Search is on for Bigfoot
Bigfoot. Most people think it's a joke, or a hoax, or a delusion, but to hard-core, true believers, it's an obsession.

The reality is that "we" as a culture look for escapism in every aspect of what we do. I honestly would love to have cryptozooligists(sp) find Bigfoot, it would make my existence more exciting, but I think putting this much time and effort into it is a little scary.

@CAVALIER COUGAR/SVU ROCKS - I've known others including my scout leader who once told us a story that would chill anyone to the core. The thing is, he is the most honest person anyone ever knew. He also showed great emotion when telling the story, this coming from a man who never wore his emotions on his sleeve. I for one believe him.

Also, I was once reading online a story of some early settlers journal who claimed they had a Bigfoot encounter. As the story goes he arrived just before dusk back at his home in the foothills away from town. He heard a noise downstairs in the his cellar. Upon investigating the downstairs noise, he soon shot back up the stairs and jumped on his horse and rode it so hard into town the later his horse apparently died from the trip. Other journals confirm the the story was told and even that his horse had died. And the eerie thing was the other accounts say that they tracked the mans horses gallop prints in the mud back from town to his home and there was a stretch near his home where there were other prints which had such large strides in length and distance that apparently "no man could have made them" following after the the horse.

Kinda cool.

@Lucky29 - Boy scouts and their leaders figure into a lot of sightings.They chase down the deer,grab them by a hind leg and just smash them to the ground,often,then rip out the livers first.When my son had his encounter NW of Vernal,the creature was chasing antelope.When he called me when he got home,he was SHOOK UP,spooked,literally scared to a stupor,in a way.NEVER seen or heard of him being like that.He's a MANLY MAN(in his mind,atleast).Gun guru,former MP,wites for gun mags,etc.Not one to EVER admit to weakness,BUT-he was deeply affected by this experience.He haf snuck into Skinwalker ranch and had an experience there that would have destroyed me,but he brushed that off,not so the BF experience.

@CAVALIER COUGAR/SVU ROCKS - I love a good faith-promoting rumor.

President Kimball's book "The Miracle of Forgiveness", includes the story that is attributed to Patten:
“As I was riding along the road on my mule I suddenly noticed a very strange personage walking beside me. He walked along beside me for about two miles. His head was about even with my shoulders as I sat in my saddle. He wore no clothing, but was covered with hair. His skin was very dark. I asked him where he dwelt and he replied that he had no home, that he was a wanderer in the earth and traveled to and fro. He said he was a very miserable creature, that he had earnestly sought death during his sojourn upon the earth, but that he could not die, and his mission was to destroy the souls of men. About the time he expressed himself thus, I rebuked him in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by virtue of the Holy Priesthood, and commanded him to go hence, and he immediately departed out of my sight.”

If that was Cain, was he treading water the whole time Noah was in the Ark?

A couple other weirdos thought well if he can do it so can I. Pretty soon you've got bunches of people being BF and bunches that actually belive it.

@Obi wan liberali - To quote Katharine Hepburn from On Golden Pond.
"The loons! The loons!"

Almost all religious beliefs are more nonsensical than believing in Big Foot. It doesn't matter if it is believing woman was created from a rib, Satan is real, Noah loaded two of all animals on an ark and the entire earth was flooded, people living to over 800 years old, people living to over 2000 years old, people living to over 6000 years old, a man was swallowed by a whale and survived, Jesus died for everyones' sins, Jesus came back to life, Jesus raised the dead, Joseph Smith saw God and Jesus, the Book of Mormon is an actual historical record translated by God's power...

It isn't a question of whether it is all nonsense; it is a question of whether it is your sacred nonsense. Life is too short to waste our time on such matters.

And just as a funny side note -- my brother served an LDS mission in Eugene, OR, (we lived in another part of the country at the time, so it was quite a foreign mission for him). In the backwoods of that area they actually ran into "bigfoot traps" -- he took pictures. They looked like giant outhouses but I don't know what's inside. Hilarious!

