Quote HistoryQuoted:
Nope....I was born the year that was filmed and though I can tell myself it's fake, it indelibly etched a visceral fear into my head and to this day, I just can't watch it. It just creeps the hell out of me. It's easy to pick it apart now, but it was pretty well done in that "Blair Witch" way for its time, and very effectively traumatized this suburban 8 year old back in the 70s. Then as an adult, you read about the cop who actually ran a bicycle into a grizzly bear in the exact same way you feared running into a bigfoot. |

I just love all the experts in here know for certain this is a man in a fucking suit walking across a dry creek bed. Something that science has neither proved nor disproved in 50 years, lol. Where's the suit? Where's the asshole who wore the suit? How are you so certain?

I like the guy who says it can't be man because the proportions of arms to legs in the film are wrong. I'm guessing the guy has never seen the joke werewolf hands mounted on stick that you hold in your own hands? Sure you can do that! But how does it increase the length of your humerus to match? I remember reading somewhere about the arm proportions are not human like. |

I didnt say they burned it, i asked you, assuming they burned it, if nobody can show you the suit, therefore its real? Seriously? None of the top tier studios "tried and failed", that absolutely false. They got one, unnamed idiot to say it wasnt possible, and a guy at disney to say they couldnt do it. But it is possible. Planet of the apes was released the same year as this film, amd it wasnt made by disney. Those apes look way better. The unnamed execs were not makeup specialists. Real special effects wizards like rich baker say its a guy in a bad hair suit. The guys who did the apes for 2001 and planet of the apes also said they could do it. If i filmed something fake, and tried to make money off it being real, i wouldnt get caught with the props i used. |

Not really. Strange things happen, coincidences, etc. events line up funny after the fact. Sure.

Who goes in the woods? Lots and lots of guys with guns. And bows. And traps. Nobody ever bagged one? Nobody? Nobody ever found one drowned, crushed bu a tree, burned in a forest fire? No effing way. I am not going to sit here and say that Bigfoot is real, because I honestly doubt that there is anything like Bigfoot, as described and imagined in the popular mind, precisely for the reasons you lay out. However, that doesn't mean that there is nothing behind all this crap, either. Day after tomorrow, some guy could pull something out of a river, and we'll all be going "Damn... There is something that looks like a Bigfoot... How the hell did we miss that, all these years...?". Because, that's how this shit winds up happening--Go look at a lot of the so-called "scientific consensus" crap down the years, and marvel at the arrogance of the various people who've pronounced the conventional wisdom about things like the channeled scablands in Eastern Washington or continental drift. Hell, the evidence could be right in front of us, and we've just missed the significance of it all. I mean, how many times do we run DNA analysis on what we find in the woods? You say "Well, where are they shitting...?", and the answer might well be that their scat is pretty close to indistinguishable from bear scat, without doing the actual analysis. And, how many times do the guys in the labs go "Hey, this sample isn't normal... Let's throw it out..."? If you're keyed up to look for something you expect, how open are you likely to be to noticing stuff that's completely out of left field, evidence-wise? Whether it's just some weird little tic of the human mind that turns anomalies of sight and sound into interpretations of large, hairy bipeds, or there actually are such things, there's enough continuity to these stories to make it reasonable that there is something behind them all--Even if it is only a mental tic we've all got that goes "Hey, that branch moving over there... Bigfoot!!!". Either way, the question is interesting, if only as an aspect of human psychology and behavior. |

Right now its unexplainable! but! You can look at known facts of that time period! as I already stated, they were just not capable of creating a suite to that level of detail. and no one can explain the boobs! without going into detail, I spent a few years about the same time as that film, about 50 miles east; of The films lication.

Theres STILL no civilization near the habitat of the mountain gorilla. Why wont you believe a guy who was known to associate with a known Bigfoot huckster, who showed people the suit and admitted to wearing it as early as 1968? He walks EXACTLY like the thing that was filmed. Ask yourself why you discount his confession in favor of the far more unlikely explanation. Youre discounting Occams razor simply because you want to. |

Let me get this right. We have a breeding population of 7 to 8 foot tall apes spread over a large part of the US and out foraging for food every day. The human population density and road density is such the the furthest road miles you can get in the US from a McDonalds is 145 miles (and that was a few years ago) but not one of these apes has ever been run over, captured, shot, a carcass found or an unambiguous picture taken. Hmmmmm.....
How many game cams, security cams, traffic cams, dash cams and other cams are recording 24 hours a day in this country? 10s of thousands? 100s of thousands? How many people are wandering around the woods with a cell phone for the last 10 to 15 years but not one clear picture even though that picture or pictures would be worth a fortune. |

Arfcom would come into my mom's basement, try to pick me up and carry me out on their shoulders like a hero, give up, and call the Fire Dept. to break out a wall to get me out with a crane, and it would be great. GREAT! It's either a bigfoot, and I'd be a hero, or its a guy in a monkey suit and I'd be charged with murder, but at least we'd all KNOW for sure. |
