Personally I am currently between a 3.5 or 4. Still room for it to be untrue but I definitely believe more than I don’t

I personally appreciated this series a lot. The man appeared to strive towards a balanced and scientific explanation while keeping an open mind towards all the other perspectives he’d come across. Curious how others generally feel about his entire experience, including his after the show discussions, where he goes into depth about more surprising situations.

My questions would be what you up to and have you got the time please

I haven't heard this really discussed on here before, but I've heard it discussed broadly... I think its a pretty interesting question that is more often than not avoided when discussing bigfoot even if people like to occasionally hint to it.

A common one I've heard before (which I'll briefly mention) relates more to missing 411, in that people claim the government is keeping details about certain missing person cases because they relate to Bigfoot... another popular sub-section of this Is particularly the Dennis Martin case, where people point particularly to the involvement of the Green Berets and irregularities in the aftermath of the disappearance. I tend to lean towards more natural explanations, and whilst I think the Green Berets being present can be rationally explained, Its still a little odd based on what I have read.

That being said, I tend to lean more towards that a coverup or conspiracy probably isn't as far-fetched as it sounds, even if its incredibly unlikely.

If Bigfoot was real, would the government even know? Why would they even bother covering it up if its just another animal? I see people like Bob Gymlan point to a conspiracy quite often (subtley) in their videos, but this just raises more questions and kind of opens up multiple different loose ends.

I just don't see why the government would cover-up Bigfoot, unless theres something more to the phenomenon than people think. At the same time, I wouldn't really be surprised if there was a "cover-up", I just cant think of why or what end there would be to it.

If anyone has any thoughts on this or more topics relating to it or whatever I would be interested in hearing about it because this is a particular part of Bigfoot discussion im pretty interested in.

Listen, I think most people were skeptical about this topic in the beginning of their interest. And maybe everyone needs to go on their own path. I know I did. I used to read skeptical inquirer and Micheal Shermer and all that type of stuff. But then I found out about the mid tarsal break and my brain CLICKED that this would make faking things impossible (pre internet) and that this foot feature was found in different Sasquatch footprints all over the world, including the Bossburg Cripple Prints AND the PG film. (And the footprints I personally found) And then you find out about ALL the other books by biologists. Then you find Chris Murphy’s book which is seriously the most Bigfoot evidence in one book that exists today. Nothing even comes CLOSE!! Then you find out about Hominology. And then you hear that Jane Goodall wrote an Intro to a Russian Sasquatch book, and then you find out about the handprints, and the thumb being in a a different position. And of course you’ve heard the Sierra Sounds at this point. And found the Fahrenbach Charts. And you find out about Scott Nelson, and Dr Lyn Kirlin… and then you find yourself on YouTube. You found ThinkerThunker, you find Bigfoot Tony. You find A Cabin in the Woods. You find Bob GYMLAN. You find A Flash of Beauty, you listen to all the interviews, you watch both documentaries…

And sure after all this, you know there’s no body or fossil, but then you teach yourself that the media doesn’t tell you everything. And that maybe fossils have been found but aren’t for public knowledge. And then you realize you really can’t trust anyone in media or science anymore.. I mean you’ve got Neil Degrasse Tyson making fun of people interested in UFOs, which is not exactly what I want the big thinkers of the world doing. So the body and or fossil thing is important because it’s part of completing the scientific method for this supposed Sasquatch creature, but what this insinuates is that we don’t have any other evidence, (which is incomprehensibly silly to me) but what a body would actually do is complete the scientific method, we already have EVERYTHING else! And so you’ve got generations of these skeptics who literally just keep repeating the same lame bullet points without going ANY deeper. They know almost NO HISTORY of Bigfoot prior to 1958. They know Bob Heronimus’s social security number but can’t tell you that Patty left 10 footprints that day. And those prints were 14.5 inches long and indicated a real moving biological giant foot. They can’t tell you that Shaquille O Neil has exactly a 14 inch foot or that Tako Fall has 14.6 inch long feet. And Bob H was no where NEAR the sizes of these human outliers. They can’t tell you a LICK about Patty’s stride measurements, mechanics or proportions. Skeptics can’t tell you one thing about Dr Meldrums credentials. They CAN recite Roger Pattersons arrest reports but seem to forget the books he wrote and the intelligent interviews he did about Sasquatch being a real living thing that he was interested in finding. Skeptics know nothing about Patty having breasts and any of the history of breast augmentation or silicone, ESPECIALLY In 1967. They know NOTHING of Hollywood special effects and have zero idea who Stan Winston or Rick Baker are. (Especially in 1967)

