Bigfoot researcher Billy Willard believes he is on the verge of proving the existence of Bigfoot once and for all.
With 14 reported sightings in the area within the last ten years Willard is focusing his efforts on part of Spotsylvania County, Virginia in which several people have reported seeing a tall hairy hominid walking across their property.
Billy Willard says he’s on the verge of a major discovery that could change the way humans think about the natural world, not to mention their need for a creature-proof home security system.

Why just some? Why do some say real, and some say myth? Some indigenous Australians say the Rainbow serpent is real, and if one can grasp their culture, and significance of stories in it, that in a sense rings true, but not as a physical gigantic snake that carves Australian Waterways. So is the Rainbow serpent a creature that "could" exist? Theoretically? No. Is BF? Sure. Did all the people of Africa living on the coast know of the coelacanth? No of course not. European settlement is approaching the 500 year mark in the US. Still no physical Biff evidence. There has been dozens of articles on... [More]

So is the Rainbow serpent a creature that "could" exist? Theoretically? No. Is BF? Sure. Did all the people of Africa living on the coast know of the coelacanth? No of course not. Yet it not a common theme is it? It is cherry picking whatever tribe managed to fit the bill. It also depends on which depiction of Biff and whom you ask. For instance, what about the Anthropologists I have quoted previously that say the creature depicted in the PGF is a false combination? Field professionals? They say what has been presented cannot be real, and they know more about the subject than you and I tied to... [More]

For instance, what about the Anthropologists I have quoted previously that say the creature depicted in the PGF is a false combination? Field professionals? They say what has been presented cannot be real, and they know more about the subject than you and I tied together and folded over. To be fair, your assessment by the professionals was about the PG film, right? And did not include the thousands of reports, stories and folktales that incl... [More]

To be fair, your assessment by the professionals was about the PG film, right? And did not include the thousands of reports, stories and folktales that include BF. And most of us agree that the PG film is perhaps not the best representation of a Bigfoot, as it is perhaps 75% (IMHO) likely to be a fake. I feel enough evidence exists to comfortably claim 100% fake, however.... What are the defining properties that separate the general deion of the alleged Biff as opposed to what has been depicted in the Patterson/Gimlin film? I meant it simply as a example of one tribe calling the stories of ano... [More]

No My sighting happened outside Astoria Oregon many years ago. Astoria is very beautiful. My family has lived on the Oregon coast for 25 years.I have recentlly moved here , but have hunted and fished all over it.I work with 17 hunters/loggers.They all bow hunt more than anything , and all of them go all over the pacific northwest.Those 17 people probably know another 17 people , who alsop know 17 , on and on.... When I mentioned how "Bigfoot" is mentioned all the time when it comes to Oregon , they all laughed their butts off... Out of all of those people , you would think there would be at le... [More]

the platypus!..The bizarre appearance of this egg-laying, venomous, duck-billed, beaver-tailed, otter-footed mammal baffled European naturalists when they first encountered it, with some considering it an elaborate fraud..and this is with a carcass as proof.people will believe what they want to believe,and other peoples opinions rarely change that.

Thankfully we can now analyse DNA to discount such ignorance and move forward.

What are the defining properties that separate the general deion of the alleged Biff as opposed to what has been depicted in the Patterson/Gimlin film? The amount of research done on the creature in the film. The amount of time and effort put forward by knowledgable individuals to suggest reasons why it was a man in a suit. Such effort has not been done in the vast majority of cases, and so they would still be a lot more in doubt. Why would they dismiss it as a lie? What opportunity would there be for Europeans to have heard that one tribe in Africa occasionally catches an inedible fish? As yo... [More]

Such effort has not been done in the vast majority of cases, and so they would still be a lot more in doubt. Why do you need to? Check this comparison Patterson Creature Roe Sasquatch. The physical similarities offer the generalized deion. This is discounted by Anthropologists in general. There is not enough information to make a distinction between the two. Therefore, the Patterson creature is indeed the generalized depic... [More]

Hi everyone, Billy Willard here. Just found this forum today and I have enjoyed reading the info everyone has posted. First off, I would like to say that the majority of the media coverage has been misleading. The reporter did a very poor job of quoting what I said. I would also like to point out that the media always tries to point you out as an "expert" or something. I'm just a normal guy with a strange hobby. Nothing more, nothing less. I'm doing what others have been trying to do, simple search and find some kind of evidence to back the existence of this creature up. I feel very strongly t... [More]
