Bigfoot - serious, not follies

Precisely, Diogenes.

First they are told what they will see when they get out to the muddy wallow. Then what they see is described to them. Then finally, what they see is demonstrated to them.

How could they see anything but a bigfoot imprint? :D

Not only that, two of the guys who made the find that morning had been out there at 3:00 am by themselves! Just hours before the discovery.....
 
Well, that hunter was excited, William.

It was probably only 30 feet.... :D

With Patty's strong legs, she'd do a somersault if she launched herself from all fours! :D

I bet that'd leave a good butt print......
 
You should read some of the news reports that appeared close to the incident..

They mostly seem to be quoting what they were fed by the expedition leaders...

The imprint appears to be a hair-covered body lying down on its side, reaching over to get some fruit, the researchers said. Thermal imaging confirmed that the body print was only hours old.

Huh? That's the first I've read about thermal imaging of the Skookum imprint?
 
You posted the photo with the object you thought caused the distortion, didn't you? Evidently you were unaware at the time there were another 1088 tracks counted in that trackway.

I would argue that 1088 tracks actually hurts the case for Bigfoot existing.

Think about it - you claim that Bigfoot leaves miles of footprints that people find, there are thousands of eye witnesses who have seen the animal clearly enough to be SURE he exists, and he can be baited with an APPLE.

Yet only ONE person in 40 years got a decent (debatable) film or video of the thing and not a single body has turned up! The more sighting, tracks, butt-prints and hair samples that come about without a specimen make it even more ridiculous that one has not been filmed (in decent quality), captured or found dead.

What would you expect if prints were hoaxed or misidentified? No actual bigfoot specimen.

And what do we find after we find prints or any other 'evidence'? NO ACTUAL BIGFOOT SPECIMEN.

Give me a reason why that is not devestating to the case for Bigfoot - this is not an animal that we just started looking for last Thursday.

LAL - I am admittedly not well-schooled in Bigfoot research, let me know what I need to know to overcome this obstacle.
 
Starrman, Bigfoot is a social phenomenon of myth perpetuation.

There must be about 10,000 words written by believers for ever single word written by skeptics. This can have the outward appearance of an established and robust database of evidence and testimony by believers as compared to any 'debunking'. There are multitudes of pro-Bigfoot websites and organizations and not a single anti-Bigfoot establishment.

The mythmongers will perpetually try to reverse the burden of proof. LAL is doing this constantly. She always wants skeptics to prove that such-and-such evidence or testimony is false or hoaxed.

They CANNOT produce a Bigfoot. So instead, they demand that the rest of the world try to show that this is all a myth. The believers are desperate for a respected moment under the sun. It cannot be convincingly created by themselves, so they attempt to invent it by deconstructing any skepticism.

Neither 'side' has a silver bullet that can be used to stop the other side from further debate. The only possible end to this myth is the production of a Bigfoot or Bigfoot part (which would confirm the animal). I cannot forsee any time-based end to this myth that would favor non-existence. The skeptic is not battling any evidence, per se. The skeptic battles the personality, credulity, tactics and persistence of multitudes of believers.

Bigfoot itself is nowheres to be found.
 
I would suspect that the number of Bigfoot believers has greatly increased since 1967 (the time of the PGF). This is not because any body or parts have been found. This is because of the influence of the Internet. From a computer chair, anyone can push their beliefs or agnosticism in one direction or another.

I also suspect that the gross percentage of populational beliefs has not changed much. Most people in America do not believe that Bigfoot is real. This must mean that they also do not think that the PGF is the real deal. This was also true in 1967 and in the years afterwards.

If one seeks information on Bigfoot on the Internet they are flooded with confirmation bias. Virtually anything that they find will support Bigfoot existence. All Bigfoot websites are pro-Bigfoot by nature. From my perspective, any skepticism given within them is token and mostly designed to not dismantle the myth.

Hog-killing Bigfoot in Texas. It was a wise choice for the BFRO scientific organization to include this 'Class A' sighting account of Bigfoot. What an incredible animal we have here!

You don't know this didn't happen just as the man said it did.
It's pretty scary.

Your suggestion scares me more than Bigfoot ever could, because I know that you are real.

