I think there was an animal *like* bigfoot at one point in the Pacific Northwest; probably died off like a thousand years ago or longer. Gigantopithicus I think it's called? Anyway, this is just myth shit. Skinwalkers = prairie nigger myth to scare children away from predatory prairie niggers. Bigfoot is something along the same lines. Most monster myths made by most cultures throughout history have always had some kind of message, some lesson meant to teach people to avoid stupid shit. A more contemporary example of such a myth would be "Don't walk under a ladder/don't break a mirror or you'll get 7 years bad luck." Does either of these actions actually cast a curse on the person? Probably not. What those sayings are probably meant to do- dissuade people from walking under ladders *where they could hurt themselves/someone else or damage an ongoing project.* Make people think they'll be cursed, and they'll stay *far* away from that fucking ladder. Same thing with mirrors- mirrors used to be really, really expensive because of the silver. Breaking a mirror is not only tremendously wasteful, but potentially dangerous to the person who breaks it. I recall a story (might be a myth) where an elderly man smashed his mirror and cut himself so badly, he bled out. Myths are fascinating, aren't they?
