I was banned from Bullets threads, you checked on it and couldnt figure out why, The next day I got access back. I am not saying you did it, I think BM locked me out of his forum section.

BM never had that access, to lock anyone out. There was no way he was being given the keys to the door like that. If memory serves me right, your problem was a corrupted cookie, but I could be wrong on that.

That is an accurate description of our perception of this event, yes.

Do you think a meaningful percentage of people would not have been drawn to a Bigfoot inquiry but instead would go for ghost/spirit or interdimensional visitor/extraterrestrial?

Or, most would go straight for a Bigfoot theory?

My guess is that most would go straight to bigfoot. It was dark, we were in the woods, and something on two legs approached us. Seems more bigfooty than alieny or ghosty to me.
 
But how did it walk or run away without making the same sounds it did when it walked up to you?

A biped that disappears is a ghost or alien. Do you think more people believe that Bigfoot exists as compared to those who believe in the paranormal entities?
 
Head in the top middle, wings flapping downward on either side (blurred by motion) tail at the bottom middle. Depending on the owl it could also explain the mottled look to the back of it.
If it is an owl I don't think it is the only subject in the photo.

There was another suggestion added to the owl theory but that person is a member here so I'll give them a chance to chime in if they happen upon this thread.
 
I don't think it's any kind of animal on the ground and I don't think it's a person hoaxing a Bigfoot. It seems somewhat close to the camera.

A mangy Bigfoot that is dropping down into position to do the Skookum Roll towards the apples.

Now you're just getting silly, there's too much hair on the critter to be mangy. :D

Beats me, but that doesn't mean it literally disappeared. It could've climbed a tree or stood motionless. For all I know it was standing there, unmoving, and just out of sight.

For what it's worth, my working hypothesis is a fox bounding to its den in a way that sounded very like bipedal footfalls. That would explain the "purposeful" sound of the "steps", the way the sound stopped, and my failure to see what it was after the fact.

I'm thinking a big survey would probably show more alien and ghost belief than bigfoot belief, but context matters with a potential encounter. If someone hears footfalls in an old creaky house, that's a ghost. If someone hears footfalls in the dark in a densely forested area, that's bigfoot. (Aliens have silent footsteps, everybody knows that.)
 
RE: Owlsquatch, I just posted this on the BFF:

"Two cents from an ornithologist: I'm not seeing anatomy consistent with an owl. To me it looks kind of like a guy in a ghillie suit, but my working hypothesis is something like a moth much closer to the camera than folks seem to be considering.

If that's a bigfoot then we can all agree that Patty wasn't one, right?"

A high percentage of the Bigfooters who think this is a Bigfoot will also think that Patty is a Bigfoot. I think the correlation will be approaching 100%. The kind of person who declares this to be a Bigfoot is going to also be the kind of person who declares Patty to be a Bigfoot.

Hey guys, way to much thought and analysis is placed into why or why not, how, proof, etc. When I examine a crime scene, I can determine an "approximate" height of a subject through measurement of the stride pattern. This is not 100% science, but pretty close. Also, you can determine the weight of a subject through impression depth left in loose soil, mud, clay, etc. This test can be performed through measurement of our own impressions in the same test area. (many criteria can change such as weather, moisture of the soil content, etc) which can cause this test to vary. These are just a very, very few tests I use to determine the height, weight, of a suspect. I am confident these same tests are used to determine the height/weight numbers used by the Sasquatch investigators. Further, we must realize that we examine things such as Sasquatch with one of two objectives. (Usually.) 1-we are convinced this creature exists and no one can tell us differently, or 2-we are convinced this creature does not exist and no one can convince us otherwise. Rarely does anyone enter into this debate (or any other for this fact) without preconceived opinions. As an investigator, I could solve crimes, make arrests, or clear people's names because I tried to always gather the facts, closely examine everything-physical evidence, mode of operation, eye witness testimony, etc. and then make a truly informed, unbiased evaluation of the case. As far as Sasquatch goes, I didn't believe in the existence of Bigfoot anymore than I believed in the existence of werewolfs, that is until my wife and I saw one. Sometimes, things defy what we consider logic or science as we know/consider it. I am still of the opinion that until I actually look at one of these things locked up in a cage I will always have a very, very, small hint of doubt in the far back corners of my mind. I am a logical thinker; therefore, I alway try to rationalize the world around me.
