Bigfoot in your neck of the woods? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

snowcreature23 · 05-12-2009, 12:51 AM

often said that bigfoot is seen everywhere in the US except Hawaii. Interestingly enough, I've just recently come across some references to large, hairy manlike creatures in Hawaii. The references appear to be old, mostly legendary, and there are not many of them. But, as in Australia and other islands, there are two types of hairy folk, the very large, and the small. The very large are called Nawao, or Aikanaka, while the small ones are called Menehune.

There's even a book-length website that details one lady's interaction with something in the woods on a Hawaiian island, which leads her on a quest to other places, even Australia, though I must warn you, this is a full on paranormal stuff, with psychic, shape-shifting, vanishing bigfoot who can even read and write in English. I haven't read very much of the material over there yet -- let me know if you find something really interesting. I have to confess I have a hard time entertaining the thought that the website is dealing in real events.

Reading what I have of it reminded me very much of reading My Brother is a Hairy Man. It goes much beyond the Native American hypothesis, claiming bigfoot has healing powers and is interested in having a beneficial relationship with the human race. There are even references to "star people." This is the channeled bigfoot, which comes not from myth, but from certain individuals who practice channeling. It is interesting to me how similar the accounts are from these folk too. But I very much doubt that they are experiencing the same thing as most people are when they encounter bigfoot. I don't know what is really going on with them, but I suspect there is more than a little cross-polonization from one channeler to another.

This really seems to be the farthest edge of bigfoot crackpottery, making the ordinary "high strangeness" bigfoot account seem quite mild by comparison. We should note that Joan Ocean charges folks money to spend time with her so that she can tell them about dolphin and sasquatch wisdom, $995 for four hours on a boat for instance, or $2995 per person for a seven day, six night seminar. The motive seems clear for fabrication.

Bigfoot in Hawaii? Has anyone got any other accounts of such a thing?
HAS any body ever seen a BIGFOOT? Or do u have a bigfoot creature in your neck of the woods? There's alot of strange creatures running around in the woods somewhere, in Alaska we call them Bigfoot. Or mabe there just large bears..

Isn't it funny that people without camera's seem to see Bigfoot and people with camera's rarely get a picture of the big guy. Here in AZ people have seen and heard Bigfoot in the mountain area's of the state.

Growing up in the Pacific Northwest(Washington) during the 70's, bigfoot was everywhere, I remember there was always one of those bigfoot documentaries playing on TV.
There's a town in Washington, where it is illegal to kill a bigfoot.
A few years after I graduated from high school I ran into a girl I went to school with, her dad was a science teacher in Junior High, I asked her if he was still teaching, she said he quit teaching to dedicate his time to track bigfoot.

I'm a sucker for Bigfoot movies, from films like The Legend of Boggy Creek, to the ultra-gory 80's bigfoot movie- Night of the Demon.

Too true. There's a so-called 70's documentary titled 'The Legend of Bigfoot', whenever they show shots of nature, animals, etc everything is perfectly still, perfect focus, but when it's the supposed shot of bigfoot- everything is blurry, camera won't stay still....

Bigfoot is a big tourist draw here in British Columbia where is usually referred to as Sasquatch.

Here in New Mexico there have been reports of Bigfoot creature in the northern part of the state. But the reports have only been happening in the past couple of years.
