I remember seeing two Bigfoot cases on this show. The first involved some guy who said he spotted Bigfoot in the woods and then Bigfoot chased after him. The other was the "Skunk ape" segment.


However, I have been told about another Bigfoot case the show did. It involved a bunch of bigfoots invading a town or something. The segment might have also included a show of some people walking through a jungle or forest and seeing a large hairy beast moving toward them. Also I think a house screen door was smashed and hair found.

Bigfoots running amok in a town? That sounds ****ing awesome. Can someone give me more info on this.

Of course, my memory has been a little fuzzy lately.

I totally agree that it would be amazing !!!! i would visit it hahaha i love big foot stories.
Have you ever watched the program finding bigfoot? where they find apps nothing!

However I do believe in bigfoot ! ... most footage is fake but i do believe some eye witnesses.

I think some of what you're talking about was actually part of the first show you mentioned. It's on the Strange Legends DVD.

- It did show the scene you mention. A bigfoot rolls down a hill, near a man. The bigfoot gets up and starts chasing him.
- It showed a guy in the army with binoculars who allegedly saw 3 large black figures with the tallest one being 8-9 feet.
- It had 2 women in a car and a large creature allegedly crosses the road right in front of them.

I also recall the episode you mention of the screen door being damaged, but it wasn't in this episode.

Skunk Ape is a Bigfoot-type creature that is supposedly living in the Florida area. It's dubbed "Skunk Ape" because of the odor it gives off.

That was the first Bigfoot case they did. It was around Pikes Peak in Colorado.

All of these years of "sightings" and yet there's still no scientific proof nor any concrete evidence of this creatures existence. No remains, bone fragments, etc. And after all of these years, why hasn't a bigfoot ever wandered into a populated area and exposed himself to more than a handful of witnesses? The whole thing is bogus, IMO. Now I don't think the people who claim to have seen a bigfoot like creature are lying (although some of them might be), I just believe they are mistaken.

The bigfoots (bigfeet?) taking over a town sounds like something from a more fiction based show. Some of the stuff Unsolved Mysteries showed was obviously fake, but even they had limits on what they would broadcast I am sure.

Or, something that would be even more shocking, a Bigfoot in a bear costume?! :eek2:

Pandas have a very very limited geographical range and were in an obscure (to the West) area of the world.

Bigfoot (feet?) are said to live all across the most advanced county on Earth in an age where everyone carries cameras and most hunters use trail cams every single year and yet remains to be found.

The above poster is correct. This story took place in Pikes Peak, Colorado. One eyewitness saw a bigfoot (or two) in the road while they were driving. Another heard mysterious noises one night and the next morning some screening on their back porch was torn up.

I am a Bigfoot skeptic but I find the phenomenon fascinating.

Large, hairy wild men seem to be ubiquitous across cultures and I think it speaks to something very deep and primeval to us possibly on a subconscious level.

As an organism I do not think they exist. I cannot prove a negative but the underwhelming evidence on display leads me to believe that they do not. I feel surely one would have been shot/run over by now in North America. Many of the locations that are said to harbor bigfoot do not have an ecosystem that could support a large primate (I am an ecology major) though I do admit that the PNW is a better area than most.

How many seasons of Finding Bigfoot not finding anything before it's finally taken off the air? Or Ghost Hunting for that matter?

Back when we had pay tv, my son and I watched that show for laffs because we don't believe in bigfoot (but we do believe in Nessy.... weird, huh?) and those people are so funny to watch.

I thought it was hilarious that they supposedly knew what a bigfoot sounded like and they'd copy the bigfoot call.

Something in an episode that seemed particularly strange to me was when they were in Canada and doing some ancient ritual or whatever with the tribal leader. They all sat around in a circle and took turns waving smoke in their own faces because somehow or other this was a technique known to draw in the bigfoots.

I noticed that the fire included quite a few cigarette butts. If anything is going to drive a wild animal AWAY from a human, it's going to be human scents like natural body odors, perfume, cigarette smoke, etc. Or maybe bigfoot has a nicotine habit we don't know about....

