Too much vinyl chloride in the air will do that

> "In this researcher's assessment, given the step length and stride length of the prints, the lack of any identifiable shoe tread in the prints themselves, the chronological context of the track find, and its congruence to other bigfoot tracks found elsewhere, strongly suggests that the tracks are not human in origin but bigfoot in nature," BFRO wrote.

Wait, footprints with no treads? That’s obviously a bigfoot.

If I thought bigfoot was real, I'd 100% believe this! ;D

Great title, lol.

If you ever drive through....i think it's New Castle people have bigfoot signs everywhere lol

When I was high-school '06 ish, I remember a story with legit trail cam photos of ape like things out in western PA, also the BFRO has some around my hometown Gettysburg

From about 2004 to 2010 my friends and I faked a massive amount of bigfoot "evidence" across central Pennsylvania. There were about 5 or 6 of us normally, but sometimes more. We made fake hut/lean-tos, planted fake fur, we had fake feet made and a friend would ride piggy back on me to make em sink in deep, we'd go out at night and scream weird Moises, and way more. We spent a lot of time and effort on it over the years.

Ive run across folks who spent years of their lives tracking bigfoot based on our "evidence". I've told em straight up what was actually happening, but they've refused to believe.

If bigfoot were real my buddies and I would have run across him faking bigfoot evidence.

The footprints were big

My friends and I made fake feet I could slip on like flip flops. I'm 6''6", so I've got a long stride as it is, and if I do this weird hopping thing I can spread the tracks out really far. On top of that I'd carry one of my other buddies piggyback style to make the prints sink in good.

I feel weird about being the one to break this news to you, but… you’re a Sasquatch.

Lol, I've actually been told that more than once.

Out of all the internet tales I’ve heard and read, I think this story of wonder now takes the cake for one that I hope is true the most. I’m skeptical as fuck, but this will live rent free in my head.

From Fairfield, surprised there's bigfoot hunters in Gburg, I thought it was all ghost hunters

The sightings are actually along 116 by the golf course going into Fairfield from Gettysburg, it was in like '98 I think, my mom is from Fairfield, Pecher road haha

Just like mountain lions I'll believe it when I see it.

Not so much by people who don’t believe in bigfoot though.

Now that’s how you write a headline.

I work at a "haunted" mental asylum. Ill occasionally write "Get Out" on the basement walls with red berries (these ones don't stain the wall)

[removed]

You are my hero. I live in Westmoreland County. Maybe some day ill visit a museum dedicated to your work 😂

Oh it's true.

Clearfield county doesn't have much to do outside of getting stoned in the woods. There's only so much getting stoned in the woods before even that gets boring.

Gotta spice it up some how.

You might just make a believer out of me yet lol

We were active in Clearfield, Centre, Huntington, and Blair counties.

Either you have some more stones dumbass or....... A real bigfoot.... DUN DUN DUUUUUUUNNNN!!!!

This is a fake sighting.

I know this because I am not yet back in the state. I am still working overseas moonlighting for other cryptids until Saturday.

We really went all out. A friend had a husky that shed big clumps of fur. We'd snag the fur on branches like 6 feet up.

I frequent a couple table top gaming stores. One night I was playing a game with a friend and two older guys I'd never meant before. One of the guys looks at his watch and goes "Oh no! I have to leave! I have really important things to do!".

We all just said cool, we'd just continue without him. He sat there a minute longer and was saying things like "Yup, IMPORTANT STUFF TO DO!!". Finally the friend who knew him asks what he had to do. He looked around all conspiratorial and says "Bigfoot" in an exaggerated whisper.

Now at this point he had my attention. I ask where and it turns out he was out looking for my friends and I. I tell him all about our exploits.

I saw a bit of light leave his eyes. It broke his damn crazy heart.

that was me sorry

One poor kid in my son's class who was already well, I guess you would say troubled. Just disturbed in quite a few ways. Met him a few times and there was a nice kid under all the various behaviors.

To top it off his father somehow actually got himself all over the news and even worse the story made national news, no idea how. Guy said Bigfoot threw rocks at his camper. I ' think ' that was the whole story too. Just threw rocks.

I won't repeat how the son reacted , it wasn't good. We're not a big foot sighting area, I hear he took a lot of typical bullying nonsense for it.

