Bigfoot swore he saw me, but nobody believed him.
They must be immortal. I never heard of anybody finding the body of a dead one.
The night of the cheeseburger screams.
I opened up all the vents and windows on the camper while cooking supper. There was a strong smell of burgers with bacon going out. This scream is so intense there's no way it's an owl. I heard bobcats scream before. They say they live in family groups. They use watchers who stay up while the family sleeps. I figure it's a watcher that's up on the mountain above my camp. I figure the family is in a hidden valley we're my son seen something reddish cross the road. We must remember not many hunters there who walk, mainly road hunters who don't go thru the old loop they go past my camp to the forest gate and turn around.

On the off-chance that among all the jokers here someone might want to read up some reasonably serious stuff on the Sasquatch: 
There are actually a few books worth checking out.
The late Grover Krantz, a professor at Washington State, actually roamed the woods up here with a rifle hoping to settle the debate by shooting one, which made him, needless to say, "controversial". His book "Big Footprints" (1992) is a nice summary of his research and well-documented.
His work has been taken up by Jeff Meldrum, at Idaho State. His book "Sasquatch: Legend meets Science" (2007) is also worth reading.
Finally there is a much older book by the British anthropologist John Napier, from the 1970s. It's very dated, but interesting in that he looks at both Yeti and Sasquatch.

Wow...It sure is easy to be sure about NO !! ...... But you have to know that you don't know what you don't know.
Coelacanths were thought to be extinct until a live one was caught in 1938. Coelacanths were known only from fossils until a live Latimeria chalumnae was discovered off the coast of South Africa in 1938. Until then, they were presumed to have gone extinct in the late Cretaceous period, over 65 million years ago.
However, when someone finally shoots a bf. I expect the "bf" will actually be some homosapien joker who got himself turned into hoax-toast. The next one might be the real deal.

I'd have to dig out my copy, which I found in a bookshop in London ca. 1975. It was actually my introduction to the North American version of Bigfoot; I'd ever only heard of the Yeti.
If I remember correctly, Napier came to the conclusion that the Yeti legend goes back to the now-extinct orang-utan population of the Himalayan foothills, but that the physical evidence from North America is much harder to explain.
So regarding your question, maybe bananas?

Actually I'm quite open to the possibility that Bigfoot, Yeti, the Skunk Ape, etc., could exist, especially the first two. I also have no problem accepting the existence of ghosts or haunted sites, and some of that is based on experiences I can't explain otherwise.
Even in this information age, "There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy."
That's my favorite quotation from Shakespeare for good reason.

Looks like we have a civil discussion about Bigfoot.
They said they killed every mountainlions in the northeast. We were hunting up in the green mountains were no hunters go. We were way up.
I came across a sow and her cub tracks in three inches of snow. Behind the bears tracks were large mountainlions tracks. Extinct? I took pics next to a pack of cigarettes to show the relationship of size. I sent them to a tracker and he confirmed it's a mountainlions. So there in the higher elevations in the green mountains. Fast forward a decade later while driving near my camp at night we caught a mountainlions going into the tall grass. The next morning while my son was gassing up the bikes the mountainlions was up on the ridge above us growling. I came out and it seen the two of us and left never to be heard again. How can they say there extinct. Millions of acres and they can say they killed them all. As there multiplying there coming off the mountain not the valleys to feed.
As bf multiplies I'm sure more encounters and sighting will occur. They say they migrate using rivers and highways.
The only thing we need to do is navigate through the hoaxes. What's real and what's fake. There's a lot of stuff we don't understand yet.
Hecklers scare people away from posting, we lose facts on connecting the dots.

Bill—this makes me wonder if the screams you are hearing are not Mountain Lions? We heard the same song and dance from Game and Fish here in Arkansas—"they have been wiped out of AR," "there is not enough habitat to support them," etc. Hunters, trappers, soccer moms were reporting seeing them in various parts of the state. The were roundly horse-laughed and mocked. "Those were house cats, bob-cats, you have been drinking, what's in that tumbler in your console, what's that you have been smoking?"
Then a soccer mom hit one—like I saw Muss postulated would happen with Big Foot if he existed—in one of these threads. Then they started popping up on trail cams! Then the game and fish had to backtrack.
Arkansas has a long history with the big foot/yeti phenomenon. A small town in South East Arkansas (Fouke) had a string of sightings and a movie was actually made about the sightings. The Legend of Boggy Creek. It was a drive-in type movie—I went on my first date to it—designed to make your girl sit close to you! It is actually quite good and morphed into sort of protect and cherish wild things and that which e don't understand.
The move is also amazing in that it was made for $160,000 and has grossed over $20 million—which is quite a return I understand in the movie business (or any other business for that matter)! It was the 10th highest-grossing film of 1972.
It was springboard for other films like The Blair Witch Project that used that documentary style format on an extremely low budget.
Who knows what is out there in our mountains, woods and swamps.

I think my favorite bf story came from the mountains north west of Fort Collins.Woman claimed she saw something chasing deer on a hillside opposite her cabin.Upon glassing it was a Bigfoot catching dinner.
I've never seen,heard nor smelt one,but I do enjoy looking out for em and hearing the stories

I, my wife and 2 sons were living on a remote farm.
One nite around 11 PM directly behind the house screaming started. It was like the combination of a woman, large cat and a mule. It took place in a cedar thicket up on a hill. I ran outside on the porch to see what was going on. I could also here the sound of trees cracking or thrashing
The screaming kept up for approximately 1 1/2 hrs.
The house itself sat on a bench, surrounded by ridges or in a bowl so to speak. What ever was making the screams and growls , did so while circling the house on the ridges.
After standing on the porch for a few minutes {the whole time my wife was begging me to comeback in) I went back in the house. Alls I had was a single shot 20ga shotgun., which I loaded.
This is from the BFRO site which is a report I made. Incident happened in mid 90's
They do exist.

Good, sooner or later, somebody will hit one with a minivan or propeller. What would be causing the multiplication of bf now? Seems like they've had centuries, and with no apparent natural predators, they oughta be ruling us by now . . .
Hard to argue with . . .
One would think that by now you could walk across Loch Ness on the backs of all Nessie's offspring.
