If Sasquatch are real animals they’re almost certainly extinct now.
Okay, for every Sasquatch believer, what does it do for you? Like, how would it change your life one way or another? It would just be another living being that’s been hunted to extinction/displaced by human development, it would just be sad more than exciting for me… And do any of you believe in the existence of the Creator?
and the same question for deniers
For me, as someone born and raised outside of North America, the Sasquatch is just part of American mythos, kinda like the “chupacabra” (whatever that is) or La Llorona. But I guess, as some sort of flesh and blood large yet unclassified primate, it’s an easier thing to believe in? Regardless, it would just be kinda sad, yet another group of beings living in fear/threatened by humanity.
For me, people who are eager to show their contempt for any sort of non-mainstream theory are probably trying to get approval out of it. They want people to think they’re sensible, respectable, rational, without having to go to the trouble of actually reasoning.
Just look up the orthodox belief, and tell everybody you believe it without question, and mock anyone who ever questions it. That makes you rational. In this case, call them drug-addicts.
OP even quickly admitted he’d falsified/misrepresented the claims. But that makes him rational, because only loonies question what they’re told about Bigfoot.
Easy to see what they’re getting out of it.
I think OP was just making a funny, tbf.
On one hand, I get what you’re saying: the acceptable thing to think is that Sasquatches do not exist, and conforming is safe, and from that position of power since you’re in the majority you can mock others. Sure, it’s an ego thing, a quick jab to feel strong. On the other hand, maybe there’s just not enough evidence to believe in the Sasquatch and sometimes people share that opinion online. Regardless, you’ve been very courteous and I’m glad we’ve had a pleasant interaction. 👍
Yes, you have a nice day. In addition, death to America.
I used to be big into the woo woo conspiracy theory stuff thanks to shows on cable networks. So much so my uncle bought me the Time-Life books series about stuff like Sasquatch and ufos.
What snapped me out of it was a show about ley lines and how they hold power and mystery. They had on an international expert on ley lines who was… my school bus driver.
Almost 30 years later he’s still driving a bus, and will tell anyone who asks about his five minutes of fame.
But if those lines held that kind of power I think he’d have retired by now.
the History Channel…a name that with each passing day means less and less
I apologize for the youtube clip.
Jump to 1:30 if needed
“Ancient aliens” would definitely win me a game of Don’t Get Me Started. And I’d get started with how it’s all Carl Sagan’s fault.
And I’m so conflicted because Stargate is one of my favorite franchises and is completely based on that racist bullshit. As is Battlestar Galactica. And Pumaman. And probably a lot of Star Trek episodes. Including the really racist one where Space Africa tried to buy Tasha Yar.
BTW if you like that stuff check out Miniminuteman or Decoding the Unknown on YT. They’re totally googledebonkers.
(And also, don’t get me started on Paul Bennewitz.)
somebody who studied ley-lines was working-class, therefore there’s no North American primate
There’s too goddamn many North American primates if you ask me.
And it’s not that he’s working class but that he very clearly had some kind of mental illness based on my interactions with him, which cast doubt on every other “expert” these shows had on. I had personal experience with this guy and knew he wasn’t a reliable person.
And that doubt was verified when I looked up where those other supposed experts got their alleged degrees.
Name one such documentary or you’re making this up.
… you got me
I never actually watched one of these documentaries I just reposted a meme 😔
What’s the idea of deliberately misrepresenting the reports??

Account of Incident: Husband and wife were fishing on the Lewis river, coming downstream about 4:30 p.m. when they noticed a large object like a tree trunk close to the water, but a considerable distance from them. As they approached it started to move, entering the bush with big strides. Tracks were later found by Jim Erion a few hundred yards downstream. They showed under the water and came up onto a sandy beach. In the computer report the husband gave the distance as a quarter mile, while a newspaper report quoted the wife as saying it was 100 feet.

Account of Incident: Returning from town to a park service campsite at the base of Lewiston River dam about 10 p.m., Steven and Heller James found their tent knocked over and zipped open and their possessions scattered. Packing up to leave, Heller saw movement about 15 feet from her in front of their car. A brown creature then stood up and walked away towards the river’s edge. They came back in daylight and determined from the height of a tree branch where it had been that it was very tall (photo of Steven). Ground was too hard for tracks, but they found several a quarter mile away where it had come down to the paved road. These were photographed. A clear print near the asphalt sank an each deep where James, 150 lb., left no trace. Photo’s poor, but suggest about 15" x 6", and height about 8 Ft.

Account of Incident: Couple were camping with a tent on the beach below the bluff at Winema church camp. In bright moonlight they saw a dark figure walking on two legs from the south up the beach, apparently beachcombing. They noticed that its motion was very smooth, head not bobbing up and down as it walked, and that it appeared very large and came very fast. It went back south out of sight and they walked over to look at its tracks in the sand, then saw it returning. It approached very quickly but showing no sign of noticing them. They ran away, the woman first. The man let it come within about 50 feet. Height estimated 8 1/2 feet. Tracks in dry sand were photographed the next day, they were shapeless, about 25" by 10", far deeper than human tracks. Each pace was 65 to 70", and the width between the prints was about 18".

Account of Incident: Several residents of the Nez Perce Indian Reserve saw a large creature walking in a plowed field on a steep slope Southwest of the Nez Perce National Historical Park visitor center at Spalding about 6.30 in the evening. Becky Johnson, Denita Higheagle and Sue Buchel saw it from the visitor center, at a half mile distance, too big and dark to be a man. Tony Arthur and two others drove closer and saw it crouched behind some bushes at the edge of the field, about 100 yards away. He estimated height at 7 feet, hair dark, long and shaggy. There were tracks in the field, about 13 inches long, but indistinct. Stories of further sightings circulated afterwards.
i love how there is sasquatcharchives.com like of course there is.
Yes, people will research everything, human curiosity is our finest trait.
https://bfro.net/ seems more up-to-date.
Somehow, photo evidence of UFOs and Bigfoot has completely disappeared since everyone has a high resolution camera in their pocket.
Sightings have gone up, not down: https://www.statista.com/chart/8452/ufo-sightings-are-at-record-heights/
That says it peaked in 2014 though.
Good point
Someone from the electrical company who was fixing my heater informed me that it’s pronounced Sass quaa and not Sass quatch. He and his friends went on Sasquatch hunts and he gave me some good hiking recs. I haven’t been able to find his pronunciation elsewhere so I thought someone else might want to carry this important information with them.
There’s dozens of natuve names for it.
They used tp say this about UFOs too: “Nobody ever saw one, or if they did, it was the town drunk on his own with no corroboration”
Sneering and derision isn’t a good way to respond to information just because it doesn’t fit your preconceptions.
They still say this about people who say they saw UFOs because they’re no more credible now than they were then. They just chat together online more now and refuse to read reports correctly.
Kinda a dated view, IMO.
Deriding data doesn’t make the data go away. That’s what people used to do decades ago; now we have governments, militaries, researchers taking the UFO phenomenon seriously.
