Latest Bigfoot "evidence"

If a Native American has to put on a stereotypical NA Braided wig, to make himself look more 'Indian Guide' for a movie, he is still an actor.

Native American Wigs, such as these, if worn by Native Americans are still wigs.

Nah, he was just wearing the wig because he's descended from a NA tribe... Cos that's how life works, I myself have been known to don a "Scouse" permed wig from time to time, along with a tartan kilt, just to brush up on my roots. This is just what people do in real life.

Wild Beast Brewery began as a dream, the dream of one Squatch determined to make the finest wild berry liquor in the traditional style. Like many small business owners, there were details that Glark wasn't familiar with like sanitation and the need to not throw things when frustrated. He needed a partner. So, we at Equity Associates agreed to handle the business end of things and let him concentrate on doing what he loved. Due, to health regulations, we've had to switch from open wooden troughs carved with a rock from a fallen tree trunk to sealed wooden barrels. However, we still use hand-picked wild berries and each barrel includes two handfuls of Midwestern giant slugs for flavor (unlike our competitors who skimp on the slugs). In fact, Glark insists on sampling each batch of slugs to make certain that they meet with his high standards. Try our wild berry liquor; it'll make you say, "Blarrgh!"

Geez. Bear rugs, bullets, pictures and the Internet actually exist. Will you still pretend not to understand the difference between these things and stories about mythical creatures?

It was a joke, but fake evidence is fake evidence.

 

[ChrisBFRPKY]

Yeah, that must be why he donned a wig, and a hat, and pointed off into the distance with that "native-looking glance," lol. I'm descended from the Celts and more recently from the clan Gilchrist, or clan McGilchrist, who were lords of Scotland, but I don't tend to don a ginger wig and ride a horse into a pretend battle.

You know fully-well why we mentioned Gimlin in the wig...You're fully aware that he was playing a role, which, ironically, Patterson scammed him out of eventually.

Yes, Bob was acting in Patterson's documentary shot near the South Fork. And what of it? You do know actors use props and costumes when making films right? If that's the biggest gripe you have with Gimlin that he wore a wig for a documentary film shoot, you really don't have much against his character.

[ChrisBFRPKY]

Many Americans, including myself (and probably you) have Native American heritage. I stopped playing Indian and Cowboy when I was about ten.

You?

Since Gimlin is descended from Chirokowa Apache, I don't see how he could "pretend" to be American Indian. Given that he is one and all.

I suppose if you've never shot a documentary or acted for one there's really no need for you to play anything of course. Chris B.

Is just me or does it seem like when OS stops posting Chris starts posting....equal amounts of drivel just different drivel?

Nah, he just tra-lahhed over to BFF for more amenable conversation.

I think a lot of people are open to the idea of Bigfoot being real, but they don't spend much time thinking about it. The people who devote much of their time to saying that Bigfoot doesn't exist are often ex-proponents who are actually in denial. They call themselves skeptics, even though there is really no such thing as being a "skeptic" as skepticism is just a method, but these people somehow think it's a position. Denialism is certainly a position though.

People have varying degrees of skepticism. Whether one believes in Bigfoot or not doesn't have anything to do with how skeptical they are. There's nothing skeptical about saying Bigfoot doesn't exist as that is a hard conclusion that is based on a supposed lack of evidence instead of evidence. IMO, a reasonable person wouldn't devote their time to telling people that there is no such thing as Bigfoot.

He finds it unreasonable that folks would tell him a nonexistent creature doesn't exist. I wonder how he learned Santy Claus isn't real?

No, that's correct, there's no need for me to "play" anything. But on the other hand, I think there's a whole lot of pretending in relation to the PGF.

Oh really. Cite the reference to that from original Greek sources rather than unsourced bigfoot claims.

There is a translation of a real battle Alexander fought in 326 BC on his India campaign that has been dishonestly hijacked by 'footers, right now one of them being you. The report is that the humans they captured had hairy bodies.

Dr. Miland Brown:

See how you didn't cite a source, but the skeptics have no problem sourcing?


I brought a cord of birch home from the woods today. What did you do in the woods?

The info was from National Geographic here:

http://natgeotv.com/uk/abominable-snowman/facts

You cited a source of a battle transcript from 326 BC, but it is not a battle I was referring to. I have no problem citing sources to back what I say here. It's become a given. But you are mistaken that Bigfooters have hijacked the battle thing in India to be Yetis. Here's a good write up about it by Loren Coleman explaining in detail why Alexander the Great DID NOT fight Yetis:

http://cryptomundo.com/cryptozoo-news/alex-no-yetis/

From the NatGeo link, Alexander was the first to request to see a Yeti. Though I don't have a reference "In the Greek" I assume the reference to this was checked by National Geographic prior to publishing. Regardless though, I am certain the Legend of the Yeti precedes the 1950's at any rate.

I didn't do much in the woods yesterday, we had a storm front come through this area. I heat and cool with electric though, and lots of solar panels.

I also have some Native American heritage, that doesn't make me an Indian anymore than it does Gimlin.

He wasn't pretending to be an American Indian. He was pretending to be an American Indian Scout Guide, with long stereotypical Indian hair.

According to Gimlin, he never saw any ape suit. Neither for the documentary or the Bluff creek footage. Chris B.

I think that your problem is that early societies proposed all sorts of fanciful creatures, some completely made up and some highly distorted versions of real creatures. Dating the original stories of Bigfoot to the BC era makes it even more problematic that they have never been actually proven to exist over thousands of years of people looking, whereas many other rumored creatures (lions, elephants, etc) were proven to exist long ago.

Thank the Lord that Loren Coleman is alive to set the record straight once and for all. Here I was imagining a warband of Yetis charging infantry formations, completely unscathed by the slingers and javelinmen, and crashing into the phalanx line in a heroic and most savage display to fight off the invaders. Maybe they werent just hairy dudes though, they probably are distant relatives of a yeti tribe that was displaced thousands of years before. Call Dr. Sykes

We only know that image from the cover of Argosy Magazine. Patterson is sitting on Heironimus' horse named Chico.

For documentaries, costumes would only be used during a recreation scene. Was that the case with Gimlin? Hard to call something a documentary when you are filming a misrepresentation of the truth.
