The department of Natural Resources would be well aware of the existence of these creatures. There are many stories of Bodies that get taken away by the Government, never to be heard of again. The situation is much deeper than what most people realize. Every year unexplained kidnappings happen in National Forests that defy common logic. The National Park Service doesn't even want people to know about such cases. They claim they keep no track record of these kidnappings, but what sort of agency wouldn't keep a record of search and rescues?

It would be highly beneficial for people to know what lurks in North American forests. Proving the reality surrounding Sasquatch will be a step forward.

Unexplained disappearances occur, since when does the NPS keep track of kidnappings? That would be the FBI if I remember correctly. The NPS does keep track of people who have gone missing, that way when they find their body washed up under one of the falls at Yellowstone 5 months later, they can identify them by what they were wearing.

PS Parnassus I bought that Death at Yellowstone book

I don't know, but when people hit a moose or a bear on the road, they contact either the police or DNR. The body would inevitably end up with the government and from there they would decide where to go with it.

Yosemite National Park and Crater Lake National Park are at the top of the list for disappearances. It's something we don't see in the news. Guys, google "yosemite missing people" and you'll get literally countless cases of people who fall off a cliff, that go down a waterfall, get their bodies stuffed in crevices ect. The same thing happens all over the Country. Places like Washington state and Vancouver Island are notorious for these types of cases.

Now you conveniently talk about people falling off cliffs, whereas above you were saying 'kidnappings happen all the time'

The art of playing "cowardly and stupid" is in seeing how far you can push the act. Does this person know that people lived alongside gorillas for thousands of years in Africa, killing them for meat with primitive tools? Of course. This person also knows gorillas are smart enough to learn American Sign Language and use logic.

A couple thousand years ago they'd stick lions, tigers, gorillas - all manner of wild beast - into the Coliseum with a gladiator. They had an extensive underground network of tunnels and lifts so an 800 lb tiger could be made to pop up out of nowhere. You could watch a guy with a sword take him on.

That's why I don't buy the posturing. Because it is playing dumb and cowardly at such a scale so far removed from reality that it can't be true on the face of it.

Chain-yanking.

Beat you to it.

The kidnappings in national forests - hey, there's some good ones. How 'bout that Champion ski/shooter athlete who was kidnapped for breeding with the father/son combo. I think she was jogging and they took her at gunpoint. They killed one of her would-be rescuers and shot her by accident when she was tied up to a tree.

If you look into some of the serial killer kidnappings, you have the likes of Charles Ng and his partner. They built a room to keep them in and tortured/raped/filmed it all. Or that guy in Australia. He just robbed 'em and shot them. Who was the girl seeing the congressman that disappeared and was found in the park finally - raped and killed...

Here again, so much of real life in the parks/forests is more dramatic, ghastly, scary than bigfoot.

^And it's publicized, not kept quiet. I remember doing field in a national park many years ago in which a couple of female campers had been stabbed and killed. It was all over the news and there were alerts at the park headquarters.

Ontario, I'm not sure why you accept these nonsense stories uncritically. This is why several folks here have concluded that you must be trolling. It's difficult for us to believe that a living human could be as gullible as you seem to be. Here's a hint: the next time you encounter some "factoid" like the number of kidnappings in a national park, follow to the source and confirm that such an event happened at all.

Given the body structure seen in the PGF, eye-witness drawings, reported behaviour and analyzed DNA, I would say they're humans and not gorillas (if they exist, of course). There's no proof for any of this, but it might change soon. Today 05:02 PM
Fixed both posts for you.

Yet P&G had no trouble filming one? I never got the impression they were 'sneaking' either.

That's what we call a paranoid conspiracy theory. And it's also a dishonest argument. It's the same kind of stupid nonsense the UFOlien believers try to pull when they say all the blacked out stuff in the documents is the proof of their claims. It's blacked out. It's nothing! You're using the lack of evidence to support your belief. In addition you're making excuses about why there is no evidence, and adding that to your argument as if more and more nonsense will eventually make sense.

If bodies are "taken away by the government never to be heard rom again" then who is confirming them as kidnappings?

This might actually be dumber then the scared hunters story so I am all ears.

That's a slap in the face to every family who has had their son or daughter go missing in a National Forest. Given the cases, at the very least it's worthy of further investigation.

When a 2 year old is found valleys away from where they disappeared, is it anything other than a kidnapping?

It may be a kidnaping by someone but it is pretty hard to suggest that such a case adds to the numbers of secret government operations and disappeared bodies that nobody is supposed to know about.

No, it's a slap in the face to use such tragedies to promote your conspiracy theories, and further your own agenda, just like a psychic who uses abductions to get media attention. Stop distorting what others have said and start examining your own motives.

