BigFoot

what is there some kind of bigfoot hunters in the yellow pages? give me a break, man. you see how people just on letsrun reacted to what i saw. why would i go around telling people about it?

maybe some of the confusion about the road is that it kind of goes in a diagonal back south before heading east again. does that help? i have no idea what the name of the road is. i can get you there, but have no idea of the name.

further, i just told you that my buddy bought the house up north. how is he going to justify to his wife shirking his duty at his job as well as moving into their new house to drive 2 hours ONE WAY, jog the 6 miles in, take pictures, jog 6 miles out, then drive home another 2 hours? are you retired or something? normal people can't do that!

man, i'm not here to fight you. i know what i saw. say what you want. i really couldn't care less. cheers.

I am just glad the thread is back :D

There is clearly only one way to go about solving this. Group together in the letsrun mobile and head out to Portland. From there, the group of skinny men (most probably 20 min 5k runners) can head into the woods for a day of running, night of brokeback lovin, and the following day of bigfoot hunting. It is the only sane thing to do!

What do you call more than one bigfoot?

BIGFEET!!!!!!!???

HAhahhahahaahahahahaaha!

Homestar????!

I'm in.

Great place to post your story is the bfro.net (bigfoot field researchers organization). If there is a "legit" site for the weird world of Sasquatch, this is it. It's staffed by Biologists, anthropologists, etc. and not a bunch of self-proclaimed "experts." A few of them claim they aren't even sure of the existence of these creatures but nonetheless, they study it a bit anyway.

I've been intrigued by the story since my sister claimed to have seen one once when we were kids in N. Cali about 20 years ago. I'm not too sure I believe in them myself but I've always subscribed to the logic that somewhere, somehow, out of the thousands and thousands of reported sightings, someone had to have seen at least something weird.

Another note about the BFRO: I called them a few years back about my sisters sighting and spoke with a Park Ranger who had a degree in Biology. He was stationed on the N. Cali coast and himself had never seen on but it was very interesting to have him explain all of the stories from people and how he could tell, as somewhat of a wildlife expert, that whether or not there was an actual Bigfoot, there were definitely some strange phenomena around the area in which he worked.

the letsrun mobile is a vehicle that needs to be created. I picture it half RV, half newscrew van. Who wants to come up with the design for the side of the vehicle? Also, we should probably get the vehicle donated from a letsrun'r who owns a used car dealership or something.

I'd definately be in the hunting team, i just don't live in the country. Please can one of you letrun posters catch it, it would make my year. Bigfoot could become the sites mascott.

Long Live Bigfoot.

I saw baby jesus running in the woods, i will keep tht for another day, once this has died down.

Shall i call the bigfoot hunting squad to get jesus aswell, im ure they can handle all situations, i mean these guys are pro's.

Yes, of course the most hilarious part is that in order to "ensure our freedom" he suggests that we in fact curtail it (by avoiding the forests).

The part that amazes me is how well these creatures must take care of one another. I mean in all these years to not have one casualty that went unaccounted for by the big footians is pretty amazing. One would think that since they rarely travel in pairs it would inevitable for one to be accidentally trapped or killed or sustain significant injury and then to have that one discovered and its remains to analyze. The only logical deduction is that once these creatures die they immediately disappear into thin air. Oh these things are real alright!

It should look like this:

...in fact we need to hire those meddling kids.

please delete this thread again. and ban this jackass.

Ever see the Gemlin-Patterson video from the 60s? That thing looked real. Terrified on the trail, what did this badboy look like? There's no way it was an elaborate and realistic costume worn by some large dude? Sorry for the skepticism, but it only comes naturally.

how the hell are threads deleted WITHOUT wejo's approval?

that flagpole willy guy is getting out of hand.

haven't you ever seen "harry and the hendersons"? it's a detailed documentary of the very possibility you just discussed.

count me in on the letsrun mobile. i suggest that instead of an internal combustion engine we harness the power of trolls to take us cross country. i'll get working on the design right now!

how would that guy be able to delete threads?

A couple years ago, one of my friends got married and gave out gifts to everyone in the wedding party. The best man's gift was a full gorilla suit. The first thing he said was "I'm taking this to the Pacific NW and hiding out in the woods for the next 2 weeks. One of you guys come get it on video and we'll be famous". Shannon, are you out there?

I for one believe you, Terrified on the Trail. It actually reminds me of a strange incident almost 20 years ago that happened to me. I was with my family on vacation in Montana and we were staying in this amaaazing lodge with a panoramic view of a lake. I remember going out near the lake with my younger brother ( I think he was 6 or 7 at the time, making me about 15) and we were just standing around, kicking water at each other, and he was throwing this football at me.

We were just kind of hanging out, tossing the ball, and when I tossed him the ball I happened to kind of glance to my right. I didn't mean anything by it, I was just admiring the view, and I spot something moving across the lake, all the way on the other side. Now granted the lake was mostly surrounded by trees and bushes, but there was this clearing, and I kid you not, I saw this black thing walking through the clearing.

Now, my first instinct was that it was some kind of bear or something, maybe a black bear, but I looked again, and I realized suddenly that it was definitely walking on two feet. I let my brother know and he peered over casually. I guess little kids are like this, but he kind of shrugs and says something along the lines of, "Yeah, it's a gorilla."

I explained to him that gorillas didn't walk like that, not on two feet, and he ignored me again when I told him that gorillas certainly didn't exist in Montana.

The view was far, but I'm almost positive what I saw. The thing that freaked me out the most was that it walked like a human. Its arms swayed kind of gently and it was hunched over, with this weird gait. I'll never forget that gait. I've never seen anything that big walk like that.

We watched as it made its way back into the woods, definitely walking on two feet, and I turned to my brother, and we went inside.

I was pretty worried about it the rest of the trip. It was such a surreal event. When I think about it now it almost seems like a kind of half-dream. My parents actually got mad at me when I supported my brother's claim that it was a gorilla on two feet. They kind of just dismissed it as a mistake by both of us, and we never did anything further about it.

To this day, I wonder about that, and if both my brother and I had both been wrong in what we saw. It's one of those things that sends a chill up your spine. When I saw that Gimlin-Patterson film on Discovery Channel, I knew exactly that the Bigfoot portrayed in the footage and the creature I remember seeing are the same thing.

I feel kind of like an idiot saying all this, because most people will just blow it off as some faked childhood anecdote. It's really not fabricated. I doubted myself for so long, even to this day, but I think that somewhere out there, in those dense unexplored forests, somewhere there's gotta be something we've never seen. Who knows, it's all crazy. Anyway, not to belabor the point, but I definitely believe the original poster's account. Many people fake sightings or pictures just to get attention, but I think there are definitely a view that are convinced, unequivocally, of what they saw.
