“I don’t particularly feel like a strange person,” Loren Coleman says. “It’s the subject I study that’s strange.” Well, Bigfoot isn't. But we are; and that's why we make it strange. A friend of mine sent me this article about "the uncanny valley," that huge dip in comfort we experience when something gets very close to us, but not quite. We both think it's directly relevant to the sasquatch phenomenon. As I said to him: "We irrationally reject evidence because we simply don't like what it's telling us. And this is why we don't like it, this thing that we don't understand yet, but gets activated when Something Like Us But Not Quite rears its not-so-ugly head."

interesting… can’t say you’re totally wrong regarding “white man”… but its a generalization in a way… i wouldn’t say we need a dead one… personally… i’d just love to see real proof.

what they are, etc.

but let them live in peace and unbothered…

Loren, there are more things out there in heaven and earth than you can shake a stick at! I’m half Cherokee Indian and I’ve heard the stories of my people about what you call Bigfoot. We call them by a different name {Nunne hi} or spirit people. We believe they were put here to tend the forest and watch over it and that they should be left alone and not hunted. I hear there are people who have put a bounty on them in Texas. I hear all kind of statements that the Native American people know more about these beings than they are willing to say. It’s because we know that the whites will hunt them down if we do. I mean didn’t I hear one of these researchers say that the only real proof that they’d accept is a dead carcass? Among the people we don’t need to see them to know they are there. They are part of the forest and should be left alone and not hounded to the ends of the Earth just so some researcher can write a paper and say they exist because it won’t stop there. The whites don’t have a good track record when it comes to live and let live! They won’t be happy until one is on a table being dissected. Theirs is a majestic and very old race older than even the native American race and they should not be molested by sightseers and tourists. It’s better that some things stay unknown and wild the way the Great Spirit meant them to be!

Saw it in the BG mag this morning. Small world. Still got my eyes peeled for a Massachusetts Bigfoot
