Bigfoot

[Peaceisenough]

Anyone believe in this?

I think there would be more proof by now. All the 'proof' so far is grainy videos. Its 2025, someone would have a clear video by now surely?

This is kind of my view too. I love unwind we a great paranormal thread or podcast. On that note Yeti by the BBC is worth listening to. (No spoilers here.)

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.

I wouldn't be surprised. Skeletons of huge humanoid creatures have been found and I have read reports that some of them had teeth described as 'all double ones', top and bottom i.e. all molars.

I am simultaneously a huge sceptic when it comes to ANY extraordinary claims (UFOS, ghosts, ESP, Nessie, Bigfoot - you name it and I’ll pooh pooh it) and also completely fascinated by anything unexplained/paranormal.

I live in a Sasquatch 'hot spot'. I can't say I believe but that said, many of the accounts of sightings are very interesting.

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

Can you share any of them?

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.

Oh well with that name….😁

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.

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.

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.

He's living with the Hendersons

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!).

@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.

Their real,Dave channel and channel 5 says so

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.

So many rabbit holes, so little time!

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.

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 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!

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 ...

Yep. Moneymaker is an asshole and an opportunist IMO.
