Here in Maine we don't have a bigfoot character, I suspect that there may be some local legend to it's existence...but in place of bigfoot we have tourists from all over, most cannot drive, meander about at ungodly hours and I haven't heard on play the fiddle yet.

How about THIS:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3aiajeejaxU&t=1s

There are tales of creatures like that here in Northern California. But no, I don't believe them at all. People believe in highly unlikely things like that because they want to. I, for instance, want to believe in the possibility of world peace and good-will, but everybody knows that's not real.

Ok.. Thanks for your comment.. as they say, "another county heard from''...!

Bigfoot is like Old Time music.. If you are 'into' it, then you can find it everywhere, but if you are NOT 'into' it, you don't even know it exists...

That is a good one, Snafu.. The survivalist, Tom Brown, himself, claims to have been that Devil.. disguised scaring people..

Seems every area has  stories to tell.. Tom has several books and some of them highlight the myth of the Jersey Devil. Check it out.

For those interested... here is a head start ( not for everybody, for sure)..podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/...520679444

During Covid lockdown, I'd put on one of these podcasts and walk back and forth in my home..listening.  Not only did I get in a few miles a day, I lost ten pounds..!! from all of the walking.. So.. Bigfoot podcasts are good for one's health.

I believe in this Bigfoot

Bigfoot

I am also open to the idea that there are lots of things we humans don't know or understand. 

Everywhere off the beaten track in Canada, sasquatches are always playing peekaboo and hide-and-seek with hunters, backwoodsmen, and even weekend campers. However, they seem to have a real aversion to biologists, game wardens, forest rangers, and anyone with a camera at the ready ....

I don't know about Bigfoot, but I'm a believer in the teapot that circles the sun...I mean, ya can't PROVE it's not up there.

Lived in Northern Nevada...Near the CA Border. Had a steep hill behind my house that was made up of a terrain of very sharp rock and loose dry dirt. Out walking my new Husky Puppy at sundown, she whined and stopped. Sniffed the air and started getting very nervous. I looked up the hill and saw a dark figure walking with a large stride up my hill faster and with grace, than any human could. It was covering ground and I stared at the thing feeling this was not "normal" (Had a brush fire up that hill and the very rugged in shape Fire Fighters were lucky to make 3 steps without slipping back or bending to grab rock to stay steady.) I shined my Mag bean up on it and it dropped to crouch in a ravine half way up. My blood ran cold when the eyes shined back at me and I saw it was hairy and not in a Northface coat, lol, then it ducked down. Ran the pup inside and slowly went back out. I shined the area I had last seen it. It came up about 50 feet further away from me down the ravine. It was dark at this point and it went to the side of the hill almost out of my site and started up again. I could see just an occasional body part. (insert Jokes here) Shoulder or maybe arm with a head that was 2 of mine together. Never a believer in this, but I will say it made my blood run cold and made me think of possibilities. Def have an open mind as to the whole B. Foot scenario. Never have before this.

An avid camper and RV fan I love to camp.  I do not however Hike at all.  My friends can not figure it out.  I finally showed them...Coolers and lounge chairs with drink holders are made for Campers.   SURVIVAL GEAR is made for hikers.  Case closed..  lol

I'm not so sure, Old Scratch. Here are a couple photos from a few years ago of a walk in the woods with my friend Lola the dog in Johnson county, TN. In the first photo, above Lola's head in the first clump of flame azalea you can see some kind of spook or goblin waving at us. To the left is the Sasquatch walking away through the woods (they're very shy you know). In the second photo shortly after, he's moved (very quietly) a little further away, but the goblin is still there. Lola is looking at me as if to say "Do you see that, my human friend?" I'm sure its not a bear because Lola hated bears and would have been after it in an instant

That's right!

If you've seen a video or picture of yours truly. You've seen a Bigfoot. I prefer Sasquatch. And lemme tell you, the daily grooming is a pain.

Steve, you've just solved the great mystery of the past two centuries...lol.

DougD Okay, that definitely proves there's goblins in the woods - but I knew that anyway! I'm afraid I can't really see anything else ... ?

Jokes about BIgfoot keep people who have had experiences from speaking up.. Fortunately, one person has related a story.. I highly respect that..  I knew I was opening a can of worms when I started this topic.. THe podcasts listed are of a very serious nature but not appreciated by most people..

I really didn't understand Doug's photos...I mean...my vision ain't that great, but I didn't see anything at all...except the little dog.

If you can find any difference between photo one and photo two, you 'll be a prodigy.. Kickin' myself for wasting my time with that one!!

Oh, that reminds me: where's Waldo?
