It's the same with the loch ness monster, the famous 'surgeon's photo' has long since been admitted as a fake, yet people still believe it to be proof. Granted, as with bigfoot that's not the ONLY ever sighting, but it's the one that cements the story as believable to most people.

I’ve never felt the same community of believers exists around “Nessie”, probably because the myth is so tightly linked to one specific location.

Bigfoot’s big marketing advantage is that he could be living in any forest, anywhere, greatly increasing the total addressable market for believers.
