Yes. Locals knew about gorillas obviously but they weren't recognized by the scientific community until like, 1920 or something.
If any animal lives somewhere more desolate or is more elusive than a big fat stompy gorilla, Its not surprise we haven't found it.
I'll bet we start seeing weird shit down in south America with the mass deforestation occuring there, totally untouched isolated jungles have been cut down for farmland in the past decade .

There are plenty of high quality photos of wild animals.
It's 2022, most people have a high resolution camera in their pockets at all times. Any cryptid that exists anywhere within 1000s of miles of civilization would have many high resolution well lit photos by now.
The only possible place a weird undiscovered large lifeform could exist is deep in the ocean. Even the frozen northern expanses of Canada and Siberia are too heavily trafficked and explored to hide anything substantial.
Not the guy you were talking to but new creatures are discovered every day. Most wilderness is still unexplored and we only know a small fraction of what creatures live on the earth. Wilderness is wild, there isn't any heavy foot traffic. If you get lost in the wilderness you won't be ever be found due to how immense and uncharted it is. Just over a hundred years ago orangutans were considered cryptids. People didn't believe they were real. Hunters would bring out the carcass and people still wouldn't believe it was real.

Those "new creatures" range from a type of bacteria that is shaped slightly different or a bug that is a different color. They haven't been discovering wildly different animals in decades. The platypus was really the last animal that was like whoa wtf is that thing and that was in the late 1700s.

Forested wilderness is also vastly unexplored. You really overestimate how much of the world is known. People often crash Cessnas in the wilderness (27 foot long brightly colored white aircraft) and the crash sites are never found or aren't found for decades.

What gets me is when they just call something an uninhabitable or inhospitable climate and ignore it only to find out that there are hundreds of hunter-gatherer tribesmen living there decades later. Science is about exploration and discovery and it's become stagnant because academics care more about inflating their egos than making new discoveries.

can some truly massive unknown deep sea animal not exist?
2 years ago
Anonymous
Massive isn't really a factor. We can use energy equations and ecosystem models to predict ways energy filters to a variety or organisms in an environment. In these models, for the Pacific ocean, there's only room for about 5 unknown species the same size as a shark, or smaller depending on the population.
Any more than that, and the observations would no longer match up to the equations.

Let me break it down.
We can measure X amount of total energy in an ecosystem. And rule one of nature is nothing goes to waste.
There are 10bits of energy in the ecosystem, in total. We know about 3 species who live here. Species 1 eats 3 bits. Species 2 eats 3 more bits. Species 3 eats 2 bits. Now with that info we can extrapolate there's 2 more bits available, meaning there's either one more medium species or two more small species yet to be discovered

I remember reading once that we've only had confirmed chimpanzee fossils (as in, the earliest ancestor of what could conceivably be a chimp) since 2005 and it was something very insignificant, like a molar. It's apparently quite uncommon to actually find evidence of the lineage of a known animal. Think of all the shit that's stored away that doesn't match with anything on record.

I couldn't make a more incorrect statement if I tried. We're still discovering whole new ethnic groups of humans that have never had any contact with the outside world.
I live in Canada, British Columbia to be precise. Obviously, towns, roads, lakes, and rivers are clear. But if something wants to hide from you it can literally stand 5 feet in the forest and be completely invisible. The plants are just so fricking dense. Anyone could hide. A 500pound obese man wearing bright orange could hide in the woods next to my lawn and I wouldn't be able to see anything.
thousands of people have unexpectedly encountered bears in the wild and were able to take quality pictures and videos yet when it's the bigfoot it's always a blur.
Have you considered that a bear doesn't care/is unaware of the photographer whereas an intelligent ape may actively hide and avoid a human?

