Big Foot - Travel Channel

[Times Roman]

Sitting here watching the travel channel and they are featuring a big foot expose. The crew are in Canada following a tracker and are getting excited.

What are your thoughts?

Bogus? Legit?

Of all the fringe claims out there, this one seems most likely to exist out of them all.

Bogus. The myth has been around for so long that you have to consider how many bigfoots or is it Bigfie lol Would have had to exist...yet not one piece of physical evidence has been located.

I don't know that I believe. I do think it is possible to have a large ape like creature that we haven't pin pointed yet..there are ample areas where they could hide. I am a huge fan I the shows/ myth though! I thinks it's the mystery/ yes no debate tht intrigues me!

[red_hulk]

I hate those show about monster hunting or aliens. They never find anything remotely substantial. Here's a spoiler alert for every show like that, before it aired on television if they had found anything it would be on the news and all over the Internet.

agree. we are not yet done discovering higher level mammals. I think the probibility of discovering another in the "great ape" family in North America is remote at best.

no need. it was a hoax.

you can prove something is a hoax.

Extremely difficult to prove something doesn't exist.

Washington Post.

So says Bob Heironimus, a retired Pepsi bottler from Yakima, Wash., who reveals to the Reliable Source that he donned a gorilla costume and appeared in the famous grainy film clip that helped fuel the Bigfoot craze in 1967 and is studied by Bigfoot, Sasquatch and Yeti investigators to this day.

"It's time people knew it was a hoax," Heironimus told us. "It's time to let this thing go. I've been burdened with this for 36 years, seeing the film clip on TV numerous times. Somebody's making lots of money off this, except for me. But that's not the issue -- the issue is that it's time to finally let people know the truth."

Heironimus, 63, makes his full "confession," as he calls it, in a just-published book by paranormal investigator Greg Long, "The Making of Bigfoot." Long spent four years investigating the 60-second film clip and the people behind it. He traces the shaggy Bigfoot costume to a North Carolina gorilla suit specialist, Philip Morris, who says he sold it for $435 to an amateur documentary maker named Roger Patterson (who died in 1972). The hoax was staged near Bluff Creek in Northern California, according to Heironimus.

"Patterson was the cameraman," Long tells us. "They made a gentleman's agreement that Bob would get in the suit and walk in front of the camera for $1,000."
But, Heironimus says, "I was never paid a dime for that, no sir," and adds, "Sure I want to make some money. I feel that after 36 years I should get some of it."
Backers of the Bigfoot legend include primatologist Jane Goodall, who was in Silver Spring last week to tout a new chimpanzee documentary that premieres tomorrow on Discovery Communications' Animal Planet network. Too busy to comment herself, Goodall authorized an aide, Nona Gandelman, to tell us she has read "countless books" about Bigfoot, Sasquatch, Yeti, Chinese wild men and other creatures. "She's spoken to people whom she respects who say they have seen one of these hominids," said Gandelman, "and to many other people she respects who have heard strange calls they thought were made by Bigfoot. As a scientist, she has a very open mind about this and has yet to close the door on the possibility."

Bigfoot researcher John Green, a retired Canadian journalist, says the book doesn't disprove the existence of the mysterious beast. "It's all [expletive]," he told us. "There are going to be libel actions flying."

Tom Malone, a lawyer in Minneapolis, called us Friday on behalf of Bob Gimlin, associate of the now-dead Bigfoot filmmaker. "I'm authorized to tell you that nobody wore a gorilla suit or monkey suit and that Mr. Gimlin's position is that it's absolutely false and untrue."
And the mystery lives on . . .

I think if we were talking remote reaches of the Amazon...then yes

I think if we were talking small insect species in North America yes.

But agreed that the likelyhood of discovering an 8ft tall 400lbs ape like creature in the continental US is highly unlikely.

like the one scientific researcher said, "we'll just have to wait until someone shoots one, then we'll have proof" lol

I doubt any photographic evidence will be deemed credible.

If they find anything, i'm betting it's not even an ape. I'm betting some kind of intelligent, noctornal and very rare bear. with weird feet!

You ever walk out from the stand after dark and a coyote hits one time
Or your walking in before daylight and an elk bugles your imagination can run away with you
or something walks through camp at about 3 am wakes you up and your in the middle of nowhere alone
You think for a second is it

Oh man, it's a fun one when you do! The first time I heard one, it was dark but the sun wasn't entirely down. I froze up and then busted into a 1/4 mile sprint back to my house

Not quail, but I have been on the verge of dozing off on the edge of a tank(you may know it as a pond) when a flock of ducks came crashing in. I almost crapped my pants.

Komodo dragons was a myth until 1910

Gorillas. There was a time in which they were no more tan a myth. Explorers would return from African jungles and tell stories about hairy, giant man-beasts of terrible strength and temper, with a nasty habit of abducting and raping women! Such stories were dismissed by scientists as nonsense myth until 1902

Okapi was thought to be a mythical creature, and even called it “The African Unicorn until 1910.

The Giant Panda were regarded as myths until 1869

The Giant Squid was a myth until 1861

There are other examples and more recent. No we have not found everything yet especially high in the hills, deep in the woods or in the Sea. There is a LOT of undeveloped and unexplored territory out there. If you doubt me next time you are up in a plane look down. LOTS of woods out there with no roads or houses for 100s of miles.

[bigZthedestroyer]

Im not gonna lie...Ive attempted "bigfoot knocks" before. I was out in the middle of a national forrest par in oregon. No response, but I had fun doing it haha

Or you might run into someone who might think your head would look good above the fireplace in the hunting lodge.

[SEOINAGE]

I'm sure there are things out there that exist that we don't know about. We obviously haven't discovered everything. Could there be something that resembles bigfoot out there, who knows. I tend to not worry about it and more concerned with some other big animal coming after me, or worse some psycho red neck, guns are worse than claws.

It's not the rednecks you have to worry about. It's the wolf dressed in a suit and tie working behind a marble desk somewhere.

I'm a gone toter myself, but my brother was running private security in the mountains and was shot at and had to return fire. No one was hit and the man wasn't caught, but it obviously got law enforcement involved. But I certainly know what you are talking about.

Yeah I hear you and there are some folk that are just plum crazy especially out in the woods but at least with them you have a fighting chance. It's the other guys you will never see them coming or have a chance to shoot back.

OK Ive been listening to the radio and reading to much lately and it's starting to piss me off with all the BS double talk and just out right lies. Id better go back to ignoring everything.
