Some people believe in the existence of a large, "ape-like" (similar to a large primate or monkey) "creature" (living being) known as Bigfoot or "sasquatch." The creature "is thought to" (is believed to) be "bipedal" (with two legs) and able to walk "upright" (standing vertically, not crawling on the ground), similar a human, but covered with "fur" (hair on an animal's body) and bigger and much taller than an adult male human.

Many people have "claimed" (said that something is true) to have seen Bigfoot, especially in the "Pacific Northwest" (the northwestern part of the United States). Some people have "produced" (shown) photos and videos with "glimpses" (brief sightings) of Bigfoot, and others have produced "footprints" (the marks left in the ground after one steps on a soft surface) and "tufts of hair" (a small group of hairs that were torn from a body at the same time).

There is no scientific "proof" (evidence that something is true) for the existence of Bigfoot. Scientists have "debunked" (shown to be false) the claimed sightings. They have said that Bigfoot sightings are examples of "misidentification" (mistaking something for something else), "folklore" (stories that are passed down through generations), and "hoaxes" (attempts to trick or fool people).

"Nevertheless" (even though this is true), some people continue to believe that Bigfoot exists, and many others "hope" (wish for something to be true) that Bigfoot exists. They are "enthralled with" (fascinated by; very interested in) the mystery surrounding this forest creature, even if it is a "figment of their imagination" (something that one thinks about, but is "merely" (only) created and is not real).
