As you probably know BFRO has two recent sightings near Mt. St Helens in Washington.
In one of them the person reported seeing a large bipedal animal crossing a river. He observed it from a moving car while going over a bridge for only a few seconds. The BFRO investigator says the distance from the observer to the animal was 1000 yards, not 300 as reported. I play alot of golf and have since a child. I'm pretty good at estimating distances, but when I look at a person on the golf course 500 yards away I am hard pressed to tell they are on two feet. If I look two holes away say a 500 yd hole followed by a 400 yd hole, NO WAY! My vision is 20/20. I don't believe this to be a good report because from 1000 yds., moving in a vehicle, sighting something for a few seconds and then reporting it as Bigfoot is not possible. Most likely a bear.
The other report involved a Bigfoot carrying a stick or club. If an honest report I think it is more likely to be a homeless person. There is a guy here in SAn Jose who lives near a creek(I think) who from a distance would look like some kind of animal. He is fairly muscular but has long matted hair covering his back and face. He is scary looking. I often thought if I were homeless why in the hell would I live in the city, the woods is where I'd go and I'd carry a club. People automatically asume you can't survive in the 'wilderness'. Yet there are plenty of examples where this is quite possible(see www.feralchildren.com; Alexander Selkirk story-The real life Robinson Crusoe, etc.) :roll:

yeah, youre right, you just cant see something that far away clearly enough to define what it is.

Yes, guys, I'm agreeing with the skeptic-but only becuase he's right. So don't hate me for it.

Or, at a thousand yards, a tree stump...



Don't be fooled. Lycurgus isn't a skeptic, he just wants to be one! 8)

I don't know about the first report, the picture shows that it is a long way to be seeing something, although the witness mentioned "arms swinging" and bears dont have arms. I'll accept a bear for that one.

The second report, I really have a hard time seeing a homeless person wandering in meadows by Mt St Helens alone and covered in black fur. The witness approached within 30 yards and said the face was covered...so what was this thing? If the stick it was carrying trips you up, why? If there is such a thing as a bigfoot, it has arms and hands and could carry things. This report is of something....maybe a homeless guy in an ape suit? I don't know. The description is consistent with other eye witness accounts from around the country. There must be all kinds of weirdos running around in ape suits. But it obviously wasn't a human in normal human form.

This is the great mystery that piques our imaginations and makes us all wonder.....otherwise we wouldn't be at this site.

As far as the report about the Bigfoot carrying what appeared to be a club. One thing I noticed is that the witness said it was carrying a stick with roots attached. Considering the fact that roots and tubers are most definitely food items for many creatures, I can't help but wonder if maybe this one was carrying it's lunch with it as opposed to some type of weapon.

It seems to make more sense to me, anyway.

maybe bigfoot's wife packed him a luch before he went to work that day.....

I've been unable to for weeks.

It posted! I love this site and I'm glad I can post again. Had a problem for a while. Talk at yall later.

Hi Ella!

So that's what happened to you! I'd been wondering. Glad you can post again!

Yeah, I tried any number of times and had just about given up! I would get an error message saying something along the lines of "Server won't connect" or some such thing!

BTW, go the www.texasbigfoot.com to read about a sighting right down the road from me (15-20) miles in Spanish Camp, Texas that took place in 1979 and just now got reported. Also, a dear old friend of mine had a sighting circa 1992 not far from there at Blue Hole on Turkey Creek. However, he wouldn't talk about it and now he's deceased.

Bigfoot comes to Wharton County! And both places are very close to the San Bernard River, which runs right through my yard! One isolated sighting--dubious. But two, not that many miles apart, though years apart, now THAT's exciting. And if there were two sightings, only one officially reported to TBRC, then there have to have been more that were never reported except to the witness's close family and friends--again, for fear of public ridicule.

But it gives me hope that maybe even I might see one! I live in a pretty remote rural area right on the river and the river bottom is heavily wooded--there could be dinosaurs down in there and nobody would know, LOL.

That was a good report, Ella.

So, have you planned a campout on your river bottoms yet? :wink:

Honey, I don't have to camp out on the river bottom! The river is right in my back yard. I live in a filthy little hovel on my 10 acres. It's not too well insulated, so I can hear my four dogs bark every time they even see an armadillo, much less a Bigfoot.

Unfortunately, even though the river bottom is heavily wooded with giant live oak trees and all kinds of near-impassable underbrush, the real wilds---the cypress and palmetto swamps--start about five miles or so downstream. The sightings were in the south part of Wharton County, a lot more wild and remote than here, in the cypress swamps. And since an old lady pushing 60 can't very well go camping there by herself, , I'll just have to hope that a Bigfoot wanders upriver!

However, I do plan to tactfully question some friends and acquaintances downriver when I get enough time off from work to go there. 8)

I am still waiting on one (or 2 or more!) to come up to my backyard too. I do live just off a highway, but the thick woods right behind my house extend for miles and only 1 small dirt lane separates these woods from the National Forest. Only about 10 miles back behind my house have supposedly been quite a few encounters over many years.

I do go camping when I can talk my hubby into it though! He just isn't nature oriented. I wish I could go more. When I can't get him to go camping, I drag him along hiking....I am so bad!
I don't think he enjoys it most of the time!

I don't blame your hubby--I love to go hiking and walking in the woods, but camping out with the helicopter-sized Texas mosquitos? Only a guaranteed Bigfoot sighting, a promise notarized on paper, could cause me to do that! Maybe you'll at least see some tracks, though!
