Bigfoot/Sasquatch/Forest People in Tennessee

Well I guess I could sit in my parents basement - eating potato chips, playing Assassins Creed and posting on this thread and others 60 times a day - making condescending remarks in all of them - like you do -- So I think it is likely you that doesn't have better things to do - I do.

I guess if you don't have a job - have never spent the night outside of your mom's basement it's easy to be an expert on what happens in the deep forests at night. I defer to your experience and expertise on the subject. Enlighten us.

So to prove how you obviously have better things to do than to just post on this thread and make condescending remarks, you post in this thread and make condescending remarks?

This is why I could never take this thread seriously. FYI- I have a unicorn sightings thread in the end zone for those who have interest.

From the guy who started the topic "Why do farts smell worse in the shower" - I am going to defer to your brilliance and tremendously insightful topics and comments. Clearly this topic can't hold a candle to your normal serious fare.

I can't remember if I asked you this yet or not, but do you believe in the possibility that Big Foots are a demonic force?

That was a serious question with actual evidence to back it up (as farts do smell worse in the shower-fact). You can fall back on the solid existence of Sasquatch by relying on out of focus videos and the Patterson film along with the BFRO reports of something crossed the road but I can't say what it was but it was definitely something type reporting.

And I have stopped with the senseless jokes per your request. It was not right and I have admitted that. I am the one who is in doubt until I see some hard evidence. If that exists.... I may be all in. But until it does, I'm a doubter.
 
I've always found the topic interesting (crypto anything really) and dislike when things get overly vitriolic as it takes some of the fun out of it. Having said that I'm sticking by my skepticism based on my "everywhere yet nowhere" observation. I'm slightly exaggerating but the idea that a major species is hiding behind every tree in NA BESIDES the one that can be scientifically verified is pretty unpalatable to me. We aren't discussing a tube worm at the bottom of the Marianas Trench here.

Great explanation. I would concur.

Fwiw, I tend to find crypto- stuff entertaining but almost never compelling. I see unexplained phenomena generally as unexplained yet. But I would never flat-out say that something doesn't exist. Skepticism is reasonable but dogmatic denial is stupid. By physiological limitations alone our paltry observation and understanding of the universe can never expose more than a sliver of reality.

But I gotta say, I find way more likelihood in the evidential proof of merpeople than of Bigfoot, and I'm sure as hell not holding my breath for Ariel (or even Madison).

I agree with most of this but part of my point was this particular topic isn't based on paltry understandings of the universe. We're talking about a major apex species that can be seen all the time practically everywhere (supposedly anyway) but can't be verified at any scientific level. I find that dichotomy more than a little problematic.

Still, like you I hate saying "impossible". Hell, I LOVE the idea of such a thing being true but I find skepticism pretty justified at this point.

I'm actually with you there. I was really talking about the broader idea of crypto- stuff. But while I think it's foolish to speak in absolutes about such things, I have no expectation that Bigfoot will ever turn up. I think it's conceivable that phenomena could be observed yet undocumented, whether through some weird extra-dimensional access or some aspect of reality we're blind to, but somehow a big, hairy forest-dweller doesn't fit in there.

More generally, though, it's pretty close to the way I view the metaphysical as well. Arguments on either side are necessarily limited to the narrow slice of human perception and grounded in the human experience.
 
Are we still debating this?

I just want to make sure I understand this correctly. Humans can perform manned missions to the moon, unmanned missions to Mars, perform fetal surgery, talk to people thousands of miles away in seconds, BYU can win an NCAA basketball game with 5 white guys, refuel airplanes mid-air at speeds in excess of 300 KIAS, have the entirety of human knowledge in the palm of our hands on a whim, and have increased human life expectancy to levels that would be considered silly by some a thousand years ago .... But no one can capture a decent, unblurred picture of a beast that obviously has to procreate? With all the photographic technology available to us we can't get a single good shot? Not a single hunter has ever put one down?

Off the top of my head:
The martins were there for a Father's Day trip.
(Granddad, dad, and the two boys)

Another family stumbled upon the Martins. Coincidentally their name was Martin as well.

The families visited and decided to let the kids play. The kids played hide and go seek. Dennis hid behind a bush about 50-60 feet from his father. His dad watched him crotch behind the bush.

Once the game was over, all the kids came out except Dennis. (He was hiding there approx a minute)

The father ran down the ridge roughly 2 miles looking for his son. Sent his father down the mountain for help.
They searched for this kid for a long time. Weather made it difficult. The green berets were called in.
Media reported they were already there. They weren't. They set up a base camp and helped looked for the boy, but not in a joint effort with the Park Rangers. They were also armed.

Another family not aware of anything that is going on, asked another park ranger where they could go to see wild life. He told them where to go. The family (Keys) stated that they saw a wild man covered in hair running through the woods with something thrown across his shoulder. They reported it the Rangers and fbi. The fbi dismissed it, stated it was no way that the kid could have been carried that far.
(Later disproved by a park ranger and a investigator)

The father later found out about the report and questioned the fbi and they told the dad it was not possible to have happened. The Keys said it did.

Some have speculated the boy was accidentally kidnapped by people who mistook the boy as the other Martin boy (two families with same last name)


This is just some of it. But you get the idea.
