Debunking the Paranormal

Sightings of Bigfoot have been seen in different places and been described in various ways. A recent study concluded that “Most descriptions set Bigfoot to be between seven and eight feet tall however other sightings have described the creature to be as tall as fourteen feet, and as short as five feet”(DSCL, 2014). Bigfoot also vary in colors including black, brown, and white. According to (DSCL, 2014), “ Bigfoot fur range from black, white, brown and even red and many Bigfoot stories describe the beast as having a foul odor. Although, people encounter Bigfoot and found evidence leading to that story, Bigfoot would still be a legend until a live Bigfoot body is recovered.(DSCL,2014). According to the information, “Although there have been many Bigfoot videos, stories, recorded sounds, hair samples, and foot tracks all claiming to prove the legendary animal's existence, until a live Bigfoot body, or recovered carcass is found that can be put to test then the legend will remain just as that.

3 Accounts

One account of Bigfoot occurred in 1871 near Harrison Lake, in British Columbia when a 17 year old girl named Seraphine was snatched and held by Bigfoot for a year (Wickramshingle,2014). According to the article, “Scared and confused she was led by her captor across the Harrison River to a remote part of the wilderness. In the shelter, to her dismay, she found herself in the presence of two older and larger Bigfoot, one male, and one female---apparently her younger abductor was their offspring.” This article leaves the story unclear because they do not know why they let her return (Wickramshingle,2014).

Another account of Bigfoot occurred around 1993, in Ohio when a young girl claimed she saw two Bigfoots drinking water from a Cree...

...vided in this research presented evidence that brought the conclusion to Bigfoot does not exist. In the first account, the claimant tries to proves that Bigfoot is real, yet there was no adequate information. In the second account, the claimant thinks she saw a Bigfoot from 50 feet away, and she was blind by the sun while she was looking. It makes the account inadequate. In the third account, the claimant also thinks he saw Bigfoot while walking his dog. The information is inadequate because he had no actual evidence to show. All the accounts contained inadequate information, and did not contain any factual information. Although the accounts had a lot of evidence, there was nothing to support the claim of the existence of Bigfoot. None of the accounts were believable or replicable. Summarizing everything up, Bigfoot is just a mythical creature that does not exist.
