Moderated Bigfoot- Anybody Seen one?

yes, as I get older I see that those who control the schools and the young kids control the world. This little kid will forever believe that there are big monsters in the woods. that is a tragedy, in a small way. That die has been cast. It's like religion and politics. Certain political groups are changing school books, preventing teachers from teaching evolution, or talking about climate change, etc. Science and rational thinking are suffering.

How jref typical. Some one new expresses an opinion in a post and all you can do is demean them and post snotty remarks toward them.

Is this the place for intellectual thinking?

There's probably over 100,000 sightings of sasquatch on record and they keep comin in.

Hazard a guess what the probability that hundreds of thousands of sightings over the years were hoaxes/mis-identifications/delusions?

Sheriff, that's because I gots nothin :D It's all wild extrapolation anyway. What's your estimate? The BFRO database is likely the tip of the iceberg of people with alleged sightings over the centuries. It's a pretty fortuitous route to get your sighting published on the web. What's the ratio I wonder, 1 in 5 gets reported? But I admit they're only numbers with arbitrary weights of relevance assigned to them. Even so, I bet they kick alien abduction butt.

Those wacky "detrimental robots" give your numbers a run for their money in only 4 years:

"between 1945 and 1949, many letters arrived attesting to the truth of Shaver's claims (tens of thousands of letters, according to Palmer). The correspondents claimed that they, too, had heard strange voices or encountered denizens of the Hollow Earth."

And since Deros are connected to flying saucers, we can add in the large number of alien abduction reports. If we want to legend twist a bit, we can factor in ancient tales of abductions by fairies and elves. In short, Bigfoot sightings ain't nothin' special numbers-wise.

Hawaii has Littlefoot liars.

It also has "THE BIGFOOT SIGHTING & REPORTING CENTER OF HAWAII."

Also, this could be of use.

As for Kodiak Island, it looks like a dinosaur ate them all...

The same "why are there no liars here?" could be applied to various areas, communities, counties, etc. in North America that have no documented Bigfoot sighting reports. These "liar-free zones" might be right next to Bigfoot sighting hotspots.

I'd like a map like that get made for the "red panda incident."

This graphic is somewhat related to the question of "liar-free zones". This is a random array of dots (ignore the 2 colors and left margin). But it appears to have patterns and clumps, especially if you begin to enlarge it. It's nothing but randomness. Random doesn't produce uniformity - it creates clumps and shapes as you can see.

If these were random Bigfoot reports placed on a hypothetical map we would be able to see hotspots and empty zones (liar-free as Huntster says). Some folks might "see" migration or movement corridors. But it's all random and nothing is attracting or repelling any given dot.

This is only somewhat related to the question of why there may be no Bigfoot reports from Kodiak Island. Pure randomness would leave certain areas with no reports at all. I'm not saying this is the reason but it's interesting to know that random makes patterns.

9/11 was an inside job and Bigfoot exists = Immediate Fail on JREF.

i'm not convinced either way about bigfoot...i think it'd be pretty cool if he did exist, but..
i thought that this was a place for rational thinkers.
i guess i have a lot to learn about the place.
i find it mildly amusing that there are still people that argue for the 911 'official story'.

Do you think the government covers up the existence of Bigfoot? If yes, why would they cover it up?

I thought of another possibility for the "liar-free zones" of Hawaii and Kodiak. The BFRO and other databases use the location of sightings not the place where the witness lives. A Hawaiian could go to Washington and make up a story about seeing Bigfoot there. Same for the Kodiak resident. In cases like that, you have Bigfoot liars living in those places but their fictitious sightings are in other locations.

For this, Huntster's question shouldn't be why there are no liars in Hawaii or Kodiak but rather why haven't lies been told about Bigfoot living in those places. Regardless, we don't know for sure if nobody has claimed to see Bigfoot in those places.
 
I have already claimed that Kodiak Island would not support a population of Bigfoots. There is too much competition from the Brown Bears. They have already pushed out the Black bears there. Hawaii should not contain a population of Large man-beasts, because Hawaii is not on the Siberian track of migration from Asia. Therefore any claims from there would be brushed aside by the Bigfoot elite as 'silly'
 
Huntster's hypothesis is meant to quash the idea that people, in general, are making up stories about seeing Bigfoot. He thinks that if this were true then people everywhere without exception would be doing it. He thinks that there are no reports from Hawaii or Kodiak because there are no Bigfoots in those places.

Right. But there are problems with his reasoning.

Would we know if there was a bigfoot report from those places if the BFRO had decided the sighting was fake, and threw the report out?

In Hawaii, you go to paradise, you do not expect to see Bigfoot, (because it is a tiny island, with no sighting reports) so your mind does not conjure up Bigfootish characteristics of animals, or tree stumps. However you might conjure up images of a south pacific tiny-person of legend.

In Kodiak, the danger is Bears, Bigfoot doesn't maul people, so if you go there and have a hallucination, it is probably going to be of some form of bear, not a giant melancholy apeman.
 
You have become an expert in hallucinations and what forms people will hallucinate and where and when they will do it?

I'm just trying to say, there is a reason, that people visiting Hawaii don't REPORT bigfoot, and people visiting Kodiak don't REPORT Bigfoot. The hallucination angle was just a possible reason they don't see Bigfoot.

If they do report it, it probably get's thrown out by the investigator as 'silly'
 
Huntster extends his hypothesis to explain why there are no reports from Kodiak. His reasoning for this is: because there are no Bigfoots there. Why? Because of the giant brown bears.

He lays it out here on JREF over a few pages... before he got banned.
 
Shoot it!
No.
Shoot it now!
No.
Why?
Because a respected guy named Huntster on a Bigfoot forum said that it is illegal to shoot a Bigfoot ape monster creature.
