Two men from Oregon died in Washington state while searching for Sasquatch. Their deaths were attributed to exposure due to harsh weather conditions and a lack of preparedness.
Two men died in Skamania County, Washington, while searching for Sasquatch , according to the county's sheriff's office. After a grueling, three-day search over difficult terrain and harsh weather conditions, the 59-year-old male and 37-year-old-male, both from Portland, Oregon, who were reported missing/endangered were located, deceased, in a heavily wooded area of the Gifford Pinchot National Forest, the Skamania County Sheriff's Office (SCSO) wrote in a Saturday post on Facebook.
The SCSO added: 'Both deaths appear to be due to exposure, based on weather conditions and ill-preparedness.' Newsweek has emailed the SCSO for additional comments on Sunday morning. The legend of Bigfoot, the so-called 'hairy giant' that stands 'seven to nine feet tall and weighs between 600 and 900 pounds,' according to the Unnatural Museum of History, has been around since reported North American sightings in the 1800s. Originally reported mostly in the Pacific Northwest and Canada, sightings of Bigfoot, also known by the Indian term 'Sasquatch' since Native American cultures include legends of an ape-like creature that traversed forests, have in fact occurred throughout America, including in the East. Such reported sightings, which continue today, have helped keep the legend of Bigfoot alive and well. Alleged Bigfoot sightings and stories of a large, ape-like creature aren't rare, although proof to back up the claims is usually nonexistent or limited at best. The Legend of Bigfoot Bigfoot is the North American version of the 'large hairy beast' cryptid that is present in many countries around the world. In the Himalayas there is the legend of the Yeti, in Brazil, the Mapinguari, and in the East-central Kenyan forests, the Chemosit. In order for the Bigfoot species to have lasted this long, there would have to have been several specimens in order for breeding to occur, and for inbreeding and low genetic diversity to be avoided
