is there really a bigfoot monstor?

Although I probably wouldn't call it a monster, I definitely believe the evidence indicates it exists.  I guess it would certainly seem like a monster except to another Bigfoot. The evidence for Bigfoot goes back to Native American legends.  The footprint evidence alone, for those who really understand it, is extremely compelling.  The consistent reports of its behavior and looks is hard to explain.  Certainly some of this could be due to seeing something on TV but I don't think it accounts for all sightings and certainly not the ones before TV.  It is kind of sad to me that ignorance of this subject is so widespread.  For me it is one of the most interesting of subjects.  \n\nThe person who said that no hair or scat has been found is mistaken.  There has been numerous hairs and scat found.  DNA has so far been unsuccessful in determining origin.  The typcial BF hair lacks a medulla which typcially contains the DNA.  I do think that if someone could get a good hair with a root, it could be proved.  \n\nSomeone said that the wife of someone was in the suit.  Actually the wife of Ray Wallace was in a rediculous fur suit that wouldn't fool a 4 year old but the journalists failed to show the real suit and instead showed the Patterson film suggesting it was her.  The New York Times and other journalist should have been able to figure this out but I guess they don't quite rate up to a 4 year old's intellect.  Well in fact the NYT knew that the woman was in a different suit but it made a better story to suggest that she was the one in the famous film.  The Wallace family is seeking to capitalize on their father Ray, who died recently and who produced numerous hoaxes.  They have apparently even signed a movie deal with Judge Rheinhold.  The story is interesting, but the greatest hoax of all was that he fooled all the journalist in the end.  I really have no reason to think his family is pulling a fraud, they are just ignorant.   Ray Wallace's wooden feet and fur suit were extremely amatuerish.   He gained his interest after a bigfoot visited a construction site that he was contracted to construct, though not present at, above Bluff Creek in Northern California.  The Patterson film showing a female bigfoot walking next to Bluff Creek, 10 years later is real in my opinion.  It certainly wasn't Wallace's wife.  His wife is probably in the suit on this link: http://www.smh.com.au/ffximage/2005/10/16/bigfoot_narrowweb__200x308.jpg

If you're talking about the "tracks" in Paluxy river, Texas, these have been around, and been debunked, since the mid 1970's.  Even many creationist sources now recognize that the footprints are bogus.\n\nHowever, some creationist web sites and books *still* trot these out, decades after they've been debunked, as "evidence" of the co-existence of dinosaurs and humans, even though the overwhelming evidence is that they went extinct 65 *million* years before the first humans appeared.  \n\nIn other words, any source you see that brings up the Texas footprints is *not* the place you want to going for scientific information.

I have seen those same NASA pictures with those tall things you spoke of blurred out. You have to wonder just what it is they are hiding. It may not necessarily be anything alien, but some secret government project going on up there. However, I do believe there could be alien/ET activity going on also. I have seen some unbelievable footage over the last several months. Some of it is quite scary and makes you wonder just what is really going on in the world. I am convinced that there is major government cover-up when it comes to this stuff.

It is the dawn of a new season for the sasquatch.I think now thru around mid june is a good time to set eyes on one based on the thing coming down to feed.I found a picture of hair samples from last season's sightings that can not be explained that I know of.Also a couple lawmen sighted one they claimed in I think it was colorodo.

kinda. It fun to believe in Big Foot, and some of the stroies are convencing, but you have to say, how could that be true?