But what exactly makes it so only below 144p videos and pictures can be taken of cryptids when 15$ nonamephone from aliexpress can take videos and photos in fullHD and ultraHD?
Yes, tens of thousands of morons making fake shit motivated by the same thing.
That is not a lot compared to the millions of videos of animals and daily life.
And even videos of rare but confirmed animals always have a completely different feel to them because they aren't fake bullshit trying to be illusive. It is not difficult to tell when videos are intentionally trying to manipulate and deceive you.
That's because a cryptid is defined as an animal that there is no definitive proof of. When cryptids are discovered, like the Giant Squid, Mountain Gorillas, Wisconsin Dogmen, Coelacanth, etc, they cease to be cryptids they just become classified as regular animals.
Why do I find Mothman so comfy? I know shit all about him, most of my knowledge comes from San Andreas. But whenever I see stuff about him, I always find it super interesting and almost familiar
collector's curves, someone much better at explaining it than me made a youtube video last year called we're still missing 6 sea monsters. a new species of whale has been confirmed since dropping it down to 5.
I actually could believe that; however if it is real I just have a very hard time believing it's real refugia of a sauropod dinosaur. It's more likely that (if real) it's some sort of large reptile that just so happens to have a long neck or some anatomical feature that's suggestive of one.
Either ones in the amazon, deep in the congo, somewhere in summatra, or deep ocean.
Anywhere that's hard to get to really.
They only just found that tortoise near galapagos that was thought the be extinct 100 years ago.
If they cant find a surviving population of those big slow frickers there's more things out there.
Why are there never any photos/videos if cryptids that look alike?
Like there are tens of different animals in the world but you can go on the internet and find more than one photo of a particular type of bird or fish.
Yep, these ancient stories make ufo deniers seethe. Ufos are not a modern thing. People have been seeing silvery/metallic "shields", discs flying in the sky for thousands of years, all over the world
I’ve noticed a huge overlap between conservatives and schizos who believe that cryptids are real. I guess when you believe the election was stolen and that all of humanity came from two people it’s not too farfetched to think that the government is covering up Bigfoot and the Dogman.
There are actually studies (OMG STUDIES NOOO THEY'RE FAKE) correlating belief in one conspiracy theory to belief in other conspiracy theories. The thing is, once that initial resistance to belief is broken down ("I guess maybe the government DID do the twin towers...") it opens the floodgates to more. If you believe the israelites did 9/11, it's only a hop step and a jump until someone tells you that actually, israelites are running child porn rings under pizza restaurants and you believe them. From there, you can be "taught" anything.

If you legitimately believe in "cryptids" you are definitely dumb enough to eventually be misled into believing bullshit like "jews did 9/11", yes. It goes the other way, too, in the sense that you might be misled into believing "right wingers are literal nazis shooting children in the street".
Don't hide behind "muh cryptids are just unidentified animals". We both know that's not what's being talked about.
If you are so obsessed with playing teams in politics that you unironically believe that there aren't any animals that haven't been discovered yet you should seriously speak to a doctor.
There's a difference between every single animal categorized, which is why we categorize them as different animals after they've been studied. Try to stop seething about politics for just a second in your life and accept that you know next to nothing about the world. Pandas, orangutans, okapi, platypuses, colossal squid, the dodo bird, were all considered to be mythical cryptids. Unless you're omniscient, then you're wrong to say an animal you haven't seen doesn't exist. At best all you do is say "I haven't seen that, I don't know if that's real" and move on instead of seething about whether or not the people who told you about it have the same political stance as you.

If you think the US government didn't know about and consent to letting 9/11 happen you're hopelessly naive. Every single contact the terrorists had with the Saudi royal family and spook middlemen was known to the US intelligence community, insiders even knew what day to short stocks on.
Decades ago there were a lot of mental institutions in burgerland but were closed due to abusement towards the schizos. Now they run around freely and believe their television is sending them hidden messages, the moon landing is fake and universal health care is bad.

Humans are literally aliens. We live on a planet in space . We fly things to other planets.

Willow Creek isn't about bigfoot, it's about hillbilly rapists. The entire first act of the movie was about how the town knew they were in the woods abducting hikers but had turned it into a marketing thing through bigfoot. That's what the interview with the lady at the bigfoot museum was, that's why the Indian lady suddenly starts repressing her memory and asking for her dad while being interviewed. It was not bigfoot, it was hillbillies who abduct people.

