10 Utterly Bizarre Bigfoot Theories - Listverse

List of what many consider out there theories concerning Sasquatch:10 Utterly Bizarre Bigfoot Theories - Listverse. The article provides us paranormal and Fortean nerds with intriguing ideas, but it is not a pro-Bigfoot piece. Example:

"Bigfoot and the Predator actually have a lot in common. They’re big, bipedal, and don’t exist in real life."

BF a "giant ground sloth" at number 10, don't think so! My favorite theories are listed below. They're my favorite for a few reasons; some because it is quite possible, some because they're just wonderful juicy Fortean goodness no judgement is involved, just simply the joy of pursuing such things for their own sake:

• #8: Bigfoot Hides Underground 
• #7: Invisibility
• #5: Bigfoot the Psychic 
• #4: Bigfoot is Really a Troll (I would add that others, such as Lisa Shiel, suggest fairy, etc.) 
• #2: Bigfoot works for E.T.

The Bigfoot Field Journal: The Bigfoot - What Is It Really??? Your not going to like my answer...…



Very interesting conclusions! I don't agree or disagree -- for one thing, I only have my own intuitions based on personal study of Bigfoot, not even direct experience. Meaning: I've never seen one myself. Yet.



But, a lot of what Joe Black writes makes some sense to me, some I'm not so sure about, and some, not at all sure about! The important thing is that Black offers some thoughts, and is keeping the subject alive and sharing theories that are sure to generate lively and heated discussion.

From Bigfoot Evidence: Someone Shot the Bigfoot Books Store in Willow Creek!

Sad and weird news concerning Stever Streufert's  Bigfoot Books store in Willow Creek, California:

Bigfoot Evidence: Someone Shot the Bigfoot Books Store in Willow Creek!: Steven Streufert, owner/operator of Bigfoot Books in Willow Creek, CA. got an unfortunate surprise today when he opened up for business. Someone had shot the front window of the store. Was this an accident, a random act of vandalism, or was this done in anger due to a recent argument within the Bigfoot "Community"? ~ (Bigfoot Evidence)

Bigfoot and Invisibility - Part 2

Witness account and theories on "invisible" Bigfoot, how they "pop up in front of you." As is pointed out in the article, there is nothing mysterious about this, although many have interpreted this and other weird Bigfoot behaviors as supernatural or paranormal. Like much of UFO and alien encounters, what we interpret as "paranormal" is technology beyond our understanding, or physical abilities, as with Sasquatch, that are truly beyond what we expect from the norm. Possible, certainly. Then again, Bigfoot like other crypt ids, can truly be from that Keelian "super spectrum." Who knows. Bigfoot and Invisibility - Part 2

Cryptomundo:Bigfoot In Los Angeles? and Topanga Canyon Tales

From Cryptomundo: Bigfoot In Los Angeles?

This story reminds me of some childhood rumors of Bigfoot in California:

I've heard this off and on for years, very interesting -- of Bigfoot in California deserts and other areas. I remember some stories I heard about Bigfoot in the area from my teens, when I lived in Topanga Canyon, California. There was a story going around -- rumors, lore, etc. -- that a family of Bigfoot lived not far from us. Being about 15 or so I don't remember details, just that a handful of adults, sitting around, telling this as a true story. I don't recall anyone saying they'd seen Bigfoot themselves, but that they "knew" people who had seen not just one Bigfoot, but a whole family of Bigfoot, living in one of the canyons. At the time, I didn't know much about Bigfoot just a general sense of a BF creature living in the woods, and I didn't know what to think of the stories, except I do remember wondering at one man's insistence that the story was true and he struck me as being truly upset -- that he believed the stories. I remember looking at him and wondering if he was not telling all there was to tell. Oddly enough, I also remember thinking that his odd vibe didn't have so much to do with Bigfoot, but some other more mundane weirdness (and unwholesome) in that same area. Compare my comments here with ones I wrote in 2007 about these stories and my perception of them. In 2007 I wrote a piece for Tim Binnall's Binnall of America: L.A. UFOs, Looking Back, where I commented on Topanga Canyon Bigfoot tales:

For a while during my teen years I lived in Topanga Canyon with family. I heard a few stories of UFO sightings, nothing too exciting. Nothing about aliens, but stories of craft. Actually, I remember hearing more about “Bigfoot families,” living in the canyons in the area. (The Bigfoot stories came complete with warnings to not go wandering around alone, especially at night. All the ingredients of a good Urban Legend. Which doesn’t mean there couldn’t be “Bigfoot families” living in Topanga Canyon. While I am of the opinion Bigfoot exists, as readers know, including so called “paranormal” Bigfoot and a UFO connection, the stories I heard back then seemed like put ons. I never got the impression the people telling me these stories really believed them, or had any direct experience, which was unlike the UFO stories I heard.) ~ Trickster's Realm, Binnall of America, 2007.

Did Bigfoot Attack? Dead Livestock In Washington State - Who Forted? Magazine

Interesting account of possible Bigfoot activity in Washington state, along with the attempts of author Chris Savia to investigate strange animal deaths. What I find interesting is Savia's point about those wanting to protect Bigfoot in context of BF killing ranch and farm animals.



But, is there any proof (not evidence, but proof) that Sasquatch is responsible for these sad deaths of horses, sheep, etc? Before people go off with the intent of killing a Bigfoot, it should be proven that Bigfoot is responsible. Why would a creature kill animals, lay them side by side, but not eat them or take them away? Are there other cases of this specific type of activity attributed to Bigfoot? (Bigfoot and dogs -- there are stories of dog kills attributed to Bigfoot.)



