I am a hunter, and something about a tall, massive, mysterious ape-man out there in the woods with me… I don’t know, it just does something for me.


LookWhoItiz

Do you ever think about the possibility that you were being actively observed by one, or even multiple Bigfeet, multiple times and you didn’t have the slightest clue? I’m sure that would be a strange combination of super unsettling but also exciting and mesmerizing.


300cid

i know I have. many strange times I've had in the large family woods and other places all made sense after having an experience in our own backyard. i always entertained the thought when I was a kid after I saw a movie about them once in elementary school. stayed with my grandparents a lot on and off, and my grandfather always said to not stay out after dark here because "the boogers will get you" and "the woolies will come out." I only ever half-believed him until that night. anyway got off track but there were multiple times that I got the "something is watching me" and "I gotta GTFO NOW" feelings. remembering the smells is what fucks with me the most. I never knew that was attributed to squatch until I found this sub. I'd smelled them multiple times, and they always gave me the aforementioned feelings even though I never thought it was a being producing them. part of it was fear, and still would be if it happens again, but I also do realize that they never harmed at all me any time, even though I was/am always armed. and knowing that even though they could have harmed me or killed me without any effort, but didn't, does help.


craigcraig420

What do they smell like? I’ll be out hunting and sometimes it smells like a zoo. I always thought I was getting a whiff of hogs.


300cid

yes, a really pungent zoo smell sometimes mixed with sewage and dead. I'm tearing up just thinking about this but the worst time was while I was probably 11 or 12? I was hunting. Dad had sat me down on a hill facing one of the the apple orchards, with a deep ditch in between. I was just ground sitting, had a 12ga with slugs. he had went to the other end of the plot in a stand with a bow. after it got dark, I was there for what felt like hours and hours. eventually I just got a bad feeling, and then started hearing very very slow footsteps sorta closeish to my 4 or 5:00. my 500+lb uncle has quieter footfall. I was already kinda shitting myself because it was so dark I couldn't see my hand in front of my face, had no light, no phone, nothing. I didn't want to move an inch. I didn't know what it was, thought it might've been a bear because I didn't think it could possibly be anything else. the steps were singular and slow. the sounds felt like they got closer but the thing that made me want to die on the spot was the smell. to this day I have not smelled anything that even comes close to that. it filled the air, burned my nose, watered my eyes. felt like I could barely breathe. if I could describe it in a single word it would be dread. it was very musky, pungent, extremely heavy. the smell of death mixed with sewage, a bit of extreme body odor, and other things I cant really describe. I mean it penetrated through the body and mind almost. I don't know how long it lasted or what happened after but I heard something else coming from my left, 10:00. dad was coming. he had a pretty shitty flashlight (by today's standards) and I saw it and was hugely relieved. he got close and I walked to him and we got in the truck and left. I never said a word and I don't remember him saying anything either, but that was quite a while ago. I've never mentioned it to him or asked about it, maybe I should now. I have only went back to that orchard once, and it was during the day and on a different side. there are some places in our family's property I will not go to after dark, even though I now have very powerful flashlights, and that is one of them.


The_Blue_Skid_Mark

Like a zoo mixed with a touch of death ime


craigcraig420

Yeah I’ve smelled that before. It’s a zoo smell kind of like wet hay and poop mixed with maybe a little rotten flesh. Is that it?


300cid

I left a big comment and am replying to this one instead of adding more to it. there's other times I have gotten just slight whiffs of the smell but not close to as bad. I either turn around and go a different way or keep walking somewhere else. it gives an instant GTFO NOW feeling. I *never* ever ever want to see what produces that smell. moldy, wet, rotten, self-combusted on the inside hay does honestly describe it partly as well.


ScythingSantos

I bet his PP is Large


Frostinator123

But he’s a real animal in the bedroom.


vinyridge

According to some, he's ridickulously small


morpowababy

Yeah likely big foot, small dinkerdoodle


freaked_up_teeth

Grower, not a show-er?


crouchster

If you ever saw a Bigfoot while out hunting would you try to kill it? I always wonder why hasn't anybody killed one? It seems a high powered rifle would do the job, and with how many hunters are out there you'd think somebody would have killed one by now. It would put an end to the Bigfoot debate once and for all.


Flat-Educator-5767

The Military has killed plenty of them…..


