Why the Continued Interest in Bigfoot on This Forum

Bigfoot Fever: Bigfoot and the Skeptibunkers


Trickster's Realm by Regan Lee...





Frame 352 - Paranormalbigfoot.blogspot. Regan Lee's blog.

WP,
I checked her blog for a minute. Why did she call you snarly? Does she know you? This is why I have a continued interest in Bigfoot. The individuals and groups are fascinating.
While some have no problem casting and baiting for the "others" to respond, they are quite surprised and a little angry with what they reel in to shore.
Must be those snarly skeptics.

That's a new blog entry. I love it.

You call him Doctor Snarly, doll!

RE: OP

For much the same reason(s) daytime TV drama shows (aka: the soaps) endure the test of time.

1. There's always intrigue.

2. There's no viable (scientific) way to attain resolution.

3. The characters are...well, characters.

It does offer insight into a slice on some of the human life forms populating this planet who may have a crust being a tad underdone.

3. The characters are...well, characters.

Speaking of characters, you reminded me of Jon-Erik Beckjord, whose site I've browsed in awe, some years ago. I googled him and learned that unfortunately, he's no longer with us, and his site doesn't exist anymore.

I found out, however, that archive.org has made copies of many of the the site's classic stories, and photos of blurry blots, that prove the existence of shapeshifting alien bigfoots materializing in and out of our dimension.

A nice example can be found here: tinyurl.com/ngy9cw

RIP Jon-Erik Beckjord...

Regan Lee, whoever that is, should probably just stick to all those other 'esoteric'...things. And yes I understand just about everyone has an opinion on Bigfoot, but if you take the time to create an actual web page about it, make it worthwhile, not like you got up all groggy at 3:37 AM to take a...but decided to make a web page instead. That page is so bad I can't tell if she's a Bigfoot proponent, skeptic or ShamWow™ copy writer lookin' for new business. Just because someone confiscates the notion that 'they need to be heard' doesn't mean everyone else thinks so.

Speaking personally, the subject interested me for years because I thought the animal might be real. Recently, after discovering this forum and its wealth of resources for self-education, I realized that the belief I had harbored for so long was illogical, and did not properly explain the facts. Now that I understand this, I feel it's important to try and counter what I deem to be an irrational, emotion-based belief system with evidence, logic and reasoning.

...etc...

That's it for me.
Its fascination.
Could it really be out there?

"Patty's just someone in a suit." one might say.
"They made the suit with boobs?" could be a respone.

"Note, when Patty turns to look back. She turns her shoulders. This is because her head isn't on a neck like ours. It is more ape-like. This means she can't turn her head."
"Maybe it was just the costume!" could be a response.

Also, it intrigued me as a kid, and it still does so as an adult.

I'm always curious about this:
If it is a hoax, then who has hoaxing the Indians hundreds of years ago? Don't Indians have tales of Bigfoot (albeit under different names.)

Is there an undiscovered Indian clan of pranksters out there?

What were the Indians seeing?

They were either seeing Bigfoot, or someone was hoaxing them way back when.

Are those the only two options?

Native Americans have tales and imagery concerning any number of mythical, non-existent creatures, including the Thunderbird, the water-puma and various talking animals. Are we to conclude, going by the logic of the above line of questioning, that the Indians were seeing actual Thunderbirds and actual water-pumas, and/or hearing actual animals speak, or that they were being willfully hoaxed by a third party?

The third and best option, of course, is that folklore and myth account for these stories.

Vortigern99,

you were completely different than most who believe the animal might be real. You were open to evidence, logic and reasoning. Your ability to let go of that belief and admit you were wrong says a lot about you. Well done sir.

Speaking personally, the subject interested me for years because I thought the animal might be real. Recently, after discovering this forum and its wealth of resources for self-education, I realized that the belief I had harbored for so long was illogical, and did not properly explain the facts. Now that I understand this, I feel it's important to try and counter what I deem to be an irrational, emotion-based belief system with evidence, logic and reasoning.

It also occurs to me that all three of the PGF threads -- the Munns report, the Heironomous thread and the PGF 3 -- could and should be combined into one uber-thread. That's just one thinly-contributing member's opinion.

Agreed.

Finally I feel I must note the irony that a thread complaining that there are too many BF threads is itself... an additional BF thread. Now we're talking about the hobby of bigfootery, our motivations, the attraction of the subject, etc. Make no mistake, Jungle Jim, you have now created a bigfoot thread, in which BF proponents and detractors can and will discuss the viability of bigfoot. Congrats!

Maybe that was Jungle Jim's plan all along!

Clearly, dragons were real. Clearly many dragons could actually fly and breathe fire.

You know, Dr. Snarly Parcher has a certain ring to it.

Jim's bnugle in the jnugle!

 

[snoop_doxie]

Jim's bnugle in the jnugle!

Of course! Now, that song will be in my head, and the only words I can remember are "bungle in the jungle, and it's all right with me"!

 

[LTC8K6]

You had to be there for the bnugle...

 

[Jungle Jim]

As I stated in the OP I was curious as to why people who were strong skeptics of Bigfoot still engaged in the debate. I got a variety of thoughtful answers, as well as four additional pages of bigfootery discussion. I should have known that would happen. In any case, I thank you all for your participation. Now if I can just get away from Jethro Tull.

And that, Jungle Jim, has been our evil plan all along!
Muahahahahaha!
You are doomed to repeat that song forever!
Next!

LTC8K6 You had to be there for the bnugle...

shhh LTC, you will scare the next one away.

Freak claims to have given up the bnugling in the jnugle in the time since he left us but my coming back to the SFB apparently put the fire back in his heart for the jnugle. He seemed pretty determined. I tried warning him against further harpoon antics and the physics of a tall platform on a small boat he wouldn't have any of it.

How many nights in the steamy Florida swamps have had the croaks of bullfrogs and chirps of crickets silenced by the screams of self-inflicted pain by the Freak in the Creek?

bnugle jnugle, creekfreak style

Creek is back? Ah, there was a mighty believer. He finished his john-boat tower?
I dread the thought of the CreekFreak out there alone with his towering john-boat, screaming and scaring his BigFoot away.
What is SFB Kitakaze?
Oh, just thought, search for bigfoot. I have to see what CF is up to these days.

Apparently David Paulides and his organization, North American Bigfoot Search, submitted hair samples for DNA analysis and the lab was unable to rule out an undocumented species as the source. According to the letter sent by the lab (this is all included in Paulides's latest novel, Tribal Bigfoot), further testing is taking place.

Regarding the OP, it is hair analysis that often piques my interest.

Creek is back?

Freak was never gone. He's gone from here but he's been working the Creek at the Search For Believers steady all along. Freak (I call him that in the funk vernacular, not the circus vernacular), I kid you not, offered to pay for me to fly around the world and down to the swamp from Tokyo to experience his Bigfoots. I asked him to spend his money on gamecams instead. Bigfoots are just too badass for gamecams, though. I think we compromised by agreeing to have a beer at the Yakima Round-Up if we could be there. Alas, no skeptics, no doubters, and no Freaks.

Welcome to the JREF, Mako.

This sounds very interesting and I would really like to kno*snore*

Enjoy.
