Chewbacca?
Chupacabra is the correct spelling. Talking about them here would hijack the thread.

Maybe Santa knows since he's flown all over the world.
Isn't it "Flewn" all over the world?

I've seen a photo of a very large monkey or ape shot deep within Amazonia maybe 75 years ago. It was never identified, but the photo shows it to be as large as a man.
It attacked a member of an expedition and was shot. The body was being held up by two tall men.

I'm a believer -- too many reputable folks having credible sightings for too many years. I reckon there have been any number of hoaxes as well, but an awful lot of sightings have been recorded. The BFRO site is a fantastic resource if you're interested in reading up on these things.

Scientists and physisists are now saying there may be 11 dimensions, not the 3 we know. So, who's to say. The most amazing thing I read was a well-known gun writer who was in a tree stand, deer grazing around, when he heard rustling leaves and watched footprints on the ground as the deer lifted their heads and followed something walking by. Unusual, yes, surprising, hell no. And we think we know everything. Not by a long shot, friends. We're stupid in Gods world!

As long as ol' big foot doesn't scare off the grouse or deer I'm
hunting I will maintain my current position on the existence of said
gigantic critters.
I don't know and I don't care.

Bigfoot:

Spelling:
Why is it that Shakespere could spell words anyway he pleased, (as in divers manners) and he's a genius. I get one wrong and I'm a grammer felon?"

I must get into this thread. Attached is a photo I got last summer on my game camera. The picture was totally black until I used the fix button to raise the brightness almost all the way. I have seen many gillie suits, but most are 2 piece. In fact, after seeing this photo, I looked up as man suits as I could to try to find one like it. I do see what appears to be a belt on the subject, but the hair does flow all the way to the ground. No flashlight is being used or it would have shown up on the original photo. This is not something I made up for fun. If you guys/gals have any suggestions, go ahead. Not a bigfoot I'm sure, but what else. I would think the hair was brown or black since it took so much brightness to bring it up. Sorry, I don't know the time since I didn't set it. I just wanted to see the deer passing by at the creek behind the house. No, I haven't put the camera back...don't want to know anymore..haha.

I always enjoy reading reports etc. on this subject and try to keep an open mind.When in USAF I was stationed at Paine Field above Seattle.I always checked out the countryside in case I might have "to get out and walk",and I can assure you that only a few miles out of town that was the thickest most uninhabited area you will see.You could hide Hanibal and all his elephants in those mountains.Incidentally I stumbled across one of the earliest reports of a Bigfoot attack in Florida in 1826.It was a very interesting account.How should we react if we did see one?

The scary movie topic got me in mind of, "The Legend of Boggy Creek", a semi-documentary about a supposedly real Bigfoot that terrorized an area in East Texas. One victim of it was treated at a Texarkana hospital and some girls testified that it tried to get at them in a house trailer. Some very experienced hunting dogs that'd trail bears were afraid of it and refused to trail it.
I've read about these creatures for decades and the most compelling evidence, apart from eyewitness testimony from reliable observers is twofold: One, an Army CID lab examined a hair supposedly left by one and concluded that it was not from any known animal, certainly not from the US Pacific NW . Two: Some of the best tracks are so anatomically detailed and correct that a professional scientist said they'd probably be impossible to fake. And the proportions (different from humans) are right in line with what'd be expected of a heavy primate about nine feet tall.
Personally, I pretty much think they're real. The chimpanzee, the gorilla, and the okapi were all thought to be mythical until quite recent times. (Late 19th to early 20th Century.) Stories of tribal peoples in Asia and North America have described these animals for centuries; they aren't a recent hoax, and descriptions from widely seperated peoples are very similar. One young one was supposedly put aboard a Canadian train to be taken to a zoo and examined, but escaped.
I largely doubt the legend of the Nandi "bear", but I think the Bigfoot/Sasquatch is probably real.The comments about those detailed footprints was the clencher. It would indeed be almost impossible to duplicate/fake the whorls and ridges in the prints in mud just right to retain sharp impressions. And doing that would take a specialized primate anatomist to begin with. The prints are not just big human ones; the anatomy is different and just what a scientist familiar with primates of that size would expect. The hair examined by the CID is also strong evidence, as well as the more reliable sightings.
I'm sure this topic will draw the usual wiseacres, but try to be objective and realistic. Do you believe in Bigfoot, and why or why not?
BTW, I think the Nandi bear is probably a large hyena or solitary baboon seen at dusk or in other poor light. Supposedly, European settlers saw it as well as Nandi tribesmen in western Kenya in colonial days. You can Search for more info. It's pretty interesting.
I don't want to get into the Loch Ness and other lake monsters in this topic. They deserve a thread of their own.
Beware: if some of you spell like you often do, I'm going to take that as evidence that you may be Bigfoot and will send researchers to your homes.
I think the whole concept is very interesting.
You would think with all the trail cameras, heat sensing instruments and hi tech listening devices, we would have conclusive proof by now.
So much technology is available.
Yet no absolute proof.
Still the question lingers.

No, but I used to smoke.
That is terrible!
As for chances of Bigfoot's existence being greater that those of Chevy Chase being funny, the chances of my eating an anvil are greater.
I was interested to learn that some soils degrade bones.
I like the fact that a few serious scientists, with credentials greater than a title of "cryptobiologist", are very carefully investigating this.
I have some fear that one day a hunter will encounter a Sasquatch and immediately kill it without provocation. It would answer a lot of questions, but if these beings are intelligent enough to elude us and do some of the things ascribed to them...

I consider myself to be a believer in possibilities.
Do Bigfoot, UFOs, Nessie, ghosts and such exist?
I have no idea.
But I like to thinks its possable.

I dunno about u guys, but I can promise u there is something weird down here in the swamps of South Louisiana.
The problem is i cant ever catch the dang thing on my trail cameras. I can catch just about any animal on them, but not the mysterious big foot. We once even caught a panther on the trail cam. Panthers are pretty rare around these parts, but i guess not as rare as big foot =-)
What about Chupacabra? Another mysterious one.