No, Dinosaurs are not a myth.  We have thousands of specimens of fossilized dinosaur remains that indicate that these were indeed real creatures that once lived on our planet.\n\nI have no idea what a "Dimo" is, so I can't answer whether or not the 'Anatomy and Physiology of the Dimo' supports the existence of Dinosaurs, however the anatomy and physiology of archosaurs, avians, and the dinosaurs themselves certainly supports their existence.\n\nThe bone of an animal does not out weigh the flesh.  The skeleton of a 150 pound man would only weigh 10 to 15 pounds.  That comes out to at most about 10% of the weight of the flesh.\n\nWhy wouldn't the creator make carnivores before man?  The bible even says he created the animals before he created man.  Even if you believe the flawed, illogical sequence of creation put forth in the biblical account, there's no reason not to believe that dinosaurs could exist.\n\n'What flood?'  Exactly!  What flood?  There is absolutely no geological evidence that there has ever been a global, total flood that covered the entire Earth in water.  Even if there were, it has nothing to do with the existence or not of dinosaurs.\n\nDinosaurs did not kill themselves off.  The hypothesis with the widest general acceptance in the scientific community is that a massive impact with a meteor or comet at the end of the Cretaceous in conjunction with other stressors brought about the extinction of the dinosaurs.  Certainly no one has ever suggested that the dinosaurs somehow deliberately caused the meteor to crash.\n\nWhat doesn't look natural about their construction in the various re-constructions you have seen?  I have seen some that look very good, and others that look like cheap Hollywood effects (mostly because they are).  I've also seen cartoons where people are depicted with yellow skin, giant bug eyes and three fingers.  That doesn't mean that people don't exist, just that the depiction is not very accurate.  Critters like three-toed sloth, pangolins, sea cucumbers and walking sticks don't look 'natural' either, and yet they do indeed exist.  Just because a creature doesn't meet your expectations of beauty or conform to your notion of what a proper animal looks like doesn't mean they are mythical.\n\nNo one has to lie to get people to 'believe' in evolution.  People who actually look at things like physical evidence and scientific experimentation without jumping to pre-drawn conclusions based on religious dogma are almost invariably convinced of the validity of evolutionary theory.  The only lies are spread by those who refuse to accept evidence that they erroneously believe attacks their religious beliefs.\n\nMan doesn't come directly from a fish.  If you look at the morphological and anatomical similarities between a Sarcopterygian fish and an early amphibian, between an amphibian and a reptile, between a synapsid reptile and an early mammal, between an early mammal and an insectivore, between an insectivore and a prosimian lemur, between a lemur and a monkey, between a monkey and an ape, between an ape and an early hominid, between the hominid and Homo erectus and between Homo erectus and Homo sapiens sapiens, you too will see the constant, slow and gradual development of some characters and the conservative retention of other characters that indicates a long and gradual evolutionary process from fish to man.\n\nThe Big Bang theory is a whole 'nother topic, even bigger, you might want to post another question about that.  It too has little to do with the reality of dinosaur existence.\n\nMaybe the book "Jarasic Park" talks about the "myth of Dinosaurus", but the novel "Jurassic Park" by Michael Crichton which was made into a series of increasingly bad films certainly does not.

While aliens and Bigfoot are among the many myths, folklore and "believe it or not" there are both photos, ancient markings, historical statements and personal account of both.\n\nAborigine Paintings dipicted many forms of figures not of human formations. The most obvious clues to an extraterrestrial visit long ago are found in the drawings of ancient cultures. One such drawing is located inside a cave in Kimberly Mountain, a peak on the western side of Australia. Haunting the surface of the cave walls are paintings of several beings with round heads and huge black eyes. Calling the figures in the paintings the Wondjina, the Aborigines consider the beings extremely sacred. The Wondjina, originally drawn in some period between ten thousand to thirty thousand years ago, bear little resemblance to any known earth creature. However, the Wondjina slightly resemble the gray type of aliens reported today by alleged alien abductees. The Wondjina and the Grays look similiar because they both have large, black eyes and a pear-shaped head. Therefore, it is possible that the Wondjina are actually aliens seen by the Aborigines a long time ago. \n\nIn the Sahara desert, another strange figure painted on the wall of a cave, the "Great Martian God", is located in the Tassili mountains. It was called the "Great Martian God" because it resembled Martians found in comic books. Discovered by Henri Lhote on an expedition after World War II into the mountains, the Martian, along with similiar nearby drawings depicting space men are drawn in a much larger scale than the nearby drawings of people, animals, and ones of Egyptian influence. \n\nA small but continuously growing body of physical evidence now exists, in addition to documented visual encounters. This evidence includes: photographs and casts of footprints and handprints, with some of the casts determined by dermal ridge experts to be of unknown primate origin; hair samples found in association with encounters that scientists have determined to be of unknown primate origin; and recorded vocalizations that expert bioacoustics analysts have determined to be of unknown primate origin.\n\nNative American cultures are also rich with related anecdotes pertaining to encounters extending back hundreds of years. Indeed, anthropologists have determined that tribes throughout the continent had names for these creatures such as Nalusa Falaya (Choctaw), Tsiatko (Puyallup/Nisqually), Skookum (Chinook), Windigo (Ojibway), Omah (Yurok), Bukwas (Kwakwaka'wakw), and many others.\n\nRegardless of the credence accorded the myths and legends of Native Americans, the Texas Bigfoot Research Center maintains that the body of contemporary sighting reports, ecological patterns and relationships arising from the study of those reports, along with the physical evidence that has accumulated during the last fifty years, and our own personal observations while in the field, all serve to indicate the existence of a living species that has yet to be documented.\n\nSo maybe it is a matter of what you want to believe.  Much study and wonder has been done to document the proof, or non-exsistance of many things...........\n\nAliens, Bigfoot, Heaven, Hell, the Easter Bunny, Santa Claus, Soul mates, the Tooth fairy, Unicorns and Christ have been under fire for years.\n\nWhich is most likely to exsist?  Belief, wonder, discovery, faith, culture or science?\n\nI would say that all things have the possibility to exsist with the understanding that all things could be fictitious.

what monster? No real evidence. I have lived near Lake Champlain many years. No one has ever had a good picture of \n"Champ".  perhaps some funny shaped stumps floating or otters, or other animals swimming on the surface. I am a skeptic even though I have friends who say they have seen it. although they are not really sure what they saw.

