Default Bigfoot - Sasquatch

We have a thread on UFO's so why not this? Anyone have any first-hand experiences? I'm just optimistically dumb enough to want to believe and I do have a buddy who spent a couple summers working in Banff who had an experience he couldn't explain.

Share away - I love this stuff - safe space and all that!

I’m kinda fascinated about this topic as well. Given the expanse of the Canadian Forests - I want to believe.

Bigfoot at 50 Evaluating a Half-Century of Bigfoot Evidence
http://www.csicop.org/si/show/bigfoo...gfoot_evidence

Quote:
Ultimately, the biggest problem with the argument for the existence of Bigfoot is that no bones or bodies have been discovered. This is really the 800-pound Bigfoot on the researchers’ backs, and no matter how they explain away the lack of other types of evidence, the simple fact remains that, unlike nearly every other serious “scientific” pursuit, they can't point to a live or dead sample of what they're studying. If the Bigfoot creatures across the United States are really out there, then each passing day should be one day closer to their discovery. The story we're being asked to believe is that thousands of giant, hairy, mysterious creatures are constantly eluding capture and discovery and have for a century or more. At some point, a Bigfoot’s luck must run out: one out of the thousands must wander onto a freeway and get killed by a car, or get shot by a hunter, or die of natural causes and be discovered by a hiker. Each passing week and month and year and decade that go by without definite proof of the existence of Bigfoot make its existence less and less likely.

On the other hand, if Bigfoot is instead a self-perpetuating phenomenon with no genuine creature at its core, the stories, sightings, and legends will likely continue unabated for centuries.

Half of these in Canada are Dustin Byfuglien sightings.

As soon as I hear somebody talk about bigfoot as though he could be real I instantly know they are a dope of the highest order.

If Bigfoot isn't real, why was the UCP so hellbent on waging war against him then?

Who would you say are more "dopey" though; people who think bigfoot exists or people who think aliens exist?

I used dopey above, but I know you wanted to use another word there!

Could interrupt petroleum operations up at Fort Mac, if any baby Bigfoots were watching the Netflix film, they could get bad ideas, turn into activists, and destroy the O/G industry, just like the Laurentian Elites in Ottawa do daily.

Man, aliens have to exist. I can't accept that they don't. We're just not that special hah.

But it's a near impossibility that ours is the only planet, of the trillions of planets which exist in the known universe, that has life.

I suppose mine is more wondering about the logistics of Einstein and them visiting us. Not just other lifeforms and whether they exist. I should have been more specific about that.

I'd like to think they exist cause I think they are kind of cool, but the fact that no one has ever found a carcass makes me think they are mythical creatures.

Someone would of found one by now.

I figure we are either a fluke of luck in the Universe, or it is teaming with life. Once we find life anywhere else in our solar system, the question is pretty much answered. But we have yet to see that.

Science tells us that it is almost impossible for alien life to not exist somewhere in the universe. Whether the alien life is "intelligent" and have visited Early is another story.

Science also indicates that Bigfoot is probably not real due to an overwhelming lack of physical evidence.

I mean Bigfoot is more of a possibility than Skydaddy.
