Guest Arnold_OldSchool Posted April 1, 2006 Report Posted April 1, 2006 http://www.bfro.net/news/silver_star_mountain.asp November 17, 2005 - outside Yacolt, WA A backpacker from Vancouver, Washington, took these photos on Silver Star Mountain in Gifford Pinchot National Forest on November 17. He says he doesn't know what the figure was, but he does not believe it was another hiker or backpacker. The photos are inconclusive, but they are potentially relevant. The figure you see could be a sasquatch. The silhouette is comparable to the lanky silhouette in the Marble Mountains footage. It also looks similar to some eyewitness sketches. As in the Marble Mountains footage , there's nothing in the outline to indicate that it's another person (except for the upright posture). There's no lines indicating clothing or a pack. The lump on the neck could easily be a clump of hair, similar to what you can see in the PGF. Most snowshoers or backpackers in these conditions would look different than this silhouette. It will be useful to compare images of an equipped snowshoer or backpacker standing at this same spot at the same time of day. We're hoping a few different people will heed our recommendation and go up there to get some comparison photos. The terrain and present conditions helps and hinders attempts to get more photos/footage in this area. Deep snow on the ridges makes it more difficult for a photographer to move around up there, but it also makes it easier to spot trackways and movement. It won't hurt to suggest to people in Washougal and Yacolt to carry a camera when driving around.
Sideburnious Posted April 1, 2006 Report Posted April 1, 2006 No way it's him. I don't see his wrist watch.
Guest Arnold_OldSchool Posted April 1, 2006 Report Posted April 1, 2006 uh oh better just use the link....
Boon Posted April 1, 2006 Report Posted April 1, 2006 Did MythBusters ever do a segment on Bigfoot? I feel like they did, but I can't remember.
The Metal Maniac Posted April 5, 2006 Report Posted April 5, 2006 A rock that moved while someone was taking pictures of it? I'd like to see that rock.
Guest InuYasha Posted April 5, 2006 Report Posted April 5, 2006 Did MythBusters ever do a segment on Bigfoot? I feel like they did, but I can't remember. They did a gag-commercial advertising the show with a Bigfoot character.
theintensifier Posted April 6, 2006 Report Posted April 6, 2006 They're suggesting that people go up there and look for something that could possibly be a man-eating being ? Brillant.
Art Sandusky Posted April 6, 2006 Report Posted April 6, 2006 Any sasquatch/bigfoot wouldn't be man-eating.
Carnival Posted April 6, 2006 Report Posted April 6, 2006 A rock that moved while someone was taking pictures of it? I'd like to see that rock. camera angles
theintensifier Posted April 6, 2006 Report Posted April 6, 2006 Any sasquatch/bigfoot wouldn't be man-eating. I never thought Triple H would come out looking like Thor and Conan. Catch my drift ?
The Metal Maniac Posted April 6, 2006 Report Posted April 6, 2006 A rock that moved while someone was taking pictures of it? I'd like to see that rock. camera angles Then how come everything else in the two pictures (like those bushes) seems to be in almost the exact same locations? They're certainly not as moved around as that "rock" would have to be.
Carnival Posted April 6, 2006 Report Posted April 6, 2006 but those trees to the right, the mountains in the distance, and the rocks at the bottom of the frame say otherwise.
The Metal Maniac Posted April 6, 2006 Report Posted April 6, 2006 Yeah, so I'm blind and didn't see the rocks at the bottom. I still don't think that thing is a rock though; I'd say it's most probably just some other backpacker who doesn't look like most backpackers.
Carnival Posted April 6, 2006 Report Posted April 6, 2006 Fuck bigfoot. I'd like to see you fight him...I bet he wouldn't be as slow as ya think. You'd catch one hell of a beatdown.
Guest Fook Posted April 7, 2006 Report Posted April 7, 2006 "I think Bigfoot is blurry, that's the problem. It's not the photographer's fault. Bigfoot is blurry. And that's extra scary to me, because there's a large, out-of-focus monster roaming the countryside." - Mitch Hedburg
Guest Arnold_OldSchool Posted April 7, 2006 Report Posted April 7, 2006 The 4th pic is really the one that sells it for me, as you can see the space where its arms are away from its body that is visable from the other pics
Guest Arnold_OldSchool Posted April 7, 2006 Report Posted April 7, 2006 The photo shows a red-haired female bigfoot. Her face doesn't have any hair on it. Her mouth is closed, lips together. She has a big round mouth like a monkey, but there's a deep phylum on the upper lip. The detail of the ear looks very human. The nose is hard to make out, but seems human-like. She has a beard both on and below her chin. Her breasts are small (one is hidden behind what she is holding up to the camera). The nipple is visible on her left breast and between the breasts is a clump of red hair. Her left hand is resting on or clasping the arm rest of a metal chair, her thumb is clearly visible and has a black nail. The juvenile looks to have dark hair. It's round looking ear is at the tip of the adult's thumb in the photo. The juvenile is looking directly at the camera.
Dobbs 3K Posted April 7, 2006 Report Posted April 7, 2006 There is no Bigfoot. At least in North America. With all the yahoos out looking for him, at least a skeleton or some fur would've turned up by now. All they've ever come up with are blurry photos and disproven video footage. I could buy that there's a "Yeti" type creature in Asia, since the idea of a mountain gorilla thing that lives in a remote area is at least believable. But there doesn't seem to be any conclusive evidence that there could be a sustainable population of "Sasquatch" in any part of the US.
Guest Arnold_OldSchool Posted April 7, 2006 Report Posted April 7, 2006 The Pacific Northwest is dense and very much capable of making an ideal habitat for such a creature. BTW the 2nd picture/story I posted was a recent example of a poor bigfoot sighting/pic that only seems to hurt the believers cases in the long run
Guest Arnold_OldSchool Posted April 7, 2006 Report Posted April 7, 2006 I guess I should go with "How many bears have you seen in the wild?" "How many bear bodies have you found in the wild" Well there's XXXXXX many bears in the US and only XXX many Big foot so clearly Bigfoot could be around.
Slayer Posted April 7, 2006 Report Posted April 7, 2006 The photo shows a red-haired female bigfoot. The shadows are all wrong
Failed Bridge Posted April 10, 2006 Report Posted April 10, 2006 they should see if Robin Williams was in the area before throwing out the Bigfoot accusations.
Dobbs 3K Posted April 10, 2006 Report Posted April 10, 2006 Yes, I have seen one bear in the wild (it was a very young one in a trap). My in-laws had about 19 bears either trapped or shot on their property a couple years ago (they live in Northern Wisconsin). I've never seen bear bones, but I could if I wanted to, as my wife's uncle shot a large adult bear last year, and I believe he still has part of the carcass. Can't say the same for Bigfoot. Yes, the Pacific Northwest is very dense, but probably hundreds of people have gone there over the last 50 years or so looking for any sign of a Sasquatch or similar creature, and no conclusive evidence has been found. Of course, this is just the old "make me prove a negative" argument. No, I can't prove that there _isn't_ a Bigfoot. I can't prove that there aren't magical woodland fairies either, because they could be invisible or very small.