Interesting story if you care but in one region in Africa suffering from a civil war, local militia were shooting and eating Chimps, said Chimps changed their habits so thoroughly they became nocturnal and completely avoided human contact to the point where the scientists studying them struggled to even keep track of their whereabouts let alone make contact with them.
As a family they would pack up their shit past sundown and migrate to a new area in the dark on a regular basis and they didn't exhibit the normal calling characteristics of chimps. Fascinating, at least to me.

Not that guy but just for your info you're more likely to survive a bear attack if you use mace or bangers than if you try to shoot it. If you try to shoot it, you'll just make it more mad and it'll frick you up worse before leaving you to die from the trauma of your injuries. Bears are built real sturdy and unless you're packing real heat your round won't even make it through it's skull. Seen pics of .357 magnum stuck in a bear's skull. Picrel is a .45 found lodged in a bear's forehead. Didn't even make it to the skull.
Anon people have shot lots of bears because bears are real.
Anon if you've ever shot a bear you'd know one bullet doesn't kill them. You can empty dozens into them and they wouldn't act like it. Animals, especially shit like ebars and gorillas, are tanks of terrifying strength.
If one of these animals were flighty even a good shot wouldn't kill it. And you wouldn't get a shot in.

Hunters don't just shoot shit because they can or something scares them. Scenario one, you've got this big human-like creature before you, do you shoot it to death and run the risk of it just being a person in a suit, which is the common claim here on Cinemaphile
Scenario two or do you shoot it and kill something that to some people is so rare and precious it would be blasphemy to kill one. You'd lose your gun license and never be able to hunt again either way
Fine, don't take my advice seriously. I just pray you don't go hunting because your attitude might get you killed, either by a bear or an actual bigman.
You will notice that we have tons of irrefutable evidence about the saola's existence beyond photographs. Skulls, bones, skins, and specimens have been captured multiple times before dying.

It was a cryptid until it wasn't. The colossal squid was a cryptid for hundreds and hundreds of years to the point where people had basically decided it wasn't real.

mutt, try thinking logically for 1 minute in pure silence to not overload your burger brain with overstimulation. no new mammal has been discovered on the american landmass for several decades. bigfoot is the most popular cryptid of all time that tons of crazed schizo hillbillies have been searching for with the aid of advanced technologies since the 70s and nothing even close has been discovered.
The colossal squid was talked about by sailors going all the way back to the 17th century and was discovered in 1925, and was never caught on video until 2006.
Cryptid just means "an animal that claims to exist but has never been proven to exist" and that giant squid was that for a long time. But it does seem that the world now solely refers to mysterious supernatural creatures like your big foots.

>Van Lierde claims that in 1959 he encountered a giant snake in the Katanga region of the Belgian Congo while returning from a mission by helicopter. He claims to have then turned around and made several passes over the snake to allow another person on board to photograph the creature.

