Dear BFF Members, I want to take a moment to share some personal news with all of you. As many of you know, managing the forum and ensuring its continued growth and vibrancy has been a true labor of love for me. However, as my schedule and commitments have changed, I find that I no longer have the time and energy that this community truly deserves. It is with both a sense of pride and gratitude that I announce I am stepping aside as director of the Bigfoot Forums. But fear not, as I’m excited to introduce the new director who will be taking the reins – Norseman! Norseman has been an active and thoughtful member of this community for a long time. He brings a wealth of knowledge, a deep passion for Bigfoot, and a strong commitment to maintaining the welcoming and respectful atmosphere that has made this forum a special place for all of us. I am confident that under his leadership, the Bigfoot Forums will continue to thrive and grow, providing a platform for all of us to share our stories, theories, and experiences. I want to extend my heartfelt thanks to each and every one of you for making this community what it is today. It has been an honor to serve as your director, and I look forward to continuing to be a part of this journey, just in a different capacity. Please join me in welcoming Norseman to his new role. I know you’ll all offer him the same support and camaraderie that you’ve always shown me. Warm regards, Gigantor Outgoing Director, Bigfoot Forums

Redhawk is in my estimation correct, the majority of the content out there is fake or misrepresented and as you noted expanded to other realms to stay relevant. It makes people both here and in our circles sick as we then get slapped with being in the " community " and therefore guilty by association. I personally will state on record that Expedition Bigfoot is entirely fabricated, that is my opinion.

Congratulations, norseman, and thanks to you, Gigantor, for all you've done here over the years.

Thank you for everything you have done Gigantor! 👏🏻 I have a lot to learn, but this place holds a special place in my heart and I will do my best to keep its legacy going! Incorrigible has taken over the SC chair position from me. Thank you! 👏🏻 Cheers to the BFF!🥂

First off, it's interesting information, second it's a revolution in the understanding of human evolution and as far as it being sasquatch related, It's elementary. If there's evidence that neanderthal and or homoerectus lived in NA, it's evidence that hominids spread world wide far more than previously recorded. And, since we don't actually know what sasquatch is, and some of the leading theories are that sasquatch are relic hominids like these two species, just evolved for bigness by a million years of isolation on this hemisphere, it follows that evidence for these two species being here is evidence for sasquatch more likely being them or their descendants. Personally, and entirely unrelated to how these two being in the WH, I think we are being slow walked into realization that "human" is a very loose term at best and a dozen distinct but related animals are known as mankind today. Like dogs are a hundred different breeds but still cross fertile, so is mankind. But only time will tell.

to be clear, I believe BiGFo0T is real. As in its a real animal and the government is covering up their existence for reasons that are unknown. But I’ve consumed so much cryptid content in the past 8 years or so that it’s become very obvious to me that most of it is made up now by people who make their livings doing this stuff. All the known names on are into the bigfooT lore for the money. Bob gymlan puts out interesting videos here and there but he is it. missing 411 ran it’s course. I’m not sure what Paulides is up to these days. The On The Trail of BigfooT documentaries are interesting. The On The Trail of BiGfooT Land of the missing was a good one. The documentary is about the aggressive nature of the Alaskan variety that actually seeks out humans to eat. These kindof behavior is extremely unusual for Sasquatch although the ape Canyon incident and the siege at Hanobia are incidents of aggressive Sasquatch encounters. if you haven’t I’d recommend checking out on the trail of bigfooT land of the kissing on Amazon prime. Even the director admits most of these stories could be explained by a more mundane cause but he remains open to the stories of the agressive Sasquatch in Alaska. but other than the few gems in the field the field most of the media surrounding Sasquatch is made up fantasy nonsense. It started off with Sasquatch but now there is dogman, pale crawlers, and other cryptids like little people and other nefarious things. It seems to me people figured out how to make the field of Sasquatch research and lore a lucrative industry.

