Chron.com | UT exhibit takes a serious look at Bigfoot: "SAN ANTONIO - Sure, there's the Bigfoot conference in the East Texas town of Jefferson each October, and that's where a permanent Bigfoot museum is envisioned.
But here at the University of Texas at San Antonio's Institute of Texan Cultures, an exhibit and lecture series called 'Bigfoot in Texas?' is lending long-sought credibility to a scientific inquiry that has struggled to gain academic respect.
Viewed by many scholars as a figment of folklore, for others Bigfoot is an elusive creature hiding in the damp woods of East Texas, where scores of sightings have been logged over the years.
Giant footprint casts, photographs, videos and other artifacts are offered as evidence in the exhibit, which opened April 8 and ends July 30. Items and information including eyewitness accounts were provided by the Texas Bigfoot Research Center and other private investigators who pounced on the institute's invitation to assemble the displays."
