Typical attitude towards the subject. Make fun of it, make fun of those studying it, deny it without proof that is doesn't exist (i know, I know). This article means nothing IMO. Well, I take that back. It means the author obviously hasn't done much homework on the subject.

Assumptions made about MIB's experience are disregarding a couple of things. 1. He stated that the infrasound that many of you do not believe in was used the first night on him. Perhaps it was used the second night too and that explains why he just lay there without going for the gun I know he always carries or getting out a flashlight and shining on the camp intruder. Until you experience infrasound you cannot understand how it makes you do illogical things including falling asleep when you should be terrified for you life. 2. I have heard a bigfoot walking in very close proximity and there is no mistaking the bipedal nature of the footsteps even when they are in a stealth mode and trying to sneak up on you. If you are laying on the ground you could feel it. Also BF has a huge airway and it's breathing would be very obvious. Our ears are directional enough to tell when something is low to the ground or 8 or 9 feet in the air. He may not even recall hearing the breathing but it formed his impression of what was going on partially from it. So as far as I am concerned I don't think you have to see a thing to know something large and bipedal is walking around your camp. But of course a large shape would block out background stars and reveal a silhouette too without being able to see frontal details. MIB's experience was almost identical to the experience Les Stroud had doing his last show that aired last night. Les heard the footsteps, lay there listening, had a flashlight but never thought to use it, and something large pushed down on the top of his tent three times. So MIB's whole experience was very similar and sounds quite authentic to me. I am glad he shared it but he probably won't next time.

Gotta go with Sasfooty if I have to choose only one.

The photographer's partner didn't want to hang around (from what I read) and he explained in the report that they were leaving due to the experience. Fear is a funny thing, if you see one "something" in a tree you might get uneasy, but then you see "two somethings" and your instincts might kick in to get out...and fast. Speaking from experience.....

It was a simple statement that made no sense to me. Under the understanding of the extreme "I had a bigfoot experience and you cannot tell me otherwise" mindset? I've had thousands of Bigfoot encounters.......... If Im sleeping in my lean to in pitch black? And I hear something walk up to me three times? I'm not going to claim it was a Bigfoot unless I saw it with my own two eyes. I insist on putting picatinney rails on all my firearms as well as practice cross wrist weapon/light draws for this very reason. I'm not trying to be a jerk here, he had a experience that he cannot explain, I have those too. But for clarity he cannot say for sure what was prowling around his campsite that night because he didnt investigate it further. He stayed in his fart sack and just let his imagination run away with itself. I did that too as a kid up in the mountains by myself. A mouse sounds like a grizzly bear in situations like that. And your mind can torture you with visions of grizzly bears and other "monsters". If his story ended with him flicking on his flashlight? And a large hairy creature ran away on two legs? I could sink my teeth into that. Tracks, Hair, Sightings, Vocals. Tangible realities. Hearing something go bump in the night? Not so much.

I've been saying it for years, they use others ( Sasquatch proponents ) as guinea pigs in their own personal social studies. It's for their own self interest, self desire, self satisfaction. I've never understood and i never will, how that can be a positive to a public forum with such tight rules and guidelines personally. All they ever do is belittle, undervalue and dismiss other members. BIG, HUGE, character flaws but you have to get past it and pity them as they are wrong.

I would make that same bet Crow. I have my doubts that they exist, but I can't explain away some of these clear daytime sightings by reliable witnesses with nothing to gain and everything to lose by sharing their experience. And while I am a skeptic, I'm not a denialist. Those people saw something. Something that you can't explain. Well, you can attempt to explain it using the tired old techniques...but, that's speculation. You, or no one else, can truly explain those cases. Those people saw something. I am not sure Bf exists, but I am sure that not ALL witnesses are wrong. Not every single one. To me that line of thought is absent of critical thinking and is ridiculous.

So he is back to the "never existed" camp? I'm finding it hard to keep up
