One day in 1924, five men who were camping in
the Cascade Mountains of Washington saw a group
of huge apelike creatures coming out of the
woods. They hurried back to their cabin and
locked themselves inside. While they were in,
the creatures attacked them by throwing rocks
against the walls of the cabin. After several
hours, these strange hairy giants went back into
the woods. After this incident the men
returned to the town and told the people of
their adventure. However, only a few people
accepted their story. These were the people who
remembered hearing tales about footprints of an
animal that walked like a human being.
The five men, however, were not the first
people to have seen these creatures called
Bigfoot. Long before their experience, local
Native Americans were certain that a race of
apelike animals had been living in the
neighboring
mountain for centuries. They called these
creatures Sasquatch.
In 1958, workmen, who were building a road
through the jungles of Northern California often
found huge footprints in the earth around their
camp.
Then in 1967, Roger Patterson, a man who was
interested in finding Bigfoot went into the
northern California jungles with a friend. While
riding, they were suddenly thrown off from their
horses. Patterson saw a tall apelike animal
standing not far away. He managed to shoot seven
rolls of film of the hairy creature before the
animal disappeared in the hushes. when
Patterson's film was shown to the public, not
many people believed his story.
In another incident, Richard Brown, a music
teacher and also an experience hunter spotted a
similar creature. He saw the animal clearly
through the telescopic lens of his rifle. He
said the creature looked more like a human than
an animal.
Later many other people also found deep
footprints in the same area. In spite of regular
reports of sightings and footprints, most
experts still do not believe that Bigfoot really
exists. |
