Why there is still doubt about Patterson-Gimlin movie when it has been demonstrated it was impossible to obtain such an advanced costume in 1967 ?

2 things, one statement, one question

  1. This is probably the most terrifying and credible sounding encounter I've ever heard. Ever. Absolutely terrifying.

[Sasquatch Chronicles] SC EP:796 The Stand Off #sasquatchChronicles https://podcastaddict.com/sasquatch-chronicles/episode/129278157 via @PodcastAddict

  1. He mentions that the creature was down on all fours on its toes (and fingers I assume) I've heard this in a few other encounters before and I'm just trying to wrap my head around what this would look like visually. Has anybody ever seen a drawn picture or sketch or recereatuon of what this would look like? Why do you think they do that? Anatomically, what would be the purpose of that type of movement or position?

Ham radio and Bigfoot

Even we ham radio geeks know a thing or two. This is a page out of a local club newsletter.

In amateur radio, a Special Event Station is a special operation usually in observation or commemoration of a special or historical event, often with a special vanity call sign. These stations generally operate for a short time and have special QSL (trading like/confirmation of a radio contact) cards to commemorate the event.

The Berezovsky miracle, a yeti-like cryptid reported from Southern Russia. It was said to have sharp claws instead of fingers, mismatched eyes, and would gush black blood when wounded.

Looking for a Bigfoot Costume that can explain them all.

So, I've listened to more than 250 accounts of first hand experiences involving Bigfoot. All of this time I'm thinking how can these things be faked assuming the more than 10,000 recorded sightings are indeed all fake.

I've come up with a list of things that a costume would have to do in order to satisfy that all of these stories had a "guy in a costume". Can anyone link a Bigfoot costume that meets these requirements (and a price tag would also be nice too)? And please, leave the jokes and snide comments to yourself, I'd like to see this costume for sale anywhere in the world.

  1. Allows a 6 foot man to be 9-10 feet tall, proportional and able to move

  2. No visible seams/zippers/buttons

  3. Allows the user to safely transverse across moving water up to the costumes chest

4, Allows the user's hands to reach the knees of the costume and remain articulate enough to use the fingers

  1. Allows for enlarged facial features (larger than a man's mouth/eyes that are wider apart than a man's eyes, etc.) and is still able to navigate a forested area in it

  2. Allows for the scaling of rock cliffs

  3. Allows the user to lift and throw objects that are at least 150 pounds more than 50 yards with an accuracy allowing it to hit and puncture a normal sized pickup truck's windshield (think javelin)

  4. Does not over heat the user if they are walking up hills or in other more difficult terrain

  5. Allows the user to navigate in forested areas at night with no infra red lights or other artificial light sources

  6. Was available between the time frames of 1846- current

  7. Leaves convincing footprints up to 22 inches (and still allows the user to move)

  8. Allows the user to emit a scream/howl at decibels high enough to vibrate a car as well as the driver's guts

  9. Allows the user to maintain enough situational awareness as to avoid being caught or seen should the user wish it

  10. Allows for the emission of an odor, on demand, that is extremely foul

  11. Must also have options for male genitalia, female breasts and an infant version

If anyone can link to me a suit that allows for even half of those then I'll show you a military contract worth billions.

What CHANGED?!

So you're going along living your best life and there one is, in whatever way you experienced it.

That happened, you encountered Sasquatch.

Can you recall something that changed in your mind?

AS i write this, Spotify played Never Alone in Nature by Tom Day.

Everything changed for me, but it was a natural experience because i've always known they existed, same way i know i exist.

Did I see an adolescent Sasquatch?

I did the June Lake Trail hike in the Gifford Pinchot National Forest, Washington USA. I took my dog and daughter. We were on the way home, driving through the remote area. Still out of cell range, before hitting Cougar, WA. I was regularly looking in my rear view mirror to see if my toddler daughter had fallen asleep. I work for an electricity utility so I was noting the transmission infrastructure, thinking about wild fires and noting the general landscape. At one point when I looked in my rear view I noticed a dark figure crossing the road from my right to left. They walked right off the road into the brush. Because I had just driven through there and was taking notice of the landscape features I knew there wasn’t a path or road on either side. There were no signs regarding day use areas, camping, car pullouts etc around that area. Nothing near where I saw it hinted that this would be a place humans would be, if that makes sense. The right side is forested. The left side has medium to large shrubs near the road and then goes uphill into taller grass where transmission lines went through. Eventually turning back to forest.

The reason I say “adolescent Sasquatch” is because it wasn’t a huge, hulking form. It looked bulky but not “fat” and no larger than an average man. It was walking with a purpose like it knew right where it wanted to be going. It was the “why here?” aspect that struck me as so strange.

