Hello there, First of all, let me state clearly that, every day of the week, I at least believe in the possibility that Bigfoot exists. For most of those days, I think it probably does. Events over the last few days (you’ve got it – the Facebook Find Bigfoot debacle) has raised the question to me – are Bigfoot believers necessarily more eager to believe than the “general†public? I am not talking about anyone specifically on this forum, but generally - with the FBFB site in mind. I’m sure you’ve read the comments on a lot of the video “authentificationsâ€. What I find is that, with a lot of people, whenever a new video comes through the door, objectivity is thrown through the window. Is that because they are eager to believe, or is it because they are so eager to believe that Bigfoot is real that they perhaps park common sense aside? Or is it simply that looking at a video is entirely subjective? So whether you are a believer or not, you might see something someone else doesn’t. As a very keen amateur magician and mentalist, I have a lot of experience of deceiving people (purely for entertainment purposes). On the mentalism side especially, people are very quick to believe I may have special powers, even when I tell them that I am fooling them. I have had many people ask if I can tell see their into their past and their future (yes I can, but of course it is a parlour trick), even contact lost ones. I’m serious. This is after I’ve told people that I am tricking them. The point is they want to believe. Maybe it is just human nature. Any thoughts? Best. Lee

From what I understand from surfing radio broadcast interviews and the website there is no mention of Sasquatch being responsible. Paulides seems to be going to great lengths to not say it. These things are happening in known Sasquatch areas. For me here in Colorado there is the mount of the holy cross. Biggest search in Colorado history I think 2005. A second guy two years ago. I remember over the course of my life lots of missing people in that area. If I remember correctly many when found were miles off course in totally different areas than where they disappeared. Holy Cross Wilderness is a known BF environment. However that does not mean that it is BF that did any of this. I am from the camp that the BF is capable; but I am not going to blame until there is better evidence. One of the teasers for the youtube interview asked Paulides about BF and he referenced the Hoopa Indians. He talked about them being people to the Hoopa and the news conference that they called in regaurds to rock throwing and a hunting party saying that the Hoopa said they are big and strong and smart leave them alone and they will leave you alone... then it cut out. You have to join to listen to the whole interview. It really didn't sound like he thinks they are doing it. Unless I have missed something else.

@Coonbo, Not to go off subject but, I have a very open mind about everything and there also was stories passed around in my early teens of a red-eyed "werewolf" dogface creature by the Des Moines River near my hometown. I wonder sometimes what was chasing the car when I was 19 down there. I can see why people say "a dog nose," but it won't be a bipedal canine unless its hind legs resemble a dog's, IMHO. Maybe a snouted sasquatch? Anybody? ... (I can't type more than 512 char on phone.) If these dog creatures do exist, I would assume that they're the meanest of the two (sasquatch vs dogman) and only assuming that they're more responsible for missing people. -- Only because of the way wolves are, compared to most primates' habits. But, on the contrary, we also don't have a known jaw sample from neither creatures. Teeth don't matter much -- Look at the "vegetarian" Pacu fish -- It eats everything and anything (I had a couple). Just $.02. ... P.S. When I say "snouted sasquatch," I mean a shorter snout than, let's say, a doberman or greyhound. -- More like a female labrador or even less, if even that. I honestly can't imagine a 5-6ft+ biped canine/sasquatch with a snout like my doberman. But, again, I'm open-minded.
