Actually, with bigfoot (and by that Im referring to the general Sasquatch/Yeti/Skunk ape proto-myth) there is a ton of testimonial evidence going back centuries.
Perhaps, but I think it's more likely that what goes back centuries, is man's active imagination, which kicks into high gear when he sees "something" that isn't immediately recognized as common in his mind. Due to low lighting, profile presented, rarity of animal sighting in that area, viewing angle, etc.

"Perhaps, but I think it's more likely that what goes back centuries, is man's active imagination...Due to low lighting, profile presented, rarity of animal sighting in that area, viewing angle, etc." As I said, many can be dismissed out of hand or with minimal follow up. There are; however, those sightings from experienced outdoorsmen, trappers, sherpas, etc. who have spent their lifetimes in the wilds and frequently use phraseology such as, "unlike anything I've ever seen." Again, I'm not going to argue the theory that vociferously as I generally don't believe, but as long as there is one credible sighting that can not be explained, I will continue to find it more credible than anthropogenic global warming.
