Bigfoot Poll

I the 70s, my dad told of a friend who was making prints in mud in the Clackamas River drainage east of Portland. The whole area is heavily visited by people since about an hour drive outside the metro area. He said how his friend was doing it but I don't remember.
I worked graveyard shifts for many years and listened to Coast to Coast nightly. An AM radio station with topics on conspiracy and paranormal stuff. The host didn't normally ask for details and just tell the people tell their tale.
One night a guy said the place and time a few weeks earlier he hit a bigfoot that smashed his car, and he needed a tow truck. As good of a story as it sounded, I was working that area at that time and date. There weren't any vehicle crashes and no tow trucks dispatched to a crash anywhere even close to the little city he said it happened near.

I couldn't care less if someone believes in Sasquatch or not. Lots of people are just not interested enough in looking at the facts.
As far as I'm concerned the question isn't how come "they" haven't found one. The real question is how do you account for the hundreds upon hundreds of people around the country who has seen one. Eye witness testimony is accepted in court, but apparently it doesn't count among people who are afraid of the truth. How do you account for the footprints that have been collected in plaster of Paris that in no way is similar to regular humans. Several scientists and university professors believe the evidence from the foot prints are substantial evidence of the existence.
You haven't seen any research by Todd Standing where he has extremely clear photographic evidence.
Most of the "no" votes should have been "I don't care " because that's way closer to the truth.
There are three kinds of people,
The ones that watch things happen,
The ones that make things happen,
And the ones that wonder what happened.

I figure that if they exist somebody would have the head of one hanging on his wall by now.

Or just found a dead one.

Any species needs more than a handful of members to perpetuate itself. I don't know what zoologists would say was the minimum but it has to be around 20 or so. Even with a number that small, and they would all have to live pretty closely to one another to breed, sooner or later evidence of a dead one would appear as well as better proof of a live one.

I think the people pushing this fairy tale do so to make a few bucks in the remote areas of the country where Bigfoot supposedly lives. Reminds me of back in the 1970's when bear hunting was legal in NY state, and bear sightings in various areas were widely publicized. Hunters from NYC would flock to the area, stay in the motels, eat in the restaurants, buy ammo in the gun shops, etc. but it seemed no bears were shot. I suspected local business.

If people can believe that Biden is a good president they can certainly be gullible enough to believe in Bigfoot.

So it looks like approximately 33% of the country would believe in Bigfoot. Watch out, Schumer will present a bill giving Bigfoots? Bigfeet? The right to vote.

At that point, the naysaying ninnies began saying, see, they are all fake, you gullibile goons, totally made-up! But also, perversely, insisted all the pre-patterson sightings were backdated and archivally inserted, as well as mandela effect. Some people will say anything for an audience, or an argument.
The best answer for my personal hairy hominid sighting, has always been some whackos in fur-suits. Imagine that! "Furries" in 1969! This WAS californy, tho...

Sometime about 10-12 years ago, the guy who planted all the fake footprints came clean and confessed. And he was hysterically amused about all the people who believed all the bigfoot stories, because he "planted" most of

Yet never been a single confirmed ( in focus ) photo, or video, or a road kill or a dead one, etc.
Kinda hard to believe amongst the tens or hundreds of thousands of "sightings" ( WORLD-wide ) there's still no solid proof.

"Hide-and-go-seek" world champion

Lived in Weed and Yreka, attended COS and did the drive south from Happy Camp on the dirt road (12 hours) to the paved highway (Redding to Eureka). Back then it may have been possible but today you do need to be "smoken" some wacky tobacky! But the concept does make for some great "reality" TV shows!

If they have avoided being photographed OR shot dead by millions of people, for decades worth of folklore..... I'm pretty sure they aren't going to wander out in front of a Buick ;]

No breeding population means no sustainable population. I've hiked and hunted probably thousands of miles in NorCal, OR, WA and Alaska. I've seen sustainable populations of bear, deer, turkey, elk, sheep, cougar, etc. Their scat and tracks everywhere along the way to support their existence. I have never seen anything Bigfoot related.

I'm a NO voter! I do love Harry and the Hendersons though!

I lived on a cranberry bog around Bandon Or. mid 70s. His name was Thalman. Short for Neanderthal man. The locals all knew him. Never did anything bad but would look in the windows. Think he liked the girls. As did I.

Yes, I believe without a doubt. And why not? So many studies. The Study of the Patterson film alone is mind boggling. Experts in all kinds of fields of study. Enlarged digital film that showed Muscles moving when walking, scar tissue, Mammary glands and on and on. One thing for sure, No Two Broke Cowboys with a cheap camera could possibly make a suit like that. They could have made MILLIONS with Hollywood.
I do not believe there are thousands. I believe there are small family groups scattered in Areas of Vast Wilderness.

See, he only brought out the suit, after the man who he said wore it was dead, right? So, if made just for him, wouldnt properly fit anybody else in quite that way. This assumes he wasent making up the story of wearing the suit as a joke, after the death of the alleged wearer. Ive seen a few pics of the guy without the suit, and a few other guys over the years who were built like and move the same way as the star of that shakey super-8 scene. A wellfitted and accurately tailored suit, on amateur film, could decieve many viewers and analysts alike.

He's real to me, dang it.
We were in Broken Bow, Oklahoma a few years ago and they have quite the tourist gimmick based around Bigfoot. These things were everywhere. After a visit to www.thewindfieldcollection.com, I found a pattern and cut it out. I added eyes and put solar lights behind them. I named him Darrell and he has become quite the social media sensation over the last three years.

Bigfoot is Irish?

I'm pretty sure Bigfoot/Sasquatch/Yeti are real. But smart enough to just hide until we run our course and let them get back to running the world the way it should be run.

People in all parts of the world have been reporting and documenting stuff like this for thousands of years. Ancient rock and cave paintings, religious documents, oil paintings, carvings, etc. are some of the documentation. Demons, vampires, fairies, werewolves, UFO's, ET's, ghosts, witches and warlocks, dragons, flying feathered serpents, Yeti, gods, and on and on. It's a fascinating field to explore in terms of human cultural evolution and archeology/anthropology. Most of it results from people trying to explain what they don't understand, or can even comprehend. Maybe some of it is real.

What did Ezekiel really see? And what about all those Vimana?
