A giant wild man who has been terrorizing residents of Harrison Mills, near Vancouver, has caused revival of legends of a vanished race of "hairy mountain men," according to dispatches here today... ...Indians of the Ohelais Reserve asked about the creature, said that many years ago a whole tribe of the men lived in the region. They were called "Sasquatch" or "hairy mountain men/" They lived in caves and hunted with clubs and stones...

Hairy mountain men? I'm not sure how many of us there are.
How many Sasquatch do you think are still around in North America?

Perhaps, your analogy would equate to comparing a bunch of inbred hillbillies to a sequestered city of rocket scientists?
Could they exist on our planet if they were simply smarter than us? Or, perhaps, have command of matter, beyond what we have discovered to date?
I mean, I know we keep telling ourselves that we are the pinnacle of knowledge on this rock, but...What if we aren't?
What if we are the ants, scurrying around repairing our grand structures as one "act of God after another" keeps tearing them down, and they own the farm?
Just a thought...

Zero. Here is an exercise that might help you. How many Neanderthals lived in all the world? How many Denisovans? Were they able to hide from a very small population of people without technology?
Just because I want the point to stick I will answer. About 60-70,000 Neanderthals at their PEAK, in an area that encompassed all of Europe, Middle East, and some of Russia. They were easilly found and mated with and most likely slaughtered to extinction. Yet you think North America has 15,000 bigfoot that can't be found with modern day equipment?
It doesn't stretch credulity, it shatters it.

Let's stick to facts, as "what if" is pointless.

I don't think there are many of them. I think they are close to extinction if they exist. Maybe in areas far away from man like areas of Canada, Russia, around mountain regions, etc. I have never seen signs of anything other than the usual animals around here other than big cat tracks so I don't think there are any here. I have seen many strange people here though and I think I know them all. Birds of a feather flock together you know, I fit right in.
