Re: General Cryptid Topic
What good would it do? Whether anyone 'believes' or not is irrelevant when concrete evidence of Bigfoot's existence seems impossible to obtain. Believers sometimes spend years searching in the woods and never have a single sighting, while the most hardline skeptic who considers the whole subject a joke might randomly find one of these things with its face pressed up against his living room window one night. It's all down to chance. Or maybe it isn't, I don't know.Destoroyah of Worlds wrote:I wish i could feed you all a pill or drug of some kind that would dissolve and MAKE some of you believe in bigfoot.

Even if it's not true, I really enjoy listening to this stuff and reading it as entertainment. I love researchers take the time to talk to native american communities, and try to blend the spiritual side with science.
May I ask what you think of the Sasquatch phenomenon?

I know a researcher who gave up and just accepted the fact that he'll never know and he has no control over this. He didn't want to be one of those guys who spends decades and never finds anything. He just accepted that it is whatever it is.

I used to be obsessed with it as a kid but eventually the more I read the more apparent it was that if there was a real breeding population of sasaquatches in America we'd have some sort of undeniable proofDestoroyah of Worlds wrote:You did?

Don't listen to those podcast because they're probably just people looking for fame, make sure to dive deep into a sighting to make sure it's legitimate... actually capture one?Destoroyah of Worlds wrote:What can i do to convince you there MIGHT be something?

But what if they come back with proof of having found a chain of vaguely bones shaped islands that has a giant one?tyrantgoji wrote:

Re: General Cryptid Topic
I think there's something to it. There are hoaxes, lies, and misinterpretations involved, absolutely... but it's been going on too long, too many sightings, too many tracks, to just be nothing but that stuff. Even if one is inclined to dismiss Native American beliefs for whatever reason, some sightings were reported by isolated people or communities long before Bigfoot was in the (non-Native) collective consciousness, and before there was anything to be gained from a hoax. And even today, many sightings are reported anonymously, so those people can't be attention seekers... some are just liars or wrong, but all of them? I don't know. That'd be pretty depressing, wouldn't it?Destoroyah of Worlds wrote: May I ask what you think of the Sasquatch phenomenon?
As for exactly what Bigfoot is... I don't totally discount the possibility of an unknown primate. If these creatures are as smart as or smarter than we are, combined with their in-depth knowledge of forest environments, they could certainly be elusive if they wanted to. The fact that none of them ever screw up and get shot or hit by a vehicle or die in a conspicuous location or stand still long enough for someone to get a decent photograph is a problem, though. There is the possibility of a coverup by logging companies and/or the government, but it's hard to believe it would be this effective.
So, as I've said elsewhere in this thread, I think Bigfoot is something more than flesh and blood as we know them. An interdimensional entity, a 'spirit', whatever you want to call it... it exists in a state we don't understand, apparently flickering in and out of reality as we know it, or possibly changing form, and that's why we can't find it. Other cryptids, ghosts, UFOs, and various religious entities (no offense) behave similarly, so that implies that they may be part of this same phenomenon. These things are encountered constantly, everywhere on Earth, across every culture and all throughout human history, and while they may appear in different guises for different times and places, they behave broadly the same way. That doesn't seem like a coincidence.

Re: General Cryptid Topic
One thing that really irritates me is how bigfoot "researchers" have to get involved with every other cryptid that vaguely sounds like a great ape. Orang Pendek? It's a bigfoot! Sure, the supposed foot morphology, behavior, and appearance is different, but it's an ape that walks on 2 legs, so it must be the same! Mapinguary? It walsk bipedally and is hairy, right? it MUST be a south american bigfoot. Let's just conveniently ignore the giant claws, horselike face, and long tail that tally better with a giant sloth (Which is something that did live in the area and we have proof of existing), this is proof positive great apes exist in the americas because it would make sense for them to colonize south america too!

Cryptozoologists have this weird mix of believing ALL this bullshit and also downplaying the weird. Like, yes these legends of a shark squid sea god are real but it's not REALLY a god its just an octopus, the same octopus as these dudes in Asia talk about despite having no contact and wildly different accounts

I like the idea that Nessie could be a giant mollusk rather than a plesiosaur or whatever, because I really want giant mollusks to exist.

Re: General Cryptid Topic
A cool concept came to me in my head and wanted to share it since this is the most appropriate. Something I'd love to see in a show, movie, or such.
The idea that Bigfoots/Sasquatches are spiritual beings from the Spirit World that at times comes into our world before returning back to the former being these guardians of forests.