So if Big Foot did exist why in hell would he walk around throwing rocks at campers? We lost track of the kid but I do think about him sometimes and hope he's ok.

I like that you know how to weave a tale. This was well worth the read. I’m choosing to believe this is true haha

The theory I like for Bigfoot, UFOs, ghosts, and Cryptids is that they are from other dimensions normally invisible to ours, but there are people or places where some kind of cross-dimensional transference occurs and they pop into our dimension briefly. So essentially they are all the same phenomenon. It’s a little too convenient of an explanation, but I like how it “feels” as a commentary on it.

:processing:

Save some pussy for the rest of us

Nah that’s way different. Seen twice on my grandfathers game cam set up on his property in Sullivan County. Just texted my brother to send me the pics I’ll send em right over to you

This gave me a much needed chuckle. Thank you.

You know. I live in cambria county. I frequent Blair, clearfield, and Indiana county. Not once have I heard of a local sighting. Nor have I actually met a fanatic in Public that wasn’t at a booth at an rv show

Why would you take the time to do this?

My cousin's friend's uncle-wife saw one just the other day while hiking at Beltzville National Park

[removed]

My FIL is 100% a believer. And he wants to talk about it often.

Bruh post them here!

My friends and I live in Indiana, and we were joking about it today. There weren't treads in the tracks because the snow had melted...

You talking about Lykens Valley Sasquatch Hunters?

you mean this?

I'm like an hour from there! I'll be sure to keep an eye out! Neat!

Sorry guys, it wasn’t Bigfoot, I was just outside with my shirt off again. I’ll do my best to remember to cover up during this time of year.

So, the Shaquille O'Neal went walking barefoot through the snow??

Well, that would be the only argument that would hold up to my husband's. When I mentioned this article to him, he looked me straight on and said, where are the skeletons? If sasquatch exists, what happens to their remains?

It's just dave don't worry about it

The thing is mountain lions are actually a thing that actually exist in the actual world. Big Foot is made up.

I’m a person who likes to agree with people and I agree with your comment

This near Centralia?

Those Republicans in rural PA will believe s anything. I need to put Trump flag on my Jeep and drive out there selling Holy water. I could use the money..😂

I was disappointed that it wasn’t the real article title.

With the amount of cameras in everyones pocket, if he hasn't been seen yet, probably not real. Unfortunatly.

First of all, don’t believe anything a cop or former cop has to say…

Link to the BFRO report.

https://www.bfro.net/GDB/show_report.asp?id=75305

Do you walk around in the snowy woods with bigfoot-sized prosthetic feet on? That's how I would do it.

100% agree. I figured bigfoot came from someone who saw a gorilla who didn't know what a gorilla is haha. Or another large primate haha.

The thing I love about mountain lions is that everyone says oh I know someone blah blah. In the last 10 years or so trail cameras have become such a thing that the woods are loaded with them. IMO if they were here they would have been hit by a car or had their picture taken haha.

Ask him where the Bigfoot skeletons are

So either 5-dimensional (move through 4 dimensions like we move through 3) beings or beings from færie? I feel like you have a solid premise for a modern fairy story right there, though honestly outside of the English speaking world there already is that sort of continuity from myth →fairy → folklore →urban legend/cryptids

Not necessarily. There are bobcat here and I’ve never seen one hit by a car. Cats like that are very elusive and have a much lower population density than stuff like deer since it takes a lot of area to have enough prey for them to eat. A lot of ppl in my area think they never left I disagree with that. They are migrating in from the Black Hills in South Dakota.

That's the case for the one in Connecticut but then it was...hit by a car haha. Ive seen bobcats in the wild before. But I get pictures of bobcats all the time on trail cameras. There's even a trapping season for bobcats.

Last year the PGC sold 45,000 furtakers licenses and 20,000 bobcat permits. That's a lot of steel in the ground that's baited for predators. If they were here someone would have caught one I would think.

I say they're not here but damn would it be crazy if someone caught one. That would be like having definitive proof of aliens haha.

Ugh I forgot they let people trap bobcats. I try not to judge but I don’t know how someone could kill a bobcat or a black bear for that matter.

