VANCOUVER, British Columbia - Whether you are a veteran Sasquatch seeker or novice, there is something for everyone here at the Vancouver Museum's temporary exhibit ``Sasquatch!"
The exhibit isn't spread over a large space but you easily can spend an hour or two looking at paraphernalia such as late explorer Rene Dahinden's gear, including his trademark jacket and pipe.
Read numerous eyewitness accounts and watch the legendary Patterson-Gimlin footage of a Bigfoot striding through a deserted logging camp - the creature looks back when it notices the men filming.
This footage is the most widely examined Sasquatch evidence available and the jury is out on whether it is real. The exhibit also features a scale model of the ``event," depicted in the film as well as an enlarged frame-by-frame display.
On display as well are a limited edition Yeti (or Abominable Snowman) print done by wildlife artist Robert Bateman, based on eyewitness accounts; sculptures; native artwork depicting the ``naxnox"; and statements from tribal elders.
Even if you aren't a believer, you can't avoid being creeped out by the guttural Sasquatch cries, screams and moans incessantly played over the exhibit's speaker system.
``Sasquatch!" is here until February.
