Sasquatch science
The hunt for Bigfoot sounds like the opposite of good science, but those pursuing the creature are often serious empiricists - by Andrew Bartlett & Jamie Lewis Read on Aeon
For decades, sightings of Bigfoot, or Sasquatch, have captivated the imagination of those who believe in the existence of this elusive creature. Despite the lack of scientific consensus on its existence, the community of Bigfoot enthusiasts, known as Bigfooters, have pursued the search for empirical evidence.
