A West Virginia man claims to have found evidence of Bigfoot on a muddy patch of land in Ritchie County.
Chuck Headley posted photos of a large five-toed footprint on the Bigfoot Believers Facebook group, sparking a heated debate among members.
The mysterious print, which was spotted in Ritchie County, West Virginia, had the outline of five stubby toes and appeared to indicate the beast had walked out of a small body of water.
However, not everyone was impressed with Headley’s discovery. Some users of the Facebook group wondered why there was only one footprint and no other signs of the creature’s presence.
They suggested that the footprint could have been made by another animal, or even recreated by someone.
“Why only one print?” wrote one user. “Why is there always only ONE footprint? What? Bigfoot only jumps on one foot and then lands a mile away?
The worldwide fascination with Bigfoot dates back to 1967, when images emerged in the Six Rivers National Forest.
The famous “Patterson-Gimlin” footage, a grainy three-minute clip, showed a furry creature moving through the forest and marked the alleged first-ever recording of Bigfoot by adventurers Roger Patterson and Bob Gimlin.
Despite the intrigue surrounding Bigfoot, experts generally dismiss claims of its existence as lacking credibility. The prevailing consensus among specialists is that the belief in the existence of this large, ape-like creature is the result of hoaxes or confusion rather than legitimate sightings of a real creature.
