Nnicolette Posted September 13, 2021 #26 Share Posted September 13, 2021 "One Australian man is absolutely convinced that the Yowie - Australia's answer to Bigfoot - is the real deal." gotta love those headlines. I at least thought that would come with a story. But the opinion of a probable serial killer and no mention of how he drew his conclusions... Could have been any post on UM. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I thought they ate people and I saw a group racing at superhuman speed, I would get out of there fast. Must be the explanation for the lack of supporting images. Actually the couple people that told me they saw them here in NorCal said this now that you mention it. One said it ran up a steep bank and along the road really fast. And that they were very scary and aggressive. I agree remains might be rare and supposedly they bury them, but no bigfoot poop = no bigfoot, unless they bury that too. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trelane Posted September 13, 2021 #29 Share Posted September 13, 2021 Is there anything in the fossil record of Australia that would lend credence to this mythical creature actually existing? Any scientifically backed research that shows a breeding population? 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yowies are reported as somewhere between 7 and 12 feet tall, with black or red or brown or sandy hair or fur over most or all of their bodies. They walk erect or stooped or on all fours. They are vegetarians or carnivores and are solitary or live in family groups. Is this what you call 'quality and consistent reporting'? And then the usual cop-out of the uneducated and gullible: to explain the ZERO evidence for their existence they must have 'paranormal attributes to avoid detection'. They can be seen by the human eye but they can't be photographed because... dem got paranormal powers. They must be heavy, but they don't leave footprints because... dem got paranormal powers. They roam far and wide but whenever they encounter humans they're always distant and indistinct because... They never leave any hair or poo or dead yowies or nests or any traces because... because... ... they don't exist. You might as well go look for that other mythical creature - the sober Australian. The last couple of Yowie sightings - Gold Coast hinterland and Tully - have been near Army Bases. I'm guessing the sightings might be the result of a prank; but, I haven't been able to find a hint on various forums. Ghillie Suits are also called Yowie suits. We have had some media stories where they've been used in practical jokes and and crimes 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had the same confusion about my odd encounters being in the heavily populated state capital with nearby afb, after exploring the woods my whole life and seeing nothing but a couple high odd circling zigzagging lights ever. I wonder why that is... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Gold Coast Hinterland sighting was on a road that ran along the boundary of Kanungra. Tully is the home to the Jungle Warfare Training Centre. Now in this thread have a story of a sighting North of Bullsbrook, where RAAF Base Pearce is located. I'm noting the coincidence of something that fits the description of military equipment being seen near military bases. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Australians are notorious for blowing things all out of proportion and outright lying.

HollyDolly Posted September 17, 2021 #47 Share Posted September 17, 2021 I don't know about that in regards to Yowies eating people. The thing to do is ask native peoples like the Aboriginies about them. I know the native americans have long told stories of such creatures, and in the Himilayas too. I might believe the story more if it came from Aboriginie people as witnesses.They were there long before the british whites and other europeans came there.