All very strange and troublesome of course.

I am no naive, putting Bigfoot on some spiritually evolved plane who is above killing farm animals, but I am not quick to slap the Bigfoot did it label on this either. Like the poor mangy dog like creatures shot and killed and accused of being the "monster chupacabra" these recent animal deaths said to be caused by Bigfoot is a disturbing trend in human hysteria and revenge.
Pessimistically, my mind goes to human causes for these animal deaths; possibly shadow factions (military, private-industrial-military sector.) Of course, who knows.

All that aside, efforts at asking local authorities about Bigfoot sightings in the area were met with frustrating stonewalling when Savia tried to ask Washington agencies about these incidents.Did Bigfoot Attack? Dead Livestock In Washington State - Who Forted? Magazine

It Came From the UFO? The Creature-Lights Connection | Lindagodfrey's Blog

Researcher and author Linda Godfrey on mysterious lights, UFOs,  and creatures, including Bigfoot. Very interesting!

It Came From the UFO? The Creature-Lights Connection | Lindagodfrey's Blog: One question I hear a lot from radio callers, blog readers and conference attendees is whether I think that unknown, upright canine creatures are related to UFOs. It’s actually a concept that’s been around for some time and is also asked in regard to Bigfoot and other cryptids. My usual answer is that while I don’t have any reports from witnesses who’ve seen a dogman hopping directly off a UFO (although I know there are a few cases where people have claimed this about Bigfoot), it just so happens that places where mystery creatures abound are also often UFO hotspots. ~ Linda Godrey

USA: Woman Claims Daughter is Half-Sasquatch

From Colorado, another Sasquatch love story:

USA: Woman Claims Daughter is Half-Sasquatch: Barbara Smithson, an elementary school teacher from the small town of Wilford, claims that her newborn baby is actually the fruit of a strange sexual intercourse she had with a sasquatch during a trip in the Rockies last summer.

Woman Claims She Raised a Baby Bigfoot - Cryptozoology News

I just love stories like this:

Woman Claims She Raised a Baby Bigfoot - Cryptozoology News: AVONDALE, La.–A woman claims she helped raise a Bigfoot between the years 1964 and 1972. L. Melacetti, 70, says she found the animal when he was a baby, abandoned in the swamps of Louisiana.

Bigfoot News | Bigfoot Lunch Club: Who is Natalia Reagan from Spike TV's Bigfoot Bounty

Bigfoot synchronicity. Even though I don't watch this show, due to the fact it's silly, I know, haven't seen it, how can I say that? Still, the idea of a bounty for Bigfoot does offend. Anyway, the synchronicity part: my mother's name is Natalia, and my name is Regan. Okay, so it's not Reagan, and it's probably pronounced REE-GEN and not REG-AN but still.

Cryptomundo: Possible Bigfoot Bones Found In Oregon

Link to a clip on Cryptomundo about BF in Oregon, my current home state:Cryptomundo  Possible Bigfoot Bones Found In Oregon. I don't believe it, and don't believe it will ever happen. Seems like the hoax season is in high gear.

The Uncomfortable Truth about Telepathy and Bigfoot | Lisa A. Shiel

Interesting look into the more anomalous aspects of Bigfoot from Lisa Shiel:

The Uncomfortable Truth about Telepathy and Bigfoot | Lisa A. Shiel: For awhile now a certain theory concerning Bigfoot has been gaining steam. The theory attempts to explain why Bigfoot seem to have psychological and/or physiological effects on witnesses, such as intense fear or the inability to move. What causes this, the theory goes, is a type of sound outside the human range of hearing called infrasound (some known animals do this). But how can we explain the reports of Bigfoot sending telepathic messages to witnesses?

If we skip the old “they’re crazy” idea, then perhaps we can look to science for an answer…strange-but-true science. A 2009 article on the New Scientist website discussed declassified data released by the U.S. Army under the Freedom of Information Act. The data describes technologies which can induce similar effects to those reported by some Bigfoot witnesses (and some UFO witnesses). What is the technology in question?

Microwaves.

Forbidden Bigfoot: Sasquatch Strangeness | Mysterious Universe

Forbidden Bigfoot: Sasquatch Strangeness | Mysterious Universe: Well, it’s time for me to get on my Bigfoot soapbox again. Or, in other words, get the collective blood-pressure of the “flesh and blood” brigade soaring through the roof. On several occasions here at Mysterious Universe, I have noted the undeniable fact that many people within the Bigfoot research arena will simply not address the theory that the creature is far more than a mere unknown animal. That is, aside from predictably attacking the theory. ~ Nick Redfern

Nick has a review of Lisa Shiel's Forbidden Bigfoot, and it's a good one! Excellent points. Redfern sticks to his opinions on Bigfoot being more than "flesh and blood" -- it's not a popular view to take.

Lisa Shiel's Forbidden Bigfoot, (and the Haters Who Hate It)

Speaking of Bigfoot, researcher Lisa Shiel's new book, Forbidden Bigfoot, is now available in print. (She had a version on Kindle earlier this year.) It's a completely interesting book, I like the way the material is presented, and I think it'll be a classic. Now I'm not just saying that because I'm one of the many who were interviewed for this book! Really!  I also have to say, and it's not at all expected (sigh) that so far, all the comments on Cryptomundo are sneering; they hate this kind of stuff. How DARE Bigfoot and cryptid research discuss, seriously, UFOs, or paranormal events??!!! Wow, the comments would really hurt, if it weren't for the fact I expected as much. But, there are many who are not so closed, thankfully. Anyway, here's the link , and Nick Redfern, also featured in the book, promises us a review soon!