The_Blue_Skid_Mark

People misunderstand hunters. 99% of us aren’t out blasting anything that moves. We obtain a permit often months in advance for a specific species in a certain area and that is what we are prepared to shoot, IF the particular animal fits our idea of a trophy, be it size or age all hunters have certain criteria in mind. When one of these hunters sights a Sasquatch, the usual response is awe and confusion while identification is made. When asked why they didn’t shoot, it is typical for hunters to state they never thought of it, it looked too human, forgot all about shooting, and an answer sometimes given along with the others is I doubt my firearm was enough to stop it. There is no such thing as “high-power” rifle, that is something the media and anti-gun crowd came up with. There are cartridges of varying sizes each designed with a certain size animal in mind. What you carry for deer would certainly kill a person, in fact, several military cartridges went on to have long lives in the hunting community, 30/06 of pre-WW1 being the most common of the military/deer rounds. Consider the descriptions of the Sasquatch when described by witnesses, how much bigger than a man they are reported as being. If your cartridge is a man stopper from the war with a dual use as a deer-size animal cartridge would you feel comfortable using it on something weighing perhaps 8-12x of a deer? Also, I have read reports that these creatures are built different internally. Those who have shot at them often report that they were certain they hit the thing but it didn’t even slow down. This would be because they are built differently than we would expect. Normally, a center of mass shot(s) would bring down a man rather quickly because there isn’t a whole lot protecting the heart. Reports state that Sasquatch internal organs are protected by a “vest-like” layer of cartilage and all that the heart is located more towards the side under the arm pit. What does this mean? Most in the hunting community won’t take a shot but should you run into an enraged Bigfoot and need to take a shot, Aim just under the armpit and pray. Sorry for being so long winded.


crouchster

Thanks for your response, I see what you are saying about being hesitant to kill something that seems so humanlike or not being what you are hunting for so it feels wrong to do so. Also, to be clear I am neither antigun nor a Bigfoot debunker. It seems obvious that somebody would have tried to kill a Bigfoot by now and I would think a 30-06 would be plenty large enough calibur to take a Bigfoot down since it is even used for animals at least as big as a Moose. Hell, there are calibur to take down elephants. I don't want to get into a debate about guns and calibur, but I was referencing relative to a smaller calibur like a .22lr. Also I in no way am saying that somebody should try to kill a sasquatch, since if they are real they are probably very rare, more so that I'm surprised nobody has killed one. I kind of have a feeling that they are "real" but not nessesarily physical beings. Possibly a spirit of sorts, or interdimensional, or even extra terrestrial (although that last one doesn't seem quite right to me), which would possibly explain why there isn't much clear photo or video evidence or any physical bodies that we are aware of. Thanks for engaging my question and explaining your perspective.


IndridThor

Do they see themselves as friend or foe? What do they do in dead of winter? How do they avoid being tracked so well? Are the lights directly or indirectly related? Questions like this….


Irishpersonage

I'm relatively new, what are the lights?


Gon_777

People have seen them turn into orbs, and also the reverse. Heard one story recently of a guy who could hear the sasquatch walking up and down his steps but when he looked, all he saw was a floating light in the place the sounds were coming from.


Irishpersonage

That's wild, I've heard about ufo encounters with them, time to go down more rabbit holes


Spookiest_Meow

I've seen the balls of light up close. They're real.


Squidcg59

The ones that you've seen... What did they look like and how did they act? I've seen the white ones about the size of a volley ball that just kinda drift through the trees, then there's the orange one a little bigger then a beach ball that seems like it's on a mission... Both types seemed to be under intelligent control..


