Sasquatch

The Sasquatch, (aka Bigfoot, Abominable Snowman, and the Yeti) is described as a large, bipedal hairy humanoid creature living in remote wilderness areas of the North America, such as those in southwestern Canada, the Great Lakes region, the Pacific Northwest, the Rocky Mountains, the forests of the U.S. Northeast, and the U.S. Southern states. Some believe the same creature may be found around the world under different regional names, such as Yeti. Sightings of similarly-described, unconfirmed creatures have also allegedly occurred in China, Russia, Australia and South America.

The word Sasquatch closely resembles and is derived from several native names for the creature used by tribes in the coastal area of the Pacific north west. The creature is supposed to be at least 2,1 m (6,9 ft) tall, but adults can be as tall as 3,5 m (11,5 ft). Its footprints measure somewhere between 40-55 cm (16-20 in). It has long arms, an ape-like face with a flat nose, and thick hairy fur.

It was first seen (by white men) in 1811 and since then there have been hundreds of reports on sightings and encounters. There are several photos and films of the creature, besides casts taken from its footprints, but many of these turned out to be forgeries. There are numerous people who claim they have either seen the creature itself or its tracks. Expeditions set out to search for Bigfoot have never found it, nor is there any other scientific evidence for its existence.
