What is the Bigfoot conspiracy theory?

The Bigfoot conspiracy theory is one of the myths that dates back centuries.

There are several stories of mythical, giant, ape-like humans lurking in North America, particularly in the mountainous western region of North America.

The stories revolve around seven-foot-tall, hairy men who stalk the woods, occasionally scaring hikers, campers, and lumberjacks.

Some have reportedly described Bigfoot as an eight-foot adult male who weighs about 800 pounds and has feet twice the size of an average human.

In addition, some characteristics of the creatures have been described as being shy and nocturnal. People who promote this conspiracy also say that the creatures only eat berries and fruits.

Bigfoot is also known in different cultures around the world and is sometimes referred to as Sasquatch, Yowie Man, Yeti or Witiko.

Where may Bigfoot have been sighted?

In the 1800s and 1900s, North American settlers began reporting sightings of a so-called Bigfoot, with occasional alleged encounters with the creature, blurry photos and videos, and finds of large footprints.

In addition to reported sightings of Bigfoot in some parts of North America, sightings have been reported in Asia and Europe.

What do scientists say about Bigfoot?

Many scholars debunk Bigfoot’s story, describing it as either a campfire tale or a complete myth.

However, some scientists boldly claim that there is forensic evidence to support claims of the existence of something like Bigfoot.

Jeff Meldrum, a professor of anatomy and anthropology at Idaho State University at Pocatello, believes there is a mysterious creature yet to be discovered.

According to National Geographic, Jeff Meldrum stated, “Based on the scientific evidence I’ve examined, I’m convinced there is a creature out there that has yet to be identified.”
