...Bigfoot is an ape-like creature apparently inhabiting the Pacific Northwest forests of North America. Frequently described as a large, hairy, bipedal humanoid and popularly referred as Sasquatch. The scientific community abdicates the existence of Bigfoot and considers it to be a combination of folklore, misidentification, and hoaxes. Despite the negative scientific consensus, yet Bigfoot is the most famous example of a cryptid within crypto-zoology. Tales of untamed man exist amongst the indigenous population of the Pacific Northwest. Their description varies both regionally and locally. Similar stories are spun across the globe except Antarctica. Some regional versions contain more nefarious creatures. Paul Kane in 1847, reported stories...

...In the United States alone, there are over 5,000 reported sightings of Bigfoot to the Bigfoot Field Researchers Organization (BFRO); over seventy of those sightings have occurred in Minnesota (BFRO, 1995). Sasquatch has been a feature in many cultures’ folklore throughout history, having a variety of different names and mannerisms, but the physical descriptions of the cryptid are all the same -- large, brown, hairy, and smelly beasts. While many may believe that these eyewitness accounts and stories have been pranks or hoaxes, advancements in modern technology has allowed believers to become closer than ever to proving those skeptics wrong. The most famous form of Bigfoot evidence is footprint casts, as their large size was what coined the name Bigfoot in the first place, yet many skeptics will say that the prints hadn’t been made by sasquatch, but pranksters. DNA is number one form of evidence that all Bigfoot researchers and believers are hoping for, as it’s the one form of evidence that cannot be denied. So sasquatch hunters go into the woods with the goal to come home with a sample of hair or blood, and hope to capture photographs of the beast itself. Researchers will soon be able to prove that the quality, and quantity, of sasquatch...

I was going to stay there a little while longer, but, well...I fell in some mud and just couldn't handle being so dirty out in public! Nice to meet you all." "Uh, yeah, hey." Grunkle Stan said.

...In October of 2009, I placed an inexpensive trail camera at the feeding station located on the public land research area. This camera captured a video of one of these “other cryptids”. This was the first occurrence of a “non-Bigfoot” Nephilim creature being captured on video during my research. The trail camera was tripped by an unseen subject shaking it from the side, then, an arm passes in front of the camera. In my opinion, the unseen subject was investigating the trail camera. In front of the camera, in the thick vegetation, is the face of a creature that has features similar to the fictional character “Skeletor.” The video reveals a creature with a white face, dark deep eye sockets, and slim nose. When I first viewed this video, I considered that this might be a Bigfoot. A more thorough analysis of the footage convinced me that this creature was not a Bigfoot, but some unknown cryptid. (Exhibit A)...

...On May 10th, 2010 I had the experience that convinced me completely that the creature known as Bigfoot was not only intelligent, but it also possessed an awareness of human technology. I was in an area of high Bigfoot activity that is located in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. I was hot and sweaty from the climb up the mountain. I sat down, took off my backpack, enjoyed a drink of water, and snacked on a granola bar I had stashed in my backpack. The birds were singing and it was a pleasant afternoon. I almost fell asleep because it was such a relaxing atmosphere, but the buzzing of mosquitoes around my face quickly drew my attention. The insect repellant I had applied at the beginning of my expedition was losing its effectiveness. I...

...The Big Foot is said to be a giant ape-man living in the North America. One man who attended the conference on the Big Foot, claims that because there are bits of evidence suggesting Big Foot might be real, then that proves Big Foot is real. After SEARCHing the claim, I cannot say the claim is reasonable to believe Big Foot exist based on the evidence by people. This man, who went to the conference on the Big Foot, begun to believe Big Foot does exist. At the conference, he realized there are bits of evidence to prove Big Foot does really exist. Also, he learned no one has offered any proof that Big Food does not exist. Based on these two premises, this man believes Big Food exist. The claim is testable. He started to believe Big Foot’s existence according to the conference he went, so we can first check that if there was any conference about the Big Foot. Aso, he mentions about there are bits of evidence that prove Big Foot existence. Therefore, we can research about Big Foot’s evidence to find if that evidence can proof Big Foot really exists. However, his claim is testable, the evidence is all anecdotal. This person said Big Foot was found in North America but this is also anecdotal. There is no real scientific proof that Big foot leaves in North America and there is no evidence to explain the reason Big Foot lives here. He also mentions no one has offered any proof that Big Foot does not exist. This evidence is empirical. There was nothing. This is a logical fallacy. This...

...I don’t think either one of us were willing to admit it at the time, but the thought of actually coming into contact with a Bigfoot was a little more than frightening. The only weapons we had at our disposal were David’s Swiss army knife and my Red rider BB gun. If there was a Bigfoot in those mountains, I wasn’t too sure I wanted to meet him. And though David didn’t say it, I could tell he wasn’t keen on the idea himself. But the bravado of the male ego can never be underestimated, and we pressed on without hesitation. We spent the majority of Friday afternoon preparing for our excursion. It wasn’t that hard. All we had to do was set up my tent in the back yard and wait for my folks to go to sleep. But that didn’t stop us from discussing our plans as if the fate of the world depended on us. It’s a well-known fact that young boys love adventure, or at least they love the idea of adventure. Either way, we were closing in on the point of no return, and neither one of us wanted to be branded a chicken. “Hey,...

