What does everyone on the Hype think? Skeptics are welcome to join the fray obviously. Please, no personal attacks or any spamming, I really would like to know what everyone thinks about Sasquatch.

Oh, and if anyone does in fact find the old thread for Bigfoot, then feel free to merge this post with that thread and close this.

The famous Patterson film frame.

I think the film is fake. He's swinging his arms too much for a primate. I do believe that the Sasquatch(Bigfoot) is real though. Same goes for the yeti:

Yeah I was watching the national geographic channel on those myths

Truthteller?

Truthteller? Who's Truthteller?

The animated gif is a frame from the Patterson/Gimlin film.

@SH- Do you have a pic or an animation of a primates arm movement? When you're speaking of a primate, are you speaking of a gorilla or any known ape?

Yeah I think I mightve seen that movie too. I'm not sure if it was bigfoot or a gorilla though.

Has anyone saw the Jank Links commercial "messing with Sasquath"? It's the best commercial ever IMO.

I'm skeptical...if for no other reason, why has there been absolutely no bones or other physical evidence (save some foot prints) to support their exisitance.

I'll answer this one.

Believe it or not, searching for Bigfoot doesn't seem to be a lot of peoples top priorities. As far as I know, no scientific university or lab has really put forth any effort as to prove their existence. Now there have been some foot prints, scat, hair, dermal ridges, and a lot of voice audio recordings, other than that then you're correct when there's no bones or physical remains.

However, as I said, several scientists don't put forth any effort into finding out whether or not they're real. Personally, I believe they're out there, especially when you have thousands of reports ranging from the NW to the NE.

Not every report is true(obviously), yet not everyone can be lying and going insane either.

If Bigfoot has a long life span then it explains why no bones or physical remains have been found.

That was the best one, only the outcome would probably be a bit more uglier and violent.

Big Foot (Sasquatch/Abominable Snowman) - possibly just because sightings are in a lot of different countries, or possibly someone mistook a bear for a man.

Nessie - possibly, but probably just otters at play

Mothman - never heard of him, so I don't know what kind of proof they have for it's existence.

El Chupacabra - possibly, but probably just packs of wild dogs causing trouble

If Bigfoot has a long life span then it explains why no bones or physical remains have been found.

Another possiblity... Bigfeet may either bury each other so deep the remains are never found or they may eat the remains, even grinding up the bones.

Truthteller? Who's Truthteller?

You don't come here too often do you?

 

[Da Docta]

No, he needs to be more circumspect.

 

[Truthteller]

Hmmmmmmmm... Yes.

Yes. He does.

 

[Da Docta]

I think you know what to do.

 

[LastSunrise1981]

You don't come here too often do you?

I had seen you on here before. I just didn't know he was talking about you.

 

[LastSunrise1981]

So yesterday I was watching "In Search Of" and apparently in the state of Wisconsin, they have their own mythical creature in a way. It's called, "The Beast of Bray Road", and it's assumed/believed to be a hybrid wolf of some kind.

Basically like a Lycan from Underworld. Of course, it could be a hoax or an urban legend of some kind, however, it's a pretty interesting story and some of them sound pretty credible.

I figured that I'd share this story or this new finding with my fellow Hypsters.

Oh, and here's a link for the stories too. But first, here's an artist rendering of what the creature is said to look like.

And here are the URL's:

*Bump*

I found some new videos regarding Bigfoot, of course the photo evidence provided is inconclusive and doesn't provide any real hard truth.

But the guy sounds pretty credible and the vocalization they captured pretty much seems to fit how female Bigfoots sound.

Few talk about the fact that if you believe in the veracity of the Bible, you believe in quite a few fantastic creatures...


Isaiah

13:21 But wild beasts of the desert shall lie there; and their houses shall be full of doleful creatures; and owls shall dwell there, and satyrs shall dance there.

13:22 And the wild beasts of the islands shall cry in their desolate houses, and dragons in their pleasant palaces.

11:8 And the sucking child shall play on the hole of the asp, and the weaned child shall put his hand on the cockatrice' den.

14:29 Rejoice not thou, whole Palestina, because the rod of him that smote thee is broken: for out of the serpent's root shall come forth a cockatrice, and his fruit shall be a fiery flying serpent.

30:6 The burden of the beasts of the south: into the land of trouble and anguish, from whence come the young and old lion, the viper and fiery flying serpent,

34:7 And the unicorns shall come down with them, and the bullocks with the bulls; and their land shall be soaked with blood, and their dust made fat with fatness.

51:9 Awake, awake, put on strength, O arm of the LORD; awake, as in the ancient days, in the generations of old. Art thou not it that hath cut Rahab, and wounded the dragon?
(In Jewish folklore, Rahab is the name of a sea-demon, a dragon of the waters, the "ruler of the sea". Rahab is or was the angel of insolence and pride, responsible for shaking the waters and producing big waves; he is also responsible for the roaring of the sea.)

59:5 They hatch cockatrice' eggs, and weave the spider's web: he that eateth of their eggs dieth, and that which is crushed breaketh out into a viper.

Leviticus

11:6 And the hare, because he cheweth the cud , but divideth not the hoof; he is unclean unto you. (I believe the cud-chewing hares must've gone extinct.)

11:22 Even these of them ye may eat; the locust after his kind, and the bald locust after his kind, and the beetle after his kind, and the grasshopper after his kind.
11:23 But all other flying creeping things, which have four feet, shall be an abomination unto you.

Genesis

6:4 There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown.

Deuteronomy

3:11 For only Og king of Bashan remained of the remnant of giants; behold his bedstead was a bedstead of iron; is it not in Rabbath of the children of Ammon? nine cubits was the length thereof, and four cubits the breadth of it, after the cubit of a man.

1Samuel

Goliath was ten feet tall ("six cubits and a span"). 17:4

Revelations

9:7 The shapes of the locusts were like horses prepared for war. On their heads were something like golden crowns, and their faces were like people's faces.

9:8 They had hair like women's hair, and their teeth were like those of lions.

9:9 They had breastplates, like breastplates of iron. The sound of their wings was like the sound of chariots, or of many horses rushing to war.

9:10 They have tails like those of scorpions, and stings. In their tails they have power to harm men for five months.


WOW!

 

[Silverstein]

Are you kidding? Most of those are metaphors or analogies.

lol it's like that old looney toons cartoon where the guy from the 1940's or so dies...And he brings with him his dialect and slang from the time. So he tells Peter at the gates what happened. And so Peter is imagining all this fantastic stuff from what the guy says.

Guy: So I says to her "what? Cat got your tongue?"
St. Peter: *Sees a creepy cat holding a women's tongue*

So the bible says something about dragons and you take it literally to mean actual dragons instead of the idea that it's supposed to represent. I wasn't being sarcastic above. I seriously don't know if you're kidding or not.
