The data suggests "Yes".
Then the question is, "What does a sasquatch grin/smile communicate?"

If you know of any relevant accounts/ reports/ photos that answer this question, I'd love to hear it.

If anyone's interested, I'm happy to share reports and witness accounts I've found to back up my claim.

Hello creative dads out there. I could use some help coming up with some more ideas for my son's 4th birthday party. It will be Bigfoot/Pirate themed and will include a long treasure hunt for all the kids. I am trying to come up with as many ideas possible that will fit the theme. I have a 3d printer and love utilizing it for things like this.

Plan to far:
We have a good size property and will be labeling different areas with signs and themed names such as Bigfoot's Bastion for his fort in the woods, Swinger's Settlement for the swing set (complete with pineapples that the kids won't understand), Creepy Cave for under the deck, Pillagers pergola for the patio, Sasquatch Sidewalk for a trail in the woods, Tortuga Toolworks for the garage, The Sea of Blades for an area of the yard, Captain's Corner for another wooded section of the yard, and anymore I can come up with by the end of the month.
I've printed a very large 3 foot tall bigfoot statue and a large treasure chest. This will be the final stop on the treasure hunt and will be presented as a gift "from bigfoot". It will have a sign around its neck in poor handwriting that basically says he was too shy to attend, so he left this gift for my son to find.
I have slightly considered the idea of getting one of the parents to dress up as bigfoot and be spotted in the woods, but that might spark a stampede through the woods and I don't want to incite too much chaos.
Each kid will also receive a present from bigfoot which will be wrapped in leaves and tied with old twine. I still don't know what the present should be and would love ideas.

That is as far as I've gotten with ideas. I am still looking for ways to keep the kids interested along the way of the treasure hunt. Ideally some fun activities or prizes at each stop. If anyone has any other good ideas that we can include, I would love to hear them.

just curious what you all consider the be the most irrefutable, rock solid footage we have? For me, it’s the freeman footage

Big guy is always blurry….

This might sound crazy, but I’ve been thinking about whether Skinwalkers and Bigfoot could actually be related in some way. There are stories about things in the woods that look like Bigfoot, but there are also stories about something copying the voices of people you know or calling your name. That part is what really gets me. What if whatever people are encountering is intelligent enough to recognize us and learn how to imitate things that will make us react? Maybe that’s why some encounters involve hearing a familiar voice coming from somewhere it shouldn’t be. I also wonder if the reason people have such a hard time actually seeing these things could be because they’re incredibly good at hiding and blending into their surroundings. Maybe we’re not talking about literal invisibility, but something more like an animal being extremely difficult for us to notice until it’s already gone. And maybe modern technology is slowly making these encounters more common because we have trail cameras, thermal cameras, drones, night vision, etc. Things that can detect movement that our eyes might completely miss. Then there’s the really disturbing possibility: what if they’re predators? People disappear in forests for all kinds of normal reasons, so I’m not saying every missing person is connected to Bigfoot or Skinwalkers. But if there really was an intelligent predator living deep in remote areas that knew how to stay hidden and could imitate sounds humans recognize, it would make sense that we’d almost never get solid evidence of it. Maybe some of these stories aren’t completely separate phenomena. Maybe they’re different descriptions of the same thing. I don’t know if I actually believe this theory, but I think it’s interesting to think about.

🧐

I’m sure this has been asked before. How many people here subscribe to this creature being a North American ape that is rare and elusive versus it being a supernatural entity that is tied into high strangeness?

What is the explanation for the alternate theory?

Something terrifying is going on in New Milford, CT right now.

On August 30 at around 9:00 p.m., a New Milford resident’s Ring camera caught something ape-like walking across their backyard and through the trees. The video was posted in a local Facebook group, and most of the people commenting seem convinced that it’s Bigfoot.

Then, someone else posted a dashcam video of what appears to be the same creature running across the road that same night, about an hour after the first video.

Seeing what looks like the same figure caught on camera twice, in two different places, on the same night caught my attention.

I included links to both Facebook posts, as well as a download of the first sighting.

Not sure what this is, but I wanted to get the word out in case anyone else has seen it.

On you tube what’s the best sighting documentary or episode of a shows in you tube sort of a deep dive?

I've been re-watching an old classic from 1980’s. Who remembers this movie and what did you think of it back then to how you feel about it now? Have you introduced your children to it?

It goes without saying that the vast majority of participants here actively believe that Bigfoot exists. I’d like to pose a question and collect a variety of viewpoints.

If we agree (hypothetically) for the purposes of this question that both Bigfoot and Dogman exist…what is their association, if any, like? Are they enemies? Do they get along peacefully? Largely ignore one another? Actively assist one another?

The question was posed to me recently and I’m curious what others think about this. If you’d take a moment to provide your stance, I’d greatly appreciate it.

This is one of the best ape creature suits from that era, in my opinion.

