Summary of Bigfoot Thoughts

Beginning around 2010 there has been what seems like an ever-growing interest in the topic of Bigfoot.  The show "Finding Bigfoot" ran for 9 seasons beginning in 2011 and interest from the show opened the floodgates for a huge number of amateur "Bigfoot Hunters".   


In the past isolated evidence, which indicated potential Bigfoot activity was periodically discovered.  New, credible information showed up every few years.   Each of these discoveries were investigated by a wide range of individuals; many of whom were legitimate scientists.


Today, anyone can host a YouTube channel documenting their personal quest for uncovering the truth about Bigfoot.   Many of these people want to believe that Bigfoot is an alien, a shape shifter, or is able to travel between planes of reality using portals.   Suddenly, every odd sound at night in any location which might have trees, is a Bigfoot.  Every tree that has fallen over is a tree-structure.   Bigfoot is everywhere and he is out to get you!



These extreme ideas muddy the Bigfoot waters and simply add noise to any scientific data which might be present.  All I can say is to be careful of who you listen to.    


Myself, I must have definitive, scientific proof before I make up my mind on the topic; regardless of how much I "want to believe".  



The following was taken from the closing statement of my book "Bigfoot is Real".

"In Closing – The Final Alternative Ending

 

I find that after having written this book, I am no closer to understanding Bigfoot than I was when I started investigating the entire phenomena over 50 years ago.

 

I can make the following statement with 100% confidence. 

 

It does not matter what we believe.  Bigfoot exists, or does not exist as a physical creature independent upon what we believe.

 

I will keep searching for additional clues of the animal.  Nothing could please me more than somebody making the discovery of Bigfoot at some time before I pass away. 

However, until more convincing evidence is uncovered, analyzed, and a scientific determination is made that Bigfoot is a living, breathing animal, Bigfoot must remain firmly lodged within the realm of Legend."