I may be incorrect but I believe that it was the known that many native tribes would pray and smoke. The smoke was said to lift their prayers to heaven. Tobacco was a religious item with many tribes.

One saving grace that sets bigfoot apart from stories like ghosts is that it is 100% falsifiable. It can actually be proven. I don't know how ghosts could possibly be "proven".

When it comes too woo (psyhics, ghosts, bigfoot, lake monsters, UFOs) I am pretty skeptical. The 6 year old boy in me wishes there were big hairy ape men in the PNW and monsters in the lake but not one shred of proof has surfaced.

Taken as a whole I certainly don't mind those segments. I find the stories interesting. But a bone or not-fuzzy photo would be all the more interesting.

Yep, I've read about that.

The difference with the Finding Bigfoot crew was that they were sort of bathing in smoke before going out to try to see a bigfoot up close. They didn't show anyone actually smoking a cigarette, that I recall, there were just butts in the smoldering stuff they were using to get the smoke scent onto their bodies.

If they were using this as a good luck ceremony, they needed to get the smoke scent off their clothes, out of their hair, etc, before they went out looking for bigfoot.

IMO, prayers or no prayers, a bunch of caterwauling humans in the wild, smelling strongly of cigarette smoke, is going to ensure that that animals keep far away from them.

This was the Colorado bigfoot segment, it's actually the first bigfoot segment UM did with Robert Stack as host. Airdate was the February 15, 1989 episode. The segment was mostly focused on this town that saw a family of creatures assumed to be bigfoots, and it featured a father and his son and their personal sightings.

For some reason, this segment was left off the Strange Legends DVD.

As if the random screaming in the woods wouldn't be enough to scare away the most elusive 8 foot tall ape man ever...

My grandfather's hunting stories from successful hunts usually started "...and I had just put out a cigarette..." but yeah, taken along with the film crew, lights, noise... tobacco smoke is not likely to be conducive to finding anything.

A couple years ago, my husband unintentionally sort of successfully hoaxed a bigfoot sighting. He has a reputation as a bit of a prankster, but then he usually gets distracted with work or something else before he can tell everyone he was just joking and that drives all of us prank victims crazy! lol

During lunch time where he worked, he would usually go for a walk around the building's property that included some woods. Sometimes people would see deer on the property. The complex was right next to the expressway.

While out on one of his walks, he saw a huge footprint in the damp dirt that couldn't have been made by a deer. It didn't look like a dog or coyote footprint either. He took a picture of it with his cell phone, showed everyone at work, showed the family, etc.

Several people at his work believed it was real. My son and I kept pointing out things in the picture that made us skeptical. After a couple days, we forgot about the whole thing.

A few months later, gossip was getting around that there had been a bigfoot sighting in the city where hubby worked. That reminded me of the photo he'd taken so I asked him about it. He said, "Oh yeah, I made that myself." He had actually used his own foot to make an exaggerated print. Because of recent rain, the ground was very soft that day and it would be easy to make the print, and he just decided to do it on a lark.

Then he forgot all about it. As usual, other things demanded his attention and he had once again forgotten to tell us it was a joke.

Need to quote Mitch Hedberg again....

I think Bigfoot is blurry, that's the problem. It's not the photographer's
fault. Bigfoot is blurry, and that's extra scary to me. There's a large,
out-of-focus monster roaming the countryside. Run, he's fuzzy,
get out of here.

Mitch is (was) the man.

The first sets of prints that began the whole kerfuffle in N California was proven to be a hoax IIRC. Prints can be faked. Interesting but a long way off from proof.

Matt Moneymaker may have a cool name but corpse or STFU.

Think of the alternative. For over 100 years you just have people dressed up that have been hiding out in the woods waiting for chances for people to walk by and say "boo" the entire time. I do think it's strange that a body has never been found or remains have never been recovered, but at the same time I think with the amount of eyewitness accounts and unusual personal experiences, that it can't be dismissed as just a hoax unequivocally.