I saw a (easily) 50 foot blackish snake in the woods on the road as a kid while driving with my dad, we stopped to watch it cross the road and as it was about half way to the other side, some fricker in a jeep drove over it and it was freaking out and wriggling and twisting then we drove past it. It was insane. It was huge. Longer than the road itself and fat.
See this is believable. The congo region are three of the poorest and most unstable countries in the world, with vast amounts of uninhabitable rainforest.
There could easily be undiscovered animals there.
Not fricking big foots and shit tho.
The congo giant spiders do not sound unlikely either. I could totally see a large species of spider being exaggerated to the point of being the size of a dog.
There's some Asian journalist guy who tells his story of getting trapped there and he said he can believe stories of supersized beasts because even frogs there are fricking huge
The problem with cryptids is that the make up the stories always make them into horror monsters. A cryptid would have the same self preservation instincts as any other wild animal, unless starving, it wouldn't chase people or stalk them or numerous other things they always do, and they wouldn't always be picking fights with other animals. Cryptids are always portrayed as far too intelligent, when in reality they would be just as dumb and instinct driven as any other animal.
the only cryptids I think is "real" is chupacabra, and I think that's just some as of yet undiscovered bat
Theres no cryptid bodies or poop or tracks or photographic evidence because..
Because there just isn't okay
they're all magically intelligent and bury their dead and poop and run away and hide from humans all the time but they're totally real I swear trust me
Maybe for a week. But the news cycle is so fast people would forget about it in a month or so. Knowing it's real doesn't mean it impacts anyone's life in any way. They'd probably close that lake though. That'd be about it
Picture of a dogman taken in the 50s by some security guard or something. Probably the only legit picture of the thing. So of course he had to take it while it was behind a light post. I'm not sure how fast you could take pictures with 50s technology but I don't imagine it was very fast
The Loch Ness Monster was Jack the Ripper and nobody can convince me otherwise. Once you start to get down to the facts and look at the maps it suddenly makes sense why neither were ever caught. They were looking for the same thing in the wrong places.
There is plenty of proof
easy there einstein, hand in your guns and badges and your other einstein and in english doc

>still no clear definitive proof of cryptids not existing
you can't prove non-existence
prove you can't prove it
If there was proof then it wouldn't be a cryptid, it would just be a normal animal.
Funny post but also true. Platypus, komodo dragon, pretty sure even gorillas were considered to be not real when people first talked about them
Yes. Locals knew about gorillas obviously but they weren't recognized by the scientific community until like, 1920 or something.
If any animal lives somewhere more desolate or is more elusive than a big fat stompy gorilla, Its not surprise we haven't found it.

There are plenty of high quality photos of wild animals.
It's 2022, most people have a high resolution camera in their pockets at all times. Any cryptid that exists anywhere within 1000s of miles of civilization would have many high resolution well lit photos by now.
The only possible place a weird undiscovered large lifeform could exist is deep in the ocean. Even the frozen northern expanses of Canada and Siberia are too heavily trafficked and explored to hide anything substantial.
Not the guy you were talking to but new creatures are discovered every day. Most wilderness is still unexplored and we only know a small fraction of what creatures live on the earth. Wilderness is wild, there isn't any heavy foot traffic. If you get lost in the wilderness you won't be ever be found due to how immense and uncharted it is. Just over a hundred years ago orangutans were considered cryptids. People didn't believe they were real. Hunters would bring out the carcass and people still wouldn't believe it was real.
>new creatures are discovered every day.
Those "new creatures" range from a type of bacteria that is shaped slightly different or a bug that is a different color. They haven't been discovering wildly different animals in decades. The platypus was really the last animal that was like whoa wtf is that thing and that was in the late 1700s.

Massive isn't really a factor. We can use energy equations and ecosystem models to predict ways energy filters to a variety or organisms in an environment. In these models, for the Pacific ocean, there's only room for about 5 unknown species the same size as a shark, or smaller depending on the population.
Any more than that, and the observations would no longer match up to the equations.

We can measure X amount of total energy in an ecosystem. And rule one of nature is nothing goes to waste.
There are 10bits of energy in the ecosystem, in total. We know about 3 species who live here. Species 1 eats 3 bits. Species 2 eats 3 more bits. Species 3 eats 2 bits. Now with that info we can extrapolate there's 2 more bits available, meaning there's either one more medium species or two more small species yet to be discovered
No. Math nerds are desperate for relevancy it's hilarious
Unfortunately for you fatass the laws of physics don't ignore calories
You aren't talking about the laws of physics though. You are talking about an intersection of quite a few sciences and then sprinkling in some statistical analysis. Which is ultimately meaningless! You already admitted above you can't explain it very well but a YouTube video can so maybe best to not poorly defend it
I will do whatever I please regardless of your womanly b***hing
Shut up, nerd.

