I am a field researcher for the E.T. Chapter of the BFRO and would like to track down hot spots ( sighting or habitats) primarily in E. Tennessee. Spare me the jokes as I have heard them all - but if you are aware of a recent sighting or a "busy" location please let me know.
Thanks,
What is happening in that particular situation in your opinion?I have seen pictures where all the background and surrounding trees, branches, and minute detail are crystal clear. The forest people or sasquatch are blurry. I know what is occurring - hint - it isn't photoshop, or some other manipulation of the picture.
In his instance it's a grown ass man in denial. It's funny how these "myth" experts know so much about something they never see, observe, or have captured.
As I said I Am NOT a believer but I will certainly welcome research and I try to be open minded
Nothing remotely closed minded about skepticism. The (current) fact remains that the number and scope of reported sign/sightings is wholly, wildly disproportionate to any scientific evidence that withstands real scrutiny. By this I mean, if even half the reported sightings are legit, we should probably worry about mowing our lawns for fear of hitting a squatch vs no, as in literally none whatsoever, scientifically vetted evidence Bigfoot exists at all. The chasm between belief and legitimate (peer reviewed scientific) evidence is quite vast.
I think it would make the world a much more interesting place if the whole Bigfoot/Forest People thing were true...doesn't change the above though.
Wouldn't it be great if I could ask Jesus to send me a selfie or if I could spend a weekend vacationing in Heaven, take a good video camera with me and post it here - so that those who haven't seen it could be satisfied that it really does exist. What is irrefutable is that you have thousands of witnesses; ministers, police officers, game wardens, public officials - etc. etc. who have seen something. They in some instances have been chased out of the woods and include 6'5" 260 lb. well armed lifelong hunters who have vowed never to return to the woods.
I think since the human population has more than doubled in my lifetime and the forest people population habitat has diminished the two populations are going to continue to come in contact with one another more frequently. There are legitimate reasons why I research - and the more I delve into this the more it calls out for more research.
I am very well networked in this research and other researchers include a doctor in Washington state, a lawyer in Texas, Dr. Ketchum, Dr. Meldrum, and multiple Native American friends who have multigenerational experiences with the forest people. As I have mentioned my goal is not to steer anyone in any direction here - but rather to simple find recent sightings in East Tennessee and/or habitats in this area. I no longer need to be convinced. I would prefer not to spend my time trying to convince others.
There is another thread about ghosts - of which I am neither pro or con although my wife saw the ghost of a little girl in the last house we lived in. So with ghosts I would not confidently weigh in on either their existence or their non - existence, so I find it surprising that so many "experts" who have not done any research, can immediately dismiss the forest people's existence.

Where do y'all generally believe that their evolution splintered from that of homo sapiens? Is their evolution expected to be more from the neanderthal or some other human group?

With respect the first observation is that nothing you cite here even remotely addresses what I stated in my post. There is an undeniably vast chasm between the huge amount of anecdotal evidence vs literally ANY scientifically validated evidence of Bigfoot.
I'm not sure what the name dropping is supposed to accomplish. This is especially true if the Dr Ketchum you're citing is Melba Ketchum. I'd actually try to avoid using her to corroborate my beliefs. (but that's your call obviously)
I'm not trying to convince you of anything either (the post of mine you cite wasn't even directed at you) unless it's that, for the rest of us, the concerns as to how and why we've gotten this far with such an enormous inverse relationship between anecdotal evidence and real evidence are valid. As I type this I'm not aware of literally anything scientifically validated confirming, or even strongly supporting, the existence of Bigfoot. That the darn things are supposedly darn near everywhere (including people's backyards munching blueberry bagels I believe it's said) and we've still got zip, zilch, nada to show for it in regards to scientifically vetted evidence...well, it makes skepticism pretty easy to come by.
I've said it before and I'll say it again...I HOPE you're right as it'd make the world more interesting.
