Thanks for posting i fell asleep thinking no one was going to post to my thread
I had my doubts about the video also ..But i thought the Patterson video was deemed a hoax also ..But i always liked that video i thought it was one of the better ones.
The one i posted the BigFoot just looks to human in the way it walks and reacts but most are like that ..I just wish for a clear picture non fuzzy with at least 2 mins of the creature..time will tell i guess..peace,sugarcookie1
Psss...Wake up !
You prolly have a lap-top. I'd have to fall asleep sitting up at my desk. End up drooling all over myself.
Just want to let you know that the Patty film, has never been debunked and most likely never will be. You have to consider the fact that, it was filmed at an innocent time of the least technology. To this date that is the piece of evidence that debunkers can't refute. The history channel puts out a lot of disinfo on the subject and tried to say it was this big redneck dude in a suit. But that was proven to be the hoax. In fact the Patty film just becomes more convincing as technology exposes more of her.
I say Patty and her for a very good reason.
Did you notice the breasts when she turns to look at the camera ?

Very interesting thread, but you tricked me. From your title, I thought this was about the Hairy Beast mentioned in The Terra Papers, which explains that the Hairy Beast was the first genetically modified humans.
Could Bigfoot and The Terra Paper's Hairy Beast be one in the same?
I don't know, but I have always believed that Bigfoot does exist. After all, the smartest creature in the world knows how to hide from Man.

You can U2U me as well for any BF, Yeti, Sasquatch, Orang Pendek, related threads.
There's some rather interesting footage and claims regarding the big hairy guy/gal.
As you probably already know from your video, there's the Facebook page for Bigfoot where the poster is this FaceBook Find Bigfoot guy.
He's got a large series of videos describing morphology, and illustrating the differences in types of intelligence between our species and Bigfoot where BF supposedly has something similar to 'flash' memory.
The following is a fascinating video demonstrating chimp cognition and some of the aspects that are more superior to our own. It starts out slow, but it picks up after a few minutes and is jaw dropping in some respects.
I hope you enjoy.
Consider if there IS a Bigfoot, with a bigger brain case but similar cognition as demonstrated with chimpanzees, it's no wonder they're so elusive and good at continuing to be so.

Thank you. I'm glad you enjoyed the video. It's really amazing how a species we consider to be 'lesser' can outdo us in some areas of the cognitive arena we humans like to claim undisputed championship of.
I'd certainly be interested to see as well similar studies done with porpoise, and octopus in consideration that they are suppose to also have a certain degree of recognizable cognitive functioning.
I've added you on my friend list if that's okay, so as to possibly catch similar posts to this in case for some other reason I miss out through the usual means.

Considering that The Terra Papers are believed to be communicated to us from American Indians, maybe this and the Bigfoot beings aren't that different after all.
This is really far fetched, but humor me for a moment.
What if the bioengineered creatures that The Terra Papers mentions escaped one day while the rest were being destroyed. You would think that the escapees would eventually find each other and start breeding. Because they were originally bio-engineered, they are already well-equipped to survive the wilderness and haven't had a reason to evolve past their original design.
In The Terra Papers, it states that the scientist's brother tainted (introduced them to sex) the Hairy Beasts because he was jealous of his brother. As the story goes, the Hairy Beasts didn't want to work anymore (go figure) and the scientist had to start over again. I can't remember if the tainted Beasts were destroyed or not, but I'm pretty sure they were.

I am for the most part a skeptic, and it's my humble opinion that most cryptids are just legends passed along. Fairy tales, if you will.
Bigfoot, however, is one exception to the rule. Too many highly credible people have seen them, and some were up close and personal. With the technology available now, and the amount of bigfoot hunters out there, there should be plenty of photos. Even the rarest critters on the planet get caught on hidden trail cameras (The bay cat of Borneo and the strange looking Myanmar snub-nosed monkey are good examples)
As 'out there' as it sounds, I'm starting to entertain some of the Native American explanations that bigfoot is a magical creature that comes and goes from another dimension or something..
I saw a documentary about some bigfoot researchers in Washington state that found fresh bigfoot tracks in snow, and even heard it calling. They had a team of guys surrounding the area, cameras everywhere panning the area, and some of the best tracking dogs in the world. The bigfoot disappeared.
One of their crew was a die-hard skeptic till he heard it's calls. He said there was no doubt whatsoever it was the call of a great ape.

As far as I know, the giant panda & the mountain gorilla were both thought to be fairy tales & legends?
I can not believe no-one noticed that the den/nest was tied together with red string twine!?

Great thread sugarcookie1, fascinating subject.
Not very impressed with the video for many reasons (what can I say, I am a bit of a skeptic ), but the subject itself is a worthy one IMO. Nice to see acknowledgement of this as being a worldwide phenomena (quite an old one too), it seems to get a bit US/bigfoot centric at times. Understandable I suppose, due to numbers of US members.
I doubt remnant Neanderthal populations could account for this phenomena (due to the range they were thought to have lived in and the fact they were unlikely to fit the descriptions). This doesn't necessarily rule out other archaic hominids though like Denisovans, various versions of Homo Erectus etc. Perhaps they spread out further than previously thought? Or perhaps there is an entirely different cause altogether. Who knows?
I agree there is something responsible for all (or at least, many) of the sightings. What that might be is the fascinating part. So far it appears unlikely to be a biologically real creature, which IMO leaves.........who knows?

I actually saw this video before recently on a TV show. They re-created the guy walking down the mountain (it was actually the same mountain) and it looked almost the same. Especially when they put a backpack on him. But that dont mean there is no such thing as Bigfoot I believe its possible. It's just in this particular case I think its misidentifcation. (yeah I can't spell LOL)
The best that could be said about it is that it is a very poor quality film of a very contradictory creature that is claimed to be bigfoot, for which nothing has ever turned up which might point to it as being authentic
I think the US is actually one of the less likely areas for a creature like this to physically exist (especially avoiding mainstream detection). When you consider there have been claimed sightings from Hawaii also.........
