After having listened to hundreds of accounts on Sasquatch Chronicles and Sasquatch Odyssey podcasts, dozens of which include some very compelling reports that involve instances of supernatural or alien activity and behavior, I find it hard to believe that we are dealing with a purely natural undiscovered species of mammal. I'll readily admit that I am a completely novice and amateur Sasquatch enthusiast and only became interested in the subject because of recent sightings in my area and my own couple of encounters. But listening to the likes of Cliff Barrackman, Jeff Meldrum, and other noted researchers, they all seem to agree that we are still at the 5-yard goal line 50 years after the groundbreaking Patterson-Gimlin film. We don't know much more than what we did back then. However, the magic of the internet has made the collection and recording of sightings and encounters much more easy and common. And along with the vast increase of data on reports, there is also a large increase in the number of reports that include "woo-woo" aspects. Now, I know that Cliff Barrackman flat out rejects any notion that there is ANY "woo-woo" aspect to Bigfoot and that those instances are the result of human error in observation or some other rational explanation. I find that incredibly hypocritical that someone who absolutely believes in Bigfoot, routinely rejects eye-witness accounts that involve supernatural behavior while he himself asks the doubting public to believe his eye-witness accounts. I think what made me think that there is something to the supernatural aspect is an account on one of the podcasts in which the witness was driving along at night and talking to his girlfriend on the cellphone when a sasquatch ran into the road with a racoon in it's mouth. He didn't have time to react and hit the sasquatch at 60 mph. He felt the impact and his girlfriend heard the impact over the phone. The man said he saw a weird flash of light at the time of impact. He pulled over to inspect his vehicle and see what he had hit. No damage to his vehicle. No dead or injured sasquatch. But one side of his car was covered in blood. It was like the creature was teleported at the instant time of impact. Then the host said that he had heard multiple other reports of the same thing happening to other people. Either when shooting at one, or almost hitting one with a vehicle. Weird flash of light and the creature disappears. And that's just one strange phenomenon associated with multiple reports. Then there are the dozens of UFO sightings associated with sasquatch sightings, orbs, mind speak, infrasound, etc, etc. All of those very credible accounts have me believing that we are never going to capture a sasquatch. We might kill one, but the body will never be collected. I used to want to interact with one, as it was a mammal that was native to the woods, and it was fascinating. Now, I don't know what the hell they are, but they surely aren't merely an undiscovered primate or human-hybrid, or else we would have a body by now. So, per the title of the thread, how have the "woo-woo" accounts and sightings affected your opinion of what sasquatch is? Or have you decided to discount them like Barrackman and Meldrum?

I had a standoff with a cougar once, it was 25 yards away and all I had was my Ruger 10/22, not my choice for that but it sure beat nothing. We both came sneaking around a bend at the same time and came within full view of each other. I instantly put my rifle up and kept it on him and stood my ground, I was in a rocky creek bed and it would have been impossible to back up and keep my rifle and eyes on him. Thankfully after about two minutes that seemed like two hours he started moving off at a 45 degree angle up a hillside and once I was sure he was leaving I did the same on the opposite hillside.

I was living outside of Lexington KY about 10 years ago when some loon in central OH released I believe over 50 exotics including a bunch of big cats. I was glad the OH river was there between us, they closed down a bunch of areas while they hunted down and killed them. I think it took 2-3 days to get them all, and they were relatively tame. Imagine if somebody released some wilder ones. I don’t know where the chimp DNA was found exactly but I used to go hunting/hiking in the Daniel Boone NF in eastern KY, it’s some fairly remote and rugged stuff. Kind of Deliverance country too, I can’t remember if it was the KDFW or USFS who put it out but there had been some ‘issues’ with locals who figured they owned the place and running people out. Not sure how widespread it was but apparently enough to put out a notice with the advice to just leave if it happened to you.

Because pixies, gnomes and orcs are not considered a REAL species…..just like Bigfoot.

Firstly, I don't believe that homo sapien is a "purely natural" creature. Religiously, we are widely accepted as spiritual as well, and that includes such gifts as prophesy, clairvoyance, mystical visions, etc. These gifts are not universal among our species, but those who exhibit such gifts commonly state that we all possess them and could use them if we understood and practiced them. Personally, I don't believe that sasquatches or other more primitive species of homo regularly practice such gifts, either. Only a fraction of homo sapiens do, and our species as a whole, despite our supposed knowledge, often even denies such activities. However, I'm quite certain that sasquatches possess and regularly practice the ancient wilderness knowledge, skills, and activities that our species perfected thousands of years ago and have, overwhelmingly, abandoned in favor of technology and fantasy.We have so abandoned the old way that when sasquatches (and other animals) use them, we are so amazed that we consider them supernatural.

She wouldn’t have to, my wife would bury me in the back 40.

I din't know pheremone chips were ruled out. I wonder how they concluded that. I would be more inclined to be moved by the chimpanzee DNA if they found a 17" footprint at, or very close, to the site of the DNA sample. That would provide a corroborating piece of the puzzle. As it is now, the DNA matches a known species and could be a pet chimp. Unless they have a footprint from the site that demonstrates it had a human-looking footprint, rather than that of a chimp, I'll sit on the sidelines and see what else develops in Kentucky. Interesting for sure.

Hmmm…. Dr. NFL cheerleader or fat hillbillies….. choices choices.🤦🏻‍♂️
