If someone can film the extremely rare snow leopard in 4k quality, then there should be no reason to not be able to get a clear close up picture of Bigfoot
That's the thing. Snow leopard is the top predator in it's environment. So it's fair to assume that it doesn't fear anything that is not an ungulate. And bigfoot...well...Shit. if a Leopard Can Dispatch a Silverbacks gorilla in a One v One brawl, Then it's clear that Our Hairy Comrade is trying it's best to hide from anything that is not bears, pack hunters, and Big cats...And even Moose can Dispatch a bear.
UNFORTUNATELY, I did see one, and quite clearly. Wasn't looking, didn't believe in it, but there it was for almost 30 minutes. This was also not in a situation where there was any doubt what it was. So here's the story: It was June 1998, I was travelling thru the Rockies from Banff Alberta to Vancouver, CA. Four hours into our trip, Paul's old Chevy Chevlle broke down and we coast into the tourist overlook. After twenty minutes of trying to start it we realized we would need to hitchhike or flag down someone. We were really high up, parallel to the glacier field that was right across the small valley from the overlook. We lit up cigarettes, and were pondering what to do as the night closed in, and no cars or trucks had come by. In the valley, between us and the glacier field, I spotted a bear making its way up the slope toward the glacier field. I pointed him out to Paul and we watched it work it's way thru the trees. as it came into the sunlight 'spots' amidst the tree, it became apparent it wasn't a bear. It was walking on two feet, and his arms were swinging. We thought maybe it was a trapper wearing his furs, as he was obviously heading to the lip of the glacier field. then it became apparent that the man was HUGE. Definitely not a bear, but also insanely muscled and covered in the same brown colored grizzly hair. He was also making massively quick work of climbing up the slope; much faster than any person, and that he must be very tall. Also he had to duck under the lower branches of the trees which tended to start much higher up the tree. Also as he got higher, closer to our viewpoint, we could see more detail. As this happened it started to dawn on us, what this person/creature might be, and I remember thinking clearly, please for the love of god, let it not be fucking bigfoot. There's an area before the ice begins, where the trees stop and it's just rocks. We watched it walk up that, and now could clearly see it was a massive hairy man wearing no clothes, had no backpack, etc. But also it's body was strikingly different than ours. Really long arms that made it from our angle feel like four same size limbs. it's trapezoid muscles were overdeveloped so there wasn't much of a neck, the head seemed to go straight into that muscle goup. When it had climbed to the lip of the glacier it paused and turned around looking directly at us. Now, it looked back at us, the way a deer or another animal does when it wants you to know its aware of you. Just very still, watching. and also the sun was now setting and so the whole glacier, which is a giant white reflective surface, was bouncing light clearly into him his face and frame. So we could see him super clearly as he looked at us. His face is defintely ape like, with a very wide nose, and thick facial hair, but there was an air of human like intelligence that it also projected. Satisfied we were no threat it turned and began walking across the glacier field, disappearing into the rocky mountains. When we couldn't see him anymore, we thought about getting tracks but to get up that slope would put us well into night, and the temperature drop at that elevation is breathtaking, even in summer. We eventually had a migrant worker stop and pick us up and take us the 9 hours to Vancouver. The whole time I thought of nothing but that creature,, walking slowly over the glacier into the sunset. Like a movie shot, it was just so unbelievable, but it had happened, and no logic or anything else could change the validity of what we saw. We also never talked about it, because Bigfoot right? and years later when we saw each other, still neither one of us brought it up, but i'm sure it's all we were thinking about.
@@cabininthewoods517 the Bigfoot Stories are not recent meaning well know since the 1950's.....but back among the native american Indians since they have been here. one story of Bigfoot is mentioned in President Theodore Roosevelt 's book the Wilderness Hunters.......tells a Bigfoot story to Roosevelt himself by a elderly hunter who saw a Bigoot in 1850 when he was a young man.....also during the Viking Era when they came to North America...noted in their journals of runing into a Bigfoot.........keep in mind those stories were told long before Hollywood and Fake costumes.....so the Creature has been around for a long time.
1:52 i hate to break this to you, but all of those animal has been casually detected, captured, hunted, and sold long before the modern scientist even think of researching new species. The coelocanth that everyone brings up in this kinds of discussion has been catch and sold in indonesia since millenia. And i never see or heard bigfoot hide ever being used anywhere in native american tent, at least as far as i know.
@tanner201x8 bigfoot supposedly live inside the supposedly most advance country in the world and yet the best footage we have is from 1960s? While okapi, ceolocanth, and giant squid which lives in the deepest most secluded sea and jungle has been casually captured, recorded and sold since millenia? Yeah, seems legit, bigfoot must be real.
@@Austenite75 If Bigfoot existed it would be unique in a sense that it would be the most intelligent animal alive and be just as smart as us. All that brain power instead of going to useless stuff that humans use it for goes towards evading detection.
@@Austenite75 Bigfoot isn’t just some fish. It would be unlike any animal we’ve ever known. An animal as intelligent as people but instead of using its intelligence on dumb things like us it uses it to avoid detection.
My only issue with Big foot existing is the sheer amount of people looking for it for 20+years and still found nothing concrete. Since Patty in 1960s we found bodies of Colosal Squid and Giant Squid.
That's a fair enough argument, but I think you might not know just how big the wilderness still is. There are unbelievable amounts of land that go unseen for years in just the USA, and Canada is larger with a fraction of the people.
The number of "legit" videos I've seen out of hundreds can be counted with fingers on one hand... and all those vids are more than 15 years old now. The reality is, genetic bottle-necking and a narrow gene pool have likley driven them to extinction. All while we argue whether they're even real or not.
Took a deer that died back in my woods 3 months to completely disappear. March through May and it was gone. No hide left, and good luck finding any bones, just gone.
I arrowed a mule deer buck in NM. It took me 45 min to find a way down the cliff to it. By the time I got to it a pack of Coyotes had eaten it, ALL of it! The only thing left was bloody snow and hair.
We ve seen deers in zoos , deers in the wild , deers everywhere , hunters have killed deer , eaten deer , saved thier antlers ! BIGFOOT we ve never seen , never killed , never caugt , are not in zoos , bigfoot does not exist this was 13 minutes of nonsense
Being from northern british columbia canada, i definitely think its possible, especially when seeing the mountains are like a vast ocean which seems endlessly remote
I couldn’t agree more! I happen to be in Klemtu, BC right now doing some Sasquatch investigation, and there are some fascinating stories in these parts.
I'm a major skeptic. I would just roll my eyes and never think of this again if it wasn't for that dang video of Patty. I've watched probably every analysis of that film footage and it just can't be debunked. Hollywood special effects and makeup artists of that time admitted they could never have made a suit that was that good, so if the best in the world couldn't have pulled it off, I pretty sure 2 cowboys couldn't have done it. Since there is really no other solid evidence of bigfoot, it's like the Patty footage can't exist - yet it does.
Glad to see skeptics acknowledge Patty would be extremely difficult to fake, if at all. My money's on real, a suit is incredibly unlikely showing Patty's features.
Re: 12:55 With all due respect, I think it can be said many Bigfoot proponents are also pretty emotionally invested in their belief that non-human primates are walking around the woods of North America and elsewhere. I don't think either side of this debate has the market cornered when it comes to passion.
Out of the hundreds of "Sasquatch" videos I've seen I can say that three or four are legitimate and that's it. One of those real ones showed 2 individuals with what seemed to be Spastic Paraplegia... a symptom of heavy in-breeding. Genetic bottlenecking and an already narrow gene pool have likley already taken their courses.
@@temparalflux914 they look too much like humans is what they usually say. Some others think that they're not alone. Most everyone agrees that deer rifles with frangible bullets ore only enough to make them upset. Most game bullets are designed to make a wide wound channel in a skinny body with light muscle and bone. Even specialized guns can have a hard time with animals roughly as large and dense but much less thick, like Bison. That's all relevant only if they can see them for long enough to overcome their shock and decide to kill it. Hunters are ethical in general, we train hard to know how to do the right thing so if something new turns up the reaction is to NOT shoot. Most sightings are only a second or two, not long enough.
Sounds like yet another case of, "I can't imagine how this is possible, therefore it can't be possible. Because certainly, the problem couldn't be a failure of my ability to understand how."
That was the thoughts of. 😢 "experts" in another taboo topic UFOs. blue book the study into UFOs had that as their leaders mantra. "It can't be therefore it isn't " .
@@cabininthewoods517 I believe that he's playing the part of a skeptic and demonstrating the way that their thought process works. He's being sarcastic.
I think Patty is a post natal female with an organ prolapse. That is possibly what you see portruding from her bottom. Pelvic organ prolapse occurs when the muscles and tissues that support the pelvic organs weaken during childbirth. particulary in individuals who have given birth many times. The organs drop down. Her breasts look heavy with milk too. The pale line on her thigh is not a fold in material. It's a wear pattern from walking with her thumb rubbing the fur or hair away. You can see her doing just that with her right hand. You can also see that the hair or fur is rucked up at the end of the pale line. Some people have said that this might be a muscle hernia but I think it is more likely to be displaced fur or hair.
I always thought that line on the thigh was just the hair being swept back and forth, since the line seems to disappear abd reappear with each pass of her arm over it...
One if the things in the patterson/gimlin film that convinced was the proportions of the body, just observing the video. No human has arms that go down that far on their side. The torso is far too long for a humans body as well, and no human alive walks like that. If they managed to fake it that well in 1967 then they honestly deserve praise because they did a better job than Hollywood.
A guy with stilts, fake muscles, water balloons, and a tight suit looking like what Alan Sheppard wore in Jumanji (but with a caveman mask), could have done it. It is just skeptics don't bother to create a good suit.
Did you ever see those 'arms' do anything but dangle at the sides? They never once raised up... which would reveal extensions that make them APPEAR to be as long as they were, particularly if there are no articulating hand movements. LOL... no human walks like that? Humans have all kinds of walks, I have a brother that walked and ran like that when he was younger... and when you get old and fat, you walk like that, including turning your entire body to look around!! Trust me!
While it's true that species like gorillas, bears, and cougars have some fossil records, the extreme scarcity of these records highlights how elusive remains can be, especially in dense forest environments where Bigfoot is reported to live. Fossilization is an incredibly rare process that requires specific conditions not typically found in forests, where rapid decomposition and scavengers eliminate most traces. Bigfoot is likely a highly intelligent, elusive forest-dweller. The lack of fossil evidence isn’t surprising-it's consistent with what we see for other large, rare animals in similar habitats. Known species like bears and cougars leave behind limited fossils, despite their abundance. Expecting abundant fossil evidence for an elusive species like Bigfoot, with a small population and a natural inclination to avoid humans, ignores the reality of how remains are preserved. So yes, some known animals "do have" fossils, but that doesn’t undermine the point. Sparse fossil evidence proves how unlikely it is to find remains, even for known animals-let alone a rare creature like Bigfoot.
If you gathered up all of the fossil remains we've ever discovered belonging to gorillas, chimps, bonobos and orangutans, they wouldn't even fill up the trunk of a small sedan.
1) there are huge not-currently-seen primates in the fossil record 2) the raw numbers of bears and large cats alive at any given time throughout history makes this a misleading comparison, to the degree of actually disproving the point you're trying to make and bolstering Mr CITW. Divide the big cat fossils found in the americas by the total number of cats that have ever lived here and you'll see what I mean. There are up to 30k cougars alive now in the USA at a fraction of their historical population, which would have been small compared to prehistory in number and type. They live 10 years or so. Thus, millions upon millions have lived and died. Several other species have existed, also by the millions. And we have however many fossils. There's probably never been more than 1500-2000 sasquatch alive in the whole of the Americas, and they probably live 6 to ten times as long as cats. let's even say they have the same intellect, family life, and environments so are equally likely per capita to be fossilized. So based on the number of cougars in the fossil record that you seem to be familiar with, how many apes would you expect to have found in the Americas by now? Do the same with bears. Almost a million bears at a very low point currently, birthing annually and dying at 20 years or so. How many bear fossils are there compared to the billions that have lived? I have always lived in states with both cougars and black bears. Lots of them. Many thousands of each where I live now and they're quite concentrated due to the islands of habitat surrounded by desert. I have seen a grand total of one recent trackway for each species and two feeding sites each. Maybe five "dump" sites total. Definitely have never seen a bone. And I'm a hunter, I'm in their habitat often and at length. There are many millions of skunks and raccoons at any given time and I've only ever seen one skull between the two. What I'm saying is that the raw numbers make this poor contrary evidence.
@@cabininthewoods517 In spite of all that, my original point still stands. I'm simply pointing out a very real lack of evidence; you are trying to explain away said lack of evidence, while providing none of your own. With all due respect, that approach will remain conjecture, speculation, special pleading. @jcarry5214 1. How many of those are from North America? More on that below. 2. Your point is well articulated, but not without its fair share of assumptions and wishful speculation arbitrarily designed to work in your favor. E.g., your Bigfoot population numbers of 1,500-2,000 are based on what exactly? And you conveniently forgot about the gorillas -- gorillas aren't rare, highly elusive, and live in inaccessible regions with low chance of fossilization, yet DO exist in the fossil record? Both of you guys are also talking about, say, cougars in the fossil record as if those fossils all represent modern-day cougars. The rarity of a species today says little about its prevalence historically -- there is an abundance of Triceratops fossils, after all. Heck, mammal fossils from as late as the Pleistocene megafauna is very abundant! But, not only are there nothing resembling Bigfoot fossils, there also are no *primate* fossils in all of North America. Where, then, are Bigfoot's ancestors? You are assuming that its lineage was always quite rare throughout its evolution, and that the environment it lived in changed only very little over millions of years. (Needless to say, a species' "natural inclination to avoid humans" would have even less bearing on the probability of fossilization...) A series of remarkable coincidences like these can be freely made up in order to suit your predetermined conclusion, yet it necessarily remains pure speculation and wishful thinking. It's the kind of unsupported notion that cannot be taken seriously in scientific circles. The absence of evidence remains a constant. You say that the forests of North America make for poor fossilization conditions. Well then, let's not confine ourselves to that continent alone. Back to point 1 above: You might speculate (!) that Bigfoot did not, in fact, evolve in North America, but crossed the Bering Strait only relatively recently in geological times. This only serves to move the problem one step farther, however. You may point to the sparse fossils of Gigantopithecus of Asia as a Bigfoot ancestor, but, existing so-called video evidence of Bigfoot does not resemble our current understanding of Gigantopithecus. Environments change over time and species change with them: there are a bunch of primate fossils spread across the world, from many millions of years old to quite recent. Which of these represent Bigfoot ancestors? I have seen no serious attempt to map this out (let alone concensus!), even though it should be relatively easy for an aficionado like yourself to at least speculate (!) on. But as with so much else concerning Bigfoot, there is nothing of real substance to support the enormity of the assertion.
well don't blame or even hate skeptics. me as long as there is no fossils or dead body decayed presented or captured then I would remain as skeptics. I respect those whom they said have seen once but it doesn't change my arguments
I totally understand where you're coming from, and it’s fair to want concrete physical evidence like fossils or a body. Open-minded skepticism is a healthy part of any investigation, and the lack of undeniable physical remains is a legitimate reason to remain unconvinced. However, as I mentioned in the video it’s also worth noting that some animals are incredibly elusive, and the natural decay process in the wilderness can be very efficient. So, while a body or fossil would indeed be the gold standard for proof, there are still thousands of reports, footprints, and other forms of evidence that suggest something worth investigating. It might not be enough to convince everyone, but it does keep the question open for those curious to explore it further. Thanks for keeping the discussion respectful-it’s great to have differing perspectives.
@@cabininthewoods517 i totally about that but there is no more best proof than what I've mentioned about. we humans digged up early civilizations who have been gone for centuries, went to remote island of indigenious cannibal tribe, dive to the deepest ocean and these so called BF are alive and not one proof. I really wanted to be true i really do. it's exiting for me but until now i guess i will remain as skeptic. But I wish in my lifetime someone would be able to capture alive, or even remained body of these BF so that this would be studied. there is more than meets the eye for these creatures
One thing you'll never be able to debunk w/ me is...I've never seen one. I've never seen anything even close. There's nothing wrong w/ being a skeptic. I'll believe it when I see it.
That’s the sort of skepticism I have zero issues with. The fact that you’re open to believing when you see is the mark of healthy skepticism. Unhealthy skepticism declares something absolutely does not exist regardless of evidence, then ridicules those with experiences to the contrary.
32 years hunting. Run 13 trail cameras year round. Hunted the Allegheny National forest for years. Never seen a single shred of evidence with my own eyes. Apparently we are just supposed to believe what people say because they said it. This is absolutely a cult.
The one aspect that you didn't mention was that these creatures are nocturnal not diurnal. This is a trait among MANY cryptid creatures. It makes a BIG difference that these creatures roam around at night when we can't easily see them and we are usually asleep.
Yet most stories are told as happening during the day. Chill on you mental gymnastics and seek out a mental health professional because that's all this stuff is. No different than the flat earth cult.
Having done lots of hunting and fishing in my 65+ years, I have never seen evidence of anything out of the expected. Raised on a farm 20 minutes away from Salt Fork Nature Area in Ohio. I would not debate what I have never seen, however, I will believe it when I see it myself.
Why disbelieve credible sources simply because you yourself are not the source? Patterson video for ex. So you won't believe it because you weren't personally there to see it?
@@walkerpercy8702 What credible sources? Don't you know extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence? Someone's 'say-so' isn't evidence, it's a claim and claims need to be verified.
Another point to make with regard to the low populations or detected low populations of Big Foot is that their cries and yelping can be heard for miles an aspect that may allow for small groups to maintain a surviving population at lower numbers.
Excellent points here. What part of the country do you live in ? I live in the PNW. I am a wild mushroom forager. I have been out in remote , thick lush forests, and high desert forests. I lived on 11 acres that borded BLM forest land. Lived there 15 years. I climbed the hill sides regularly. And I have hunted in the Tioga and up at Lomolo. The only animal remains that I have ever found is deer. No bear bones or skulls. No cougar remains. Not even rabbit bones or squirrel. Just deer.
