Ok catching shit from my two teenagers cuz dad believes in Bigfoot

Yup I’m the object of ridicule this morning over oatmeal. The boys are telling brad yea dad is weird yesterday walking out from trout fishing the old man stopped and did some wood knocking and guess what we heard. NOTHING not a thing in my defense how can people have all of these sightings and experiences and not be truthful,I myself have never had experience but I’d love to experience it why where we were fishing they found footprints years ago and took pictures and cast the prints. You gotta have a open mind I tell my two boys I just get smiles.

2. Just because something's existence is improbable doesn't mean it is impossible

For me, life without whimsy, dreams and the hope to see, discover or realize something unexpected and spectacular would be a sterile, boring life.

One of my favorite quotes from Shakespeare:

"There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy."

3. I saw this guy all the time. Dr. Krantz, a professor at Washington State University.

He lived right down the street from a buddy and his truck with the cage in case he captured one alive was parked in his driveway.

I can't say I actually believe now, but I love that shit! It would be totally cool if they did prove their existence or recent existence anyway.

It sure seems to me that if anyone was serious about finding them now, it should be pretty easy. With thermal imaging technology and everything else, they should be easy to spot. There would be areas where if they saw a group of them moving around easily, you would know they were not people.

A buddy of mine goes "squatching" all the time. I live in north central Idaho. He claims to find signs of them all the time. His footprint pics and casts are never as convincing as some I saw back in the 70's when it was a huge deal.

And the Loch Ness Monster.

But the only evidence for the existence of either is either dubious in origin, at best, or outright hoaxes.

I still feel a sense of child-like wonder at the thought that there is a plesiosaur-like creature living in the peaty depths of the loch. But the scientist in me shrugs sadly at the lack of any credible evidence. I know that animals like the okapi and the gorilla were discovered long after some zoologist declared that every large animal that could be discovered, had been discovered. But that was over a century ago. Our powers of investigation and discovery have increased by a huge margin since.
