Do You Believe In Bigfoot?

I've been watching several programmes on TV recently about the search for various cryptid creatures.
I have found it quite entertaining and I'm amazed at how enthusiastic some people are about the subject.

Personally, I think it's a load of rubbish that has been made up to separate gullible tourists from the contents of their wallets!
 

Here is PROOF

Here's what humorist Dave Barry thinks about it:

"...I don’t think [most believers in and promoters of the skunk ape or bigfoot are] doing anybody any harm, especially not compared to other people making money off of things I don’t think are real. For example, I think astrology is a massive pile of bullshit. Likewise, feng shui. I don’t believe “mediums” can communicate with dead people. I don’t believe the miraculous claims made by most major religions. At funerals, when the clergyperson says the deceased has gone to a better place, I don’t believe it, and I don’t think the clergyperson always believes it either."

Do I believe in Bigfoot? No, I believe in Big Feet! 😊

Jeison Orlando Rodriguez Hernandez of Venezuela has made it into the 2016 Guinness World Records book for having world’s largest human feet, measuring about 1 foot, 4 inches. Believe it or not, he wears a size 26 shoe.

It was around his ninth birthday when Hernandez discovered that his feet were larger than his friends', and whenever they would compare sizes, he would always come out on top. Having bigger feet than even Sultan Kosen, the world's tallest living man (a mere size 24), Hernandez has to specially order his shoes from Germany to get the right fit.
 
I heard it all living in the PNW, no chance he’s here. Loggers, hunters, hikers, aircraft, game cams, Flir, and etc etc. Mountain lions and Bobcats are extremely rare to see in person yet common on game cams. Cool topic however.
 
Undecided. When something like this persists for so long and is so widely spread, you have to think there must be SOMETHING behind it. All things can be possible til proven IMpossible.
There’s the Klondike, Siberia and other places so remote that……

I've decided I want to believe in Bigfoot. As far as I have heard, he hasn't caused anyone harm in all these years. I think he's shy, peeks at us between foliage, runs when scared, and doesn't grab anyone's picnic basket, so he must be self sufficient. There's been no reports in decades of him shouting, roaring, demanding we are scared of him, so what's the harm in believing?
Yep, I believe in Bigfoot. There are worse things to believe in.
 
This is something that people have been undecided about for many years now, with some reports that look like they could be true and more that look totally fabricated. No one even believed that the Panda bear was real until sometimes in the 1800’s, and even that was considered just a legend.
After someone killed one and brought the pelt, then other people started hunting high in the mountains where the Panda bear lives, and eventually, they trapped one.
The Panda bear is black and white and doesn’t even try to hide from anyone, it just lives in such a remote area that people were not around to see it for all of those years, so it remained a legend.

There is a large percentage of this earth where humans have never been, and we discover things that no one knew existed all of the time, especially we have found ocean creatures that were considered to not exist.
I think that it is quite possible that there are also more creatures that exist and we just have not seen them because we do not go where they are at.

The legends about the creature we call Bigfoot are actually worldwide, different sizes and different names; but a very similar description. The legends have been there for centuries, and it just seems to me like if the stories are all over the world, from people who had no contact with the other countries, and they all reported the same kind of creature, then there could be truth in the legends.

There is a story from Russia about one that was captured and lived in a Russian village, and had half-human offspring, which are buried in the local cemetery .
No idea if it is true or not, but it is an interesting story.

Sorry, Oldaunt, I believe the opposite. All things are IMpossible until proven possible.

But it makes sense to consider every idea, hypothesis, conjecture, etc. worthy of exploration and testing. And if there is no concrete evidence that it exists, then we can say that to the best of our knowledge, that idea is most likely nonsense. Subject to revision, of course, if some real evidence turns up.

The new Bigfoot programs say they are able to cloak themselves in invisibility and also float around the woods as an orb of light. I've never seen one but I have heard them slapping tree trunks at 3 AM back in the 70s.

The difference with your panda story is as you say, no one went to where they were. But with Bigfoot he's everywhere people are yet nobody has decent pictures or footages.
 
Well, all those TV "Big Foot" programs were brought to you by the same kind of people, who brought you "Jersey Shore". And for all true believers, just send me all your life savings and holdings, and the moment we have a true Big Foot body, I'll triple it.
 
Do You Believe In Bigfoot?
Sure, some version of him is known to many cultures, bigfoot, the abominable snowman in the himalayas, rougarou in south Louisiana, the list goes on.

He is a very real myth, a psychological phenomenon. Perhaps dating back to ancient memories of Neanderthals or the like, who knows. Like ghosts or dragons.

Your timing is good, I except to see a few tomorrow.
