Mountain Monsters was my favorite TV show. I was addicted to it. I literally have it playing in the background almost daily. Faker than a $3 bill, but for some reason I found it highly entertaining until they jumped the shark with that Rogue Team plot and ruined it. Seasons 1 - 3 are great.
I wish they'd bring the show back.

That just made my day! I thought the show was dead. I see they got moved from Destination America to the Travel Channel.
Can't wait to see the new monsters and the trap builds.
I wish they'd bring back Alaska Monsters and Swamp Monsters too.

It wouldn't surprise me if there USED TO BE a bigfoot like creature that is now extinct. I find it odd pretty much every culture on the globe has their version of Bigfoot, Sasquatch, Yeti, etc.
However, I have a hard time believing any exist. At least anywhere near civilization. I can see one being found in the remote wilderness of Alaska or Siberia, but no way I am believing some hick in the middle of Kentucky sees one. Given all the cameras, drones, cell phones, and just sheer number of people around, even remote areas of the US, it is unlikely a 8 or 10 foot tall hairy creature is able to stay hidden.
Even the most elusive creatures like mountain lions, etc get caught on trail cameras all the time. Bigfoot must have some sort of jamming technology that prevents people from taking pictures that aren't with an Iphone 1 that has vaseline smeared on the lens....
I got a cell phone camera that see a pimple on a fly's butt but none of the people who alledgely see these things ever have a camera with more than 1 mega pixel.
Get a map and look at how much America is covered in forest. There is still large swathes of forest that haven't been touched by humans. Most hunters will tell you finding a dead anything in the forest is damn near impossible. It's absurd to think it is not possible for a Bigfoot to exist. Regardless of popular perception the world is bigger than many think. The people that do take pictures no one believes. And the people that don't take a picture aren't believed either.
I mean, we discovered a new giant gorilla in 2004.
I'm aware of how big the US is and much of it unpopulated. However, it still doesn't change the fact that it is statistically nearly impossible for an animal purported to be the size of a bigfoot to remain hidden. We haven't even gotten into the fact you'd need multiple Bigfoots for breeding or the amount of food required to sustain an animal that size.
You see dead animals (or traces) of them all the time in the wilderness. However, heat, maggots, and other scavengers can make quick work of a dead animal carcass.
There hasn't been any significant discoveries of entirely new large species in like 100 years. I am not talking about some small variation on an already known animal, but completely new unseen large animal.
Like I said, I can concede that maybe in some super super remote area of a place like Alaska or Siberia where you may not have another human for say 100 miles in any direction (much less a fully developed city), it might be possible. However, I still think unlikely.

my son and went camping and hiking at mammoth cave park in Feb. a few years ago we were camped on the green river it was warm lows around 50 there was one other couple and there kids camped a couple hundred yards down river we were sitting around the fire after dark when we heard this loud noise it's hard to describe but it was real loud you could of heard it a mile away and we where several mi.back in the woods it sounded kinda like a primate a whoop whoop and then a roar or howl I've heard mountain lions and Bobcats it was neither it sounded like you would imagine a bigfoot sounding like and it didn't sound like any noise a human could make there was a creek feeding into the river there between us and the noise and a ferry crossing that was shut down for the winter with a huge bright light shining down on the river we just wrote it off as some locals with a loudspeaker trying to scare us but we slept with our handguns close the next day the couple left and 2 young girls came and set up camp closer to the ferry crossing after hiking that day my son and I where sitting around I'd say 8 or 9 PM when we heard the same thing except it seemed more violent my son said it sounds like its killing something so with the creek between us and a 700 lum flashlight I got my 45 and decided to look and see if I could see anything I was walking by the girls camp and they were asking if I heard that and I said yes that I was going to check it out I started into the woods and these girl are following me I asked what they were doing and told them to go back to there camp and to never follow a stranger with a gun into the woods I went to the creek shined around didnt see anything so went back to camp sat down with my son talking and looking out towards the river and this orb or light just come floating across the river somewhere between the size of a softball and soccer ball it wasnt a flashlight it was a ball of light it was maybe 20 ft. or so up off the river not a straight line just floating I asked my son if he seen it and he said yes it floated under the big ferry light and you could still see it fine it floated up into the limbs of a big sycamore tree just in and out of them and up toward the top and then just floated off out of sight I could maybe write off the howls as someone trying to scare us but the ball of light I can't explain the sad part is we both had cell phones with good cameras and neither one of us thought about getting them I'm thinking about going back this wkend if the weather is decent I'll keep my camera ready this time
