Sightings and Eye Witness Accounts
Some Bigfoot researchers cite American  Indian traditions as the first recorded sightings of human-like hairy bipeds.

The first recorded sighting occurred in
1870 and was reported in the California newspaper "Antioch Ledger".

The newspaper correspondent reported that he had witnessed a "gorilla,  or wild man, or whatever you choose to call it 
in the bush. Its head appeared to be set on the creature’s shoulder without a neck".
The next report came out 30 years
later in 1901. 
A lumberjack on Vancouver Island, was trekking alone because his Indian helpers had refused to accompany him due to their fear of the resident ‘monkey men’. 

While walking through the woods, the
lumberjack spotted a ‘man beast’
washing near a river. It was described
as being colored in reddish-brown hair
with particularly long arms.

After the creature spotted him and fled, the lumberjack examined the footprints
and noted that they were particularly
human-like with the exception of their
extremely large size.
 

Evidence
Looking at the evidence collected over the years, the Patterson film, casts, and eye witness accounts, all proof of the existance of an ape-like creature which walks the Pacific Northwest.
