Fossils? Nope. Just always some guy who claims he’s seen one.

[GreenHornet]

With all of the wildfires we’ve had out west in recent years, how come nobody has ever seen Bigfoot running out of the woods to escape the fire?

[sodpoodle]

Probably has a fire-proof cave deep underground.

First, where are the woods?

Western NC wilderness or piedmont od coastal wilds?

I’ve been a Bigfoot obsessed fan since 1967, when the PG film was discovered. Few people even knew the lore until the mid 80’s. Before then, the average height reported was 7’. Today, suddenly, the average height reported is 9’ to 11’. The more I watch Moneymaker’s crew, the less I believe. Soon, there will be sightings in Hawaii. Anyway, why is it that when researchers interview eye witnesses, they NEVER, EVER ask “How does your sighting compare to the Patterson footage?”.

Is finding bigdoot or mountain monsters back in production?

O, for the love of.......there's no Bigfoot in North Carolina! Everyone knows he lives in the Pacific Northwest and the Shasta Mountain region of Northern California. Sheesh.

Yup! They call him Gilyuk, and the oral tradition of the natives there is he's extremely dangerous.

There sure ain't much else there. d;^)

Not as far as I know. The execs weren't too happy with Bobo Fay last year. I've never seen Mountain Monsters... Will have to check it out. The little kid in me still loves Bigfoot.

[thinden]

mountain monsters was a great production.

much more action than thumps & yelps on finding big foot.

there was another off shoot from mountain monsters “alaskan monsters” that was pretty “real” too.

created by same producers as “mountain monsters” same format.

another great show.

[LittleBillyInfidel]

Interesting! Thank you for sharing that, thinden! I’ll check it out, for sure. Also, do you have any favorite Bigfoot movies yet? I think I’ve seen most of them, but just curious...
