Bob - this is a paranormal forum. If we had the empirical evidence to prove any of this stuff (ufos, ghosts, cryptids, slenderman, whatever) then none of us would be here to talk about these things - we'd be debating them on the science forums instead. So comments like this are more appropriate for this site: Metabunkok I will challenge you! produce a body. have the body shipped to a university. should it be confirmed as a REAL bigfoot I will cut you a check for $100 bucks!
sooo go!
produce a body!
First of all, @sasysquatchgirl, that was hilarious =)

I don't want The Paracast forums to become Metabunk.v.2.0., and neither should you.
That's a straw man argument Bob: nobody supports the hoaxers who are associated with every one of the subjects that we discuss here. Just because some detestable frauds create fake ufo photos/videos and others produce fake Bigfoot photos/videos, doesn't mean that there are no legitimate ufos or Bigfoot sightings.so lets get this straight. Do you support the efforts of Billy Mier? Of Rick Dyer? of The twins that shall not be named?
I ask for Proof because there is NONE. Bigfoot does Not exist. And your statements support the continuation of fraud, hoaxes and scams. Wild claims Demand evidence. I saw a craft. I do not say it was Alien, because there is no proof it was Alien. Do you support a hoax free topic? If yes then Welcome to reality.
The problem with this is the same problem which is plaguing the UFO community currently (though its slowly changing). You're assuming that bigfoot is a flesh and blood creature like a deer. When in fact, more and more researchers are begin to believe that something much more deep and profound is going on. There are tracks which stop for no reason (in the snow even), there are a number of seemingly credible witnesses who report some sort of telepathic communication with this creature. There are accounts telling that the creature simply dissappeared right before there very eyes. All sorts of bizarre phenomena which really make no sense. Certainly don't make sense if its a flesh and blood creature that is. We see similar types of phenomena from "aliens." The cryptozoology phenomenon shares a lot of commonality with other paranormal events (such as UFO's). You need to expand your thinking and realize that there is no proof for anything on these forums, as Thomas rightfully suggested. If you spend enough time going through the accounts of encounters of bigfoot, ranging from hikers to police officers etc, you'll find that the testimonial evidence is not in any way weaker with Bigfoot than it is with the UFO phenomenon. Both have strong witness testimony from reliable witnesses. But both have no proof, and very weak scientific evidence to support the claims of the witnesses (though there is some, in both cases). You also have the legends of nearly every native tribe which speaks of these creatures as if they were very real, and generally are not referred to in the same stories as the creatures of their myths, but rather are spoken of quite frankly as being real. These sorts of creatures are also reported widescale in Europe and in Asia (particularly amongst native populations.) All of this is not easily explained away.ok I will challenge you! produce a body. have the body shipped to a university. should it be confirmed as a REAL bigfoot I will cut you a check for $100 bucks!
