This is funny. If the shreds of "monkey suit" found in his basement can somehow be linked with Roger Patterson and his 1967 movie, the true believers will be in a bad way.
But Bigfoot is like Elvis - he'll always be with us.

crop circles

there will always be the true believers for stuff like this.
Crop circles are an excellent example. The true believers still believe. Despite admissions of the pranksters being caught. Despite demonstrations of how easy it is to make oddly perfect circles and straight lines with the same mysterious and other worldy advanced tools the Egyptians used to do their works... a string and a stake in the ground, and a 5th grade understanding of geometry. Despite infrared and night vision photos of pranksters at work in fields.... they still believe.
The reason? Just because *some* circles are hoaxes, doesn't *prove* every single one is! Some of them could still be aliens or extradimensional beings who cross time and/or space to make circles in wheat fields on earth to send us messages. If you can cross time and space to send a message, couldn't it be done a bit clearer than crushing wheat stalks in the hinterlands? How about calling Geraldo up and asking for an interview?
The truth is out there..... but that doesn't prevent some from not believing it!

LOL
I saw a documentary on the patterson firm awhile back that seemed to pretty much debunk it as "proof." They actually went to the site and took measurements and compared it to what is known about the camera. They also interviewed anthropologists or physiologists. Grover Krantz (WSU Antrhopology Prof. and true believer) said it could not be a man in a suit. Everyone else said it could be.
I'd like to believe there's a large shy ape in the Cascades, but I really can't. I've always wanted to transplant some of those Japanese monkeys, though. They'd be more fun than Racoons Other states/provinces can keep the Grizzlies, though.

Me too, I'd like to believe but I don't. My family has been living in Washington state for 5 generations...I am of the 4th, and we have all been hunting/fishing/mountain/woods folk since great grandpa settled here in the 1800s, and at no time has any of our clan ever run across such a beast. When my grandfather was born in the late 1890s here, he eventually bought property in what was then still pretty wild around Oso, Washington...we still own that land today. In his travels (he was as adventureous as I..probably where I get it from) he never saw any beast either (Bigfoot). Could there be such a beast, I seriously doubt it. If it's out there, it doesn't walk the obscure places I've been...

Interesting topic.

My brother has a bigfoot website (http://www.bigfootinfo.org) He is currently redesigning the site. The recent news bummed him out, but he still wants to believe that something is out there.
I change my mind on this subject constantly, I have even went to a couple conferences with my bro to see what it's all about. Besides, gives us a good excuse to get outdoors
