Hi I'm new to this site, and I would like to kick off my rep with some deep thinking.
I was watching a segment of Silvia Browne on the Montel show, and I find her to a be a deeply creditable person. She insists that threw years of imagination have actually manifested this beast, because before it was only a myth. She says people have actually created this thimg, but it dosent actually exist. But it does exist if its in our imagination. A world of pondering to do.....

you know that is probably the truth but that doesnt make her gifted. psychics are just as much as a myth then bigfoot....because there is no solid proof of either.

So if I imagine a hot chick in my bed for many years, according to Ms. Browne, she can be manifested? Is that the same concept?

I take a opposite view of Silvia Browne. Not psychic at all. She never talks about all the predictions that never come true. She uses coldreading to make money off of desperate people. She is a leech.

Sylvia Browne is credible? This alone is news to me.

This has been my thinking for years, Bigfoot is a myth firmly entrenched in modern folklore. Didn't need a psychic to figure that one out for me.

Many myths and religions have the symbolic "wild man in the woods". Youve got Grendel from Beowulf, the satyrs in greek mythology. Even Merlin, in some arthurian legends.

Tis highly archetypal. In an age of science, such a projection would likely appear in the form of a cryptid.

So all those credible witnesses throughout the Pine Barrens are imagining things. I am sorry but the people I interveiw in these cases are not much for imagination. Staunch Methodist farmers and such.
Then again didn't she say the world was gonna end in like 1988


Lapi'che ni'tis

I must say that sylvia has used the same tricks that others have used time and time again to leech money and a following from people, she always makes vaugue generalizations and i do not believe her to be a credable source. haha hmm i wish i could imagine a hot chick in my bed and have her show up like what was said b4,lol that is great. but alas it shant happen
*slouches along floor like a slug*

If you can have several million people believe that you very often have a hot chick in your bed, you might get some.

I find it entirely more likely for there to be some unknown species of ape roaming around out there, being that we (as in americans) have only been on this continent for lets say about 500 years.
Now what i dont get is how people can just toss out the whole idea of there being something out there that we dont know about when we have only been hear for such a short time.the discovery of wild gorillas happened fairly recently around the early 1900s.
Why does it have to be a figment of our imagination or a sprit being that just appears out of thin air. Why cant it just be an elusive animal that has learned to avoid humans. if we had thousands of people combing the forests in search of these things im sure there would be something there to find. But that wont happen because anyone who claims to know where to find these animals is regarded as crazy to the rest of the world. Sorry if i went a little nuts but i had to vent a little.

I believe that the mind is very powerful and if you think about it and you start to put power into whatever the hell it is at the time. I believe it might just start to manifest itself into our reality.

I do enjoy watching Slyiva Browne on Montel or whatever show she might be on at the time. But if you ask me if I believe that she's credible? I'm not sure I do enjoy watching her on Wednesday's at four.

But I would rather see people on this site stop arguing over which pyschic is real or not it can get very annoying. Does that mean that I believe that good ol Sasquatch is real? No I don't believe in Mr. Sasquatch, I wasn't brought up with the belief in the guy.

I do put more credit into James Edward (and I forsee James Edward bashing starting soon. ) But to get back to the subject on hand, I do believe that we can manifest something whatever we might be thinking of at the moment.

She must believe in the soul theory. Apparantly our souls can create things that we imagine. If enough people worldwide beleive whole heartidly in something, it will manifest and come true.

Back in 1982 or 1983 Sylvia Browne was on the KPIX show called "People Are Talking" in San Francisco and people used to call in and ask questions. This one person called and said that their dog was missing and they wanted to know where it was and if it was still alive. Sylvia said that the dog was still alive and that it was in a place called Dublin (about 35 mins east of the city) and a cook at a restaurant had found him/her and had been feeding it. The name of the restaurant was joe-joe's or co-co's. Turns out that another person that had been watching the show who lived in Dublin knew what restaurant she was talking about and went there and sure enough the cook had been feeding the dog. The restaurant is now "Hooters of Dublin" I don't know how that could be a generalization. Everyone is entitled to their opinions. My opinion is that she is for real. She may be a little pricey but she also helps many law enforcement agencies solve missing people and murder cases.

Well, give me the police depts. she worked with and the cases so I can research it. I don't think she has helped solve anything.

Why do we not have world peace? Or at least food for third world countries.

I dislike Sylvia Browne. In my opinion she is a complete fraud, and not creditable at all.

i find the imagination thing to be not credible, especially since this creature was seen even by early settlers and before that by the native american tribes.

Agreed. The people who see it have no concept of it and wish they hadn't, and the people who don't see it (Bigfoot buffs) wish they did. (Speaking generally.) And sightings lack the exciting, or anyway symbolically meaningful, elements one would expect if they were coming out of the unconcious. Most "believers" may be attracted to the phenomenon because of its mythic aspects, but that doesn't apply to witnesses, who seem like an ordinary cross-section of the population.

Everyone spread the word!

so what she is saying, with our thoughts and minds we created bigfoot?
SEE I HAVE KEPT TELLING YOU MIND IS STRONGEST OF ALL

It's kind of hard to argue back and forth...."yes she's a real psychic"..."no she's a fraud"...when neither side can say for absolute sure. Only she knows for sure and whichever she is, she naturally will only say that she is definitely for real.

Imagine both sides of the argument though. Imagine you are her..... and you really were psychic. How in the world would you convince people?

Now imagine you know she is a fraud....how would you convince people of that? Either is impossible.

As for ole Big Foot, we will probably never know. Even if a group of us had lunch with him , we'd never be able to convince anyone else what we witnessed.