And you think this means what? I'm currently in the middle of my 32nd hunting season, and don't really come across bones all that much. It literally means nothing lol.
I have seen 8mm silent home video of deer sprinting through the forrest that is clear, spontaneous, and highly detailed. I have cell phone camera video of small animals darting around the woods, and you can see everything about them just fine. Maybe Sasquatch is just naturally really blurry...
Just because people claim they saw a ghost. Doesn't prove that ghosts exist. Personal stories without proof, are just stories. If your only "evidence" is a film from the 1960's. Well that's pretty lame IMO.
Comparing eyewitness accounts of ghosts to Sasquatch sightings misses an important distinction. The Patterson-Gimlin film is more than just a "story"; it’s evidence that has been analyzed for decades by professionals in biomechanics, anthropology, and film. Personal stories add to the cumulative data, but the evidence for Sasquatch also includes tracks, audio recordings, DNA and video analysis-not just anecdotes. Dismissing it all based on the date of one piece of evidence seems a bit shortsighted, don’t you think?
I’m a truck driver and i don’t think ppl realize how much wilderness is out there. It’s even endless wilderness on the packed east coast where most the ppl live. You go west of the Mississippi and civilization is few and far between. I’m willing to bet more than half the land is untouched. Because it’s definitely uninhabited
Not as untouched as you might think. As a northern California logger, and also being that I grew up in a forested area doing all kinds of stuff out in the woods my entire life, I've never seen a virgin forest. The only exceptions are if it was deliberately set aside as a protected wilderness or park or something.
In the PNW near Mt Rainier there are roads but besides that there are so many places where a human simply cannot traverse. I've been all around the roads in the NF and it's very tough terrain. The deer I would see there looked like they were on steroids. I had some very scary experiences also because I camped for months sometimes.
I used to be a believer and now I'm a skeptic. There is nothing new or ground breaking here. I've heard all of these arguments many times. Nothing here got "debunked." It isn't our job to prove that Bigfoot does not exist. It's your job to prove that Bigfoot DOES exist and that wasn't proved here. The reason that I changed from believer to skeptic is time. I'm 55. Until I was about 25, I was a believer. Slowly over time I have changed my mind. It's just been too long with thousands of people trying all kinds of different methods to attempt to prove that this thing exists. Many of these methods have gotten a lot more sophisticated over the last few decades. Sure, they have collected a few unknown things like sounds, footprints, or hair samples. Wonderful, but that isn't proof. The PG film was 56 years ago and that is STILL the BEST photographic evidence we have? We should have found some more evidence by now.
Also the fact that a group of men skilled enough, haven't tracked it down and killed or captured one to rake in a fortune and be set the rest of their lives is laughable. If people are just running into them on trails and frequented national parks, some body that hunts and tracks for a living would have got one by now.
Some, if not many, believers are emotionally invested too. It’s been a topic of great interest to me since I was a kid going back to the ‘60’s. Having studied the research by authors such as Sanderson, Krantz, Green, Meldrum, Bindernagel and many others, I was convinced that these creatures must exist. However, with the likelihood of irrefutable physical evidence surfacing with the passage of time yet still absent and the proliferation of cameras capable of capturing high quality images and video running almost everywhere and all of the time, I am now highly skeptical of the creature’s’ existence.
😅 What about cases where last bit of film shows an ape-like hand reaching from behind the camera, and twisting it away from the trail it was set to cover?
@joycebrewer4150 How would an ape possibly understand what a camera is and to avoid them? If you went back 200 years your average human would have no clue what a camera was or that the front of it was recording you. You can't "figure it out" without a lot of preexisting knowledge
Probably my biggest pet peeve regarding skeptics of aliens/ufos is the "WhY AReN'T tHErE bETtEr PhOToS, We AlL hAVe PhOnES?!" like bro am I the only person who ever tried taking photos at night, or while moving fast, with my phone? I have a pretty nice phone with a good camera and while the newest phones can do some decent astrophotography now, it's still incredibly hard or even impossible to get a decent photo of things that are far away and moving fast, and even more so at night. Go ahead and get me an HD photo of an airplane in action with your cell phone without pulling up on an airport or setting up a shot because you don't know when and where you might see a UFO. Once you start getting over, idk, 7500 feet or so you're gonna have grainy photos where you can make out the features of a plane and it'll be worse the further the plane is and the more you zoom... just like UFOs lol. I've honestly been of the opinion that we've gotten some absolutely incredible ufo footage and photography in the last 10 years or so.
"I've seen more than one of them. Oddly, I never had my camera phone with me any of the times. Or I had it in "blur" mode. Or the nearby UFO made my electronics freeze. Or..."
It's so weird to me that people gaslight themselves into having faith in the existence of such an inconsequential thing that they should have absolutely no reason to believe in
I have intuitively always known Sasquatch were a real thing, but I always assumed there were not many and they were only in the NW USA.. Then I stumbled across "tree manipulations", heard sounds, then saw one but questioned what I saw here in New Hampshire! How can this be I thought... But then I found footprints! It was truly an OMG moment! Ive since retired and gone all in on this subject.... and happily have had some good fortune in my research activities
ohio has tons of reports. the most outside of the pacific northwest. ive never seen one but i have been bluff charged at 3am on a pitch black night by something(s) that cannot be explained away by the local wildlife.
I'm very sceptical of the idea from both theoretical and practical standpoints. If bigfoot exists it needs to evolve from something and there are no apes or Hominids in the Americas , there is also no fossil evidence of them there. On the practical side, there are cameras everywhere and any significant animal will occasionally wander into suburbs and even cities, when they are hungry they come. I don't live in the US but I can say that the animals in my country are very shy so when I hiked I almost never seen any. But, when I worked as a security guard to get money for college I saw both in my eyes and in cameras the entire known managerie, garbage bins are too irresistible. When wild animals come into the city enough times they lose their shyness and can be seen walking in the light of day. Bigfoot somehow isn't seen this way...
@robertcoggeshall3071 Not exactly, the Hominids lived up to central China but not further then that. North-East Siberia was uninhabited until the last 20,000 years as it's the harshest region on earth outside Antarctica even in the current inter-glacial period. During glacial periods when Beringia is above the sea it's even harsher.
2:03 you say "Bigfoot, if real" but at the start of the video you said you've seen Bigfoot twice before, so if you've seen him twice already and you know hes real, why would you say "Bigfoot, if real"?
Idk man, a large animal as it is commonly described shouldn't be this hard to find. It's not hiding in the most unreachable depth of the ocean where the pressure of the water is enough to kill you. It's just in the woods...something we can easily explore and document. And yet there's no real concrete evidence. It's unlikely it's real in my opinion but I'd be happy to see it actually exist.
Too many this is a fictional subject BUT for those of US who have an experience its beyond shocking. Some people even suffer PTSD from one. While others reallze that our governments have lied to us about this massive being that we now question what other lies have WE been told. I struggle with explaining how it changes your thought process. I stayed out of the woods for 14 years after my experience. So i ask those that havent had an experience to please keep an open mind.
@@cabininthewoods517 WHYever would the government lie? We DO have freedom of the press! It's now been 44 years since I had my own experience...one of those happenings which will simply NOT go away and has stayed with me forever. Also, just FYI...I've had FOUR UFO sightings, going all the way back to the late 60's when I witnessed a classic 'Flying Saucer' fly low and slow directly over my head less then 100' above me. Is there any connection? Probably not!...but there might be Bigfeet on Alpha Centauri VII. BHE
@@cabininthewoods517 Park rangers and police officers don't report their sightings because it makes their branch look bad, not because of a conspiracy.
@aleksander8497 I really enjoy his books and videos but I've found two other channels that investigate some of his cases and find much more info. You should check out " missing enigma " and " lore lodge "
I’ve seen one. Didn’t believe until then. There’s actually very good evidence out there but media and shows like “finding Bigfoot” bring shame and distract from actual research
I know that White sharks exists because I watch them on TH-cam go to Malibu Artist. Watching them swim along with the people surfing is on another level.
I am a skeptic but I am not "extremely emotionally invested". There are many reasons to be skeptical but I do not consider those who believe as delusional unless we get to the really far out accounts. In talking about the lack of skeletons I have found them from coyote , fox , deer and badger.Many deer as well , of course, and I know of a bear that was found that had been hit by a car. Over the years I have spent a lot of time in the woods. So bones of other wildlife do exist and the teeth do not dissolve away. Some claim they bury their dead yet there is no physical evidence. Respectfully , you saying that the Patterson-Gimlin tape is "in my opinion proof beyond reasonable doubt" is not proof , but as you said , an opinion. The dermal ridges were shown many years ago to be the result of making fake prints out of latex. If the population is extremely small would there not be inbreeding ? Also, many people have claimed to see them in areas that are far from remote. There are many other things to discuss but the last I will talk about is Native American mythology and tradition. The list of nearly 200 different Native American names for Bigfoot were examined by Trey the Explainer and it was shown that all but a handful were creatures or beings that were not even close to Bigfoot. Some actually were dwarf characters. Many Native Americans in the comments were tired of their culture being interpreted by people who don't understand it. So to those that have seen Bigfoot I say please get some solid evidence such as a captive or a body. That will prove the skeptics wrong and I would love to be proven wrong. Meanwhile skeptics should not be attacked unless they are disrespectful.
Hi Kurt, Thanks for sharing your thoughts-there are some fair points here, and I’d like to address a few of them. 1. Lack of Skeletal Remains: While you’ve found remains of smaller animals, Bigfoot, is likely an elusive apex species. Larger, rare animals like mountain lions and bears are also difficult to find remains of, as they tend to decompose or get scattered by scavengers in dense wilderness. Additionally, if Bigfoot exhibits behaviors similar to primates, it’s possible they avoid leaving remains or, as some suggest, may even bury their dead, which would further reduce the likelihood of finding bones. 2. Dermal Ridges: The claim that dermal ridges in Bigfoot prints are faked using latex has been debated, but several forensic analysts, including Jimmy Chilcutt, a fingerprint expert, found them to be consistent with living biological patterns, not typical of fakes. Dismissing these ridges as fakes oversimplifies a complex area of study where some experts see authenticity. 3. Population and Inbreeding: Many rare animals exist in small populations without rampant inbreeding due to genetic diversity, environmental adaptation, or migratory patterns. If Bigfoot populations exist in isolated pockets and occasionally interbreed with neighboring groups, it’s feasible they could avoid severe inbreeding effects. Nature has countless examples of small populations that survive despite low numbers. 4. Native American Accounts: While not all Native American legends align with Bigfoot as we know it, the consistency of large, hairy, bipedal creature stories across many tribes and regions-long before popular media-does provide a compelling cultural foundation. This isn't proof, of course, but it adds an intriguing layer of historical context that can’t be ignored. 5. Proof Beyond Reasonable Doubt: I understand your point about wanting a body or solid evidence, and many believers agree. However, high-quality footage, eyewitness accounts from credible individuals, and physical evidence like footprints have led some to find this "proof beyond reasonable doubt" in a legal sense, even if it doesn’t satisfy scientific consensus. Skepticism is fair, but a total dismissal of all evidence can overlook genuine areas of intrigue worth investigating. Respectful discourse is always welcome, and skepticism is valuable-it pushes us all to seek more evidence. Thanks for the thoughtful comment.
@@cabininthewoods517 Thanks for your reply. Though I am a skeptic I will remain respectful of others. I would be so happy if some one could find a specimen and prove all the skeptics wrong.
I neither believe nor disbelieve the Bigfoot phenomenon at this point because I've never seen one (I am not a woodsman/camping type) though I've had solid paranormal experiences in other areas. Those who want "solid evidence" well, the fact is the Gimlin/Patterson film has NEVER really been debunked. I wonder why so many of the "debunkers" seem to have such an obsession and mean-spirited verbiage. While there is certainly a lot of fake contemporary Bigfoot footage out there, there are still those clips that truly are WTF?? For example, that 2014 family holiday gathering in Minnesota where they noticed a Bigfoot and went outside is truly one of the pieces of real footage to me. When the small dog darts out to the location of the creature, there is a faint but BEASTLY low range growl (heard only on headphones) beyond in the treeline and the dog runs back immediately. I know video editing and that definitely is NOT an inserted track. It is organic to the original video. There is also the matter of the creature moving quickly and effortlessly (so that dismisses any idea of a "suit"). And the family didn't seem to act in a ridiculous way that the hoaxers do. The guy who uploaded it in 2014, he is only interested in motor toys and doesn't show any hint of being a computer geek. And back then how do you mess with 360p resolution anyway? No way they did "CGI" at home in that time.
The latex idea couldn't produce dermal ridges in a non human pattern, but are just a copy of a human foot. Some dermal ridges were likely dessication ridges, which is accidental from the plaster warping.
I have been interested in the Bigfoot mystery for well over 40 years. I am pretty much convinced that they exist. HOWEVER, the only objection I have to their existence is *caloric*. Whether carnivore, omnivore, or herbivore, the great size of the Sasquatch would necessitate that they would spend nearly every waking moment eating or searching for food. I should think their impact on flora alone would be demonstrative of their existence.
@ Not sure as to your point. I do wilderness canoe trips in Maine and Canada and have seen literally hundreds of moose. And they definitely leave an impact on their environment.
@@cabininthewoods517 To be fair, it is because Bigfoot researchers don't show the evidence to skeptics: they don't even show it on Discovery Communications, History, or Fox. The reason is because Bigfoot researchers preach to the choir.
@@WillRobinson-r7c evidence thats never been disproved- pg film, tracks showing heavy weight, sound recordings, and dermal ridges and skookum body print are among them.
It is possible there is some type of bipedal ape like creature living out in the deep woods. Until there is a body, teeth or bones to examine Bigfoot is just a myth. I do wish it would be proven beyond a shadow of a doubt. I hope people continue the search, collect more data and eyewitness accounts. For me the world would be a much more interesting place with Bigfoot in it.
Couple theories out there stating that squatches may be hypersensitive to changes in their environment (like a camera in a tree where there wasn’t one last time they came through) or that they can potentially see the infrared sensors or beams on the cameras and thus stay far away from them or move wide around. I’m a long-time skeptic, but there’s just too much evidence out there that can’t be classified as a known species to just wholesale write off “Bigfoot isn’t real.” I look forward to being proven wrong by correctly identifying evidence or proven right by describing and classifying a Sasquatch eventually.
@@terryharvey8020don't waste your breath on skeptics, they are as fanatical as the Spanish Inquisition in their convictions. It's just not worth the effort.
I dont know where yall live but in central texas I find various skulls and bones in the woods all of the time. Many birds, deer, hogs, and even a goat skull. Lots of bones i have no idea what they came from. Maybe its just a matter of the terrain since centex tegion has mostly alkaline soil and there is no thick deep forests really, like in Canada or PNW, or even east texas. Also, I dont see what is so convincing about the patty film. Its obviously a guy in some kind of costume. It looks to me like its worn over the clothes of whoever it is in the suit. The arms dont look to long and it moves like a guy trying to look like he moves like an ape. There are far more convincing films imho. That being said Im open to the idea that a relict hominid species could still exist, or possibly feral humans or something. I just dont tend to believe incredible stuff without some sort of unquestionable evidence to back it up. No crappy footage or tall tales will change that. Either I know for a fact that its true or its still an open question for me. Id have to see one myself and be close enough that there was no mistaking it was a real cryptid. Something seen at a distance wouldnt convince me unless something occurred that wss clearly something a guy in a suit couldnt do. Like move impossibly fast over rough terrain that a human couldnt negotiate or be in an extremely remote or inaccessible area. No arguments or any other verbal exercise will ever convince me because I know that many, many people are straight lying, trying to con someone, or seeking attention etc almost all of the time, plus mental illness is rampant. So, until there is body found or captured and examined by science and agreed by all to be geniune or I see it closely myself Im gonna take it with a grain of salt and say maybe maybe not and enjoy the tales like any other fictional entertaiment. If this opinion offends you I dont consider your opinion to be really worthy of my consideration because you undoubtably fit into one of the categories I mentioned, sorry. If i saw one i would never expect anyone to believe me and I certainly wouldnt make it my lifes work to convince people of what i saw.
Bob Heironimus was the guy in the suit in the Patterson-Gimlin Bigfoot film. The guy doesn't even have to try to walk like that, it is just his natutal way of walking and kinda unique. And with todays nightvision, drones, many bigfoot hunting shows, we would have captured one already. Also: bears are known to walk on 2 legs when a front paw gets hurt, have seen enough video's of that scenario.
@@Dukeracer01_edits I am looking at that part in the docu. and it is NOT off at all. It could look slightly different to people because the guy is much older, but that is it. It is just too obvious that it was him.
Im sick of all the excuses from the BF community. Your “debunking” effort is extremely weak on almost all points, but take this one. There’s not a single reason to believe that standard wildlife photography procedures couldn’t capture a high quality image of one of these alleged creatures, especially given the 10s of thousands of encounters you cite, which are often reported by those with little or no, such wildlife photography training. If Bigfoot is so careless to be witnessed 10s of thousands of times by non-experts, then there’s absolutely zero excuse preventing a true wildlife photography effort from capturing the elusive images so coveted by the community.
No, he's just right. Out of supposedly thousands of encounters not one single clear photo or video? Not one? Especially now that literally everyone has a high res multi lens camera in his pocket. It's getting pretty hard to ignore.
@@cabininthewoods517 He wasn't swearing, or putting people down, or using illogical arguments..Nothing emotional about his reasoning..Your using the same tactic your accusing others of..Avoiding the argument and making personal attacks..That is the mystery of Bigfoot..Many witnesses, foot prints, vocaliations..But zero conclusive video evidence, or a capture, or body, or skeletal remains..Which is more likely at this point..They are impossible to kill, record, or find or they don't exist ??
I will say this, I'm not convinced entirely that it's real, but the evidence that there's at the very least *something* going on is extremely compelling and I wish there was more mainstream discourse around the subject to that end. It's really not that kooky, it's one of the big remaining mysteries that nobody's really figured out an answer to.
I think they may travel in groups of threes. I can only say that from a single vocalization encounter I experienced. I heard whoops coming from 3 different directions while elk hunting in Washington state. And they were close!
