New Member Introductions

[LAkadian]

Howdy everyone. I'm new. Thirty something ranch hand outside the Ft Worth Texas area. I never had an encounter, but have developed a fascination with this. I'm just here to learn more and with any luck, read some interesting stories. 

 

My favorite so far is one from the old Art Bell show, "Midnight In The Desert", the experiences of a nice Texas lady called Elaine, and her son, Sierra. She claimed she had a small family of bigfoots on the outskirts of her acreage and the male father would peek into their windows and leave scat in the yard, and that she regularly left pies in her back yard for him to find. 

It had some humorous elements, but painted them as intelligent primates. Worth searching up on YT. 

 

I've seen all Les Stroud's material on the topic, and recently watched a couple documentaries. Well, anyway, cheers! Looking forward to reading and chatting a bit.

Hello

I have been interested in Cryptids since 1972 my first book I could order in school book sale was on Bigfoot and Loch Ness monsters and it has only grown.With the internet introduction I have read all I can about the Sasquatch encounters and listen to many of the podcasts dedicated to the beings.I am 61 and have been out in field a few times and what to become a part of a group campout in the near future. I am a believer just haven't actually seen a Sasquatch.My hope is to become more informed to try to do my own research. Hello to all

Hello ravenzdad3. Group camping can have a safety factor but too many people can have negative effects. One to two people is good to rouse the curiosity factor in animals while doing car camping. No need to go on an epic cross country hike. If your area has big bears, then sleeping in your vehicle ( hard side camping ) may be the way to go. You might be surprised with what walks by your vehicle in the dark of night. Bulk up on safety gear.

Howdy! I'm Gandalf from Alabama. I've had a few experiences which started my general curiosity and various adventures in researching bigfoot. Excited to be a part of this community.

Technically not a new member but my how the forums have grown since I was last active here - Congratulations Gigantor and all the members of the management team.

 

Grew up in the 60s and 70s and learned everything I needed to know about Bigfoot from In Search of and the The Six Million Dollar Man.  Then completely forgot about Bigfoot from the 80s to the aughts.  Sometime around 2010 or 2011 I saw multiple specials back-to-back on the topic, such as Bigfoot, Legend Meets Science and was sort of stunned to see that Bigfoot was still "a thing."  Was able to concentrate on the issue, but work and family life took a couple of turns for the more complex and I lacked the time and energy to keep up here, so disappeared circa 2015-2016.

 

I have never seen a Bigfoot and don't expect to, but now that I'm approaching retirement I hope to contribute more frequently, particularly to the SSR.  I have my own database of over 1,000 sightings in the northeast US and eastern Canada.  Even managed to interview a few witnesses.  Have come to two conclusions - first, that Bigfoot exists, and second, that it will never be believed until there is an unequivocal body or body part on a slab.  Unfortunately, until that undeniable proof exists, most of the world will continue to look at Bigfoot as a myth.

Hi, Canadian here.  I’m sorry 😁.  A believer, very curious, and just a wee bit sceptical.  I believe the PGF is genuine, and cannot possibly be a hoax.  However, I have spent a considerable amount of time outdoors in Western Canada’s BF hotspots without ever experiencing anything like an encounter, and really haven’t seen any evidence that comes close to being as compelling as the PG film.  Looking forward to seeing or hearing about some other compelling stories, experiences, and evidence.

Hi,

I am Michael from Florida. I am interested in learning mroe about Bigfoot, and read several books on the topic. I am trained as a research scientist, so very analytical. I also published a sci fi on nephilim. Looking forward to learning more.

Thanks for allowing me to participate.

Hi, I've been interested in the Bigfoot phenomena since the earliest article in Argosy magazine.  I've gone from being an adamant believer that they were an undiscovered animal (easy for a young boy to believe) to having serious doubts that such an animal could remain undiscovered in the U.S. considering how well developed it is terms of roadways, even in National Forests.  So now I'm wondering if there isn't a third option, neither an animal or simply the results of hoaxing and mis-identification.  

[Rsh]

Hi from VA. Never had an encounter, but have been a believer since I was a small child.

[Trogluddite]

Welcome Shuswampy, Watcher, jameskrav, and Rsh.  All the regular greeters must be off today, so you've got about #20 on the depth chart.  You will find plenty here to enlighten you.

Hi. New member. I had a sighting in 1996 in michigan in a populated area nonetheless that you would not think to see a sasquatch. I am just here to learn.

NE Ohio here. Not much else to say...
