When you’re a Bigfoot believer in Washington state — for some, the epicenter for the creature — you don’t get discouraged.

Not even by this summer’s scientific results that sparked headlines like, “DNA analysis indicates Bigfoot may be a big fake.”

It turned out that this region was a major contributor of hair samples to the study done at the University of Oxford, hairs thought to come from the elusive being.

Washingtonians sent in half of the 20-some samples from the U.S.; there were a total of 57 samples worldwide from alleged yetis and others, and 30 were found good enough to test.

After two years of work, out came the results in July, published in the prestigious Proceedings of the Royal Society B (“B” for biological sciences).

The hairs were from raccoons, horses, bears, cows, wolves — not some unknown mammal.

But try shaking the belief of Bigfoot believers. Not going to happen.

Their stories are of having seen one, heard one, had one surreptitiously move things around their campsite while they slept. They know it lives.

Bigfoot is NOT a terrestrial creature, which is why no bones or other remains have ever been found, nor ever will be found. To read more, click here.
