Why the persistent stories of Bigfoot?

Why has there been persistent stories of an elusive bipedal primate here in North America?

There has been persistent stories through many different types of sources about a walking, hairy Bigfoot something here in North America for more than 400 years.  The idea of this being perpetuated by uneducated and superstitious folks is actually more of a myth than anything else in regard to the Bigfoot phenomena.  About a third of the reports come from rangers, policemen, firemen, biologists, scientists, teachers and other educated people.  The details of many of these reports refute the idea of a vague or mystical being seen.  

These persistent similarities are consistent throughout the 400 plus years all over North America.  Which when you factor in the perceived perception that this is a west coast region phenomena, is pretty amazing.  Regardless of this perception, the reality garnered from the reports and stories actually point to a wide spread North American phenomena.  That reality is what surprises most people.

Sometimes it is the little details reported that make a major impact on re-enforces the reality that there is a bipedal primate in the woods and forests of North America.  One small detail that points to their reality is one seen swaying from one foot to the other while standing and watching.  This small detail of movement seen may not seem to mean much but it is one more detail seen and noted by many.   Another small detail reported by many is the lack of neck seen.  This small detail has been consistently reported by many.

The main reason we will continue to get persistent stories of the elusive bipedal primate because in reality it is a living, breathing species living in our woods and forest here in North America.  That is why we will continue to get stories of Bigfoot regardless of the perception of our society and the science community.
