What is Bigfoot (Sasquatch)?
Bigfoot, also called Sasquatch, is a towering, hair-covered, ape-like humanoid said to roam the dense forests of the Pacific Northwest and beyond, standing well over two meters tall and leaving behind the oversized footprints that gave it its name. The legend draws on centuries-old oral traditions of Indigenous peoples across North America, who described wild, hairy forest beings long before European settlers arrived, and it merged with pioneer-era tales of "wild men" in the woods. Bigfoot became a nationwide sensation after the 1958 discovery of large footprints in Northern California, but the creature's defining moment came in 1967 at Bluff Creek, when Roger Patterson and Bob Gimlin filmed a large, dark, bipedal figure walking across a creek bed, a clip still debated today. Skeptics argue the film shows a person in a costume and attribute most sightings to bears, misidentified animals and hoaxed tracks, while no bone, body or definitive photograph has ever confirmed the species. Bigfoot remains a defining icon of American folklore and pop culture.