...This paper will be giving you all the information on what you may need to find your very own Bigfoot. You’ll be informed about some different things scientists have to say about what he is and where he’s been located in recent times and his behavior out in the wild. Also you’ll learn about his physical abilities and traits, then about his diet. Also about some different things scientists have to say about what he is. There’s been a lot of discussion about what he actually is. The most commonly accepted theory about what he is that he belongs to the Ape family, which seems to make sense given that he looks like a giant monkey. Some scientists believe that he is just a breed of Neanderthal that just progressed but didn’t go through evolution...

...decided to not launch the BIGFOOT pizza. The following gives a detailed analysis, offers alternatives to improving the Pizza Hut experience, and gives reasons why we came to this conclusion. Economic Analysis: First off, we appreciate the opportunity to have had an important role in Pizza Hut's latest product development, BIGFOOT. As you know, over the past five years market shares for the industry have changed much more drastically than in recent years. Our market share has been stagnant, and sales are down 10% this year in relation to last year's numbers. During the same period, Little Caesars made a strong push and they have continued to grow. Little Caesars' "two for one" marketing approach was effective in infiltrating the "mom's night off" segment, and is seen by customers as a great value. This is adding direct competition into our niche market share. Little Caesars is surely not making headway with the pizza connoisseurs, but it has effectively targeted a market in which Pizza Hut does not currently have a strong presence. 50% to55% of this market is made up of family dining situations. Our marketing team has conducted multiple data analyses on ways in which we can gain market share from Little Caesars within this market. After much thought and many hours of research, we have devised a marketing plan that will potentially improve our market share. As previously presented, the new pizza being introduced to the public is the BIGFOOT. This product was conceived...

...six principles of scientific thinking. Such principles include: correlation vs. causation fallacy, ruling out rival hypothesis, falsifiability, extra ordinary claims require extraordinary evidence, reliability, and Occam’s razor. Extra ordinary claims This is a scientific thinking principal, which argues that extra ordinary claims need extraordinary evidence. In other words, the more an argument contradicts what people know already, the more convincing the evidence has to be prior to people accepting the claim. For instance, a sight on the internet “where does big foot live in North America,” reports that the encounters of Bigfoot get report throughout North America. It argues that Bigfoot is seen in every kind of climate as well geographic location (HubPages Inc, 2016). There is a lot of contradiction on the argument augment about Bigfoot and his presence in North America. There is need for convincing evidence for people to buy that. Falsifiability This is a principal detailing that a principle has to be falsifiable for a claim to be meaningful. On this site...

...tell you it may be a Yeti stalking you! That’s right Bigfoot, whether you are a believer or not this elusive creature first appeared in literature 4000 years ago in the Epic of Gilgamesh that was written on 12 clay tablets and found in the ruins of Ninevah. (Parkash, 2006) But today I am going to discuss how the history and myth of Bigfoot has its place in American culture along with key individuals and certain events that force some people to believe that this so called Wildman is not just a myth. Leif Erickson was the first person to have an encounter with the monster in 986 AD long before Christopher Columbus arrived. Leif describes it as “horribly ugly, hairy, swarthy and with big black eyes.” (Parkash, 2006) It is argued that he just saw Native Americans but the Norse were extremely hairy themselves so why would they mention the Natives as hairy. Native Americans throughout time have had their own believes and stories on the subject. Explorers in the new world recorded the Indians attitudes and beliefs for their Big Brother (Parkash, 2006) which I believe started many ideas and fears for our own culture. According the New World Encyclopedia (2009) even our own President Theodore Roosevelt has a published encounter told to him by a mountain hunter in 1893. If the President of the United States says something it must be true. In my opinion, Teddy Roosevelt and Leif Erickson had a pretty big role on the impact of Bigfoot into the American culture. However, the Native Americans...

...dreams. Mermaids are a myth intriguing me since I was a child. I would always look for a Mermaid every time I was in the ocean. They were described as beautiful young woman with the lower part of her body being the tail of a fish. Mermaids used their voices to lure sailors to what would ultimately be their death. Some stories say she would sing the sailor to sleep and drowned him. While others state that she would present them with a question that must be answered correctly. A wrong answer would evoke her to bring the seas crashing down on the entire crew. The body of a mermaid has never been found. The stories state that her flesh rots very quickly making a corpse impossible to find. Another myth I would like to be true is Bigfoot. Bigfoot is primate in appearance but has very close characteristics to man. He or she can...

...Enter the location in the parts data within bigfoot. It would be beneficial to also enter the quantities at that point. Once you have the part numbers/locations/qtys in place, I would have the techs communicate to the storeroom what parts were checked out so that inventory numbers can be updated. I would suggest you get the techs attaching the parts in the system ASAP to help keep inventory numbers accurate. This is not easy. Once you have a working system, you enter in the part number information for whatever supplier you are going to use to source parts. Our current part numbers are based on the equipment manufacturer number and not a bigfoot designated part number. It will help the ordering process if we have the vendor, part number, etc. entered into the system. Once you have locations established, please keep in mind that the job is not complete…..It has only...
