...but, heck, it's Saturday night.
Has anyone here been interested in Bigfoot/Sasquatch, or seen one, or know someone who claims to have seen one?
You must be very rich.
I’m aware of a lot of the Native American people having legends about something like Bigfoot.
I’ve heard of them throwing rocks, knocking on trees and houses, and shaking trees...
I don’t know if I believe or not; but I’m impressed with the large number of testimonies, many from what seem like very reasonable people.
I think Arkansas is where the famous film that led to new interest came from some years ago.
Thanks to everyone who responded. I’ll keep watching this thread, but have a ‘family thing’ going on for the next few days.
The original film is supposedly much sharper and clearer than the bad copies circulating around the Internet, but the reels have been lost (stolen) for a long time.
You should read the oldest accounts.
The stories still resonate with me almost 50 years later.
I’m not fearful of the deep woods, just respectful and - more than anything - extremely mindful of certain ‘tells’ which might prompt me to leave a certain area.
I have no interest in becoming a Bigfoot scientific investigator - or having my own encounter - but I certainly see the allure in trying to solve such a mystery, including whether this mystery is in any way related to any of the Missing 411 cases.
(tin-hat off)
My dad and uncle. Phantom Canyon, near Canon City, Colorado in the mid-seventies. The railroad was put in after a gold strike nearby, but the name of the canyon itself was given by the Southern Cheyenne... The railroaders popularized it.
My dad and uncle were hunting deer and they said they saw a bigfoot up there just off the road. They stared at it for about ten seconds, and then it walked off across the creek bed. Dad said they didn’t even get out of the truck. Said they went back to the camp, packed up, and left. We went back a couple of times when we wanted to take the LONG way to Cripple Creek from Pueblo, and I know the exact spot where he said it happened. We never camped there, and we never hunted there. Dad started hunting up near Salida and Gunnison after that.
“Jerry Williams - Choctaw from Oklahoma who tracks them. He believes they are actually demons. “
Not unusual. The Choctaw supposedly fought a war with group of them in 1855.

Williams has spent a few decades going around to the pow wows of lots of tribes and hears the same story - big foots and indians were at war all across north america before Europeans showed up. ‘Course its all oral history at this point.
That weird dude from Austim?
I’m a shit kicker from east Texas.
“That weird dude from Austim?”
I think he lives in Oklahoma.
We are mixed up. There is a strange cat from Austin that posts on here. Sorry.

If you want, I know some things. Up to you, won’t believe me anyways. I know what I know...
Sounds freaking crazy I know.
The round table of knowledge
whatever
Saw something that was not supposed to be seen. Call me crazy. I don’t care. I know what I saw.
They are nephilim from the bible.
Monsters are real. Stay armed.
The only thing I saw that vaguely resembled a Bigfoot seemed to actually be just tree branches...
