The size of the skull indicates a being that was twice the size of a male gorilla and would compare favorably with reports of the North American Bigfoot.
Some people believe in Bigfoot.
Some aren't sure what might be tramping around California's backcountry. The existence of the critter has never been proven to the satisfaction of scientists. Neither has it been disproved. Bigfoot goes back a long way in Willow Creek, an old Gold Rush town about 300 miles north of San Francisco. Tracks were reported in 1958 at Bluff Creek, a remote spot about 50 miles north.
