Sasquatch or big foot debate

[friendttyy]

Do you guys think that bigfoot exists. This is a hot debate topic around the word and I want to knownif you believe the exist and some reasons to support your answers. I say they do as there was a 16 sec documentary film.

 

[Tarantula155]

No, there is no evidence it exists.

Absence of evidence is, in fact, evidence of absence. Every single claim has been debunked.

 

[freedumbdclxvi]

No, I do not think they do.

I live on Vancouver Island, which is also home to the most Sasquatch sightings/reports in the world. several investigations are done here on regular basis, that come up with nothing, the most solid belief is that Native indian shaman were sent into the wilderness for decades to learn survival skills, learn medicinal skills with plants, and other organisms, and of coarse "Be one with the nature gods", It is told that this sort of practice still goes on, and that they do wear furs for warmth and protection for the elements, so what people could actually be seeing out here is this. Indians in animal skins playing shaman...

 

[freedumbdclxvi]

That is a pretty good explanation.

 

[Tarantula155]

That is a pretty good explanation.

+1, I agree.

Bravo! I like this post.

I'd like to think they're real, but odds are no . I've heard you'd need to have thousands and thousands of them to maintain a population. Its fun to hear and see the "proof" though !!

I believe very well that they are real, but I'm not going to explain why because much of it is just my opinion.

Let's see it, even if it is opinion.

I'm guessing you believe in the lochness monster too

_Playing_ shaman? Quests or sojourns would be a better way of putting it.

Lol:laugh:

Actually, no, I don't.

 

[Tarantula155]

Actually, no, I don't.

So are you going to explain about why you believe "bigfoot" is real? Even if it is opinion, I would still like to see it.

Where is the link to the sixteen second documentary film?

I guess I am going to have to find it...:sarcasm:

 

[Introvertebrate]

Actually, no, I don't.

How 'bout ESP, UFOs, or the Bermuda Triangle?

Well, the shaman theory doesn't hold up in the summer first of all. Second, Canada, Australia, Indonesia, and other countries also have similar animals. The Yowie, Orang Pendek, Bigfoot, and Yeti, are all very similar in their descriptions.. Why would different countries across the world have similar, constant, descriptions? Also, the native americans have legends and drawings in caves of them. Hair samples have been tested by professionals and have been found not to match any other animals. Footprints have been found to not be made by humans as the stride length and gait cannot be performed by humans. While some TV shows like Monster Quest are not good documentaries, some shows are, but they are not very popular, and so don't air that often. Yes, people do fake photos, videos, and other such evidence, but there is also real stuff too.

Also, I don't believe in UFOs, monsters, ghosts, ESP, and I never thought about the Bermuda Triangle much, so for now, no, and it will probably stay that way until I see good evidence.

Real stuff, huh? :sarcasm:


So, here's the amusing thing about Bigfoot.

1.) Seen in many countries by many different people.
2.) The sightings all started around the same time.
3.) There is no independent evidence (footprints, hair, bones)
4.) Every single video/picture is blurry (notice the same effect with every UFO picture/video ever, too)


There is also this: "Magician and costume maker Phillip Morris says he is the one who sold the famous Bigfoot suit to Roger Patterson. He says that Patterson used the suit to fake the most famous Bigfoot video ever shot."

^Scientists at Stanford proved that the walk is human. One scientist even called it, "a slam dunk".

ShredderEmp, here's the other problem with the idea of "bigfoot". Exceptionally large mammals that seem to hide like ninjas, that also have exceptionally small populations, to the point they're impossible to spot on anything but crappy 1980s camera tech. Especially with all the enthusiasts and big game hunters after them. Also, they never once get caught in a trap. American hunters laying bear traps for two centuries, and not one of these thing ends up in it. American hunters were numerous, ruthless, and extremely skilled. Any one of them would have become famous and rich if they bagged a big foot.

Squatch is real. When I was younger he stayed with my family for a bit.

I say if bigfoot is real it is just a very rare unidentified animal but that is a very, very, big if. Far as UFO' s go I am not sure I think there has to be life on some distant planet somewhere but I doubt they are UFOs. But ghosts on the other hand I do believe in (about half my family does too) although I am a bit skeptical on the subject.

Don't get me started on ghosts
