Bigfoot (also known as Sasquatch) [2] [3] is a famous American legend and was known for its hairy ape-like appearance and giant feet.

History[]

Bigfoot accidentally stumbled through a time warp in the space-time continuum. It transported him to a cavern hidden by a waterfall, somewhere in rural New England. [4] [5] [6] Bigfoot made his way up river and stumbled upon a camp set up by the Ghostbusters.

Egon became aware that Bigfoot was not part of their dimension when he gave off odd P.K.E. readings, and the overhead weather began to produce strange activity and lightning storms. The atmospheric activity also gave off Cherenkov radiation, indicative of damage to the space-time continuum. [7] [8] Egon deduced Bigfoot was the nexus of these space-time disturbances. [9] The build-up of cosmic forces was disastrous and rapidly reaching critical levels. The Ghostbusters escorted Bigfoot back to the time warp and restored the cosmic balance. [10] [11]

Personality[]

Bigfoot was a very shy, timid creature. Even though he was intelligent enough to understand the human language, almost everything scared him. He also showed somewhat of a sweet tooth when Slimer lured him down from a tree with his candy bars and is the only entity, living or otherwise, who liked Janine's cooking. [12]

Abilities[]

Bigfoot was strong enough to knock down trees, pull himself up with five adult humans clung to him, and possessed the motor skills to climb at a rapid pace.

Even though he gave off strong, yet odd, P.K.E. readings, he had no paranormal powers and wasn't a ghost. [13]