Born and raised in the Pacific NW and have had encounters with several. It does change you, like you replied to the woman who suggested we shouldnt be focused on Bigfoots with the upheaval in the world. As a Christian, it's easy to let myself get distracted with the subject of Sasquatch. Some men and women have given up their entire lives to look for this creature. I don't think having Bigfoot as a hobby is any different than hiking or knitting. It's something you focus on in your spare time. Even if you made it your job, so what? Is the Lord first in your life? Are all of your husbandly responsibilities being met? Ok then. I thought this was an excellent video and I thank you for making it. We need to remember that God is sovereign over all, including who He sets up as rulers. Including wars, and rumors of wars. Including the current upheaval we are experiencing. I'm thankful I could take a few minutes from my day to watch a Bigfoot video. One day, we'll learn what they are! Pray for our country and our world. Trust in God and cling to Him. Seek Him and His Word in all things. You won't have anxiety or fear what is to come... Unless of course you see a Squatch again. They're terrifying to behold!
@cabininthewoods517 it's hard for people who haven't seen them to understand. I struggled with what they are and whether or not they're demonic and trying to lead me astray from the Lord, like the woman believes might be happening to you. I've never experienced anything paranormal with them other than the infrasound I believe they emit when they don't want you in their area, so I cannot speak on that other than I have experienced many paranormal things in my life (especially before God saved me) separate from Bigfoots. They're flesh and blood creatures who I have personally smelled, heard and seen their tracks, watched them break and rustle branches and brush, I've felt the ground shake with bluff charges and them stomping the ground, and even felt one's growl reverberate throughout my entire body, make my knees buckle and I started to black out. I have gotten PTSD from them. One was 4 feet away from my vehicle, and I saw its ashy, charcoal gray skin underneath its dark brown/black hair. They've thrown rocks and fir cones and sticks at me, left me weird "gifts" on my deck in the same spot every time, screamed at me, herded me out of their area, I've seen little ones and teenagers and adults. If they are "the enemy" trying to lead us astray, it won't work on believers (Romans 8:38-39). Just be careful because not all of them are nice. Just like us and other animals like gorillas, they each have their own personality and temperament. I'm a female who spent ridiculous amounts of time in the woods in the same areas they happened to frequent, so I think that's why I was able to have as many encounters as I did. I wasn't a threat to them. They tolerated me. I've only told a few bigfoot researchers where to find them, and most of them looked at me like I was crazy. They seemed to have left the area due to encroachment. Sorry to ramble. I'm just saying, don't feel bad when people don't believe you or think you're crazy or straying from the Lord. They'll never understand until they see one. You can't see something that isn't supposed to exist and NOT have your world turned upside-down. Especially when you can't figure out what they are. They're definitely real, they're here, and in my humble opinion, should be left alone. Mankind screws up everything we touch. I wouldn't tell people where they are, even famous bigfoot researchers or scientists. Our government knows darn well they exist. Why they're trying to keep it from us is a rabbit hole for another day lol. God bless!
As for evidence, it is actually far simpler than most people make it. It is either verifiably sourced from a known origin, or it is not. Not knowing what something is, or knowing all the things it is not is not the same as knowing what thing it actually is. For evidence to prove something specific (not just disprove a group of things), it has to be obtained from the source intended to be studied. If you're going to trust fingerprints, footprints, and hair samples, you MUST get them from the Sasquatch directly. Otherwise you cannot know Sasquatch left or created them.
I've never seen one so no I don't believe they EXIST!! Don't believe Patty exists either. I've hunted wild game for 50 years so it's a big resounding NO they do not. Entertaining though😂
You must be quite the hunter indeed to have visited all 300 million acres of untouched wilderness in North America! Which of course you must have done, since you’re so confident these creatures don’t exist. Strange though, how many career forest rangers swear you’re wrong. But hey, who are they to argue with your 50 years of experience seeing all 300 million acres? After all, this gives you a full 5.3 seconds to see each acre! Yep, no doubt about it - Bigfoot can’t possibly exist now! 🙂
@@cabininthewoods517 no punn itended lol, just saying he "bigfoot" man he's got to be the WORLD CHAMPION IN SOCIAL DISTANCING that's all, heavens I don't know anyone who has spotted one of these "creatures", although I am christian that may have something to do with my not seeing "bigfoot".
If bigfoot are carnivorous, there is a good chace they would follow same hunting principles and localities as human hunters.. and hence logically hunters sud be in the most advantageous position to spot one.. but there is no such sighting yet..
population density is a major problem for me, and I really think I have heard them, I believe. But breeding is a big problem. The way I think right now is that we just don't have any idea of their range over the course of a couple years.
Great question! There are a few theories about how they might survive winter without fire or footwear. Some researchers suggest that, like other large mammals adapted to cold climates (think polar bears or yaks), Sasquatch might have a thick layer of body fat and dense, insulating fur to help retain body heat. Additionally, they may use natural shelters like caves, rock overhangs, or dense forests, which can offer protection from harsh weather. Moving to lower altitudes or using natural geothermal areas could also be strategies. Although these are all hypotheses, it would align with how known animals survive extreme climates without fire or modern shelter.
@@haraldthorson9153 Can you imagine what the repercussion of finding BF in the national parks? No campers, no money. Logging industry shutdown because of protective status of these critters.
Major hunt down for trophies would happen, what's the point? They do no harm to us, just avoid people. Or, if they're being hunted for, I don't want to think of them retaliating on hikers or residents in remote areas.
Watch a video of Bob Heirmonious walking. He said he did it, knows everyone involved in the film, and his gate matches exactly. The BEST evidence out there. Wake up people
60 years later and these fanatics screaming "MONKEY SUIT" still can't produce a single synthetic costume ever created that even comes remotely close to replicating what was captured on film by two cowboys hundreds of miles in the wilderness during a time when the best gorilla suit money could literally buy didn't, and still doesn't, hold a candle to what they documented.
Part of it is a need to grasp onto sanity. People don't want to consider the horrors that exist beyond our knowledge, and are willing to pretend it's all fake. Not many people can deal with the Pandora's box of delving into these esoteric topics. Bigfoot and cryptids, ghosts and demons, aliens, and things of other dimensions, too outlandish to accept. But once you know, you know. There's no going back once you've been convinced.
Why has David Attenbourough not taken a camera crew to look for them? He has been to some of the most remote and inhospitable places on the planet and not just captured a glimpse but taken hours of footage of some of the rarest creatures on the planet...but an 8 foot bi-ped (that apparently has been seen all over the US) is never featured.
It's not a "creature". It's a conscious being. It's highly intelligent. It's very well adapted for living without the need for any technology. We don't see them because they do not want to be seen.
I don't doubt nor do I necessarily believe they exist, but for the constant arguments about lack of clear photos, people that never spent time in forests don't understand HOW difficult it ACTUALLY is to film things that aren't directly near you: but our eyes, while not having great zoom, are binocular AND our brains use this to form a complete image surprisingly well; what looks to you like a clear-as-day figure quickly scattering away would look like something just moving between the leaves, if at all, not to mention the obvious that good luck pulling out your phone or camera & zooming in on something that's gone as soon as it sees a glimpse of you! If they exist they're probably some bizarrely well-adapted primate derivative & would use one of their improved sense, so they'll hear, smell or see any human activity or movement miles-prior. I must say, it'd be cool if they are real, though it's one of those things you never want to see because you either have to keep it to yourself since no-one believes you be frustrated that same people who believe in certain life just within our solar system say you're crazy to think there's another primate or human derivative still undiscovered, lol. But the real fear-factor & why some who claim they witnessed it but don't sound like they are lying are said they are kinda traumatised is because we literally don't know what it's like so the fear of un-known is severe I imagine! Creepiness to the max especially if it's highly intelligent, which sounds about right if it's so proliphic in avoidance of our kind.
Its not difficult. And certainly not difficult enough to have essentially zero "good" footage. Even photos. Sincerely, a hunter of 32 years and amateur wildlife photographer.
@@TaCtiCaL323 It's amazing no trail cams have spotted any, or CCTV or Dashcams, or law enforcement reports, or even a hunter shooting one, are they bullet proof?
@@TaCtiCaL323 It’s there, it just smells/hears humans in the area and steers clear. It’s smart enough to know what a gun is and what it does. It’s been well documented that chimps and gorillas spot camo trail cams easily, sometimes before they themselves are actually caught on the tape.
The funny thing about bigfoot evidence is that if it turns out it's a real creature, then it probably means much of the videos, reportings, and foot prints were real, in which case there actually were a ton of evidence this whole time, and most people just chose to ignore it. I'm VERY sceptic by nature about everything, and I'm definitely not convinced about bigfoot either, but there is something about bigfoot that just seems real to me. Most mythical/extinct/cryptozoological creatures have at best a handful of sightings, but bigfoot sightings are reported in the thousands.
Are you saying they're capable of walking without leaving prints? How come none of these witnesses every just simply go to where it was seen, and grab some pics, hair, ANYTHING. Always just a story of a sighting that we should just gobble up because?
For many, many years there had been talk of people seeing massive hairy man like creatures living in the deepest parts of the unexplored mountains and wilderness. There were so many, in fact, that these rumors sparked enough of a fascination to be turned into sci fi stories, comics, and even monster of the week horror flicks. To any sane, logical, person of sound mind it was obvious that these were simply that, fictional stories. Until one fateful day in 1902 it suddenly became much less obvious when a german with a rifle shot one of the beasts during an expedition into the Virunga mountains in east Africa. Unable to move the massive body of the creature he removed the head from the corpse and was able to bring it back with him, finally presenting undeniable evidence to the scientific community finally confirming the existence of the mountain gorilla. History doesn't always repeat itself, but it certainly rhymes.
There’s plenty of evidence available, and I’ve just covered much of it in my latest video. But my focus in this one was to point out that typical skeptic talking points aren’t nearly as damning as many think. 🙂
The work of Scott Carpenter, Dave Paulides, and Dr. Melba Ketchum, is well done, and shows a genetic relationship between the Folk and us. I am former LE myself. I have experienced them myself. I have also spoken with some of a similar background to myself and took part in the killing of individuals. They were taken into custody by men in sterile uniforms. Personally, leave them be.
i just watched this at 5am and holy crap my guy you shouldn’t be doing debunking videos because this was really bad. i don’t believe mainly because there just hasn’t been anything brought forth and i don’t mean “my friend down the street told me he saw it”. that’s no proof it’s eye witnesses testimony(just in case you didn’t know eye witnesses are one of if not the most unreliable type of evidence) or it’ll be like the blurriest video ever made, i get it that it’s hard to record something(i disagree a bit but i know not everyone can be perfect with a video) but there’s been only grainy blurry pics and videos. also the “most skeptics are emotionally invested” i think that’s kind of a straw man because i think most skeptics just don’t believe and move on with their day. it’s usually the believers who will do anything and everything to try to get you to believe in their stories i mean how many times have we seen flat earthers do the wildest jumps in logic to get anyone to believe them. i understand why believers are so emotional about it because no one wants to looks stupid but if you believed in santa claus until you were 50 then you were kind of stupid and tricked into believing it. really i think this video was perfect for believers to keep hearing their echo chamber answers so they can feel validated. i’ll keep not believing until i see something, anything actually resembling proof not evidence. they’re different things, i know it might be hard to distinguish the two but there is a difference between them. also to anyone who says “it’s a conspiracy to hide the truth” please answer me why would they? i mean seriously bigfoot isn’t a military secret or some political operation hell it’s not even something like mk-ultra. also you have to ask how is it that everyone is keeping silent because we all know the more people in on a conspiracy the higher the chances of leaks, i mean look at snowden it took awhile but someone finally spoke out about america spying on its citizens and he did that with the threat of death. i imagine there’s no cia kill order out on the bigfoot leakers because bigfoot is basically nothing to them, if it was real, there would definitely be a body of one by now. however to all believers please prove me wrong go out there in bigfoot country and shoot one or capture one and get a billion dollars by showing it on the news and selling it to a scientific body. i would be happy for you guys if you did it. if you can’t even do that then you can’t every prove it beyond “I think I saw it so YOU should believe it”.
If I had to say, they probably don't move around a lot. With such thick fur and high body fat and muscle, they can probably survive the cold just fine, so they most likely make dens or nests
The existence of a great ape for over a hundred years was doubted. Many tribesmen, hunters, explorers, claimed "they'd heard the stories and folklore, but in all their years in the jungle, they'd never seen one and believed it didn't exist." Yet it did.
I have no opinion whether bigfoot type creatures are real or not. However over 35 years I was driving at night in NSW Australia and bugger me. The only thing I could say was a black leopard ran across the road, stopped and stared at me I actually got of the car to look at it in the middle of the night. Oddly enough I had experience with leopards in all places way back then in the middle east. Still buggered all these years later that they may exist
Great debunking!! I know they exist. I've seen them, heard them, and "felt" them. I live in the southeast. They do live in family groups, are highly intelligent, and highly organized.
@@cabininthewoods517 The sasquatch lived on my property from 2017 to 2020. So many things happened. I was totally unprepared for the encounters. Didn't know anything about the sasquatch and never thought about them. But, it was almost like they made me acknowledge them. It started off with them "toying " with me. Then, I made them angry with me and they tortured me for about a month. It was terrifying. I woke up each day wondering if today was the day they'd get me. It was hell. You can't hide from the sasquatch. I tried. I covered all my windows with black plastic. I didn't go into my woods. I couldn't sleep, couldn't eat, I just operated on auto pilot, trying to be "normal". I surrounded my house with spotlights and game cams. It's true sasquatch hate game cams and can easily avoid them but they worked as deterrents. I was so desperate for help. The only resource I had was the Internet. Finally, someone who truly knew about the sasquatch, told me to talk to them. So, I did. I went to the wood line behind my house and just started talking. I was so scared and I know I was crying. As I spoke, they rose from their crouching positions. They look like tree stumps when they're crouched down. They stood and listened to me. They watched me take down all the lights and game cams. I took all the plastic off my windows too. This day changed everything. They stopped hunting me. We lived in peace until developers came and destroyed over 300 acres of woodland that surrounded my property. I only have about 50 acres and some of that is for crops. Not enough room for the sasquatch to live. So, they left. It was a very sad day. They still come through now and then but they don't stay long. I will always have a safe space for them.
When people say never any evidence that's evidence that they are aware of. This does not mean it's not there simply that these people are not privy to it. Great download, by the way.
@TaCtiCaL323 Mental gymnastics is just your opinion. Are you privy to all evidence put forward on this subject and have you researched it?if not, you are performing said gymnastics.
For the last 3 years ive been buying Bigfoot sized Nike sneakers and leaving them in known Bigfoot areas..All in the hope one day a picture emerges with one of them wearing some dope Sneaks
If someone can film the extremely rare snow leopard in 4k quality, then there should be no reason to not be able to get a clear close up picture of Bigfoot
That's the thing. Snow leopard is the top predator in it's environment. So it's fair to assume that it doesn't fear anything that is not an ungulate.
And bigfoot...well...Shit. if a Leopard Can Dispatch a Silverbacks gorilla in a One v One brawl, Then it's clear that Our Hairy Comrade is trying it's best to hide from anything that is not bears, pack hunters, and Big cats...And even Moose can Dispatch a bear.
Yea... unless it's intelligent and knows it needs to stay hidden from humans...
UNFORTUNATELY, I did see one, and quite clearly. Wasn't looking, didn't believe in it, but there it was for almost 30 minutes. This was also not in a situation where there was any doubt what it was. So here's the story: It was June 1998, I was travelling thru the Rockies from Banff Alberta to Vancouver, CA. Four hours into our trip, Paul's old Chevy Chevlle broke down and we coast into the tourist overlook. After twenty minutes of trying to start it we realized we would need to hitchhike or flag down someone. We were really high up, parallel to the glacier field that was right across the small valley from the overlook. We lit up cigarettes, and were pondering what to do as the night closed in, and no cars or trucks had come by. In the valley, between us and the glacier field, I spotted a bear making its way up the slope toward the glacier field. I pointed him out to Paul and we watched it work it's way thru the trees. as it came into the sunlight 'spots' amidst the tree, it became apparent it wasn't a bear. It was walking on two feet, and his arms were swinging. We thought maybe it was a trapper wearing his furs, as he was obviously heading to the lip of the glacier field. then it became apparent that the man was HUGE. Definitely not a bear, but also insanely muscled and covered in the same brown colored grizzly hair. He was also making massively quick work of climbing up the slope; much faster than any person, and that he must be very tall. Also he had to duck under the lower branches of the trees which tended to start much higher up the tree. Also as he got higher, closer to our viewpoint, we could see more detail.
As this happened it started to dawn on us, what this person/creature might be, and I remember thinking clearly, please for the love of god, let it not be fucking bigfoot. There's an area before the ice begins, where the trees stop and it's just rocks. We watched it walk up that, and now could clearly see it was a massive hairy man wearing no clothes, had no backpack, etc. But also it's body was strikingly different than ours. Really long arms that made it from our angle feel like four same size limbs. it's trapezoid muscles were overdeveloped so there wasn't much of a neck, the head seemed to go straight into that muscle goup. When it had climbed to the lip of the glacier it paused and turned around looking directly at us. Now, it looked back at us, the way a deer or another animal does when it wants you to know its aware of you. Just very still, watching. and also the sun was now setting and so the whole glacier, which is a giant white reflective surface, was bouncing light clearly into him his face and frame. So we could see him super clearly as he looked at us. His face is defintely ape like, with a very wide nose, and thick facial hair, but there was an air of human like intelligence that it also projected. Satisfied we were no threat it turned and began walking across the glacier field, disappearing into the rocky mountains. When we couldn't see him anymore, we thought about getting tracks but to get up that slope would put us well into night, and the temperature drop at that elevation is breathtaking, even in summer. We eventually had a migrant worker stop and pick us up and take us the 9 hours to Vancouver. The whole time I thought of nothing but that creature,, walking slowly over the glacier into the sunset. Like a movie shot, it was just so unbelievable, but it had happened, and no logic or anything else could change the validity of what we saw. We also never talked about it, because Bigfoot right? and years later when we saw each other, still neither one of us brought it up, but i'm sure it's all we were thinking about.

