Wrong, there’s no Bigfoot. They’re feral humans, likely descendants of Cherokee and backwoods settlers.
I’m not even kidding, look up the case of Dennis Martin getting kidnapped in 1969. Or the rumor a bunch of spec ops soldiers were secretly brought in to hunt down these feral humans in Appalachia.
It makes complete sense. People don’t realize how huge the Appalachia area is, if you want to hide away from civilization, you totally can. Eric Rudolph was on the lam nearly a decade out there and only got caught bc he went back into town.
