bigfoot sighting?

Rick Jacobs says he got the pictures from a camera with an automatic trigger that he fastened to a tree in the Allegheny National Forest, about 115 miles northeast of Pittsburgh, hoping to photograph deer.

Quote:

"It appears to be a primate-like animal. In my opinion, it appears to be a juvenile Sasquatch," said Paul Majeta of the bigfoot group.

However, the Pennsylvania Game Commission has a more conventional opinion. Agency spokesman Jerry Feaser said conservation officers routinely trap bears to be tagged and often see animals that look like the photos.

"There is no question it is a bear with a severe case of mange," Feaser told The Bradford Era.

Do YOU believe in bigfoot?

If that is bigfoot ... why is it walking on all fours??? Everyone knows bigfoot is bipedal. What, is it doing yoga or something? As far as I know, the only bigfoots that do yoga are in California.

Seriously, if there were bigfoots we'd have found some serious evidence by now - a carcass, some bones, shoot one, something. What I find interesting is the widespread prevalence of this sort of crypto-creature. Big-foot, Yeti, and even Austalia has a Yowie, which is much the same... an elusive, bipedal, very tall, hairy humanoid, only glimpsed at night in remote bushlands... I wonder if there is, in the collective unconscious, some primitive nightmare based on Neanderthals or such, that emerges in the minds of people who fall into a semi-sleep state while out late at night alone in the woods...

EDIT: FTR, I voted: I doubt it, because proving something doesn't exist is very hard. I very strongly doubt it. But it isn't absolutely impossible, some yet to be discovered large mammal species roaming a heavily populated continent...

good theory. but weren't neaderthals short? still...it almost makes sense.....Like in the book 'Childhood's End'

neanderthals short? Yes and no. The great font of Wiki teaches:

Quote:

On average, Neanderthal males stood about 1.65 m tall (just under 5' 5") and were heavily built with robust bone structure. Females were about 1.53 to 1.57 m tall (about 5'–5'2").

I sit corrected. Although, this is short by modern standards, but our ancestors 100,000 years ago were much shorter than we are now. So maybe Neanderthals were big, by old standards. Or, more likely, the fear of the image has increased it's size, or perhaps it was fearful to children ... or it refers to something other than Neanderthals (maybe merely strangers from a different clan?) ... or ... is it obvious that I am just making this up?

I'll drop the Neanderthals link, but some kind of semi-sleeping nightmare from sleep deprived people wandering about the bush, I find plausible.

Haven't you read that they can anticipate their own deaths? When they are close to death, they jump into the neareast active volcano - even their bones burn to nothing! And they are impervious to all human weapons.

Interesting that the eyes don't reflect red or green.

What, do you have teethbrushes in your bathroom?

Volcanoes ... Giant monkeys ... Impervious to weapons ... Why do I feel this is about to merge into the scientology thread?

More like Flying Spaghetti Monster. "Bigfoot said 'let there be light'".