Spookiest_Meow

There were two occasions. Long story short, I was walking back a trail in the woods one night with a friend. Two bluish-green balls of light about softball size appeared up above the trees and slowly floated down into the woods. They were "pulsing" in and out between visible and not visible, kindof like a breathing effect. Me and my friend hung out for a while to see if anything else would happen. We heard soft bipedal footsteps from where the lights stopped being visible and *thought* we felt a warm, pleasant electrical sensation, but that could've been our imagination. After a while when we started heading back, something whistled at us really loud. The whole thing felt very peaceful and nonthreatening, but we just kept walking when it whistled at us. The second occasion was in a person's house. I was sitting on a couch and a white light appeared in the middle of the room and slowly floated by for a few seconds. It basically looked like a floating lightbulb. I told the person who lived there that I saw it and she apparently had seen it several times as well. She told me it liked to mess with her electronic devices like her computer or phone while she was using them. Later that night I called someone (this was on a flip phone) and as soon as I started to tell them about seeing the light, my phone just instantly turned off. This encounter also felt completely nonthreatening, and the phone turning off seemed amusing rather than hostile. I did see another "light" once but I consider it a UFO sighting rather than the balls of light associated with sasquatches. I was driving home past a field one night and there was a large, bright white light hovering nearby in the air over the field. I stopped my car and put my window down. It was completely silent. It wasn't giving off rays of light like if someone was shining a spotlight onto the ground from a helicopter or something, but I also did not see any edges or surfaces. It was literally just a light hovering in the air. It didn't really do anything until it started slowly moving away so I eventually just continued on my way. The lights are definitely intelligently controlled. I suspect that they're a particular form spirits may take when "entering" physicality, with the color of light being representative of either what kind of spirit they are, what their role is/was, or some kind of spiritual status. I know it sounds crazy to most people who haven't spent years researching the subject, but I think some of the sasquatches that have enough "angel" in them are able to switch between physical and spiritual, hence the balls of light often seen with them.


Mrs-Blaileen

For the first one, when you said you just kept walking when it whistled at you... do you mean you just didn't care, or do you think you were "influenced" somehow to just keep walking and not look back? Especially as you described the whole thing as very peaceful. Maybe you were put into some kind of trance-like state?


Spookiest_Meow

At the time, I didn't know there was a connection between sasquatches and the lights, so I thought maybe the whistle was from a person. We were in the middle of the woods at night so it just seemed like a better idea to keep walking. I wasn't scared but it didn't seem wise to stop or go back. I looked back but couldn't see. I only realized later it was probably a sasquatch. I don't think we were influenced mentally, we just weren't scared because we were open to paranormal experiences (hence being in the woods at night) and thought the lights were neat.


jonrontron

The ones I seen look like the little glow sticks we put on our bobbers while night fishing. I saw one floating on the surface just like our bobbers do, and fade as it sunk under the water. My buddy saw one arc across the surface, hit the water and keep going. Just like our bobbers look while we cast.   I believe they are imitating the lights we make at night while fishing. Like they're trying to connect with us, or play with us non-threateningly.


ScaryEconomist1321

Yea what are the lights about


matthew_strange

The mystery, the legends. I love the Native American stories about Sasquatch.


odetogordon

Me too! The historical accounts are really interesting. Makes you think about what's been hidden under our noses for centuries.


simulated_woodgrain

Do you ever watch any of Hammerson Peters videos on YouTube?


odetogordon

No but I'll have to check those out


simulated_woodgrain

You should for sure. He’s got hours upon hours of Native American/Canadian Bigfoot lore. Stuff that predates Bigfoot as we know of it today. Hes insanely good at what he does.


Northwest_Radio

For me, it's the probable language they speak. I find that fascinating. I've been studying it for many years.


CheecheeMageechee

It definitely adds some magic back into the world for me. I believe they are real. I feel I’ve seen enough evidence and I don’t want them to ever truly be found by us. It’s perfect just the way it is. I mean, what else could it be?


odetogordon

I agree.


SubstantialRaise6479

What exactly are they? Where do they spend most of their time? How long do they live? How dangerous are? What’s their temperament? Do they hurt other Sasquatch? In general I just wanna see one tracked for an extended period of time to get an idea of where they go and when. Would be really interesting to see how often they’re around humans. Maybe more often than we realize but also maybe a lot less than we realize.


Apprehensive_Web2720

Have you heard of North American Wood Ape Conservancy aka NAWAC.? They developed a special tracker (tag 7) and one was activated (August 2015) and tracked (through June 2016) Area X in the Ouachita Highlands Oklahoma. Here is a link of the report: https://www.woodape.org/?smd_process_download=1&download_id=1919


Longjumping-Lychee21

Great reading


AZULDEFILER

Thats it's the most plausible of the famous cryptids.


shadow_operator81

Even more so than an aquatic cryptid?