the largest animals on earth, the blue whales eat tiny krill
The colossal squid was discovered in 1925 after being a mythical sailors' tale for 3 quarters of a millennia and wasn't caught on video until 2006.
I remember reading once that we've only had confirmed chimpanzee fossils (as in, the earliest ancestor of what could conceivably be a chimp) since 2005 and it was something very insignificant, like a molar. It's apparently quite uncommon to actually find evidence of the lineage of a known animal. Think of all the shit that's stored away that doesn't match with anything on record.
These places are not nearly as monitored as you seem to think they are. Especially the northern parts of canada
You need only one single person to get a good picture ever. There isn't a square inch of land on the planet earth that a human hasn't seen many times.
If you actually believe that last sentence you are an idiot
>There isn't a square inch of land on the planet earth that a human hasn't seen many times
I couldn't make a more incorrect statement if I tried. We're still discovering whole new ethnic groups of humans that have never had any contact with the outside world.
I live in Canada, British Columbia to be precise. Obviously, towns, roads, lakes, and rivers are clear. But if something wants to hide from you it can literally stand 5 feet in the forest and be completely invisible. The plants are just so fricking dense. Anyone could hide. A 500pound obese man wearing bright orange could hide in the woods next to my lawn and I wouldn't be able to see anything.
>picture of real animal
>taken by professionals or people intending to at least photograph things in decent enough quality to enjoy them later
>picture of cryptid
>Almost always hastily or unintentionally filmed on average phones at night or on security cams
Shocking
thousands of people have unexpectedly encountered bears in the wild and were able to take quality pictures and videos yet when it's the bigfoot it's always a blur.
Have you considered that a bear doesn't care/is unaware of the photographer whereas an intelligent ape may actively hide and avoid a human?
But what exactly makes it so only below 144p videos and pictures can be taken of cryptids when 15$ nonamephone from aliexpress can take videos and photos in fullHD and ultraHD?
this is why these days we dont have any accidental UFO pictures/videos. No one can make shaky 144p videos anymore

Yes, tens of thousands of morons making fake shit motivated by the same thing.
That is not a lot compared to the millions of videos of animals and daily life.
And even videos of rare but confirmed animals always have a completely different feel to them because they aren't fake bullshit trying to be illusive. It is not difficult to tell when videos are intentionally trying to manipulate and deceive you.

where did you find this picture of my dog?
cryptids aren't real, we killed them all
This, the last Bigfeet died in 2011. I shot it and refused to take photos.
cryptid just flew over my roof bros im fricking scared
That's because a cryptid is defined as an animal that there is no definitive proof of. When cryptids are discovered, like the Giant Squid, Mountain Gorillas, Wisconsin Dogmen, Coelacanth, etc, they cease to be cryptids they just become classified as regular animals.
>Wisconsin Dogmen
They were a fascinating subject to explore until YouTube killed them all
Thats a dinohyus

You better. He'll rape your bridge too, if you talk shit.
Why do I find Mothman so comfy? I know shit all about him, most of my knowledge comes from San Andreas. But whenever I see stuff about him, I always find it super interesting and almost familiar
He's an entity that associated with prophecy with most media he's in due to the bridge collapse and Indrid Cold.
cuz moffs are qt3.14
because Mothman is cute and a friend

I actually could believe that; however if it is real I just have a very hard time believing it's real refugia of a sauropod dinosaur. It's more likely that (if real) it's some sort of large reptile that just so happens to have a long neck or some anatomical feature that's suggestive of one.
Either ones in the amazon, deep in the congo, somewhere in summatra, or deep ocean.
Anywhere that's hard to get to really.
They only just found that tortoise near galapagos that was thought the be extinct 100 years ago.

