The monsters among us: 7 shocking evidence of the existence of Bigfoot
Legends of Bigfoot, or Yeti, have been around for hundreds of years. This mysterious humanoid, allegedly living in remote mountain regions, continues to attract the attention of researchers, cryptozoologists and mystery lovers. Recently, a lot of new photo and video evidence has appeared, as well as eyewitness accounts that make you wonder: can Bigfoot really exist? In this article, we will look at seven of the most shocking evidence and learn the opinions of experts.
1. Video from the Himalayas (2020)
In early 2020, a group of climbers from Nepal claimed that they managed to film a strange creature moving along the slope of Mount Everest. The footage shows a large figure covered with thick hair, which moves on two legs. The video quickly spread on social media and sparked lively discussions.
Expert opinion: Some cryptozoologists believe that this is one of the most convincing video evidence. However, skeptics point out that it could be a bear or a man in a suit.
2. Footprints in the Snow in Siberia (2021)
In a remote region of Siberia, local hunters have found huge footprints in the snow, unlike the footprints of known animals. The tracks were about 50 centimeters long and had clearly expressed fingers.
Eyewitness accounts: “We’ve never seen anything like it,” one hunter said. The footprints led deep into the forest, but we did not dare to go further.
Expert opinion: Anthropologists find it difficult to explain the origin of the tracks and admit that they do not correspond to known animal species.
3. Sound recordings from Canada (2019)
A group of researchers from Canada published sound recordings made in the remote forests of British Columbia. The recordings heard loud, protracted screams and howls that could not be identified with known animals.
Opinion of cryptozoologists: The sounds may belong to an unknown primate. “These are not wolves, bears, or animals we don’t know about,” says researcher Paul Gray.
4. Photos from Georgia (2022)
Tourists traveling through the Caucasus Mountains claim to have accidentally photographed the Yeti. The pictures show a dark creature peeking out from behind a rock. When you zoom in on the photo, you can see features that resemble human ones.
Eyewitness accounts: “We just took landscape photos and didn’t notice it right away,” says tourist Anna Ivanova. “It was only later when we looked at the pictures that we saw this figure.”
Expert opinion: The photos aroused interest, but the quality of the images does not allow to draw unequivocal conclusions.
5. Hair found in the Himalayas (2017)
An expedition in the Himalayas found a bundle of hair entangled in branches. DNA analysis showed the sample did not match any known primate or animal species in the region.
Anthropological opinion: "This could be evidence of the existence of a species unknown to science," says Dr Sarah Hill from the University of Oxford. “More samples are needed for accurate conclusions.”
6. Video from the United States (2018)
In the forests of Washington state, a couple filmed a large creature moving between trees. The creature was tall, covered with dark hair and moved on two legs.
Eyewitness accounts: “It was scary and exciting at the same time,” says eyewitness John Miller. “We couldn’t believe our eyes.”
Opinion of cryptozoologists: Some believe it could be Bigfoot, the North American equivalent of the Yeti. The video was studied by experts, but no final conclusions were made.
7. Ancient petroglyphs in Mongolia
In remote areas of Mongolia, petroglyphs dating back more than 1,000 years have been found, depicting tall creatures with long arms and legs resembling descriptions of Bigfoot.
Anthropological opinion: “This may indicate that the legends of the Yeti have deep roots and are based on real observations of ancient people,” suggests Professor Alexei Smirnov.
Opinions of cryptozoologists and anthropologists
Cryptozoologists
Many cryptozoologists believe in the existence of Bigfoot. They point to a wealth of evidence gathered around the world and believe that the Yeti is a relic hominid that has survived to the present day.
Dr. Jeff Meldrum.Professor of Anatomy and Anthropology: “The amount of evidence and findings indicates that we cannot ignore the possibility of the existence of this creature.”
Anthropologists
Most anthropologists remain skeptical. They acknowledge that some of the evidence is interesting, but not sufficient for scientific confirmation.
Professor Jane GoodallI do not rule out the possibility of the existence of Yeti, but we need more convincing evidence - for example, skeletal remains.
Conclusion
The mystery of Bigfoot continues to excite the minds of people around the world. New evidence and findings support interest in this mystery. Perhaps in the near future, science will be able to give a definitive answer to the question of the existence of Yeti.
In the meantime, we can only guess and continue to explore the unknown. After all, it is the desire to know the secrets of nature that moves humanity forward.