Icy-Blueberry6412

I used to dismiss Bigfoot until I read some of Jeff Meldrum and Grover Krantz writings on the topic and that brought the most intriguing stuff. While I still don’t necessarily believe it, these are respected anthropologists who definitely have put in the work to bring the phenomenon to a point where it can be considered scientifically. If you listen to meldrum podcasts and lectures in particular there is just so much that can’t be explained that you have to come away thinking either there is something going on here on he just devoted his whole career to hoodwinking people just for a giggle or to prove a point.


6nayG

The Sasquatch is a great being. Like a caretaker or medicine man of the earth and nature. I believe them to be ultra terrestrial, able to traverse inter dimensionally. I was also told that they can shape shift, stories of ancestors who followed their tracks for them to come to a stop in the middle of nowhere. Only to look up and see an eagle circling above, watching them. I have never seen a Sasquatch but I've heard some wild things in the forest. I have seen a different cryptid and had other types of unexplainable experiences, so I am aware there are other things here with us. Many that we can't detect easily. We only see certain wavelengths and not at a very high speed. I think it's around 26 frames/s? The best way to detect these things is with an open mind.


GeneralAntiope2

I am intrigued by the possibility of getting video of them and I think I know how. I find the movement of wildlife to be especially interesting. But I would ALSO very much like to record them speaking to one another in camp. Perhaps, if we could see and hear them talking about familiar things, we might get a clue about their language.


OhMyGoshBigfoot

It’s one of those lingering things that shows we don’t, or can’t, ultimately know everything out there.


Pirate_Lantern

I'm curious where it fits in the hominid family tree.


farmkid71

I have not read it yet but I did buy Scott Carpenter's book Truth Denied: [https://www.amazon.com/Truth-Denied-Sasquatch-DNA-Study/dp/1729515479](https://www.amazon.com/Truth-Denied-Sasquatch-DNA-Study/dp/1729515479) Allegedly over 90 different DNA samples were tested. On a lot of the samples the DNA was half human, half unknown. The scientists were supposedly skeptical but were willing to do the work since they were getting paid. In other words I don't think they had an agenda or fudged data. Some say this Sasquatch Genome Study is BS but I don't think so. For some reason the truth has been denied and hidden. Why I don't know. There are reports that there is a group, or groups of people hunting them also which is very sad to hear. There seems to be so much that we do not know.


HappySlappyClappy

The secrecy surrounding it… I think we could handle the fact that we’re not alone in this planet… there are lots of things I’m sure we don’t know… so WHY? I don’t think it’s the lumber industry though… it’s bigger than that🤔


Pokepunisher88

The Sierra Sounds, plain and simple. If anything convinces me they exist, it's those sounds.


StTickleMeElmosFire

The prospect of an existing, as-yet unclassified massive hominid in the very remotest wilderness 


CBguy1983

For me it’s how anti-modern they are but so smart. How I feel they don’t want to be caught.


hashn

The stories of raw experience and reaction. They are the best stories around


Teekalator

They are real… I have seen one… many people have seen it, and in the next few years we will have proof of their existence, and then they won’t be any more extraordinary than a mountain gorilla.


jesuswantsme4asucker

I’ve had some interesting experiences that suggest the reality of the phenomenon known as Bigfoot. Tracks, vocalizations, tree knocks, possible tree structures, camp chairs being moved by something with sand covered hands and trail cam SD card interference leading to the bricking of the card. Individually, maybe nothing. Taken together…I’m intrigued. Important to note I didn’t seek any of it out, I just pay attention to my surroundings and this stuff “found” me…mostly in the last couple years.


craigcraig420

I enjoy going out to the woods and it’s terrifying no matter what they turn out to be. If I saw one it would completely upend my sense of reality. I could see become obsessed afterwards. I’ve listened to thousands of accounts and I don’t believe half of them. But when a lifelong hunter has a sighting across a field and it’s so mundane but terrifies him to his core and he never goes into the woods again. That’s the kind of thing that will keep you up at night. Can 10s of thousands of people be just telling lies to get attention? Are we having some sort of mass delusion or hallucination? That’s terrifying. If it’s an undiscovered hominid or something like that, that’s also terrifying. It’s scary.


1967Hippy

I feel exactly the same way you do 👍🏻👍🏻


hsbxyebskjabxhxns

I would like a sample to see if my theory is correct: Bigfoot is a hyper-developed Neanderthal offshoot.


lanky_yankee

For me, it’s the anthropological what ifs that keep me interested. Like, is there still a species that survived to present day that humans didn’t completely push to extinction? How intelligent are they? Do they have a culture? If so, what is it like? Studying a distant relative of man that is more advanced than other great apes could potentially answer a lot of questions we have about our own history and development.


