Description
As a huge fan (though not a believer) of the mighty BigFoot, I've always been intrigued by eye-witness stories that are accompanied by detailed descriptions or photographic evidence. Here are some of the more famous BigFeet that appear in most books and google searches, depicted as biological creatures, based on the descriptions (and film). Left to right are: Sycamore Flat campground sighting of 1973 by two teens in the back of a '53 Chevy pickup, the Fouke Monster as described by James Lynn Crabtree in 1971 (allegedly based on his 1965 sighting), Roger Patterson's famous movie film subject from 1967, and an adult male mountain gorilla for scale. The Sycamore Flat creature is based on the cardboard cutout seen in the famous photo of the two eye-witnesses and driver of the truck. Interestingly, it and the Fouke Monster had 3 toes, not 5 based on the footprints cast at the site. Perhaps not coincidentally, three toes were a common theme of footprint finds in the 1970's after release of the exploitation film "Bigfoot" in 1970. In that film, three toed tracks are shown as belonging to a large, male BigFoot that wants to mate with human women. This is my last art piece of 2016. Thanks for looking!
