Bigfoot
Case

History: Bigfoot is a mysterious creature that has been sighted thousands of times throughout the world but specifically located to the Pacific Northwest. Some sightings have occurred in Colorado. In Green Mountain Falls, Colorado, an unknown creature, believed to be a Bigfoot, broke into a cabin and left several hairs behind and footprints near the house. Other sightings of Bigfoot have occurred in the Pacific Northwest. An Army National Guard sergeant named Todd Neiss claimed that in 1993, he saw three bigfoot-type creatures in Oregon. A prospector named Elmer Frombach was in a forest near Seattle, Washington, when a black hairy mass, which he believed was Bigfoot, began chasing him. Elmer was able to barely escape from the creature. However, some skeptics aren't convinced and want to see real proof of a Bigfoot. No one is certain if Bigfoot is real or not, but it is now one of the most famous legends in the world.

Actual Photograph of a Yeti

Case File: Yeti
Location: The Himalayas
Date: 1951
Description: The Yeti or Abominable Snowman is an average sized ape-like humanoid with thick hair over his body.
CaseEdit
History: The Yeti or Abominable Snowman as he is known in the west is one of the most famous cryptozoological animals in the world, seconded by only Bigfoot and Nessie. However to the Sherpas, the Yeti has always been a very real and very alive creature. Since 1951 when the first physical evidence of this animal becan coming out of the Himalayas, several Western explorers have found convincing evidence that the Sherpas may be right. Expeditions into the Himalayas have uncovered mystifying stories of strange human-like creatures who live in the region. In 1951, Eric Shipton, a world-famous mountaineer, came across a curious set of tracks. One footprint was 13 inches long and 8 inches wide. It didn't look like it was made by a man or an ape. Loren Coleman is an expert on cryptozoological animals; he comments that the Shipton footprint is "a very big peice of evidence because it showed toes, individual toes. It showed a squat, square footprint, which a lot of the other expeditions had found." Unfortunately, he adds, Shipton did not have very good photographic equipment with them for better detailed images.

Yeti Footprint

In 1957, a Texas oilman named Tom Slick and explorer Peter Byrne set off for the Arun Valley in northeastern Nepal in search of Yeti. Byrne believed that since the Sherpas knew the Yeti was a real animal that it had to be real. They called him "hairy man" that lived separate from them. Shown 8x10 pictures of a chimpanzee, a gorilla, primitive man and other humanoids, the Sherpas would always point to the primitive man and declare that that was the Yeti. They described the Yeti as being man-like in form, and about 5-foot-6, 5-foot-7, 5-foot-8 and totally covered with hair. The face would be bare of hair, and it walked fully erect. In another part of the valley, Tom Slick and his Sherpa guides discovered a set of tracks in mud, which were unique because they knew melting and shifting anow could alter tracks. They measured 10 inches long and 7 inches wide. According to anthropologist Dr. George Agogino, it was similar to the footprint discovered by Eric Shipton six years earlier. Byrne took another trip to the area in February of 1958 and met a Buddhist monk who knew of a Yeti hand preserved in a nearby temple. It was the size of a human hand, cut off at the wrist. Peter took photos of it since the lama would not allow it to leave the temple; scientists had never seen anything like these before. The next year, Peter Byrne returned to the monastery with a bottle of Scotch for the monk and an outrageous plan to cut a finger off and rplace it with a fake. As he recalled: "It took quite a long time to wire the whole thing together and put it all back together and put it back in the box, and nobody ever knew anything about it. Everything, everybody, actually was perfectly happy. They still had the hand, and it still had its fingers." The finger was brought back to London and sent to Dr. George Agogino who shared it with twenty experts who were about equally divided over whether it was human or whether it was some type of primate known or unknown. Meanwhile, Dr. Agogino put a tissue sample from the bone fragment in an envelope in his desk, and it remained there for more than thirty years. When Unsolved Mysteries learned of the bone fragment in Dr. Agogino's desk drawer, they had the University of California to analyze it. The results were inconclusive, but seemed to indicate that the tissue probably came from a human hand. Dr. Jerry Lowenstein, Professor of Nuclear Medicine analyzed the fragment, but came to realize that any result would still neither confirm or deny the Yeti's existence. Meanwhile, Yeti reports continued. A photographer named Kurt Fritler at a campsite at 16,500 feet in the Himalayas heard a very loud piercing call from the night. He claimed it moved around and circled his campsite, getting closer and farther away from him. Reinhold Messner says he got a good look at the creature from about thirty feet away. He called it "quite hairy and strong with short legs. The body was quite dark, dark brown, black hair, long, long hairs."
Background: None
Investigations: None
Extra Notes: This case originally ran on the February 12, 1992 episode. The Yeti has also been featured on "Sightings," "Destination Truth" and "Monster Quest."
Results: Unresolved. In December of 2011, DNA testing was done on the bone fragment that Peter Byrne took. The tests confirmed that the bone was actually from a human, not from a Yeti. Still, many believe that the Yeti is a real creature.