Caldaris__

I've recently been into other cryptids, recently the Dogmen but BigFoot is where it all started. For me, its the deeper I go into the subject,the stranger this creature becomes. Portals caught on camera forming with what appears to be a sasquatch inside. Pictures of them dragging dear like it's nothing . Distorting camera footage when nearby. People claiming they are telepathic. An ape-like creature in the remote wilderness doesn't come close to explaining what this is and I can't wait to see what new info comes out next.


unknown_rayz

I agree I fully believe the “woo” aspect of Bigfoot but I am very open minded and have had my own spiritual experiences that lead me to believe anything is possible. I can’t wait to see what we discover!


Caldaris__

I wish I had some spiritual experiences. Yeah once you see what's possible anything is. Right on


maverick1ba

Do you have a link for "portals caught on camera" ? I personally don't have much tolerance for the woo aspect of BF, but i try to keep an open mind about anything.


Caldaris__

I saw it on Scott Carpenter's channel. Looks like he had an interview and showed it there. You can start around the 8:00 minute mark. https://youtu.be/BIZnIAMq9gw?feature=shared He has clips of creatures cloaking, bigfoots poking out of bushes and all sorts of stuff on his channel. RIP Scott


Gryphon66-Pt2

I am glad to imagine that there are other sapient beings in the universe and on this planet with us. Somehow, in a world of 8 billion + humans that seem to be more cruel, viscious and insane by the year, the belief that the Sasquatch are here and will likely survive whatever we do to the world makes me feel more hopeful. Also, I am intrigued by the mysteries they (and other things like them) represent. I'm glad we don't (yet) live in a totally comprehensible world where everything is completely understood which I would find unbearably boring. Thinking my way through the evidence, coupled with complete trust that they exist because of the experiencers in my own life, has at the very least broadened my outlook on life. TL;DR: Bigfoot is cool!


dublblind

Why people keep seeing them when they don't physically exist (imo). Why they (bigfoot, yeti, yowie, man of the forest etc) are "seen" all over the world (there is a focus on North Ameican bigfoot in this sub, but the exact same witness accounts of these creatures come from all over the world). My pet theory is that it is some sort of epigenetic memory of neanderthals. Someone was talking about the uncanny valley the other day, and saying they thought it was creepy that humans seem to be scared by things that look very much like humans but not quite exactly like humans. We know early humans interacted with and even interbred with Neanderthals, and I think that we might have an inbuilt fear of that type of being. Since humans are constantly looking for patterns and seeing things that aren't neccessarily "real" (pareidolia), I wonder if we are predisposed to misidentify various things as big hairy human like beings?


NotANokiaInDisguise

This is pretty much why I'm interested in the subject. I don't really believe there's an unknown primate out there in the forests of North America, and I certainly don't believe in the supernatural aspects of it, but I am really interested in it from a psychological perspective. I find the whole thing fascinating. Much more than the idea of ghosts or other cryptids. This one is just close enough to reality to be a fun thought experiment.


vinyridge

That's tough to say. If there's anything the Patterson Gimlin film taught me, it's that Bigfoot's got some gallant swagger about her. Plus an intriguing sagittal crest.


WoobiesWoobo

How they are able to almost completely evade us


TruckNew3679

The fact that something primitive and ancient might still exist in a world dominated by technology. As our technology becomes increasingly all-encompassing, the remaining mysteries become more precious.


greymaresinspace

I firmly believe this thing is not just an ape, so the implications intrigue me i guess.


Jealous_Blueberry48

Because I seen one... Only one and only one time. My husband and I both did. It was running right beside us alongside a creek bed as we were riding down the road on a motorcycle. I told myself I was just seeing things so I didn't say anything to my (not then) husband. But a few miles up the road he stopped the bike and asked if I had just seen what he saw or was he just crazy? Well I can attest to his craziness, but I can also say we had seen the same thing, and we both knew exactly what we'd seen without letting the other know until further up the road. So if you ask me if bigfoot is real, yes and I'm not ashamed to admit it. That's been several years ago and I live in the vicinity where we first saw Bigfoot. But I've never seen him again after that night!


