A perfect example of what to look out for in photos. Cheers  |

I'm sorry.
It's probably ALL over the internet by now.
Thought it was yours personally---silly me! |

Should this be in the cryptozoology?
I kinda wanted to just talk about anything and everything and needed an excuse to.
Well anyway here's where I submitted my sighting and I want to talk.

Tang malow - I remember seeing a similar prog (or the same one?) about a wildlife photographer hding up in the mountains close to where those recordings were made (and they were bloody spine chilling at that - despite being sat in my living room, in the middle of a city, I felt compelled to have a large one after hearing them) anyway, this photographer bloke interviewed wise old geezer who saw them every day, looked at twisted tree trunks, found boulder in road, and then.....bugger all.
Similarly, they mentioned Bigfoot turds: the one in question was about two feet long, apparently longer than the human colon can cope with, then the usual thing happened; every time they get some form of biological sample, be it hair, turd or earwax, it's sent away for analysis, and then we NEVER hear of it again.
Apart, that is, from the odd mention, usually an unattributed quote, to the effect that it's not anything they know about already. A prime example of this was Karl Shuker (for whom I have the utmost respect, may I add): on his "who Wants to be a Millionaire?" appearence, Tarrant asked him about the Yeti; Dr Shuker mentioned hair samples recently found, that didn't match any known animal. As this is a quiz show, Shuker understandably didn't go any deeper as he had money to win. My point is this though: if the scientific community want proof of existence, and hair samples are then supplied that don't match anything they know about, why don't they therefore accept the existence of something they don't know about and admit to it? (it is, after all, their bloody test!)
Oh, I do like a rant of a morning... |

Let me slip into fanboy mode here: gotta be the Hulk, because the madder he gets, the stronger and more invulnerable he gets. I would think Thor or Odin should be at the top (even over DC's Superman) being a deity and all, but for some reason it doesn't work out that way. Maybe Shazam should, since he's got all those gods' power at his disposal.
The should lessen superheroes powers to make them more believable and give them actual challenges. If a guy's bulletproof and can fly at like Mach 12 or something, where's the suspense? |

The guy lives in my suburb, but drives to Wisconsin to look for Bigfoot? He could save himself several hours travel by just
going into the swamps north of Cloquet... there have been
footprints and sightings there for over 30 years!
And I don't think West Nile Virus has reached that far north, yet...

About half a dozen previous Bigfoot threads are now merged in this one.
I renamed it 'Bigfoot in America' to distinguish it from a couple of other threads. (However, this thread excludes Beckjord's thread, which was a law unto itself!)
This merging has reduced the number of Bigfoot threads to five!

Why we love Cryptids
Doesn't say much new, but I liked this quote: | Quote: | | "Some Bigfoot people are like Elvis people," says Mr. Pyle. "It's not a matter of them not having both oars in the water. They don't even have a boat." |
Another link: Santa Clarita Valley (Where's that, exactly?) Some hoary bigfoot tales. | Quote: | The third known sighting was by two teen-age boys. I point out here that these sightings coincided with the birth of the drug culture here in the SCV. The two boys described a huge male Sasquatch to a tee, but then added that he was wearing a blue bell around his neck.

Bigfoot in Texas?
Several stories and reports here. | Quote: | | Woolheater himself claims to have seen a Bigfoot in 1994. On the way home to Dallas from New Orleans with his wife on a moonless night, his headlights caught a tall, hairy figure walking beside the road. "It was grayish in the light, and it was moving in the same direction we were moving, so we just saw the back of it, but it was definitely moving," he recounts. "And we both, simultaneously, looked at each other and said, 'Did you just see what I just saw?'" He wanted to turn back, but his wife, then girlfriend, did not. He hasn't seen another Bigfoot since that day. |

Thanks for the Map links, Sureshot - I love maps!
I have a US Street Map CD sent to me by a pal over there, but I seem to have worn it out - my computer will no longer read it!  |

|
|
|
| Quote: | "I've gone from being a raving skeptic to being curiously receptive," says Robert Benson, director of the Center for Bioacoustics at Texas A&M. He appears in a new documentary, Sasquatch: Legend Meets Science, critiquing taped Bigfoot calls. While many of those recordings "could be human" (i.e. hoaxes), others left him puzzled.
In Sasquatch, which airs in January on Discovery, a small cadre of scientists pore over audio, video and the Holy Grail of molds called the Skookum Cast, a plaster impression taken in 2000 from a muddy Mount St. Helens meadow that purports to capture a Bigfoot sitting on his oversized derriére.
Sasquatch producer Doug Hajicek is mum on the film's "important revelations" but is confident viewers will tune in. "I'll tell you why this fascinates people," he says "We're the only bipeds (animals who walk on two feet) here. Imagine the primordial fear a competing biped species produces."

Full Story
I hope our US members report back on this! |

Legitimate scientific study of legend gains backing of top primate experts
By Theo Stein
Denver Post Environment Writer
Sunday, January 05, 2003 - EDMONDS, Wash. - After enduring decades of ridicule, Bigfoot researchers are enjoying support from some of the world's most respected scientists in their efforts to prove the hulking creatures of legend are no myth.
The persistence of reported sightings of Bigfoot-type creatures in North America and elsewhere has convinced leading researchers on primates - including Jane Goodall, made famous by her studies of chimpanzees in Tanzania - to call for something never seriously considered before: a legitimate scientific study to determine whether the greatest apes that ever lived persist in the world's moist mountainous regions.
