Actually, that's a misconception that a lot of people make. Absence of evidence is evidence of absence where the evidence should be there. An example of this is medical tests. If someone thinks that they have a disease or infection, then there should be evidence of it. But if the test results shows that there's no signs of the disease or infection, then they don't have the disease or infection.

Actually you're using confirmation bias for the things you find . I won't call it evidence . Has anyone ever seen Bigfoot building a structure ? No but look at your posts ....Has to be a bigfoot in your other posts of the stick structures you found. N ...That's confirmation bias The structures that you have been told that kids and people build them ...a lot in the woods . Hell I passed one today while hiking with the dog in the woods. There's tons of people who will go out and practice bushcraft . When ever someone points something out you dismiss it and fall back to I know it's the forest people doing this. You are not doing this subject any good by always thinking everything is a bigfoot or what you like to call forest people but you can't see that .

I agree with this POV. I certainly believe Bigfoot is real, but is incredibly rare. I would say 90%+ of sightings are deliberate hoaxes or misidentifications. Most sounds in the woods can be explained by something else. And should be approached skeptically and assumed to be something else unless all other potential answers are eliminated.

Okay I guess there's probably a Bigfoot clan living in my back yard then . Don't become one of those where everything you see and hear is a Bigfoot . You can't research this subject with confirmation bias because it never works and you see plenty of yahoos on Bigfoot youtube channels thinking every noise and tree break is bigfoot That's all I'm saying man.

Felix if you not finding any tracks they are not there no matter how much you want to believe Bigfoot are in that area .. It's just not possible for them to be foraging and hunting in an area and not leave any tracks .

I was looking for an expert in bird sounds, not a critique of my experiences. You claim bigfoot lives in clans, have you ever seen a clan? Has anyone on this site ever seen a clan? Pure conjecture. You also claim that bigfoot are migratory. Did you install ankle bracelets on them to figure this out? I have personal experience that says they stay put in the winter, only closer to their inner sanctum. I don't have confirmation bias, because I let the evidence speak for itself, and I ask others for their opinions. I don't just parrot what the rest of the so-called experts say, because actual factual evidence is rare, and too many assumptions are being made about it.
