Everyone has heard stories of the Bigfoot or also known as Sasquatch by the Native Americans, the hairy ape like.. bi-ped creature, that supposedly roams the woods, predominantly around the Pacific Northwest of the United States & Canada. Most cultures have accounts of human-like giants in their folk history, expressing a need for "some larger-than-life creature", each language even had its own name for the creature, and many of the names translated back to "wild man" or "hairy man". But while the Native Americans of the Pacific Northwest and many others have added Bigfoot to their American Bestiary, one within the deep Alabama woods, is by far different from the others. Residents in Northern and Central Alabama have reported seeing a creature roaming the dense woods & neighborhoods, these reports stated it was a giant, hairy monster covered in white fur, which ultimately gave the beast its name .."The Alabama White Thang".