Why are there never any photos/videos if cryptids that look alike?
Like there are tens of different animals in the world but you can go on the internet and find more than one photo of a particular type of bird or fish.
Because it's all bullshit. Same reason why alien abduction stories or ancient alien theories never line up. It's all made up schizo bullshit.
why does this picture turn me on so much? is it a human fantasy to be ravaged by BAC
what about the "flying shield" reports across the roman empire?
Yep, these ancient stories make ufo deniers seethe. Ufos are not a modern thing. People have been seeing silvery/metallic "shields", discs flying in the sky for thousands of years, all over the world
I’ve noticed a huge overlap between conservatives and schizos who believe that cryptids are real. I guess when you believe the election was stolen and that all of humanity came from two people it’s not too farfetched to think that the government is covering up Bigfoot and the Dogman.
There are actually studies (OMG STUDIES NOOO THEY'RE FAKE) correlating belief in one conspiracy theory to belief in other conspiracy theories. The thing is, once that initial resistance to belief is broken down ("I guess maybe the government DID do the twin towers...") it opens the floodgates to more. If you believe the israelites did 9/11, it's only a hop step and a jump until someone tells you that actually, israelites are running child porn rings under pizza restaurants and you believe them. From there, you can be "taught" anything.
>if you don't believe that we've already discovered every animal on the face of the earth you think israelites did 9/11
cool man
If you legitimately believe in "cryptids" you are definitely dumb enough to eventually be misled into believing bullshit like "jews did 9/11", yes. It goes the other way, too, in the sense that you might be misled into believing "right wingers are literal nazis shooting children in the street".
Don't hide behind "muh cryptids are just unidentified animals". We both know that's not what's being talked about.
If you are so obsessed with playing teams in politics that you unironically believe that there aren't any animals that haven't been discovered yet you should seriously speak to a doctor.
there's a difference between small animals, insects, deep sea shit and an "undiscovered" human sized monkey running around civilized parts of the us
There's a difference between every single animal categorized, which is why we categorize them as different animals after they've been studied. Try to stop seething about politics for just a second in your life and accept that you know next to nothing about the world. Pandas, orangutans, okapi, platypuses, colossal squid, the dodo bird, were all considered to be mythical cryptids. Unless you're omniscient, then you're wrong to say an animal you haven't seen doesn't exist. At best all you do is say "I haven't seen that, I don't know if that's real" and move on instead of seething about whether or not the people who told you about it have the same political stance as you.
what politics? also it's not the 1800s anymore.
I never said there are no undiscovered species but saying that there's a monkey man running around for centuries as mutts claim and nobody has managed to capture one is just dumb.
>what politics?
You started by seething about politics out of nowhere.
>saying that there's a monkey man running around for centuries as mutts claim and nobody has managed to capture one is just dumb
I don't care if it's dumb. Plenty stupid shit happens in real life that makes no sense. I'm not gonna go around acting like some know-it-all and discount the existence of something without ever having experienced it. I'm not gonna go around saying it's real neither.
shit not making sense is a you problem
Reread the last two sentences of my post.
>don't call me out on my deliberate ignorance
Doesn't change my response.
>dumb enough to eventually be misled into believing bullshit like "jews did 9/11"
If you think the US government didn't know about and consent to letting 9/11 happen you're hopelessly naive. Every single contact the terrorists had with the Saudi royal family and spook middlemen was known to the US intelligence community, insiders even knew what day to short stocks on.
Back to /x/ schizo.
Decades ago there were a lot of mental institutions in burgerland but were closed due to abusement towards the schizos. Now they run around freely and believe their television is sending them hidden messages, the moon landing is fake and universal health care is bad.
What do other countries do to manage their psychos? Why does this shit only happen in America?
we put them into psych ward but don't treat them like shit for the most part
>people should be instituionalized for saying things I don't like!
Do liberals actually believe this?
What about when liberals say thing you don't like?
I'll ridicule them, but not advocate for them to be detained for it.
bullshit
This may surprise you, but a lot of people (mostly those whose ideologies can survive without censorship) actually do believe in freedom of speech.
It is weird. These are usually the same freaks that believe in vaccine disinfo, race realism, hidden government agendas, etc. Hate how common schizo creep is, now.
Why do people want creepy and terrifying monsters to exist anyway? It would be a nightmare
People like mystery.
It's not like you'd run into one anyway even if they WERE real. You'd have a higher chance of running into a wild lion or some shit. People are too busy to give a damn. As long as it doesn't get in the way they'd just be considered a nuisance
because when they are found to be real they aren't called cryptids anymore
It’s funny how cryptids only exist in america and the witnesses claim all rights on their sighting for interviews.
>cryptids only exist in america
yeah no other country has local legends about mysterious creatures

