Ahhh someone who knows them! Just with them last month actually.. ImageUploadedByTalkBass1392170988.782002.jpg
 
ok, soooo I was always in the "fat chance its real" category, even though I tend to think that the world, and reality in general, is far stranger and weirder than we popularly believe and therefore weird things are possible... but Bigfoot??? come on!

well... I live in WV. Recently in a country town about 40 minutes from here a guy has started a sasquatch research group or whatever you call it. He made it in a local paper and all. He and a hunting buddy claimed to have seen the thing. Which, yeah yeah, sure sure. Well the dude has spent like $20,000 on equipment to set up trip cameras and the like to prove it. So still, Im kinda thinking small investment for lots of media hype if you come up with a blurry picture. Well the interesting thing to me is this. Once he went public about his project something weird happened. He thought he was gonna get made fun of everywhere he went in town and be mocked. Instead, within a month or so something like 40 other locals came to him and said theyd seen it too in the same hunting area but were afraid to tell anyone because of being ridiculed. So now theres this group of 40 country boys all claiming to have seen this thing and all working together to get proof.
I dunno... but that is interesting to me.

When they don't find it we can blame it on the creature's psychic powers; it doesn't want to be seen.

Simple.
 
OMG! thought this thread died. :)

hey, eyeballkid,.... them good ol' boys will never find BF trying. people often accidently cross paths with them if they are very fortunate. and others can say what they will, but i will never retract my story. even the telepathic part! perhaps i was the clairvoyant one that day, my sixth sense is very unpredictable! :)
 
I'm not saying it doesn't exist, but there's no reason to believe it exists.

Exactly. I'm not saying that sasquatches, leprechauns, unicorns, or purple six-legged cows don't exist either, but there's no reason to believe they exist. The default position of belief of an extraordinary claim is disbelief until sufficient evidence is presented.
