What? ;D I must have missed that conversation. As far as Bigfoot goes I happen to think not everyone is seeing some jack_a$$ in suit out there. If you look back at the history of Bigfoot and the sightings they stretch back all the way to the days of the Native American's. "Bigfoot" as it's known here has also been spotted all over the world as well and it's called by many different names. Here's a link to a site that I think people might find interesting. It has a lot on Bigfoot as well as other "creatures". www.cryptomundo.com/cryptozoo-newsMy belief is that it is some species of "ape" that has not been discovered yet. There is a lot of this planet believe it or not that has yet to be explored throughly and every time I turn on the news there seems to be some new kind of animal long thought dead or insect being discovered.

I think it's possible, although the species might have died (or be dying) out by now, seeing as now one has come forth with a sighting in some time.

Here's an interesting link. www.bfro.net/GDB/Bigfoot is one of those things I'd like to believe in. Part of me says bull, but another part says all of these people can be seeing things. I spoke with an anthropology professor after class about this a few months ago. He found the whole bigfoot thing quite intriguing. He said that it was unlikely, but not impossible. He brought up the fact that 10 people who witnessed the same event will give you 10 different stories. He thought (and I agree) that 90%+ of the sightings were bears, hoaxes, and other honest mis-ID's. However, a small percent simply couldn't be explained. These are the one that I find so interesting.

or maybe it's just a bunch of people tryig to get here fifteen minutes of fame. I've never truly understood this explanation for sightings like this, UFOs and anything else unexplained. What "fame" comes with any of this? The majority of the time these people are laughed at and ridiculed for what they've seen or captured on film. What's the first thing that comes to most peoples minds when they hear about this stuff? "Aw, he was drunk" "The guys nuts" "Their just looking to get rich!" "It's fake" I can see if someone comes out and claims they were the ones behind something trying to make a name for themselves that way. Like those two old British guys who claimed they were the ones behind all of the Crop Circles! Ok, so I'm supposed to find it more plausible that a couple of old farts with some rope and old pieces of plywood made all of these simple and then later on elaborate designs in a field in the middle of night without any lights! Not to mention the fact that these crop formations were appearing all over the world and continue to this day. Some of the crops even show signs of being changed at the genetic level. Yes, I don't take this stuff lightly but I also don't buy everything hook, line and sinker either. Sure a lot of it probably is people either misinterpreting things they see or hoaxes but a lot of it isn't either. A lot of these things have also been around for hundreds of years as well so these aren't just things that popped up over night. Who's to say that with the world in the state it's in there aren't primates migrating around the world looking for food and shelter. This could explain a lot of these sightings also.

haryy don't get you collor ruffled my friend. this wasn't a attack on you. I think you can explain all these thing that people want to belive in. You are right that my statement can't explain all of it but it does cover some of it. I thin k everything has a logical explanation you just have to put it all together. Example, most people who claim that they were abducted basically claim that a big eyes,mall mouth alien put them on a cold table and probed them. Could this be a alien abduction of a person remembering there own birth. Why must the most unlikely explaination be the one people want to believe. Maybe there everyday life is on the boring side.

No ruffled collar here.....it's just wrinkled and that's because I'm to lazy to iron it! ;D Sorry if my post above came off that way though. I wasn't really directing that at you but you said something that seems to be the most common "excuse" people use to write this stuff off right away. Lately it seems a lot of animals have been popping up that were either thought to be extinct or are something they didn't even know exsisted. Which is amazing in itself because look at how much smaller the world has gotten with all of the new technology. So I'm willing to believe it's a little more than possible this creature exsists along with the "Loch Ness Monster" and some others.

The guy (thing) does exist !! I've stumbled upon him in the "Wild Canadian woods" a couple of years ago !! (actually a wooded trail near my home) And I have pics to prove it ...... ;D

Oh, man Stefana those pics are priceless. You should make a PS thread and post all of your pics togther. Don't let those get burried in here. I think more people would enjoy seeing them.
I think Havana is right. If Stefana ran into one then it's case closed for me. The do exsist and they don't like guys in Indy gear! ;D ;D

Thanks Harry but, as I mentionned, these are a couple years old (posted on another forum back then). I didn't have my WESTED back then and the rest of the gear was not even "close enough", ...see what I mean ? (for those "Bigfoot" pics especially, no bag, green pants ! ) so I'm waiting to get new pics with my updated gear before making a PS thread. Although I don't have photoshop and don't have many "altered" pics, I should probably make a "in gear" thread instead.

Those pics of Stefana's seal the deal. Scientists have recently learned that in Sasquatchese "RRR!" means "Hey, I spent all day on that :-Xing camp, dude!" This seems to be consistent with the detailed photos and the scenario that took place.

Thanks a bunch "Blues"...Glad you enjoyed it ! Actually "RRR...!" just means :"Hey...!" His next sentences "RRRRRRRHUH?" means :"What were you doing in my house I've worked so :-Xing hard to build ?" and "RRHUUUH!" Means : "That's it, get out'a here punk...!" So those scientists were pretty close ! ... ;D ;D
