I went here once. It's two rooms filled with all kinds of Bigfoot memorobilia.

The admittance charge is up to the visitor: they could give nothing, or something.

He can’t find some gooney goo goo to take it over?

Giorgio Tsoukalos would be perfect for the job.

[HYPOCRACY]

Was thinking along those lines...

"I looked upstream, and then when I look back towards the woods. Whoa, here's this big hairy guy standing there looking at me.

 

Actually it was Whoopi Goldberg he saw.

This one seems to be still going, in Nebraska. I think this is where the ‘ripped and braided flag’ stories come from:

Might give him a call.

[HKMk23]

Perfect.

Do they offer any scholarly lectures by Bigfoot researchers?

[HYPOCRACY]

Keep it in the family.

The museum boasted statues, collectibles, plaster foot and hand prints of the creature, and a detailed exhibit on the Patterson-Gimlin film.

Thus, the reason why the 'legend' persists. Ditto for the Loch Ness monster.

It's all about the rubes and their dollars.

[Jamestown1630]

I’m not sure. Bigfoot has always seemed strangely plausible to me. (Much more so than ‘extraterrestrial visitors’, despite the many sightings of impossible things in the sky by credible people.)

Bigfoots aren't into publishing research.

[Jamestown1630]

Bigfoot researchers are into it - they hold symposia and do all that scientifical stuff.

I’m a fan of Dr. Meldrum, and was of John Green.

There’s another Bigfoot Museum near Portland. I almost stopped to take a look, but my traveling companion wasn’t interested.

[Ol' Dan Tucker]

I’m not sure. Bigfoot has always seemed strangely plausible to me.

The only 'evidence' for BF are foot prints and blurry photos/shaky video.

No scat, no skeletons, no tufts of fur. Every other animal in the forest leaves these, but none for bigfoot.

[Jamestown1630]

I don’t know. The Patterson/Gimlin film and the commentary I’ve seen on it seem very convincing. For its time, I don’t see how that film could have been faked.

And if the creature exists, it’s not anything like ‘every other animal’.

[ProtectOurFreedom]

There have been so many sightings and matings that the museum is no longer needed. However, DO avoid eye contact.

What about birth certificates and mortgages?
