Menacing Shadow, Calculating Predator, Or Playful Sasquatch?

[Guest]

I'm having a hard time believing this one. The location seems too urban and I also find it hard to believe that he couldn't see it.

I used to live near there. It's a very urban area. I'm wondering why a squatch would be in this area in the first place. It had to circumvent miles of urban area to get to this location.

I'm with Orang. Hard time believing this one. When a report is so well written, I get suspicious. Good read, though, and terrifying.

I read this report a while back and discounted it due to the overly dramatic narrative. Reads more like a fictional tale than a factual account.

Look at the Jim Carter incident at Ape Canyon. Apparently they noted the marks left by his skis and determined that he was being pursued, but there dont seem to be reports of any Bigfoot tracks trailing him. I assume, then, that he was being flanked from inside the treeline. It makes sense, following prey from the side, especially if you can go undetected, because rather than having to catch up to them and take them down from behind, you have a natural collision point if the prey decides to turn.

nteresting subject, but I have to ask; 'Why not ' all of the above' and a whole lot more...if, as is often presumed, they are close relatives to us why wouldn't their motives for their behaviors when it comes to acceptable food sources also be complex like ours? For that matter even bears will behave in ways that defy explanations due to the fact that even bears have fairly large and complex brains...they don't simply eat everything they see just because they can. Predators eat what they sense they can get and that their instincts urge them to pursue and what has worked before will all work to condition their responses...they don't simply see a critter and decide to eat it because they can...eating for any organism, but in particular for large intelligent critters, is a complex instinctive behavior with all sorts of instinctual responses factored in. cheers

Imaginary!

Evidence?

[Guest]

Did any neighbours notice massive footprints across their gardens, or skidmarks in the gravel?........

[the parkie]

No, but there may well have been some skidmarks in the chased man's underwear.

There would be in mine for sure!

In other words: none.

Doesn't it give you pause that this guy, as LC pointed out, said he could run 22mph? It's possible I suppose, but he admitted he smoked and didn't mention being a track guy at a college or anything, so....

There doesn't seem to be any believable evidence that this is any more than a fabrication.

Correct no evidence this every happened

Believe what you want Mulder that's your call, as it is for all.

I just don't believe this story or the majority of reports, if you chose to great!

I have asked no one to prove this story true nor do I have to prove it false.

Seems too urban for a sasquatch to be roaming around nearby and threatening humans. It was estimated at being 5-6 feet away and couldn't see anything? Not even eyeshine? No porch light was turned on? No flashlight was within reach? I'm not saying I don't believe the story, but these things look like inconsistencies with other reports.

Are there any contemporary reports about Jim Carter? The earliest story I could find about the disappearance is from 1963, 13 years after it supposedly happened. A story about Ape Canyon and Bigfoot sightings in 1962 didn't even mention Carter.