I have not encountered one, but I could literaly take a 20 minute walk to a building where I could see them. Waverly Hills is the hospital someone mentioned a few answers back. There was also the "Ghost Hunters" team from the sci-fi channel that caught a couple of glimpses of things that could not be explained, like the thermal resonance of a humanoid figure, about that height, in an empty hall. On the second-highest floor of a 5 story hospital, with all the exits blocked off after that was seen, they couldn't find what made the figure, and the odds of a technical glitch making an exact humanoid figure looking about 4 feet tall are astronomical by any standards.

I've never seen him but i have heard big foot lives around owl lake in the Adirondack park in NY state...i use to know some big foot hunters that traveled the country hunting big foot.  the other place big foot is suppose to have lived is i think Oregon.

In the world of science, videos don't carry too much weight.  If so, scientists would be arguing about how to classify Jabba the Hut in the animal kingdom.  There are far too many people out there with the skills to fake a bigfoot video and a great number of those people would love to make one just for the fun of it.  A video of the creature by itself is not much proof.\n\nStories of sightings are not too good either.  Witnesses can be deceived by all sorts of things.  Weather, mental condition, physial condition, lighting, alcohol/drug consumption, and injuries are just a few factors that could cause a person to believe that they saw something that was not there or to misidentify something they actually saw.  There are also the witnesses that lie.  A lot of people out there like to tell made up stories and some do it with hopes of cashing in.  A story by itself is not much use to science.\n\nFootprints are not too good either.  Lots of ways for nature to make a normal track look like something else.  Rain, melting snow, or an animal walking abnormally can cause larger than normal tracks.  Once again, there are a lot of people out there faking these footprints for the fun of it or for profit.  Go online and see how many bigfoot casts are being sold.\n\nWhat is needed to prove bigfoot, yeti, sasquatch, or any other mythical creature is a specimen dead or alive.  Nothing else will do.  That is the only way to prove that one exists.  With all of the people out in the wilderness these days, one should have been found dead by now or at least enough bones for identification.  None have been found.  \n\nThink of all of the hunters out there who are drooling of bagging a bigfoot.  Not a single sasquatch head has been mounted over a fireplace.  If anyone would have found one by now, it would have been the hunters.  They are more in tune with the animals of the northwest than pretty much anyone else out there.  If a bigfoot was out there, they would have shot one by now.  Some hunters can kill at a range of up to 500 yards and that is with a bullet that can kill a moose.  Bigfoot would not be able to avoid hunters if they can kill from such a range.  Remember, a deer is an animal that is prey to a lot of different animals so it needs to be able to hide.  Nature gave it the skills to avoid detection.  Yet they are not so hard to find if you know how to look for them.  Wolverines are some of the most elusive animals in North America.  There are not too many of them and they are smart and stay well hidden.  Yet, people can find them even though they are smaller than a bigfoot.  If a wolverine cannot avoid human detection, I do not see how a sasquatch could do it.

I do not think you are sick, or mental, or psyco or anything. I think you just have a great imagination. Who would have ever thought of a bigfoot unless they had an imagination. Who would have ever though that we could have computers, unless we have an imagination and determination that it can be real. So are you crazy: No. If you were crazy, then all does movie creators, Lord of the Ring, does creatures are not real, they are made up just like your story. Now if you really believe your mother had sex with a plant and your brothers are half plant and half human they you have issues, but you dont believe your story than man make sure you keep on writing and then one day it might be a movie!!! Good Luck

The source is a popular image that is widespread, but it's probably one of the better images of Bigfoot.

My beef with him is that he seems to say that mankind couldnt do anything complex or big without help. The pyramids are huge and were a monumental effort (no pun), so it must be aliens, huh? Easter Island, same thing. Stonehendge and all the other, smaller stone circles, the same, aliens. He brings up some interesting things, but he sees aliens everywhere. Its kinda kooky. Kooky and demeaning. If he only knew the Truth: that the aliens are actually highly evolved dinosaurs who were trapped in deep caves and have developed a high level of science and have created humans and 'grey aliens' and bigfoot.
