the Pacific\c\c&HE5E5E5&} 1975 here in this

forest investigators have discovered

set very strange footprints

human-like footprints8 inches

andinchesc&HCCCCCC&} the footprints of a

giantsteriousroaming

this wildernesst has

confounded scientists baffled

investigators and captured the

imagination of millions

all heard of the reported sightings

this creature

a creature most of us know as Bigfoot

we've read about it in our newspapers

and heard about it on a

televisionof you like me might

have been skepticals

wondering how it could be

sizabletion of 8-foot 500-pound

monsters to live among us on the edge of

our industrialized&HE5E5E5&} I was

skeptical well I was\c}

what I heard so I decided to find out

forself whether Bigfoot was fact or

fiction\c\c&HE5E5E5&} this by going out to talk

tohe eyewitnesses questioning

scientists by examining the footprints

by looking at and

the availablet I found

I will now show you a body of evidence

difficult to ignore

first there's thec}

phenomenon isc\c&HE5E5E5&} the ditch year

people of all kinds from many places

report seeing thec}

describing it asc\c&HE5E5E5&} with hair

in the last decade alone&} been

over reported sightings of Bigfoot

inmerica it's called by different

names innt parts of the country

like Momo or the folk monster or the

skunk ape orr the

monster

whatever they call

it are all describing the same thing

I felt something&HE5E5E5&} me or a

feelingng watched

around and that's whenCCCCC&} I

was terrifiedtc}

shock

the totally unexpected

equation I could make on

it was asaw this hairy

looking animal crossing the road on his

hind legs and I can't tell you for

whether what it was but

was Bigfoot

[Music]

in spite eyewitness testimony

there are scientists who say the

creatures like Bigfoot do not exist

such monsters dwell\c}

not in ourc}

[Music]

they point outalways

quick to in monsters

beliefs aref the unknown

nurtured by the unexplained

[Music]

but even these scientists agree that

some monsters have had a basis in fact

[Music]

for centuries Western man had heard

rumors about a legendary man monster

that roamed the jungles of darkest

Africasn't until the late 19th

centurycience caught up with this

legendary monster calling it the gorilla
