Some “experts” in the field of Bigfoot/Sasquatch (and all the other names the animal is called around the world) think that it  could simply be human and suffering from the hairy condition known as hyersutism or hypertrichosis, the latter known as werewolf syndrome. While these conditions can account for the hairiness of these beings it doesn’t explain the great height and bulk of them. It is true the creature has been reported and sighted in all sizes, short to twelve feet, and hair from long to short. And we must not forget, perhaps they are not all the same being. On the website, Bigfoot Encounters (http:www.bigfootencounters.com/) and on page “What’s New?” in article “What do we Know About Sasquatch Hair, Really? by Bobbie Short, you will see several photos of humans with this hairy condition. Several of the photos look just like the werewolf film stars of the movies.

     In the article mentioned above, someone stated that if all the hair were taken off Bigfoot, a human form would be revealed. I can believe that. In November’s National Geographic there is a photo of a hairless chimp. He was born with fuzz but soon lost even that. The animal is steel-grey in color and in front of a green leaf background. The arm muscles stand out reminding one of a human’s arm. While the animal “looks” humanlike, it does not surprise me, for I believe we have the same Creator, so it is understandable that we would share some of the same body design.  

     I keep returning to the above mentioned website because I find it very informative. It seems there are more and more conferences around the states discussing Bigfoot/Sasquatch. And what is more exciting, the conferences are being sold out.

     I would love to know your thoughts on this animal, or whatever it proves to be. Have you seen something? Remember I will not reveal your name, just initials, and not those if that is your wish.
