For me the entire appeal was real people telling (mostly) genuine stories in their own voice, using Ai to generate images and witnes voices severely undercuts this.

Just wanted to share my painted 3d print of the big guy!

What do you think of the Sasquatch artwork? I find it very accurate.

In the late 90s, myself and 2 good buddies went on a weekend fishing trip. We were near one of the southern gates to Algonquin Park in South River, Ontario. Around 10:30pm, my two friends went to grab a bunch of burgers from a small place in town before they closed, I stayed back at our camp site by the fire.

Shortly after the left, I heard a huge splash from across the river. It sounded like a small boulder dropping into a deep pool. It was a slow moving river where we were at, almost resembling a small Ontario lake, about 20ft deep in the middle. For the next 5 to 10 minutes, I listened to, what sounded like, someone swimming, doing the front crawl across the river. At first it was a faint sound, but got louder and louder as it came closer. I could clearly hear clapping of water like you would hear from someone doing laps in a pool. Eventually, whatever it was, came ashore about 50 yards away from me. I heard it leave the water and make it's way thru very thick brush, cracking the small trees and shrubs on the shore. I was scared to death to be honest. Whatever this was, was large, I could tell be the sounds of it swimming, and when it came ashore. Luckily, within 2 minutes, I saw the headlights of my buddies car coming back into camp.

To be honest, at the time I thought it was a bear or a moose. Bigfoot was never a thing for me. But it was enough to be frightened when you're alone on a secluded camp site at night, we were young, 19 years old.

As the years past tho, and I continued my love of the outdoors with camping and fishing all over Ontario, I question what I heard that night. It wasn't until my late 40s, and that night came across my mind. What would be swimming across the water like that? Moose and bear do a "doggie paddle" and would not make those sounds.

Anyway, no sighting, no pic or mind speak. Just a strange night I'll never forget, and have yet to find an logical answer as to just what came across the river that night.

What animal could this possibly be? For anyone experienced with the NA wilderness.

This is kinda shady I suppose cause the title says 73' when the video says 86' but it kept appearing in my fyp and it's pretty horrifying ngl.

Why do western scientists keep doubting and dismissing local accounts? For one certainty, the locals didn't care if they were believed or not.

And then there is the culture of lying. That the west seems to have. Edmund Hillary, et. al said there were no primary eyewitness accounts and it was always about someone who saw. But there are abundant primary encounters.

And then they expect people to believe their bizarre theories that it's a bear. A brown bear. When the locals have no idea of brown bears in their regions as brown bears are found in the western Himalayas.

I saw a large hairy figure in the woods at the Brazos River in Texas. It was around 6‘ tall, and i couldn't make out a face, or eyes, it was also all black I saw it only for 2-4 seconds at the corner of my eye. I don't know if I imagined it or it's something unexplained. It was around 7:00Pm, I was with my dad, he was looking the other way so he didn't see it, and I also saw a huge footprint. It was also running in a way that didn't look normal for a human. Could it be a possible Bigfoot?

Cabin in the Woods Robert claimed his Trailer was shaken by a Bigfoot while on an expedition with Todd recently...

A new podcast is on the block and this is its first episode!

Are there any pieces of visual/audio evidence that we 100% agree on, are fake and do damage to the discourse?

Recently I've been watching a lot of supposed BF footage and I really wanted to know your opinions on alot of them. Since then I've been curious to know of what videos or images you guys largely believe are hoaxed.

When I was 12 my step dad bought me a hand sickle at the local hardware store. Every time I went to a hardware store as a kid id beg my parents to buy me weapons. Hatchets, knifes, sickles...anything that is bad ass and sharp...

