bigfoot

It's said that skepticism is a method, while denialism is a position. During my time here, I've come to terms with the fact that the majority of the Bigfoot-devoted skeptics here aren't actually skeptics at all, but rather denialists hiding behind the label of "skeptic". These people are...

Some ISF Bigfoot skeptics have settled on an explanation for the behavior of Bigfoot enthusiasts, called BLAARGing in shorthand. As I understand their arguments, I find the BLAARGing concept or meme inadequate and reductionist as a tool to understanding Bigfoot phenomena generally. The concept...

We probably should have a separate thread for the issue of the NAWAC claims concerning the existence of bi-pedal apes in southeastern Oklahoma. At least one well-known skeptic, Sharon Hill, has made these intriguing statements about the recently released report by NAWAC: "Fascinating! What...

The big thing here these days seems to be cryptids (and more specifically bigfoot). I have been criticized for having the audacity to not assume all claims come from frauds, and for actually looking at the claims. Apparently, this is not how one is "supposed" to do such research. Well, it...

(the information in this post may or may not be factual - you decide!) I'm traveling fairly often due to my job and I also love to get out in the woods and hike, mtn bike and canoe/kayak. Due to the nature of my work I'm not always able to bring a bike or canoe/kayak along and sometimes I have...

This thread is for the discussion of the recent book put out by Bill Munns regarding the Patterson-Gimlin Film of 1967. It is the purpose of the author, a former Hollywood fx artist, to demonstrate that the BigFooT looking creature we see is not a guy in a suit, but a living, breathing...

http://www.usatoday.com/story/travel/destinations/2014/10/24/bigfoot-sightings-america-gulf-coast-bigfoot-research-organization/17834725/ I love the distinction made between "Sasquatch" and "Bigfoot" as if there was any kind of serious, careful scientific rigor here.

The latest ridiculous bigfoot video... http://cryptomundo.com/bigfoot-report/white-bigfoot-caught-at-night/

I've spent most of my time here posting on the 9/11 forum, but I'd like to know from the Bigfoots, is this a conspiracy theory in the same way as 9/11 or Holocaust denial?

lol. I couldn't see what thread this fit in, and it's something fresh. So here ya go: There is an event being promoted by the California State Parks you can read about here: http://bigfootevidence.blogspot.com/2014/07/zoologist-dr-ron-brown-to-give-lecture.html It is allegedly one Dr. Ron...

Physics experts unite and debunk this. White oak tree, 24" at the base, 60' tall, a Bigfooter said that a 700 pound Bigfoot running along a branch toward the tree trunk, 45' up the tree, at 20mph, could break the tree trunk at 2' from the ground. Said something about moment of inertia...

I've been passively involved with Bigfootery for a few years now as a skeptic. Quite frankly the whole sub-culture is fascinating and there's a lot of mythos surrounding the non-existent creature. I'm a budding filmmaker based in Vermont (if the name didn't clue you in), and I've been giving...

This close encounter of a bigfoot on Vancouver Island with footage is the most convincing I've seen. Just when the entity walks passed a tree the sunlight shows the head and upper torso in detail. The red fur and conical shaped head can be clearly seen. New Bigfoot Video from Canada...

Rotten Tomatoes gives it good ratings. http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/willow_creek/ Has anyone seen the movie or heard anything about it?

Thought I'd start this out to avoid derailing other threads. So, what do youse people think? I guess I'll add that role-playing is NAWAC-ing off while playground-pretend is having all them happy footies dancin' on the lawn.

Loren Coleman is soliciting item donations for his Crypto museum. I feel this is a bad move. He is going to get about 5000 worthless casts of alligator feet, and bear prints. We should all help him out and send in our best Cryptozoological trinkets. Why do you think he is also asking for...

After spending a long time researching Bigfoot history, when I saw this website, it immediately triggered memories of interviews with Stan Johnson. He would claim that Bigfoot is a 4th dimensional being, that was sent to earth as an emissary from the Star People. He claimed that he had...

This may seem like a slightly strange request but I was approached by a BFF staff member and asked if I would like to contribute content to the Skeptic's Corner section of the BFF Virtual Library. There are a meager 5 articles there right now and there has been no new content since Nov 2012. I...

What the heck is this site? It looks like stories made up from whole cloth or cryptofiction. http://cryptozoologynews.com/ The stories are reported only to this "source". They are not confirmed or investigated, just reproduced. But they are being cited in other news outlets. I'd like to dig...

http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/mageefx/primal-rage-the-legend-of-oh-mah The videos are really pretty sweet. And I think this costume might be the source for the Melissa Hovey costume. http://weirdthings.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/clearsquatch2-460x344.png

This story is commonly repeated as proof that bigfoot skulls have been found and are being covered up. Here's a video interview with the guy who found it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DYGlu_qPseY The problem I have is that we don't have any word from anybody ease involved.

There are already five threads about Bigfoot on the front page of this section. I don't care enough to read a single one. Bigfoot is kindergarten skepticism. With all the pseudoscience really causing harm like quacks and SCAM, why is everyone obsessed with Bigfoot. I see no harm having...

I've been seeing this advertised on the Spike network recently. http://www.spike.com/articles/xpekll/bigfoot-bounty-the-10-million-dollar-bigfoot-bounty-is-on I got my popcorn ready.

Cliff has been posting recently about some Orang Pendek casting. http://cliffbarackman.com/research/orang-pendek-project/ He cites Adam Davies here: http://cliffbarackman.com/research/orang-pendek-project/about-the-orang-pendek/ More about Adam Davies here...

A report on CNN. Actually kind of humorous in that it is such serious reporting. No skeptics or both sides of the story here. Reporter gives Bigfoot (and "Bigfeet") facts as credible as ever. The guy claims his brother talked to them. He "whooped for 5 minutes" and the Bigfoot whooped...

Oxford Professor of Human Genetics, Brian Sykes, has analysed purported Yeti hair from either end of the Himalayas and reported a 100% match with an ancient polar bear jawbone from Norway. This means that an unknown species or sub-species of bear is still wandering around in the Himalayas, which...
