Bigfoot is real. That’s according to a group of Colorado researchers who say they have hard evidence proving its existence. Researcher Dave Paulides is convinced the reality of Bigfoot isn’t as fuzzy as the photos from people who claim to have seen the mythological creature. “This DNA is like nothing else in the world,” Paulides said.
