Any of you guys or gals believe in Bigfoot?

[Orange_Crush]

This is the first I've seen this thread.  I actually watched the show on Discovery that the trailer on the site is for.

Personally, I find it interesting.  I think that the existence of a North American Ape is a lot more plausible than the Loch Ness monster or the Chupacabra. 

New species are being discovered all the time.  Really, the only way to prove the existence of a bigfoot-type creature is to kill it and bring a specimen in for examination.  If that's the case, I hope no one ever finds one.

Remember the Canadian who wanted to list them as endangered species?

I started a "do you believe in Bigfoot" thread on the old site and a bunch of guys had some interesting stories.

[my73charger]

I have always been intrigued by the idea but I doubt the existence.  Although when I was a kid my dad took me to see the "Mysterious Monsters" and after that film (I was around 11 years old) I think I saw Bigfoot behind every tree for about a year.  Scared the hell out of me.

  It probably won't be long before there is a credible picture/video tape of one now that there are more people out there looking for evidence!

  Who knows!!   I just wish people would be more serious about it over all.....it's going to take rock solid, in your face evidence to actually shut those type of people up once and for all.   Making a crack is okay but EVERYBODY seems to jump on the band wagon and ride it till it dies!

I believe it is possible some sort of ape is roaming the woods. As advanced as we would like to believe we are, we still do not have every species documented. Hell, there are dozens of Mountain Lion spottings a year in Maine, but when asked on the record the game wardens will only deny their existance.

So now you're dragging religion bashing into it? What's that got to do with anything?

Bigfoot's been busy.

Do you think Bigfoot can really drive?

Here is a wild sight.

When I started reading the sighting reports in British Columbia the hair on my neck stood up.

I used to live in Alberta and we would take big (I mean BIG) 4x4s deep into the Rockies to camp. Not in campsites but way back into the mountains where there were no people.

Two experiences:

Once camped next to river we had huge...and I mean 40-50lb rocks... thrown across the river at our campsite for almost 2 hours. More than a dozen witnesses. Freaked us out bad. Dogs went bezerk. The other side of the river had deep forest going up a mountain so the rocks were being thrown from a point above us. Turned one of the trucks around and hit the other side with full set of big rollbar lights. I swear to god all we saw was boulders flying out of the trees. Still creeps me out. Next day we went over and all you saw were holes in the ground from where the rocks used to be.

The other time, same deal...out deep in Alberta/BC Rockies and we had 5 big 4x4s ( 44" gumbo monster mudder ) and we running through muskeg. For those that don't know what that is imagine a lake.....now imagine the lake covered with a few inches of grassy sod and underneath is a few feet of decayed vegitation that is like black smelly goo. Like the worst liquid sh*t mud you've ever seen...with a stench that would kill a horse. We were in a big muskeg field with an island in the middle (solid land/trees) so we decided to see if we could make it to the island. This is in the middle of nowhere. About half way there two trucks got stuck and we were hooking up the winches to get them free when we heard the sound of rocks being banged together....coming from the island.....loudly......we heard it over the engines. I was in a Jeep J10 with a 401 with headers and I heard it over that. It was like something was trying to scare us away from the island. It did. We turned back.

I'm not saying I saw Sasquatch, but there is some spooky stuff up there deep in the mountains.

[gtx6970]

Yeah, I met him & Elvis on the space ship after I was abducted one time. Elvis was bigger too.

That might explain that strange zodiak sign you got there...

I'd rather know more about that Zodiac sign myself

Bigfoot   No

Larks' Tongues in Aspic
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Larks' Tongues in Aspic is a 1973 album by the British progressive rock group King Crimson. This album is the debut of King Crimson's third incarnation, and features original member and guitarist Robert Fripp and new members John Wetton (vocals, bass), David Cross (violin, mellotron), Jamie Muir (percussion, drums), and Bill Bruford (drums), as well as lyricist Richard Palmer-James. The album sees the band incorporate into its sound violin and also various exotic percussion instruments, including sheet metal and mbiras. The title was invented by percussionist Jamie Muir and is meant to signify what he heard in this album's music: something fragile and delicate (larks' tongues) encased in something corrosive and acidic (aspic).

The album opens with a long experimental instrumental piece titled "Larks' Tongues in Aspic, Part One." After that there are three vocal pieces, "Book of Saturday", "Exiles" and "Easy Money." These are followed by two more instrumentals, "The Talking Drum" and "Larks' Tongues in Aspic, Part Two." The instrumental pieces on this album have strong jazz fusion influences, and portions have an almost heavy metal feel. The angry, angular mood of this album is largely credited to the influence of Béla Bartók

I'd be willing to believe that there's an unknown big ape out there. 

