“HUNTING BIGFOOT” by Thom Carter
HOME BLOG ABOUT CONTACT
I’ve sent the video to science journalist Jenny Hwang. Can she explain
it? It’s clear it can’t be a fake. It’s obviously real. Skeptics think
Sasquatches can’t be real because there isn’t enough evidence. My
video might change that! Did you know scientists once believed that
mountain gorillas were "just a story”, too? Until an explorer
discovered one in Rwanda in 1902, that is.
NEW EVIDENCE?
I’ve checked Thom’s video carefully, and I think I may have solved the
mystery. The film isn’t very clear, but it looks like a bear. Thom might
not have known that brown bears sometimes walk on two legs.
Standing, they can be almost as tall as a basketball hoop. A 2.5 – meter-
high bear must look terrifying!
