Do you believe Bigfoot exists?

Although I don't believe that bigfoot exists, I think it would be cool if he did. In fact, I might consider perpetuating the legend myself. If I make it to 50 without tying the knot, then perhaps I'll build myself a pair of artificial bigfoot feet. Giant articulated shoes, loosely modeled after australopithecus or homo erectus for added realism. I'll strap them on in the wee hours of the morning after a fresh snowfall, or after rain shower when ground is muddy, and plod about while others are sleeping. Then I'll keep an eye on the local news for a few days. The trick will be finding places where I can put them on and take them off without the tracks looking too artificial. They have to begin and end somewhere, after all. This might even lead to new opportunities. I could become a self-proclaimed bigfootologist, write books, be a guest on Coast to Coast etc.

But seriously, I probably won't. Such things can be taken the wrong way, and it does seem a little dishonest. If I could do it in a way that people would enjoy, then I suppose, but there are already enough practical jokers who do this kind of thing. And that's exactly what I think most cryptozoologists are at heart: practical jokers. Much like the folks responsible for crop circles.

That's when you know you've "made it" ;-p

If it exists as other animals do, then it would leave markings, feces, remains (at least burials) etc.

Okay, I'm willing to accept that it may be Rosie O'Donnell. I'll go no further than that!

I'm sure bigfoot would have far more class than that troll.

Yes, I totally believe in a creature who has never turned up a body, produced any offspring, exposed a nesting site, been caught in a steady and reliable video, or left behind hair and bone samples. Totally believable.

I don't doubt that people have seen or heard strange things out in the woods. I just find it heard to believe that no one has ever shot one, been killed by one, or managed to turn up solid physical evidence. Shaky video, blurry photos, and eyewitness accounts just don't cut it anymore. Until a real body turns up I will always be highly skeptical that such a large creature could remind unnoticed for decades without leaving a single trace behind.

Yet you believe in a being of which there is no physical evidence or proven visual sightings? No photographs or videos, no actual proven contact? That the only reason you believe in him in the first place is because a book says he exists and you assume he responds to your prayers when you might be speaking to open air? A little perspective is required when making such statements.

Rosie O'Donnell, is that you?

 

[Thunder Peel]

Rosie O'Donnell, is that you?

Well, she has left some bad movies in her wake. I suppose we could use that to prove Bigfoot exists.

I've watched finding bigfoot and I believe it is possible that Bigfoot is real.

 

[AshleyWillow]

i don't know, I would like to beleive there is something like that out there, but like other people have said, there really hasn't been much evidence, except maybe foot prints. But who knows what those could of really been.

Well then using the same principles, why do you believe in God?

 

[AshleyWillow]

That doesn't really apply . I've seen proof of god because I've prayed and he has given me answers.I see no reason to believe in a bigfoot.

 

[TheVoiceOfFate]

May I ask what these prayers and answers were? They can't exactly be proof otherwise your religion wouldn't be based on faith. Bigfoot obviously doesn't exist, but people could just as easily say that they've got all the proof they need because of sightings and testimonials of him.

 

[AshleyWillow]

I prefer not to. There kind of personal and I don't wish to simply because one person thinks I'm wrong. I guess I should of phrased it better. Your right, not all of them can be proof, some can be just coincidence, but I beleive personally that it can be. I know well enough, because it's happened to me before, even in the worst parts of my life.

I'm a new christian. The whole reason I started turning to god was because of my depression and cutting problems. Also from a certain someone, who helped me to stop. It helps with my family problems too. I'm not saying I'm completley ruling out possibilities, but when I see it, I'll beleive it. People who try to track down Bigfoot do what you stated anyway.

Turtleman from Call of the Wildman shared his childhood Bigfoot sighting.
He seems like a pretty trustworthy guy and he knows a lot about animals...