@Notwilford - Usaually they are recognizable in an instant by their physical appearence.They ALWAYS HATE men.That doesn't mean they are lesbians,many have children and are married.I feel; sorry for their mates.They adhere to an agenda one might call "militant".They sprout slogans that call for all sorts of politically correct dogmas that destroy "traditional" values and gender roles. I have encountered them in my work and social interactions ober the years and just try to avoid conflict at all cost.Their methods are bent on the utter detruction of those who they THINK oppose them.I have a REAL monsterous example in my client list.I treat this woman like a god,never giving her any reason to doubt my enlightened metro-sexual outlook on life.Since I have voted for quite a few dems in the past,we have some political conversations that are safe.Since I AM terribly disappointed with Bush,I can avoid much chance of conflict there.Since I DO believe in women's rights,that helps.But make no mistake,the radical feminist agenda is not good for society at large.One CAN be a femw/o being RADICAL and dangerous.I don't like zealots of any stripe , right or left .

exactly how big do your feet have to be to be considered a Bigfoot? This one time when I was going to SUU, I was up in Cedar canyon and I was swimming. Well I vacated the swimming pool and took across the dirt with my size 14 feet. As I turned to look back with my hairy chest(much like the picture accompanying this story), I was immediately photographed by a strange little man who then ran off yelling some incoherent english. Later in the week a Bigfoot siting was confirmed by the WTHUTRINBO. Which, as everyone knows stands for Wake The He!! Up, There Really Is No Bigfoot Organization!

There, now everyone that reads this owes me $300.00

Actually, if Bigfoot does not exist, then somebody is doing quite an elaborate hoax. Some of the hair samples and foot prints from supposed sightings have been scientifically examined and the results are interesting to say the least. Of course, many of these "samples" are fake, but the fake ones are immediately identified as such. But the samples that are puzzling scientists are out there - plenty of them. If these are just fakes, then somebody is able to make foot prints that have dermal ridges and hair samples that have been examined by scientists under microscopes that have not been able to be classified as fake. (Hair samples matching somewhere between human and ape, scientifically.) And, yes, there are photos and a few videos that have been scrutinized by scientists that have not been able to be classified as fake. They are not seen very often because they are few in number, and believed to move at night, mostly. And, mostly are found in the very thick northwest, where crashed planes are often never found.

If Bigfoot is fake, then it is an extremely interesting hoax.

@dreambig20 - Your rapier-like wit has cut me to the core.

BD
9:14am - Thu Jul 19th, 2007
@DKL - How about coming up with a post with some substance? Meaning, give some good explanations for the photos, hundreds (perhaps thousands) of eyewitness accounts that have not been immediately dismissed as fake, footprints that have been scientifically analyzed, hair samples, voice and noise recordings, etc, etc. that have all been scientifically analyzed. Yes, the majority of supposed "sightings", footprints, photos, etc. are dismissed. But there remains a small percentage of these (with actual numbers in the thousands) that scientists have never been able to label "fake" on them. These things are by no means proof of the existence of Bigfoot, but they offer evidence. And an explanation of "hoax" makes me conclude that it is quite an elaborate hoax, if that is the case.

Bigfoot is either fake, and as such is an EXTREMELY elaborate and expensive, and incredible hoax, or they exist. A trivial explanation does not fit the evidence.

Oh, and by the way, since you mentioned Nu-Skin, Noni, Usana, etc. and since I practically don't even know what they are (Noni, Usana anyway), I will conclude that you are more familiar with them than me, so maybe you are using/buying them.

@BD - This is one of those little news stories that are simply big, fat, slow softballs that intelligent people use to knock out of the park for homeruns. The only reason a story like this comes to light is because news organizations know their readers/viewers like to laugh at other humans.

A little bit of sarcasm, wit, or plain laughter gives these stories all the attention they need.

Content is definitely not germane to this type of news.

@BD - BD, I'm not discrediting the validity of your post, but would you mind providing some sort of reference to your claims? At least a website, book or study that shows the findings which you've claimed to be true? I am really curious about where to find information about these prints and hair samples that have not been sucssesfully identified. I would also like to see some of these pictures and videos that are not "classified" as fake. Please enlighten me and others who have never seen such evidence.

If there are unidentified "samples" out there that are currently "puzzling scientists", than I imagine it will not be difficult to cite your sources. You mention in your later post that these peculiar finding number "in the thousands." Could we please be shown evidence of a few? Thank you for your time.

P.S. Please cite credible sources, peferablly not supermarket magazines and/or unreliable websites. Thanks.

My wife and I were lost up in the hills above midway in 1992. We were looking for a cabin where we'd been invited by some friends.

