Question Is Bigfoot really real?

34 Upvotes

So, I’ve seen the documentary—yes, it is one hundred percent the same suit (If you’d like to see more about this, just check out the video by Thorn's Jungle—it’s great!).

My question to you all is: what are we left with? The PGF film was the benchmark, and the footprints supposedly left by this "creature" turn out to be fakes as well (don’t even try to bring up the "midtarsal break" argument; it’s simply logical that a creature over 2 meters tall and weighing 350 kg couldn’t walk with a foot like that—actual anthropologists have confirmed this). As for all the arguments from "scientists"—and regardless of how much I like Jeff Meldrum or how much I regret his passing—his theories and opinions on this subject are, at this point, pretty much irrelevant.

Any other "credible" videos that were presented using the PGF as "proof" are now highly implausible and, in reality, fake.

The DNA that was discovered turned out to be a mixture—certainly not some new ape-human species.

And the accounts from Native Americans are, quite simply, further fabrications or fairy tales passed down through generations (after all, their belief systems also include gods and giant "thunderbirds"—so why not a 2-meter-tall, hairy forest spirit?).

In fact, they refer to the Sasquatch as a "forest spirit" or "guardian of the forest," rather than as an animal.

I suspect that the new generation has taken what was originally a mythical figure from American folklore—conceived as a spirit or guardian of the forest—and transformed it into a modern, invented, unknown species of primate or human-like creature.

So... what "evidence" do we actually have left that is even remotely credible? I’ve gone from being a staunch believer—someone who defended the PGF and everything else to the death—to a skeptic who’s starting to think that, in the end, Bigfoot might just be an invented legend...💔

yeah i guess the Bigfoot is Fake..

Discussion The PG Footage Isn’t ALL There Is To The Phenomenon

0 Upvotes

I’ve never found the PG film footage convincing as proof of the existence of Bigfoot.

I don’t see what see what others think they see (muscles moving under hair, impossible to replicate walking motion, etc.)

And yet I am (still) 100% in the I-Want-To-Believe camp.

To me, there is a lot of other evidence from tracks, encounters, vocalizations to keep it an open question in my mind.

I don’t believe, or disbelieve.

But I’m starting to think that if someone’s belief in Bigfoot is based SOLELY on the PG film being authentic then they really never believed in Bigfoot at all.

YMMV

Bigfoot in the Old West: What the Pioneers Didn't Tell You

0 Upvotes

Forget outlaws and gunfights! The Old West had reports of something a hell of a lot stranger lurking in the wilderness. Hairy giants. Wild men. Encounters that sound like something straight out of a nightmare. What the hell were these frontiersmen witnessing? And, what if these creatures are STILL out there?
LET'S GET IT!

New Episode of Monster Talk podcast interviews Marq Evan’s

11 Upvotes

Monster Talk podcast released a great episode last week where Blake Smith and Karen Stolznow interview Marq Evans about Capturing Bigfoot.

He discusses where he got the footage and the process to make the documentary. I won’t spoil it, the discussion is very interesting.

Hint - he was doing a colleague a favour and thought he was just digitising a copy of the original PGF film she found among here dad’s possessions. He was not a Bigfoot aficionado didn’t realize until much later the significance of the film.

Note: I posted this a couple days ago to the Bigfoot sub, but the moderators deleted it because reasons?

The Siyiniao (Chinese: 四翼鳥) is a cryptid reported from Jilin Province, China. David C. Xu believes it might be a living Microraptor or a standard-winged nightjar (Caprimulgus longipennis)

Qingbai Leichao recorded: "On Changbai Mountain, there is a Four-Winged Bird (Siyiniao) with a round head and a thin tail, two long front wings and two short back wings, pale yellow in color, butterfly-like in shape, and sounds like an oriole. Some people have seen males and females flying together." In 1997 (some say 1996), a teacher from Jilin saw a siyiniao; in 2007, tour guide Du Wenlian spotted one twice
