Bigfoot in Oregon


Bigfoot
In
Oregon

            I feel that it is only fitting that I pay homage to my Pacific Northwest homeland and write of its most well known creature, Bigfoot.

I've heard so many different tales growing up about this illusive creature, and although I’m sure now that the majority of those tales were mean pranks by my older brother, wanting to scare me. I’m not so sure though how a creature with so many recorded sightings could not be based in some sort of fact. Some people act as if the possibility of an animal like Bigfoot to exist would be preposterous, but I don’t see anything strange or inherently wrong with the theory.


I’m hopeful that someday though that someone will find concrete evidence of Bigfoot’s existence. At this point, I don’t think anything short of a body will prove to the majority of the world that the creature exists. Until then though, Bigfoot will surely keep lurching in the corners of our minds, and wandering the distance woods of this wonderful state, and others.
