There is no believable evidence for the existence of Bigfoot or to put it another way, there's really quite a lot of evidence, but unfortunately it's of very poor quality. That's a problem for Bigfoot-believers, because if the creature really does exist, then it must exist in fairly big numbers. Otherwise, it would long ago have died out.

   “Not a single dead body has been found,” said Joe Nickell. “While we can't prove Bigfoot doesn't exist, it's fair to point out that we can't prove that the tooth fairy doesn't exist. We can't prove that there are no leprechauns(小妖精).”

    The Bigfoot myth is fueled by human hopes and fears. In that manner it is similar to other myths.

   “We are hopeful that we are not alone in the universe, so we believe in extraterrestrials (外星人),” Joe Nickell said. “We are fearful of the unknown, so we imagine monsters (妖怪).”

    Woolheater, of the Texas Bigfoot Research Center, agreed that there are “a whole lot of questions and not many answers”.

   “What we're trying to do is get some answers and gather hard evidence. I think we're dealing with an animal that is fairly rare,” Woolheater added. “So you're talking about something that is probably a hundred times rarer than a black bear, and certainly a lot more rare than a mountain lion, and those animals aren't seen all that often.”

    Meanwhile, the Institute of Texan Cultures is taking a democratic(民主的) approach. The final part of the exhibition gives visitors a chance to vote on whether or not they believe the evidence. On the first day, “yes” outweighed “no” by 178 to 53.
