Fringe Theories: Search for Bigfoot is Pointless

Bigfoot is a total fabrication and myth. It however is no coincidence the first official bigfoot stuff came about with the age of mainstream TV and the use of early movie cameras, available to people. By the early 60s you could even make a fairly convincing monster suit and run around at Halloween freaking people out.

Footprints can easily be left by bears and large animals. I have seen bear tracks. They do look pretty interesting, and the big ones can stand on two legs for a little to look bigger and scare off other animals. These are not Bigfoot. They are easily identified. Ape footprints are different, but it is not likely escaped zoo gorillas get out often.

Nobody has ever shot one. Some wacky hunter claim stories of having shot one and it ran off, or it died and was hauled off, or it went into a river or down a cliff ravine. The never once caught one after shooting it and brought it back, in all of those stories If they're that good at hunting, how come they never downed one? It's because there wasn't one. Not one. They made up the stories to scare new hunters, or others, into thinking how awesome they are at hunting. Hunting tales and fish tales are just that, tales. You'd think someone would have shot, skinned and eaten one over the course of some 50 years, somewhere. Don't tell me there are n't expert hunters that couldn't have shot it and taken it down.

None have ever been found dead, either shot by a hunter, hit by a car, or of natural causes. Why not? You see deer and skunks and stuff on roadsides. You'd think one of them would die after being struck by a truck somewhere and just lie there dead for anyone or carrion to find.

They never wander into town like in a movie and go through human trash, or get into a shed or garage, or pee all over a barn. Why not? You'd think someone would have caught one in their dumpster eventually, or running off with their garbage cans.

Nobody has ever actually filmed one for real, with or without a cellphone (same for UFO video). You mean in 50 years nobody has ever managed to catch one for real on tape, close up, or on a security camera in front of a Quick Stop store rummaging, or trying to break in to get food.

The Yeti is not supposed to be a bigfoot.

The rain god thing is probably not a bigfoot as the tale predaes the myth by several centuries.

The reason people are freaked out by the woods, but I'm not, is because they're dark and spooky to some. You step on a branch or twig and in the dark that is freaky. You think you see things that are much larger than they are, because you're in the dark and it's hard to tell what it is. An owl hooting might sound like someone nearby. A coyote in the distance could look like a vicious giant under the right lighting.

Bigfoot is a fairly modern myth that has been added to other older ones, and there isn't a shred of real evidence anyone has actually found one.

As for the skunk ape story, there is a rational explanation for that. Several animals in the wild emit strong odors, including skunks. It is likely that the person smelling these things are picking up skunks. Those things make off a horrible stink!

Ironically SW's story says Bigfoot is bull but Dan Brown is writing historical fiction. Uhu.

Nobody has ever found a body, ever, or even so much as a skull. If they claim they found one, they did not. It is likely a bear, or something else obvious.
