A West Virginia resident claims to have found traces of the existence of a bigfoot on a dirty piece of land in Ritchie County.

Chuck Headley posted photos of a large five-toed footprint in the Bigfoot Believers group on Facebook, which caused heated debate among its members.

A mysterious fingerprint discovered in Ritchie County, West Virginia, had the outlines of five short toes and seemed to indicate that the beast had emerged from a small body of water.

However, not everyone was impressed by Hadley's discovery. Some users of the Facebook group wondered why there was only one trace left and no other signs of the creature's presence.

They suggested that the trail could have been left by another animal or even faked by someone.

"Why is there only one print?" one user wrote it. "Why is there always only ONE trace left? What? A bigfoot jumps on only one leg and then lands a mile away?

Original news

A West Virginia man claims to have found evidence of Bigfoot in a muddy patch of land in Ritchie County.

Chuck Headley posted photos of a large five-toed footprint on the Bigfoot Believers Facebook group, sparking a heated debate among the members.

The mysterious print, which was spotted in Ritchie County, West Virginia, had the outline of five stumpy toes and seemed to show that the beast had strolled out of a small body of water.

However, not everyone was impressed by Headley’s discovery. Some users on the Facebook group questioned why there was only one footprint and no other signs of the creature’s presence.

They suggested that the footprint could have been made by another animal or even faked by someone.

“Why only one print?” one user wrote. “Why is there always only ONE footprint? What? Bigfoot only hops on one foot then lands a mile away?”

The global fascination with Bigfoot dates back to 1967, when footage emerged in the Six Rivers National Forest.

The renowned “Patterson-Gimlin” footage, a three-minute, grainy clip, showcased a hairy creature moving through the woods, marking the purported first-ever filming of Bigfoot by adventurers Roger Patterson and Bob Gimlin.

Despite the intrigue surrounding Bigfoot, experts generally dismiss claims of its existence as lacking credibility. The prevailing consensus among specialists is that belief in the existence of this large, ape-like creature is more likely a result of hoaxes or confusion rather than legitimate sightings of an actual creature.

Famous creatures

There are a huge number of different living organisms on our planet. According to recent estimates, the number of species of organisms on our planet is approximately 7-10 million. However, only 15% of the data are described today.

According to the calculations of Canadians, 2.2 million species live in the world's oceans, 6.5 million on land. There are only about 7.8 million species of animals on the planet, 611 thousand fungi, and 300 thousand plants.

Deliberate falsification

This version includes any falsifications that imitate unexplained phenomena both from the outside: practical jokes, flash mobs, fake news, witness fraud, staging, etc.

There are many ways to make something similar to a ghost or a flying saucer from improvised materials, without using video and photomontage.

Many homemade things made for the sake of a joke, a practical joke or a direct imitation of a mystical being or event can be taken as unexplained not only in photos and videos, but also in reality.