Yeah, seems legit, bigfoot must be real.
@@Austenite75
If Bigfoot existed it would be unique in a sense that it would be the most intelligent animal alive and be just as smart as us. All that brain power instead of going to useless stuff that humans use it for goes towards evading detection.
@@Austenite75
Bigfoot isn’t just some fish. It would be unlike any animal we’ve ever known. An animal as intelligent as people but instead of using its intelligence on dumb things like us it uses it to avoid detection.
My only issue with Big foot existing is the sheer amount of people looking for it for 20+years and still found nothing concrete. Since Patty in 1960s we found bodies of Colosal Squid and Giant Squid.
That's a fair enough argument, but I think you might not know just how big the wilderness still is. There are unbelievable amounts of land that go unseen for years in just the USA, and Canada is larger with a fraction of the people.

I couldn’t agree more! I happen to be in Klemtu, BC right now doing some Sasquatch investigation, and there are some fascinating stories in these parts.
I'm a major skeptic. I would just roll my eyes and never think of this again if it wasn't for that dang video of Patty. I've watched probably every analysis of that film footage and it just can't be debunked. Hollywood special effects and makeup artists of that time admitted they could never have made a suit that was that good, so if the best in the world couldn't have pulled it off, I pretty sure 2 cowboys couldn't have done it. Since there is really no other solid evidence of bigfoot, it's like the Patty footage can't exist - yet it does.
Very reasonable stance…the PG film is certainly hard to dismiss.
Glad to see skeptics acknowledge Patty would be extremely difficult to fake, if at all. My money's on real, a suit is incredibly unlikely showing Patty's features.

