So where is Bigfoot anyway?

Gee this trap certainly does seem perfect for Bigfoot, I mean a creature that is as elusive as Bigfoot is will surely appreciate this lovely, inconspicuous abode? If Bigfoot manages to avoid having it's picture taken but by a precious few chosen ones, what makes anyone think it would be dumb enough to fall for this?

This map represents some of the reported Bigfoot locations, lighter areas indicate less darker indicate most reported sightings. It is interesting to note the stark contrast between California and Nevada. You would think Nevada being one state over would report similar numbers, however as seen here, Nevada is quite possibly one of the states with the fewest reported sightings.

Finding Big Foot

Image via Wikipedia If you are like the members of That Paranormal Blog then you no doubt have seen the latest show on cable TV’s Animal Planet called Finding Big Foot. I have to say as a Paranormal enthusiast, that so far I have been , well a little under whelmed? Is it me, or is it just another wild goose chase that leads no where? I mean I want to see something definitive like the rest of the world, and if I see one more fuzzy, out of focus could be anything something walking amid the brush “thing”, I’m going to go crazy.

These shows take you through woods and folklore and little else and unlike some shows that actually offer up some sort of evidence I am left discouraged with Finding Big Foot. I do however, give kudos to Celebrity Ghost Stories, I find these shows fascinating and while some may seem a stretch others make for a great story if nothing else.

 I’d like to give kudos to the show Fact or Faked as well for putting the effort into proving and disproving the stories that are circulating in the news and elsewhere. Sometimes I am a little mystified at their “debunking” techniques, but hey, I lost my ability to be “wowed” by debunking techniques from watching Ghost Hunters who are a little too quick to say something is not legitimate.

Well like everyone else I am going to be patient and keep watching, since the show Finding Bigfoot is a newbie. I will hang in there and maybe you should too,,

*******Paranormal Points to Ponder : Big Foot

Image via Wikipedia
Does Big Foot exist?
There are compelling arguments on both sides of the coin. Some say that the lack of any physical evidence is proof enough that this creature does not exist. However, on the flip side of this point, is the fact there are also very few examples of physical evidence of many species of wildlife residing in the remote areas of the county and world.

The famed Patterson-Gimlin film shot by Roger Patterson and Robert Gimlin has been scrutinized by the finest minds in the world for legitimacy and no details have been overlooked. Several key issues that make for a compelling argument of authenticity of the footage is the quality of the gorilla-type suit in the footage. Taken in 1967.

We can certainly go back through film archives and find examples of gorilla suits and one thing you will not see is suits designed as realistically as this suit was. On top of that, the creature appearing in the Patterson film appears to have breasts. No one of that time period would have thought to add "breasts" to any suit. It's just doubtful, highly doubtful.

There have been documented cases of Bigfoot sightings since 1924. Prior to 1924, Natives of North America have recorded and handed down many stories of the "wild man" they called Sasquatch. To the Native Americans, this is no hoax, but a very real mystical creature with special abilities to appear and disappear at will.
We leave the debate here. Does Bigfoot deserve more study? Or should this creature and man's supposed need to have larger-than-life mysteries, belong in fairy tales and campfire stories?
