You are an investigator and have been given the assignment to see if Bigfoot is real! Your case study includes all the information we know up to this point, including the first sighting of footprints by a construction crew in California, the famous Gimlin/Patterson footage, and even information obtained in a 2026 documentary about Bigfoot. As you work your way through the resources, your handbook reminds you about good investigative tools including the different kinds of evidence, the reliability of witness statements, and Occam's razor - a rule used by scientists to help find the truth. What do you think? Is Bigfoot real?
Oh wow! I learned so much about this Cryptid, and also about investigative processes. Fleming's info is right up to date - there's so much more than we knew in the 1950's and 60's - a whole Cryptid society and modern testing to examine evidence collected decades ago. Now I want to read Is it Real? The Loch Ness Monster. Kids who like real-life mysteries will devour this book.
