Guest Posted November 27, 2010 Share Posted November 27, 2010 Saw a frozen caveman/bigfoot when I was a kid. It was a hairy primitive looking guy with a screwed up looking eye, bad teeth and a nasty big toe. Oh and it smelled like roadkill through the ice. Was probably fake but it helped get me interested. Also was a "skunkape" craze in my area in the late 70's. What story, event, experience, film, individual, etc., about Bigfoot was the most convincing to you, got you interested ? Perhaps it was experiencing, reading, hearing from others or watching the story unfold on a TV screen...that first piqued your interest in Bigfoot. In my case it was going to the Patterson- Gimlin presentation 40 odd years ago at the local civic auditorium. I recall Mr. Patterson very clearly answering questions from the audience, the film....the whole thing. Obviously it made quite an impression on my teenage mind. What was it for you ?

Guest Posted November 27, 2010 Share Posted November 27, 2010 That darn frozen *caveman* made it around I reckon. I saw it as a kid as well and it did smell. It was in the parking lot of a local strip mall and there was a pretty long line of folks that walked through the trailer and viewed the body. I badgered the heck out of my mom to make sure we were in that line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Maggie Posted November 27, 2010 Share Posted November 27, 2010 My fascination started when I was seven years old and came upon a footprint while on a walk with my grandfather. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Yeti1974 Posted November 27, 2010 Share Posted November 27, 2010 I haven't admitted this yet, but beyond The Six Million Dollar Man in the 70s and early Bigfoot documentaries, and John Green by the time I got to college, playing fantasy role playing games in high school in the late 80s and early 90s played a big part in keeping my interest in "monsters" alive from my childhood. Dungeons and Dragons had a yeti you could fight---I still remember the artwork of the yeti from the D&D manuals as something that fascinated me. Also, there was an awesome D&D novel called The Crystal Shard that starts out with a yeti attack. Good times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw it at a large carnival, either in the late 60's or very early 70's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 28, 2010 Share Posted November 28, 2010 I am not interested in Bigfoot. I want proof of what I encountered. I only study the topic as a necessity to help accomplish my goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest MABigfoot Posted November 28, 2010 Share Posted November 28, 2010 (edited) My Dad had a subscription to Argosy Magazine and there was an article from 1969 about the "Minnesota Ice Man". I was 9 at the time and was captivated by the pictures! I found a reference to the article, very interesting! http://www.bigfootencounters.com/articles/argosy2.htm Edited November 28, 2010 by MABigfoot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please, I get it (we all do) with your desire for proof. Mentioning your desire/demand in every thread doesn't bring your wish any closer. Not criticizing, just mentioning. Sincere thanks.

xspider1 Posted November 28, 2010 Share Posted November 28, 2010 I think for me it was the Legend of Boggy Creek as well. Me and my brothers were young enough at the time to consider that movie to be a very interesting and scary 'documentary'. Then seeing the PGF later cemented the deal- the way she walks so naturally and the look back, of course. Gorillas and such were generally my favorite animals at the zoo and I always wanted a pet monkey. Lately that has been so that I could teach him or her to bring me and my friends a beer but; I understand that, as a general rule, one absolutely does not want a pet monkey. : B Thanks for asking!

Guest Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 I think for me it was The Legend of Boggy Creek. My older brother took me to it when I was a kid, and it was really creepy, and Leonard Nimoy's In search of. I still watch any show on the subject when they come on. The 70's was a great time for the subject of Bf, especially a kid living in rural B.C. Been keeping an eye out ever since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
