Bigfoot. Is it possible they exist?

[TSO]

where r the bodies?

This is the most common but worst response to the question of if there are bigfoots in real life. In those densely packed forests its hard to find bodies of a lot of animals that we know exist.

As for the op: I doubt there are any 400+ lb land animals left to discover.

Oh gosh, I remember a few years back there was a photoshopped pornographic version of this gif that was one of the funniest things I've seen. Anyone know if that gif still exists somewhere on this site?

 

[God_Emperor_Of_Mankind]

There is a bifgoot of that I'm sure.

I think MK Davis and also Bill Munn make a great case that the Patterson film is legit and yes I know that Patterson was a known conman. MK Davis breaks down things like the musculature while Bill Munn measured the proportions from the original film. Munn being one of the only people alive that has had access to the original.

First here is MK Davis discussing some of the frames.


And here is the Bill Munn analysis

MK Davis has also claimed that there was a slaughter of the creatures at Willow Creek. He says that there was more than one creature at the site. Some of his film analysis, he believes that there is a puddle of blood. This has been controversial in the crypto community.

I'm a legit scientist and I say hell yeah

I'd love to know if any of the sighting during the Vietnam War were documented by the army.

I went trekking in Bhutan for about 3 weeks a few years ago. All the locals there believe it exists and have stories of it.

Unfortunatly I didn't see anything or hear anything the entire trek even though all the guides and everybody at the villages we overnighted in claimed it was prime Bigfoot territory.

I wanted to see one so damn bad but nope.

There's a big ass lake in xinjiange called kanas and its spectacular to see, there's stories of a lake monster in there too. When I went I didn't see a damn thing, but like a month after I was there somebody put up a video of something strange in the water. Probably just a big ass fish but still would have been awesome to see.

There have also been several sighting around New Mexico where I grew up and spent a shit load of time hunting, in all those years, I only had one thing ever happen that I could t just explain away.

That patterson film,

You can see its breast, muscles and toes. If it were a costume, its a really good one.

 

[Matt M]

It's certainly possible but it's also unlikely.

 

[sleepwalk]

Unlikely but I love to speculate. Hell, Grover Krantz and Jane Goodall were on board.

Chances are that a genetic memory of more simian-like competitors in our past contributes to this shared tradition across virtually all cultures and geographies. It's a very large animal to maintain sustainable numbers and go with such little physical evidence. I seem to remember that someone in correspondence with Patterson later worked on costuming for Planet of the Apes.

That said, there are many unanswered questions (including those regarding the points I just made.)

I, personally, have been open to discussion of all sorts of phenomena. In The Matrix movies there was a bit about aliens, ghosts, demons, etc being leftover code from the previous incarnation of the matrix. The numerous convincing and recurring accounts of such things certain could be related to their being "real" with extra-planar/inter-dimesional properties.

Great movie. Post reminded me of this gem of a gif (Not mine):

Oh wow! I completely forgot about these GIFs. A GIF pro should really make an updated one with Holm vs Rousey.

 

[The Clinch]

I don't think bigfoot is possible, but I love reading posts in bigfoot forums

Their internal culture has progressed to such a point that, while people outside the bigfoot-hunting world are arguing whether or not he exists, people withing the bigfoot-hunting community have not only accepted his existence as proven fact, but have also come to accept as fact that bigfoots (?) have avoided human detection because they only travel by walking through streams, they are slightly telepathic and they have a high-pitched sonic attack that disorients humans.

Say what now?

The Patterson gimping film showed up around the time the planet of the apes films were being made and the people making planet of the apes weren't capable of recreating the Patterson gimlin film.

That film is real.

I sense sarcasm in this post (in a Jedi sense)

 

[ironwolf]

Wasnt meant in a sarcastic way at all. I think that film is real. If it was fake it would have been proven by now because peers have been stumped on it for almost what??? 50 years now and nobody has been able to re create it accurately. You can see the muscles moving as the thing walks and analysis shows that the gait of the thing is that of an animal that is like 7-8 feet tall.

Those apes on the planet of the apes movie were considered high tech and the cutting edge of costumes and special effects at the time and those costume makers have said they wouldn't be able to create what is seen on the film.

I agree though that evidence for bigfoots is shady at best, I do think though that people who really see these things likely keep quiet about it not only to protect them but also so people don't call them crazy.

As I said earlier, I've spent lots of time in the wilderness in areas where these things are supposed to exist and I've never seen anything to suggest they are around however I have had one experience that I can't readily explain that has stuck with me 6-7 years ago in a place where somebody had reported a Bigfoot sighting....I didn't see it though i heard something strange that's for sure.

acknowledge the Sasquatch

 

[Sasquatch Smith]

They absolutely do not exist.

Take it from me. I have cred, just look at my name.

 

[D Train]

where r the bodies?

Carcasses break down FAST in the wild.

 

[Zookeeper Gabe]

Carcasses break down FAST in the wild.

Terrible argument. Sorry D. They do and scavengers scatter remains. I've happened upon remains of large animals before and if these animals were out there. There would have been definitive proof and at some point a body would have showed up. Especially considering all the different habitats where they have been "observed"
