Maybe Bigfoot is attracted to trailers like lightning and tornados.

The combination of metal filled with all the smells associated with humans hits BF deep in his subconscience. He is drawn to trailers like a moth to a flame. His primitive curiosity leads him to investigate odors that are foreign yet familiar.

Sounds exactly like what I would have said myself.

And oh yes, one significant difference in the Bigfoot in the South (or in the Eastern USA in general) is that it is much more heavily into a meat diet, raiding henhouses and garbage and chowing down on the occasional hound dog. If you have one of them hairy dudes around, DON’T go waving around a bucket of Kentucky Fried Chicken in the air. They go ape-you-know-what at the smell.

I don’t know if they actually are cannibals, but that is a common statement. More usually it seems they eat their own dead.

I live in an apartment that is on the brow of a hill overlooking a small city. When I go out on my patio and look out over the valley, I am attracted first to the 3 houses that have a big screen TV set and a large window. The white/blue light with flickers of color really stands out. So much that a house 1,000 yards away is more noticeable than the next door neighbor 80 yards away.

Reading through reports, I have noticed a large number of sighting from people who play their TVs at night, sometimes late into the night. And it seems that there are as many, if not more reports of having a TV on and a peeping b.f. as reports of b.f. looking into dark rooms. Because a flickering strong light you get from a TV is something that attracts attention. And we have a good idea that b.f. is a curious creature.

I suspect that the reason that b.f. is claimed to bump into trailer homes is the give in the construction. There is a certain “rebound” in mobile home construction. And (as you can see on CNN each time there is a tornado) these homes are not connected that well to the foundations. And a b.f. may find it fun to give a push to this type of home, and have it spring back. Where other homes and building are more solid and don’t move.

I’m based in NE Oklahoma…we have more screened reports of interest and active research areas than we can investigate.

Regarding the trailer comments…many folks start out with a mobile home on their acreage while they build their permament domilcile. A large percentage of sightings occur near rural mobile homes in isolated newly cleared wooded areas.

A common trend here…after acquiring your “acreage”….you move in a fifth wheel travel trailer and work from there on the weekends building your “dream home”.

Some major differences in the squatch species may be size, stature and aggression of the Southern Fried Sasquatch when compared to its laid back vegan, SP cousins of the PNW. In many areas of the South, every good ole boy with a hand cannon or deer rifle shoots first and reports afterward…which may have something to do with their “attitude”.

Ole bub doesn’t date out of his species…so I can’t comment on their sexual proclivities… although window peeping is a commonly occurring theme, since few folks in the country have shades or drapes…JMHO

Would I rather live safely in the confines of the city with “drive bys”, roving gangs of street thugs and sexual predators prowling the shadows….or have an occassional exhilerating encounter with a giant screaming monkey man…”hello Squatch…come on in and have a cold one”….hell the worst thing about rural living is dial up…JMHO

live and let live….

ole bub and the dawgs

That being said, I can certainly see the point about Orgone. SOME of the things said about Orgone make a good deal of sense, but other statements made about it are more questionable. I remember Ivan Sanderson had a book about the energy or lifeforce and it was heavily annotated, and one place had a heated exchange of notes between ITS and SWS because ITS saw the sense in a statement about Orgone that SWS said was nonsense.

Wlihelm Reich, creator of the Orgone theory, later equated it with static electricity. That probably hurt his research because the stuff is not ordinary electricity, it does not act that way at all: however, some of the effects attributed to Orgone could be due to static electricity as it is currently understood (it could alter moods, certainly, and mood changes in accordance with the weather has been attributed to ions in the atmosphere changing in the standard references)
