yeah, blues. this will hopefully stay folklore. if though, one day in the not so distant future you are watching an NFL game and the star running back gets 450yds rushing, but won't remove his helmet...

just sayin' ;)



I assumed that "highly specialized" was universally understood to imply a full regiment of supernatural abilities.:|

I thought you were talking about their football skills.
 
thanks for the great links, guys! sepecially, rtslinger's.

here is further info on these apes, http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/3730574.stm

OMG!!! over two meters tall and ferocious enough to fell lions!!! i'm glad BF is so compassionate to humans. people claim BF can run down deer and break their necks in one fell swoop,... AWESOME!!!

well, maybe some of the doubters can believe the BBC,... i definitely DO! and again, just because psychic phenomemon can't be quantified, doesn't mean it's not real.
shame on you! you would make terrible researchers. :(

Nice. A ten year old story about a new gorilla/chimp species in a remote jungle where gorillas and chimps have lived for millennia.
 
yeah,.. they've been there forever and we just found them in 2004!??eek:
and are you saying an ape couldn't adapt and thrive in a vast dense forest in N. America?:(

okayyyy! :confused:
Bigfoot has to have parents. Those parents have to have parents, as do all the other Bigfeet that contribute towards the population. Everything has ancestry, and yet not a single primate is native to anywhere in North America. Where did Bigfoot evolve from? Where are his evolutionary cousins and ancestors? You don't get species that randomly occur, evolution involves tens and hundreds of thousands and even millions of years to work. There's not a lot of spontaneous creation in nature.
 
Pacojas is trolling.

Speculating about the existence of mythical creatures is one thing, but he claims to have met them after having been controlled by their telepathy.

He's a real TBer with feedback. If he believed the nonsense he's spewing, it wouldn't be laced with emoticons and links to BS video and 10 year old articles.

Kudos for keeping this going as long as you did, but I've personally had enough.

Could it be that he is not trolling, but genuinely believes what he saw?
You may have had enough, but I dont believe anyone is forced to participate.
He's stuck in a difficult position, stating what he saw, when he knows that he isnt going to be taken seriously by a majority of people. Humility seems like a good approach as any.

+1. Maybe we're being trolled, maybe not. Maybe BF exists, maybe not. I have no idea, and I'm not afraid to say so. Being cock sure ain't sexy.
 
I asked him to describe them for us since he claims to have had close contact, still waiting for that description.*

Quite frankly I think your bulls**ting us, hope your getting some laughs

ya know,.. i knew this wouldn't be easy. and i don't know why "blues" keeps missing my descriptions. i am not trolling, but i have had some great chuckles with all the teasing. i'm a happy, well adjusted guy in his 50's. i have nothing to be upset about as the survey shows that i am not alone. of the many sightings that i've heard about, there are too many constants to ignore.*
after holding my story for several years trying to make sense of it all, i saw a site with witness reports. more than a couple of people had a visual or audible experience in the same location as mine! what follows is an excerpt of the report i sent in,

i have had two Sasquatch encounters,...
the first was in Shasta County across the road from Round Mt in the mid-90's. this was a "Class A" sighting from a distance of less than 50ft

the subject was approx. 6'4" and slender. it was a young adult, very athletic, and obviously curious & intelligent. i felt compelled to get out of my truck and walk to a vantage point as if under hypnotsis. upon seeing him/her, we silently acknowledged one another for several seconds before it turned and dashed to the tree line. once there, it swiftly pivoted from tree to tree using its hands to switch direction by cupping the saplings while running on two legs.

Encounter Two was a "Class B" that included hearing bi-pedial foot steps and wood knocking. this was on a summer night, 2008, in Mendocino County. i was with a friend when i heard what sounded like two or more people walking through the forest on private land. i yelled, "who's there" several times with no reply. i alerted my friend who was in a separate cabin. we speculated it must be animals since no vehicle noise or lights were evident and he went inside.

a few minutes later, i heard the foot steps again and began to panic as they got louder. i ran to get my buddy and it got quiet again. i asked him to stay out with me. ten minutes later, from the top *of the ridge came the loudest wood on wood "BANG" i have ever heard!!! we were dumb founded. we just couldn't decide what could've been that strong.

EDIT: i have to add that those loud "wood on wood" bangs when on for several minutes. it echo'd through the canyon like a cannon volley! :eek:
 
Sorry buddy, Im not buying it

you felt compelled to get out of your truck to get a closer look at a what was essentially a very large apelike creature running loose in northern california, having no way of knowing how it was going to react to your presence ? that in itself is foolish, you just dont walk toward a large wild animal (especially something that big) unless you want to get injured or killed. Did you just assume it would be friends with you ?

"two or more bi pedal people walking" that adds up to a quadraped which pretty much covers most woodland critters.

i'm glad you brought that up! it's hard to spell it out sometime. i was driving before i saw it. the impulse was spontaneous as if someone tapped me on the shoulder and demanded i stop. my passenger asked me why i stopped, i said wait here and started off in a random direction until i reached the BF! i had zero reason to stop, get out, and just take off.*

sorry for the confusion, but glad you pointed that out.*

ps: and if you think i don't know the difference between bipedal and quadrapedal foot steps, i forgive you. :)

Your passenger sat in the car and waited, whilst you strolled off into the woods to answer a telepathic call from a mythical creature.

I love TB.

there are many intricate details missing from my excerpt, but in a nut-shell, yes! i find no reason to deviate from my account other than to add a sidenote.

either the creature was psychic,... or i am!:hyper: again, too many details that aren't necessary for this thread. i'm not trying to convince anyone,.. i am taking a poll. :)

BTW,.. did you check any of the above links from people who support my findings? have you noticed in this poll how the NO's are losing traction. i don't mind that some of you have no clue. it's better for these awesome beings. people that don't understand are the kind to shoot first, then ask!:( brush-up on your surroundings and open your mind, my friend. you been kept in the dark for too long. there's a whole other side. :hyper:

ps: read some of the government documents on the Paranormal. it would blow your mind. you see,.. while they tell us that BF, UFO's, and ESP are NOT REAL,.. they are running Confidential Programs on behalf of all these phenomenom!:ninja:

again,.. it's not about me convincing anyone... the proof is right there. so even if one person on that page of reports is telling the truth,.. i'm vindicated. "THIS IS NOT A TROLL THREAD" :D
