Merged Bigfoot follies

[Correa Neto]

Dammit, double post. Must be bigfoot using its infrasound telepathy...

My ear wasn't ringing. I experienced this sensation at the exact same time another individual did. He actually swatted at his ear. In both cases, the ear that had the fluttering sensation was the one facing the Bigfoot family group.
The third witness is deaf in the ear that was facing the Bigfoot family group and so he felt no sensation at all. I don't know what it was, but it wasn't a normal sensation. It seemed kind of odd that both witnesses had the exact same fluttering sensation only in the ear that was towards the Bigfoot group. The ear on the opposite side had no odd sensation at all.

A rare type of objective tinnitus is called muscular tinnitus. One hears a rhythmic twitching noise or fluttering noise in the ear. This can be caused by an irregular contraction of one of the two ear muscles in the middle ear that are attached to the hearing bones. This is very similar to the twitching of the eyelids that some people experience upon occasion. Muscular tinnitus can be related to caffeine intake, lack of sleep, and stress. It can also occur independent of any apparent cause. Also, the muscles in the throat that open and close the Eustachian tube from the nose to the ear can have a similar spasm and cause muscular tinnitus. This form of tinnitus usually resolves with time. If it does not resolve in a short time, low doses of anti-seizure medications can usually stop the contractions. If these prove ineffective, the muscles in the middle ear can be cut to stop their contractions by a minor surgical procedure.

That fluttering in your ... ear could be a common condition called tinnitus.

Simply put, nerves and nerve endings within the inner ear can "wear out" with age and exposure to loud noises. At the end of the day, you might be experiencing "frayed nerves" and thus you're more vulnerable to the fluttering at that time. Stress and anxiety can exacerbate tinnitus symptoms. In fact, the most commonly prescribed prescriptions for tinnitus are certain anxiety/depression medications, which affect neurotransmitters (the brain chemicals that transmit nerve impulses).

I've noticed that what appear to be anxiety symptoms often accompany many bigfoot (as well as paranormal) encounters.

You can make all of those part of the Fantasy.

Pretend it is caused by Bigfoot, pretend you saw the Bigfoot that zapped the other guy, pretend that you weren't having Sleep Paralysis, but that Bigfoot was actually pressing on your chest making you think it was difficult to breath, unable to move.

etc...

Why isn't this park warning the public about bigfoot?

^This, a thousand times, this.

People wonder why the BLAARG hypothesis took root here at the JREF/ISF. Well, a big part of it was the realization that despite their stories, bigfooters don't act like people who've encountered giant scary monsters in the woods.

Our man Chris just regaled us with a quick summary of all the encounters with the bigfoots that he can't unsense. These experiences have convinced him to only enter the woods when armed with a 0.44 Magnum. The unsensical thing here is that Chris is playing Dirt Harry when, if his beliefs were sincere, he'd be Sheriff Brody.

Here's a hypothetical interview with Chris on ABC's 20/20 following the inevitable massacre of a suburban family out for a stroll in a public park when they stumbled upon a cranky bigfoot:

Elizabeth Vargas: "So you knew these bigfoots were there?"
Chris from KY: "Yes ma'am."
EV: "And you suspected they were dangerous."
CKY: "Yes. These creatures are easily the largest and most dangerous of North American wildlife, and they have human-like intelligence."
EV: "Did you take steps to protect yourself when you entered their territory?"
CKY: "Yes. I always made sure that I was packing large in their territory."
EV: "So how did you go about alerting authorities at the Park that this danger was lurking along that popular trail."
CKY: "Well, for years I visited a website devoted to science, skepticism, and critical thinking where I told the people there that I had photos and footprint casts that I would not share with them."

Yep: unsense, i.e., nonsense.

Its bigfoots using their human-like intelligence and telepathic powers to manipulate footers' behaviors.

And the government/logging and mining companies conspiracies.