Honest guys, there is evidence, I just cant post it becauz the dog stole my homework, errr I lost it in the wash. Honest, this whole thread wasnt a big troll attempt. They's real. I's seen em.



Meanwhile... Requests for ANY "evidence of bigfoot" have been either ignored, or nonsense. There is no "evidence of bigfoot". There is only evidence of imaginations, and wishful thinking, confirmation bias and sometimes internet trolling. Like this entire thread you started.


Can you post one piece of "bigfoot evidence" please to substantiate your claims? A specific piece please, that actually exists.

You're presenting a paranoid conspiracy theory. You go tell the parents of a missing 2 year old that some department of natural resources is keeping secrets about Bigfoot tromping around in the woods. You tell them that unexplained kidnappings are happening which the National Park Service doesn't want people to know about. You tell those parents of that missing 2 year old that some official agency claims to have no records of mysterious kidnappings and somehow that might be related to their missing child.

Do you even stop to read what you write before you hit the "Submit Reply" button? Your reply is a slap in the face to anyone who has ever had a loved one go missing in the woods and a slap in the face to every agency and park service that oversees the natural resources. Your argument is, by definition, a conspiracy theory. No intelligent person applying even a whit of objective consideration would find your position rational. Quite simply, you've jumped off the deep end. Your claims are not sane.

I was really hoping the underlined bit would be a link to some evidence. Once again this thread disappoints.

What are talking about? Is this an actual thing that happened or did you make this up as a hypothetical?

Actually, the toddler was being used by a Bigfoot hunting group, Recording of the baby didn't work, so they borrowed the kid, and left him out overnight hoping to bring in 'Squatches'

At this point its just watching a train wreck.

I think you may have coined a new term, as in....

"My crazy uncle said he had proof of an alien abduction, but it just turned out to be a bigfoot steak."

or

"Robert Prey's evidence of a grassy knoll shooter is nothing more than bigfoot steak."

OntarioSquatch...You use a lot of information from people that we know nothing about. For example, that story is one that David Paulides talks about a lot and uses in his book.
Since you obviously believe these people without reservation, perhaps you can tell us about Mr. David Paulides; specifically, his work history and academic qualifications (if any) and why you would believe anything he tells you.

meanwhile... Requests for any "evidence of bigfoot" have been either ignored, or nonsense. There is no "evidence of bigfoot". There is only evidence of imaginations, and wishful thinking, confirmation bias and sometimes internet trolling. Like this entire thread you started.


Can you post one piece of "bigfoot evidence" please to substantiate your claims? A specific piece please, that actually exists.

I love it!

I have never coined a phrase before so I really hope this one sticks cause its the last item on my bucket list.

"A nigerian prince promised me 3,000,000 U.S. dollars (three million) but all I got was a bigfoot steak."

Those clever bigfeet kidnaped the boy for their own nefarious ends and then moved the body a couple of miles so that it would look like a botched government job. Or wait, the government disappeared the kid as part of their known policy of kidnaping people and making them disappear without a trace and then they transported the body a couple of miles so that we would....think it was clever bigfeet. Well, I dunno, but there must be a conspiracy somewhere.

Because after having shot one bigfoot and searching for it for an hour or more they shot a second bigfoot and instantly decided someone had heard the second shot and they would be in trouble for shooting bigfoot because they only had deer and bear tags. Then they moved the second body and partially buried it without taking a trophy. This is in spite of the stated fact that the second one was shot for the sole reason of recovering a trophy because no one would believe they shot the first one. Duh!

I once shot a Bigfoot. But, unfortunately, it rolled off a cliff. I went to the bottom and the body was nowhere to be found!

Well DL that is unfortunate.. very unfortunate. Indeed it was the bounce that caused that to occur. Many have had that happen if it is any consolation ?

You know, now that you've written that out like you have, I see that these guys with guns have stumbled onto, not one but two Figboots, which, like 99.999999999999999999999999999 (Oh crap, where's that infinity key? Screw it, call it 100)% of the people of the Earth have never ever EVER seen any proof of, in a matter of a couple hours no less. They manage to pop off two near enough to perfect shots (Let's face it, if it happened and they freaking HIT the phantom Figboots for crying out loud, That's close enough to perfect for this scenario.) and still they failed to get anything beyond a generously named "steak"? It's worse than dumb. You couldn't pitch this story to Ed Wood and be taken seriously.

I guess when it actually has ?

This thread has "Jumped the Shark". National Park Kidnappings, repetitive BF talking points, the claim of being 18 yrs of age, the repetitive BFF non evidence, the lack of any meaningful reply to the countless requests to provide some substance to the opinion and factual statements. Goverment conspiracies, facts propounded that are fiction. .. the list can go on..

You did well OS . You were able to get some attention.
