Guest Forbig Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 That's fine Tim, and I've only stated facts that's why I still believe it could be real. I've seen some twist the facts far too many times on this sighting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen some twist the facts far too many times on this sighting. Forbig Can you post some of the results from the article by the Duke guy? Also. After the first time I skinned a bear I was amazed how much it resembled a small man. Just saying. Edited September 19, 2011 by parnassus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GuyInIndiana Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 That still don't explain why all these witnesses plus some others heard so many wood knocks and vocal sounds while investigating it. Or the long history of eye witness sightings in that very same area. Or the survey that couldn't explain its odd proportions, or the short torso primate models that fit in its footsteps. And yet, still, there isn't a SHREAD of proof that Sasquatch travel on all 4's either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadowBorn Posted September 19, 2011 Moderator Share Posted September 19, 2011 Time stamps on the sequence of pictures tell a defferent story.Sure whent I first saw the picture it looked like a chimp. But when I seen the rest of the photos with the bears in them and the times stamps on the pictures and in sequence.Well they were bears eating off the bait station. I have seen juvuniles through a night scope and the ones I seen looked taller and skinnier,longer legs and arms. Also did not go on fours stayed up right but hunched with arms slightly hanging.

GuyInIndiana Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 Well, we all have our own standards for what will and won't pass muster. Mine are high enough, and comfortable enough with what I saw to understand the physics doesn't work, unless we have more than one 'type' of sasquatch, and I find that even more unlikely than the fact they exist in the first place. Show me proof of quad-movement and I'll eat my words, until then, it just doesn't work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Forbig Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 And yet, still, there isn't a SHREAD of proof that Sasquatch travel on all 4's either. It wasn't on all fours it was bent over looking at the bait supporting its weight and then it looks like it tried to turn itself inside out or something.

Guest COGrizzly Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 Well, we all have our own standards for what will and won't pass muster. Uhem, Guy - don't mean to call you out here, but I believe the expression is "...won't pass mustard". As in, I won't pass you the mustard cause that doesn't fly with me, so you can't have any mustard. Ppppphh, "muster", that makes no sense at all! Silly! BTT - It was a mangy bear. There were other cubs around on the pics time stamped. But thats my O and everyone has a right to have their own O. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a long time for nothing to be there and they never came back. The camera was up for several days and the next photo after the creature was of the hunter picking up the camera. I've been much closer to bear I've waited for them to get away from my car once before I exited it and was standing in their same spot within seconds. Does that make me a bear? IMO if it was watching them from a distance and it waited 28 minutes after they were gone it was being over cautious.

Guest Forbig Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 Forbig Can you post some of the results from the article by the Duke guy? I copied it just a little bit ago from my local library for somebody else I was talking to about it and never had the chance to share it with them. The article was in issue #58 in Scientriffic magazine a publication to be used by young students. It was a woman named Vanessa Woods that is a primate specialist from Duke University she wrote the article called Bigfoot Science Fiction Or Science Fact? The article starts with the Jacobs creature "Is this a photo of a Bigfoot?" She questioned. Then she showed how they "scientists" worked out the size of the Jacobs creature. She had the Jacobs creature figured to have 22" long arms and a 18 3/4" torso from measurements taken on location at the site. She asked "why should we think about Bigfoot?" Then she said, "Like many scientists, you might think Bigfoot is nonsense. But, first think about other scientific discoveries, such as meteorites. When people first saw rocks falling out of the sky, many scientists said it was impossible, and that people were just imagining it." She said "Sometimes, science requires a leap of faith. Just because you can't see it or touch it, doesn't mean it doesn't exist. So, who can say for certain that Bigfoot is not real?" She said "before you decide whether Bigfoot is a big prank, have a look at all of the evidence. Maybe, somewhere out in the wilderness, Bigfoot-one of the last great mysteries on Earth- is walking through the trees." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been there, done that, and took my lumps. Edit: there are plenty of opportunities to correct folks on their use of English. I rarely take the opportunity, for a variety of reasons, best left unexplained. But "your" means your. It doesn't mean "you are."

Guest Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 . . . It was a woman named Vanessa Woods that is a primate specialist from Duke University she wrote the article called Bigfoot Science Fiction Or Science Fact? . . . So, who can say for certain that Bigfoot is not real?" She said "before you decide whether Bigfoot is a big prank, have a look at all of the evidence. Maybe, somewhere out in the wilderness, Bigfoot-one of the last great mysteries on Earth- is walking through the trees." . . . Which is all stuff and nonsense. She's written that we can't prove bigfoot isn't real and that maybe it really is. That's nothing but a lightweight "Keep an open mind, kids" kind of statement. How on earth can you interpret this as demonstrating that the "Jacobs creature" is a bigfoot? Also, sticking up for COGrizzly here - I'm pretty sure his "mustard" comment was in jest.
