Bigfoot spotted in Yukon: 9 people claim to see giant creature in backyard-(he's ba-a-a-akk!)

The legendary creature "Bigfoot" has been spotted again, this time in Canada, where nine people in the Yukon community of Teslin claim to have seen the legendary creature.

According to the CBC, the witnesses, some of whom are children, saw the hairy, human-like creature pass in front of a house window, and then later behind an abandoned car near some houses last weekend.

Those who claim to have seen Bigfoot, which is also known as a sasquatch, said they heard trees snapping and creaking despite the lack of wind at the time. They say the figure was running too quickly for them to keep up with it.

"He ran through the backyard, and that's when I seen him," said one man who was on his porch at the time. "You could see a big, black thing go by, and you couldn't see no head or nothing. So, I figured it was somebody messing around."

"We weren't gonna tell anybody at first 'cause we thought everybody was gonna look at us and say we're all snakin' out or we're crazy," said another eyewitness. "It wasn't too much fun explaining it at first, but once everybody starts believing us, it's not so bad. They wanted to see the track, they wanted to see the pictures, they wanted to see the hair and stuff like that. ... I wouldn't want to run into him in a dark, back alley or anything like that. Geez, it stands over ten feet tall, [it would] proabably tear my head off or something."

The men said some evidence was left, including a footprint about twice the size of a human print, and a patch of hair which has already been sent to a conservation officer in Whitehorse for possible DNA review.

Seventeen Reasons Why Bigfoot Might Be Real:

1. Jane Goodall is a believer.
2. 30 or more policemen have reported seeing a Bigfoot.
3. Over 1500 good-quality sightings have been reported.
4. Sightings go back 200 years-Native Americans' further.
5. Certain creature-characteristics would make hoaxing difficult, e.g.: Height (often 8 feet!), Girth, Stride, Weight, & Stench. No hoaxers of 8-foot Bigfeet have come forward with suits.
6. Hoaxing of many footprints in remote locations is unlikely.
7. Feet: longitudinal dermal ridges & subtly non-human features.
8. 33 positron emission profiles of Chinese Wildman hairs match one another, but don't match any known animal's.
9. 25 hair analyses = "unknown animal" or "… primate."
10. Expert DNA analysis of Yeti-hair root: "unknown animal."
11. Piles of human-shaped but gigantic poop have been found.
12. Twisted trees & branches + BF heard limb-snapping.
13. There's no convincing imitation of the ape in Patterson's film.
14. Dogs often fear the scent of Bigfoot, when brought to a site.
15. 1000's of borderline encounters reported: unusual sounds, stenches, rocks thrown, "beds" found, strange "kills."
16. Audiotapes of Bigfoot calls have withstood sound-expert analysis & been endorsed by those who've heard Bigfoot.
17. Variance of footprint lengths to widths = bell-shaped curve.
