Bigfoot/Sasquatch/Forest People in Tennessee

[LouderVol]

I have to run a business and don't quite have time to post links - but their dna has been successfully sequenced, I believe around 112 samples of hair, bone, teeth, skin, etc. submitted for the DNA study - thousands upon thousands of eye witness accounts including by the military, ministers, police officers, etc, thousands of footprints with accompanying casting and ridge analysis such as FBI fingerprinting. One gets shot and killed every few years, lots of unexplained giant bones, etc. etc. I am going out this afternoon to investigate two giant X's where something has broken trees at the midsection to form the X's. A couple of miles from no where. If I have time tomorrow I will try to post a picture.

I am going to point something out here, but wanted to say first, I kinda want to believe you but show me proof. Those X's happen all the time, I have seen trees break like that in person, straight line winds hit them and snap'em they fall towards each other and hang themselves up. Again I have seen it happen in person and see this a lot of times after big storms, even in the burbs. The time I saw it happen it was only a pair that was hit, but after some storms I have seen it happen to dozens within proximity to each other. Especially in the mountains the winds do weird ****. Also unless these are small trees, breaking it at midsection would be something beyond the realm of possibility for a man sized (even 8ft) creature. First you have to get up there, then actually break it (assuming these trees out in the middle of nowhere are/were full grown trees +40ft tall foot and a foot and a half thick the same size as most trees in the wilderness), in conjunction with its twin (at the same time and squatchs are reported to be solitary) and guide them towards each other as they fell. Certainly not impossible but it requires tools, tools would leave evidence, and I would love to see that evidence.

also on the A&M researchers name being Ketchum, pretty sure that was the kids last name from Pokemon.

Years ago AGFC told me that bears were not in the area I lived at. ( called in because I saw one) they even came out and inspected.

Six months later they tranquilized one out of my brothers tree ( he lived 3 miles away in town)


Later they told me mtn lions didn't exist in the state of arkansas. A woman in greenwood (4 miles from me) almost hit one with her car. But no physical evidence. Last year however, folks kept losing cattle. Finding the dead remains in trees. Well they ended up tranquilizing it too. ( a big mtn lion)

The problem with these types of observations is we absolutely know there is such a thing as mt lions and bears. Talking about what is considered the range of a given animal is, and I think you'd agree, a different question than being able to definitively establish if a creature exists at all.

The Easter bunny scares me more. Rabbits do exist but no one has seen a walking talking one. We need LG on this.

Bugs Bunny?

Also, the bear and lion were tranquilized, Bigfoot hasnt been.

They aren't as smart.

My point was, just because some say it isn't there, doesn't mean it's not possible.

I personally think its a little arrogant to think this way. Hell we can't even cure the common cold. We find new species of critters every day.

I reckon it is a bit arrogant, but probably no more arrogant than a feller thinking he is going to find such a clever critter after so many others failed.

8' hairy ones that weight approx 500 lbs and dont' live in the ocean?

I'll say it again. For as long as bigfoot sightings have been around (hundreds of years dating back to Native Indians) and considering that other than a hunter with a rifle or MAYBE the occasional bear, it would have no predators! You would think that the species would have bred itself to a level by now where it's population would be high enough to be easily discovered. Makes no sense for a top of the food chain species to go this long without breeding itself into noticeability.

And the number of sightings have increased considerably since then. Have they not?

I know two people who have seen them. I know of a forum, that people disclose their accounts. Pictures. Videos. Etc.

The numbers are increasing. You are not going to find them on your local hiking trail.

Do you deer hunt?

Lions are very elusive and are rarely seen by people. If you spend a lot of time hiking or camping out where I live, odds are you are being watched or stalked by a lion. They are fierce, deadly, stealthy killing machines. Most victims don't even see then coming.

Thing about curing the common cold, it isn't one disease/illness. There are thousands of illnesses that exhibit the same symptoms, that vary just ever so slightly from the others. So even if you cured one it wouldn't mean jack for the rest. Complete opposite of how finding one (living breathing or a freaking body intact) whatever proves its existence. And most of the time when we discover new species its completely by accident. Walking around the woods turn a corner and wahlah something that looks different from other creatures. Also with those new found species 99% of the time on land when they are found we already know about the new species genetic cousins. a little different in the case of big foot.

Again I want to believe. I am willing to believe almost anything if you can prove it, I am willing to believe that there are peopleesque/apesque creatures out there in the world. But give me something to get my teeth into. seriously I would think with all the sightings some redneck would have shot one by now and told the world.

Maybe they don't breed often. When you start talking creatures that "may or may not " exist, I don't think the usual you would think response is relevant .

My only guess, if they were to be real, would be that they are either underground or have some sort of cloak feature.

Eye witness accounts are all well and good. But out of the hundreds of witnesses who have claimed to see them, not one person has been able to provide DEFINITIVE evidence of their existence and most of them are dismissed as either being hoaxes or mistaken identity. Every picture is blurry. Every video is shaky. Not one body found. Not a single one shot and killed by hunters. It just doesn't add up Obsessed. Like I said, they stopped allowing deer hunting in my area nearly 10 years ago and already you practically have to step over them to avoid them now. You're telling me after hundreds of years of existence with no known predators, a species wouldn't have bred itself to a high enough population to be easily discovered? Come on!

I've already answered that above. You choose to ignore it.

My deer hunting question was for obvious reasons. If you are in your deer stand, I come walking up on you after I've ridden my atv so far, would you not hear me coming? If so, would you no vacate? ( not you personally-but if you were a critter)

Their sense of smell? I would suspect that if they exist they have a more enhanced sense of smell over you and I.

I'm not just ready to rule them out.

AboveTopSecret forum: Cryptozoology, page 1

This goes to the crypto forum. But this forum as a whole is massive. Everything from aliens to philosophy. Jesus to vampires.

I read there when I can't sleep. Lol.

They have their own believers and debunkers as well. They also have some very educated folks as well

I didn't choose to ignore it. You are suggesting that their population is in fact increasing due to all of the eye witness accounts. I'm simply saying that isn't evidence. My point was that their numbers should now be at a high enough level where the question of their existence shouldn't even be an issue. Forget pictures or eye witness accounts. We should have them in zoo's by now. This isn't some deep ocean species or some microscopic organism residing on an undiscovered island somewhere.

I've no interest in claiming what isn't possible. In truth that would be a bit arrogant. No, it's the simple and harsh reality that I've yet to see literally ANY peer reviewed/scientifically vetted evidence that corroborates the existence of a giant apelike hominid roaming the US. In fact, if anything, that such a beast is purported to be (and has long been) distributed across the whole of North America, apparently most anywhere there are more than a dozen trees found proximate to each other, only makes it seem more unlikely. So they're everywhere, have (and presumably for a long time) no predators of note, and we can't turn up (even in any relevant fossil records that I'm aware of) ANYTHING that definitively supports their existence.

Impossible? Not at all. But man does the dearth of definitive evidence loom large considering the abundance of lesser evidence.
