Mystery of Bigfoot

Whether you believe this elusive creature exists or is just a figment of imagination, you can still discuss and wonder about what bigfoot could possibly be. In cryptozoological groups and paranormal researchers, five main explanations have come to light.

Bigfoot as an Elusive Primate

The majority of people who believe in Bigfoot consider the creature to be a large humanoid primate with a lot of hair. This belief seems the most reasonable and is also backed up by many of the behaviors witnessed during Bigfoot sightings. Some Bigfoot researches give examples of large nests made out of branches and leaves like the ones gorillas make.

Bigfoot as an Alien Species

If you do not wish to consider Bigfoot as an actual earth-based primate species that has not been documented by traditional science, you might prefer the alien transplant hypothesis. Some believe Bigfoot was put on earth by other-worldly creatures for a reason, or forgotten or stranded by a space ship crash.

Bigfoot as a Mystical Shape Shifter

The concept of Bigfoot being a shape shifting paranormal animal may stem from Native American tales of skin walkers and wild men. Many people who have seen bigfoot claim that he disappeared behind a tree stump or rock in an almost magical way. Some think that the large animal can be invisible at will. This is one possible explanation for the difficultly in spotting him in the dense forests.

Bigfoot as a Prehistoric Leftover

Among the Bigfoot believers with a more scientific knowledge, the concept that bigfoot may be a leftover from the prehistoric days is popular. Instead of an animal, bigfoot is sometimes considered an early human, or an offshoot of the great ape to human evolutionary tree.

Bigfoot as a Being from Another Dimension

Does Bigfoot only exist in our world, or is he a popular creature in other dimensions? Some believers in the paranormal believe that Bigfoot might be able to side step into a parallel universe or world whenever he wants to. For those who believe in multiple dimensions, the concept of Bigfoot as pan-dimensional traveler is not that far fetched.

Believers in Bigfoot have many different ways to explain the elusive creature. Whether he is an early human, a great ape, an alien life form, or a spiritual shifter, Bigfoot has captured the imaginations of thousands of people all over the world.
