Q-C Posted October 21, 2012 Author #2 Share Posted October 21, 2012 If I was a bigfoot, I'd be jacking nice RV's not destroying them. Beats a cold cave or bed of sticks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bling Posted October 21, 2012 #3 Share Posted October 21, 2012 Great link, thanks! I find it annoying that the news team felt it was ok to laugh at and mock the man.....they don't know, they haven't witnessed, so they should have more respect.

Ashotep Posted October 21, 2012 #4 Share Posted October 21, 2012 If this is the third time he has seen one you think he would be getting pictures, movie or something. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they had time to jump in their truck and make 'Bigfoot' noises, then maybe they should have grabbed a camera. But they were probably quite shook up and running high on adrenalin - I would be! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would think by the third time though and being Bigfoot hunters they wouldn't be so shook up and be prepared. If I saw one it would give me a heart attack. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Night Walker Posted October 22, 2012 #9 Share Posted October 22, 2012 (edited) This is how the game is played: If it is impossible to prove that Bigfoot DIDN'T vandalise his Winnebago then, conversely, it is possible that Bigfoot DID vandalise his Winnebago. All he has to do is stick to his guns. He KNOWS Bigfoot exists and he has good reason to believe that his Winnebago was indeed vandalised by Bigfoot. All he needs to prove it to the world is the right evidence and it will come. It WILL come. It just has to. After all that he's experienced it just has to... From this juncture there await several well-worn pathways which follow the trail of Bigfoot. Whichever way he chooses it is imperative that he must always, always, always stick to his guns. He KNOWS what he's seen and t'ain't no-one can prove otherwise. The Hunt for Bigfoot goes on... Long may we remember this name: John Reed of the Lykens Valley Sasquatch Hunters.

Ninhursag Posted October 22, 2012 #10 Share Posted October 22, 2012 You would think by the third time though and being Bigfoot hunters they wouldn't be so shook up and be prepared. If I saw one it would give me a heart attack. I think you would be shaken up even if saw it 6 times .. Imagine seeing something so large and unknown at night in the woods .. I think you would be more concerned about getting away alive than snapping pictures with a camera .. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DKO Posted October 22, 2012 #11 Share Posted October 22, 2012 If I saw bigfoot or anything unbelievable I would make sure I always had a camera on me from then on. Now three times? Come on now. I have never seen anything remotely unbelievable like that but I still make sure I take my camera-phone whenever I step outside the door. Just in case haha. But that's just me. .

Junior Chubb Posted October 22, 2012 #12 Share Posted October 22, 2012 I wonder if Reed's belief in BF helped him form his opinion of what he claims to have seen... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neognosis Posted October 22, 2012 #13 Share Posted October 22, 2012 All the times I've backpacked into deep woods in P.A, and I never saw anything. As well as there not being any evidence for bigfoot's existence or anything to support this guy's story... Oh, and he's the founder of a sasquach hunting group? That makes me think that he MIGHT actually believe what he's saying. It's a question of whether or not he sees things he wants to see and he's preoccupied with bigfoot, therefore he thinks he sees bigfoot, OR, is it a case of him trying to generate interest in his group? I think it is ok for the "news" team is to chuckle at this, as it is ridiculous. Though, RIGHT NOW, someone is either writing on a forum or telling their friends that even the news admits the existence of bigfoot, because they put stories about bigfoot sightings on the air... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfknight Posted October 22, 2012 #14 Share Posted October 22, 2012 Wonder what they were smoking in the camper? Sounds like a bear to me. Everyone wants their 15 minutes of fame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myles Posted October 22, 2012 #15 Share Posted October 22, 2012 Hmmmm. Seems like there should be countless hair and other samples that he, as a professed bigfoot hunter, should have known to gather. I have an old RV I bought a few years ago. Just use it for camping from time to time. I bought a cheap camera set which puts 2 eyes behind the RV and one on each side. The option is there to record to a hard drive. He's not a very good bigfoot hunter if he neither had something like this not set a trail cam up outside his RV. The news team was right to laugh. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dharma warrior Posted October 22, 2012 #16 Share Posted October 22, 2012 Can you even tell if a 73 Winnebago has been vandalized? "A new Winnebago! We got a herd of Winnebagos, we're giving them away!" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+OverSword Posted October 22, 2012 #17 Share Posted October 22, 2012 If this is the third time he has seen one you think he would be getting pictures, movie or something. Exactly. Trail cams set up around your camp should be standard. Highly dubious. This guy does nothing to help his case by reporting this type of thing. Would you really call the police if a BF had vandalized something? What are they going to do? Arrest it? This guy is just a crackpot IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rafterman Posted October 22, 2012 #19 Share Posted October 22, 2012 Compelling. I bet his first call was to the insurance company, the second to the Discovery Channel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Q-C Posted October 22, 2012 Author #20 Share Posted October 22, 2012 (edited) The police could have dusted for fingerprints. No CSI team required, any patrol cop could do it. So even if the police did not believe it was a BF why did they not check for human fingerprints and why if the RV owner thought it was bigfoot did he not ask the cop to dust? (he'd be dusting for human prints, obviously) We only had gasoline stolen out of our vehicles and the patrol cop responding dusted for prints.

keninsc Posted October 22, 2012 #21 Share Posted October 22, 2012 I wonder if Reed's belief in BF helped him form his opinion of what he claims to have seen... I'd say that was very likely a safe bet, much as most people with sleep issues often think aliens are abducting them. While I can't say positively it was a Squatch, since bears have a reputation for doing this and it's well documented that they do.......I lean toward the bears more than the Squatches. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orangepeaceful79 Posted October 22, 2012 #22 Share Posted October 22, 2012 I wonder if Reed's belief in BF helped him form his opinion of what he claims to have seen... I always like my encounters with wildlife to be served with a side of confirmation bias. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neognosis Posted October 22, 2012 #23 Share Posted October 22, 2012 We only had gasoline stolen out of our vehicles and the patrol cop responding dusted for prints. You must have had that happen in a town where there's almost nothing else for a cop to do, and they just got new fingerprint kits or something. Did they run the fingerprints against interpol's worldwide gas thief fingerprint database? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeyLuisLeel Posted October 22, 2012 #24 Share Posted October 22, 2012 I think if anything thre should be some smples left behind by the 'bigfoot' hair, footprints saliva or something maybe blood i havent read all into this so im not sure if there were any....ill read now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