Even specialized guns can have a hard time with animals roughly as large and dense but much less thick, like Bison. That's all relevant only if they can see them for long enough to overcome their shock and decide to kill it.

I think Patty is a post natal female with an organ prolapse. That is possibly what you see portruding from her bottom. Pelvic organ prolapse occurs when the muscles and tissues that support the pelvic organs weaken during childbirth. particulary in individuals who have given birth many times. The organs drop down. Her breasts look heavy with milk too. The pale line on her thigh is not a fold in material. It's a wear pattern from walking with her thumb rubbing the fur or hair away. You can see her doing just that with her right hand. You can also see that the hair or fur is rucked up at the end of the pale line. Some people have said that this might be a muscle hernia but I think it is more likely to be displaced fur or hair.
An intriguing theory that certainly seems to make sense!
I always thought that line on the thigh was just the hair being swept back and forth, since the line seems to disappear abd reappear with each pass of her arm over it...
Yes ! I have always noticed that worn area on her outer right thigh ... evidently from years of repetitive swiping of her fingers as she walks ...
I see a pale line you say, but also see a clear inward fold. Like a costume over a thinner leg. It's very clear in the stabilized footage.
@@OverlordShamalait's hair, because from that distance, you wouldn't see any fold that small.
One if the things in the patterson/gimlin film that convinced was the proportions of the body, just observing the video. No human has arms that go down that far on their side. The torso is far too long for a humans body as well, and no human alive walks like that. If they managed to fake it that well in 1967 then they honestly deserve praise because they did a better job than Hollywood.
A guy with stilts, fake muscles, water balloons, and a tight suit looking like what Alan Sheppard wore in Jumanji (but with a caveman mask), could have done it. It is just skeptics don't bother to create a good suit.

"Many known animals, like gorillas, bears, even cougars, have relatively sparse fossil records in their current habitats."
But they do have them.
While it's true that species like gorillas, bears, and cougars have some fossil records, the extreme scarcity of these records highlights how elusive remains can be, especially in dense forest environments where Bigfoot is reported to live. Fossilization is an incredibly rare process that requires specific conditions not typically found in forests, where rapid decomposition and scavengers eliminate most traces.
Bigfoot is likely a highly intelligent, elusive forest-dweller. The lack of fossil evidence isn’t surprising-it's consistent with what we see for other large, rare animals in similar habitats. Known species like bears and cougars leave behind limited fossils, despite their abundance. Expecting abundant fossil evidence for an elusive species like Bigfoot, with a small population and a natural inclination to avoid humans, ignores the reality of how remains are preserved.
So yes, some known animals "do have" fossils, but that doesn’t undermine the point. Sparse fossil evidence proves how unlikely it is to find remains, even for known animals-let alone a rare creature like Bigfoot.
If you gathered up all of the fossil remains we've ever discovered belonging to gorillas, chimps, bonobos and orangutans, they wouldn't even fill up the trunk of a small sedan.
1) there are huge not-currently-seen primates in the fossil record 2) the raw numbers of bears and large cats alive at any given time throughout history makes this a misleading comparison, to the degree of actually disproving the point you're trying to make and bolstering Mr CITW. Divide the big cat fossils found in the americas by the total number of cats that have ever lived here and you'll see what I mean. There are up to 30k cougars alive now in the USA at a fraction of their historical population, which would have been small compared to prehistory in number and type. They live 10 years or so. Thus, millions upon millions have lived and died. Several other species have existed, also by the millions. And we have however many fossils.
There's probably never been more than 1500-2000 sasquatch alive in the whole of the Americas, and they probably live 6 to ten times as long as cats. let's even say they have the same intellect, family life, and environments so are equally likely per capita to be fossilized. So based on the number of cougars in the fossil record that you seem to be familiar with, how many apes would you expect to have found in the Americas by now? Do the same with bears. Almost a million bears at a very low point currently, birthing annually and dying at 20 years or so. How many bear fossils are there compared to the billions that have lived?
I have always lived in states with both cougars and black bears. Lots of them. Many thousands of each where I live now and they're quite concentrated due to the islands of habitat surrounded by desert. I have seen a grand total of one recent trackway for each species and two feeding sites each. Maybe five "dump" sites total. Definitely have never seen a bone. And I'm a hunter, I'm in their habitat often and at length. There are many millions of skunks and raccoons at any given time and I've only ever seen one skull between the two. What I'm saying is that the raw numbers make this poor contrary evidence.
@@cabininthewoods517 In spite of all that, my original point still stands. I'm simply pointing out a very real lack of evidence; you are trying to explain away said lack of evidence, while providing none of your own. With all due respect, that approach will remain conjecture, speculation, special pleading.
@jcarry5214 1. How many of those are from North America? More on that below.
2. Your point is well articulated, but not without its fair share of assumptions and wishful speculation arbitrarily designed to work in your favor. E.g., your Bigfoot population numbers of 1,500-2,000 are based on what exactly? And you conveniently forgot about the gorillas -- gorillas aren't rare, highly elusive, and live in inaccessible regions with low chance of fossilization, yet DO exist in the fossil record?
Both of you guys are also talking about, say, cougars in the fossil record as if those fossils all represent modern-day cougars. The rarity of a species today says little about its prevalence historically -- there is an abundance of Triceratops fossils, after all. Heck, mammal fossils from as late as the Pleistocene megafauna is very abundant! But, not only are there nothing resembling Bigfoot fossils, there also are no *primate* fossils in all of North America. Where, then, are Bigfoot's ancestors? You are assuming that its lineage was always quite rare throughout its evolution, and that the environment it lived in changed only very little over millions of years. (Needless to say, a species' "natural inclination to avoid humans" would have even less bearing on the probability of fossilization...) A series of remarkable coincidences like these can be freely made up in order to suit your predetermined conclusion, yet it necessarily remains pure speculation and wishful thinking. It's the kind of unsupported notion that cannot be taken seriously in scientific circles. The absence of evidence remains a constant.
You say that the forests of North America make for poor fossilization conditions. Well then, let's not confine ourselves to that continent alone. Back to point 1 above: You might speculate (!) that Bigfoot did not, in fact, evolve in North America, but crossed the Bering Strait only relatively recently in geological times. This only serves to move the problem one step farther, however. You may point to the sparse fossils of Gigantopithecus of Asia as a Bigfoot ancestor, but, existing so-called video evidence of Bigfoot does not resemble our current understanding of Gigantopithecus. Environments change over time and species change with them: there are a bunch of primate fossils spread across the world, from many millions of years old to quite recent. Which of these represent Bigfoot ancestors? I have seen no serious attempt to map this out (let alone concensus!), even though it should be relatively easy for an aficionado like yourself to at least speculate (!) on. But as with so much else concerning Bigfoot, there is nothing of real substance to support the enormity of the assertion.
None of the great apes have any fossil record.
well don't blame or even hate skeptics. me as long as there is no fossils or dead body decayed presented or captured then I would remain as skeptics. I respect those whom they said have seen once but it doesn't change my arguments
I totally understand where you're coming from, and it’s fair to want concrete physical evidence like fossils or a body. Open-minded skepticism is a healthy part of any investigation, and the lack of undeniable physical remains is a legitimate reason to remain unconvinced.
However, as I mentioned in the video it’s also worth noting that some animals are incredibly elusive, and the natural decay process in the wilderness can be very efficient.
So, while a body or fossil would indeed be the gold standard for proof, there are still thousands of reports, footprints, and other forms of evidence that suggest something worth investigating. It might not be enough to convince everyone, but it does keep the question open for those curious to explore it further. Thanks for keeping the discussion respectful-it’s great to have differing perspectives.
@@cabininthewoods517 i totally about that but there is no more best proof than what I've mentioned about. we humans digged up early civilizations who have been gone for centuries, went to remote island of indigenious cannibal tribe, dive to the deepest ocean and these so called BF are alive and not one proof. I really wanted to be true i really do. it's exiting for me but until now i guess i will remain as skeptic. But I wish in my lifetime someone would be able to capture alive, or even remained body of these BF so that this would be studied. there is more than meets the eye for these creatures
One thing you'll never be able to debunk w/ me is...I've never seen one. I've never seen anything even close. There's nothing wrong w/ being a skeptic. I'll believe it when I see it.
That’s the sort of skepticism I have zero issues with. The fact that you’re open to believing when you see is the mark of healthy skepticism. Unhealthy skepticism declares something absolutely does not exist regardless of evidence, then ridicules those with experiences to the contrary.
32 years hunting. Run 13 trail cameras year round. Hunted the Allegheny National forest for years. Never seen a single shred of evidence with my own eyes. Apparently we are just supposed to believe what people say because they said it. This is absolutely a cult.
That's healthy. And you're also not out here saying you that all evidence has to be fake because there's no proof yet. That's a fair way to be.
The one aspect that you didn't mention was that these creatures are nocturnal not diurnal. This is a trait among MANY cryptid creatures. It makes a BIG difference that these creatures roam around at night when we can't easily see them and we are usually asleep.
Yet most stories are told as happening during the day. Chill on you mental gymnastics and seek out a mental health professional because that's all this stuff is. No different than the flat earth cult.
The problem with the burying the dead theory is despite it being hard people have found those remains
Having done lots of hunting and fishing in my 65+ years, I have never seen evidence of anything out of the expected. Raised on a farm 20 minutes away from Salt Fork Nature Area in Ohio. I would not debate what I have never seen, however, I will believe it when I see it myself.
Perfectly reasonable stance. 🙂
Why disbelieve credible sources simply because you yourself are not the source? Patterson video for ex. So you won't believe it because you weren't personally there to see it?
@@walkerpercy8702 What credible sources? Don't you know extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence? Someone's 'say-so' isn't evidence, it's a claim and claims need to be verified.

