“HUNTING BIGFOOT” by Thom Carter
HOME BLOG ABOUT CONTACT
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!
THE TRUTH
Most photos or videos of Sasquatches are unclear. Some might not be
authentic. Some “Sasquatches” are actually people wearing giant ape
costumes! Real Sasquatches may exist, but it’s unlikely. Apes usually
prefer to live in warm countries in Africa and Asia, not in cold, northern
forests. Sadly, I don’t believe Thom has discovered a North American
ape. Still, it’s a great story!