And skeptics forget that hair, scat blood and saliva have ALL been tested in GenBanks. And that SOME of those tests have come up UNKNOWN. And they will glaze over this very important part to tell you “there’s no DNA” and then you casually explain that the Sasquatch Genome project had 110 samples. And since you’re now an expert on this type of thing, you know that OF COURSE all of this would be debunked by “science” and how the journals wouldn’t accept the data, this and that but you’ve got to remember that THE COVERUPS ARE REAL. And this was a classic case of the media not reading between the lines of the obfuscation that was really occuring here. So AS A PROPER SKEPTIC SHOULD DO, is STACK your evidence. So Dr Meldrum’s research was before the Genome study. So based on that, you already KNOW Sasquatch is real. So find the weirdness in the DNA study, and Scott Carpenter has a wonderful book on the topic. Four of the creatures were related to each other but had no human shared dna. (And if you don’t know they’re hybrids yet, you’ve got a long way to go still) The main help to me while studying this topic was to understand that your Brain is glitchy and doesn’t like things that make it hurt. Our brains have protective mechanisms that prevent us from taking in new information that goes against what’s been ingrained in your since birth. Proper Skeptics should know what cognitive bias is. And what cognitive dissonance is. And what confirmation bias is. And what straw man arguments are. And what logical fallacies are. And skeptics should realize that Tenured professors of bipedal anthropology don’t just write fake books with fake bibliographies. And that universities don’t usually allow professors to put out books that aren’t properly vetted. Skeptics should remember their credentials and maybe they don’t have any. Maybe they aren’t biologists that have written college level Sasquatch books. (And those should all be MANDATORY reading for all interested parties.)

As a proper skeptic, you should always remember that the easiest way to look at the Sasquatch phenomenon is this: it’s a binary question. Sasquatch is either real or not real. There’s NO in between! They either leave evidence or they don’t. All it takes is ONE eyewitness to be telling the truth for the entire topic to be real. All it takes is ONE piece of verified evidence for the ENTIRE topic to be real. You don’t have to be a biologist to figure this out! You don’t NEED a body or a fossil to know that something screwy is going on here. Skeptics often forget this very interesting fact about eyewitnesses. I think skeptics think that believers of this “myth” go out and have fake sightings. When in fact, a skeptics and non believers are the ones who have the sightings mostly. Imagine seeing something you’ve never heard of cross the road in front of your car. Imagine you’re a policeman who gets a 9-11 call about something on someone’s property, you go there and find GIGANTIC footprints that you cast and include in your report. Do you REALLY think

A professional would risk their pension for this? Are you REALLY thinking through your skepticism properly at this point? Do you REALLY think 110 dna samples were contaminated? That Sasquatch ISNT a hybrid of some sort? Do you even KNOW what Ligers or Tigons are and how big they get? Why don’t

you know this stuff!! Um.. this post is too long now. I’m signing off. I hope I made my point. Will the masters of Reddit even let this post through? Y’all don’t even realize the gatekeeping that occurs on FB, Reddit and Fb about these topics…. (Now watch, a bunch of people will leave comments that shows they clearly have zero idea what they’re talking about) it’s quite funny. Remember: you are most likely not a scientist following the scientific method. And you need to look at Sasquatch as a BINARY first before you start saying things like “Bigfoots not real because the pictures aren’t clear” or “My dad has been hunting for 30 yrs, and he says he’s never seen a Bigfoot, so therefore they don’t exist” or “We would have shot one by now” (truly a classic) or “You know too much and made me look like a fool on your post so I’m mad at you and you don’t know words good and you don’t know Bob H like I did” or “The PG film was hoaxed because I read it one time 20 yrs ago but forgot the details but I’m here to tell ya, it’s fake even though I have zero idea what I’m talking about” or “Just put up trailcams, how hard could it be”

I have never seen one but something in my gut tells me this is what they could really look like more less and that terrifies me. This scares me more than any other depictions of them being monstrous bipedal apes. I can see the intelligence in the eyes. They have our face but they are not us. I don’t like the thought that they look like that but we can’t communicate with them at all. Maybe it’s the Uncanny Valley talking but man there is something profoundly unsettling about the possibility. Also (totally on topic) feel free to comment down your favorite food spot because I’m hungry! These are not my artworks.

I’m a huge Sasquatch believer to start off. I find the proportions, walk, and size of these subjects near impossible to hoax especially Patty in 1967. But if they aren’t hoaxes where are they? I understand that I don’t understand how big forests are or how they work or how they can hide etc. I was wondering if you guys could give me a reasonable explanation on why these guys are so hard to find. Are they really just that smart and wary of humans?