Some go their whole lives not seeing a cougar. Same with bf.
Another point to make with regard to the low populations or detected low populations of Big Foot is that their cries and yelping can be heard for miles an aspect that may allow for small groups to maintain a surviving population at lower numbers.

Lived there 15 years.
I climbed the hill sides regularly.
And I have hunted in the Tioga and up at Lomolo.

@@Zeppelin927 How Plausible* fixed it for you.
Just because people claim they saw a ghost. Doesn't prove that ghosts exist. Personal stories without proof, are just stories. If your only "evidence" is a film from the 1960's. Well that's pretty lame IMO.
Comparing eyewitness accounts of ghosts to Sasquatch sightings misses an important distinction. The Patterson-Gimlin film is more than just a "story"; it’s evidence that has been analyzed for decades by professionals in biomechanics, anthropology, and film. Personal stories add to the cumulative data, but the evidence for Sasquatch also includes tracks, audio recordings, DNA and video analysis-not just anecdotes. Dismissing it all based on the date of one piece of evidence seems a bit shortsighted, don’t you think?
His whole argument is just begging the question fallacy with extra steps. LOL.
I’m a truck driver and i don’t think ppl realize how much wilderness is out there. It’s even endless wilderness on the packed east coast where most the ppl live. You go west of the Mississippi and civilization is few and far between. I’m willing to bet more than half the land is untouched. Because it’s definitely uninhabited
Not as untouched as you might think. As a northern California logger, and also being that I grew up in a forested area doing all kinds of stuff out in the woods my entire life, I've never seen a virgin forest. The only exceptions are if it was deliberately set aside as a protected wilderness or park or something.
In the PNW near Mt Rainier there are roads but besides that there are so many places where a human simply cannot traverse. I've been all around the roads in the NF and it's very tough terrain. The deer I would see there looked like they were on steroids. I had some very scary experiences also because I camped for months sometimes.
I love your videos, sir! Logical, well researched, and excellent presentation. Keep up the great work.
I used to be a believer and now I'm a skeptic. There is nothing new or ground breaking here. I've heard all of these arguments many times. Nothing here got "debunked." It isn't our job to prove that Bigfoot does not exist. It's your job to prove that Bigfoot DOES exist and that wasn't proved here.
The reason that I changed from believer to skeptic is time. I'm 55. Until I was about 25, I was a believer. Slowly over time I have changed my mind. It's just been too long with thousands of people trying all kinds of different methods to attempt to prove that this thing exists. Many of these methods have gotten a lot more sophisticated over the last few decades. Sure, they have collected a few unknown things like sounds, footprints, or hair samples. Wonderful, but that isn't proof. The PG film was 56 years ago and that is STILL the BEST photographic evidence we have? We should have found some more evidence by now.
Also the fact that a group of men skilled enough, haven't tracked it down and killed or captured one to rake in a fortune and be set the rest of their lives is laughable. If people are just running into them on trails and frequented national parks, some body that hunts and tracks for a living would have got one by now.
@@geminijim6655Yep. Rifle hunting seasons are happening all over the country, yet nobody ever sees one? These people are wild man.
Some, if not many, believers are emotionally invested too. It’s been a topic of great interest to me since I was a kid going back to the ‘60’s. Having studied the research by authors such as Sanderson, Krantz, Green, Meldrum, Bindernagel and many others, I was convinced that these creatures must exist. However, with the likelihood of irrefutable physical evidence surfacing with the passage of time yet still absent and the proliferation of cameras capable of capturing high quality images and video running almost everywhere and all of the time, I am now highly skeptical of the creature’s’ existence.
Cameras aren't covering much of the woods.
😅 What about cases where last bit of film shows an ape-like hand reaching from behind the camera, and twisting it away from the trail it was set to cover?
@joycebrewer4150 How would an ape possibly understand what a camera is and to avoid them? If you went back 200 years your average human would have no clue what a camera was or that the front of it was recording you. You can't "figure it out" without a lot of preexisting knowledge

I have a pretty nice phone with a good camera and while the newest phones can do some decent astrophotography now, it's still incredibly hard or even impossible to get a decent photo of things that are far away and moving fast, and even more so at night. Go ahead and get me an HD photo of an airplane in action with your cell phone without pulling up on an airport or setting up a shot because you don't know when and where you might see a UFO. Once you start getting over, idk, 7500 feet or so you're gonna have grainy photos where you can make out the features of a plane and it'll be worse the further the plane is and the more you zoom... just like UFOs lol.

Then I stumbled across "tree manipulations", heard sounds, then saw one but questioned what I saw here in New Hampshire! How can this be I thought... But then I found footprints! It was truly an OMG moment! Ive since retired and gone all in on this subject.... and happily have had some good fortune in my research activities

I found a dead female Mallard duck in Michigan that had partially buried itself to die.
It looked so peaceful.
I'm very sceptical of the idea from both theoretical and practical standpoints. If bigfoot exists it needs to evolve from something and there are no apes or Hominids in the Americas , there is also no fossil evidence of them there.
On the practical side, there are cameras everywhere and any significant animal will occasionally wander into suburbs and even cities, when they are hungry they come. I don't live in the US but I can say that the animals in my country are very shy so when I hiked I almost never seen any. But, when I worked as a security guard to get money for college I saw both in my eyes and in cameras the entire known managerie, garbage bins are too irresistible. When wild animals come into the city enough times they lose their shyness and can be seen walking in the light of day. Bigfoot somehow isn't seen this way...
A lot of hominids were right across the bering land bridge in Asia. They wouldn't have evolved from anything in North America.
@robertcoggeshall3071 Not exactly, the Hominids lived up to central China but not further then that. North-East Siberia was uninhabited until the last 20,000 years as it's the harshest region on earth outside Antarctica even in the current inter-glacial period. During glacial periods when Beringia is above the sea it's even harsher.
@@shlomomarkman6374 there have been hominids found all over Russia.

