NGC - Has anyone ever seen a Bigfoot?

[SIR REAL ED]

Just curious.  Lifelong interest.  So many great tales are out there.

Mentioned this a couple weeks ago to a buddy who enjoys the Great Outdoors immensely.  He said he actually did see one in Florida.  They call them Skunk Apes down there.

He and a fishing buddy saw one in the headlights at night.  Convincing parts of the story were they continued driving for two hours with neither saying a word.  He said neither said anything about it for the next two days, and as they were getting ready to part company and go back to their normal lives, the other guy said "We really did see that, didn't we?"  To which my buddy replied "Yeah, we really did."  And that was where the conversation ended.

For what I have read, that is often a typical reaction.

 There is no such thing as bigfoot , any creature needs a viable population to survive , and a viable population means we would have photographic evidence that bigfoot actually exists .

 Oh , his name is Darrell

bigFoot-STILL the world's hide and seek champion

[oldbike54]

 

 A few years ago 3 bubbas from NE Oklahoma decided to go bigfoot hunting (true story) . One of them saw bigfoot and shot and killed the poor creature , only it turned out to be one of his buddies . The remaining two panicked , and left the area . A reporter was trying to get Scott Walton , the sheriff in that county to comment on the veracity of the bigfoot sightings in his area . Scott , in his deadpan manner looked into the camera and said "there is no such ting as bigfoot"

[SED]

No!

I don't know Dusty, they seem to be doing pretty well here.

I guess next some of y’all be saying there’s no Santa Claus🤔

[Rough Edge racing]

 There might be Bigfoots, beings from another planet may live next door, who am I to say it's not so...An imagination is a good  thing....

Thought we were to avoid religious discussions/posts here.

Religious, really?

Ok- here's my contribution.

My Uncle Norman (veteran of Berlin Airlift, posted a thread here about taking him for a drive in a Model T last fall just before his 90th birthday) died 3 wks ago.  He spent his career as a geologist with the USGS and was a serious amatuer astronomer with multiple big telescopes that cost as much as a new Guzzi.  After retirement, he spent 30+ yrs in Roswell, NM. Once there, he spent 20 yrs as a nearly full time lead volunteer at the UFO Museum.....  So he had lots of answers for many such things.  Completely serious when it came to UFOs, aliens, Bigfoot, etc. No gags or BS.

According to Uncle Norm, the bigfoot population exists in a parallel dimension and are only present to be seen in our world when there is an inter-dimensional disturbance that allows them to briefly pass into our dimension.  Because these disturbances are temporary, they cannot stay in our dimension and are returned to their dimension as soon as inter-dimensional balance is restored.  He was completely serious about this explanation and explained that once we understand how to travel differently across space, time and dimensions that we will finally be able to know more about other life forms like Bigfoot and "little gray men."

The other part of the story, which is more rational.  Before we met, my wife lived year round in a tent in the woods in East TN for four years.   She was used to everything going bump in the night around her tent, from opossums & deer to coyotes & black bears.  She said one night, all the typical noises stopped except for something large walking.  Whatever it was walked closely past her tent.  It was upright & tall enough to cast a shadow down onto the tent (her beloved VW camper canvas tent).  No drama, but not normal and odd enough that the animals around her tent responded to it by going silent which tends to be a defensive/self-preservation behavior.  After it walked out of earshot, the regular night noises resumed.  She doesn't think it was a friend playing a gag and doesn't know what it was, other than it was very large and very real.

When she told him the story, Uncle Norm said "yup, that was a Bigfoot. You were lucky to be in the right place at the right time,"

We already miss Uncle Norman and having him next door.

My pit bull rescue has big feet. Her name is Bisbee but I almost called her Bigfoot. So yes, they do exist. 😀😀😀

[Bulldog9]

I didn't believe in bigfoot till I saw one. 

Sadly, it was parading as my ex-mother in law.....

[LowRyter]

My brother-in-law is from SE Okla.  He said his cousin saw one and it really changed him in so far as his love for the outdoors.  He lives in Honobia OK.  I took a ride through there at one of the Okla Camp Outs.   

Here's proof of me being there.



That's an "official" sign.  And they have a Bigfoot Festival in the fall.

It must be true.   

[tazio]

North Georgia mountains are all ate up with these pesky bigfoot pecker-heads running  through campsites in the middle of the night..

Is that a plexi fairing 3 on your bike LR? Nice!

Yes, wish I still had it (broken) and wish they still made them.   

[JJ]

Me too.
 
We really did see that JJ, didn't we?

Yes, alan...we DID see that BIGFOOT in ROME! 

Also, saw this one on a bike trip in Aug. 2008!!  

[Ncdan]

I’m going to send you a PM

It's amazing how much stuff isn't out there any more now that every person on the planet is carrying a fully equipped video system in their pocket every day ..... !

Lol! There is a Army ranger mountain training camp in Dahlonega (I can never speel it write!) that my father attended. One of the survival exercises is the fly you into a desolate area at night, drop you off, (rappel actually) and you have to make your way back. I didn’t really believe it till one night we were camping at Frank Gross campground close to the fish hatchery. As was described, wildlife and bugs got quiet. We heard large creatures moving in the forest. Then splashing in the creek. Then swearing!!! A half dozen rangers passed by our campsite on their way to rtb.  Unfortunately logic ruins everything. Still was a great experience.

This may not be as far fetched as it sounds if the multiverse theory turns out to be right

 Good grief , can you imagine what it must be like for the poor creatures in that other universe when the window between ours and theirs opens and they can see all of us  Guessing those poor inhabitants of that other plane tell horror stories about this plane .

Great responses so far.  Thanks to all!!!


Cliffrod, TN is loaded with Bigfoot stories.  Your wife is not alone.  Your wife might appreciate these Youtube audio files:

https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=50+years+with+bigfoot%2C+part+1

Your Uncle Norman was also not alone.  I would have loved to have known him and engaged him in some long discussions.  This book is one of my favorites, in terms of a Bigfoot primer book that hits all the Theories (including his theories):

https://www.amazon.com/Locals-Thom-Powell/dp/0888395523

IMO, the most convincing books are, perhaps the David Paulides books, and the Habituation reports.

https://www.amazon.com/David-Paulides/e/B002ALI9AA%3Fref=dbs_a_mng_rwt_scns_share

Probably less than a 1% chance that Bigfoot really does exist, but if they do exist, the world is a better place, IMO. 
We all know that most people are nuts in some way, and we all have very active imaginations. 
Also the human mind's capacity for self-delusion appears infinite.

Hell, if did not already know that any idea that any human can express should be taken with a huge grain of salt, then accessing the internet should remove all doubt.

Still fascinates me, especially since most humans never venture more than a few thousand yards from pavement and are so very certain that the world is not more than they have experienced to date.

I WANT TO BELIEVE!

[SIR REAL ED]

There might be Bigfoots, beings from another planet may live next door, who am I to say it's not so...An imagination is a good  thing....

Also lots of good stories out there from all over NY state.
