Bigfoot, or Sasquatch, is a large, hairy ape-like creature said to dwell in the deep forests of North America, and the best-known of modern cryptids. Footprints and blurry photographs and films are reported again and again, yet conclusive proof always slips out of reach.
As a being that forever stays at the edge of sight, it is a form of the uncanny that sustains its dread precisely by never being clearly observed.
