Creatures, Myths & Legends

Bigfoot enthusiast photographs huge five-toed print in West Virginia

The footprint, which measured around 9 inches in width, was found in a patch of mud in Ritchie County.
There are few cryptozoological creatures that have generated as much debate and intrigue over the years as Bigfoot - a large hairy hominid said to roam the remote forests of North America.

For many, Bigfoot is little more than a myth, while for others, its existence is undisputed - often due to a personal experience that has left little doubt in that person's mind that the creature is the real deal.

One individual who would seem to fall firmly into the latter category is Chuck Headley from West Virginia who recently took to the Bigfoot Believers Facebook group to post up a couple of snaps of something that he believed to be evidence of the creature's existence.

What he had found was a large five-toed footprint measuring approximately 9 inches in width.
Sure enough, the images he posted do show what appears to be a large footprint, but other users were quick to point out that the absence of any other footprints in the vicinity was a bit suspect.

"Why only one print ?" another user commented. "Why is there always only ONE footprint ? What ? Bigfoot only hops on one foot then lands a mile away ?"

Ultimately, there's only so much that can be determined from photographs of a single footprint.

Could it have been left by some other type of animal ? Could it even be a hoax ?

You decide.
