When it comes to twisted logic, this thread is the champion.

Throughout the thread the OP swears not to believe in Big Foot. She rightly states it is unexplained. Still, she implies it must be Big Foot because it couldn't possibly be anything else.

Yes a few of you have had some experiences with sketchy evidence, but, in the WV hollar I see nothing but an unexplained noise.

T Rex, give me a chance to play devils advocate for a moment. You bring up the fact that some ppls logic might appear to be flawed and I agree. One guy posted that he does not believe in bigfoot then advises the tree knocks are probably a predator trying to scare its prey. I see 2 separate problems with that. 1) I don't know of a predator that would put much effort in scaring its prey, instead they succeed by NOT scaring their prey so they might get close enough to make a meal out of them. 2) if we do accept that predators have to scare prey then we have to accept that they pick up a stick and hit a tree with it. Say what? If they can pick up a stick they need a hand and that limits our pool of suspects to a human or a primate doesn't it?

And I doubt it was cold enough in West Virginia the other night for trees to be popping all at once from the bitter cold.

I'm not a believer in the least for one big reason......

With millions of people going into the brush on a yearly basis, there is zero (0) evidence of anything unknown that might be remotely associated to a "Bigfoot".

There's alot of unexplained noises like Cathryn heard and I believe she heard something, but I disagree that it could be said myth.

I'm with hippie.
If one assumes bigfoot as the only option, you have bypassed the Ancient Alien Theory, of which there plenty of possibilities.
And there's equal "evidence" of Shapeshifters throughout history. This would explain no physical evidence as one can go from a human, to a monster, to a bird or to a bug. (or to a bigfoot maybe)
Skinwalker Ranch has a long history that goes waaayyyyy back.
You had to expect some jokes, I would have too.
But I would not be alarmed and don't think you need to be either.
Just don't get ABDUCTED !

Zero evidence?

Are tracks not evidence? Or are we dismissing “vermonsters” story and every one else’s that has seen tracks or the an animal that they say was Bigfoot. Even with the Patterson film people want more evidence. Myself included.

Skyrat..You're wrong.
Every word was 100% true.

4 people sent me pms relating their own firsthand experiences with similar situations. They didn't post their stories on the open forum because they are afraid what has happened to me and this thread would happen to them.

Thing is i dont give a crapk whether a bunch of guys on a forum believe my story or not.the

I debated posting it here. Jerry told me not to because he knew what a bunch of dicks were on this forum..he warned me. He w as right.sadly

It happened..i know it and Jerry knows it

I got some very open and honest answers and some very good Info via pm..thanks to the decent guys for the exchange of ideas.

To the jerks who just can't believe something like thia can happen..i hope it happens to you so you can see how it feels.


Make that 5 people that have pmd me about their firsthand experiences

Not to mention the only explanation she will accept is a squatch. This whole thread turned into a squatch thread.

Here is something, if a person couldn't move that fast, a squatch couldn't either.

Also, if it was only 60 yards away, why not run over there and see what it was?

Cathryn,
I believe you misunderstood one of my posts. Maybe read carefully what I replied, I have crazy things happening at my remote property in Alaska. I grew up in the woods and have hunted and fished my entire life and I cannot explain what is out there… Like I said, maybe you should reread my post.

Wow. So if someone doesn’t agree with what’s posted they’re in the wrong, lol? I believe in Sasquatch about as much as I believe in Black Panthers. I don’t make up stuff when I can’t explain something. There’s folks down here that SWEAR they’ve seen black panthers (black mountain lions) and they just don’t exist.
No doubt you heard something. Heck I hear stuff all the time and have no clue what it is, but I don’t let my imagination run wild and come up with something that just doesn’t exist. I’d more likely believe aliens before a squatch, lol.

Now if we were talking about lights in the sky, I've witnessed a couple things. No bigfeet though.

Started thinking about the appearance of the sound moving. WV is loaded with hollers right, echo maybe?
Then started thinking about a gobbler on the roost. That son of a gun can make you think he’s 300 yards away when he’s only 75 by facing the other way. Never went around hitting trees nor heard anyone hitting them from a distance. But I’d imagine the sound would be different if I hit it on one side vs the other…especially from a distance.

Just to be clear. I don't believe or disbelieve in squach, aliens, ghosts, or anything else that some swear by, but, have not been proven by the Dr Fauci type establishment.

i am only saying there is no evidence of anything in the OP story.