there's also the david paulides bigfoot theory that missing persons in the forest were abducted killed and eaten by a hungry bigfoot.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Paulides

David Paulides is a writer, researcher, and investigative journalist notable primarily for his authorship on missing people: the subject of mysterious disappearances in national parks. Paulides has drawn significant national attention and has been featured on numerous radio shows as well as television interviews and prime time newscasts.[1]

Authorship
Bigfoot/Sasquatch

Once Paulides retired from high-tech, he pursued the topic of Bigfoot for several years, creating the Bigfoot research group titled, "North America Bigfoot Search", publishing two books, and sponsoring the publishing a white paper on the subject. His two books were so well-documented and researched that many people in the field of cryptozoology have called his books the new standard for crypto-research.[6] Paulides had everyone included in the study sign an affidavit before interviewing them, something no other group in the field practices. This means that the person giving the testimony could be convicted of perjury if they are found to be lying.[7]

Paulides' white paper analyzed one hundred eleven samples of hypothesized Bigfoot DNA evidence and was published in the Journal of Advanced Zoological Exploration in Zoology. The white paper is affiliated with and authored by eleven different scientists from nine different research organizations, including the Texas A&M Department University of Biology, Biochemistry, and Biophysics, the Helix Biological Laboratory in Detroit, the Center for Human Identification at the University of North Texas, and numerous other peer-reviewed research facilities.[8] In an interview with Coast to Coast AM host George Knapp, Paulides stated that the goal of his organization was to prove that the biped exists, and he feels they have done so; as such, he has moved on from the Bigfoot world to newer projects.[citation needed]
Missing 411

Paulides' current project is Missing 411, a series of non-fiction books documenting unsolved cases of disappearing people in national parks. The website for the Missing 411 work is www.canammissing.com. His work on this subject began when he was doing research in a national park when an off-duty park ranger found him and expressed concern about the questionable nature of some of the disappearing persons cases which occur in the parks. The rangers knew Paulides' background and requested that he research into it and see if he could find any leads. Paulides obliged, and since then has uncovered multiple lines of evidence to suggest negligence on behalf of the park service in keeping track of their missing people, and a continuous series of disappearances from all across the U.S., and even other parts of the world, that seem to defy all logical and conventional explanations.[9][10][11][12]

Currently, Paulides has written four books on the topic of missing people who disappear under an odd set of criteria in National Parks and wilderness areas. According to his most recent book, The Devil's in the Detail, his group does not yet have a theory on what is causing the disappearances, although their field of suspects is narrowing. He advises that readers go outside of their normal comfort zone in trying to nail down who or what the culprit is.[13][14]

my own theory is when children go missing from their homes, a paranormal entity abducts them. so its related to David Paulides.


finding bigfoot had 7 some seasons of bigfoot. then there's the $10 million bigfoot bounty. on youtube there are many clips of bigfoot.

the peterson-gimlin film probably could not be faked.

do you think bigfoot is a flesh and blood animal or a paranormal entity? i wonder if it is sending a message, like respect nature. respect the forests. don't cut down or log the forests. bigfoot and yeti come from a time before there were people on earth.


if you have a bigfoot story please tell.

serious answers only please. No trolls. you know who you are.

if you are a troll, instead of trolling, why not just talk about bigfoot and UM episodes re bigfoot/yeti. ever seen the patterson gimlin film?

You really need an option which says I could go either way because I could go either way. There's enough evidence to suggest something is going on, and yet people discover extinct fossils going back millions of years and frozen animals which died over 10,000 years ago and haven't come up with one whole body?

As for bigfoot, I'm pretty sure I went to college with one. Size 15 sneakers. Walked with rounded shoulders. Played a decent guitar though.

I think the message Bigfoot is trying to send is that this thread needs more wrestling gifs.
