LOLOLOL....but what Jerrywayne posted kind of backs up what I was guessing at. Most Dissociatives lack depth perception, it might explain why they see bigfoot in every blob of dark shadow.

my pet theory is that most that have sightings fall along a spectrum for Disassociative Identity Disorder or DID:

The only problem with this theory is that DID does not exist. There has never been anyone with multiple personalities.

The original famous case, The Three Faces of Eve, was copied from the fiction novel, The Bird's Nest. This was done by a competing movie studio that wanted an endorsement from psychiatrists so that they could claim that their movie was based on a true story (which is why you've never heard of the movie, "The Bird's Nest"). The second famous case, Sybil, was also fiction. There has never been a documented case of multiple personalities. However, since this is the bigfoot thread, perhaps there are bigfoot with DID.

Well, there's the one personality where the bigfoot is a bear, then the one where it's a shadow, then the one where it's a complete figment . . .

No, it isn't though. It's not a good metaphor because they THINK they saw it, and it was different in as many ways as it was similar. I know you're frustrated by the idiocy shown on BFF, and that is understandable. But if you use sloppy metaphors to try and make them out to be idiots, it doesn't help.

You can't argue with fools like DWA, You can't argue with them because they don't have arguments to begin with. You can expose their illogicality in the sure knowledge that they will, while knowing they are wrong, change the subject and pretend they are not wrong with some cracker barrel idiocy that appeals to those even more stupid than them But don't tar everyone with the same brush, and try not to laugh at people who are just plain stupid, I think that is beneath you. It's not beneath a lot of people on this forum, many of whom get off on a sense of superiority over others for not believing in fairies and come here to be simply to be in the majority and bully. But it is beneath you.

I think many of the folks are just plain silly rather than stupid. An adult going on about a footie named Richard who mind-speaks and herds cattle is being silly. And Graham Chapman should come in and stop the sketch.

Those cases were sensationalized and overblown, but the disorder does exist in varying degrees.

That's really sad, and scary at the same time to think one's mind is capable of betraying the individual in such a way.

Then the thought occurred to me: what if this guy is really a satirist? He posts his pictures of no Bigfoot on Meldrum's Facebook page and says "hey, here is my latest.....see the big one spit and the little one yawn?" Maybe he is just parodying the whole Bigfoot researcher scene with his pictures and videos and his act flies right over the head of Bigfooters.

Now wouldn't that be a riot.

I noticed that too, but I don't think there's any way that dude could avoid conspiracy-mongering long enough to do anything that would require more than an hour's focus.

I think that suggesting a disassociative disorder has anything to do with bigfoot sightings smacks of bf apologetics.

To suggest that habituators are projecting alter egos, rather than merely telling lies, is just absurd.

Yes, I read the nonsense that is plastered on webmd: The "alters" or different identities have their own age, sex, or race. Each has his or her own postures, gestures, and distinct way of talking.

The only thing they are doing is parroting the same mythology. However, more reputable sources say that the only psychiatrists who promote this idea are the true believers (much like the bigfoot believers) who cannot stand the idea that this disorder is fiction and see DID everywhere. Some of these mental health clowns claim to have patients who have upwards of 16,000 separate personalities.

There are three primary sources for the false diagnosis of DID. The first would be actual mental disorders like Alzheimer's, schizophrenia, traumatic stress disorder, bipolar disorder, and borderline personality disorder. The second source is simple method acting. Method acting can also be a source for the fictitious "channeling" of spirits. I recall a woman who claimed to be a witch who supposedly channeled an evil goddess. What she was doing was clearly method acting to me. Will Smith for example is a method actor. His son said that that when he was working with him on the movie, "The Pursuit of Happyness," that he would ask his father for money for a bottle of pop and multimillionaire Will would tell his son that they couldn't afford it. The third source is a bit more troubling. It involves false memories planted by the therapist during hypnotic sessions. These false memories have also been the source for belief in alien abduction (Barney and Betty Hill), past lives (Bridey Murphy), and false memories of childhood sexual abuse.

Sometimes the rationalization is striking. For example, on an NPR interview, a Dr. Flatow who was a proponent of DID made the claim that they had found 20 death row inmates who had DID. The problem I see with this is that it too closely matches the B-grade plot of such movies as "Psycho", "Angel Heart", "Hide and Seek", and "Secret Window".

This whole thing is a joke, right?

I wondered the same thing but just haven't got around to asking yet. I guess the book was out of the question, I do remember them saying that it ended up being too short. Obviously they went the route of a low budget movie instead.

No, not if you ever met any of these footers in person, you might develop a different opinion after that.
