Mermaids are incredibly popular images throughout European history. Appearing in fairytales, maps, novels, films, music, and heraldry. These creatures are both a realization of a deep human fantasy to join the fishes of the ocean as well as embodying beauty. But, of course, when an image is used over and over in a culture for…
California has plenty of Bigfoot museums to go around. Their legacy as the birthplace of the modern Bigfoot boom — along with California’s exuberance for the quirky — mean that the Golden State is very lucky to have multiple great Bigfoot museums. But if you aren’t in California and would like to visit a Bigfoot…
When it comes to Bigfoot museums, Californians have an embarrassment of riches. They have two great museums, one in the north and one near the bay area, along with access to known Bigfoot country.

A comprehensive list of Bigfoot sightings would take days to read and wouldn’t bring us any closer to knowing if the cryptid is real. The vast majority of sightings are not recorded in any way, and so one has to decide whether it’s fact or fiction based on trust. But there is a different kind…
There are many, many theories about Bigfoot. And the origins of the cryptid are still up for debate. We can adapt a certain saying and state: wherever there are two Bigfoot researchers, there are three theories of Bigfoot’s origins.
