There have been thousands of bigfoot sightings since recorded history. How can there be so many sightings of the same creatures by people from every race and walk of life in geograpical locations around the world? The only answer can be, the creatures are real.

Bigfoot has been sighted throughout the United States, from the 16th Century to present. The first reported sightings were by Native Americans. He was called numerous names by different tribes. Sasquatch and Stwy-nigh-toe (phonetic spelling) are only two of over 50 different Native American names given to this creature. A similar creature that lives in the Florida swamplands is called a Skunkape, after the foul odor associated with it.  In other countries, similar creatures have been sighted on the snowy peaks of high mountains, which are called the Abominable Snowman or Yeti. In Europe, this mysterious creature goes by Kaptar, Biabin-guli, Grendel, Ferla Mohir, and Brenin Ilwyd.  In Africa, it is known as the Ngoloko or Kikomba.   Asia's bigfoot creature is called Gin-sung, Yeti, Mirygdy ,Mecheny, the Chinese Wildman, and Nguoi Rung. 

This bigfoot creature looks more like a hairy man than an ape or monkey. It is mostly reported as being between 6 - 8 feet tall, but has been sighted with a smaller female and even offspring, as small as human children. The larger, adult male of the species is rugged, and built very muscular. Its shoulders are wide, and it has very little neck area. It has short brown to black hair covering its body, with longer hair on the head. Most reports have the creature's eyes glowing or shining red in the dark when reflected by a flashlight or some other light source.

Most folks report no scent when they have encountered a Bigfoot sighting, but there are others that do report a usually rank, unpleasant smell. Some say the creature can project or discharge a scent at will, not like a skunk, by spraying, but by some other means. People have reported they smelled one smell, and then suddenly it changed into an entirely different smell. Smells have been described as "like rotten flesh, poop, old vomit, out-houses, rotted fish, rotten eggs, or foul and just sickening."

Bigfoot seems to make vocalizations of Ape-like grunts and growls, a scream like sound, whistles and other strange calls.

Indians almost all believe Bigfoot is a non-physical creature. Some Indian tribes mention that they have seen the creature transform into a wolf. Some say he is a shape shifter, who can change his form at will to many creature or inanimate forms to blend with his surroundings or fulfill his needs, which explains why only a few have been seen.

Others think that these creatures live in another dimension from the physical plane, but can come here as they desire. Indians also believe Bigfoot has great psychic abilities, reports of sightings show the creature can be visible to some people, while at the same time remain invisible to others in the same group. There are many reports from non-Indians who saw the creature after a UFO sighting. And others that have searched for, and researched Bigfoot for years are coming to the conclusion that the creature is a spiritual being, because he can appear or disappear at will.

Great Lakes Indians mention that if one is walking in the woods and you hear the sound of a stick being hit against a hollow log or tree, beware, for this area is Sasquatch territory. Read the articles below to learn more about Bigfoot.