We don't know it didn't, and as always, we don't know it did. Pity that, as always, he had no camera. I think if I were going out into wild country, and especially if I were a bigfoot believer, I'd make a point of having at least a small pocket camera of reasonable sharpness with me, just in case something interesting happened along.

Until someone gets a clear shot or a body, though, it's just another anecdote.

Bigfoot cut me off on the expressway this morning (bastard!). You don't know that this didn't happen just the way I said it did.
 
Okay…so I’m driving home from work with my head full of squatchiness and I pull into the local Blockbuster. With all this talk of Bigfoot, I need to desperately see a Squatch flick. Now, as much of a Bigfoot lover as I am, I am woefully ignorant of fictional Squatch cinema this side of the Patterson-Gimlin film…so I feel a little helpless. I didn’t want to sidle up to the high school kid at the counter and say, “I’m looking for a Bigfoot movie. Please advise.” Of course, Harry and the Hendersons seems like an easy choice, so I use that as a backup as I’m perusing the horror section. I’ve heard of The Legend of Boggy Creek, but that’s no where in sight. Suddenly, right there in the midst of the brand spanking new releases, is Sasquatch Hunters! That’s right, kiddies…Sasquatch Hunters! Am I in for a night of entertainment.

Now, there’s no way my wife is watching a friggin’ Bigfoot movie…ever. Ever. So, I have to resign to watching it on my PC. I have to say, it did not take away from my viewing pleasure. First of all, the cast was first rate. Headlining was the very famous Matt Lattimore, who you probably remember from In Your Face (aka Splat) and Firestorm Rising. His leading lady, the group anthropologist, was played by Amy Shelton-White (Slaughter Studios, anyone?). When she said “Gigantalopithecus” I must have giggled with delight. Anyway, the real star was, of course, Bigfoot himself. Or I should say, the stars of the film! There was a virtual army of Bigfeet rampaging throughout the forest! No wonder Moneymaker is having all these Bigfeet round-ups! There are Squatches galore in the PNW! Maybe they looked a bit too much like gorillas for my taste, but what’s a Bigfoot lover to do with the massive dearth of films in the Squatch genre?

Here’s a few screenshots to whet your appetite:

Is that Bob Hieronimous?

The army of the forest! Squatches unite!

Squatches like chicks!

Squatch out!



I really can’t say enough about this film. The only thing that would have made the film viewing experience better is if there was some kind of disclaimer that no Squatches were hurt during the filming. That was really my only major concern.

From what I've seen around here, I'm pretty sure Mayday is a myth.

I did see Bigfoot the other day. Late at night, about 1 AM, someone knocked on my door. I answered it and Bigfoot was standing there. I said, "What the hell do you want, Bigfoot!"

He said, "I need about tree-fitty."

:p
 
Bah, its just evidence that PGF is the real deal.

See, no muscle movment, the proportions are clearly human, the walk is also clearly human, etc.

You all should stop wanting so desperately to belive that bigfeet are not real and surrender to the tons of solid evidence avaliable.
 
After last night’s viewing of Sasquatch Hunters, I am ready for any and all questions related to the furry devils. There was quite a wealth of information in that film, including:

Bigfeet do bury their dead. In fact, they all are buried in one mass graveyard, much like the fabled Elephant’s Graveyard in Africa.

Also got confirmation that Bigfeet throw animal carcasses up into trees. After they shred them to pieces and eat them. Toss ‘em right on up. It’s not like they have weekly garbage pick-up. What’re they supposed to do?

Bigfeet seem to resemble giant carnivorous gorillas more than they do Patty, so I think we can chuck the PGF into the dumper. Also, no Bigfeet females. They like human chicks. A lot. They abduct them, or at least they try to…before Matt Lattimore shoots them. Not sure if this is the way they reproduce, or if they’re just really horny monkeys.

Bigfeet are mostly nocturnal…so I got confirmation on that, too. They will come out at day, especially if someone needs to be killed. Bigfeet seem to kill people whenever they can, which accounts for the lack of eyewitness testimony. It’s all coming together.

Should I submit all of this to the BFRO so they can update their database?
