Hiker is stalked for several days by 'Bigfoot' in Oregon

[Test Subject]

There's a chance Bigfoot sightings are just people getting a bad look at some of the world's shaggiest hobos.

...perhaps one day everyone will have a small device capable of high-quality video or photos, then we'll be able to settle the Bigfoot question once and for all.

Well said. We can also solve that UFO mystery.

AND if you identify it as some form of human related species it will be a minority and be TOTALLY untouchable and allowed as such to do whatever it wishes!!!

Haha, yes, it's best we don't find it. We'll owe it 'reparations'.

A poster on a bigfoot enthusiast forum once posted up a picture of small rock formation he insisted couldn't possibly be anything but bigfoot symbology, completely oblivious that hobos/homeless have an large lexicon of symbols; the one he posted meant safe camping here.

According to the story, an experienced hiker became fearful for their life after being followed by an unidentified creature, yet the enraged and exhausted hiker chased the creature away by running after it. Makes sense lol.

Quite a few of those can be found in the forests of the PNW. I've seen them and scared some homeless folk that I encountered out in the woods. What's intriguing is when I asked if they had seen anything while camped out there they responded with "You mean like bigfoot? No, nothing like that." They would then have a good laugh at my expense.

Good campfire story. nothing heavy, just a good tale.

The poster I'm referencing was indeed reporting from the PNW where "no one ever goes" despite the fact he was there, and others, quite obviously.

You shouldn’t be hiking in large mountain ranges and forests alone. Especially alone and unarmed. I’m assuming unarmed because it’s Oregon and the person telling the story never mentioned a gun…. Which if you truly believe you are being stalked by a wild animal you would at least pop a few into the sky as a warning.

 

I would say stalked by a bear but a bear doesn’t usually haulass away from a human like that. I would say they were not really deep in a forest and a local was screwing with them. But who knows. Not a lot to go on in this one.

The majority of the world wouldn’t need you to be armed. Only a few places to protect yourself from some animals.

And it’s fine to hike alone.

Many people have claimed to been have been stalked by bigfoot, or sasquatch in not only Oregon, but also Washington, Northern California, and British Columbia, some of which occurred before bigfoot was even a name or a popular hoax.

I wholeheartedly agree with your claim here: People tell stories.

Yep, and some people tell the truth, like I do.

I like the retort :-)

Some people think that if you can theorize that an event is just a story that was told then that means for certain that the event was just a story. after all.

Right.  And that does happen.  It’s just that I’ve actually done this for myself and had no make up stories because my experience was real. And I was trained for it.  I was doing mountain climbing in Northern California.

What were you trained for?

Being able to navigate and survive in the woods for days or weeks at a time with only what I can carry in on my back.

What does being trained in bushcraft have to do with people telling unverifiable, unfalsifiable stories?  I've spent a lifetime outdoors and never once have I attributed an unknown sound to a creature that has never been shown to exist.  No bigfoot anecdote has ever led to the discovery of a bigfoot.  Not a single one.  No bigfoot anecdote has ever led to the discovery of a habitat where one could reliably observe a bigfoot.  Not a single one.

What we possess are a number of stories that have led to exactly nothing.

Some people think that unverifiable, unfalsifiable anecdotes are good evidence.  Those people are not doing science, of course; they are doing playground pretend epistomology.

Truth of a mythical creature? How does one tell truths of something that doesn't exist?

Well I am not one of those, but let's face it, we need speculations here, Resume. Otherwise all threads just close down. that's how I see it.

I can name scientific studies being done when all the project director had to go on was theory, such as the search for tachion particles.
nobody begrudges these researchers their right to do that.

Now look at what happens to someone that wants to study UFOs or BigFoot. 

Holy Jelloli! 

 

 

 

Just to add: There is more evidence of the existence of BigFoot than there is of tachion particles.

Wonder if you can arrest Bigfoot for burglary and stalking. Probably not, as long as Bigfoot is classified as an animal, it stands above the law.

Actually they can kill the creature without trial. At best they could try for some sort of protection such as being on the endangered species llist

If does a lot of heavy lifting in footie discussions, and that's fine for discussions.  Beyond the ifs, the what, where and why need to be demonstrated. I've never seen good bigfoot evidence; what I've seen are claims that can never be verified.  Good bigfoot evidence would be a bigfoot, or a piece of a bigfoot.  Or a particular habitat where footie-foo-foo can be reliably observed.  We don't have those things; bigfoot is all story, no monkey.
