• Quick note - the problem with Youtube videos not embedding on the forum appears to have been fixed, thanks to ZiprHead. If you do still see problems let me know.

Simple question for Bigfoot enthusiasts: Why no unambiguous photos/videos?

I don't think it's exactly the same view point that you have about it but the outcome is the same.

I have a real problem with discriminating fence sitters. You either are or you aren't pregnant, so you either believe bigfoot exists or you don't.

Looking at this from a logical viewpoint, no evidence is in sight and none forthcoming in the foreseeable future, it adds up to not existing.

Hey Jodie,

So your take on it is that they probably dont exist ? But you are open to possibilities especially if a certain amount of evidence is forthcoming ?

It will take dragging a body out of the woods for me to believe they exist. I don't think any DNA study or photograph will ever do it for me.

A video of rare real animals inside (focus is good, so no bigfoot):

Wonderful video. Eight individuals of the rarest gorilla subspecies captured in two minutes of clear, informative images.

"The footage provides us with our first tantalizing glimpses of Cross River gorillas behaving normally in their environment," said Christopher Jameson, director of the Takamanda Mone Landscape Project. "A person can study these animals for years and never even catch a glimpse of the gorillas, much less see anything like this."
​

Among the wonders in these two minutes are a silverback giving us a chest-beating display as he runs across frame, and an individual with a missing right hand, possibly due to a hunter's snare. I could watch this over and over, and I think I will.
 
If only half the effort and funds were spent and exerted for the creatures that are endangered that is spent on those that are alleged to exist and dont. Might make a big difference ?

Ouch. So true.

We never do see multiple bigfoots hoaxed at the same time, either.

If I recall there was a video referenced earlier on in this Thread which had "a feller" who saw BF "but only when he was by himself" and he was videotaping two of them at once ? I am not sure if they were holding hands though ?

Heck, might be worth going out and setting up some BF hoaxes to try to raise money for some real critters! Put all the gullible fools's money to some good use for a change. (insert snarky-sarcastic smiley-face here.)

It is rumored that experts have looked at Erickson’s video and were not impressed. This is not true. Bill Munns was asked to review video shot by the Crittenden, Kentucky owners that Erickson suspected was hoaxed. Munns affirmed that it was indeed hoaxed with a Chewbacca mask and Erickson refused to buy the video.

However, several other videos were shot by the same owners after the first hoaxed one, and these were shown to a variety of experts who all thought they were real. Unfortunately it is true that the best videos in Erickson’s documentary were shot by confirmed hoaxers, who at least hoaxed the first video they shot. Surely the skeptics will use this information to try to discredit all of the videos.

However, some of our best evidence has come from hoaxers – Randy Brisson, Paul Freeman, Ray Wallace, the list goes on and on. It’s pitiful but true.

Jodie, Freeman's involvment with hoaxes are and known despite of this, part of his material is still "sold" by some footers as good stuff. The excuse is that Freeman decided to "spice things up" to avoid the subject to be forgotten...

Hoaxers... Without them bigfootery would not exist.

Look! Bigfoot! Sharp and crystal clear!

(Well, it undeniably has big feet.) :D
 
Well , I do not know the back stories of many of these people. I had to look Freeman up, and I did indeed find a cast that he did that Dr. Meldrum was selling at a conference.

I swear, my idols with clay feet are dissolving right before my very eyes just in the last 6 months. I feel like an ostrich coming up for air.

That gives us three options for Meldrum:

1) He's completely incompetent, in which case he should be ignored.
2) He's completely deluded, in which case he should be pitied and ignored.
3) He's knows darn well those are hoaxed casts he's hocking, in which case he should be vilified, and perhaps arrested.

Which one shall I put you down for, MuldUr?
 
If science accepts Bigfoot as real, it will then also become a personal problem between the skeptic and what is recognized as science.

Absolute hogwash.

This is being discussed in length in the other thread. The idea that a single dismissed claim turning out to be true would cause a sort of "Crisis of Faith" among everyone that's ever held a rational mindset is laughable, despite how often Woo Slingers delight in the notion.
