The Bigfoot community is being torn apart by a documentary's new evidence

[EvilEyeFleegle]

Any Bigfoot believers here? i guess this would not be good new, but from what I've seen here, evidence or the lack of same is not a barrier to stubborn belief.

A Bigfoot documentary premiered at SXSW. Was it 'fake news?' An online community is tearing itself apart.

Bigfoot believers are struggling to accept their gold standard evidence may be a hoax.

A new documentary doesn't disprove Bigfoot — he or she could still be out there! — but it aims to upend the biggest piece of evidence that Bigfoot believers have held onto for 60 years.

Now, some of those true believers are becoming skeptics, bringing modern "fake news"-type arguments to social media, or suggesting newly discovered evidence could be an AI-generated hoax.

The Patterson-Gimlin film is instantly recognizable. Under a minute long, the grainy 1967 film shows a tall, furry creature walking on two legs through the Northern California woods. The creature turns slightly, looking over its shoulder, and then walks on. This is the most iconic footage of Bigfoot, and for decades has been the best "proof" that a large, undiscovered hominid species roams the Pacific Northwest, partly because the film has been stubbornly complicated to fully disprove (unless, of course, you simply assume Bigfoot isn't real to begin with).

"Capturing Bigfoot," which premiered at SXSW this month, has unearthed a piece of long-lost footage — an apparent "dry run" rehearsal of the famous film where it's more clearly a man in a furry suit. This new footage strongly suggests that the famous Patterson-Gimlin film was a hoax.

For the Bigfoot online community, the documentary is hitting like a nuclear bomb.

Have always assumed that Bigfoot is the type of narrative that Langley scriptwriters would choose to "push" and use to Deflect from UFO/UAP narratives .

Have never got involved in the detailed incident reports but recall that at the time I thought the Dyatlov Pass incident in Russia was especially strange .

Best to keep an Open mind (imho), but I place" Bigfoot " alongside the Loch Ness monster sightings --- almost certainly Fake .

im surprised morty hasnt been here asking if he is darker than bigfoot or are his eyes darker...

You are close to the solution
We all know that the Roma started life in India--- the virus then travelled west .
And Bigfoot started up in the north of India --- Tibet-- Nepal .

It's hard for me to believe anyone thought it was real in the first place.

Billions of people on earth for centuries, no bigfoot shot, captured, caught attacking anyone or eating animals, no dead carcasses from their natural deaths, none found injured, no young, less mobile bigfoot ever seen . Bigfoot does not exist. I am sure with the A.I revolution new "evidence" will prove otherwise lol.

Sometimes Bigfoot is called Sasquatch....Yeti doesn't mind.

I'm of the opinion that Bigfoot, Yeti, etc. were small isolated pockets of Hominids long thought to be extinct persisting in isolated areas.

Humans themselves were nearly pushed to extinction by other Hominids we were in competition with. Many anthropologists believe we were a prime dinner menu item for them.

Did Humans Nearly Go Extinct 900,000 Years Ago? A Biologist Explains

At some point in the deep past, humans may have come frighteningly close to disappearing altogether. Here’s what we know, according to research.

www.forbes.com

"According to genetic evidence published in a 2023 study from Science, our ancestors experienced an extreme population bottleneck around 900,000 years ago. This means just over a thousand breeding individuals persisted for more than 100,000 years. If true, this would’ve been one of the most severe population crashes ever inferred for a large mammal. In fact, a crash as severe as this could have potentially erased the human lineage before it truly began. . . "

If we had hidden and avoided annihilation by hiding from our close ancestors, it is not beyond imagination that other Hominids have employed the same strategy in their relations to us.

The world is much much smaller since the world wars, so I am skeptical that they persist.




Likely that last of them died out by WWI, but the legends persist, and have been continued by the Crypto-zoology community.

I am conflicted on this one. That was from 2010. The South Mountain Big Foot. I live just east of the South Mountains. That was out of Casar, pretty unique community. Beautiful country, the "Golden Valley", and some of the most rural areas on the East coast. The community made a big deal out of it for years afterward, I was working the area extensively. Kind of always thought it was a big con.

But there were several documentaries filmed in the area, and from strange deer kills to unexplained thermal imagery, lots of questions remain unanswered. And while most of that started back in 2010, now, it is Jonas Ridge Bog, next mountain range over, eight sightings over the last five years.

Paywalled

In any event, I have friends in Pacific NW who have seen living Gigantopithecus

So the Gigantopithecus said to the Coelacanth, "The All Knowing Monkeys with Thumbs swear I've been extinct for 500,000 years! LOL"

 

[Gary Seven]

I never really believed that film. But I strongly believe there are or have been real specimens of various cryptids out there. I also believe the government or maybe some bioengineering corporations have experimented with creating creatures, possibly even cybernetically altered creatures.

It does not surprise me that a leftist moron like yourself is a bigfooter.

 

[Captain Creeper]

Here is something REALLY cool you probably do not know about. There is a sub-genre of porn involving chicks f*cking monsters. Of said sub-genre, there is a sub-sub-genre with chicks f*cking bigfoot. Obviously, the bigfoots are dudes in costumes. But it is full-on, hardcore stuff. I will not link to it here because it is most likely inappropriate to do so. Just Google "bigfoot porn" and you will find it.

 

[MisterBeale]

It does not surprise me that a leftist moron like yourself is a bigfooter.

It does not surprise me that a n00b such as yourself bleevs I am a "leftist," and now I am disappointed that we have yet another member who has very little critical reading skills.

. . . to say nothing of their reasoning and argumentation abilities.

You really are an ignorant and silly old chap -- rather Creepy it seems .
I must apologise for giving my best --- so much more than your pitiful effort -- and being entirely truthful .

 

[luiza]

It's hard for me to believe anyone thought it was real in the first place.

Corporal Creepy clearly thinks it exists but at a very low IQ level which he apparently finds himself entirely at home with .

What a dreadful poster -- so crude and ignorant -- Post 15
Coarse and vulgar , as we say here.

I think Bigfoot is blurry that's the problem. It's not the photographer's fault. Bigfoot is blurry and that's extra scary to me. There's a large, out-of-focus monster roaming the countryside. Run, he's fuzzy, get out of here. — Mitch Hedberg

you cant prove he does exist as well as you cant prove he doesnt exist.....kind of like UFO's and God....
