Hairy beast in North American folklore also called Bigfoot (9)

I believe the answer is:

(Other definitions for sasquatch that I've seen before include "Mythical creature" , "Bigfoot" , "Hairy, man-like beast of Canadian folklore" , "Action of twisting" , "monster" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
