Today's longread offers another look at a fringe group that holds fast to a belief despite a preponderance of contradictory evidence. It turns out there is an active scene of people searching to find bigfoot.

This is likely the case for many fringe groups -- it's not so much the belief that holds everyone together but rather the sense of connectedness and being part of a community.
