I do! I am a HUGE Bigfoot fan and watch all the programmes on it, my favourite is Expedition Bigfoot and Finding Bigfoot😂

I watch these as well! And I subscribe to Fortean Times; lots of weird stuff in there! 😁

Funnily enough I was trying to find a picture online that might look vaguely similar so I could post it on this thread. But I couldn't find anything. Lots of pixies, gobblins and monkey type creatures but none of them were a good fit at all. Unfortunately I am absolutely hopeless at drawing. I mean, seriously awful.

Genuinely Interested to know more about your later experience if not too triggering to share. I have always felt there is ‘more to this heaven and earth than meets the eye’ :)

Can you draw at all? Have you tried to draw what you saw?

There are decent pictures out there though.................

It's so weird.

When I was younger we used to have frequent news items of sightings of fairies. Bigfoot and Nessie.

Seems to have stopped.

Edited

Same with aliens, grimm dogs and ghosts. Strangely they all stopped being a thing when people started carrying phone cameras everywhere with them. If they existed we'd have a good picture by now.

Someone assuming that you're posting bc you've got nothing better to do if you're not doing the school run. It's quite sexist and patronising if you think about it.

My then best friend and I were walking through fields near to where we lived. We were both 13 years old. We'd just been wandering around doing nothing very much (it was summer school holidays). Suddenly we saw a little "man", about 18 inches tall sort of dressed in leaves. He looked like a small human. His skin was brown but not hairy and he was standing upright. He looked at us for a few seconds, and we of course at him. We were about 10 feet away from him, so quite near. Then he started to run towards the nearest tree that had an entrance/hollow at the bottom and he disappeared. Once we'd composed ourselves, we compared notes as to what we'd seen and we both agreed. We were both country girls, so very used to seeing all sorts of creatures. We'd never seen anything like this before, nor since.

Oh, I so agree about being able to share the experience. I've only ever told a couple of other people over the last 55 years and not suprisingly received "funny looks". Now in a moment of madness I've told everyone on Mumsnet. Must be the heat getting to me! Yes, I did have one other very strange experience 15 years ago that was actually rather disturbing, to the extent that I really don't want to tell anyone because it raises questions and, quite frankly, still scares me.

Because everyone has their phone glued to their hands now so if you didn’t catch it on camera - it didn’t happen

Me and dh love the idea of a Big Foot and have followed TV shows over the years.. Hard not to be suspicious that the popular one features Mike Moneymaker though.

Yep. Moneymaker is an asshole and an opportunist IMO.

BlankTimes · 15/08/2025 19:52

In the Expedition Bigfoot series, tree structures are discovered in remote areas hundreds of miles apart. They appear to be similar.

Faked for the cameras? Constructed by hoaxers (although to do so in such very remote areas and hope a camera crew discovered them seems crazy)

Then there are the infra red images of 'something' nearby, often stated to be no known species in that area.

In the approx 1950s, respected mountaineer Chris Bonnington took a team to the Himalayas to try and ID Yeti evidence and artefacts. Evidence was found, but on return to the UK, Customs lost all the evidence he had.

I have no idea whether Bigfoot, Sasquatch, Yeti exists outside of legends, but the more casts of large footprints, recordings of responses to broadcast alleged Bigfoot calls, tree structures, tree knocks, IR images, nests etc. that are compiled in extremely remote areas around the world seem to have more similarities than differences, the more I wonder ...

I’m the same. I do have an open mind despite my posts to the contrary. I guess I’m an optimistic sceptic.

Show quote history

I define “open minded” as being prepared to be convinced by evidence. So yes, I am a complete sceptic, but if anyone produces evidence I’ll change my mind. So I am open minded. Unlike the people who absolutely refuse to be convinced by evidence to the contrary. So the believers are the closed minded ones!

Perfect description. I would LOVE there to be proof of anything paranormal. I’d be DELIGHTED to be wrong in my opinion that there’s no evidence for it, nor has there ever been.

I don’t know , I have watched the hunting big foot programmes and got hooked . Yet at the same time I know that primitive beings wouldn’t hide poop , never die suddenly & be buried in unmarked graves never to be discovered , or accidently appear clearly in a trail camera . But hope springs eternal , perhaps the next series ….

I do understand that hope.

@Peaceisenough - There are so many, everyone around here has a story. You can go down a rabbit hole on Reddit Washington State subs. You should visit the area. Forks and surrounding areas have some great little Sasquatch museum's and tours.

So many rabbit holes, so little time!

I listened to a podcast about Bigfoot a while ago - basically they were saying that in order for there to be a sustainable breeding population of them there’d have to be a large number of creatures, and although the North American wilderness is still vast, it’s unlikely there would be no trace of them around, no skeletons, confirmed sightings etc. Possibly a large ape did survive long enough to exist in folk memory, but not feasibly in the last 1,000 years. (It was a while ago so I’m a bit hazy on the facts, but that was the gist of it!).

in my innocence, I didn’t realise there were multiple bigfeet, I learn something every day I swear.

I question how much we know about the past too. I mean, the government have never lied to us have they.

There’s quite a few people on you tube and some of the ‘evidence’ is merely made by a bear or deer.

Show quote history

I did see a TV program (within the lasr 3-4 years, i think) about the existence of this animal in the Himalayas. They were researching local tales and sightings of a bigfoot type animal.
They did find some hair, a clump caught on vegetation, and it was analysed as belonging to a bear - but a polar bear. Thousands of miles from the Arctic.

There’s two ways at looking at the supernatural. One is it’s a thing and it’s being suppressed hence the obvious bullshit artists.m

Or, it is bullshit and people are pushing it to make money.

Much like the ufo sightings. The government pushed that until they didn’t.

Who knows.

There were a lot more exotic pets around in the “old days” and people used to just release them into the wild when they got too difficult to handle. Lots of primates. That’s what all the big cat sightings are too.

Show quote history

Yes, that's one explanation. I'm certainly not going to dismiss it. Although I must admit 1970's rural England wasn't exactly awash with exotic animals. You'd be just as likely to see one now as you would then, if you see what I mean. It really didn't look like a monkey and my friend and I have discussed this. But we are both sure it wasn't.