The Florida mountain lion population was suspected to be in the 20s, and they were still getting hit by cars, in the everglades.

It’s classist and frankly vile to speak of the peoples of the hills in western PA in this manner.

You know what they say about big feet…

Props to the title on this, gave me a good laugh

Fetterman?

You listen to LPotL?

We had nothing else to do. Rural pa is certainly beautiful, but it's boring as fuck. It was a 45 minute drive to the nearest form of entertainment that wasn't drugs, booze, or lighting things on fire.

Post the photos!

Not sure what that is!

r/nottheonion

Big... foot?

I've seen a bobcat hit by a car by Beltsville. I was surprised how long it was when laid out

Would you be willing to come tell your story on /r/bigfootskeptics?

Yinzfoot

Haha, probably. I think I got banded from r/bigfoot a while back for telling people the truth.

Last Podcast on the Left, its a Paranormal/True Crime podcast. One of the hosts is Henry Zebrowski, who some might have seen on "Your Pretty Face is Going to Hell".

Anyway, Henry goes on CONSTANTLY with this exact theory about all paranormal events being extradimensional entities.

Its a really fun show, if you're into that kinda stuff.

Man that sucks. I’m such a wimp I would probably cry if I hit a bobcat or even a deer with my car lol.

"Bigger than a breadbox" was how bigfoot tracks were described by the Centre Daily Times when some tracks were found in the area in the 80s. My classmate swears the snow shoes they used to do it weren't that big.

I could easily see "faking evidence of Bigfoot" to be something that "getting stoned in the woods" would lead to.

Yeah, me too - hence /r/bigfootskeptics

Ah yes I’ve heard of it and honestly there may be some bleed over that caused me to first hear of this theory. I often find paranormal researchers to be sort of insufferable, but I should give it another try; I know people talk about the podcast as being solid.

You come across a lot of deer and bear skeletons in the woods? When an animal dies, it’s carcass is pretty much completely gone in a week

We can find old remains of other animals from time to time. We have never once come across a primate species in all of North America closely resembling a Bigfoot. All that exists are claims of people often alone.

That’s a fair point but maybe they toss their dead into a lake or take them deep into a cave.

we have found non human primate dna, hair samples from unknown creatures, hundreds of footprints that aren’t just fake tracks that some teenagers put there.(see professor of anatomy and anthropology at Idaho state Jeff Meldrum) Thousands of credible visual sightings from experienced woodsmen.

Based on that you would think it’s worthy of further study by the government. The govt loves wasting money on shit like this and yet they’ve done nothing. That’s weird to me

It's on the internet, it's gotta be real.

...big shoes?

But we have physical bones of currently known animal species that have lived and died in North America for tens of thousands of years. We don’t have one bit of concrete evidence of a supersized human like primate. Tracks can be faked, it is possible and I’m sure you can agree. Everything had been unknown to us at one time. New species are always being discovered.

For the sake of argument, if you enough people claim to see a chupacabras, or more unlikely, leprechauns let’s say, and all we had were eyewitness accounts and unknown tracks and fur, should this be enough to spend public funding searching for these animals?

I didn’t think we needed concrete evidence to warrant further study. That doesn’t make sense. We have a lot of circumstantial evidence which deserves further study. I’ll take the word of an expert who’s studied the footprints for decades when he says that some would be more or less impossible to fake

So you’re saying leprechauns are comparable to a human like primate in feasibility? If we had dna evidence, thousands of visual sightings and tracks and fur of course it would be enough to look into it further. That’s what science is, studying things that you have evidence for to see if it’s true

Its equally entertaining as it is educational. Some might find it too crude, as the hosts say basically whatever. (I've got funny looks from pedestrians when listening stopped at a light.)

I remember one of those bigfoot documentaries the Bigfoot group was bringing out radios that put out weird noises saying "well we need to be able to both scare if off if needed or potentially attract it"

Upon hearing other very similar weird noises in the woods "oh wow listen to that, must be bigfoot! maybe some secret form of communication!"

You don't have to be a "wimp" to be upset in that situation. Guys get so much crap for showing emotions, there's nothing wrong with having them

Though the repair bill itself would be enough to make someone cry if they hit a deer

Only if all photos of him are blurry

I’m a person who likes to argue with people and I agree with your comment.

