This is insane and doesn't deserve any further explanation. 1) Then when I ask for a missing person list from the Park Service? It should be an easy thing to produce, no? And you certainly don’t see missing person posters inside a park….do you? I never have. I suppose that would be very bad for business? Paulides had to dig to get to a list. 2) Not sure how you would make a “deal” with a Sasquatch. You’re not sitting down on a buffalo robe with mirrors and trinkets in order for them to agree to sign a treaty with the U.S. government. 3) If we believe that Sasquatch exists? Then I am not sure how we can write off any missing persons case. What do Native Americans say about Sasquatch kidnapping people? What does our own modern accounts say about Sasquatch kidnapping people? Albert Ostman anyone? Further? Native Americans claim Sasquatch was a cannibal. Bart Schleyer was undressed with his clothes found inside out before he was eaten. Odd behavior? The guy was a Bear biologist. Yah that’s odd. We can complain about facts and who is right or wrong. But there is ZERO chance that the Federal government with its military and alphabet agencies and the trillions of dollars spent does NOT know about this species. Absolutely ZERO! So if a troupe of 800lbs hominids are roaming your park and you know about it? And someone goes missing? And there is evidence that they may have been taken by a predator? And you stay silent? I would say you’re complicit in the crime that is happening under your watch…. No deal necessary.

Here's a published list of missing persons from the Alaska State Troopers. I don't think this differentiates what lands they became missing from, and I believe that this list is incomplete for many reasons (like the formally missing person is presumed dead). Quote .........2, show me the list of missing people that no-body knows are missing......... If nobody knows that a person is missing, the person is not legally missing,

I think the primary law enforcement agency on missing persons is the most local authority, ie county sheriff. In the case of the feds taking a case, it's likely due to evidence that the missing person has crossed state lines, and in that case the agency would be the FBI, not the Park Service or other federal land manager. Quote ........2) Not sure how you would make a “deal” with a Sasquatch......... Thank you. You're catching on (I think........). This is the precise reason why, if sasquatches are of the genus Homo, the government does NOT want them "discovered", because they would have human rights that would complicate a whole bunch more than just federal land management.

I'm genuinely looking for cases where there's something to them without Paulides' embellishments but they seem very thin on the ground. For instance, the Schleyer case seems to be a case of natural death followed by scavengers, unusual sure, but it happens. 20 hours ago, norseman said: We can complain about facts and who is right or wrong.

It surely depends on how much of the military and agencies' time and how much of the government's trillions are directed towards the pursuit of confirming the existence of Bigfoot. If they directed all their resources towards finding bigfoot, we'd no doubt have a definitive answer in short order, one way or another. However, it probably suits them to leave things as they are, in which case, they wouldn't direct resources that way. I'm not sure if the government would involve themselves in trying to establish the existence of any animal anyway, other than potentially providing research grants (which seem, on the state and federal level, available more for study of already established animals rather than establishing the existence of new species). As I've mentioned before, I don't think anyone could consider the government to 'know' conclusively of bigfoot's existence without a body anyway, in much the same way as science wouldn't consider the species proven without one. pictures, thermals, footprints, anecdotal evidence from individual government employees etc could easily be dismissed as insufficiently conclusive in the same way as they currently are by science generally. I'm not saying that I'm concrete in any of the above opinions, I'm very willing to be proven wrong, how else do we learn and progress.

I was thinking more about recent reports rather than historical, nearing 100 yrs old, but I should have been more clear - there may be more recent ones that I haven't come across. 14 minutes ago, Huntster said: I'm not going to deny that sasquatches are cannibals or not, because I don't know, but chimps and Homo sapiens are (and Neanderthals accused of) ............sometimes.

Ostman himself (I believe) opined that he may have been brought as a suitor for the young female. I agree to a degree. If they exist, there's a chance they could be cannibal sometimes. But assuming that they exist, assuming that they are cannibals and assuming that they are responsible for disappearances that can be explained by mundane, proven existence, is too much for me. I guess I need to see something in these stories that cannot be explained by natural occurrences before considering the unproven. Another point that occurs to me that isn't necessarily relevant to this discussion is - 'what would you consider 'cannibal' for a sasquatch? Chimps eating chimps - cannibal. Humans eating humans - cannibal. Sasquatch theoretically eating humans? Not so clear, given that a cannibal is an animal that consumes the flesh of it's own species.

It's interesting and suspicious that most kidnapping reports are a century or more of age. I did read one from an anthropologist who studied the Koyukon natives in Alaska and who interviewed a Koyukon man who claimed that a female "woodsman" followed him around for days before finally rushing him. He claimed to kill it with his knife. He believed that it brought him bad luck in life later, and that she wanted to "make love to him". I have to wonder how the sudden technological explosion has impressed sasquatches. Native Americans no longer shoot bows and arrows. For the past 150 years (not long, really) they shoot pretty powerful rifles like the European invaders. That might have changed some sasquatch habits.............

I guess I need to see something in these stories that cannot be explained by natural occurrences before considering the unproven.......... I understand. I don't much think about the weeds at this point unless it's brought up. But sometimes, after discussions like this, I tend to accept some basic common sense likelihoods.

Humans eating humans - cannibal. Sasquatch theoretically eating humans? Not so clear, given that a cannibal is an animal that consumes the flesh of it's own species. Good point. I wasn't clear. If a Sasquatch eats a homo sapien, is it a cannibal? I really can't say except to ask another question: If a Neanderthal ate a Cro Magnan, was it cannibalistic? I ask that because I believe that sasquatches are a human species.

I don't have any answers. It's certainly interesting to consider though. It's another thing that we can only confirm with species verification, in turn leading to verifiable DNA (from an actual body, whether living or dead, rather than hair or EDNA that nobody saw being left at the scene). In turn this would confirm the level of proximity to homo sapiens, at which point discussions regarding 'human' rights vs animal conservation, cannibalism, possible interbreeding etc can potentially be settled.

This has happened exactly once that we know of: Zana of Abkhazia. The village she was taken and kept by believed she was an Almas, and it is very understandable why they believed that. She matched the description perfectly. Two genetic studies confirmed that she was homo sapien, and so was definitively a feral human. The second peer reviewed genetic study (Margaryan) actually included a statement regarding the morality of what happened to her and referenced her human rights. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9744565/

But the above is where I've landed based on my current knowledge and consideration. Ostman The idea of a 800 lbs bipedal primate roaming North America is far fetched. It’s inline with many reports of Sasquatch. I have a researcher buddy that claims something lifted half his tent up late one night with him in it. Why not eat him? Maybe that was the plan? Do you walk in from a grocery store at your house and eat all the groceries in one sitting? No. Huntster is spot on. Ostman believed he was kidnapped as a prospective mate for the “daughter”. Schleyer I never said the clothes were untouched. I said the pants were inside out. His hunting mask was also found with blood on it. Zero fabric was found in any predator scat. No signs of a struggle. He was found by friends and family searchers as well. The RCMP was not helpful. It sounds almost like the Bauman story. Except instead of a bite to the neck? Something snuck up behind Bart and hit him over the head and undressed him and possibly ate part of him. A bear would have ate the mask and the pants. The fabric would have been in the scat. Government They are not looking for Sasquatch. They are watching our borders. They are watching our shores. They are watching our criminals. They are studying our wildlife. They are studying our volcanoes. They are watching our traffic. They are watching our passes. They are watching our ports. And we are not even talking about secret squirrel stuff. Satellites, drones, aircraft, boats, flir cameras, audio recorders, seismic sensors, etc. There is a zero percent chance that they have not detected a 800 lbs primate living under their noses. Once you come to this single lone but obvious conclusion? You realize that you have been lied to! So do not expect the truth from the government. If truth is to be had? Then we have to do it ourselves.🤷🏻♂️
Pembo Posted 1 hour ago Posted 1 hour ago 14 hours ago, norseman said: Ostman The idea of a 800 lbs bipedal primate roaming North America is far fetched. Agreed. Though at least there is some significant evidence. 14 hours ago, norseman said: It’s inline with many reports of Sasquatch. I have a researcher buddy that claims something lifted half his tent up late one night with him in it. As discussed above with Huntster, it's not unreported, but all reports of kidnapping that I'm aware of are 100 yrs old, thereabouts, or older. Your friend's experience - I've heard a few reports of lifting up tents, running hands across tents, even peering in, but I wouldn't necessarily class them the same as kidnapping - more 'curiosity' for want of a better word. If a human lifted part of your tent on a campsite, they probably wouldnt's face legal consequences. If someone lifted you and carried you off, they certainly would. There's a difference there (btw that is in no way meant to downplay your friend's experience, which must have been horrendously frightening). 15 hours ago, norseman said: Huntster is spot on. Ostman believed he was kidnapped as a prospective mate for the “daughter”. So do not expect the truth from the government. If truth is to be had? Then we have to do it ourselves.🤷🏻♂️ Again, I have no definitve answers, but I'm not aware of any animal (other than humans of course) that have taken other animals captive, either to eat or later copulate with, or in this instance, copulate with a family member. As you say, the idea of an 800lbs unknown primate is far fetched. Adding kidnapping, sex trafficking and cannibalism as further unproven behavioural leaps to that already unproven primate's behaviour based on a century old story or two is too much for me (again, not saying I'm definitely correct or that it's impossible, just explaining my way of looking at things). 15 hours ago, norseman said: Schleyer I never said the clothes were untouched. I said the pants were inside out. His hunting mask was also found with blood on it. Zero fabric was found in any predator scat. No signs of a struggle. He was found by friends and family searchers as well. The RCMP was not helpful. Absolutely, you didn't say that. Apologies, I never meant to suggest that you did, but looking back at my post, it does read like I was accusing you of that and I should have been more clear. My actual thinking was that, essentially, the pants are the only thing that seemingly cannot be explained by the mundane - specifically the pants as mentioned in the more sensational versions that I have read/heard, which do include stories of bones in the pants, standing upright (in one account whilst still in the boots). I was just wondering what the actual, provable by independent sources, version was, and whether you or someone else might be able to point me in the direction of such sources. I agree that the RCMP seem entirely useless in this case. From opinions I'ev read, this doesn't seem out of character, as far as SAR and wilderness investigations are concerned. 15 hours ago, norseman said: It sounds almost like the Bauman story. Except instead of a bite to the neck? Something snuck up behind Bart and hit him over the head and undressed him and possibly ate part of him. Don't know about the Bauman case, but with Schleyer, it seems to me the most likely explanation is a cardiac arrest or something similar, followed by scavangers (not necessarilty bears). I know he was physically imposing but there are many who have shown no outward sign of issues and died suddenly of such issues. 15 hours ago, norseman said: A bear would have ate the mask and the pants. The fabric would have been in the scat. Would fabric have been in the scat? I don't know. I've heard many say that it would, but in doing so their arguments rely on comparing it to the case of Timothy Treadwell. But that's based on the contents of the bear's stomach as inspected after it was killed a day, two tops, after it ate Treadwell. Here, it seems Schleyer died a day or two after he was last seen and no remains were found for 2 1/2 weeks. If the remains were to go through the full digestive tract of a bear, rather than extracted from the stomach, would the clothes still be visible? I have no answer. Either way, if he died of natural causes and scavangers got at him, it wouldn't need to be a bear who ate him. It wouldn't need to be scat within a few feet that would show cloth anyway. another bear could have eaten the clothed parts and not passed it until miles away. 15 hours ago, norseman said: They are not looking for Sasquatch.

Once you come to this single lone but obvious conclusion? You realize that you have been lied to! I agree that if Bigfoot exists, they would have 'detected' it. But my opinion, as expressed elsewhere, is that the Government will not, and can't objectively be expected to, acknowledge it unless and until it has indisputable proof in the form of a body. FLIR, audio recordings, video recordings, seismic sensors, photographs, sightings, castings etc - these exist for the inspection of the general scientific world. It is not considered sufficient to confirm the existence of the species and can be explained away by misidentification, man in a ghillie suit, bear on two legs, pareidolia, hoax etc. Why would the government take a different stance? Especially if it suits the government's best interest to leave things as they are.