Sure it can. Most sightings/encounters happen with people who are self described "aficionados" of either aliens or bigfoot. They go out seeking these beings and just so happen to find them. It's all bunk. Isn't it the least bit odd that you never have a church group/boy scout troop/family reunion/family of 4, etc. out on a camping trip who saw a UFO/sasquatch (and actually recorded it)? There are a myriad of possibilities of groups that could have encountered these "beings" who in no way, shape, or form have ever held an active interest in the supernatural. The lack of these instances should be alarming to everyone who believes in these beings.

Eyewitness accounts can be some of the most unreliable forms of evidence you can imagine.

I think it is much more likely that people are mistaken, embellishing, profiting, or even outright lying than the notion that there is an 8 foot tall hairy ape roaming in just about every state in the United States and no one has ever run one over (except for the Hendersons), no hunter has ever shot one, no bones have ever been found, no compelling fossil evidence in North America has turned up, no compelling DNA samples have emerged, no seriously compelling trail cam or video footage has come forth, nothing.

The closest thing would be the Paterson-Gimlin film. If it's a real organism it's population has nearly supernatural powers to stay hidden. If it's a hoax (which I believe it is) it is masterfully done.

But damn, it would be cool if there were bigfoot roaming around stealing pigs and screaming at night. But reality and stuff...

I don't really think it's a case where someone is dressing up in a costume hanging out in the remote wilderness waiting for a random hiker to cross his path so he can make them believe they've seen a bigfoot.

I think it's a couple of guys packing up a bigfoot costume and a camera, heading out to the woods, filming the bigfoot sighting, then shopping out their pics/footage to the public for fame, money, the thrill of perpetuating a hoax.

Remember these guys from a couple years ago? They bought the bigfoot costume from thehorrordome website and faked the whole thing.

Yeah, they say that if "bigfoot" actually existed, it would be sighted much, much more often than it is, given its apparent range and the breeding population necessary to sustain it.

So people have been hiding in the woods for indefinite amounts of times and saying "boo" to people for no apparent reason?

And a lot of people that have sighted UFO's or Bigfoot are people that have had no interest at all in such things. So how does that make sense? And where did you get the notion/information that people that have had these experiences have already had a keen interest in the subject matter. How in the world did you categorize that? You can't.

All scientific evidence presented to date clearly discredits the theory of any "Bigfoot" type creature roaming forests in the United States, as explained by PKB on this forum. Although the issues differ substantially, IMO it's like denying climate science.

Your opinion about its existence is intriguing but not supported by verifiable proof. I'll end with a summarized quote on Bigfoot which explains the vast majority of sightings.

"Most scientists discount the existence of Bigfoot and consider it to be a combination of folklore, misidentification, and hoax, rather than a living animal, because of the lack of physical evidence and the large numbers of creatures that would be necessary to maintain a breeding population"

PKB

I don't think you'd be able to find any bigfoot skeptic that would go out and say that every sighting is a case of someone hoaxing someone else. I believe at the very least that some people really believe they witnessed a large unknown primate in North America.

For the sake of argument and let's leave out outright hoaxing and pretend that every single report is given in earnest and truthful to the best of knowledge of the observer. Let's apply occam's razor for a minute:

Hypothesis A: People are misindentifying or misunderstanding another animal.
Hypothesis B: A large, in fact the largest known, primate which has left no fossil record, exists in nearly every state in nearly every climate and imaginable habitat, has not been run over/shot, has not left remains to be found.

What evidence do you find compelling?

Most witnesses don't say "it must have been Bigfoot". In fact, most of them are very afraid to say anything at all for fear of being labeled nuts or drunk, etc. That's not even counting the untold number who never even report because of the same fear.

And many of the witnesses are respected professionals. Doctors, military men, law enforcement officers, people from all walks of life and all cultures report seeing these things. It's really not logical or fair to just dismiss everything as misidentification or hoaxes, etc.

