SASQUATCH: fact or fiction?!!

[Gorn]

Pacojas, what are your thoughts on sufficient proof of extraordinary claims? I understand that you believe you saw what you saw, but do you think that's a good enough reason for others to believe it? Whether you care what others think or not, do you think your personal testimony is sufficient evidence of bigfoots existence?

Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. Do you disagree? If you tell me you had a turkey sandwich, it's reasonable to believe you without evidence. If you tell me you saw a member of a telepathic bipedal primate species unknown to the general population living in the Pacific Northwest, can you understand why I don't believe you?

Wasting your time, bro. This dude is bonged off his face

Either that, or he's been running the most persistent troll thread ever. But on the off chance he can see reason....i don't have high hopes but I took a shot.

423 posts in, and his conviction is as fervent as when he started the thread. At first I thought he was playing us all along, but now I know he believes this stuff.

What's even more curious is the amount of support he seems to have accrued.

Most curious indeed.

Its funny that for so many so called sightings no one ever seems to have a camera, just a wild story.

If I saw what he saw, it would be more than sufficient proof, for me.

Others, not so much. I'd fully expect them to require more proof than that.

I figure more people would be willing to buy the story, or at least not dismiss it immediately....if it didn't include that whole telepathic thing...or shape-shifting or wormholes or orbs or whatever that is..

I hope I see one sometime, I would like to know if there real or not.

You won't. They aren't.

Not me. I'd think I was hallucinating or someone was messing with me. Either of those possibilities are vastly more likely than an intelligent primate species that's been around for 100,000+ years unnoticed by humanity.

 

[FretNoMore]

I would be looking over my shoulder trying to spot the hidden camera.

There is more chance of finding a large plesiosaur dwelling undetected in the icy depths of a Scottish loch.

Actually no. There is the same chance. None.

Considering the equipment available these days ( FLIR, Night Vision, remote-control drones, GPS, high-powered telescopes etc etc etc etc), we should be able to find something that is said by experts to inhabit specific areas.


There are many 'experts' on Bigfoot around.......that will be glad to fill you in on all things Bigfoot. Eating habits, likes and dislikes, preferred locations, communication techniques, shelter preferences, branch-breaking,wood-knocking, the list goes on.

How they know all this without ever encountering a Big foot in reality I don't know.

Oh wait......they don't know either.....they're guessing.

Where have you been? The OP is an expert.

That would entirely depend on what I ingested before the sighting.

 

[bluesblaster]

maybe they're aliens, you know, like wookies

So.....was the Patterson footage (late sixties) faked?

Yay or Nay?

Thumb up? Thumb down?

You mean the guy who set out with his buddy to make a bigfoot documentary, then stumbled across a bigfoot?

Hmmm, let me think about that...

lol,.. why are you guys down on the telepathy part?!! governments/militaries around the globe have been studying ESP for decades! law enforcement is another proponent of this science. modern man is so consumed by distractions that we can hardly think straight. so maybe perhaps BF is not telepathic, but i've have a lifetime of psychic experiences to drawn from, so i am 100% sure of my claims.

to answer the other question about proof,.. yes, i understand why people don't believe me and i don't mind. the best thing that could happen is that everyone calls me crazy and BF is left to prosper!

 

[Gorn]

It's odd how none or the real psychics and telepaths, even the law enforcement psychic helpers, want the $1,000,000 prize from the James Randi Educational Foundation. They must not like money.

You are aware that the few studies done on so-called mediums helping law enforcement have established that the results have never been better than sheer guesswork?

People want to believe...

It's very possible there are senses we have that function at a level below consciousness, and that we are capable of sensing phenomena in ways we are not yet aware of, but why are Aliens and Sasquatch telepathic? Because we want them to be.
