Can't say that my level of belief has changed in my time here on BFF. I've been something like 60/40 in favor of existence for a long time, though my belief waivers a bit with my mood or frustration level at the time (so many hoaxes). Having seen all the 'evidence' you guys/gals have seen, the most compelling arguments in favor of existence for me are the least reliable - eyewitness reports. I'm well aware of all the problems with eyewitness reports and discount a lot of them, perhaps most. Still, the ones that pass the smell test and feel/seem legit I can't explain away and they keep me coming back for more.

Nice try Bonehead74 but; I seriously doubt that any significant percentage of people reporting Bigfoot since 1924 had ever even heard of Albert Ostman.

What are the chances that Ostman's account seeded/influenced the details of these later reports?

Ostman may have been correct on at least 15 bigfoot facts known today. As time went on after Ostman's case, more and more devilish details about bigfoot have been reported from witnesses. These details match what Ostman described. Now, what are the chances Ostman made up this story and was correct on all 15 details? If someone wants to list the details about bigfoot that Ostman noticed it would be cool. One detail that was shocking was bigfoot wove a cedar blanket with inserted moss bundles for warmth. Has this been reported before?
