One day in 1924, five men who were camping in the Cascade Mountains saw a group of huge apelike creatures coming out of the woods. They hurried back to their wooden house and locked themselves inside. While they were in, the creatures threw rocks against the house. Several hours later these strange hairy giants went back into the woods.
After the men returned to the town and told the people about their adventure,       . These were the people who remembered hearing tales about footprints of an animal that walked like a human being.
The five men, however, were not the first to have seen these creatures called Bigfoot. Long before their experience, the local Native Americans were certain that a group of apelike animals had been living in the neighboring mountain for centuries.
In 1958, some workers, who were building a road through the jungles of Northern California, often found huge footprints in the earth around their camp. Then in 1967, Roger Patterson, a man who was interested in finding Bigfoot, went into the same jungles with a friend. While riding, they were suddenly thrown off from their horses. Patterson saw a tall apelike animal standing not far away. He managed to take photos of the hairy creature before it disappeared in the jungles. When Patterson’s photos were shown to the public, not many people believed his story.
Richard Brown, an experienced hunter, discovered a similar creature. He saw the animal clearly through the telescopic lens (望远镜头) of his rifle (步枪). He said the creature looked more like a human being than an animal.
Later many other people also found deep footprints in the same area. In spite of regular reports of sightings and footprints, most experts still do not believe that Bigfoot really exists (存在).
