Why do you think that those two guys are drawn to Bigfoot and Bigfootery instead of, say, reporting seeing 18-foot tall chipmunks and other such outrageous nonsense?

If you're talking about here wasn't it closed. And if it was, rightfully so. Massive cry for attention. Nothing more.

Good questions. I have no idea. I saw Dallas at the 2008 Ohio Conference and he really creeped me out because he acts so weird. He asked one of the speakers about "wormhole jumping Bigfoot". After seeing that documentary it made it clearer to me he has problems.

Something that is probably not apparent to you: These guys have just as much of a "right" or opportunity to access and interact with the myth of Bigfoot as you do. Your Bigfoot is not more real than the ones they encounter. All of you are in the same boat. You are Bigfoot witnesses that are now hooked on Bigfooting.

That's a good point. I certainly don't mean to ridicule WGBH in any way, but to a skeptic/non-believer, "wormhole jumping Bigfoot" is every ounce as absurd as "9-foot-tall-mulberry-munching bigfoot".

Neither can possibly exist, so calling one person's fantasy "creepy" while adhering to one's own fantasy comes across as... well, silly.
 
Please stop posting cutesy videos and off-topic would-be humorous asides. I and others come here to read bigfoot discussion, as per the thread title. If you don't have anything to share on that topic, will you please refrain from posting? It's annoying. Thanks.
 
Which other videos?

Everyone here knows I only require minimum evidence.

I just want everyone to see a different side of cowboy life. Some here are from Europe. And Canada.

WP,

Why would you think that was not apparent to me? Do you see me attacking these men? I was not the one calling them hoaxers. I said, I think they have issues and It was just opinion based on my interaction. These men are free to do whatever they want, the way they want. I really don't care. You just like to twist it back around as an insult towards me.

You think you have me all figured out and you dont have a clue. You do not know me. You do not know the reasons why I do what I do. I am not "hooked" on Bigfooting at all. I am not a Bigfoot "enthusiast" as that is a word that is so casually thrown around here. I do what I do to try to help others get the proof I want. When or if those answers are found, you will never see me in the woods searching for Bigfoot again. I am only making my contribution as best I can.



Vort,

What I saw was not a "fantasy". It was real and it was standing right in front me in broad daylight. Your opinions are noted but are incorrect and therefore have no relevance to me.
 
That's the nature of hallucination, WGBH: it seems real, feels real, looks real, but isn't.

And of course, what you saw was not "standing right in front of you in broad daylight". It was fifty feet away, according to your own account of the event, and was among trees and shrubbery.

You were isolated, anxious and sleepless in the wee hours of the morning. These are all known and documented elements of hypnagogic hallucination, your refusal to accept objective reality notwithstanding.

It also is difficult for some people to admit to. Many people who experience an HH scenario try to rationalize the experience by looking for other explanations. In some cases this leads to Bigfoot. In others it leads to UFOs, in others out-of-body experiences.
 
There are several posters here who have admitted to experiencing such hallucinations -- Kitakaze for one; he used to (or still does?) hallucinate a demon choking him in his bed at night.

Others at the JREF have given accounts of seeing impossible images on roads late at night. These are some of our most cogent, rational contributors, who do not appear to fear the stigma of "insanity" which WGBH seems to fear will attach to his name or reputation if he concedes the probability that what he saw was not real.

There is a chapter in Sagan's Demon-Haunted World which discusses how normal and common hallucination is among human beings. It's a historically known and documented fact of human existence. If we could strip away the "crazy" stigma some attribute to such experiences, we might be able to gain headway with people like WGBH, who in all likelihood had a very common event happen to them, akin to an optical illusion inside of a semi-waking dream. There should be no stigma attendant to that experience.
 
Here is how vivid these things can be.
I was driving to work, I had gotten up at 4AM to get there by 4:30AM to start early, I was exhausted, I had played basketball until 11PM the night before, as I pulled into my industrial complex, I heard a frikking POSSUM hissing at me from the backseat! It had crawled in my open window during the night and it just woke up, I freaked out, pulled the car over, got out, and looked for the beast. Nothing. It was a plastic grocery bag on my backseat that the wind had caught, the fluttering noise sounded like a hiss, and my mind instantly projected the possum, I looked back, and the white bag looked like a possum sitting on the backseat. Of course, since I have studied sleep disorders deeply, with regards to them being an explanation for Bigfoot sightings, I immediately knew what had happened, and I did not go and join an "Attacked by Possums forum"
