There are parts of the canadian wilds which people have never gone to. Its plausible.

What i find far more fascinating at what all could be lurking in the murky depths of our oceans. I would not be suprised if there are some absolutely amazing creatures that live in the oceans that we have never even come close to discovering.

I'm not so much a believer, but I think it's naive to assume that it's not possible. The areas these sightings are in aren't exactly the most populated. I think it's entirely possible.


Not that much different than intelligent life on other planets, really. If one is possible, I believe the other has to be.

Except that our planet is relatively small, and space is infinite. I believe there is other intelligent life out there somewhere.

I've got family in Fouke Arkansas, about 30 miles outside Texarkana. In the 70's there was a big uproar about the Fouke Monster. They made two cheap-ass movies about it (The Legend of Boggy Creek & Return to Boggy Creek) - the first one was a semi-documentary and the other was just real poorly written and filmed fiction. My uncle and cousin were technical assistants and my uncle's best friend is the main character in the first movie, a guy named Crabtree. They all swore on their very souls that it was the real deal. There were 15 or 20 sightings over the years. Lots of anecdotal evidence. They heard all kinds of crazy screaming/howling sounds out in the thick woods. Pigs and chickens slaughtered. Footprints in creeks with water still running into them where it supposedly had been stalking a man out hunting. One family moved into a cabin out in the woods. That first night the man was taking a dump and the thing broke out the bathroom window and tried to grab the him. I don't know how real it was, but the guy went to the hospital in shock, his family stayed with friends in town that night and they moved out the next day. The house stayed abandoned/vacant for a long time. On the other hand, it could've been my cousin and his buddies playing a prank on the guy and accidentally scaring him half to death in the process.

I don't have a horse in this race; just saying THEY all believed 100%.


Oh, and those big-ass crawfish? They need to be boiling with some corn and new potatoes! Laissez les bons temps rouler!!!

True, but I still think there is a lot out there that has yet to be discovered. There's not a hell of a lot of people/roads up in the mountains and shit.

Ya, the area where I camp every summer (in Hinsdale County, CO) is listed as the most remote area in the continental US, based on lack of roads and people, and the amount of wild land. Still, a mammal as large as a bigfoot would have to move around a lot to eat and find others to mate, and there would have to be enough of them to come across each other to mate. We would have more proof by now. Sure, there is more untouched land up Canada, Alaska, etc, but that's not where all the sightings come from. I'm not saying something like that couldn't exist, just that if it did, we would know about it. It's too big and too unique and there are too many people looking and trying their damndest to prove its existence for us to still have nothing more than a bunch of legends, fake footprints, and bullshit video, especially now with all of the DNA and archeological capabilities we have.

You ain't just a whistling Dixie brother! All that crazy shit that washed up in post tsunami, and then there's this crazy thing found in 1977.

It is a tough line to cross saying they are REAL, but cryptozooologist do have new finds every year. People who say that there are to many people on the Earth for something to hide, I think that logic is flawed. There are still untouched tribes all over the world yet to receive any modern human contact. The interesting thing about bigfeet(plural?) is the historical context of the stories. Dating back as early as writing there are stories of large upright ape type animals from across the global. All have different names depending on the region. It is not just a modern crazy hillbilly thing.

Nessie?

Why don't those yahoo's with the cameras taking pics of Bigfoot just sight in a .30-06 on one? Case closed.

[stevo]

I read it fine the first time. You're still talking about really big crawfish.

No, I'm talking about the discovery of a new species, but you choose to not listen to it, because you claim to have found big crawdads in a creek.

I'm sorry it screws up your opinion that new species are no longer found in America.

Why does bigfoot always have to have brown hair? Why can't they be black? Or why can't they have white fur like the polar bears?

polar bear fur/hair is not white. Its hollow and transparent. The white color effect is the light reflecting through it.

Dude, you're way off base. My comment about a creek having big crawdads was nothing more than a sidebar about just that - a creek with big crawdads. Big ass crawdads were mentioned in this thread, and it made me remember the big ones I'd seen as a kid. It has nothing at all to do with my opinion about new species, which you also have misinterpreted. You are reading too much into what I said.
