| Does Bigfoot Exist?
We at Expedition Bigfoot believe in the existence of Bigfoot/Sasquatch either from personal experience and encounters or from witness testimony and evidence. Our museum provides a lot of that evidence and leaves the question of Bigfoot`s existence up to you.
So, whether you are a skeptic, believer, or �knower�, all are welcome. |