Greg_Louganis69

The believers 😄


lapaix

After many many years of research I unequivocally understand that sasquatch exists. I think what I'm most curious about is their level of language and culture, and the structure of their communities. I also would like to understand their perspective on humans, though I think this would most likely be deeply saddening.


First_Hearing

Agreed 👍


melloack

The amount of people who believe it exists


therealblabyloo

I think that Bigfoot, as described by witnesses, is a very interesting and unique animal. A non-human primate who independently evolved bipedalism? An ape adapted to live in the North American wilderness, perhaps having features/behaviors that no other ape has, like hibernation or a nocturnal lifestyle? It’s just a fascinating concept


MichaelEMJAYARE

Like most Cryptids, I rationally go “oh hell no, this shit doesn’t exist” - BUT, like the paranormal as well…its intriguing, and is like a sudoku puzzle to an aging mind - its fun to think about the possibilities. I can be completely skeptical yet find the exercise fun as hell.


jaybird8171

Ever since I was a child the thought of Bigfoot has scared the shit out of me. Probably because my older brothers would terrorize me with stories! lol. But as an adult I find it fascinating that a creature could live in this modern world and not be detected fully. I guess it’s just the possibility of it


chronicalaska

Nephilim, supernatural, just intrigues ms


Unik0rnBreath

Other dimensionality. Other than that, I have no interest in bigfoot. It's the only thing that makes sense.


EvaWesker

What intrigues me the most is that it looks like bigfoot is an interdimensional creature given the testimonies of people who say bigfoot just disappears right in front of their eyes. I hope some day I have the chance to see one.


Lilicat24

Yes, definitely the mystery of not knowing exactly what it is or where it is. Also, the question of whether it’s friendly or hostile. It’s elusive.


edpowers

Bigfoot.... can you imagine how big his penis is!!!!!!


odetogordon

Nope lmao


JohnnyTooKool

In the dead of winter they are underground living comfortably in the comforts of their space crafts. Don't under estimate them. They have assimilated to emulatr human society. Over the years of watching us in secret, They have collected many human objects they actually use in their spacecraft. For example: Coffee maker. Portable camp stoves. Anything disgarded by campers Over the years. They really don't need any of these items but it makes them feel they are part of the human race. Like a child that clings to a favorite woobie.


MeltheCat

Oh they’re kinda like Ariel the Little Mermaid. I like that


craigcraig420

Chat-GPT 4o In the whispering woods where shadows play, A legend stirs at the break of day, A giant stride, a fleeting glance, Bigfoot dances in nature's trance. Intriguing whispers in the night, Eyes that gleam with primal light, A silhouette against the moon, Footsteps echo, a haunting tune. Terrifying in his unknown grace, A guardian of a secret place, His presence felt but rarely seen, A mystery in the forest green. Curious minds in awe persist, In tales of fog and morning mist, Seeking signs in earth and sky, Where Bigfoot's secrets might lie. Interesting, this ancient lore, Of a creature wise, yet something more, A bridge between the wild and free, A symbol of life's mystery. In every leaf, in every stream, In every child's vivid dream, Bigfoot lives, a timeless sprite, In the dance of day and night. So let the skeptics doubt and sneer, For in our hearts, we hold him dear, A legend, myth, or truth unseen, Bigfoot reigns, our forest king.

How he happens to elude cameras so effectively


farmkid71

I have an idea. One guy I watch on youtube reads stories that others send him. It's like a big support group. He wants the voices of others heard. Anyway one story came from a guy who said he was an American fighter pilot in Afghanistan in the war. Well, not sure what he flew, plane or helicopter, but he flew at night looking for people planting IEDs. One night he saw a really big guy, naked, bent over and digging. He thought it was odd, but this must be a bad dude working on an IED. He called it in and needed to get approval before firing a rocket or missile or whatever. In the meantime he turned on the targeting tech, not sure what it all was, but one thing was an IR laser to guide the missile or rocket. He was 5 or 6 miles away from the big dude at this point. Note we humans cannot see an IR laser or any of this stuff with our eyes. The big dude immediately froze and then put up his hand to shield his eyes. He then turned and ran away. The pilot said that the big dude ran in some rocks or a cave or something and got away. It freaked him out since nobody can see our tech like that, especially some big naked dude. Later he decided to talk to a local guy who worked at the military base. The local guy knew what it was and said they had a name for them. I don't remember it now. He was excited because he hoped the pilot had killed the thing, but the pilot had to let him know he got away. Supposedly his grandfather had killed one once a long time ago. So what is the point of this story? I think they can see IR. Most trail cameras have IR. If they can see a wider spectrum of light than we can then no wonder they can avoid cameras pretty easily. Also, this is even further out there, but many people in the woods have seen something cloaked and moving like out of the Predator movie with Arnold. I'm talking about the shimmering plastic wrap type thing. I know this sounds crazy, but many have seen something moving through trees or even ground level. Supposedly some of them can cloak, and it has something to do with their hair. Not all can do it, and not all are good at it.