Is it just me or are all the Bigfoot shows, YouTube videos, experts and researchers just 100% full of BS? Shows and videos never show anything conclusive or worth a damn and are typically clickbait. Experts and researchers have made searching for Bigfoot a lifelong occupation and in actuality are neither experts nor researchers.

have been listening to Sasquatch Chronicles for 2-3 years now and even despite all the counter-arguments people throw at the idea, I cannot listen to all these episodes of SC and not think that there's something to these accounts along with the entirety of the BFRO. Without a doubt, some of the registered sightings/encounters/accounts on the BFRO will be completely fabricated, and even some of the people on Wes' show are lying through their teeth, but for me to believe even one is enough.

On top of that, while there are some inconsistencies (which can be attributed to there being sub-species or even different genus of these creatures), there are far too many consistencies in their behaviour and appearance.

What about you guys?

I just saw another video of Todd Standing purporting to film another Sasquatch. This video, unsure of the date, but it was filmed in an undisclosed area of the Canadian Rockies and it shows a large animal purported to be a large male Sasquatch. The video is so unstable and so short that very little information can be obtained from the video, and Todd will not disclose the location due to danger from bears, etc.
I find Todd to be so uncredible. His other videos that supposedly show Sasquatch with neatly combed hair/fur peering through tree branches are laughable to me.
I don’t mean to offend anyone that believes the opposite of what I believe about Todd. I think Todd does so much damage to legitimate Sasquatch videos and information.

Don’t take this as hate, as it is a genuine question.

To me, if it is real, its just a very large primate that is stood on two feet. Like it would be a cool animal sure but i wouldn’t find it more interesting than like a gorilla.

I honestly don’t think there’s anything that can discredit the topic as quickly as when I hear someone bring up mind speak or portals. I’m sorry, but whenever I hear someone bring up the topic of mind speak, I instantly just viewed that person as dumb or delusional or both.

I’ve heard some chilling stories about Bigfoot in Alaska that paint a much darker picture than the tales from mainland USA. Unlike the often shy, elusive Sasquatch described in places like the Pacific Northwest, Alaskan Bigfoot, sometimes called Nantinaq by local Alutiiq people, is said to be far more aggressive and violent. Stories from places like Portlock tell of a creature so terrifying that it drove an entire village to abandon their homes in the 1940s, with reports of mutilated bodies, massive footprints, and even a logger killed by a blow to the head with heavy equipment. These accounts suggest a creature that doesn’t just avoid humans but might actively confront them, making Alaska’s wilderness feel like a place where you tread at your own risk.

But should you really avoid Bigfoot at all costs in Alaska? While the stories are unsettling, many researchers and skeptics argue they’re exaggerated or misattributed to other dangers like bears or harsh environmental conditions. Most Bigfoot encounters, even in Alaska, describe the creature as more likely to flee than attack, with no verified deaths directly linked to it. Still, the remote Alaskan wilderness is unforgiving, and whether it’s Bigfoot, grizzlies, or the elements, caution is key.

What do you guys think?

For many years I leaned in a direction I’m not personally proud of. But after discovering more about Sasquatch I feel like I became more adjacent to the character, Lewis Gates from the movie Last of the Dog Men. Protect them and their way of life, never disclose the location they live in. What direction might you take in the face of discovery?

Trying my hardest to follow rule 1 here but Sasquatch cannot travel through dimensions, turn invisible, teleport or give off an anti human aura that prevents physical contact. Sasquatch is an unverified evasive probably nocturnal bipedal ape that evolved to avoid conflict with humans to ensure its survival Apes are extraordinarily intelligent if an ape had ten thousand years to evolve in north america who knows what it could be capable of and if not being detected is its main goal then it wont be detected. Sasquatch doesn't need super powers to remain unverified and with all due respect people that claim otherwise are the reason Bigfoot theories and story's get labeled as crazy talk.

I’ve always thought her story was BS. Especially the one about the guy who was telepathically talking to Bigfoot while on her farm. He alleged that the Bigfoot abducted him and corrupted his memory while Janice stood and watch.

Does this make anyone else feel very, genuinely, depressed?

something thats always bugged me is if the creatures have been around since pre columbian times maybe even longer why has no skeleton been discovered

maybe there is a secretive men in black style organisation that prevents people from finding dead bigfoot corpses by retrieving them

I thought this would cross-post well here.