So god is a cryptid? Totally exists but is invisible.

I believe he was chillin’ with jfk jr.

I’ll check it out. I don’t mind crude, but also don’t really like Cumtown or find it very funny, so I guess there’s a line for me. It’s also an area that interests me so I should probs give it a listen. Thanks for the recommendation!

I mean I don’t think I would be like balling hysterically or anything but animal stuff gets to me anymore. I got 2 cats a few years ago which I adore and it rubbed off on all animals now.

But yeah part of it would be from the repairs lol.

Honestly moments of divine clarity, god appearing before people, miracles and that kind of thing could be explained by this theory. Not much evidence for it, but it feels like a nice clean theory albeit maybe a bit too convenient

"deer are the main protein source for sasquatches."

Someone explain how they “know” this

Big shoes?

I am a person and I agree with your comments.

"Not much" lol.

Just because it sounds like a nice theory doesn't mean it is all true.

Agreed, we need to see the cats. Pspspsps

I was using a hypothetical. If enough people want to believe in leprechauns then they will think they see them. What’s a leprechaun but a tiny human? Imagine the opposite of a Bigfoot. Instead of large tracks there could be tiny foot tracks. Seems just as possible. We have just as many leprechaun bones as we do Bigfoot ones.

Some dumbass is gonna shoot him.

Yep, which is why I included that qualifier, along with saying the explanation is “maybe a little too convenient”

I’m in no way saying it’s true, just that I like the theory, from an existential perspective. It’s fun to philosophize about this stuff, not trying to convince anyone this theory is true. Just fun to think about

So larger than normal stride footprints with no shoe tread? Ok

Socks cost more

Not gonna lie, you had me in the first half....

That was just me training in my ghillie suit. I spent more than a decade doing 20km patrols through the mountains of Afghanistan with 45kg on my back while being shot at by people who can't read and don't want to learn how.

I notice how you completely ignore my point about it being something worthy of further study. We know a giant ape lived up until about 100,000 years ago and all we have to show for it is 4partial jawbones and some teeth. We’ve catalogued probably less than 1/4 of all species on the planet. Combine that with all the aforementioned evidence and it’s absolutely plausible that it exists and warrants further(read:any at all) study.

You don’t have to look into it, but if you do I think you might have more of an open mind about it.

I guess they are trying to claim it was a large print that looked like a shoe but no treads. That really isn’t the best argument. Shit like moccasins exist.

To answer your point about being worthy of study, hearsay and circumstantial evidence doesn’t seem to be enough for scientific research into the matter. If it were, you better believe there would be droves of studies and researchers out looking and finding the evidence out there. The notoriety alone would be enough motivation for some but the mostly finding an unknown bipedal human like ape in our backyard would be groundbreaking. It hasn’t happened. Why not?

This should just be posted on r/bigfoot. One big nod fest. "Yes, I agree." "Yes, me too!" How about that?

[deleted]

Bigfoot is on the internet? What's his reddit username?

I believe in bigfoot. I don't believe in moccasins. I'm not that gullible.

Sorry guys, it was me. I was camping and got the bubble guts after eating fried squirrel and hurried far away from my tent before having mud butt capable of clogging any normal commode against a tree. It was fortunate I avoided the swamp ass. With a dump that large, you know I’m the real deal.

Hahahaha I'm dying

"Esteemed sasquatch researcher." 🤣🤣🤣

It's amazing how tangled up they get. Just a bunch of lies and tall tales stacked up for generations.

https://youtu.be/ls0_zdX2SRw

They bury their dead.

Ok, and so do some serial killers, but we occasionally stumble upon even some of those unmarked graves sometimes

Nah. I just walk around normal. That is terrifying enough for most people.

Yep. I didn't know we had anything called Lykens Valley Sasquatch Hunters. This is such a beautiful area, as pretty as any part of our singularly beautiful state, you know? Love to be in the news for say " Strip mining scars now healed and reclaimed by forest " ( it has, makes me pull the car over and absolutely savor the sight ) and " Underground Railroad House saved from demolition " ( unfortunately not true, one not far from here now features a now defunct Arby's, but there are more needing attention ).

SO many features making Lykens and surrounding areas SO notable. We make it for Bigfoot throwing rocks.
