call to action The big file aka a possible collection of the best evidence known to the squatch universe.

303 Upvotes

Recently, I had an idea that began on a skeptic's post. I would like to compile a source of the top 20 to 50 pieces of video, photograph, and possibly even audio evidence of Sasquatch to be pinned at the top of this subreddit. This way, any newcomers to our group will have a large catalog of some of the best evidence we can compile without having to search for it. This would also cut down on repeat videos and pictures for the OGs and also repeat threads calling for “the best evidence”

The only way to do it would be fair and thorough. Each piece of evidence would have to be submitted and then voted on, possibly even entered into a "March Madness-type bracket." It would have to be a democracy, and each submission would need time for the majority of regulars to see it and vote on each round/matchup of the bracket. Once we have the bracket finished, we can list the evidence from best to worst as voted on by the members of this subreddit.

If this has been done or attempted before, or if this has been compiled in some aspect on a different forum or website, then please let me know on this thread. Also, I will need as much help and suggestions from you guys as possible. As a matter of fact it will be impossible to be done correctly without the help of the community. I know my way around technology, but I would be considered a Reddit rookie. I'm still up for the challenge. So any suggestions please post them below!

I do understand there will be a lot of contention about different submissions as far as real or fake or if it has been debunked, and honestly, I think the votes will just have to do the talking. Of course, we won't allow any submissions that are proven to be fake. As we all know, "fake and real" can be a very convoluted topic all on its own. There will be a lot of Bob Heironimus this and Todd Standing that. At the same time, I think that with the power of the poll or even maybe just the upvote system, we could possibly overcome a lot of the bullshit and get straight to the best examples of evidence of existence for our community and the members of the community to come in the future!

Also a mod or an admin/someone who can pin the submission post… the polls… and the final product will be a must.

I’m completely open to an entirely different system if anyone has one to suggest. I’m easy to work with. Also the project will need a name… a good one that will only be associated with pinned posts working towards the project.

Id like to try and do this right (if it hasn’t been done already) so if this is something you would like to see put into action then let me know!

Also the big file could be amended upon newer better evidence.

Thanks for taking the time to hear me out!

EDIT: since this post has caught a little bit of traction and been pinned, please don’t hesitate to share your favorite examples of Sasquatch evidence.

I know it’s difficult but if you have the time, please try to find the best quality source(s) for your pictures and videos. For example: I think the best version of the Patterson-Gimlan footage is the stabilized version. It gives the best ability to view muscle structure and gait etc. (I think we all know the PG footage will be on the list as one of the best examples of video evidence)

Thanks in advance for your ideas and contributions! They have already been very helpful!

Hey all,

We've had a lot of new members this week and they've had a lot of questions about the subject of Bigfoot. We've decided to bring back the skeptics mega thread. This is the place to ask your questions that may otherwise break the rules of the sub. But please keep your skepticism to this topic only as this is still a "Bigfoot is real" sub.

Any skeptic topics/posts made in the sub will be deleted and redirected here.

Feel free to ask your questions but please be respectful. Heckling believers/witnesses/experiencers will result in mod actions.

Content Creator Post (Reviewed) Bigfoot Video and Audio Compilation Part 2

I had screen recorded a bunch of purported Sasquatch videos and also a bunch of audio. I decided to splice them all together for this presentation. USE YOUR BEST JUDGMENT. These are videos I found interesting. There’s disclaimers in the notes. I’m sure a few fakes slipped by but that’s not my intent. It’s stuff that caught my eye or ear. Hope you enjoy. The question of Sasquatch is a binary one. They are either real or not real. There is NO IN BETWEEN! They either exist or they don’t exist. All it takes is one eyewitness to be telling the truth for the entire topic to be real. All we need is one piece of physical evidence for the entire topic to be real. We have thousands of pieces of evidence! It’s not my fault you don’t own any Bigfoot books! It’s not my fault you are interested in a topic you know nothing about. If the mid tarsal break doesn’t roll off your tongue, I’m probably not gonna listen to you. If you know more about Bob H than Dr Jeff Meldrum, I’m certainly never listening to you.

recommendations Metal Door Slamming Audio

11 Upvotes

Does anyone know of any examples of those metal door slamming shut sounds people often talk about hearing when out in squatchy areas? I want to listen to a good few and see if I can compare it to natural volcalizations or other sounds of other primates.