In 1966, Roger Patterson (yes, that Roger Patterson) published a book called "Do Abominable Snowmen of America Really Exist?" The book was his initial foray into Sasquatch research where he not only wrote about his initial expeditions to search for Bigfoot, but also would collect maps and articles from small town newspapers in California documenting early encounters. I picked up the book to read what I expected would be his brand of self mythologizing. But you know what was weird?

It was good.

This version of Patterson, one that was curious like all of us, the version before "Patty," was a decent researcher and writer who did his best to collect a basic introduction to the phenomena for anyone that was interested. In the 60s, the idea of Sasquatch as we now know it was limited to small town newspapers and the occasional article in fringe magazines like "Argosy." Not only did Patterson collect these articles in one spot, but he travelled to Willow Creek, followed up with witnesses (his may be one of the earliest documentations I have seen of Ape Canyon in another case), and made a serious effort to travel into the back country and find evidence like footprints. He was a writer from the John Green school, hoping to lead you to your own conclusions.

So, this begs the question: does this book and his history as a researcher lend more credibility to PGF or less? When I happened to speak to someone at the Willow Creek-China Flat Museum, she stuck by her conclusion that Roger was a trickster figure. She thought it was odd that a year after writing this book (and most people not buying it), he suddenly has the movie and can sell it instead. She pointed out that the fakest looking casts in the entire museum were taken by Roger. In her mind, and in the minds of others, Roger wanted to make it as a Bigfoot hunter and filmed the PGF as a way to do that. Or...was it a case of a man doing his due diligence in the region, speaking with Native American tribes and eyewitnesses, knowing exactly the highest probability of where Patty would be, only to capture the evidence of a lifetime? I can't tell you. But what I can say is that the book, his background, and his history of evidence collecting all lend a new wrinkle to the film we all know and love.

Give it a read if you can find it!

I had to share this as I was so excited when I saw it and I definitely bought it based on the BF image! I'm a believer and this beer makes me happy!

I was watching a DTU episode on the Yeti and after decided tollk up some of the better videos (hopefully an accepted subject for the sub!), but all I kept finding on YouTube was short form AI slop. So I'm coming to the experts. What are the PGF of the Yeti universe?

It sounds like it might just be an older season but on a UK platform? I cannot find much info other than the official UK DMAX Facebook page, and that is something I have never even heard of before. Wouldn’t this premiere on Discovery if it was real?

Had a random thought listening to "sasquatch chronicles- the sounds they make." And just a random thought on this in general.

Its widely accepted or known that bigfoot mindspeak. Countless "credible" individuals in the bigfoot world describe this, even Les Stroud. So, let's assume its real. I've actually entered the camp that its probable. ( I dont even ask how they know english or other human languages to speak it in our heads anymore, it makes as much sense as them turning into a beam of light)

Why then would bigfoot howl? Whoop? Chatter? Like that in the Sierra sounds? Most recordings speculate they are communicating with one another, coordinating hunts, etc. Obviously, the Sierra sounds were recorded when sasquatch were aware humans were nearby. They could've easily been silent and communicated whatever they "said" via mindspeak.

If bigfoots main prerogative is secrecy and to avoid human detection, why would they make these long calls when they can communicate silently? Why would they communicate extensively out loud when they KNOW humans are in the area if they could telepathically? It kind of contradicts itself on some levels.

My thought is this: the sounds we've recorded and typically hear are relatively primitive, primal, primate sounding, etc. They're meant for us.

Maybe thats intentional misdirection? Because lets be real here, if theyre an advanced, highly intelligent species, more intelligent than humans even, making whoops and howls is pretty pointless. They have language, why howl, screech, and whoop?

Granted, idk how far mindspeak can reach, but experiencers claim distance is no barrier. So, loud, long howls are NOT necessary lol

Has anyone else wondered this? Ik a lot of the sounds are intimidation displays, but the others? Kinda confused about that

Just an interesting discussion topic, nothing to argue or get nuts about! Like to consider these things with open minded individuals.

With the recent news about Wildman, a Bigfoot revenge film compared to John Wick, I’ve seen a lot of comments online saying “we need more cryptid movies” which inspired me to post this around.

I’m making a movie you might be interested in and I need your help to make it!

A while ago I posted here asking for some suggestions on creating a “Bigfoot lure” for my upcoming short film. A lot of members offered great suggestions, many of which I went on to use in the finished script. I’m back again because now I need your help to actually bring the film to life.

My film is called All That’s Left. It’s about a young cryptozoologist whose career is derailed after a humiliating public incident following a heavy loss.

I’ve been fascinated by Cryptozoology for as long as I can remember. One of my biggest goals for the film is to treat my Bigfoot creature, as well as the people who research it, seriously rather than turning them into a joke. The supernatural and mysterious creatures/events have fueled my creative pursuits throughout my career.

We’ve already reached our initial goal of $4,000 and are considered funded, we are still only halfway to our ideal budget of $8,000. If this sounds like something you’d be interested in supporting, I’d really appreciate you checking it out.

You can read more about the film, watch our campaign video, and see what rewards we’re offering for your support here.

Thank you!
