There was a long bigfoot thread about a month ago. Apparently there are a lot of believers here.

It's all BS.  It is an entertainment "industry" but is not real.

Example -
When someone steps on the ground, their foot does not sculpt out the surface vegetation, no matter how BIG their foot is.  This "print" was dug out by someone.

I think the reason is because the guy made a cast of it and it pulled out the vegetation.

you can see all the vegetation stuck in the cast

A large percentage of the population in NEO have never experienced normal bear encounters/sightings like in other parts of the country where it's much more common.  So, it's always a samsquanch.


Heck, I almost never see bears at my place in WV and it's in the middle of the Monongahela National Forest.  I've got eight security cameras around my property and they have never once in 11 years recorded a bear.  But I don't have bird or deer feeders that attract them.
I've seen exactly one in the wild while trout fishing back on the river in Smoke Hole.

Now, the Allegheny national Forest in PA is crawling with bears. I saw more in one backpacking trip there than I've seen in 30 years in WV.

I won't call them liars.....but as far as I can get on board is, that they believe they saw a bigfoot.  It doesn't help that there are professional liars attached to every supernatural/crazy thing, bigfoot, aliens, ghosts...etc.  If there has been a show about it on the History channel in the last 15 years....I'm super skeptical.

What's that saying, extortionary claims require extraordinary evidence?  Just saying, I saw it...trust me, doesn't sway me.

tracks are physical evidence

Which tracks have been proved to be real?

See the members here who claim that it’s impossible to prove Bigfoot exists due to it being an inter dimensional being that doesn’t need a breeding population, doesn’t leave scat, can evade all methods of detection including thermal, and die in a separate dimension as to not leave bodies laying around are doing more harm than good to the “Bigfoot is real” cause.

The absolute leaps and moving of goal posts that occur when folks ask for proof is mind blowing. Everything from you can’t prove it, to the world isn’t ready so I won’t offer evidence to back up my claims

agree and some of those were cast way before this was even discussed in Bigfoot research .

No one was talking about dermal ridges  until the 80's but some tracks cast in the early 70's show them .
no hoaxers were out making intricate tracks out in the woods like that in the late 60's early 70's

Not really. My understanding is the dermal ridges first appeared on some at a time before science even recognized - or at least studied in detail - their existence in the animal world. I mean, they were there on the feet of some primates but science had not made that big a deal of them at that and before that time. My understanding is they were first noticed when some scientists were revisiting some old casts that were taken.  But yeah, there are a ton of casts out there that are clearly hoaxes too.

i will agree that until a body or skeletal   remains are  found or killed the entire scientific community will never accept it as fact . No video evidence or trail cam pics will ever do .
