The Legend of Bigfoot
>> Sunday, November 20, 2011
The creature was never found to be convincing. There are only stories and blurry photos are still questionable authenticity. But why myths and legends about the great ape-like creature that is present deep in various cultures?
Big hairy creature that walked like a human, which is said to hide in the forests or areas difficult to reach. In North America they are called Bigfoot or Sasquatch. In Asia, particularly the Himalayan region, they are known as the Yeti or the terrible snowman. In South America, the Amazon, there is the term Mapinguari, his nickname is currently in Australia Yowie.
Is it true that the creatures exist in the real world? An old Sherpa in the Himalayas once said, "Yeti exists behind all the human mind, only those who are blessed are not haunted by the creature."
Exists or not, which obviously many cultures have stories about hairy man. Their appearance in North America and Asia has been discussed since the early 1800's. Despite a lot of stories, photos, and their footprints, but so far there has never been scientific evidence that they exist. Never found droppings, bones, and his body, alive or dead.
Reports of the first documented bigfoot is found traces of a Canadian trader in 1811. The name bigfoot (big feet) and then widely known after the media reports about a large footprint found in Bluff Creek, Calif., in 1959. While the most famous bigfoot photo taken in 1967 though still debated its authenticity.
More recently, as bigfoot seekers get new hope when the hair is found bigfoot population Teslin in the Yukon. They claim to find the hair around large footprints left by the creature as high as 3 meters, the same man, who looked on their home page earlier this month.
Geneticists from the University of Alberta and the hair DNA test to find out who the owner is. The researchers suspect the hair actually comes from a bear or bison which are common in the Yukon. But if it turns found something new, we may be getting closer to the disclosure of the mystery of bigfoot. The results of these studies was announced last week.
But that is later used. Whatever the results of research the University of Alberta, the myth about bigfoot does not need scientific facts seem to always attract people's attention.
Myth or real?
Bigfoot is something tangible to those who claimed to have seen it. But opinion is divided in two. Some people believe bigfoot as being bloody meat, while others - including indigenous tribes in America - believe it as a supernatural being who showed himself to man in times of distress.
Ralph Gray Wolf, a member of the Indian tribes of Alaska Athapaska, say, Sasquatch appeared to help the groups that are having problems. They bring the message the need for a change.
The same was found in Britain, linked with the legend that has been heard since centuries. Two years ago some researchers on an expedition to Bolam Lake, near Newcastle. They trace the appearance of creatures big and dark touted since the 18 months before. On a day in the lush banks of the lake, six people from the group finally saw what they called Beast of Bolam.
"What they see is not a bigfoot or Sasquatch. He is a hazy figure in the trees, and more like ghosts than fleshy creatures. Moreover, if the creature's fleshy, English is not a suitable place for them, "said Richard Freeman, of the Centre for Fortean Zoology, which one of his friends to witness the apparition.
It makes him believe, the legends of bigfoot - also Big Grey Man of Ben MacDhui in Scotland and in Wales Grey King - actually a paranormal creature. "They're not a ghost or spirit of a dead creature. I think they are more complex than that. "
In his journey as a professional monster hunter, Freeman has traveled all over the world collecting the stories and clues about the mysterious creatures. He found in many cultures, there is a creature type that always arise. He called it as a general model of international monster, which include the dragon and other giant reptiles, a large ape creature like Sasquatch and Yeti, tiny people like short men and dwarves, giant birds, dogs and cats as well as imitation.
"Perhaps these monsters similar to the creatures that our ancestors encountered. Perceptions about the creature's ancestors left in our minds. Well, under certain conditions, the creatures seem to appear in front of us. "
"Being in mind it's the truth often arise. If we believe in the existence of something, then what we see is often manifest as what we believe, "said Freeman.
For example, in experiments in Loch Ness, the researchers a piece of wood floating in the lake monster known inhabited. Wood laid the afternoon when a group of tourists visiting. The result, most visitors are sure you have seen Nessie, the inhabitants of the lake!
Those people seem to already have a conviction about the existence of monsters, making it easy for them to say, "I saw Nessie, or Bigfoot, or Yeti," when they see something.
Well, the last Sasquatch sightings in the Yukon, the results of laboratory studies showed that the fur left behind the monster turns out to bison fur. But like previous events, stories and sightings bigfoot expected to continue to emerge. The search will continue. And the truth of its existence will remain in their eyes have ever seen.