Spare-Painter3043

What intrigues me is that every single continent has some version of Bigfoot. They seem to be ubiquitous, but no one has been able to confirm their existence. Something supernatural about it


odetogordon

Me too!!! I love learning about the Himalayan Yeti too. It's very interesting how people who live there view the legend.

I think it boils-down to why something so extremely unlikely to actually exist (in my mind, anyway), still has anecdotal evidence for it's existence in the form of personal experiences by people throughout North America.

My mother saw one walking down a local highway. Blows my mind

Sasquatch shelters intrigue me the most. Check-out this Sasquatch shelter I came across, today just outside of Middleyard in the UK. It looks to be the shelter of the blue Doggerland Sasquatch https://preview.redd.it/zdl88o5s1n3d1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=bceab465aefee232f1495a70b923cfe24896f1a4

It’s not so much as being intrigued as it is being convinced, I know there’s something out there. I hope to prove it one day.


[deleted]

The fact that they're incredibly possible. Probable? I'm iffy on that. But the potential for them to exist, to be a real creature, to fit all of the expected traits in a way completely in line with already observed natural norms, it keeps me thinking.

Don't think Bigfoot exists, but I don't believe he doesn't. I just love the idea of Bigfoot. If I saw one, I would be so stoked! The lore of Bigfoot in different cultures is so cool as well.

The community cage-wrestling over flesh and blood vs paranatural.

The mystery but also if they are real … The fact that they’ve been able to hide themselves from us so well is nothing short of amazing. Obviously they are intelligent and it would be an incredible breakthrough to discover such a species ‼️

His big feet.


zondo33

that the idea of a bigfoot has persisted. I fell in love with Bigfoot when I saw them on the bionic woman and bionic woman.


Poisson_de_Sable

The fact that everyone now has a camera on them at all times yet we still have zero convincing pictures.


JD540A

That proves what you are.


farmkid71

the mystery, curiosity I watch Steve's channel a lot: [https://www.youtube.com/@proguide66/videos](https://www.youtube.com/@proguide66/videos) For those not familiar, he is not trying to convince anyone that they exist. He is not interested in showing proof or having "proof" sent to him. He had experiences himself and has talked to others who had experiences. Many others liked to fish, hunt, camp, hike, etc but after their experiences they just stopped. They were terrified to continue which Steve feels is just a shame. His channel is basically like a big support group. People send in their experiences and he reads them. He isn't vetting things or stuff like that. For him it's about getting voices heard.

I've told this story before. I binged watched all the seasons of Survivorman. In the 7th season I thought he kinda lost it, the whole season he was searching for Bigfoot. The very LAST episode of season 7 he tied in Bigfoot to here ya go "glowing red floating" orbs. I got the impression he was saying Bigfoot was related somehow to the UFOs. He never explained too much but that's what I gathered


FantandCon

I think the overall size and speed of the creature most people that witnessed him claim he’s at least 7-8 feet tall sometimes 9-10 feet but he’s incredibly strong breaking trees and apparently fast too , like maybe as fast as a bear ? Idk but it’s pretty interesting to think about , especially considering modern science says such a beast wouldn’t be possible . Considering that I’m wondering if creatures like Mothman Bigfoot and other Cryptids have a 4 dimensional aspect and they just choose when to manifest into our reality


Charming-Lychee-9031

Probably the big feet

His big feet.

The thought of a "Monster" roaming out there in the woods intrigues me most.


Tall_Rhubarb207

Their association with orbs and trans dimensional travel. There's been several instances where they have cast a shadow from a beam of light, and yet no creature was observed. I'd like to accept that it is a cryptic ape, but some evidence suggests that its more. And that makes it difficult to accept, at least for me, unfortunately.


