For years we have heard about big foot sitings, do you feel there is a possible that this 7 foot ape link man is the missing link between animal and human and that he really exists? He would have to have a mate to survive too. here is an except from the latest story on bigfoot sitings: The outfit responsible for last Friday's press conference promising scientific proof that Bigfoot exists has admitted the whole thing was a hoax. According to SearchingforBigfoot.com impresario Tom Biscardi, the two men who approached him last month claiming they possessed the frozen carcass of a 7-foot-tall ape-like thingamajiggy from the backwoods of Georgia were frauds. for the full story go here http://urbanlegends.about.com/b/2008/08/19/bigfoot-big-hoax.htm?nl=1

I don't think so but one thing I am quite certain about is that maybe in the past- in premature ages- bigfoot did exist. The movie 'Bigfoot' is a cool movie too, just check it out friend.

Well if he does exist I surely don't want to meet up with him/her anytime soon. I seen the story you are talking about on the news. It is a shame what others will do for publicity.

It is possible. There are still a bird or two that they discover and new plants at times. Also time being a man made thing, dimensional things could be seen if they exist. A bit too deep for me. The hoax was not a good thing to do. A shame folks have to do such things. I hope that creatures do exist to keep our world an intersting place like it is supposed to be.

im so mad at how they faked the whole thing.. i really think he exist but we will never find out if idiots keep faking everything no one wants to fund something that has been associated with stupidity lol.. but i think the person may not be a totally different species but maybe a person with that werewolf syndrome.. the thing that makes you literally have hair every where and on your face etc.. it runs in the family blood line so maybe it started out with one person running out and then they had a family and all of them had it and they had isolated themselves so much that maybe they are totally ignorant on how to interact with anyone.. but who knows

only big foot is larger than man, between 7 and 9 feet tall though. That is if it exists at all.

could be a gene mutation.. plus if you watch the documentaries on tall people there have been a few featured that are like 7 and a half feet tall which is closer to the height.. but who knows

this is the first in a long time I have heard about Big Foot and was sorry that it turned to be a hoax. How could they think to get away with that? Once I saw a peice about one in one of those rags ya buy like the Enquirer . and had pics of a whole family of them. with little ones too. and it was to be way up in the forrest of I think Montana. ya know ya just never know what could be out there. in the vast wilderness but then looks like all these years that some one could have captured one alive to prove it.

I don't think big foot exists, I find it funny how it was first seen on the west coast and now it's everywhere. It supposely lives in the mountains here in Tennessee and it likes garlic according to some people, . So without proof, I won't believe any of it, some of the stories on the west coast is scarey. They say they hear something really big digging in the trash and such. I think if it was real, we would be able to see it more often, and get pictures for proof. We would see smaller ones running around because to survive, you need a male and a female. Would be interesting though if it was real. Is there any stories of them running around in Canada?

I think it's like a lot of things...it depends on the person. Some ppl believe in Bigfoot, the Lochness Monster, Vampires, Leprachauns, Aliens and various other things. Along with those believers are ppl that are desperate to prove to the worls that they exist. The guy holding the press conference should have waited till it could be verified before going any further or giving the guys any money. [b]~~AT PEACE WITHIN~~ **STAND STRONG IN YOUR BELIEFS**[/b]

Thought that would turn out to be a Hoax! I don't think that he exists like you should he would need a mate to make babies and keep the lines going on down and if that was the case I could believe that maybe one would be able to hide from humans for so long but not if there was more then one and say if yes there was one once years ago then he for sure would still be alive today! Everything has to die one day right, but we get sucked into watching things like this too all the time like the monster quest shows and the likes.

I believe that there might be a big burly mountain man, or a large bear or something that exists. I don't think that there is an actual big foot like creature. Just probably a normal animal that someone saw through an obstructed view or something. The legend has been around since I was a kid and I am in my 40's, and it was probably around before that. I think in that many years they would have found him by now.

After watching the footage of "Big Foot" I think that they may be real. I even understand the reasoning why we don't find there bodies once they die. I hope in the next couple years I can go on a big foot hunt!

I do think Bigfoot exists. A lot of people like to cite the fact that one of the earliest "evidence" was later said to be faked and so because the 'initial' evidence was fake, then that should say something. What they fail to take into account is that even Native Americans talked about creatures similar to what we call Bigfoot in legends and whatever well before. As for that with the conference, I was really disappointed that the whole thing with the alleged find by those two guys was just a hoax. Not unexpected, but still disappointing.

I saw stories about this. That it is just a big hoax. In my opinion someone has just way too much free time on their hands to go to this extent to play a hoax.

i guess i stick to the saying as to see is to believe and i do stand by on it when it terms to something like that...i guess its just fiction which sometimes jsut a figment of imagination..which usually starts when one sees a movies depicting the life of big foot...and some maybe due to popularity ..or whatever..

big foot is a legend so people will always be convinced that they have seen it, they may have seen something but nobody has ever proven that it was or is big foot.

I'm not sure. There seem to be a lot of really strange things going on in some places. I mean, we really can't explain the ape like creatures that many people claim to see. And how can we explain the sightings of several of the big foot creatures in some areas? I'm sure some of the evidence is faked. I'm sure some of them are lying but it all just seems rather strange to be such a huge phenomena in some parts of the world.

I would agree with those who state that there is a yetti or sasquach or big foot. Peoples from all over the world have seen these beings and have reported it. And these being have sometimes left hairs and foot prints left behind to back up the people's claims that they did indeed see something... In the court of law, eye witness reports are often used to convict or free individuals... We trust them when we have a need for them and yet in the area of Big Foot, UFOs, and many other things which seem odd to the masses, we say suddenly that we need a carcass to make something real or a live representative of the species that we can test. This is barbaric. We as a people are no longer wanting to settle now for photographs or recordings "as they could be fakes"... Our technologies have made us more skeptical and episodes of fakery do not help matters.

there has never been any reports to date that have been authenticated, even in a court of law eye witness testimony goes under great scrutiny, that is why there are always two lawyers representing different sides.

I think Bigfoot really exists cause, Im from Louisiana and me and my family lived around the wooded area. Well one time my uncle and some of my family went hunting for some deer. They rcall seeing a large ape looking type of animal about 6 to 8 feet tall running away from them they were shocked and started shooting at it and it just disappered into the woods. After that they go back and its never there. but they did see its tracks in the swampland. Not to long after that i moved a lil bit more south of Louisiana and went hunting with one of my friends behind his house all i had was a 22 rifle with night night vision scope. it was about 3 am in da morning, we were walking on the dirt road and we had a spot light and we were shining it in the tree area and we saw eyes of something really BIG and tall we couldnt really see wat it was cause it was about 100 yrds away but if u shine a spot light on an animals eyes its usally orange or a silver color but this thing was red, and like my family we shot at it and we were shining the light and it started to come straight for us so we started running and when we turned around with the spotlight it wasnt anywhere.... so yes i believe in bigfoot but i believe they have more than 1
