Six reported Bigfoot sightings in northeast Ohio within four days spark cryptid 'flap' speculation
Fox News ^ | y Sarah Rumpf-Whitten

A series of social media posts from a cryptid-focused podcast has ignited speculation about widespread Bigfoot sightings in northeast Ohio, with enthusiasts pointing to what they describe as a concentrated burst of activity.

The Bigfoot Society, a podcast and online community dedicated to collecting eyewitness accounts of Sasquatch encounters, says it had received six separate reports between March 6 and March 10 in wooded areas near Mantua and Garrettsville, southeast of Cleveland.

The group has described the cluster as a possible "flap," a term used in cryptozoology for multiple sightings within a short time span.

"It’s normal for there to be Bigfoot sightings all over the United States, but it’s not normal to have multiple sightings in a small area within a short number of days," Jeremiah Byron, host of the Bigfoot Society Podcast, told Fox 8.

...

"So, if you're in this area, keep your eyes open and maybe your doors locked because there could be a Bigfoot in the same general vicinity." said one poster in the group, which has 282,000 members.

According to a flurry of recent posts in the group, several Bigfoot hunters claimed to have "locked eyes with a nine-foot-tall, brown-haired Sasquatch."

"How do they year after year avoid all of the game cameras?"

Some bigfoot experts believe, I kid you not, bigfoot is an inter-dimensional being. That's also why we never find corpses. Apparently when they die, according to bigfoot experts, they de-materialize just like in your favorite Star Trek episode or B-movie.

The science changes so quickly it's difficult to keep up.

Nephilim from the Bible. Giants of renown.

Genesis 6:4 is one of those verses many people recognize immediately and yet few feel confident explaining. It mentions giants (mysterious figures called the Nephilim), unions between the “sons of God” and the “daughters of men,” and the rise of mighty men whose names echoed through the ancient world. All of this unfolds just before one of Scripture’s most sobering judgments: the Flood.

According to some, they can see the infrared light emitted by these cameras. It is like a bright beacon to them, and they can easily avoid such cameras.

There’s a story about a USAF F-16 pilot over Afghanistan who saw something huge digging in a wheat field there on his thermal sensor. He “painted” it with his infrared scanner, and the thing jumped up on two legs, flailed its arms around and covered its eyes like it was blinded.

I thought I saw the Tooth Fairy once. It was just my mom. She had forgotten.

It’s always seemed much more likely to me than ET visiting us in their flying saucers; but many more people seem to believe the ET stuff.

The years of reported sightings from people who appear to be reliable witnesses would have me inclined to think something is out there. However, with all of the digital photo and drone technology available now, one would think that eventually someone would capture a clear image of whatever it is. All of the photos so far, except perhaps the controversial Patterson video, are blurry or far distant images. Granted the creatures appear very elusive, but someone eventually should be able to get a convincing image if the creature exists.

Maybe they are related to Nephilim, maybe not.

Could be avatars of some type for demonic entities?

there might be creatures smart enough to avoid us.

Every year they are discovering new species.

I have chatted with a few AI just to see how far they are on their way to becoming AGI but all claim that there can be no Big Foot or Skunk Apes which means there can be no AGI.

She says you don’t have to be close. When they are in the vicinity,the odor is there.

Think Baron Trump. He is a de Facto giant of a fellow

Dragging “the flood” into the discussion is not really necessary

Same thing happened in Gary Indiana several years ago to try and lure in tourists!
