Ancient indigenous Native American rock art (petroglyphs) warn of Sasquatch creatures in area.

There really are killer "monsters" in the woods

Sasquatches, Yakkhas, Rakshasas, Yeren, Yetis, also commonly referred to as "Bigfoot," is a large, hairy cryptid creature said to inhabit forests around the world and in every state in North America, particularly concentrated in the Pacific Northwest [2][3][4].

Sasquatch is a feature in both Native American and Canadian (First Nations) folklore and since the mid-20th century has become a cultural icon, permeating popular culture and becoming the subject of its own distinct subculture [5][6].

The creatures are given many names worldwide.

Enthusiasts of Sasquatch (Istiyehe) hunting, such as those within the budding science of cryptozoology, have offered various forms of forensic evidence to support the existence of these Nature protectors and monsters (since they differ at least as much as human populations in terms of the behavior of individuals), including eyewitness claims of sightings as well as DNA, hair specimens, bodies, photographs, video, and particularly shocking audio recordings, in addition to a long history of tens of thousands of plaster casts of extremely large footprints [7][8][9][10] with individual fingerprints, as noted by Lloyd Pye.

The evidence is a combination of eyewitness accounts, interactions, killings, folklore, identification, misidentification (confusing the humanin creature with bears of all kinds), and hoaxes.

The creatures are living animals but to say so causes a great deal of trouble to anyone trying to be taken seriously. Even a body is not enough because the gatekeepers and mainstream media insist and repeat that it cannot be a living creature [3][7][10][11][12][13].

Folklorists trace the phenomenon of these ogres and cave-dwelling monsters to a combination of factors and sources, including the European "wild man" figure, Asian Yeren, folk tales from every continent other than Antarctica, and indigenous cultures [14][15].

When disclosed, what will science say?

Examples of similar folk tales of wild, hair-covered humanoids exist throughout the world [16][17], such as the skunk ape of the Southeastern United States, the Almas (Almasty of Georgia and the Caucuses), Yeren of China, and Yeti of Nepal, Tibet, Bhutan, India, and the Himalayas extending from Bangladesh to Afghanistan, including the Australian Yowie [14][18], and frightful (sometimes peaceful) creatures in the mythologies of indigenous people [19][20], who consider them another human tribe.

Speculation, a growing cultural interest in the preservation of the environment, and overall societal awareness of the subject have been cited as additional factors [21]. More: Bigfoot