As far as 'real proof', how often does one come across the carcass of a bear, or anything, in the woods, for that matter? Look, I have no idea if this thing exists or not but all these witnesses for centuries seems to point to something more than "it was just a bear" or "some guy in a suit".

You prefer to discount the testimony of hundreds of reliable witnesses, because you seriously think every SINGLE time this is reported it's because someone is lying or hoaxing or can't tell a bear from an ape.

That's quite a 'reality' you got there.

That's pretty much what I prefer to do.

The evidence simply isn't there, period. No matter the career choice or personal reputation of these "reliable" witnesses, the scientific evidence is not there. If that changes, I'm quite prepared to learn new things about the world. But until then, I think we should continue our studies on eyewitness testimony--which hasn't, so far, revealed human beings to be impressively accurate.

People who hunt, etc. routinely come across bear carcasses, bear droppings or bears themselves. I even had a bear cub paw my rations from outside my tent while with the Army in New Brunswick once.

no BF carcass or droppings or anything close has ever been found. (Now there are claims that another creature eats the bones!) And even though everyone has a camera on their phone these days every picture that is presented is grainy or taken from a great distance.

People used to see dragons and mermaids. But now that their existence is considered nonsense, they see big foot creatures instead. Even an agitated horse on a dark stormy night can morph into a big foot if that is what you are expecting. In Dover Mass a few years back people saw a little imp with bright eyes and pointy ears and a tail (the Dover demon). Maybe they just misidentified a big foot!

My favorite Bigfoot silly segment is the one with the guy who was prospecting alone in the woods. Goofy looking dude with a very pronounced lithp.

At one point he says he fires his gun in the air to 'scare the bigfoot away' before the critter starts chasing him through the woods, but the guy 'gets away'. Just by looking at this dude, I think any creature that wanted to catch him would have no trouble, save for maybe a tree sloth.

Fired his gun in the air to scare bigfoot. Pfft. If I had a gun and I was alone in the woods, and a giant hairy man thing showed up, I'd be pointing the gun AT HIM and firing. Ain't nobody got time for giant hairy bipeds in the woods getting all close.

Someone turned me to David Paulides. Bigfoot kidnaps the children in the national parks. I have heard it all. I do find it all interesting.

I overheard guys at work talk about the bigfoot roaming the mountains of Pennsylvania.

Fun stuff.

Ehhh, doesn't hold water. People couldn't tell the difference between a horse that walks exclusively on four legs and an ape that walks on two? Sounds like a convenient "out" for people who just want to 'explain things away'.


please! a dark night with rain squalls at an isolated home. you hear noises see motion from a distance... maybe the horse makes scared horse sounds and even runs across your porch. imaginations run wild... a local scam artist turns it into a movie but even the guy with the most screentime in the movie (who was never given promised payment for being in the movie) thinks the climax was exaggerated...
you can be "closed minded" even if you believe in odd things. there are three people on finding bigfoot who show that every show

ps the very first episode of FB was a fake. set in Georgia it investigated a sighting by a cop and a woman where a big foot crossed the road in front of the police car. the cop was never on the show because he investigated and found out teenagers who lived near the sighting had hoaxed him. the woman was on the show but the hoax was never mentioned.

Finding Bigfoot had several incidents like that in the early shows, where normal animals and such were the cause of sounds and the producers edited the footage to leave this ambiguous.

The cast finally put an end to that crap.

the FB crew referenced that very first episode sighting on tonight's show, even showing the police car's dash cam and then commenting " walks like a typical bigfoot." the sighting was confirmed as a hoax long before the episode aired and the cop refused to appear on the show. Yet they still contend it was real and that a teenager in a monkey suit walks like a typical bigfoot.

also the show implies that the so-called town hall meetings are attended by a cross section of random locals but the producers prescreen the attendees and only invite those with interesting stories.

Even if the whole show was a big put on (which it's not), that has no bearing whatsoever on whether or not Bigfoot exists.
