BIG FOOT/SASQUATCH/HAIRY MAN/BIG APE (?)
Attendees of Leyenda Middle School in British Colombia were shocked & delighted to spot elusive legend, Big Foot cutting the proverbial rug at the Fall Frenzy dance and talent show. The middle-schoolers reported being more impressed with the hairy creature’s dance moves than hygiene. A few went home with bruised feet but generally agreed it was worth it for the unbelievable experience of dancing with Mr. Foot. Questions remain: Why did this normally shy humanoid crash a middle school dance? And why, after joining the band for a rowdy rendition of “Anti-Hero” did he quickly disappear into the night leaving nothing behind but a tuft of fur and his musky scent?
A Mythological Creature by Any Other Name, Still Smells The Same.
Big Foot, also known as Sasquatch, an Anglicization of the name Sasq’ets, from the Halq’emeylem language spoken by First Nations peoples in southwestern British Columbia1 is a large, humanoid, hairy man, reportedly with glowing red or yellow eyes, no neck, broad shoulders and long arms that hang down by his sides. Many indigenous nations across the United States have stories of a bigfoot-like creature in their histories going back a very long time. And throughout the world there have been reports of similar creatures, including the Yeti of East Asia, the Bardin Booger of Florida and, Australia’s Yowie.
More recently Bigfoot in popular culture has devolved into a series of sports mascots, children’s entertainments, and cryptozoological reality shows. I mean, who would do such a thing?
As of this writing, the most recent Big Foot citing was in Silverton, Colorado with a pretty credible video. One may almost expect to see Big Foot lumbering around places known for sightings namely the Pacific Northwest of the United States and parts of Canada, but Colorado? That’s a new (and dare I say, exciting one).
Before you take out word, or anyone’s for that matter, we invite you to do your own research on the topic.
