Guys/Gals check this website I found. It has a huge database on Bigfoot sightings in N America. Looks interesting and there is alot of good info. This is from a serious scientific org. So don't flame away. You believe Bigfoot is possible?http://www.bfro.net/GDB/

Havnt you ever seen the movie 'Harry and the Hendersons'???

Well I think its possible, but you think that there might be a bit more proof of its existance if it was real and seen so many times... Then again people ridiculed Herodotus for saying that in Africa there was a race of short, black people (pygmies).

That's all a conspiracy. Planted years ago by enviromental groups trying to save the wilderness or some kind of bs like that. :p

Myrth.

I did hear he was very hairy. Maybe a lost branch of humanity? Does he whine at high pitched sounds when he is frightened. Does he only roam around at night? Does he like to scare little kids and the lone hunter?

Apparently we all sprang from apes, perhaps he did not spring far enough?;):p

Well true, But I'm talking about "scary" hairy. Not the random "wow you gotta lot of hair" kind of person.

Big Foot is neither real nor myth, it is a folk story, a legend.

I have no doubt that bigfoot probably never existed, but perhaps Wallace based it something else he saw?

As for legends, all (or at least most) legends are vaguely based on true stories.

Yeah, because nobody else has ever reported seeing large stinky hairy humanoids. I don't know if there's anything to it, but there are an awful lot of accounts. If bigfoot's real he probably lives underground or is trans-dimensional. As crazy as it sounds, I'm not embarrassed to say it because some quantum physicists are starting to speculate on the what sort of energy, matter, and even life may exist nearby in dimensions we cannot (yet?) traverse.

That makes sense right?

I know that Bigfoot is real. I saw it on ESPN2.

As for the other Bigfoot, it is possible. I'm no cryptozoologists but I do know that new species are still being discovered.

Washington state has the most sightings. Interesting enough it also has the most "ancient" sightings too. Part of the Native American culture of the area. Specifically narrowed down to the Mt. St. Helens area. The most sightings and by the most people.

Shows what you know. Bigfoot story is as old as time itself.

30 years ago, I'd have said real, or at least likely to be real. But given the hoaxes perpetuated, lack of solid evidence(i.e. a corspe, hide, bones) despite searches, I'm sadly inclined to think that Bigfoot is myth. This doesn't mean that witnesses are liars. It's just that there are other explanations other than a bipedal animal/sentient being that could explain the witnesses. A shame. I'd love to be wrong, and see what another bipedal species with hands evolved into.

Well I think the website is trying to explain that it is a "lost" bipedal. Maybe so, it is possible that an variant over a mountain gorilla could be on the loose in the NW US. I mean there is huge tracts of wilderness up there. As far as bones. Do you find "Bear" bones out in the woods. Being a hunter I know that it is nearly impossible to find them. They go and hide when they die normally. Another thing it is possible that the bones from such a mountain gorilla would be mistaken for some other animal. To many people don't know what they are looking at in the woods to figure things out. Although I do agree that some of this is hoaxes. People trying to get famous. Along the same lines as the UFO nuts.

You know there is a million dollar bounty for him? Although don't try to catch him in Washington, California or Oregon. They have laws on capturing bigfoot.

Bigfoot's in North Ameirca not seen that much because not many yanks live in the forests!

Yeti's in Asia which are seen by locals on a regular basis because a large amount of people in places like burma still live in the jungle.
