I like to think that there is a Bigfoot out there. Have heard stories from reasonable people of tracks, “nests”, etc. A guy I worked with couldn’t make a job once as he had to travel 6 hours one-way to investigate a Bigfoot sighting with some air on a fence. With a University of Washington professor. He was a game warden. Made me think they either have WAY too large a budget, do a GREAT PR job, or they think there is something to it.
The other point some person made was (a skeptic on all of these types of things), what makes the human mind come up with these similar stories, across the globe and across the ages? That is an interesting take on it.
For me? I hope there is a Bigfoot; and I hope none ever are confirmed. Then it will just be the rare North American Ape - and what fun is that!? Plus, it will become the greatest friend the EPA and the envirowackos ever had!. “It does not matter if you have never seen a Bigfoot on your property. See these big trees? And the ferns? That is Bigfoot habitat.”
Their was air on MOST of the fence. A tuft of HAIR was caught on one of the barbs though - where the farmer had seen the creature walk over.
He never did say what the UW guy found with the DNA. First was “They are still doing the testing”, and later became “Yeah - I never heard.”
