Junior Skeptic advisor Shoshana Cohen demonstrates a traditional method of faking bigfoot tracks. A pair of enormous feet are carved from a board and attached to a pair of shoes.

introduction

In this issue of Junior Skeptic, we’ll explore the legendary creature known as Bigfoot, rumored to roam the forests of North America. Like his Asian brother, the Yeti, he’s alleged to be bipedal (walk on two feet) and to appear vaguely humanoid with features very similar to other ape species. Basically he looks like Chewbacca. Why do people believe there is a Bigfoot? Are these creatures all just men in suits? How likely is he to be real? Is there any harm in believing in Bigfoot? Let’s find out!
