Some call it the Yeti or Sasquatch, but it’s best known as Bigfoot. And some residents in Whitehall, New York say they have seen it first hand.
The town of Whitehall, New York is known for its undying interest in the unknown – Bigfoot. Whitehall has been the subject of a number of documentaries focusing on Bigfoot’s presence in the town and the entire Northeast.
“This is a global phenomena and it’s right in our backyard,” said Paul Bartholomew, paranormal researcher.
Bartholomew studies the Bigfoot phenomena, which dates back to ancient times around the world and the 1800’s in Whitehall. He says residents and law enforcement in the area have seen the creature, but the stigma and ridicule received upon saying so has hindered others.
“I think it’s something we should acknowledge and recognize, in that when someone has a sighting, they should be able to come forward with their sighting and not have to hide their sighting,” said Bartholomew.
