You never know what's out there. Some of these guys i work with should be studied much less Bigfoot.
I don't want to derail the thread too much, but I think you hit on an important point there. Particularly if you look at aliens, who are we to say they don't exist? Claims have been faked, but how sure can we possibly be that "we're the only ones?" Seriously?
Space is vast. Incredibly vast. To paraphrase the movie "Contact," if we're the only ones, what a massive waste of space! I personally believe it is incredibly arrogant of us as a species to say that there is absolutely no chance of intelligent life outside this planet.
With that said though, I am a believer, and I also believe in alien visitations here. I believe evidence has been suppressed and an attitude of skepticism encouraged....because it would be a SHATTERING revelation if it came out. People of various religions would be forced to soul-search or redefine their beliefs to fit the revelation. Worldwide, our lives would change in an instant. There's a chance there could be mass hysteria. Not to mention what would happen on a geopolitical level if it came out that the US and Russia have gleaned technology from alien diplomacy or from salvaged wreckage.
So there's a case to be made for a keeping a skeptic public in the status quo.
kreepy,but fiction after all these years no one has ever found one dead or alive
may have seen one while fishing... not really sure..

I want to see a "Ghost Chasers" episode where they film Bigfoot riding the Loch Ness Monster while jousting with a Chupacabra riding a Yeti.
That would be much more interesting than the episode where they interviewed Vampires and Werewolves who had been abducted by Aliens.
that explains it.
Every so often something new or something we thought lost for years turns up on a thick forest someplace.
There is a tenured biology professor at the nearby Univ of Idaho who is always appearing on Monster Quest and similar shows as a supporter of the existence of Bigfoot.
Whenever I meet a faculty member from there I ask if they know him-invariably, before I can get his whole name out they cut me off, expressing their embarrassment of his very existence and sometimes saying that he is the best argument again tenure!!
Oh I don't know... I like urban legends and mysterious things.
BIg Foot is one that I never spent a lot of time on though.
Could be it exists. I prefer things like the dyatlov pass incident or the chase vault mystery. Oh and let's not forget Oak Island. Classic.
