Does Bigfoot roam the Devon coast? A group of hikers found a huge footprint that could belong to the elusive creature.
If you’re a fan of cryptozoology, you may be familiar with the legend of Bigfoot, the hairy humanoid said to live in the forests of North America. But did you know that similar creatures have been sighted and reported in other parts of the world, including Britain?
One such case occurred earlier this month, when a group of walkers came across a mysterious footprint along the Maidencombe coastal path in Devon, England. The print was so large and clear that it looked as if it had been made by a giant bare foot.

The group said they were all “weird.”

The group followed the path for about 20 yards and discovered that it came from nearby Watcombe Forest.
One of the walkers, who wished to remain anonymous, said: “The prints were large. I’m a size 11 and they were half their size again. It was clearly a bare foot, every print was perfect like the one in the photo. It made us weird. We did not expect this during a Sunday walk.”
The footprint was about 40 cm long and 20 cm wide and had five toes. It resembled the many so-called Bigfoot prints found in North America over the years, which have fueled speculation that a hidden population of ape-like creatures lives in the wilderness.
Some researchers have suggested that Bigfoot could be a remnant of an ancient hominid species that survived the Ice Age and adapted to different environments.
Others have proposed that Bigfoot could be an interdimensional being that can travel between worlds and manifest in physical form. Still others have argued that Bigfoot could be a paranormal phenomenon related to UFOs, ghosts or other supernatural forces.
Of course, there are also more mundane explanations for the footprint. It could be a hoax, made by someone with a big wooden or rubber foot.
