By the way, you dont need physical evidence to study something like hair or footprints. Maybe just by reading reports you could draw your own conclusion as to what you think it is, or discover something someone may have missed or that you haven't heard of that helps prove or disprove a theory.

not very debatable until evidence that isn't falsifiable is offered. Until then it is just talking about bigfoot - which really doesn't qualify as a theory. In case you aren't certain, theory, in a scientific context, doesn't mean guess (or even the more common educated guess).
For a creature such as bigfoot to be proven to exist you do indeed need physical evidence. In fact, that is the only acceptable kind.
And the fact that hundreds of people (hell i'll spot you thousands of people) believe in something hardly makes it true or even possible.
There was a time when most people believed the Sun went around the Earth. Today millions of people are Muslim, millions are Christian, millions are Jewish, millions are Hindu, millions are buddhists (I didn't capitalize cause they won't mind), and millions are atheists .... they can't all be right, right?
something to think about anyway...
