BIGFOOT, what have you seen or know

[Denverd0n]

I get a good laugh out of the people who will STILL point to the Patterson video as proof that bigfoot exists. Hello! Patterson himself, just before he died, admitted that it was a fake. But people still believe it's real. SHEESH!

And let's not forget that there cannot be just one bigfoot here, and one bigfoot there. There has to be a breeding population. There has to be enough of them around for them mate, and maintain some genetic diversity.

As others have said, if there were that many of them out there, there would be remains. There would be SOMETHING more than just blurry pictures that look more like a man in a gorilla suit than they do like anything else.

Nope. I'm just not havin' it. I remain willing to be convinced, but so far I have seen nothing that is even remotely convincing.

There are actual videos as well as a dead body from a chupacabra. They were once thought to be a myth

The Patterson film to me never looked real. And I want it to be real. The creature keeps looking back at camera and just kinda moves like a man. Gimblin is still making the rounds proclaiming it’s real.
I’ve been in some pretty remote places. Northern Ontario. Appalachian Mountains. Adirondack Mountains. Even the Allegheny Mountains NYs southern tier. I’m sure something could exist in these areas and never be seen. I’m sure there are areas that man has never set foot.

Having grown up hunting elk in dark timber in Colorado, I have been more lost than Lewis & Clark on several occasions. Just when I realize that I am walking where no man had ever walked and nobody would ever find my body, I kick up a beer can.

I spoke earlier of unusual tracks I saw as a kid. Granted it was 55 years ago but they still don't make sense.
Now let's talk of my adult experience as a mountain biker and railroader in remote areas.
MT bikes move silent and fast. I have come up on and surprised bear, bob cats, cougar, had near wrecks with bolting deer, stopped in the middle of a wild turkey and her chicks, etc. etc.
For whatever reason wild animals aren't bothered by trains. I assume because they don't stop and bother them??? For sure how long they are and how steady they move messes with depth perception.
I've hit bear, cougar, lynx, geese, deer, elk, etc. etc. I've seen a doe chasing a coyote with her fawn in its mouth for a mile.
One incident involved the DNR trying to investigate the disappearance of almost an entire elk population. They were winter killed by trains but no one other than train crews knew that.
I'll stop here. My point is both of those activities in remote areas see things most don't. No one credible in those communities has claimed a sasquatch sighting.

I spent most all my summers in the woods in Crawford County, PA, and never saw one. Now, since I’m all old n’at, I have my trusty Weimaraner Angel to keep the’squatch away. Right, puppy dog? Angel? Danged squirrels!

. The long list of credible people who have seen bigfoot, UFO's etc. makes me think there is something to the lore, but logic tells me that evidence should exist if it is real.

UFO's? Never seen one up close. I have however seen lights in the sky that defy physics. Satellites don't make sudden right turns. My brother-in-law saw one in Skagit Valley up close. No reason to doubt him. My Mom, Dad, and the Lovely Mrs. A10 saw a formation flight above the Wenatchee Valley. There's more going on than we understand.

Bigfoot is out there but never seen!

 

[llowry61]

I think Hedberg got it right.

The one time I thought I saw a UFO it ended up being star link, which was pretty impressive. Looked like a lit chain moving across the sky. I got all excited and pointed it out to my wife who promptly crushed my hopes by calmly stating it was star link.

Mountain Gorillas weren't discovered as species until 1902.


Jane Goodall, the gorilla researcher, believes Sasquatch is a possibility.

For a number of years I lived in the Oregon high desert in central Oregon. While there I'm certain I learned the origin of a lot of the Big Foot stories. In that part of the world it isn't unusual to get a lot of snow and since the temperature remains below freezing for long periods of time, The Snow Never Melts...it evaporates. And, it evaporates edge first. So, if you write your name in the snow it will just get bigger and bigger. More importantly for this discussion, so will foot prints.

I was out wandering around in the BLM one day and came upon some enormous foot prints. Fully 1 1/2 feet long. I knew it wasn't Big Foot because he was wearing Danner boots. None the less, I decided to track him down. After several miles of wandering, the tracks led to My Back Door. I was following me! My footprints had doubled in size in the few weeks they had been lying on the desert floor.

YES, there are Bigfoots !
I once dated one for a short time. She broke up with me because I would not help Her frighten campers and hunters.

On Ancient Aliens they explained why remains have never been found. Bigfeets are aliens and when one dies, if they die, they get taken back aboard the space ship. They are shape shifters also.

I've spent my share of time in the woods, as a child and as an adult. I was taught early on how to deal with big cats and bears which were a common occurrence but rarely a threat, the main thing is if you spend any time at all in the deep forest you are going to hear things that take a knowledgeable explanation. My granddad was noted for being able to scream like a Cougar, well enough to raise the hair on the back of your neck and get the horses real excited, not to mention send the cows to the barn in a good hurry.
I do remember one late night while camping alone at a remote yet accessible by road lake. Just as I was dozing off I heard a noise that I had never heard before that sounded like a cross between a cougar and that weird call coyotes make when they are trying to lure a dog out into the dark.
I met a guy once that claimed to have worked with the National Geographic Society going around the country checking out Sasquatch sitings, he worked with some high ranking scientists whose names sounded vaguely familiar. I asked him what he thought about it, he told me that although he never saw any real visible sign of Sasquatch he went over to the West side of Washington State near Olympia once to talk to an old couple that had made a report just that morning. Listening to their story and being able to see where something with a long stride had walked up over a grassy hill behind their place where the dew had just burned off left him feeling about 90% believing their story, both folks gave the same story and were seasoned settlers having lived in the area their entire lives.
It does seem a little odd that with all the modern camera equipment and people packing cell phones everywhere that there is never a picture or video worth watching that is believable. I don't believe in the supernatural (ghosties and such), I believe alien life on earth to be possible but remote and find myself wanting to believe in Sasquatch but just have to put it somewhere between ghosties and aliens. Ever time I think I am going through a "haunting" experience I have been able to disprove it by finding the source of the noise, like a flapper on an old furnace or something, where others thought for sure it was some long lost dead family member trying to communicate. Go back to sleep Karen, its just the air flapper on the old furnace bouncing against stove pipe.

Absent Comrade BigBill lived for these threads. He was a true believer that swore they stole cheeseburgers off his grill.

Big Bill also acknowledged serious chemical dependency struggles.

I hope he is at peace now.

One would think with all the forest fires, mud slides, and quakes, there would be herds of bigfeet running downhill or sliding downhill for the coastal area's....just more proof that the water in California is tainted and those people just are not normal.

Don't worry Dad, I gots this !
