I'll believe there are Bigfoots(Bigfeets?) when someone drives into a town with a dead one roped to his hood.

Believe it or not, my dad swears up and down he saw bigfoot, or something similar when he was younger.

He was out in his 71 Chevelle one night and he'd stopped on the side of a deserted road to take a leak. This road was on a levy with swamps on either side of it. The thing walked up the levy, onto the road, and through his car's headlights which is how he was able to see it. From the distance and its appearance he said it must've been around 8 feet tall covered in gray fair. And it stank. A lot. Smelled like a dog that had been rolling dead stuff but ten times worse. Anyway, it walked across the levy and back down into the swamps.

He got back in his car, put it in reverse, and backed up a half a mile, then accelerated up to 120 mph, figuring if it came back a Chevelle doing 120 should be more than enough to kill it.

I wasn't there, but he really believes it. And no, he's not nor ever was a drunk or a drug user. Neiter of us really know what it was, just that it was big, weird, potentially dangerous.

I'm one who thinks that the existance of Bigfoot is a possibility.

I have been an enthusiast in the Bigfoot phenomena since the early 1970’s when my Mom took me to a theater that was showing a Bigfoot documentary, which is where the Patterson film was first introduced to the public. I wouldn’t say I am a 100% believer in Bigfoot, but I give the possibility a very good chance, maybe 80%-85%. Some of the stories that first sparked my interest, I now give little credibility to, however there are many reports from very credible people that I have to give high probability of being the real thing, including Police, Rangers, Forest Service workers.
Up until 2001 my interest did not pass beyond just reading books, articles and reports. I have always wanted to do some active exploration myself, but it’s not something I would do alone. My wife loves the outdoors but prefers camping in the more developed campgrounds well away from the Bigfoot hotspots. But then one day I discovered a friend at work also was a Bigfoot enthusiast and together we said we ain’t getting any younger and if we were going to fulfill our dream of looking for Bigfoot, we’d better do it now. Since then, we have gone on several expeditions, and also gone to some gatherings with other enthusiast and witnesses. I tell you, you can read someone’s story and its one thing, but sit down and talk with them about it, and you get a whole new perspective. Put a face with the story, and see how normal and believable the people really are and you come away with a whole new outlook. These aren’t toothless gomers in pickup trucks, these are- a man and two teenage boys fishing who observe a Bigfoot for several minutes from their boat, a mom and her son returning from the store who see one crossing the road, a retired couple who have seen one on their property and have heard it’s late night screams in the surrounding hills. A Doctor who while leaving an Oregon hiking trail to relieve himself, spots a Bigfoot observing his family who are waiting for him on the trail. I have listen to their stories first hand and looked into their eyes and saw their honesty. That means allot more to me than a piece of disputed film, or a fantastical one-dimension story in a book.

The skeptics ask, “why are they so elusive, and why haven’t we found bones?” I have spent allot of time in the Northwest wilderness in my life; hunting, fishing, hiking, horseback riding, or just plain camping, and I have only once seen a bear, and Washington has a black bear population of about 40, 000. I have never seen a cougar and it’s numbers are also in the thousands. Heck, during most of my hunting trips I would have a hard time proving male members of the deer family exist. My hypostasis - If I was to ask someone to give up their job for one year and do nothing but search for bear bones to bring back to me, I would bet they would fail. How much less likely it would be if the population was not 40, 000, but maybe a couple of hundred or maybe dozens?

During one of our expeditions in 2001, (we average two a year) we have had one very possible encounter. from our remote campsite three of us heard loud vocalizations at 2:00 AM. The sound we heard was real, it was very real. I have never heard any thing like it before.

Why is it that none of the track castings seem to come from the same type creature?

"Alex McRae is a columnist for the Newnan Times-Herald. He's written three stories about these sightings...a large hairy person walking upright. He doesn't doubt the eyewitness reports."

Large, hairy, upright walking men in the woods are quite common in Newnan. They often carry 12 gauges.
