Finding Bigfoot: Rant of the Day

If you are a reader of ours, then you no doubt know that we have issues with almost every paranormal show out there..not because we don't believe in the paranormal and all of what that entails, but good research, good investigations, credible witnesses and solid evidence are needed if the world of the paranormal can gain acceptance and understanding.

That being said, we have to keep pounding away at the shows that squash that from happening..Enter 'Finding Bigfoot' more specifically the group's self declared leader Matt Moneymaker.

If you watch the show, you will no doubt make one conclusion rather quickly, in Matt Moneymaker's mind "everything is proof of a Sasquatch." If we look at all the "proof" that has been collected on the show...and I use the term "all" loosely...and then presented it in court..well...it'd get thrown out and no doubt with a thunderous amount of uncontrolled laughter from the bench..

Matt has two enthusiastic allies in his quest to not prove Sasquatch exists..but to prove Sasquatch is "everywhere" or so we think.. Bobo Fay..while Fay isn't quite as quick to declare all things are proof of a Sasquatch he no doubt fuels the flames by being very enthused at the meager so called evidence they do claim to find.

Moneymaker's biggest ally may be fellow investigator Cliff Barackman who seems to be almost as eager to accept every noise, moan, groan, twig snap, belch, buzz, soil impression as proof positive that Bigfoot is, as stated earlier.."everrrrrrrrrrrywhere.."

Ranae Holland the only female team member, is possibly the only sound mind in the bunch. Oh we are sure she has her enemies in the world of the paranormal but honestly, she makes good sense. She never indicates what she can't explain as "proof" but merely says, "she can't explain it" and that is just being honest. If the rest of the team members were a little more logical, they'd know they'd gain more respect by taking this more scientific minded stand..good evidence will speak for itself..wild assumptions, jumping to conclusions, failure to capture or explain things using facts or even good common sense will always slide down the slippery scope of respect.

It is odd to think that those that believe in Bigfoot so wholeheartedly could actually start to make people believe less in this creatures existence..but where there is no adequate tempering of attitude and beliefs...we end up at the end of the day, just sighing and rolling our eyes in frustration.
We'd love to see Finding BigFoot vs. The Peoples Court and then let them provide the best evidence and arguments they have for why BigFoot is real..now, tell us..wouldn't you watch? Not to prove or disprove what you may or may not believe, but to give this show and its team members a better perspective of what it really takes to present the best case for their claims.. What say you?

Finding Bigfoot: Well, not yet...

Darn it I hate to keep bashing Animal Planet's Finding Bigfoot, but geez, is it time for a new name? Like, Finding Bigfoot, Not. I have been watching the show, and as always hopeful that they run across anything that  even comes close to a Big foot, besides "Bobo."

The group leader, (Matt Moneymaker) thinks every noise he hears is a Big Foot and in the beginning, I was all about supporting his enthusiasm, regretfully that has since changed and now I am on the teams skeptic's side (Ranae Holland) more often than not. Thank goodness she is on the show because she may be the only voice of reason most of the time.  Sure the team finds a lot of eye witnesses, but let's face it, you can find an eye witness for almost anything. True?

So here's the big question I ask myself: Do I think Bigfoot exists? Well I have to look at things from my own perspective. Logic tells me no, there is no Big foot wandering in the vast regions of the world today. However, that being said, I am not 100 percent sure they never existed.

The Patterson footage has always been intriguing to me. The problem is, we have not seen compelling footage that comes close to that in many many years leading me to believe they may possibly be extinct now. I would like to see, because I am an open minded sort, perhaps the introduction of some more less than conventional sources brought on the show of Finding Bigfoot.

I'd like to see them bring in psychic mediums for an investigation. Why not? If they are already going to ask the viewing public to stretch their mind, abandon a certain level of rationale, why not go the extra mile and try some psychic input? I'd watch that episode for curiosities sake alone, wouldn't you?
