Rick Jacobs says he got the pictures from a camera with an automatic trigger that he fastened to a tree in the Allegheny National Forest, about 115 miles northeast of Pittsburgh, hoping to photograph deer.
"It appears to be a primate-like animal. In my opinion, it appears to be a juvenile Sasquatch," said Paul Majeta of the bigfoot group.
However, the Pennsylvania Game Commission has a more conventional opinion. Agency spokesman Jerry Feaser said conservation officers routinely trap bears to be tagged and often see animals that look like the photos.
"There is no question it is a bear with a severe case of mange," Feaser told The Bradford Era.
Do YOU believe in bigfoot?
I believe in Snuffleupagus
If that is bigfoot ... why is it walking on all fours??? Everyone knows bigfoot is bipedal. What, is it doing yoga or something? As far as I know, the only bigfoots that do yoga are in California.
Seriously, if there were bigfoots we'd have found some serious evidence by now - a carcass, some bones, shoot one, something. What I find interesting is the widespread prevalence of this sort of crypto-creature. Big-foot, Yeti, and even Austalia has a Yowie, which is much the same... an elusive, bipedal, very tall, hairy humanoid, only glimpsed at night in remote bushlands... I wonder if there is, in the collective unconscious, some primitive nightmare based on Neanderthals or such, that emerges in the minds of people who fall into a semi-sleep state while out late at night alone in the woods...
EDIT: FTR, I voted: I doubt it, because proving something doesn't exist is very hard. I very strongly doubt it. But it isn't absolutely impossible, some yet to be discovered large mammal species roaming a heavily populated continent...
good theory. but weren't neaderthals short? still...it almost makes sense.....Like in the book 'Childhood's End'

neanderthals short? Yes and no. The great font of Wiki teaches:
On average, Neanderthal males stood about 1.65 m tall (just under 5' 5") and were heavily built with robust bone structure. Females were about 1.53 to 1.57 m tall (about 5'–5'2").
I sit corrected. Although, this is short by modern standards, but our ancestors 100,000 years ago were much shorter than we are now. So maybe Neanderthals were big, by old standards. Or, more likely, the fear of the image has increased it's size, or perhaps it was fearful to children ... or it refers to something other than Neanderthals (maybe merely strangers from a different clan?) ... or ... is it obvious that I am just making this up?
I'll drop the Neanderthals link, but some kind of semi-sleeping nightmare from sleep deprived people wandering about the bush, I find plausible.
If that is ...bigfoots ....
Wouldn't that be "bigfeet"?

Haven't you read that they can anticipate their own deaths? When they are close to death, they jump into the neareast active volcano - even their bones burn to nothing! And they are impervious to all human weapons. ;)

Bigfoot? No.
Florida Skunk Ape? That's another story...
Bigfoot? No. Florida Skunk Ape? That's another story...
Interesting that the eyes don't reflect red or green.
I saw him once when I was a kid. Here is his picture.

What, do you have teethbrushes in your bathroom?
Volcanoes ... Giant monkeys ... Impervious to weapons ... Why do I feel this is about to merge into the scientology thread?

That would make it "bigsfoots".;)

More like Flying Spaghetti Monster. "Bigfoot said 'let there be light'".
Yanno what they say about big feet....

The great thing about bumbles is that Bumbles Bounce!
:D I loved Bumbles when I was a kid [SIZE="1"][COLOR="LemonChiffon"]{I still do}[/COLOR][/SIZE], one of the best Christmas cartoons on at that time of the year. :D

But not one of the best Christmas cartoons on at other times of the year? Please explain.
Goofy boy.
Side note: It's The Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown is on tonight! :) Worth missing even NCIS for!

Because then it would have been redundantly redundant and it would not have been that special time of the year that only came when it was Christmas.
Jeezus, Bumble scared the heck out of me when I was a kid. Isn't he more of a Yeti, instead of a Bigfoot?

Yea, but when I was a kid they were all the same to me. Bigfoot was just a low-land Yeti. :D
Seriously Merc, change ya fucking usertitle or I am gonna come bitch slap you :)
Little-known fact: Pennsylvania leads the rest of the country in Bigfoot sightings. Yes, it's true. Us Pennsylvanians see Bigfoot more in one year than the rest of the USA combined!
I read that in the book "Weird Pennsylvania". Full of interesting ghost stories and such.
That's cause PA gets the best weed.
I thought the Foot was thought to be in the Pacific Northwest.
edit: did a bit of research, there are multiple versions of the Foot
such as the Yeti of Tibet and Nepal, the Yeren of mainland China, and the Yowie of Australia.
--source Wikipedia
But I'm still surprised about the PA sightings, further research:
2007: On September 16, 2007, hunter Rick Jacobs captured an image of a possible sasquatch using an automatically triggered camera attached to a tree. A spokesperson for the Pennsylania Game Commission challenged the Bigfoot explanation, saying that it looked like "a bear with a severe case of mange."[30] The sighting happened near the town of Ridgway, Pennsylvania in the Allegheny National Forest, which is about 115 miles north of Pittsburgh.
So, I learned more about Bigfoot today. Now, how to apply that to my life. Ahhh, here we go:
Bigfoot is sometimes described as a large, hairy bipedal hominoid.
Sounds like some guys I've dated. :eek:
I thought the Northwesterners called (him?) Sasquatch???
Bigfoot [a.k.a. Abominable Snowman of the Himalayas, Mapinguari (the Amazon), Sasquatch, Yowie (Australia) and Yeti (Asia)][/I]
From the
skeptic's dictionary
He has many names. One lesser known is "Shawnee's ex-boyfriend."

bigfoot special!
