I thought for awhile that they knew all about cameras, but lately it's looking more like it's the mind reading thing that tips them off. I've gone out to photograph other things, not thinking about BF, & found them later in several of the pictures. I don't recall ever getting but one picture when I was actually thinking about getting one of them. I don't think they necessarily have abilities "beyond ours". They just know they have them, allow them to develop, & use them to the best of their ability. That's our big problem. We are taught from early childhood that we only have 5 senses & anything else is just "imagination". Some children are even punished for using their higher senses. I saw this very insightful comment a few days ago & thought how well it fits this situation: "It's entirely possible for you to not have these experiences for no reason other than the fact you have a disbelief strong enough to convince yourself that nothing of any sort of significance is occurring."

If you really want to know why BF avoids humans, all you need do is go to Wal~Mart on Black Friday, or like I'm about to do, the mall the last Sunday before Christmas. That alone will tell you all you want to know about interacting with humans. Wish me luck. If i'm not back on the forums this evening please send a search and rescue team.

From a thread called "What is the statistical probability all these sightings are false?"...

Science: An orderly arrangement of what at the moment seem to be facts. - Quoted in Research Viewpoint. Any scientist would be faced with the overwhelming fact that all he/she "knows" comes from the text books studied and from the mouths of his/her professors, and neither mentioned "Bigfoot". What scientists as a whole "know", changes on a daily basis.

I have a theory that our ancestors decided to wipe them out a long time ago, so long ago that they receded into myth and legend. Trolls, goblins and all that whatnot may have some sort of basis in reality. The only ones that would have survived in this scenario would be the ones that were reclusive. IOW I am saying its built-in to their gene pool now as a result. I am basing this partly on that 'Them and Us' scenario described at this website: http://www.themandus.org/ On that site it is proposed that Neanderthal pushed us through a similar genetic bottleneck. What I am thinking is that we don't really understand our own history all that well; the Denesovians just got added to the family tree based on a finger bone and a toe bone. A lot of skeptics argue that there is no evidence of BF in the fossil record but I don't agree. I think we know that record by a different name.
