Now-second topic. I suppose that I have no problem with the idea of interdimensional beings per se; its just that Bigfoot digs for and eats ground squirrels, kills small ungulates (big ones too[?]), eats sweetgrass, berries, shellfish, defecates, makes beds and sleeps in them (like gorillas do), gives birth, raises young, is furry and has B.O., is clearly territorial-it just seems that these are indicators that we’re dealing with a biological entity here. If it were interdimentional, then why go through all that messy, hard stuff that animals need to engage in to survive if they can just morph into a dimension where all this stuff is’nt necessary? Anyway, let’s face it; until we have a Sas’ body, or a part of one, no one can say for sure that such a theory has no merit. Oh, one can ridicule it or challenge it-but hey; where’s the corpus delicti? So, we look, we watch, and we wait-and post our thoughts on boards such as this one.

God bless, all!

I see a cognitive behavior therapist from time to time. I can’t wait to discuss this topic with him. I hope he can help me cope.

Here’s to your bigfoot, whatever it may be. I hope I someday get to see/not-see one.

To restate what you just stated, “Almost everything that has been observed for the sasquatch has analogues in known primate species”, except for eyeshine with no obvious body, nearby bipedal footstep noise when no body can be seen, nearby screaming in the forest when no animal can be seen, tracks that abruptly start in snow, tracks that abruptly end in snow, bigfoot jumping over cliff and no body seen at base of cliff, partial invisibility, and hundreds of years of Native American commentary. Other than that, maybe you are on to something about bigfoot being a known primate species. And then, maybe not!

Isn’t this what you are really trying to say? “All evidence that is accepted by flesh & blood biased bigfoot researchers today, consistently without exception, points toward a flesh & blood bigfoot? Therefore, case closed, bigfoot is a flesh & blood animal.” Of course it is! Nuff said on accepted bigfoot evidence.

For others out there, much testimonial evidence has been presented on this thread, that modern man is barely hanging onto reality by his or her fingernails. An invisible paranormal bigfoot is one of those concepts that causes those individuals, to briefly lose their grip. During the 70’s, 80’s, & 90’s, psychological counselors (shrinks) could attribute a significant portion of their business to helping those same people deal with both life and an invisible paranormal bigfoot. Living in denial of this need for help, does not make that need for help go away. Admitting to yourself that you cannot deal with an invisible paranormal bigfoot, is your first step to recovery. Your second step would involve picking up the phone to make an appointment to have yourself evaluated.

Now we know why the federal government seeks to keep the truth about the bigfoot a secret. The nation’s healthcare system cannot handle the surge in medicare and medicaid outflows, that would be paid for BIGFOOT COUNSELING. Nor are their enough hospital beds available in mental institutions. So we all get to live in a world full of lies.

Um, well, sure they are. People with expertise in wildlife biology made those estimates, based on the techniques used by wildlife biologists to calculate – wait for it – a MINIMUM VIABLE BREEDING POPULATION. They almost certainly used known (not, for sure, the same as “real”) trackways and sighting reports to construct the estimates. Hmmmmmm. That’s like wildlife biologists do, the only difference being that we accept what wildlife biologists are seeing because, well, they’re wildlife biologists, and the species they count are accepted to exist by the public.

Now. Are there more – maybe many more – than the estimates? If the animal exists, the answer is: very, very possible. Simple logic dictates this. Although a number of reported sightings could well be of the same animal, I’m pretty sure that numerous sightings and track finds remain undocumented.

Almost everything that has been observed for the sasquatch has analogues in known primate species. Even the variation in sizes, pelages and foot shapes in what might – or might not – be a single species has a primate analogue. (Us.) This guy looks, smells, sounds and behaves – so those who have seen, smelled and heard it tell us – like a real, 3D animal.

Anything else, I want evidence. As in: yes. YOU have to do my legwork for me, as any scientist would.

You too, Darkstream. Project Peter Pan: hogwash. I want photos. Or at least a tete-a-tete with that Hawking guy.
