AS soon as you put Bigfoot into the category of having:-

Laser vision

The ability to enter or exit through portals

"Shapeshifting" ability......( the ability to disappear at will, become invisible, or change entirely into another entity or shape)

Then it is now in the same class as of "imaginary Holly-wood inspired entities"......like Werewolves and Zombies...

All flights of fantasy.folklore, and imagination......

as evidenced by the fact that no-one knows if a BigFoot can really do any of the above stated things....

We manufacture the evidence to fit the story.....

The mythical abilities of the Bigfoot are not "fact" ....they are simply campfire stories handed down from generation to generation

Pacojas asked if anyone had stories, and I relayed one that I heard; which is what one does on an internet forum. I simply repeated a story I was told by an acquaintance. I don't know what John saw that night, but John believes that it was not human.

I have an undecided opinion on whether or not Bigfoot exists. I have never seen any proof, but believing that as humans we have discovered everything that exists is a very arrogant way of thinking. I am open to the possibility, so I find the tales of real experience more interesting than insulting posts.

Wasn't trying to insult you, apologies, just relating my story too to make a point, nothing other than a thoughtful chuckle intended. I think it would be awesome if we had undiscovered mega fauna but I just don't think it's likely.

I wasn't being serious in my last few responses.:)

If they ever ACTUALLY find one and the proof is 100%

CONCLUSIVE...I will take back everything I ever said.


Apparently right now there is this mass project underway....the biggest that's ever been put together....to find a Sasquatch using all the latest technology available....

If they find one...well and good.......

But if they end up showing me blurry footage or shadows or "sounds"or images that are so far away you can't tell what they are
I won't believe them.....


They have to have 100% proof or I'm calling fake.......

@ZenG,... i honestly believe the government has the evidence! they know a lot of things that we aren't privy to. there is no real "end-game" scenario befitting these creatures. if the DNA/RNA is closely related to us, they won't end up in a zoo, etc. it's best for all parties to pull the wool over the situation and call it a day! i would suspect the most that we as humans can do is partition the land, which really isn't necessary, IMO.

Pacojas, do you believe any other mythical creatures exist? Have you had encounters with any of them?

lol,... now that was funny!

although i know what i saw was real, let me propose another angle. this time i'm wondering about human-primate hybrids. what if, the Russian's(sorry Russia) tried to clone human DNA with their finest gorilla. you know it not that difficult, soooooo....! let's forget about BF being extraterrestrial or prehistoric. let's pretend i never got scanned telephathically. let's just blame the Russian's because 30yrs ago some government accused them of cloning athletes & soldiers. let's blame our government because i stand by my story for life!!! it's too fantastic to believe without seeing, it's too hard to believe with seeing, some body is responsible for these beings.
the only other explanation is these are God's children and have every right to be here as well as a deer herd.

ya know what??? they are here, they are near, please don't fear, etc. ;)

We don't have the science to do that kind of hybrid today, let alone the Russians decades ago.

There have been alleged sightings in almost every state, if even half of them have some valitity than these things are all over the place, not just the pacific northwest, and yet still no creditable evidence, just stories by individuals. Until someone brings a real one in live or dead and is examined in an open forum by zoologists and the scientific community and declared to be a previously unknown species, than and only than, will I be a believer, until that its just folklore

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' ;)

If I knew you, if you were a friend, I would say I respect you too much to believe that you believe what you're saying.

As a stranger, I suspect you're either completely insane, or much more likely, having a little fun with us.

A cursory Google search will show that over 1300 new species have been discovered in the past 20 years.

here is a list of 10 mammals discovered in the last 10 years

http://www.theguardian.com/environment/2012/sep/13/new-mammals-discovered-10-years

there are mammals that live hundreds of years. (bowhead whale, over 200 years)
there are mammals with exceptionally long gestation periods (elephant 645 days)
there are mammals that can become pregnant but not have the egg imbed and grow until conditions are correct (approx 100 different mammals in 8 different orders)
there are egg laying mammals

Squatch may be improbable, but impossible? I say nay.