Even though a lot of the widely-known Bigfoot "evidence" looks like prankster crap to me, there's still enough meat in the genre to make me wonder.  Too many consistent & unexplained stories, coming from too many legit witnesses, of certain things that would be too hard for pranksters to fake.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


People say it couldn't possibly still be undiscovered by now but I disagree.  There's still so much wild territory in the Northwest.  You can satellite-map a given chunk of land & carve a windy gravel road across it, but that doesn't mean you've really settled that chunk of land yet by a long shot.


And people don't always realize just how goddam smart a big ape like that would probably be.  Some of our trained sign-language-speaking Gorillas already know how to pop 4 quarters into a Coke machine and buy themselves a drink.  Those Gorillas would have been talking to us in english a long time ago if they had been born with the vocal/mouth equipment to say our words right.

If Bigfoot is really out there, he's probably smarter than anything in the animal kingdom that we've seen yet.  A smart Bigfoot might easily be on par with a Camaro-driving human.

On a par?  He'd be smarter than some of the ones I've met.

[69_500]

Can't say I really have any idea of whether or not they exist or not. But I can say this, the idea of a large ape living in the northwest of the US or even into the Midwest wouldn't be far out to me. Think back. People talked for hundreds of years about a large ape living in the middle of Africa. Calling it "King Kong", only later did we actually discover the species and now its known to everyone and even on display at many zoo's. SILVER BACK GORILLA'S. They were a legend of themselves for hundreds of years. No one could find any evidence of them, only stories of people seeing them but no solid proof.

Now I also think that there could be a possibility of a Yetti as well in the Himalaya's. When in Thailand talked to several people who claimed to have encountered them. And these weren't off their rocker types of people.

The area of this siting is about 300 yards from my house. Maybe this is the explanation for all the strange unexplainable things that have happened around here over the years.

[Brock Samson]

   Something in that report rang a bell with me. 

  Report # 1171  (Class A)
Submitted by witness Francine A. on Friday, October 10, 1997.

she writes, 20 years later... about an incident that took place in 1976//

  "all these years and what I had seen had stayed with me was finally being "vindicated". I called the author of the article and related my story to him. Several days later, though, I got a strange phone call. The person on the end of the line was a male voice that asked me what the "frequency was". I told him I didn't know what he as talking about, but he was very persistent that I knew the "frequency" I felt that this call was somehow related to the call I had had with the writer of the article several days earlier...maybe coincidence but still I wondered."


  from the Dan Rather entry on wikipedia.com

     http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dan_Rather


   "[edit] "Kenneth, what is the frequency?"
On October 4, 1986, as Rather was walking along Park Avenue in Manhattan to his apartment, he was attacked and punched from behind by a man who demanded to know, "Kenneth, what is the frequency?", while a second assailant also chased and beat him. As the assailant pummeled and kicked Rather, he kept repeating the question over and over again. In describing the incident, Rather said, "I got mugged. Who understands these things? I didn't and I don't now. I didn't make a lot of it at the time and I don't now. I wish I knew who did it and why, but I have no idea."

The incident and Rather's account led some to doubt the veracity of Rather's story, although the doorman and building supervisor who rescued Rather fully confirmed his version of events. The story entered popular lore and remained unsolved for some time. The incident inspired a song called "Kenneth, What's the Frequency?" by the band Game Theory in 1987, and in 1994 the band R.E.M. released the more widely-known song "What's the Frequency, Kenneth?" on the album Monster. It became the subject of many jokes over the years and slang for a confused or clueless person. Rather was a good sport about it, and actually sang with the band during a soundcheck prior to a gig at Madison Square Garden, New York, which was shown the following night on The Late Show With David Letterman before their performance of Crush With Eyeliner.

In 1997, a TV critic writing in the New York Daily News solved the mystery, and published a photo of the alleged assailant, William Tager. Rather confirmed the story: "There's no doubt in my mind that this is the person." "William Tager's identity as the man who attacked Mr. Rather was established in the course of an investigation by my office", said New York District Attorney Robert M. Morgenthau[40]. Tager also admitted assaulting Rather. Tager is currently serving a 25-year prison sentence for killing NBC stagehand Campbell Montgomery outside The Today Show studio in 1994.

In the December 2001 issue of Harper's Magazine, writer Paul Limbert Allman concluded that Professor Donald Barthelme (who died in 1989) had somehow orchestrated the attack through other unnamed persons, citing unusual passages in Barthelme's writing, including the phrase "What is the frequency?", a recurring character named Kenneth, and a short story about a pompous editor named Lather.[41] The article was adapted into two plays, both entitled "Kenneth, What is the Frequency?" The first was by Ian Allen and Monique LaForce and debuted in Washington, D.C., in 2003.[42] The second, written by Allman himself, premiered in Edinburgh, Scotland, in 2004.[43]

In the 2006-07 graphic novel Shooting War, the fictional Dan Rather of the year 2011 it portrays has adopted the personal motto, "The frequency is courage."

    I wonder...