If Bigfoot existed, it would be in a zoo by now.
Do you know white sharks exist because you see them personally in aquariums?
I’ve seen one. Didn’t believe until then. There’s actually very good evidence out there but media and shows like “finding Bigfoot” bring shame and distract from actual research
I know that White sharks exists because I watch them on TH-cam go to Malibu Artist.
Watching them swim along with the people surfing is on another level.
I am a skeptic but I am not "extremely emotionally invested". There are many reasons to be skeptical but I do not consider those who believe as delusional unless we get to the really far out accounts. In talking about the lack of skeletons I have found them from coyote , fox , deer and badger.Many deer as well , of course, and I know of a bear that was found that had been hit by a car. Over the years I have spent a lot of time in the woods. So bones of other wildlife do exist and the teeth do not dissolve away. Some claim they bury their dead yet there is no physical evidence. Respectfully , you saying that the Patterson-Gimlin tape is "in my opinion proof beyond reasonable doubt" is not proof , but as you said , an opinion. The dermal ridges were shown many years ago to be the result of making fake prints out of latex. If the population is extremely small would there not be inbreeding ? Also, many people have claimed to see them in areas that are far from remote. There are many other things to discuss but the last I will talk about is Native American mythology and tradition. The list of nearly 200 different Native American names for Bigfoot were examined by Trey the Explainer and it was shown that all but a handful were creatures or beings that were not even close to Bigfoot. Some actually were dwarf characters. Many Native Americans in the comments were tired of their culture being interpreted by people who don't understand it. So to those that have seen Bigfoot I say please get some solid evidence such as a captive or a body. That will prove the skeptics wrong and I would love to be proven wrong. Meanwhile skeptics should not be attacked unless they are disrespectful.
Hi Kurt,
Thanks for sharing your thoughts-there are some fair points here, and I’d like to address a few of them.
1. Lack of Skeletal Remains: While you’ve found remains of smaller animals, Bigfoot, is likely an elusive apex species. Larger, rare animals like mountain lions and bears are also difficult to find remains of, as they tend to decompose or get scattered by scavengers in dense wilderness. Additionally, if Bigfoot exhibits behaviors similar to primates, it’s possible they avoid leaving remains or, as some suggest, may even bury their dead, which would further reduce the likelihood of finding bones.
2. Dermal Ridges: The claim that dermal ridges in Bigfoot prints are faked using latex has been debated, but several forensic analysts, including Jimmy Chilcutt, a fingerprint expert, found them to be consistent with living biological patterns, not typical of fakes. Dismissing these ridges as fakes oversimplifies a complex area of study where some experts see authenticity.
3. Population and Inbreeding: Many rare animals exist in small populations without rampant inbreeding due to genetic diversity, environmental adaptation, or migratory patterns. If Bigfoot populations exist in isolated pockets and occasionally interbreed with neighboring groups, it’s feasible they could avoid severe inbreeding effects. Nature has countless examples of small populations that survive despite low numbers.
4. Native American Accounts: While not all Native American legends align with Bigfoot as we know it, the consistency of large, hairy, bipedal creature stories across many tribes and regions-long before popular media-does provide a compelling cultural foundation. This isn't proof, of course, but it adds an intriguing layer of historical context that can’t be ignored.
5. Proof Beyond Reasonable Doubt: I understand your point about wanting a body or solid evidence, and many believers agree. However, high-quality footage, eyewitness accounts from credible individuals, and physical evidence like footprints have led some to find this "proof beyond reasonable doubt" in a legal sense, even if it doesn’t satisfy scientific consensus. Skepticism is fair, but a total dismissal of all evidence can overlook genuine areas of intrigue worth investigating.
Respectful discourse is always welcome, and skepticism is valuable-it pushes us all to seek more evidence. Thanks for the thoughtful comment.
@@cabininthewoods517 Thanks for your reply. Though I am a skeptic I will remain respectful of others. I would be so happy if some one could find a specimen and prove all the skeptics wrong.
I neither believe nor disbelieve the Bigfoot phenomenon at this point because I've never seen one (I am not a woodsman/camping type) though I've had solid paranormal experiences in other areas. Those who want "solid evidence" well, the fact is the Gimlin/Patterson film has NEVER really been debunked.
I wonder why so many of the "debunkers" seem to have such an obsession and mean-spirited verbiage. While there is certainly a lot of fake contemporary Bigfoot footage out there, there are still those clips that truly are WTF??
For example, that 2014 family holiday gathering in Minnesota where they noticed a Bigfoot and went outside is truly one of the pieces of real footage to me. When the small dog darts out to the location of the creature, there is a faint but BEASTLY low range growl (heard only on headphones) beyond in the treeline and the dog runs back immediately. I know video editing and that definitely is NOT an inserted track. It is organic to the original video. There is also the matter of the creature moving quickly and effortlessly (so that dismisses any idea of a "suit"). And the family didn't seem to act in a ridiculous way that the hoaxers do. The guy who uploaded it in 2014, he is only interested in motor toys and doesn't show any hint of being a computer geek. And back then how do you mess with 360p resolution anyway? No way they did "CGI" at home in that time.
The latex idea couldn't produce dermal ridges in a non human pattern, but are just a copy of a human foot. Some dermal ridges were likely dessication ridges, which is accidental from the plaster warping.
@@robertcoggeshall3071 I would also think that if fake tracks were partially made of bark, the bark ridges would look like dermal ones.
I have been interested in the Bigfoot mystery for well over 40 years. I am pretty much convinced that they exist. HOWEVER, the only objection I have to their existence is *caloric*. Whether carnivore, omnivore, or herbivore, the great size of the Sasquatch would necessitate that they would spend nearly every waking moment eating or searching for food. I should think their impact on flora alone would be demonstrative of their existence.
Moose and Elk can grow to be over 1300 lb.
@ Not sure as to your point. I do wilderness canoe trips in Maine and Canada and have seen literally hundreds of moose. And they definitely leave an impact on their environment.
Skeptics are very unconvincing dismissing the best bf evidence.
I tend to agree.
@@cabininthewoods517 To be fair, it is because Bigfoot researchers don't show the evidence to skeptics: they don't even show it on Discovery Communications, History, or Fox. The reason is because Bigfoot researchers preach to the choir.
@@robertcoggeshall3071 Did you say evidence or opinion?
@@WillRobinson-r7c evidence thats never been disproved- pg film, tracks showing heavy weight, sound recordings, and dermal ridges and skookum body print are among them.
It is possible there is some type of bipedal ape like creature living out in the deep woods. Until there is a body, teeth or bones to examine Bigfoot is just a myth. I do wish it would be proven beyond a shadow of a doubt. I hope people continue the search, collect more data and eyewitness accounts. For me the world would be a much more interesting place with Bigfoot in it.
Listen, what about trail cameras.
Thousands of them and they get great shots of all sorts of wildlife.
No squach on any of the thousands of trail cams
Couple theories out there stating that squatches may be hypersensitive to changes in their environment (like a camera in a tree where there wasn’t one last time they came through) or that they can potentially see the infrared sensors or beams on the cameras and thus stay far away from them or move wide around.
I’m a long-time skeptic, but there’s just too much evidence out there that can’t be classified as a known species to just wholesale write off “Bigfoot isn’t real.”
I look forward to being proven wrong by correctly identifying evidence or proven right by describing and classifying a Sasquatch eventually.
I stopped believing in Bigfoot when trail cameras became widely available.
They can pick-up the infrared signal and avoid them
No...they don't pick up infrared signals, that's just something you've made up to explain why they haven't been captured on trail cameras
@@terryharvey8020don't waste your breath on skeptics, they are as fanatical as the Spanish Inquisition in their convictions. It's just not worth the effort.
I doubt trail cameras are covering 5% of the wilderness. Anybody know of a sighting happening in front of a trail camera?🤨
@robertcoggeshall3071 pretty hard to pick up something that isn't real on camera
And most people only carry their cell phones which are worthless for taking pictures
I dont know where yall live but in central texas I find various skulls and bones in the woods all of the time.
Many birds, deer, hogs, and even a goat skull. Lots of bones i have no idea what they came from. Maybe its just a matter of the terrain since centex tegion has mostly alkaline soil and there is no thick deep forests really, like in Canada or PNW, or even east texas.
Also, I dont see what is so convincing about the patty film. Its obviously a guy in some kind of costume. It looks to me like its worn over the clothes of whoever it is in the suit. The arms dont look to long and it moves like a guy trying to look like he moves like an ape. There are far more convincing films imho.
That being said Im open to the idea that a relict hominid species could still exist, or possibly feral humans or something. I just dont tend to believe incredible stuff without some sort of unquestionable evidence to back it up. No crappy footage or tall tales will change that. Either I know for a fact that its true or its still an open question for me. Id have to see one myself and be close enough that there was no mistaking it was a real cryptid. Something seen at a distance wouldnt convince me unless something occurred that wss clearly something a guy in a suit couldnt do. Like move impossibly fast over rough terrain that a human couldnt negotiate or be in an extremely remote or inaccessible area.
No arguments or any other verbal exercise will ever convince me because I know that many, many people are straight lying, trying to con someone, or seeking attention etc almost all of the time, plus mental illness is rampant.
So, until there is body found or captured and examined by science and agreed by all to be geniune or I see it closely myself Im gonna take it with a grain of salt and say maybe maybe not and enjoy the tales like any other fictional entertaiment.
If this opinion offends you I dont consider your opinion to be really worthy of my consideration because you undoubtably fit into one of the categories I mentioned, sorry.
If i saw one i would never expect anyone to believe me and I certainly wouldnt make it my lifes work to convince people of what i saw.
Bob Heironimus was the guy in the suit in the Patterson-Gimlin Bigfoot film. The guy doesn't even have to try to walk like that, it is just his natutal way of walking and kinda unique. And with todays nightvision, drones, many bigfoot hunting shows, we would have captured one already. Also: bears are known to walk on 2 legs when a front paw gets hurt, have seen enough video's of that scenario.

Im sick of all the excuses from the BF community. Your “debunking” effort is extremely weak on almost all points, but take this one. There’s not a single reason to believe that standard wildlife photography procedures couldn’t capture a high quality image of one of these alleged creatures, especially given the 10s of thousands of encounters you cite, which are often reported by those with little or no, such wildlife photography training. If Bigfoot is so careless to be witnessed 10s of thousands of times by non-experts, then there’s absolutely zero excuse preventing a true wildlife photography effort from capturing the elusive images so coveted by the community.
Quite emotional over a work of “fiction”, aren’t we? 🙂
No, he's just right. Out of supposedly thousands of encounters not one single clear photo or video? Not one? Especially now that literally everyone has a high res multi lens camera in his pocket. It's getting pretty hard to ignore.
@@cabininthewoods517 He wasn't swearing, or putting people down, or using illogical arguments..Nothing emotional about his reasoning..Your using the same tactic your accusing others of..Avoiding the argument and making personal attacks..That is the mystery of Bigfoot..Many witnesses, foot prints, vocaliations..But zero conclusive video evidence, or a capture, or body, or skeletal remains..Which is more likely at this point..They are impossible to kill, record, or find or they don't exist ??

I will say this, I'm not convinced entirely that it's real, but the evidence that there's at the very least *something* going on is extremely compelling and I wish there was more mainstream discourse around the subject to that end. It's really not that kooky, it's one of the big remaining mysteries that nobody's really figured out an answer to.
I think they may travel in groups of threes. I can only say that from a single vocalization encounter I experienced.
I heard whoops coming from 3 different directions while elk hunting in Washington state.

Born and raised in the Pacific NW and have had encounters with several. It does change you, like you replied to the woman who suggested we shouldnt be focused on Bigfoots with the upheaval in the world. As a Christian, it's easy to let myself get distracted with the subject of Sasquatch. Some men and women have given up their entire lives to look for this creature. I don't think having Bigfoot as a hobby is any different than hiking or knitting. It's something you focus on in your spare time. Even if you made it your job, so what? Is the Lord first in your life? Are all of your husbandly responsibilities being met? Ok then. I thought this was an excellent video and I thank you for making it. We need to remember that God is sovereign over all, including who He sets up as rulers. Including wars, and rumors of wars. Including the current upheaval we are experiencing. I'm thankful I could take a few minutes from my day to watch a Bigfoot video. One day, we'll learn what they are! Pray for our country and our world. Trust in God and cling to Him. Seek Him and His Word in all things. You won't have anxiety or fear what is to come... Unless of course you see a Squatch again. They're terrifying to behold!
Thank you very much for this kind and thoughtful comment! I couldn’t agree more with each of your points. 🙂
@cabininthewoods517 it's hard for people who haven't seen them to understand. I struggled with what they are and whether or not they're demonic and trying to lead me astray from the Lord, like the woman believes might be happening to you. I've never experienced anything paranormal with them other than the infrasound I believe they emit when they don't want you in their area, so I cannot speak on that other than I have experienced many paranormal things in my life (especially before God saved me) separate from Bigfoots. They're flesh and blood creatures who I have personally smelled, heard and seen their tracks, watched them break and rustle branches and brush, I've felt the ground shake with bluff charges and them stomping the ground, and even felt one's growl reverberate throughout my entire body, make my knees buckle and I started to black out. I have gotten PTSD from them. One was 4 feet away from my vehicle, and I saw its ashy, charcoal gray skin underneath its dark brown/black hair. They've thrown rocks and fir cones and sticks at me, left me weird "gifts" on my deck in the same spot every time, screamed at me, herded me out of their area, I've seen little ones and teenagers and adults. If they are "the enemy" trying to lead us astray, it won't work on believers (Romans 8:38-39). Just be careful because not all of them are nice. Just like us and other animals like gorillas, they each have their own personality and temperament. I'm a female who spent ridiculous amounts of time in the woods in the same areas they happened to frequent, so I think that's why I was able to have as many encounters as I did. I wasn't a threat to them. They tolerated me. I've only told a few bigfoot researchers where to find them, and most of them looked at me like I was crazy. They seemed to have left the area due to encroachment. Sorry to ramble. I'm just saying, don't feel bad when people don't believe you or think you're crazy or straying from the Lord. They'll never understand until they see one. You can't see something that isn't supposed to exist and NOT have your world turned upside-down. Especially when you can't figure out what they are. They're definitely real, they're here, and in my humble opinion, should be left alone. Mankind screws up everything we touch. I wouldn't tell people where they are, even famous bigfoot researchers or scientists. Our government knows darn well they exist. Why they're trying to keep it from us is a rabbit hole for another day lol. God bless!

