I'm sure it's BS, but at the same time I'm addicted to Squatch shit. Even a fake Bigfoot is better than no Bigfoot.

[Polecat]

If it cost admission to see it then you can bet it is a hoax. I can get my squatch fix by not shaving for a month and looking in the mirror.

There is some marginal evidence for Yeti and the Alma from Asia/Russia . However whatever it was is likely gone now

It almost certainly exists. Google 'Tibetan Blue Bear'.

Looks like my first wife but not quite as hairy

There are believers and then there's the others. When I was a child we still had freaks at the carnivals. I saw the bodies of mermaids and monkey men. Some of my friends insisted they were real. "We saw it."

Consider:
"The Piltdown Man was a paleoanthropological hoax in which bone fragments were presented as the fossilised (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fossil) remains of a previously unknown early human (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_evolution). These fragments consisted of parts of a skull (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_skull) and jawbone (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_mandible), said to have been collected in 1912 from a gravel pit at Piltdown, East Sussex (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piltdown,_East_Sussex), England. The Latin name (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binomial_nomenclature) Eoanthropus dawsoni ("Dawson's dawn-man", after the collector Charles Dawson (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Dawson)) was given to the specimen. The significance of the specimen remained the subject of controversy until it was exposed in 1953 as a forgery, consisting of the lower jawbone of an orangutan (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orangutan) deliberately combined with the cranium (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cranium) of a fully developed modern human (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modern_human)."

What amazes me with Piltdown man is that it started in 1912 and wasn't proven to be a hoax until 1953.

What was that saying from P.T. Barnum?

You mean they finally found him?

I did and it appears to be a rare speices of bear. I think the Alma is the most likely to have existed 150 years ago, but not likely now.

Potentially. We can dismiss Sławomir Rawicz' famous story about meeting one, though. :P

When I was a kid they used to have a traveling trailer with supposedly the body of a mummy. They had another of what was said to be a caveman. People actually paid to see these displays.

Im one of those guys that doesnt believe in sasquatch, Nessie or the jersey devil etc

...I love the idea but with all the hoopla over this, with all the tv shows about it, all the bigfoot hunters and our elite military technology no one has EVER found a corpse...not one...if they are real, they need to die; natural causes, hit by cars, killed by trigger happy hunters, or other animals...bigfoot is as real as Santa Claus...

Along with the story about a human mating with one and producing offspring. However, it is interesting to note that they were listed in guidebooks along side normal fauna, at least raising the possibility that their existence was taken as a matter of fact at the time

When I was young and stupid, as opposed to old and stupid, I went on a humongous bender and I think I woke up next to this one the next morning.

:rofl:

I loved the interview of this guy. He figured out that for a scam like this, any publicity is good publicity.

Hoax. Rick Dyer pulled this in 2008 with a rubber ape costume:

http://www.snopes.com/photos/supernatural/bigfoot2014.asp

However, Dyer made the same claim back in mid-2008, when he maintained he had found the body of a dead Sasquatch nearly 8 feet tall and weighing 500 pounds next to a stream while he was hiking through some woods in Georgia. Dyer and his partner released a photograph of the creature inside a freezer and promised to provide DNA evidence at an upcoming press conference. However, after the supposed Bigfoot body was unveiled at a press conference a few months later, it was revealed to be nothing more than a rubber ape costume

A man who claims he killed Bigfoot and said he’s got the proof, took his story on the road but didn’t exactly get a warm reception in Phoenix. So now, he’s trying his his luck in Albuquerque.

Tucked inside a glass case inside a trailer is where Rick Dyer is hauling what he claims to be the body of Bigfoot. It’s not the first place you would think to the real Sasquatch.


Some said it looks like it’s part of a circus act. However, Dyer, the self-proclaimed Bigfoot hunter, said it’s the real deal and he’s taking it on country-wide tour, even making a stop in Albuquerque.


Dyer said the creature stands 8 feet tall and weighed almost 800 pounds when he killed it. He said its feet measure about 13 inches long and his head is a lot bigger than the average man’s.


“His head, as you can see, is almost three times as big as mine,” Dyer said.


Dyer said he shot it in September 2012 outside of San Antonio after being in the woods only six days. He shot cellphone video of what he claims is proof Bigfoot was alive before he shot it.


“I was on a mission to find him because of what happened in 2008,” Dyer said.


If the name Rick Dyer sounds familiar, it should. In 2008, Dyer was busted trying to pass a rubber suit as the body of Bigfoot. It was a complete hoax.

I've never understood the mentality that to prove the existence of bigfoot or some sort of human/ape hybrid or a lesser evolved human species living in the wilderness it means that it must be shot and killed by a hunter or someone like that. I think everybody knows that this particular instance is a hoax but the funny thing is that the guy claims to have killed two of them. Why kill them? Where is the self control? Where is the connection to nature and to historical context? Scientists discover new species all the time in remote jungles and places around the world and they show proof of it with legitimate photographs and videos and research. They aren't killing a previously thought extinct species or newly discovered species so that they could parade it around later on. It's irresponsible behavior but thankfully this person most likely didn't actually kill anything and is just out for publicity.

Since they are fake, nothing has been killed except for this guy's credibility. He's milking it for cash now, but I suspect what he makes barely covers his travel expenses.

And then only because someone was drilling into the skull and it burned from the friction. Had it been as old as claimed it would not have burned. I did a science report on Piltdown Man in 1957 when I was in the 8th grade.

[Paperback Writer]

I've met some people at the BBC who are quite credible individuals, not prone to hysteria who do believe in the possibility and existence of this creature. Personally, I haven't given it much thought but to dismiss it entirely when even one of your own presidents swore an encounter seems a bit drastic.

[Bob]

I don't know about this so called big foot, but maybe a year or two ago I got interested in some sort of Devil dog like animal either in South Australia or Tasmania. This animal had once lived and they had evidence.

I will see what I can dig up.

Yes, this is the animal and there are photos of it also.

That animal did exist. It was hunted out of extinction as we almost did to wolves in the US and did do to the dodo bird and the passenger pigeon.

A creature as large as Bigfoot would, literally, leave a footprint of evidence if it did exist. There should be skeletons, habitats and better than fuzzy photos from chance encounters.

People make lots of money perpetuating myths. The loch ness monster has been a gold mine for that area of scotland for a long time.

The best example of all this is all The ghost hunters on tv and none of them ever see a ghost. I especially laugh at the silly ghost box thing that supposedly hears ghost talk.
