Semantics. Vol. 49, Issue 3, 1992, pp. 352-57. Bynum's article outlines the history of Bigfoot's folklore, sightings, mythology, and fictional exaggerations.

She has submitted the DNA for testing to many laboratories across the country, she also tested it herself. The results came back as modern human DNA, although many of the labs believe that the DNA did not come from the Bigfoot or that the samples were simply contaminated. Ketchum believes that the Bigfoot is a modern human being that suffers from a medical condition called hypertrichosis, which renders a person to grow hair all over their body.
