Great point! The lack of physical evidence like bodies or fossils is one of the biggest arguments against Bigfoot's existence. It's definitely a mystery that keeps the debate alive! What do you think could explain the countless sightings and reported encounters? Could there be an aspect we're missing
@TheCompassMS I'm sure bears walking on hind legs, other animals would explain a number of it! People seeing something they can't explain. I'm sure alot of people are just plain untruthful, and alot I've seen are obvious hoaxes! Perhaps some are real sightings! No way for me to know for sure! I have lived in the bush my whole life, hunted and trapped! I have never, and no one I know has ever seen anything. Not even a track. I know what it takes to survive a harse winter put there. Almost froze to death trapping! A bipedal creature with snowshoes, a rifle and an axe, could never hunt for food! for months!! So I'm just not sure I guess. I'd never say they don't exist, but for me I need something more.
Footprints can all be faked. Sightings are easily mistaken identity or mis interpretation. Every psychologist and trial lawyer will tell you that eyewitness reports are the weakest evidence. People see things or miss seeing things when under stress, excitement, or fear. People also see things in abstract things. Like seeing Jesus in a piece of toast. It's called paradoelia. There is also apaphenia, erroneously seeing a nexus or connection betwen unrelated phenomena. People also engage in confirmation bias. If they believe in bigfoot, they will see a bigfoot. So they report a bigfoot. Give us a carcass. Give us a skull. Give us irrefutable evidence that science can examine, test, and determine facts instead of myths and legends. No one has ever lived in close proximity to any bigfoot like a Jane Goodall or Dianne Fossey so we know nothing about any such facts. Nothing. Nadda, nothing.
@truenorth1355 alot of bigfoot beleivers also say they have " clans" of them living in the bush beside them! Some say they hand feed them! Soem now say they have a cloaking ability! They travel thru different dimensions! Some say they play with their kids! I asked one guy how they survive the harse winters, he told me the migrate to California to eat oranges!
Cryptids might be mysterious or unreal, but the facts we share are based on reported sightings, cultural stories, and scientific theories. It's all about exploring the unknown and having fun with the mysteries of the world , Thank you! :)
