Bigfoot, also known as Sasquatch, is a figure in North American folklore said to inhabit remote forests, mainly in the Pacific north-west of the United States and British Columbia, Canada. Bigfoot is sometimes described as a large, hairy bipedal hominoid, and many believe that this animal, or its close relatives, may be found around the world under different regional names, such as the Yeti of Tibet and Nepal and the Yowie of Australia.
Bigfoot is one of the more famous examples of cryptozoology, a subject that mainstream researchers tend to dismiss as pseudoscience because of unreliable eyewitness accounts and a lack of solid physical evidence. Most experts consider the Bigfoot legend to be a combination of folklore and hoaxes, but there are a number of authors and researchers who do believe that the stories could be true.
The most famous film footage of Bigfoot is 'The Patterson Film' which was shot by the late Roger Patterson in 1967 at Bluff Creek in California. Although the footage has now been recently dismissed as fake, some experts are still convinced that it is real. Watch and decide for yourself...

At the above link's location you will also find the enhanced version of the film. It's interesting to watch to say the least.
Personally, I feel that such a creature's existence is highly unlikely...but not completely outside the realm of possibility. If nature has taught us anything it's that it is extremely unpredictable. New species are being discovered everyday...is Bigfoot really that far-fetched?
