Exactly. It is this sense of curiosity in the face of the unknown, the big WHAT IF??, that keeps me coming back to read more about the subject. I have no personal experiences. The bits of hard evidence I've seen is still lacking, IMO. But it's the enormous body of anecdotal evidence that keeps me hooked. They can't possibly all be liars and hoaxers. It is a fact. People are seeing and hearing and smelling SOMETHING out there. Why aren't more people fascinated with this subject?

@rmcdaniel423 Yes! You could think of it this way: There are really TWO Sasquatches, the silly tabloid version, star of cartoons and dumb movies...and then there's this actual, overwhelming creature that people (first Native American and then all the others) have been encountering for centuries. They are not the same thing at all, though most people lump them together in their minds. (Credit to Matthew Moneymaker, Founder and Director of the BFRO, for clarifying this distinction for me.) .

I am skeptical. But I have been interested in this subject since I was in the 7th grade. Thats when I saw the movie "Mysterious Monsters". I used to hunt and fish a lot, and I have never seen one of these creatures. Also, I havent seen a picture or a video that I could say for certain that it was a bigfoot. There are a few people that I do believe their eyewitness story though. I watch several researchers on here. Maybe someday someone will have undeniable proof. Thanks for your videos.

@clewi1091 I didn't mean to suggest that all skeptics are lazy. Of course, a healthy skepticism in the face of an extraordinary claim is initially important. Here are some books I would recommend to all skeptics: SASQUATCH: EVIDENCE, by Grover Krantz; THE APES AMONG US, by John Green; SASQUATCH: LEGEND MEETS SCIENCE, by Dr. Jeff Meldrum; and NORTH AMERICA'S GREAT APE: THE SASQUATCH, by John Bindernagel. Read these books with an attentive mind and see where they lead you.

@rmcdaniel423  You'd be knowing squire.

[rmcdaniel423]

@MsPlum5 You are dumb. Or a hypocritical liar. Because if you truly are bored of bigfoot, and have no belief or interest whatsoever, WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING HERE?!?

So, the footprints that have been cast do not exist? The calls that have been recorded, the unidentifiable hair that has been collected and cataloged, the sightings by reputable observers, the 1000s of reports spanning hundreds of years and an entire continent ... none of that exists?

I think YOU are the deluded one.

[MsPlum5]

@rmcdaniel423 I'll tell you why! It is because, there is not one shred of evidence for it's existence ( you will say there is - I know there isn't ). Somebody claimed that he is magical and he could be standing two feet away from you and you couldn't see him ( if he didn't want you to ). I love the paranormal but, two subject that have worn out their welcome are UFOs and BIGFOOT. They have become boring!

We're not all interested in the same things, as far as that goes. Personally, I love mysteries. Loch Ness and Big Foot are two of my favorite mysteries. But the way the subjects are portrayed on tv, usually from a place of ridicule,hoax or unsolved mystery - it sort of spoon feeds the general opinion - until someone gets interested enough to do their own research. I have discovered via youtube that BF is real just this past month! Whereas Nessy, I still really don't know...

it is super important. this species does exist, no question. Once you have an experience, it changes everything!

[flapjack9999]

Nice video.

Have you ever had a 'squatch come up to you and just hang out?

[Coaljet]

I think that the answer is that a lot of people just don't care to think beyond what they know on an everyday level. It takes courage to completely throw oneself open to what *might* be, and accept all the possible fallout of one's worldview suddenly changing forever. Most people just don't care to ponder that, and may be afraid of what they could discover. On the other hand, Sasquatch seem to want to remain apart from humans. It would be a great day in history if we ever learn why that is.

We should install a million of camera traps, or at least a few thousands or hundreds of such devices.

I for one am glad for all the skepticism. The last thing I want to see is an actual bigfoot on TV selling hamburgers or viagra. And that's exactly what would happen if "scientists" ever discovered them.
