Bothell man says fossil proves existence of Bigfoot
BOTHELL, Wash. — A local man looking through another type of rock says he’s now got proof that Bigfoot, the Sasquatch, really exists.
But even a so-called Bigfoot fossil isn’t likely to convince everyone.

Bigfoot is big stuff around here. There’s even a Sasquatch exhibit at the Washington State History Museum where you’ll find footprints, pictures, Indian masks of either Sasquatch or someone who saw one, and one skeptical publicist for the exhibit.

“I came in skeptical and I (was) willing to be convinced, so I’m waiting for Sasquatch believers to come in and show me their evidence,” said Kim Adams of the museum.

There are those who say they’ve seen Sasquatch. Cliff Crook says he saw one back in 1956. I asked him why I should believe him.

“I don’t know, there’s no way I can prove it other than the fact there were three boys with me and they know what we saw,” he said.

Crook’s den is filled with memories of the 50’s, from movie posters to car photos. But the memory he can’t shake is Sasquatch. He’s been tracking Bigfoot for 56 years.

He found footprints on Mount Rainier in 1990. He found them near the Sauk River in Arlington. But he now has new proof: an imprint of a fossil from the Jurassic age he found on a river bed in Texas.

And that, Crook believes, is proof that Sasquatch existed then, and exists now.

“I think it’s proof,” he said.

Crook points to the angle of the toes on the imprint . There’s a noticeable absence of an arch, which Crook says is real proof.

But he also knows that some people are going to scoff, and call it “bull.”

For those skeptics, he has one word: “Nothing.”

“I don’t want to argue with them. I knew it would shake up a few scientists,” he said.

Crook says the only thing that will convince some that big foot exists is the body of a Sasquatch.

“I hope that never happens,” he said.
