Bigfoot Conference to start in 10 minutes

“3rd sample was opossum which they said nay have been because the BF ate a opossum.”

So, by their science, I would have cow DNA if I ate a burger?

LOL! I am glad though that the snow white teeth show that Bigfoot does brush after dining on his opossum, My Dentist Father In-law must hang that picture in his office as an “after picture” to his teeth whitening procedure.

“Tapping foot and looking for photos on web...”

I saw them on www.bigfootforums.com, but because of the high valume of traffic it appears they have limited access to just current members. Incedently 95% of the members suspected this was a fraud from the start, just because of Biscardi’s reputation.

I read this post and thought, “this sounds just like rrrod.” LMAO.

I saved that picture of Kerry and Bigfoot from a thread on FR during the 2004 election.

I wish I could take the credit but it was a much more creative freeper than myself. I just stole it.

That’s a good point, but I have been backpacking in the Rockies and in other vast areas of wilderness. You might think stumbling upon bones would be easy, but it is not. Just the sheer vastness of it makes it highly improbable. The wilderness does not have hikers and walkers all over the place.

It’s hard to explain unless you have been out there. I went hiking once and didn’t even see one other person for days and days. Finally, we saw a couple of backpackers coming down the mountain that we were going up.

Could this hilarious movie: THE SASQUATCH GANG be the inspiration of these Georgia Boys stunt? Lots of similarities.

Plot: 2 slackers who need money fast fake Bigfoot tracks.

Here are some clips. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KMt_J3_3U9Q...feature=related

If I got an authentic photo of an authentic bigfoot, I wouldnt sned it in to them for their one million dollar prize.

This is why, from their contest rules: " All submitted entries become the property of Sponsor"

Yeah right. So that they could make millions more off of your photo.

If I got a real photo, I'm copyrighting it, and make millions off of it. (this is what Roger Patterson did with his famous movie footage of bigfoot from 1967)

wouldnt sned

Typo: wouldnt send

Well, that's a photoshop job--and a fairly decent one. When you blow it up and lighten it, it's obvious that the image has been tampered with. The edges around the body are too sharp (particularly the head), there are no facial features to speak of, and the light and shadows on the beast look exactly like someone used "lighting effects" or "inner glow" on Photoshop to match those of the hunter.

Nice try, though.

I can’t honestly vouch for the authenticity of the photo except I know it came out of a book about logging on Vancouver Island printed before “photoshop” was invented. While there were (and are) many other ways to fake a photo such as that, photoshop wasn’t one of them and all the “clues” that purport to prove otherwise are just . . . I don’t know, wishful thinking perhaps?

Okay, I might as well jump in with both feet.

I have seen a Bigfoot. At a distance of about forty feet and I can state with no reservation that it wasn’t some guy in a monkey suit nor was it a bear. I’ve seen many bears in the woods over the years and this wasn’t one. I was sighting in a rifle at a “range” in the mountains near here. I had on my ear muffs and as I laid down to get behind the rifle I heard a shrill noise behind me. My first thought was an elk with a sore throat but when I turned over to see what it was I saw a tall, hairy figure standing on the other side of the road from me. To say I was shocked would be an understatement but since he (I think it was a “he”) made no move toward me I decided he didn’t want to harm me. Let’s face it, if he really wanted to do me in he could have done it without letting me know he was anywhere around. At any rate, he stood there for awhile while I laid there on the ground. Then he just disappeared into the brush so smoothly it seemed almost supernatural. By this time I was so jumpy I couldn’t have hit a barn if I were locked in it so I put my stuff away and went over to see if there were any footprints or tufts of hair on the brush. Finding none, I went home.

Now, all of you who so vehemently disparage anyone who says they believe in Bigfoot can go ahead and have all the fun you want. You weren’t there and you didn’t see it. Like Thomas, you won’t believe it either; not until you are forced by circumstances to do so.

Let’s see, Nomex suit? Check. Gloves? Check. Boots and hood? Check. I’m ready, flame away.

You've got me all wrong, bro. I am of the opinion that bigfoot could very well be out there--I just think that particular photo was photoshopped. I looked at it carefully in PS and those are my conclusions based on my knowledge of the software and how it works and the tell-tale signs I saw. If you'll give me more info on the book it came out of, I can probably hunt it down to find an original. My guess is that the original had a photo of a gigantic grizzly bear that had been killed by the hunter. A good graphic artist could easily turn that into a bigfoot looking thing.

Anyway, as long as we're confessing, I had a bizarre experience while camping once that scared the dickens out of me. I was camping in the Grand Canyon of Pennsylvania with a friend of mine about 10 years ago. There was no one else around for about 5 miles, I'd say. We saw no one the entire hike out to the hilltop we camped on. In the middle of the night, we started hearing this hideous cry--it started out as a low warble and increased in volume and pitch for about 20 seconds. The critter repeated the cry about a dozen times and my friend and I were going through the animals it could possibly be, checking each off. Not a bobcat. Not a wolf. Not a bear. Not a rutting buck. Not a cougar. etc.

We didn't have any weapons on us besides a large knife and a can of mace (these were the days before I had firearms) and decided that the only way we were leaving the tent was if a claw came through it. Anyway, eventually the cries stopped and we slept through until the morning. We packed up and got out of there, though--both of us were pretty spooked.

The next day, we saw a couple of wild turkeys and thought perhaps they had been making the noise. But when I described and repeated the cries (as best I could) to a guy who was a lot more familiar with the woods than me, he couldn't place it. Definitely not a wild turkey, he said.

Years later, I went to a website that had some purported bigfoot calls recorded on it--very similar to what I heard. And, I also checked bfro.org's sighting tracker and noticed that at least one recorded sighting had taken place in the Grand Canyon of PA.

Therefore, I am anything but skeptical when it comes to Mr. Foot.

[applpie]

but what is the rationale behind the hoax? actually i would really love it if it weren’t. what fun it would be. then we could say to those high and mighty academics—next we look for Jesus, the flood, Mt. Sinai, the ark and all those things you say don’t exist even though the evidence is right in front of your nose.