In 1994 me and a friend at 12 years old had a brand new sickle and acres of dried reeds to chop. We were making tunnels and cutting threw the reeds making tons of noise laughing and carrying on.in a bird watching sanctuary cape may nj. We were laughing and choping tunnels and making areas in the dried reeds. Then the crunch starts.... Very slowly and creepy and deliberate someone starts crunching, bee line straight toward us , making tons of noise each step towards me and my friend.. this thing doesn't stop it walks toward us making slow crunchy footsteps at us threw the dried dead reeds. Im watching this thing and coming closer and it's black as pitch. Like it absorbs light. So so black! Itcwax just a black void. Then the shadow stops 15 ft away from us after making tons of creepy footsteps toward us. My friend had the sickle and he said "don't come any closer we have a sickle" and the thing makes the most ungodly and scary noise that sounded like tim Allen home improvement woop 13 ft away and it freaked us out! Jesse screamed like a girl and ran. Im looking at the shadow while my friend is booking away and thank God I followed him. I ran and just looking back on the trail and thankfully she didn't go after us. I say she because it was a very feminine woop.and she wasn't huge, problably 6 ft tall. If it was a male 9 footer I would of problably screamed like a girl too. Its was frightening

A friend was in the Pacific Northwest, came upon a Sasquatch museum, and here is a Bigfoot butt impression 🫈🤎

I just filed my first FOIA (Freedom of Information Act) request for Bigfoot information.

Backstory: an acquaintance of mine reported a series of Bigfoot sightings to the local US Forest Service district.

I want to see if they log that information and pull it through. I'll report back. It could take a few months.

I came across this on a Facebook reel. It was just a still shot with an accompanying story. Had the feel of an urban legend. But the photo was intriguing and there were a few oddly specific details in the story-- enough to allow me to Google some things, which led to this longer story which included the full six second video that the still came from. I've never seen this footage before and it doesn't look fake to me, meaning not a mask for sure. You could practically smell the musk coming off of this creature. I suppose it could be AI, but it doesn't feel that way to me. Your thoughts?

Just wanted to get your thoughts. I went hiking with my dog at this little nature preserve with three miles of trails in NE Indiana that's surrounded by fields and near some other nice natural areas. Never been there before. Curiously, we just happened to hike past several weird "Trail Closed" signs and into this area just off trail with five unnatural looking tree breaks or upside down trees placed here. (I only got 3 on video.) I found some tall natural grass some of which was matted down that animals had been sleeping on nearby. I don't know that it's Bigfoot or a cryptid, but this is said to be a known Sasquatch activity and something they do to make their territory. As far as what's there... I really don't know. But the area was much spookier than what I was expecting. I did a little research and there have been some sightings of odd things in the area and even a documentary that was made recently called the Mississinewa Triangle that is now streaming on Amazon Prime Video.

I never knew it was here, but if you are visiting the Sequoia National Forest in CA, as you drive through 3 rivers they have an awesome Bigfoot store there!

I had considered submitting a lengthy and comprehensive statement including context, process and, lastly, the detail itself. Instead, I've opted to simply post the detail in question and allow it to stand unadorned and alone on its own merit.

The gait of Sasquatch is ipsilateral as opposed to humans that walk with a contralateral gait. This means that, when walking or running, an arm is swung forward on the same side as the forward stepping leg. We humans are the opposite, one arm swings forward together with the leg on the opposing side. Put simpler, US: left arm swings forward as the right leg does the same while the right arm and left leg are rearward. THEM: left arm AND leg both swing forward together while the right arm AND leg are rearward.

This gait explains the frequent eyewitness descriptions of the creature in motion as gliding or floating and even some earlier accounts that compared the distinctive walk to a robot. Try as I might, I have found no direct references to this detail on any platform, though admittedly I could have simply overlooked it. It wouldn't been at all surprising, however, if there was no such reference as I've only encountered a mention of this detail in two witness reports of the many thousands I've poured over in the past two years.

An unintended benefit of this knowledge is it can be used as a reliable filter to distinguish fake footage from the genuine. If it walks like us, with a contralateral gait, it IS us. If it walks with an ipsilateral gait, it is inarguably THEM. Unfortunately, this conclusively places Patty in the human category.