theres literally nothing more brainlet than alien believers.
Humans are literally aliens. We live on a planet in space . We fly things to other planets.
Now, aliens exist but that doesn't mean they ever visited earth or abduct rednecks for anal probes. They probably exist 50,000,000 light-years away from here and we will never, ever , ever meet
alien means foreign
>aliens exist
based on what? the size of the universe?
Yeah. Size of the universe. Life emerged here so it's bound to emerge elsewhere, simply because the chance is greater than 0. If you think otherwise you don't understand the absolute fricking moronic tier scale we are talking. Like, stupidly absurdly huge.
The size doesn't tell you anything about the probability of life emerging.
Earth existing means the probability is greater than zero
It quite literally does.
It doesn't. The only life that we know of is on this planet.
>that we know of
Nobody said otherwise moron. Its the possibility/chance of life in the universe.
what are you basing this possibility on?
There's a mathematical calculation that applies here i don't recall its name but really its just common sense. I'm pretty sure we've even discovered earth like planets extremely far away. If an earth like planet exists is pretty much inevitable that life will grow there.
I'd rather we're alone and managed to get past the great filter than we're not alone but the filter will prevent future expansion
The great filter is a reddit meme hypothesis
>Durrr, where is everyone? I guess there must be something killing them
Really far away? Not communicating with fricking radio waves? Not intelligent? So intelligent they don't consider us worth acknowledging in the slightest? The possibilities are endless

What are some good Big Foot movies and don't say Willow Creek
Willow Creek
That's literally it.
The rest is hot garbage.
That's depressing because willow creek is hot garbage.
Willow Creek isn't about bigfoot, it's about hillbilly rapists. The entire first act of the movie was about how the town knew they were in the woods abducting hikers but had turned it into a marketing thing through bigfoot. That's what the interview with the lady at the bigfoot museum was, that's why the Indian lady suddenly starts repressing her memory and asking for her dad while being interviewed. It was not bigfoot, it was hillbillies who abduct people.
Eh I don't remember that part. I definitely remember the ending having a flash of a big foot, they are doing abducting and raping though.
>museum lady is asked about her opinion on bigfoot
>gives an obvious tell that she knows what's actually going on but directs the conversation back to something else
>movie even mentions no one started talking about bigfoot until the 60s, right when the green triangle of marijuana farming showed up
>idiot husband is collecting "bigfoot hair"
>it's clearly spanish moss, again more evidence the movie isn't actually about bigfoot
>creek is located in world class pot growing territory
>they even get stopped by a pot grower on their way down
It was pot farmer hillbillies on a meth high.
Bah so the movie is even worse than I remember. Great job Bobcat.
It's a shit movie. The only bigfoot kino is Les Stroud's series about it and even then only a few episodes where he talks to actual biologists were good.
Harry and the Hendersons
That one Bigfoot documentary with Riker as the narrator
Bob Gymlan on youtube.
Interesting story if you care but in one region in Africa suffering from a civil war, local militia were shooting and eating Chimps, said Chimps changed their habits so thoroughly they became nocturnal and completely avoided human contact to the point where the scientists studying them struggled to even keep track of their whereabouts let alone make contact with them.
As a family they would pack up their shit past sundown and migrate to a new area in the dark on a regular basis and they didn't exhibit the normal calling characteristics of chimps. Fascinating, at least to me.
See it looks like a wolf man opening its jaw, but that could be an illusion because it also looks like an elephant.

