Origins and legends around the world aid in the way people see Bigfoot and their beliefs about the mythological creature.
In an article from BFRO (The Bigfoot Field Researchers Organization), legends are told of the Bigfoot. The Indians from centuries ago regarded Bigfoot as a being superior to both humans and animals. Due to the fact that the sasquatch is over eight foot tall and walks upright, he is considered a giant. The indians of North America also thought of the sasquatch as a spirit animal that glides through the forest with its long legs. Early explorers along with Christopher
