AMERICAN
LORE & LEGENDS
Cryptozoology And
Bigfoot |

Bigfoot has
been sighted throughout the United States, from the 16th Century to
present. The first reported sightings were by
Native
Americans. He was called numerous names by different
Indian
tribes, 'sasquatch' was only one of over 50 different
Indian
names given to the creature. This creature looks more like a hairy man
than an ape or monkey. It is mostly reported as being between 6 - 8 feet
tall, but has been sighted with a smaller female and even offspring, as
small as human children. The larger, adult male of the species is rugged,
and built very muscular. It's shoulders are wide, and it has very little
neck area. It has short brown to black hair covering it's body, with
longer hair on the head. Most reports have the creatures eyes glowing or
shining red in the dark when reflected by a flashlight or some other light
source.

| Most folks report no odor
when they have encountered
Bigfoot,
but the others that do, have started showing a pattern of a strange
anomaly, the creature can project or discharge a scent, at will, not
like a skunk, by spraying, but by some other means. People have
reported one smell, then suddenly it changes into an entirely
different odor. Odors have been described as: rotten flesh, poop, old
vomit, out-houses, rotted fish, rotten eggs, or foul and just
sickening.
Bigfoot seems to make Ape-like grunts and growls, to almost a
scream like sound, and others have heard whistles and strange calls.
Indians almost all believe
Bigfoot
is a non-physical creature. Some
Indian tribes mention that they have seen the creature transform
into a wolf. Others think that these creatures live in another
dimension from the physical plane, but can come here as they desire.
Indians also believe
Bigfoot
has great psychic abilities, reports of sightings show the creature
can be visible to some people, while at the same time remain invisible
to others in the same group. There are many reports from non-Indians
who saw the creature after a UFO sighting. And others that have
searched for, and researched
Bigfoot
for years are coming to the conclusion that the creature is a
spiritual being, because he can appear or disappear at will.
Great Lakes
Indians mention that if one is walking in the woods and you hear
the sound of a stick being hit against a hollow log or tree, beware,
for this area is Sasquatch territory. This seems to be a interesting
thing to note, because other non-Indians
have even reported this. People have reported that sometimes the stick
hitting is loud or thud like, like a large log is being hit against a
tree, while at other times it is more like a small stick is being
used. Some
Bigfoot researchers have reported sightings right after hearing
these strange sounds. Besides, the stick hitting, another well
documented fact many
Bigfoot
researchers report is rock throwing. Researchers have had stones
thrown at them, and at their vehicles, and there have also been
reports from people living in
Bigfoot
hot spots, of having stones thrown on their roofs and against their
homes and cabins.
The creatures episodes of hitting sticks
and rock throwing may be the best evidence we have to show that they
are spirtual beings. If you research paranormal cases involving
'poltergeist' incidents, you will soon realize that many of the cases
involve the throwing or dropping of stones against houses, and on the
roofs of the homes where the poltergeist attacks are occurring. In
many of the poltergeist cases, the stones being dropped and thrown
were the beginning of the infestation, or encounter, just like in the
Bigfoot
cases.

| When it
comes to the sticks being hit against logs or trees we have yet another
connection to the spiritual world. When I was very young, I remember
reading an advertisement in the back of a magazine. The ad was titled
something like this: 'Talk to the Spirits with amazing JuJu Sticks'. The
JuJu sticks were cut from some sacred wood and were blessed by a voodoo
practitioner. The sticks were hit against a table or some other wooden
item, and one could supposedly here tappings or other communication back,
from the spirit world.
There is a website that describes Bigfoot and
numerous other creatures of Cryptozoology in detail, this website is
called: Unknown Creatures, and may be found at this address:
