Absolutely false. It as likely makes it copycat lies and/or shared mistakes in observation and interpretation.

Around 1980 before I had any definite information on Bigfoot and all I knew about it was what the Patterson Gimlin film showed. Then one day my wood cutting partner and I went way up into the mountains by a little town called Prospect Oregon. The ground was flat and had large Douglas fir trees that covered the ground with forest and in between the trees there were 8 foot high bushes In a scattered formation with open clear areas. After wood cutting all day we threw our sleeping bags out in the open area and went to sleep for the night. Now during the night about two in the morning I had a paranormal experience with Bigfoot. Now I could call it telepathy or extrasensory perception Because I was sleeping soundly after a long day's work and a strange event was about to happen at 2:00 in the morning. At this time I snapped awake for no reason that I can think of and looked about 30 yards ahead into the face of a Bigfoot that was staring at my partner and I from behind a large fallen log. I have no explanation as to why I snapped awake at this time except for this paranormal experience. Hello Backdoc, and thank you for your comment and interest in this thread. Now if you read my reply just before this one, I explained a paranormal event that happened to me many years ago when I saw a Bigfoot that was watching us while we slept out under the stars. Since then, I've had other paranormal experiences that I attribute to Bigfoot such as vanishing during an observation. Many other people have reported paranormal experiences while observing Bigfoot. However, these same people that are probably woodsmen and spend much of time in the forest don't report paranormal activities with deer, bear, cougars, chipmunks and normal earth-bound creatures. Now I'm not stating this as a fact that Bigfoot is paranormal, but it's a theory. When so many people report the same paranormal event happening over and over again, it begins to make a fact. This hunch makes me wonder why Bigfoot is different from your normal earthbound animals such as bears Cougars deer world and many other animals that do not have reported paranormal behaviors. Now, if my theory is true how would Bigfoot get from a foreign planet to here? Do you spend a lot of time in the forest? Have you ever seen a Bigfoot? I don't see anything particularly "paranormal" in your waking up suddenly. Humans are still hardwired for survival and with a strong fight or flight reflex. A smell, or a pheromone, or any number of things could have alerted your "soundly sleeping" and "tired after a long days work" body that there was something amiss and awakened you. It could have been a noise your "soundly sleeping" consciousness didn't register but that part of your brain that is still working might have and awakened you. In the absence of anything else, your brain is now searching for an explanation and the only thing it could come up with was "woo" to fill in the gaps. I place zero credibility in the "woo" factor, none whatsoever. Sorry if that bothers you, but it's not my responsibility to participate in what I as a 27 year police veteran and current attorney consider to be "whimsical faux evidence lacking any scientific basis". Conversely, it's not your responsibility to change your mind because of my opinion. When I had my face to face, there were two days of very out of place vocalizations, building slaps, and disturbances in the tree line near our cabin before a very real, very physical, very zoological bigfoot stepped out in front of me at a distance of 10 yards and we stared at one another for 5-15 seconds before it broke to its left and went crashing through the thicket and pines. No "portal" opened up other than the one it created by physically busting through the brush. Call me old fashioned, but I place zero credibility in ANY paranormal, extraterrestrial, spiritual, ghost, or extradimensional connection to the phenomenon. Again, it's not my place or yours to change one another's mind but I am intellectually honest and won't compromise my conviction based on evidence to entertain what I consider to be delusion. 1
