What is it about Bigfoot that is so fascinating? Why do we like the big, hairy phantom? The same reason we're interested in UFOs, ghosts, the Loch Ness Monster, and other "paranormal" stuff. Because it's cool.
But Bigfoot is different because he's believable. He leaves prints, gets his picture taken, and smells bad. Oh, and he screams too. A giant hairy ape-thing is not out of the realm of possibility. There are already some strange creatures on the earth, such as the platypus, tube worms, goblin shark, etc.
Of course, those guys have been caught.
Bigfoot, though, is elusive. He seems to exist only in anecdotes and bad photos. And of course, in footprints.
Thems big feet. Imagine the Nikes he'd have to wear! But really, what are some explanations for our North American soul brother? What the heck is he?
1) An ape of some type.
2) An alien. What, you haven't heard this one?
3) A hoax. This has been done.
4) Wild inbred freaks.
5) Hairy Nephilim.
6) Hallucinations.
7) Apparitions conjured up by our minds.
Hoaxes are the prominent explanation. People have faked hair samples, footprints, and even corpses to fool us. They sometimes laugh to the bank, but sometimes not. This does not mean that Bigfoot isn't real, but it doesn't help his reputation.
Alien? Doubt it.
Hairy Nephilim is something I just made up. Hey, why not? Natives near Mt. St. Helens used to speak of the skoocooms, a race of cannibals who lived in the mountain. Nephilim were reported to have been cannibalistic, too, and both have ties to the supernatural, so. . .
. . .that makes him a . . .what? Listen to this. Nick Redfern wrote a book called 'Three Men Seeking Monsters'. He in fact makes mention of hairy inbred wildmen living in caves in England. Inbred humans, that is. Interesting story. But what's more interesting is what a witch told him about the paranormal in general. She said that ghosts and aliens and Bigfoot and all the rest are phantoms or spirits that materialize for the sole purpose of feeding off our fear. When they get their fill, the leave for a while. He also talks about creating a being with our imaginations that can actually come to life. I'm not kidding, go read it. Makes you think more about the theory of our universe being a hologram.
Not exactly Christian stuff, but we believe in angels, demons, and miracles. Who knows how weird our universe really is?
But then, maybe Bigfoot is indeed a real creature, one who simply wants to stay hidden.
Wouldn't you?

Thank you, Owen. I like compliments. Even more than I like condiments.
ReplyDeleteNice article . That book you mentioned about three guys that went for monster hunting and encountered hairy human inbreds. Is it based on real events or just a fictional novel ?
ReplyDeleteReal events. It was a non-fiction book. Pretty good read. Some of the information was told to them by others, some of that passed down. Check it out.