As for evidence, it is actually far simpler than most people make it. It is either verifiably sourced from a known origin, or it is not. Not knowing what something is, or knowing all the things it is not is not the same as knowing what thing it actually is.
For evidence to prove something specific (not just disprove a group of things), it has to be obtained from the source intended to be studied. If you're going to trust fingerprints, footprints, and hair samples, you MUST get them from the Sasquatch directly. Otherwise you cannot know Sasquatch left or created them.
I've never seen one so no I don't believe they EXIST!! Don't believe Patty exists either. I've hunted wild game for 50 years so it's a big resounding NO they do not. Entertaining though😂
You must be quite the hunter indeed to have visited all 300 million acres of untouched wilderness in North America! Which of course you must have done, since you’re so confident these creatures don’t exist. Strange though, how many career forest rangers swear you’re wrong. But hey, who are they to argue with your 50 years of experience seeing all 300 million acres? After all, this gives you a full 5.3 seconds to see each acre! Yep, no doubt about it - Bigfoot can’t possibly exist now! 🙂
@@cabininthewoods517 no punn itended lol, just saying he "bigfoot" man he's got to be the WORLD CHAMPION IN SOCIAL DISTANCING that's all, heavens I don't know anyone who has spotted one of these "creatures", although I am christian that may have something to do with my not seeing "bigfoot".
Hunters probably aren't covering 90% of the wilderness.
Said every hunter who witnessed Bigfoot in person, you deny it until you see it.
If bigfoot are carnivorous, there is a good chace they would follow same hunting principles and localities as human hunters.. and hence logically hunters sud be in the most advantageous position to spot one.. but there is no such sighting yet..
😂😂😂😂😂😂 best comical video ever made, keep up man, you're up to be one of the best comical youtubers ever
The biggest issue for Bigfoot would be the need for shelter , food sources and of course other of their kind to mate
population density is a major problem for me, and I really think I have heard them, I believe. But breeding is a big problem. The way I think right now is that we just don't have any idea of their range over the course of a couple years.
I'm not saying they aren't real but how do they survive the winters with no foot ware? If they don't use fire do they stay in caves to stay warm?
Great question! There are a few theories about how they might survive winter without fire or footwear. Some researchers suggest that, like other large mammals adapted to cold climates (think polar bears or yaks), Sasquatch might have a thick layer of body fat and dense, insulating fur to help retain body heat. Additionally, they may use natural shelters like caves, rock overhangs, or dense forests, which can offer protection from harsh weather. Moving to lower altitudes or using natural geothermal areas could also be strategies. Although these are all hypotheses, it would align with how known animals survive extreme climates without fire or modern shelter.
Why would they cover it up though? This is something I don't understand.
@@haraldthorson9153 Can you imagine what the repercussion of finding BF in the national parks? No campers, no money. Logging industry shutdown because of protective status of these critters.
Major hunt down for trophies would happen, what's the point? They do no harm to us, just avoid people. Or, if they're being hunted for, I don't want to think of them retaliating on hikers or residents in remote areas.
Watch a video of Bob Heirmonious walking. He said he did it, knows everyone involved in the film, and his gate matches exactly. The BEST evidence out there. Wake up people

It's not a "creature". It's a conscious being. It's highly intelligent. It's very well adapted for living without the need for any technology. We don't see them because they do not want to be seen.
Even Man is considered a creature, a creature that possesses intellect, emotions and volition. Somehow you have a strange understanding of the word.
I don't doubt nor do I necessarily believe they exist, but for the constant arguments about lack of clear photos, people that never spent time in forests don't understand HOW difficult it ACTUALLY is to film things that aren't directly near you: but our eyes, while not having great zoom, are binocular AND our brains use this to form a complete image surprisingly well; what looks to you like a clear-as-day figure quickly scattering away would look like something just moving between the leaves, if at all, not to mention the obvious that good luck pulling out your phone or camera & zooming in on something that's gone as soon as it sees a glimpse of you! If they exist they're probably some bizarrely well-adapted primate derivative & would use one of their improved sense, so they'll hear, smell or see any human activity or movement miles-prior. I must say, it'd be cool if they are real, though it's one of those things you never want to see because you either have to keep it to yourself since no-one believes you be frustrated that same people who believe in certain life just within our solar system say you're crazy to think there's another primate or human derivative still undiscovered, lol. But the real fear-factor & why some who claim they witnessed it but don't sound like they are lying are said they are kinda traumatised is because we literally don't know what it's like so the fear of un-known is severe I imagine! Creepiness to the max especially if it's highly intelligent, which sounds about right if it's so proliphic in avoidance of our kind.
Its not difficult. And certainly not difficult enough to have essentially zero "good" footage. Even photos.

What a silly comment
The funny thing about bigfoot evidence is that if it turns out it's a real creature, then it probably means much of the videos, reportings, and foot prints were real, in which case there actually were a ton of evidence this whole time, and most people just chose to ignore it.
I'm VERY sceptic by nature about everything, and I'm definitely not convinced about bigfoot either, but there is something about bigfoot that just seems real to me.
Most mythical/extinct/cryptozoological creatures have at best a handful of sightings, but bigfoot sightings are reported in the thousands.
What you said at 2:07. They are aware they need to stay hidden from the hairless ones...so they do.
Are you saying they're capable of walking without leaving prints? How come none of these witnesses every just simply go to where it was seen, and grab some pics, hair, ANYTHING.
Always just a story of a sighting that we should just gobble up because?
For many, many years there had been talk of people seeing massive hairy man like creatures living in the deepest parts of the unexplored mountains and wilderness. There were so many, in fact, that these rumors sparked enough of a fascination to be turned into sci fi stories, comics, and even monster of the week horror flicks. To any sane, logical, person of sound mind it was obvious that these were simply that, fictional stories.
Until one fateful day in 1902 it suddenly became much less obvious when a german with a rifle shot one of the beasts during an expedition into the Virunga mountains in east Africa. Unable to move the massive body of the creature he removed the head from the corpse and was able to bring it back with him, finally presenting undeniable evidence to the scientific community finally confirming the existence of the mountain gorilla.
History doesn't always repeat itself, but it certainly rhymes.

There are many rational explanations of rocks and boulders falling of a cliff. Bigfoot aint one of them, sadly 😅..
i just watched this at 5am and holy crap my guy you shouldn’t be doing debunking videos because this was really bad. i don’t believe mainly because there just hasn’t been anything brought forth and i don’t mean “my friend down the street told me he saw it”. that’s no proof it’s eye witnesses testimony(just in case you didn’t know eye witnesses are one of if not the most unreliable type of evidence) or it’ll be like the blurriest video ever made, i get it that it’s hard to record something(i disagree a bit but i know not everyone can be perfect with a video) but there’s been only grainy blurry pics and videos.
also the “most skeptics are emotionally invested” i think that’s kind of a straw man because i think most skeptics just don’t believe and move on with their day. it’s usually the believers who will do anything and everything to try to get you to believe in their stories i mean how many times have we seen flat earthers do the wildest jumps in logic to get anyone to believe them. i understand why believers are so emotional about it because no one wants to looks stupid but if you believed in santa claus until you were 50 then you were kind of stupid and tricked into believing it.
really i think this video was perfect for believers to keep hearing their echo chamber answers so they can feel validated. i’ll keep not believing until i see something, anything actually resembling proof not evidence. they’re different things, i know it might be hard to distinguish the two but there is a difference between them.
also to anyone who says “it’s a conspiracy to hide the truth” please answer me why would they? i mean seriously bigfoot isn’t a military secret or some political operation hell it’s not even something like mk-ultra. also you have to ask how is it that everyone is keeping silent because we all know the more people in on a conspiracy the higher the chances of leaks, i mean look at snowden it took awhile but someone finally spoke out about america spying on its citizens and he did that with the threat of death. i imagine there’s no cia kill order out on the bigfoot leakers because bigfoot is basically nothing to them, if it was real, there would definitely be a body of one by now.
however to all believers please prove me wrong go out there in bigfoot country and shoot one or capture one and get a billion dollars by showing it on the news and selling it to a scientific body. i would be happy for you guys if you did it. if you can’t even do that then you can’t every prove it beyond “I think I saw it so YOU should believe it”.
Show me a live animal or a real dead one, and then I will believe.

If I had to say, they probably don't move around a lot. With such thick fur and high body fat and muscle, they can probably survive the cold just fine, so they most likely make dens or nests
I think they migrate. The same creatures tracks have been found in different states.
Down to Disneyland every year would be a logical assumption. Warm and dry with a readily available food source what is not to love?
Look, I don't have even any argument. I just like to believe some folklore and mythical just because the "common" world is boring af
The existence of a great ape for over a hundred years was doubted. Many tribesmen, hunters, explorers, claimed "they'd heard the stories and folklore, but in all their years in the jungle, they'd never seen one and believed it didn't exist." Yet it did.
Yup you figure when an animal dies in the wilderness other animals will pick its body like wolves, coyotes, birds, all kinds of creatures eat it
Dude you can't debunk a debunk. People will argue even with a body
As good as skeptics debunking the film.
@robertcoggeshall3071 😂 cope, moron
You don't know that because none of you can produce one
I have no opinion whether bigfoot type creatures are real or not. However over 35 years I was driving at night in NSW Australia and bugger me. The only thing I could say was a black leopard ran across the road, stopped and stared at me I actually got of the car to look at it in the middle of the night. Oddly enough I had experience with leopards in all places way back then in the middle east. Still buggered all these years later that they may exist
Special pleading is not debunking.
By the same token, doubts easily answered with facts disprove nothing.
Do some actual research, troll
@cabininthewoods517 Doubts easily answered with facts also prove something
@@WillRobinson-r7cyou're an expert on proving nothing.
@robertcoggeshall3071 You don't like facts do you. Doesn't fit your narrative.
How would you feel if you and your family were getting along just fine living in the forest... and people started hunting you...
Not great I’d imagine. Good thing I wasn’t hunting them. 🙂
You lost a bit of credibility showing that sitting Colorado guy in a suit.
He was talking about hoax in the next few seconds
Maybe you just haven't been drinking enough there lad.
He was talking about fakes in that section.
Were you not listening to what he was saying?
How have sasquatches mastered the ability to warp in and out reality, and over distances.
Patty forgot to portal.
the video comes from train it's a fake. Thinker thunker did a video on it.
Great debunking!! I know they exist. I've seen them, heard them, and "felt" them. I live in the southeast. They do live in family groups, are highly intelligent, and highly organized.
Thanks for the kind words! I’d love to hear about your encounters sometime, if you’re willing to share. 🙂
lol.
@@cabininthewoods517 The sasquatch lived on my property from 2017 to 2020. So many things happened. I was totally unprepared for the encounters. Didn't know anything about the sasquatch and never thought about them.
But, it was almost like they made me acknowledge them. It started off with them "toying " with me. Then, I made them angry with me and they tortured me for about a month. It was terrifying. I woke up each day wondering if today was the day they'd get me. It was hell. You can't hide from the sasquatch. I tried. I covered all my windows with black plastic. I didn't go into my woods. I couldn't sleep, couldn't eat, I just operated on auto pilot, trying to be "normal". I surrounded my house with spotlights and game cams. It's true sasquatch hate game cams and can easily avoid them but they worked as deterrents.
I was so desperate for help. The only resource I had was the Internet. Finally, someone who truly knew about the sasquatch, told me to talk to them.
So, I did. I went to the wood line behind my house and just started talking. I was so scared and I know I was crying. As I spoke, they rose from their crouching positions. They look like tree stumps when they're crouched down. They stood and listened to me. They watched me take down all the lights and game cams. I took all the plastic off my windows too.
This day changed everything. They stopped hunting me. We lived in peace until developers came and destroyed over 300 acres of woodland that surrounded my property. I only have about 50 acres and some of that is for crops. Not enough room for the sasquatch to live. So, they left. It was a very sad day.
They still come through now and then but they don't stay long. I will always have a safe space for them.
@@drakejdf you're easily amused.
I’m on the fence if they exist , there would have to of been one caught by now.
When people say never any evidence that's evidence that they are aware of. This does not mean it's not there simply that these people are not privy to it. Great download, by the way.
Exactly... They're either lazy minded folk or intelligent cowards, who are in denial.
Olympic level mental gymnastics. Evidence or you're just larping. Period.
@TaCtiCaL323 Mental gymnastics is just your opinion. Are you privy to all evidence put forward on this subject and have you researched it?if not, you are performing said gymnastics.
@@christophermorales2445 Lmfao, sounding more and more like the flat earth cult every day.
@TaCtiCaL323 Believe what you will, it is of no account to me.
Always wondered if a Bigfoot was ever found in the tar pits or deep in permafrost layers like all sorts of other animals.
They just don't exist
Interesting take. I have to admit, it’s hard to argue with all the facts you cited. 🙂
How embarrassing for you
For the last 3 years ive been buying Bigfoot sized Nike sneakers and leaving them in known Bigfoot areas..All in the hope one day a picture emerges with one of them wearing some dope Sneaks
I genuinely love this plan.
@cabininthewoods517 thank you. I'm hoping it works and I get Bigfoot a Nike sponsorship so they can finally come out of the forest.
Pretty skeptical but this is actually a pretty interesting vid!
