I was bored... I mean really bored... and I got to wondering how many on this Forum claim to have seen the Bigfoot. I was surprised, not by the answers but rather by the lack of them.

Of the 97 who bothered to answer, 32 have seen what they consider to be a Bigfoot, while 50 say they haven't, and 15 aren't sure if they have seen one or not.

123 , for one reason or another, simply did not answer the question.

Which makes me want to know why? Are you afraid... of what? Answering no, or not sure, will not invalidate your posts.
Come one, people share with us... inquiring minds want to know!

Error note: I only came up with 220 responses out of 234 registered members. I must have mis-counted... no I'm not going to waste the time again!

I wasn't going to answer to start but thought ,why not.I'm 1 of the 15 not sures.Why because I'm not sure.I was a kid and it was just a big dark shape.I've seen other things that could be Bf related,but again Not sure.Not because it wasn't there,but because I can usually find an alternate reason for it.Whether it be possible human intervention,attributed to natural causes,or a misidentification.Not everything is a bigfoot or bigfoot related.Though some will have you believe otherwise.(*cough* cough* "50 years....").I dont consider myself a bigfoot believer.I believe in the evidence for bigfoot.PG film,Track and other cast,dermal ridges etc, about everything else I remain a skeptic.Reports to some extent have bearing,only as a generalization of habits and appearance.I doubt some reports the same as I doubt some photos or track casts,Not enough evidence.(hmmm wonder if CSI is hiring ? )Sometimes its the person reporting the sighting or event.Some seem very credible others seem to delve into the word of the unbelievable.(Certain guy in S.F) The bright side is I get to pick and choose who and what to believe based on what I construe as evidence,no more or less than anyone else is entitled to do.So yep. I'm unsure.I may be that way for a long time.I may not.who knows ?for the moment I remain more of a skeptic than a believer.I'll leave believing for religion,and keep my BF hobbies based on the evidence,or lack of. Uhhh...was this supposed to be just a "yes" or "no" question ?

Jim, at least you answered. No problem with your not knowing... my post was directed to those who did not respond.

ummmmmmmmmm....must have missed that one -- where is it??

It's a question in your profile. You can answer it in 'My Controls' -> 'Edit Profile Info'.

Are you asking for more than the "yes, no, not sure"? Like an account to go with the response? As for mine, nothing spectacular...but if that's what you want I'll try to get it in here somewhere...

Nope, for the profile it's just yes, no, or not sure. Most folks go to the Sightings and Encounters forum to elaborate.

Elaboration...

must... have...

more... elaboration!

I posted my encounter on the forum. Or to make it simple, I said yes.

Well, the question is if you ever had an ENCOUNTER, not if you ever SAW one....

I put not sure, I guess I should change it to no.....I only put not sure because of some experiences I had many years ago when I rode horses into a certain aspen tree forest on top on a mountain near town. Just very weird feeling I got that I do not get when I go up there anymore. And I only say the weird feeling may have been more because I found a sighting report from a ravine right behind it by two game wardens in the same time frame .....

I get/got weird feelings at different times, its not unusual so I should change that...its not enough to go on......

sounds like a "not sure" to me - thanks for the story.
