This picture showed up on my FB feed this morning as I had taken it 8 years ago today. I was hiking near Table Rock (Southern Oregon) with a buddy of mine. I stepped away from the trail to take a leak and happened upon this sight. The print was well over a foot long. I actually sent the pic to some type of bigfoot research site. They were very interested, but since I hadn't taken the pic with a dollar bill or such next to it as to show size, they really couldn't use the pic. Ahh, well. At any rate, it was very convincing to me that bigfoot actually exists. Prior to that, I was highly skeptical. Judge for yourself.
Nexttime toss something down for reference. a lighter, your foot. a hand. Anything to have a better comparison of size compared to the foliage around, which can be very deceiving. Maybe this is a satellite image and those green plants are 50' tall trees and your bigfoot stands 500' tall? LOL. But yeah. Anything for reference is always much better. How long did you spend looking for bigfoot after taking the picture?
I have always hoped Bigfoot was real. I am really into unexplained phenomena. Part of me believes he is real, but part of me is a huge skeptic. There have been so many fraudulent sightings of big foot, where it was a dude in an ape suit, or someone strapped on a large foot shaped plank of wood to their feet to make large Bigfoot prints and fool people, that it has made me highly suspicious everytime I see a picture claiming such. Your right, that looks over a foot long, probably a foot and a half at least. I find the unevenness of the print interesting. With a faked plank footprint you would expect more of a symmetry in the outline of the print. The toes seem off to me though. There seems to be a border between the toes and the foot. The heel too seems a bit narrow for a creature with such a large print. Hard to really tell though without the size comparison. Should have put that dollar down. It could be real. A big foot. It could be multiple prints overlying one another. Or it could be faked by you or some one else.
Well, it absolutely wasn't faked by me. The interesting thing to me is, had this print been right next to a trail, I would have immediately thought is was a fake, somehow manufactured by someone. The fact that it was a good ways off the trail, though, had/has me believing it's absolutely genuine - whether bigfoot, or naturally created somehow.
Yeah, that is interesting too. Fakes are usually found near or on a trail, usually found by the person who planted it or by an unwitting member of the party he is with. Oh, not accusing you of faking it, just throwing all the possibilities out there.
Not a sasquatch believer at all, and I would have a great deal of difficulty believing that a single print was genuine if it were the only one in the area. It seems highly unlikely that a creature with a foot that size would make one print without making several others.
That's what had me puzzled, as well. Although, this was the only area free of vegetation. I was definitely looking around for other prints, though, and didn't find any.
My grandpa was a commercial fisherman in Alaska. He claims to have seen bigfoot. He is on a show called Mystery Alaska explaining his bigfoot sighting. He took a lie detector test and the results were explained that he certainly believed what he said...I can find the youtube link to share.
Ditto...and everybody has a cell phone that take hi-def videos, yet no one has produced a decent compelling video.
His name is Bob and he lives in my basement. Sometimes I take him for a walk near Table Rock. You didn't find my footprints because I wear moccasins and tread lightly. We occasionally feed on wandering hikers. Let me know when you'll be there again.
What if the feet were actually quite small compared to the length of his legs. Maybe the next footfall is half a mile away. Bigfoot is actually Smallfoot. barfo
