Bigfoot on the History Channel

You must be kidding, right?

[Welcome2thejungle]

I’m just reporting on what I saw on the History Channel. Watch it and judge for yourself.

Dude put down the remote and get outside for a while. I can assure you that there is no such thing as a Sasquatch because if there was I would of already killed one.

No. You are posting
what we call a VANITY.
Get a clue, Sasquatch.

Why wouldn’t the carcass or remains of any one of them have been found?

[Welcome2thejungle]

I have no idea. Perhaps they bury them. I, too, am a skeptic, but I also see some compelling evidence as well. More than the films, it is hard for me to believe ALL of the eyewitnesses are lying through their teeth.

I also strongly believe that Jesus walked on water, turned water into wine, and raised people from the dead, and rose on the third day. It is hard for me to believe that all of those hundreds perhaps thousands of witnesses were lying as well.

I am not necessarily a believer in BF, but I am willing to consider the evidence.

There could be various reasons. The Sasquatch is said to be an intelligent creature. When they die, which is not all that often, their remains may be buried by a fellow Sasquatch. They are also very shy and remote. If the remains are not buried (as I suspect they are), then they could be so decayed by the time they are found they could easily be mistaken for a bear or other large animal.

While I've never personally seen a Sasquatch, I've read and listened to enough testimony from sane and credible people to believe they exist.

“There is much controversy surrounding this videotape.”

No there isn’t. The man in the constume has been known for years and if you see him walk (as National Geo Channel did) you would know instantly it was him. He admitted it years ago and still is irritated the film makers reneged on their 1,000 dollar promise. Bigfoot is a joke.

[AEMILIUS PAULUS]

Honk if you are one of Bigfoot’s love children?

[fso301]

Dude, stay away from the mushrooms when walking in the woods.

[Welcome2thejungle]

Well how do we know he isn’t lying? I saw the program on the History Channel and saw no one claiming to be the man in the suit.

Interesting research and possible DNA evidence on the History Channel.

[SoCal Pubbie]

Medved, is that you?

[Welcome2thejungle]

There are a lot of people (including many prominent conservatives) who have suggested that those who question where BHO was born are wacked out loons as well. Me? I don’t know. But I keep an open mind and will look at all of the evidence before coming to a definite conclusion.

[fso301]

A number a footprints purportedly made by the creature have been examined in great detail by experts. While some are surely phony, others demonstrate a great deal of detail including dermal ridges and scars which would be next to impossible to fake.

Take all the photos of "footprints" ever taken and line them up next to each other. Then ask yourself why the extreme variation from one set to the next?

I thought this was going to be another Hillary thread.

[Eska]

I live as far out as anybody, along the Yukon. The Indians have pre gold rush storys about bigfoots hijacking kids, running off with them 20 miles downriver. Indians knew where the BFs lived, went down got the kids back. Course, local natives won't shoot bear, think they are long lost relatives, ever skin a bear out?

Now I never see BFs, ghosts, aliens, any of the good stuff. None of my friends have either, some who have been mauled by bear. Yet, we get tourists from allover who see them all the time; right around here too????? Guess, I'm just lucky to see bear & moose from time to time.

[Ramius]

Why wouldn’t the carcass or remains of any one of them have been found?

We don't find carcasses of bears, cougars or even deer laying around in the woods very often either, and they'd presumably be far more numerous. I'm not saying I believe there's a Sasquatch, but of the various mythical critters, I do have to conclude that it isn't impossible that they exist. A small but sustainable population might be able to live in remote places without much sign they were there. Again, not likely, but not impossible either.

[Rockingham]

Jane Goodall has supported the possibility of Big Foot based on her experience with apes in Africa. Even when they are heard, dense cover usually forbids anything more than fleeting glimpses.

The most likely prospect for proof of the existence of Big Foot is genetic analysis of hair, scat, or blood trace evidence. A full decoding of a presumptive Big Foot genome from a single sample of trace evidence is too speculative and costly for now.

Genetic matching of scattered samples of "unknown primate DNA" though would make the case that something is out there. With such a finding in hand, funding for a full genetic analysis would be found. After that, well-funded and credentialed searches in the wild would ensue.
