Brian Vike believes he has photographic evidence that sasquatches exist.

No, he doesn’t have a photo of a sasquatch, but he does have a photo of a very large footprint.

The Houston, B.C.-based UFO researcher has developed a soft spot for the mythical furry creatures, and got an excited call last Sunday from the remote community of Moricetown.

“I made the 90-minute drive up there, and I was amazed at what I saw,” Vike told The Province. “I’ve been on some of those turkey runs, when there’s nothing to see.

“But there were footprints, 17-and-a-half inches in length, that went on for a long ways.

“The stride is three feet six inches from the front of the foot to the back of the heel.”

More tellingly for Vike, the snow around the prints was untouched.

“There were no tracks around to show that somebody was trying to pull a gag.”

Vike, who tracks UFO sightings, got even more excited when he found blood in one of the prints.

“I’m sending it off for testing in Saskatchewan and Ohio. We also have a hair sample.”

Sasquatches are allegedly ape-like beings that apparently are quite shy, since they don’t seem to interact with humans much.

Like the yeti and the ogopogo, sightings are frequently reported, but no conclusive proof of their existence has ever been found.

On the other hand, conclusive proof that they do not exist does not exist.

Here is a painting of someone's navel.

They may be very good at hiding when they're alive, but if they exist, surely one corpse-- or even one bone-- would have been found somewhere?

Hmmm..., where’s the ruler in the picture, or a pencil or a cel phone, for size?

Besides, the print looks a bit funny. I would like to see the whole series, a long line of prints, at least.

What is that, three toes or what?

[Sudetenland]

Yeah, but did he find the internet?

[MediaMole]

It looks like someone threw a cat in the snow.

If a sasquatch did step there, how come there isn’t any evidence of that branch being crushed?

Neighborly ping...

You said — “If a sasquatch did step there, how come there isn’t any evidence of that branch being crushed?”

Yeah, I know what you mean, if it was already there. However, I think that was his lame attempt at giving some indication of “size” — which actually fails, miserably to do so. That guy can’t figure that out. So, that’s why I said something about the ruler or pencil or cel phone... LOL...

Some people accept far less evidence than this as proof of a 6000 year old earth.

[xmission]

I thought the same thing until I realized that the branch probably fell from the pheonix nest directly above the print a few minutes after harry left.

[Star Traveler]

I thought that one was already discredited....

Haven’t you read up on that one?

[Sylvester McMonkey McBean]

If they did exist, seems to me that Boone & Crockett would have a scoring method for them. Just sayin’.

[Canadian Outrage]

Hey neighbour!! Good to “see” you. CO

What was Hillary doing up there?

[Canadian Outrage]

I’m not too excited about this being a “Sasquatch”. I have listened to this my entire life in B.C. Also, the Ogopogo that they talk about is supposedly in the Lake that I live beside. They have had night dives with cameras the whole bit. Books written. Sightings. All to no avail. Don’t believe a word of it myself. CO

Better yet, where’s the flattened snow at the bottom of the print?

Its a hole in the snow of some kind, but it is most definately not a footprint.

A persons got to be nuts to buy this. Now, I have seen mermaids, but it’s tough to get a photo of one of those wonderful creatures.

But then, I am still trying to figure out things about God. I mean, why on earth would he have cursed this planet by creating democrats? I could have understood creating a couple hundred of them, as slaves, for cleaning out our zoo’s, but they have no other useful value.

[Star Traveler]

Yeah, at first I wanted to say it sorta looked like it was “dug out” by something (maybe a person’s hand). That’s one reason why I said I would like to see the “series” of steps, and then see if there was consistency...

As it stands, right now, it’s not clear at all...