It was about 11:30 and we were WAY lost. i was mad and just trying to get home so was speeding.

We went up up a hill and I hit a blind corner going into some timber that I hadn't seen. I skidded around that corner in the gravel, almost losing it.

There in the middle of the road was something huge. I slammed on my brakes and skidded to a stop about 4-6 feet from it.

Standing in the middle of the road was the biggest thing you can imagine. About 7'2" and maybe 600-800 lbs. It crouched down and was very surprised. We caught it crossing the road.

I know how big it was cause I was playing football at the Y on the Offensive line and was hanging out with some of the biggest guys in the country. We had one guy that was 6'8" and 500 lbs (Mike Jenkins, remember him? :-) ) and this thing dwarfed him. it's arms were bigger than my thighs.

It crouched there about 3 or 4 seconds and then took off running, taking two HUGE strides in the road and diving over a big bush bank on the side of the road.

I was speechless and just turned to my wife and started stammering. She said "That was a bigfoot!!"

I realized we're in the deep woods, in a little itty bitty car with some 7 foot, 800 lb thing that could run a high 3's, low 4's 40. I slammed the accelerator down and we took off.

I always thought Bigfoot was a load of BS. I don't know. There is at least one one of them out there.

Eash of my three children and their friends have see something on three different occasions...they say "Bigfoot". My oldest (now 24) came running and crying in the house...scared to death in the foothills of Skyline Drive between Mt. Pleasant and Fairview. SHe said she was exploring through the cedar trees below my house and pond, near the tree house and she ran into this big thing (about 7 feet tall and somewhat hairy)that was just as scared as she..it ran and she ran only to end up circling around and it happened again. I was napping when she came in, complety freaked out. I thought it might have been the Bishop playing a joke for a few years until it happened again about 3 years ago to my 14 year old while she and her friends were riding the 4 wheeler in the hills above my house on her Birthday. They never left the house after that. The next time was last year and this time the 14 year old and the 8 year old saw it on the knowl above the pond.

I don't know...but they sure do get upset that I think they are nuts!

In my never ending quest for full enlightenment and knowledge I have, over the years, read a fair amount of literature on the sasquatch. What of it is true and what of it is fake, I don't know. I've never seen one. But here are some of the interesting stories I've read:

1. Many native Americans believe that Sasquatch appears to their tribes to warn of imminent danger, or to warn the people that they need to take better care of mother earth.

2. Sasquatch is not to be confused with "mandingo," a hairy man-beast that eats children according to Native American tradition.

3. The male sasquatch apparently has a joint in his, uh, nether-regions, that acts as a natural birth control device in some way. This explains why we don't see enormous populations of sasquatch anywhere.

4. Some people believe that Sassy (as his friends call him) lives in another dimension and is generally only seen if he wants to be seen.

5. The sasquatch pictured in the Patterson/Gimlin film is actually a woman, as evidenced by the bosoms.

6. Some "believers" say that if you look closely at stills from the Patterson/Gimlin film you can see other sasquatch hiding in the woods on the far hillside.

7. A costume designer in the south claims that Patterson and/or Gimlin visited him not long before the film was made asking about ape suits. However, the costumer said that he did not make that costume, and he had never seen one like the sasquatch captured in the film.

I don't say it's true, I don't say it's fake.

Utah always has funny college kids who like to joke about everything. The BFRO are volunteers, many who have degrees in forestry,science, business, whatever.They range in age from young to over sixty. Most have seen a bigfoot for themselves and want to prove it to others, just as whoever the three nephites are to LDS. They do travel on their own time, to various areas where many sightings have taken place. Utah IS one of them, high in the Uintas.And yes, around Tony Grove lake, and Logan canyon. They do not use drugs, most do not drink, but are very serious on these things, with some fun at themselves.How many of you would go out to prove anything you might believe in knowing you would get all sorts of comments? I did not start out seeking to see a bigfoot the day I saw one. But it is something you never forget. If you dont believe, then post it. If you do, then post that and give these guys some kudos for trying. Do we see YOU up there trying to prove that BF are not there???You would be surprised how many reports of a bigfoot from way before that silly patterson tape. I know many Utahns who have seen these creatures, and other people from other states. Dr Jeff Meldrum at an Idaho university in Pocatello has a very interesting display that may still be going on. Decide for yourselves either way. Thats what life is about, right?
