Wait, I thought you DIDN'T know what it was?

Correct. I don't know what it was I saw. I can only describe it and it fit the description of a Bigfoot. Is it a man? Is it a Ape? Is it both? As long as we find out, I don't care what the answer is.

What if it is not an actual animal? would you accept that?
 
How about a hypnagogic hallucination, which is a known and scientifically documented phenomenon of the human mind, and which fits your account of the sighting on many key points?
 
How would one prove a hallucination from 28 years ago if it happened?

A repeat occurence perhaps? Most people who have never experienced sleep related hallucinations, are confused and afraid of their first experience. The knowledge you have gained from this forum should allow you to recognize a future occurence, and say "Wow, maybe I did hallucinate all those years ago"

Hmmm...

Lets see... If it were real, it means there's a viable population (say, at least 50) of giant apes living relatively close to civilization. Since 28 years passed and not a single piece of reliable evidence was found...

Hallucination.

How do we know it was living there? It could have been on vacation.

OK, if it happens again I will let you all know.

Fair enough... There are better places, but well, its either a monkey or a hallucination. One can not expect too much intelligence from them...

That's a good point, John.

Just because a Bigfoot creature is "seen" in a particular location, it doesn't necessarily mean that it...(or a population of them)...lives in that local area.

Bigfoot have BIG feet....perhaps they like to take BIG walks. :)
 
That's nice. How is it that a continent-wide breeding population of giant wood apes can go on big walks through places like Valatie or Whitehall, New York and yet we don't have a type specimen?
 
You forgot the one seen at the Applebee's dumpster in the middle of a town in Michigan (Forgot the town name). Investigated by the Bigfoot Field Reporter Sharon Lee. :D:

have you ever actually been in the woods around whitehall? I tend to suspect not.

Well, it isn't something that's provable because there's no way to repeat the event, and there is no physical evidence to examine. The best you or I or anyone can do within the realm of reason and rationality is to examine the account of the event and compare it to similar known and studied phenomena.

Since no such animal is likely or even possible to exist in objective reality, and putting aside as unlikely the possibility that you were hoaxed or are engaging in a hoax yourself, the best and most rational explanation is that perceptual distortion, possibly connected to sleep-induced hallucination, produced the sighting.

I have never been in the woods around Whitehall. I can look at them, though...

There's no doubt the Adirondack State Park is a lot of woods. That's like the biggest protected area in the lower 48, right? Like Yellowstone, Yosemite, Grand Canyon, Glacier, and Great Smoky Mountains National Parks combined. It has about 130,000 people living in it year-round. About 7-10 million people visit the park anually. Efforts are underway to reintroduce beaver, marten, fisher, lynx, osprey, and other animals decimated by exploitation.

I can compare them with the woods around me...

I can see some similarities...

There.

Here.

There.

Here.

You have some pretty woods. I have some prettier woods. You have some wild woods. I have some wilder woods. Check this out. Just yesterday this guy that looks like my mental image of Huntster got flipped like a pancake and mauled by a bear over here...

Crap. Not again...

I was just there last weekend. But wait a minute. Why are we even talking about wild woods? I'm wasn't talking about wild woods in the post you responded to. I was talking about Bigfoot allegedly being spotted in New York in Whitehall and Valatie. Do you know where Joyce said she and her daughter saw the Bigfoot in 1983? I do. It was at the corner of Rt. 203 and State Farm Road in broad daylight. Let me show you where that is...

Just go and zoom in and follow State Farm to 203. I don't care if it was 27 years ago, it's insane to think that massive, undiscovered woodapes are farting around in human habitations strolling about and we have no type specimen. It's cold bonkers.

Have you ever actually been in the woods of Vancouver Island? It's OK. There are no Bigfoots here, either.

State farm Rd. doesn't cross 203 in that map.

However, despite Bigfoot's non-existence, that looks like a darn good Chupacabra location.