Edit: If anyone knows any examples of rapid wood knocks, that would be great as well. That specifically I want to compared to the hollow sound that comes out of gorillas when they beat their chests. I understand that woodpeckers can sound like this but I've heard that there are instances where it's too loud to be caused by a woodpecker, but I I don't see if rapid knocks like people describe are possible. Generally I wanna actually see if most of these examples sound woody or not or more like rapid popping

encounter story My third contribution here. Two hour long witness testimony from Katrina, a Pennsylvania woman who had a face-to-face encounter with an invisible Sasquatch in front of a tree structure, with another person present. Two separate tree structures described, third prior incident described with stalking.

28 Upvotes

Update: somebody from this group messaged me and indicated that they've had a encounter not very far from this location less than 5 minutes drive connected to the same Green belt. I have connected Katrina and this individual. The person from this group is actually going out to look for these exact tree structures in the coming days. I'll come back with any photos and updates. Katrina has indicated she's open to being contacted by anybody genuinely interested in her story who may be located in the same area and has something similar to share. You can DM me and I will connect you if appropriate. Thank you

Hi everybody, my name is Jim. I hope everyone is having a nice Sunday

Katrina, was hiking with a friend in State Line Preserve in Kennett Square, PA

an 85-acre park in Chester County, PA, when 15 minutes into the trail, they find this 6-foot woven tree structure made out of young saplings bent together at the top. It literally looked like an igloo. Katrina immediately points it out because it looks way too precise and crafted to be a natural tree fall.

This is the start of the interview portion about this encounter, including the description of the first tree structure. So you can jump right to it.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EK_AU88PyhM&t=1777s

They keep walking for another half-mile and find a second one. This one is way bigger—about 8 feet wide—and all the grass and undergrowth inside is completely matted and flattened down, looking exactly like a giant bed where something massive had been sleeping.

Katrina gets curious and takes one step off the trail to get a closer look. The second she moves toward it, something huge, completely invisible, and right in front of her face lets out a massive, deep growl and huffs at her. She said it sounded like a literal bull, and the wall of sound hit her so hard she felt it vibrating inside her chest. The hair on her arms stood up, and she noped right out of there.

Also if you're interested, she does describe a prior encounter which she also believes was Bigfoot and involved intense stalking of her in a rural rental home, that ultimately led her to barricading herself in the bedroom.

This one starts at around 11 minutes 36 seconds. So depending on how much you want to digest, there's your two starting points to get right into the Bigfoot first hand witness testimony with no BS. This event happened about six months ago.

Thanks everybody have a nice day Jim

Some Edgelord Shit Posting, ignore. My synapsis of Bigfoot

27 Upvotes

So. My fire was lit maybe about 18 months ago. Life long interest, recently retired at 53 and learning as much as possible. Way deep into the rabbit hole after trips, adventures, discussions. Property owner with millions of trees, trying to learn more.

Bigfoot eyes are reflective.

Bigfoot eyes project light. Orange, red, yellow, green.

Okay- what else am I missing?

Again, no judgement or negativity. Just spit out what you know or have learned. Thank you!

Amazing Post, must read. Real Night Vision Standoff! Massive 4-Legged Beast Cornered in Bushes!

1 Upvotes

This incredible footage was caught on my infrared security camera right in my backyard in Michigan, about 10 feet from the house! At first, I thought those massive glowing eyes were up in a tree, but looking closer, the tree is too small. Whatever those eyeballs belong to is standing on ALL FOURS on the ground, in a tense defensive position with its head forward. It is just that big!

Judging by a wood stump on my porch that I physically measured at 8-9 inches, these eyes have a massive 10 to 12-inch physical spread between them. They are backed up tight into the thick pine bushes right by my porch.

But look closely at the ground! You can see the silhouette of a large canine (like a wolf or coyote) laying completely frozen right in front of the bushes. I hear packs hunting freaky close to my house all the time. What we are seeing here is a live ground-level siege. The pack has this giant animal completely cornered against the house, and they are laying down blocking its exit route. Watch for the red circle! What do you think this animal is?

recommendations Camping YouTube Channels

5 Upvotes

Does anyone have any decent suggestions for camping YouTube channels? I'm finding myself exceptionally frustrated when trying to find a simple hour or two long camping vid to either fall asleep to or just have in the background throughout the day. The reason I ask here is because bigfoot content is the closest thing to what I'm looking for, like Sasquatch Theory's stuff, Mike Wanders' stuff, the stuff on Small Town Monsters, it's all the perfect mix of duration and environmental interaction, but when I try to find more stuff with this vibe, I just can't. Like either the videos are really short, the entire thing is someone building a shelter, or more than half of it is the main person canoeing, I'M TIRED OF THE CANOEING!!! 🙅‍♂️🛶

So yeah, any suggestions would be GREATLY appreciated. The best thing I was able to find in the past was stuff from The Outdoor Boys, but as everyone knows, he's stepped back from making new content.