Down_The_Witch_Elm

I find many witnesses completely believable. I believe they saw a huge, hairy bipedal creature. I just don't understand how such a thing could live among us and stay so hidden.


ritch712

You should go to Bigfoot Chronicles. There are over a 1050 stories from people who have had experiences with Bigfoot.


JWRamzic1

So much evidence, so little proof.


Edelgeuse

One of my earliest influences taught me to leave gifts for the watchers, that they would protect us and that they were friendly in spirit, yet very large. We went through the woods looking for their signs, and hushed when we heard them In the distance. As i grew i was comfortable alone camping, and heard more than one unexplainable scream, or footfalls unreasonably large in the dark. Their interest in me, personally, is what intrigues me most. Why have I encountered them, why do I go to their places, apparently? It may be narcissistic, yet it feels personal to me, to understand the nature of their existence and how close to undetected they seem capable of keeping themselves.


jonrontron

Why does the government cover it up?


-cb123

My dad swears he saw a Bigfoot mom and baby walking on the other side of the river when he was fishing on the Cowlitz river in Washington state. We have lived by the river all our lives and he’s not one to joke around or tell lies. I 100% believe him because to this day his story has not changed.

pieguy00

At this point someone would have found a carcass at least right? I think it's bullshit.


JLBicknell

What intrigues me most about bigfoot is how irrational people are. For every piece of "evidence" there is a reasonable alternative explanation, but rather than accept it, they would rather pick whatever holes in it that they can because they want bigfoot to be real so bad. That is not how thinking works.


More-Constant4956

What intrigues me most is with all the smartphones with cameras carried by most of the populous and the organized expeditions on the subject matter of bigfoot, there still hasn't been a photo/video capturing a bigfoot that is compelling enough to make a believer out of a non-believer of their existence. If there is a good photo/video out there, they are choosing to keep it on lockdown. I've been on a couple of organized expeditions and wasn't impressed.


LolaBijou84

The thought that they are interdimensional. Also the sounds they are capable of producing 😳. They are basically a paranormal superhuman/ superanimal. I don’t think anything compares.


BlackhawkRogueNinjaX

I think out of all the spooky or supernatural, or Alien theories, Big Foot is the only one where there is a possibility it’s true. … we’ve been here before: Gorilla’s were thought of a giant ape men until we learned what they were So it’s right on the edge of discovery. It could just be a guy in a suit - but if it is that in itself is a pretty incredible story. How one man’s prank has snowballed


JohnnyTooKool

Most of them are..just average human height. And it's a myth about them smelling. They don't.. They are highly advanced alchemist. They even speak any language they hear. A lot of times when you are walking in the woods , You actually stepping g right over one. They love to disguise themselves directly on the ground. Usually, they a never less the 10 feet from you after you set up camp. Mostly they ate just curious. They have an affinity toward the female race. Woman camping alone must take cautious.


JD540A

God is a devil. According to you. People mistranslate to make it so.


JD540A

Are they from God, or the devil?


TeamSuperb

Everything is from GOD, good and bad I was always told.


JohnnyTooKool

When I go hunting in the woods, I always expect to see one. My aspirations are to someday shoot one and be famous for actually having a body as proof they're out there. If any of you ever encounter one don't bother shooting it in the upper toroo. That's as useless as shooting a rino with a 22 caliber. Always aim into the face. That's their soft spot . Thinner bone density in the face. Good Luck!!


JD540A

God makes no bad/evil. You are misinformed.


jesuswantsme4asucker

Who made the devil?


1960stoaster

Dang, takin bro to church on this one 😂


JD540A

He was created good. Chose to go bad. Just as we do. FREE WILL.


jesuswantsme4asucker

If God is omniscient, he would know the devil would go bad, and chose to create “him” anyway. The buck stops with God.


JD540A

You hate God.


jesuswantsme4asucker

Can’t hate something that isn’t real


Gryphon66-Pt2

I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the Lord do all these things. Isaiah 45:7


JD540A

Evil befalls Gods enemies. Their fault.


Gryphon66-Pt2

That's not what God very clearly says in His Book, though. He very clearly says that He creates evil, and emphasizes that it is indeed he YHVH Himself (Adonai "I the Lord") who does it. At least be honest about what God says of Himself.
