Hunt for the Skinwalker is a good book.

I believe the only mammals found on every continent (excluding Antarctica) are mice/rats. Bigfoot like creatures are sited on all these as well which is my biggest issue. Not enough food source in all those places.
This leaves me two main thoughts:
1. It's something engrained in the humans psyche we don't understand. We see the boogie man as some residual predator/prey instinct. This explains worldwide sightings for hundreds/thousands of years.
2. We are catching a glimpse of something not an animal. This would explain:
- No bodies
- Worldwide sightings
- Blurry photos
Perhaps it's something spiritual, or evil, we aren't meant to be seeing...
"There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that..." - Genesis 6:4
While I love the biological creature idea, it's hard to believe for me. I'll probably catch some flack for the second theory but I don't mind. The Nephilim (also the Watchers) and their giant descendants are a fascinating theological discussion, and I'm surprised it doesn't get brought up more in Bigfoot theories.
Regardless of what you think, here's an awesome encounter from Les Stroud, Survivor Man.
The second story is great...

Thousands of miles of highway, traveled day & night by millions of trucks, cars, vans, etc., etc.... with tens of thousands wild game (+ some people) struck and killed every year and yet....not ONE sasquatch carcass. Think about it.

Objective reality is collectively experienced and understood through subjective lives, over and over, across time and environment.
And some environments are "thin," where smart and trustworthy people report similiar things.
But the good thing for the materialists on this board: one way or another, eventually you will find out.
I believe Bigfoot exists in this sense. It is a real phenomenon that has entered our human hivemind because we can experience a paranormal or preternatural occurance.

As for the Patterson video, both the guy who made the suit and who wore it came forward eventually. Just like the guy who took the original Nessie picture did (The Surgeons photo), but once it's out there it becomes like trying to prove (or disprove) a negative. Despite the lack of evidence, some start with the belief that it's real and need to be proven that it's not. It's not an argument that can be won logically, just like any conspiracy theory debate.
It is not 100% incorrect. The man who made the suit was named Phillip Morris, the man in the suit was Bob Heironimus, and both had several corroborating contemporary witnesses. Patterson was called a con man by a number of people who knew him, and even a Gimlin later admitted he may have been had, though he always stuck to the fact that's he didn't know.Aggie MHA said:oragator said:

That's 100% incorrect. Patterson said it was true on his deathbed. He died very early of cancer. Gimlin was offered close to $1 million recently by TV execs to admit it was a hoax. I heard the TV guy interviewed. I believe it was for the 50th anniversary. He denied. Saying what he saw that day was real.
Also, Gimlin was carrying a rifle. If Patterson kept him in the dark as part of the hoax... he and the suit guy were both very dumb.

I'll, believe it when Q drops a crumb about Bigfoot.
- What is hairy?

- You know more than you think you do!
Can you look up all these stories for us? I'm not sure I am following your claims. Sounds interesting.Redstone said:
Maybe the deep woods "does" something to the human psyche. We imagine.
Or.
Maybe our materialist conceptions can be much more false than we want them to be. Look up the (many) firsthand accounts of a person having sight and sound of their companion(s), and then - total silence.

Google the David Paulides Missing 411 books and fairly recent movie.
To be clear, he never once said these are due to bigfoot, portals, UFOs, etc. Those are other people's theories about what he's discovered. He just lays out all the facts about the disappearances. It's all very fact driven. He's ex- law enforcement, and his work reflects that.
Have fun with that rabbit hole...
