Bigfoot - real or not?

Good grief, look at the costume in that recreation compared to the film. It's absurd to compare it. There's never any explanation on how they were able to outdo what Hollywood could do at the time.
So lack of explanation as to how a costume fit holds more weight for you than the absurdity implicit in the concept of a mythical beast?

I don't know what it was that day, but I know that is was not a dude in a ape suit ot a bear. I have come to regret sharing what I saw that day with this board. But I have come to understand how the fear of ridicule prevents people who have seen something strange to say something. I don't know one way or another if bigfoot exists, but if they do, I saw a juvenile one.

I would also like to say that I totally understand the skeptics, and I guess I'm one too. But what I've come to despise are those who try to tell me what I must have seen instead. I saw what I saw.
Dag nabbit. I must’ve missed this tale. I remember the money clip on the fence post story.
Nonetheless, I believe you Soybean.

I just saw this stabilized footage for the first time. Not sure if it leads me one way or the other.

What say you?
 
I believe you bean. I once experienced something paranormal, girlfriend witnessed. I was playing the fool taking off my shirt. Then I threw it in our bedroom when it flew right back at me.

There’s just no possible explanation but we both saw it happen.
A friend of mine told a story of when he was a kid, he and his buddies were chucking rocks at an abandoned house in their neighborhood. It was the middle of the night and there were perhaps about 4-5 of them doing this. All of a sudden, they were barraged by an arsenal of rocks that were projected at them from the vacant house. There wasn’t anybody in or around the house that could’ve done this. In fact, he stated there were so many rocks that there would’ve been about a dozen people to accomplish this.
suffice to say, they were scared out of their wits and took off running.

Never visited the vacant house ever again.

Not at all. I don't think Bigfoot exists based on most likely evidence.

However, the Patterson film is one piece of evidence in the other direction, and I don't think it's remotely been debunked. If you've got a piece of film from 1967 that predates the ability for special effects etc, and it shows something for which their is no explanation, that is worthy of some attention. It's not enough to prove the existence of bigfoot, but its notable.

But to simply say the film is debunked because bigfoot doesn't exist...that's circular reasoning obviously.
 
I believe they are real because of the thousands of sightings I have trouble believing every single one of those people are nuts. There's a lot of people that absolutely swear that they saw one and it couldn't have been anything else.

You are consistent in your belief mechanisms Tom,.. I'll give you that.
 
Whatever happened to the Bermuda Triangle? When I was young that seemed like a big deal.
When people talk about things they thought would be big problems in life as children quicksand, killer bees, swallowing bubble gum all get talked about often but when I was a kid I thought there was a giant triangle in the ocean that was like 100/100 death trap. Strong disappointment.

Older brothers were smoking up in there….

They made a Scooby Doo episode around the Bermuda Triangle. Of course it had to be true.
 
I don’t know of any living creature that lives in snowy areas to have snow stick to the bottom of their feet. That is a dude wearing boots…
It’s not snow.

And the PG film isn’t low res. It’s a copy. The original has never been released.

I lived/worked in Northern California for a few years. I never saw anything but two guys I know had crazy stories.

Mike Leach said it best: "we've found all sorts of dinosaur bones and fossils, but we've not found any bigfoot bones. So I'd like to believe Bigfoot exists, I want to believe that, but I just think we'd have found some bone/fossil evidence if he did."

I for one am very glad you shared your story.
 
Killer bees, great whites and quicksand. Fellow child of the 70s.
As an 80s kid, it was all of those plus- everyone was deathly scared of AIDs to the point that every stranger had it, and if they touched you or ate at the same restaurant, you'd get it and instantly wither away and die in a few days, razor blades were found in Halloween candy from that one neighborhood, from that one next town over, acid rain would burn through your skin and destroy all trees and grass, and every abandoned house and undeveloped, suburban parcel lurked a satanic cult that kidnapped and sacrificed young kids and babies.

My mother took us to see Jaws...on our first night at the beach.

I didn't. You responded to a post where other links were posted.

That was a little before my time, but remember hearing that after that came out, the beaches in FL were virtual ghost towns, even to the point where it negatively affected the local tourism (which is everything in coastal FL), bringing it to a grinding halt. Other than The Right Stuff, I don't think any other movie has made such an impact to my area.

All I know is that if I find big foot bones, I'm doing this...

I've had situations like this as well. Witnessed something that I chalked up as being paranormal, and nobody has ever been able to give me an explanation for what could have caused it. They just make a comment about not doing drugs.


With that said, bigfoot does seem farfetched. But I do enjoy watching videos of "it" that people have caught on camera. One in particular was really fascinating. It was 2 dudes that had hiked up a mountain and we're taking a break. And all the way across the valley, they witnessed a large figure trucking it through deep snow, up a mountain, as if it was just walking normally. I'll try to track down the video.

I believe you saw something that you cannot neatly fit into a bucket, but was actually a common one with some abnormalities going on either physically or behaviorally.

Didn’t you tell a story one time on Warchant about getting stuck or lost in a Toyota in the woods one night and saw something like Bigfoot?
 
That would be impressive as the film was captured in october at low elevation. And the fact that there's no snow on the ground in the movie.
All that white mist be the camera washed out then….still to me it doesn’t look barefoot. Looks to have some straight sole. Watch a human or ape walk barefoot…oh, and Belem, Bigfoot is fake news. A hoax.😉