Actually the logging and mining companies are hiding bigfoot because they are using them as slaves, footie needs no equipment to tear down trees and strip the bark off them so they greatly enhance the profits.

FREE BIGFOOT!!

That is signature worthy.

Right, or like people encountering real animals in the woods, or people looking for real animals in the woods...

Bigfooter situational incompetence is an observed fact; BLAARGing is a hypothesis which successfully explains that fact.

That's sort of the thing, isn't it. Let's assume for the moment that we are all incorrect and that the bigfooters, including Chris, are being sincere.

Now let's assume that bigfoot is proven both real and a menacing threat.

Whom do you suggest should comprise the team of experts to track the now-proven creature, find out further information, and neutralize the threat?

If it were up to me, I wouldn't let the bigfooters near that team. Nothing they have said or done indicates any kind of ability to perform that function.

I've noticed that what appear to be anxiety symptoms often accompany many bigfoot (as well as paranormal) encounters.

Thank you. I have looked into these explanations in an effort to try and figure out exactly what was going on.

Firstly, I considered stress/increased blood pressure due to the sighting, but unfortunately this cannot be the answer because the "fluttering ear thing" happened to both of us just BEFORE we had seen the Bigfoot group. It was brief and stopped immediately when we both turned to look in the direction of the Bigfoot group.

Second, I thought it may have been caused by my blood pressure meds. But the other witness does not use blood pressure meds so no.

It could have simply been a coincidence, but I've spoken with other researchers I know and trust and one had the exact same thing happen to him preceding a sighting. So I don't know? I'm left with more questions than answers. It may not have anything to do with Bigfoot at all but it's noted as an unknown factor regardless.

OK, that's abject nonsense. You claim now that the presence of footie causes unusual BP variations in everyone present. I say that is a BS claim, like all the other BS claims made.

Sounds to me like anticipatory anxiety. Bigfoot researchers make claims of feelings of being watched, zapped, escorted out of the woods, etc. Paranormal enthusiasts often talk about feeling "negative energy" feelings or being pushed or pulled in a certain direction; I've observed a group of them hastily exiting an alleged haunt based on such shared "feelings." Add a stress-induced shot of adrenaline from impulses in the cerebral cortex will get you all kinds of reactions I would hazard to guess, right up to bigfoots, ghosties and demons.

When you keep encountering a nine foot ape and can't get any pictures? Yeah, what can you really say?

 

[dmaker]

Chris, would you happen to know how many bigfoot research groups there are in Kentucky? I know of at least two that I found while looking for other things.

That is very possible. However, I do not feel it was merely a trick of the mind. I have considered it may have been caused by those old instincts of predator evasion we still possess but seldom use now. You know the hair standing up on the back of your neck feeling and that feeling of being watched. Again, the fact that both of us felt the exact same thing at the exact same time is the difficult part to explain away. That's still the only reason I feel it may have been related to the Bigfoot creatures that were present. (I understand that part is not included in your consideration but it is in mine) It may have absolutely nothing to do with them and may have very well been a simple biological response to environmental stress though, I agree. I noted it as a "just in case" kinda thing, though it may not be related.

I know of 4 that are fairly serious, I'm sure there are several more.

[dmaker]

Thank-you for the response, Chris. These groups are out actively looking for bigfoot on a somewhat regular basis?

I wonder how many of these groups, on average, there are per state?

3 of the groups I know of have specific areas they research in. I think they watch for fresh sign that the Bigfoot creatures are in their areas. I don't know how often they're in the field though I think fairly regularly this time of year.
The 4th has a very nice website and he does field work but I believe he covers the entire state so I'm unsure whether he has a specific area he looks at regularly or investigates sighting reports as they come in from wherever.

I don't know how many groups per state average. I imagine there are several in the states with high reported Bigfoot activity.

Sighting reports come in during this time of year. I'm off to investigate a sighting that happened locally yesterday as soon as I finish my response to Carlitos below.
