Guest Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 ^Ed Gein lived on a remote farm in the middle of nowhere, Charles Manson lived on a ranch in the middle of the desert. Remote places do weird things to people. Well I was talking about people in remote farms being visited. I wouldn't necessarily think psychopath.

roguefooter Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 ^Why not? Psychopaths exist wherever people exist, no matter how remote. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 Psychopaths would be likely to do more than just look and then disappear. You'd have more chance of it being a Peeping Tom but here again, a Peeping Tom likely wouldn't chance a long journey out to some remote farm with the risk of getting shot just for a quick gawp into a bedroom window when there are probably better options, unless he is obsessed by somebody who lives in the farm. For the sake of being different, how about a burglar? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't brush off a peeping tom any less than a psychopath. A lot of murderers and rapists start off by doing things like that. People getting decapitated? Same thing. The bottom line is that this kind of potential risk should be considered before anything like a Bigfoot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 I don't particularly A: buy into that these creatures are out beheading people. B: That they would be blood thirsty monsters like said podcasts seems to be constantly advocating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JDL Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 (edited) ^Ed Gein lived on a remote farm in the middle of nowhere, Charles Manson lived on a ranch in the middle of the desert. Remote places do weird things to people. I think the opposite is true. Weird people tend to gravitate to remote places. None of the weirdos we used to encounter in Northwestern Nevada originated there. They moved there to set up cults, militarized compounds, etc. It was even worse in the late sixties and seventies as all the deadbeats in the country migrated West through Nevada to the promised land. Plenty of those hit Reno thinking they were going to live off of the casino's, got bled dry, and then dispersed into surrounding area. Edited to add: A weird person who goes remote to avoid societal judgement does tend to get weirder in isolation, though.

Yuchi1 Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 ^^^ Wonder if that's where inspiration for the Mad Maxx movies came from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 The boys who do that show undoubtedly have their own views that they push on the people that listen each and every week which are that these animals aren't the lovey dovey "forest people" that some people think they are, and are actually quite dangerous wild animals that highly likely do hurt humans at times and they only have guests on their show who always drop in words to that effect in every interview they air. Whether they're right or not, who knows. My guess as always is that like so many things, it's somewhere in the middle. I don't believe every one of these animals has an underlying intention to eat people like the Guys that do that show seem to think, but nor do I think these animals are just big hairy furballs that are more likely to leave a flower on your porch and smile at you than anything else, like others seem to think. I agree whether they intend to eat people or not, it sort becomes a moot point if they eat you once. You wouldn’t be around to debate their intended virtues I would think.

It would be a very RARE human who tear a head off without a knife or some way of cutting through the bones and muscles. I live in the country. Is that reason for me starting BF research? I feel like I need to blame something now and then. LOL, I hear you my friend! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roguefooter Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 Can a bear tear a human's head off? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 A bear can for sure. Would probably leave claw marks though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 (edited) This thread is way too long to read every post so apologies if this was mentioned already. When they hunt they go for the head. It is the easiest part of an animal to get a grip on and kill it immediately. Snapping an animal's neck is as easy for them as it is for us to open a can of pop/soda. It is over in a flash and then they rip the carcass open from end to end. Chances are at some point a human was killed in much the same manner. There have been reports of Sasquatch attacks with near misses to the head. My bet is they likely do not change tactics if their intent is to kill a person.

JDL Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 Consider how many animals use their heads to attack. To bite, to ram, to gore with horns, antlers, or tusks. The head is a weapon and contains the brain, the biggest weapon of all. It is also a natural point of vulnerability. Doesn't make sense to ignore it.