I need to be more concise. The field started off with Sasquatch and then expanded to different variety’s of Sasquatch like the skunk ape variety. Then there are mountain giants, which are kindof like a Sasquatch but bigger. Much bigger. Like 20’ tall. Then dogman came around. To me it’s like people started getting high AF around their campfire at night and were telling scary stories and started pointing their pistols in the darkness at anything that made a sound. then there’s people who make YouTube videos about the 10 different types of Sasquatch and 7 different types of dog men. basically it’s like people got high, drunk, or tripped on dmt and claimed to have seen the craziest ****. I

I cannot say anything. For most of my life my wife was lucky if she knew what state I was in. Eventually I guess the mules would end up out of the mountains and in some ranchers field and they would come looking for my camp. Long before the days of Garmin Inreach or anything like that. Now she has me on a pretty short leash after this last heart attack. I see FLIR and zoom lens for cell phones. I have no idea how well they work. I had a buddy once in Idaho claim he came upon a lair. A small box canyon with hundreds of deer and elk bones in it. Whatever it was? Was going through a lot of effort to bring that many animals to this one location. Not something a bear or cougar or wolves does. Almost like what we see in archaeological digs with our early ancestors. 🤷‍♂️

I have a feeling I know how her story is going to end.. im not criticizing the field of discovery with the ape, but it’s become clear to me most of the media has become nothing more than an area to be exploited.

I too saw Derek in the video. It would be nice to know if this was an accurate portrayal or click bait. But if 3 hikers remains separated by a decade all end up in the same exact spot? Thats not a predator. Thats either a human or Sasquatch. And the phone footage if real is super creepy as well. I still say that some of the 411 missing data base has some merit. Much of it mundane. Some of it is beyond bizarre.

Pretty disturbiing stuff human bones stacked like the elk discovery a few years back with human like incisor marks on the long bones. Can't quite understand why a bike camper would be so unprepared (perhaps impulsive because of the family disruption/divorce) as to abandon camp unless Bigfoot tipped it over and chased him until he was exhausted and lost. As for the other two, indecisive. Those Olympic mtns are endless chains seemingly when you get to the top of them and check out the long views they are straight up and down to lakes and such, with snow treacherous. Too bad the video couldn't spell Sol Duc and Hoh correctly almost like it was computer generated from someone else's audio transcript? Wonder if Derek Randles and the Olympic Project was part of the SAR or recovery team since he is shown in several places in the video? Or maybe they just kicked that in there to represent the BF as cannibal slant. Sounds like someone has a more complete picture of this whole set of circumstances but perhaps it wasn't disclosed by the Park but leaked out through other channels.

I started to listen and immediately recognized the voice. The website was discussed in another recent thread concerning an alleged encounter by a female hiker in the Pacific northwest (or Alaska?) I didn't listen too it, but skimmed the transcript and also see many red flags (IMHO) even before getting to the talking Bigfoot part. For what it's worth, I've catalogued over 1100 encounters in the Northeast and can think of only two where the Bigfoot reportedly had a weapon (one club, one knife) and only one where Bigfoot "spoke" (asking "where is the queen?" IIRC). The club-wielding, queen-seeking encounter is from the early 1800s and the other was from the 1950s or 1960s and likely was a misidentification of either the Bigfoot or the knife.

All the more reason they should join for a mere $20.00 and get premium access!!

I guess it’s in the premium section. So the link won’t show for everyone.

Just a huge Bravo to @gigantor for keeping the Sas in the Squatch over some difficult times and some good times, much respect to your Herculean efforts bro! And you could not have passed the torch to a more deserving Director in @norseman ! I know he has a lot of experience in reining in the mules @Catmandoo

Thank you for your technical expertise and countless hours of work. "taking the reins"............nice intro. Does he have spurs?

1) I don’t need your permission to post X, Y or Z. And I don’t give a pile of bull manure if you find it uninteresting or spammy or whatever. My suggestion is to drop the attitude.🫤 2) You may not be aware, but I found a Elk femur bone in the Selkirk mountains in which a hammer and anvil technique was used to extract bone marrow. Other groups have found evidence of stone tool use as well. Chimps also use primitive tools too. It’s well documented. 3) We don’t know what Sasquatch is. Which means YOU don’t know what Sasquatch is. So if other researchers in non Sasquatch circles are finding evidence of archaic hominids in NORTH AMERICA? You better believe I am sitting up and taking notice. As well you should too. I take keen interest in the Cerutti Mastodon find, the Chapala lake skull cap find, the Calico dig site, etc. Anything that debunks the Clovis first scenario. Some of this is obviously Homo Sapien. But some of it IS NOT. What was extracting bone marrow from a Mastodon 130,000 years ago in California…. not Homo Sapiens! What’s harvesting Elk bone marrow in NE Washington in 2020? 🤷‍♂️ Is this relevant to Sasquatch? You better believe it is. We have 12 feet of snow here now at 5000 feet. Sasquatch isn’t eating berries or skunk cabbage right now. Which leaves what? Meat. Fat. Bone marrow. 👍

Can you please expand on how you think this is relevant to the Sasquatch topic?
