Well, you guys better get started now with cleaning up Facebook. While you guys handle that, I am going to actually be in the woods. Let me know when to expect mainstream science to show up. They need to bring their own tents, though.

Yes. The parallel here is that many of us here are more competent to make field observations than the so called academic experts. In fact, it may well be that defense of what they see as their turf against us uppity interlopers may have more to do with bigfoot being dismissed .. the true target of their ire may be us, not bigfoot.

I am a realist. The paranormal has not been proven to exist. One should never attempt to explain an unknown with another unknown. Flesh and Blood animals on the other hand, are known to exist. That is where any rational cryptozoological investigation should begin. And ideally, where it should remain.

So what do you predict happens when proof of bigfoot turns out to be proof of several things currently considered "woo"? Y' better have a plan for that on your plate whether you believe in "woo" or not, it would be negligent not to even if it is never needed.

I am aware of Bindernagel and have watched some interviews with him. I have not read his book(s?) yet. That is on my To-Do List. I am thankful to this group for recommendations in another topic and along the way. Thanks.

Since when did Seth Breedlove portray himself as a ‘researcher’? He is very upfront about being a documentarian. Only recently has he began to dabble in field investigations himself, as opposed to presenting the efforts of others. Even then, he is very upfront that he is just trying to satisfy his own personal curiosity and does not consider himself a researcher. Please be specific on when and where he has called himself and his documentaries ‘research’.

I had a discussion with some of my non-cryptozoological friends about this topic today, and they all say the Woo Woo, paranormal side of the discussion seriously turns them off as it is about all the information you are exposed to about Bigfoot. Channels like Bob Gymlan give them hope though, and I've been able to further interest some of them into the topic that way.

THANK YOU!

Tonight's guest, Ryan, is from Central New Hampshire. He's lived there all of his life. On November 28th, at 2 in the morning, Ryan was awoken out of a dead sleep by the sound of what he thought were footsteps, from people walking by his house, in the snow, on the snowmobile trail, outside. Like he normally does, he was sleeping with his window cracked that night, even though it was only 10 degrees outside, so he could easily hear the footsteps. When Ryan got up and looked out his 2nd story window, to his shock, what he saw was totally different than what he expected to see. Walking down the trail, he saw a 10-foot tall Sasquatch and 2 smaller Sasquatch, walking with the big 1. That isn't the only strange experience he's had. He's had several strange experiences. We hope you'll tune in and listen to Ryan talk about them too.

There's truth to this, many biologists think they know more than the people who live in the areas they claim to have fully understand and "studied", but let's face it, only the people living there know every leaf, every rock and animal patterns, tree or mound in the forest, hills and valleys. They may not know how to explain taxonomy or genetics, but they don't have to if they understand how it all works and where things are. There's an aura of smugness that academics imply when they try and denounce the accounts of residents living in the area for saying things that they don't agree with, because them to them they are the ones "qualified" to speak on it. It's horsecrap. You can be very educated on the matter but if you don't live there chances are you're missing out on something. This isn't so much a Bigfoot problem but a problem across the board with science.

I am starting to see the issue here. I made a comment about pilots/UFO skeptics as an analogy to Bigfoot skeptics. You responded that eyewitness reports are unreliable in a response to my comment about military pilots. I responded to your statement with a question concerning the instrumentation onboard these pilots’ aircraft. You - ”Who looks for Bigfoot with radar?” And you want to be the censor who decides what can and cannot be said online?

Allowed? So, what is your plan to stop it? Letter writing campaign to Zuckerberg explaining that there needs to be censorship in the Bigfoot groups in order advance the subject? Who determines what is or isn’t allowed? You? The subject of Bigfoot was ridiculed by mainstream society long before social media came along. You guys thinking that mainstream scientists are being held back from investigating the phenomenon because someone’s crazy aunt puts up a post on some Bigfoot group… I don’t know what to say. I am starting to get an idea of why the subject hasn’t moved much. And woo ain’t the problem. I guess that I am the outlier in the Bigfoot research community. I haven’t had any of the Woo types show up at my house yet to keep my from going out to check my game cams or audio recorders. No one has forced my to meditate in a forest clearing with a crystal. I guess that I have slipped under the radar. No, they will just deny it, regardless of the evidence Look at the hardcore UFO skeptics, arguing that a trained and experienced military pilot is not qualified to report what they see.

Greetings. I have had a long term interest in Bigfoot. I'm an academic (not in a related field) and approach this topic with a need for evidence and rigorous scientific methods. Hoping to find a place where I can learn more about what research is being done, other than what we see on TV shows. Big fan of Dr. Meldrom and his work.

Exactly. Well said.

Hi my name is Hutch. I currently live in Tennessee. My family and I moved out here a year ago from Colorado. I am an avid hunter but have never had the experience of seeing a Bigfoot. I've been fascinated by them my whole life and want hear what people have to say about them.

The problem here isn't memes or social media, it's the stigma that follows the Sasquatch topic. It's very real and difficult to fight. Having decent discussions with people not indulged into the actual science of it are hard because the person(s) are turned off from it due to years of social conditioning by the scientific establishment that the subject cannot be real, so any discussion about it is inherently biased towards the skeptic. This ought to be challenged properly by taking the fight to them but so far most attempts are unsuccessful, whether that's cus of ego, dismissal or just outright avoidance.

See, I think they do, podcasts have shown (especially JRE) that the populace is hungry for in depth conversations on anything, people are naturally curious I just think the powers that be target the lowest denominator and therefore we've conditioned ourselves to think no one actually gives a hoot about this stuff. I dunno, I've just always been in the camp that believes you can make is accessible if it's fun to engage with.

That is exactly what I was thinking watching tonight’s episode.

If it's human, it can be my neighbor. It wouldn't be any more ugly or smelly than some of my current neighbors.

Lessen to be learned; don't shape shift into an animal someone is hunting. It may not end well.

The problem is that social media platforms are not conducive to scientific discussions or data/idea sharing. Let's face it, Facebook is great to keep in touch with your friends and build your acquaintances, but that's about it, that's why it's called social media. You can't have a discussion like we're having now on Twitter or Facebook. That's why the BFF exists.

Exactly. Most of those hard nosed science types are not shunning this subject because of memes. It’s because the subject runs counter to accepted science. They don’t care in the slightest that there are Bigfoot Facebook groups, shows, or knickknacks. Those things could cease to exist tomorrow, and it wouldn’t change a thing.

Ronny LeBlanc’s belief in cloaking. In one episode they interview a Makah Indian that talks about a Bigfoot disappearance in plain sight.

The rain that was forecast for today held off, so after lunch I grabbed the Hummer keys and headed out to a nearby mountain trail. I had recently heard, through a local 4x4 forum, that a branch road off a well known FSR was now open, after being gated for years. I got there about 2, and found the narrow road to be in pretty good condition, due to recent logging near the summit, but right from the start it was steep enough to be best climbed in low range. At about 2 km up, I saw a very scenic small waterfall, and stopped for the photo, of course. At km 3 the grade lessened to a more normal climb rate, and I continued all the way to the recent logging show at the end of a nice hanging valley at 800M el.(about 2500'). There were still patches of snow, but the road was bare, with a thin layer of mud from the snow melt, so I had my eyes peeled for tracks, but only saw lots of bear scat, probably from last fall, before the snows came. After a break to stretch my legs and have a snack, while glassing the clearcut, and a talus slope at the foot of an impressive rock bluff, I headed back down the trail, exploring a couple of older deactivated branches along the way, and taking a few more scenic pics. Since the start of this route is only 40 minutes from my home, I was back in time for dinner at 6.