Funny enough just now when I was refreshing my memory to the trail name in AllTrails, I noticed the trail next to that one is called Sasquatch Trail. That area is definitely Sasquatch Country, I had actually made a post on IG before losing service crossing over a bridge, captioned it “headed to Sasquatch Country” or something. Perhaps a premonition or they are more common out there and hopefully, reproducing!

Helping a coworker

So I just had a coworker tell me about his wife’s possible encounter with a Bigfoot/dogman and I’m just wondering if there might be anyone to back up claims in the area or atleast possible activity around the Tahlequah/Welling Oklahoma area. Thanks

Gatekeeping their Existance for the Business of Entertainment?

All these bigfoot shows/documentaries aren't providing anything new, always the same "probably", there would be teases of some holy grail evidence but they can't be shared with the public for some paranoid reasons and when the rare time they provide them are a disappointment. I feel like they aren't really trying to find the creature anymore.

Books similar to Devolution?

Just finished this Max Brooks Bigfoot novel and really enjoyed it. I rarely read fiction but made an exception. Can you recommend anything somewhat similar? Spooky season, creepy squatch stories, why not?

Is that what I think it was?

Hey All, gotta question. This morning I was sitting shotgun while a coworker drove us into work around 4:00 am. I looked out the window to my right and up about 7° to 10° and saw two (what I believe were eyes) glowing yellow/gold that appeared to (or at least gave the impression), that it was jumping or ascending up and to its left, then disappeared. I only saw it for a fraction of a second, we were traveling at around 40 mph, but I'm positive it was eye shine and at least 6 feet off the ground. Has anyone heard or seen yellow/gold eye shine from a positively Identified "sasquatch"? I've seen deer, Coyote, raccoons, possum, cougar, bobcat, cow, elk, owl eye shine ... most were green, some yellow, but never a deep gold shine.

Any input (other than "you're crazy") would be helpful! I'm fine with being wrong, I just want to know if I'm wrong or not.

Radio show appearance.

Hello everyone, I hope you are having a good day. I have posted this on one other sub, so please excuse the “spam.”

I was wondering if anyone would be interested in doing an interview in regards to a Bigfoot sighting. Obviously it would be best if this was a first hand sighting.

Wouldn’t require much of your time and it’s not a jokey show where you will be mocked. I fully believe and stand with you guys, but want to introduce the idea to my audience. It’s a radio/podcast show based in England.

Please let me know by either replying here or sending me a message. Until then, happy hunting.

Well, I found out these are a thing

So I instantly had to get a set. They look really nice in low light and everyone that has seen them has commented on them so far. I’m not sure what I’ll get for the rear doors.

Skunk ape's range?

How far north are the sightings? Are they in the panhandle? Are they in any states bordering FL?

And does their range overlap with bigfoot?

GUYS ALL I WANNA SAY IS

I am a Singaporean who went to Malaysia (I forgot which state) last holiday season and this is my story of my very own Bigfoot (or something like that) sighting.

I was going hiking with my family and friends. We were taking a rest at the summit and one of my friends told me to go buy some drinks for them at the vending machine nearby the restroom.

I plopped a few coins inside but was startled by some rustling noises at the side where the trees were at. I shrugged it off as some kind of wild boar or tiger or whatever (I dunno much about the wildlife in Malaysia) but I couldn't really shake off the feeling that it definitely wasn't any regular animal and moreover, by the sounds of it it seems to be one that was big and strong.

As I was walking back to the benches with a few cans of iced lemon tea in my hand, I could definitely, no cap, sense that I was being watched from that same spot. I turned my back quite swiftly as I have a really fast instinct. Surely enough, there was an animal inside the brush. But it wasn't any normal animal at all. I only managed to get a bleak glimpse of it before it moved back into the forest, at a speed that contradicts it's size greatly. It looked like a large, brown rock with it's hump sticking significantly out of the trees, in my opinion about the size of a minibus, and it reminded me more of a standing bear. That was all I could remember from that experience but I couldn't remember anything else other than that.

I ran back to my father while clutching the cans tightly in my arms, and immediately exclaimed to everyone what happened. Apparently, no one believed me and they just told me off that I had a good imagination. Please believe me, that was ACTUALLY really what I saw.

I also remember reading a book once about cryptids (I used to love reading about cryptozoology when I was a child to be honest) and an article about Bigfoot took up 2 whole pages. I could clearly remember it saying that there's more sightings outside America to even Japan and Australia, and Malaysia. They claimed the one in Malaysia as some bipedal ape or something (I forgot the rest but that was all I could recover from my memory).
