Well, im a bit skeptical. By that i mean these guys are full of it.

There's always a chance it's real, but by now it's a case of the boy who cried wolf...

There's a part of my mind that's always open to these kinds of things, but I've never 100% believed them.

It's just a monkey.

Bigfoots, Sasquatch, The Snowman(the Himalaya one) or Yeti's doesnt exist.
Well, there is one Yeti that exist.
Codex.
But thats another case.

He looks a bit like a Troll in oblivion...Except brown.

I thought he looks kinda like one of those animatronic things like in chucke cheeze.

How many times is Bigfoot going to be discovered? Am i the only onw who won't be all that interested if someone actually does find it?

I say it is just a costume stuffed with meat or something, they won't disclose the location, convient.

I hope its real just because it would be a great scientific discovery...

Not to thread jack this but just recently people say(texas) they found a chupacabra, the goat eater, they have it on video, though I'm still not convinced.

Well its still on the topic of strange creatures so I guess its not that far off topic..

I think the chupacabra is just some mutant dog thingie..people say they've found bodies and heads and stuff, but I'm not sure if they're real.
My Theory: The government is running experiments with Genetics and then letting them loose to see how they do in the wild then recapturing them after awhile.

I'm crazy, I know.

My (slightly more believable) Theory: People want to be the person to discover stuff like bigfoot, so they see a big monkey and assume it's a sasquatch.

more reasonable theory:
Bigfoot was a guy with wolf-something idk its a disease where theyre completely covered in hair, and his family died, and hes been living out in the woods ever since.


seems legit.

You make me laugh.
So, Bigfoot is a Guy/Wolf hybrid?

Well, cryptids (like Bigfoot, Lochness monster, etc.) aren't exactly bunk.
There are plenty of cases where undiscovered animals or even animals thought to be extinct for thousands or millions of years, have been found alive and well.

Examples: The colossal squid, the ceolocanth, and the Vietnamese deer (can't remember the exact species name), are examples of one-time cryptids, that are now scientifically accepted and proven (i.e. living specimens found).

However, the infamous Patterson footage (the Bigfoot tape that always comes to mind) is an admitted fraud...but, there have been unidentified hominid/ape hairs found, footprint casts, nesting grounds, etc. found that don't belong to known primates...so the case is still open on Bigfoot really...until those hairs can be matched.

By the way, any Jersey Devil fans (another cryptid), should research on the Hammerhead Bat, and compare it to drawings of the Jersey Devil. I think you'll find an uncanny resemblance.....

I think hes referring to Lycanthropy.........

I'm sorry, what?

Ohhhh i know what you mean. Ive seen a dude with it on tv. Its like they have a full body beard. He even had a daughter with the same condition.

yeah, you know what im talking about, its intense dude. it blows everyones feeble mind. unless you have an illusion skill of 100.

I am indeed a master of illusion. However i think the disease we speak of is called atavism.

Sadly, my legs are nearly that hairy. Just not that dark.

Hmm, I saw a thing on teh discovery channer where teh guy was covered in nothing but hair, the only skin you could see was his lips.

and they said it was like wolf then some bull---oney.

Whatever the disease is, I still don't think that's the cause...



Most Reasonable yet


It's an evolved primate, a chimp or something that has evolved.

if it had evolved, there would be more, and that is possible, and it also might not be possible, because if there was one evolving, then every monkey in his location would have evolved, making a LOT of bigfoots,
and it takes genrations and generations to evolve, it doesnt just happen after a bad acid trip.

I doubt it. For one, there arnt monkeys in georgia. Two, not all primates evolve. Three, psilocybin not acid.

None of those apply to this case. These guys are just looking for attention or something. Theyve tried faking bigfoot in the past.

I thought that Bigfoot's supposed habitat was from the Pacific North West down to Texas. Now my US geography might be a little rusty but isn't Georgia on the other side of the country?

And though I highly doubt these guys have killed a Bigfoot, I think that however unlikely it is for Bigfoot/Sasquatch/Yetis/Yowies/whatever to exist it is still possible for large animals to exist in the wild unknown.

An example is the Blue Mountains panther which is said to live near where I lived as a young child.

a 2004 report by New South Wales Department of Agriculture investigator Bill Atkinson, the department's rural NSW-based Agricultural Protection Officer, concluded: "Nothing found in this review conclusively proves the presence of free-ranging exotic large cats in New South Wales, but this cannot be discounted and seems more likely than not on the available evidence."

And remember that Australia has no known native large cats and these things have been sighted since the 1800's.

All I'm saying is that it's possible for these things to exist.

It is (that's where I live).
