Bigfoot

Bigfoot Fake or Real 
By Vamsee Padala
Bigfoot is a ape like cryptid animal also known as sasquatch inhabits forests in the northwest regions. Bigfoot is known as a large hairy bipedal humanoid/ape.Scientist don’t believe in bigfoot and call it a hoax or folklore,  rather than a living animal, in part because of the large numbers thought necessary to maintain a breeding population.Bigfoot remains one of the more famous examples of a cryptid within cryptozoology, and an enduring legend.Bigfoot is described in reports as a large hairy ape-like creature, in a range of 6–10 feet (2–3 m) tall, weighing in excess of 500 pounds (230 kg), and covered in dark brown or dark reddish hair. Alleged witnesses have described large eyes, a pronounced brow ridge, and a large, low-set forehead; the top of the head has been described as rounded and crested, similar to the sagittal crest of the male gorilla. Do you believe bigfoot is real, well in a poll i did around 60% of people believe that bigfoot is fake and 40% of the people believe that bigfoot is real. Recently bigfoot was spotted in Idaho when some high schoolers were out filming something for their class then they say they had a bigfoot encounter. Also oregon is 3rd most in amount of sightings of bigfoot. The part of the us we live in has the most sightings in the usa. Washington has 532 sighting of bigfoot. California has the second most amount of sightings with 432. Oregon is 3rd with 227 sightings of bigfoot. So our area has the most sightings in the usa. Here is a quote from BFRO a bigfoot researchers about a sighting of bigfoot in oregon from last year: It was about 7:15am and overcast but had just stopped raining. I was hunting near Hugo, Oregon. I was about a half a mile from where I parked my vehicle walking on an ATV trail. It was still mostly dark and I had my flashlight in my hand but turned off. I was trying to be quiet as possible while walking quickly because I wanted to make good time to a favorite clearing without spooking any deer that may be in the area.As I was walking, I saw a very large animal walking upright in front of me across the trail at about 10 yards. It didn't appear to be running but expanded the distance of about 15-20 feet in two strides from left to right of the trail. It did so without making any noise that I can remember.I instantly froze and clicked on the flashlight. What I saw made my hair stand on end. I saw a large muscular dark fur covered animal that looked to be about 7 - 7 1/2 feet tall. I guess it would be around 500 lbs. I have seen a few bears and I know positively that it was not a bear. It was maybe 20 yards away from me and moving quickly down the hillside and into the trees. The entire encounter lasted just a few seconds. I don't believe it looked back at me so I don't know what it's face looked like. I was fixated on it's body.It never made any threatening movements toward me but I had never been that scared in my life. I quickly turned around and quickly walked back to my vehicle and left. This was a long time ago and this could have been set up by people so this could have been. I don’t believe in bigfoot.