>play stupid games
>win stupid prizes
If shit like this is real and present in America then why has nobody shot one yet. You're trying to tell me sasquatches are out there and nobody has ever bagged one.
Have you ever tried shooting a bear?
Anon people have shot lots of bears because bears are real.
Shooting bears is not very common
And yet somehow we have a billion of these and none of bigfoot.
I doubt you could find more than a hundred of those anon
Are they okay?
They're just sleeping Anon.
The evidence suggests Bigfoots are like ghosts somehow or can shift into ghost mode, people see them flitting through dense forest like there is nothing in their way
Not that guy but just for your info you're more likely to survive a bear attack if you use mace or bangers than if you try to shoot it. If you try to shoot it, you'll just make it more mad and it'll frick you up worse before leaving you to die from the trauma of your injuries. Bears are built real sturdy and unless you're packing real heat your round won't even make it through it's skull. Seen pics of .357 magnum stuck in a bear's skull. Picrel is a .45 found lodged in a bear's forehead. Didn't even make it to the skull.
people have shot pretty much every animal we know of
Anon if you've ever shot a bear you'd know one bullet doesn't kill them. You can empty dozens into them and they wouldn't act like it. Animals, especially shit like ebars and gorillas, are tanks of terrifying strength.
If one of these animals were flighty even a good shot wouldn't kill it. And you wouldn't get a shot in.
And yet we kill them anyway, lots of them, but for some reason never bigfoot.
>lots of them
I don't care about bigfoot, but we definitely don't kill "lots" of bears. We kill lots of cows and chickens.
I'm not going to argue with you about your definition of "lots" but we sure kill enough of them that you'd think we'd get at least *one* bigfoot in the century or so we've had both firearms and cameras on this continent, yet that is not the case. Only bears.
obviously not... cows and chicken are livestock raised to be food.
Better yet just use a blow gun lol
Hunters don't just shoot shit because they can or something scares them. Scenario one, you've got this big human-like creature before you, do you shoot it to death and run the risk of it just being a person in a suit, which is the common claim here on Cinemaphile
Scenario two or do you shoot it and kill something that to some people is so rare and precious it would be blasphemy to kill one. You'd lose your gun license and never be able to hunt again either way
Scenario 3: you shoot it and it turns out it was a FEMALE bigfoot. It had a baby bigfoot with it and now you have to raise it!
Fine, don't take my advice seriously. I just pray you don't go hunting because your attitude might get you killed, either by a bear or an actual bigman.
>or an actual bigman.
For you
MAURY THE BABY ISN'T MINE
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saola
There are animals that we know exist that we can't photograph, why do skeptics think we'd have photos of cryptids by now?
except people don't claim to see a Saola running around their backyards every fricking night
You will notice that we have tons of irrefutable evidence about the saola's existence beyond photographs. Skulls, bones, skins, and specimens have been captured multiple times before dying.
That's why the saola isn't a cryptid, because it's real and leaves evidence of its existence just like every other real animal.
Bigfoot bones, casts and hair have all been recovered anon!
It was a cryptid until it wasn't. The colossal squid was a cryptid for hundreds and hundreds of years to the point where people had basically decided it wasn't real.
Except the big foot doesn't live in the depths of oceans or the central african jungles. It's supposedly lives in the american forests near civilization.
Why are you so obsessed with bigfoot? I don't care about bigfoot. Are you angry at your dad or something because he's a bigfoot guy?
Lmao frickin moron, are you European?
are you a mutt?
Hey moron, there's more wilderness and untouched territory in America, it's not some tiny park filled with squirrels. I know Euros frickrd up and destroyed all of their wildlife and wilderness but we didn't. Try and keep up.
>corn fields
>wilderness
yeah I guess
mutt, try thinking logically for 1 minute in pure silence to not overload your burger brain with overstimulation. no new mammal has been discovered on the american landmass for several decades. bigfoot is the most popular cryptid of all time that tons of crazed schizo hillbillies have been searching for with the aid of advanced technologies since the 70s and nothing even close has been discovered.
You are moronic.
The colossal squid was a cryptid for a few decades. "Folklore based on actual fact" isn't a cryptid.
The colossal squid was talked about by sailors going all the way back to the 17th century and was discovered in 1925, and was never caught on video until 2006.
That's not what a cryptid is.
Cryptid just means "an animal that claims to exist but has never been proven to exist" and that giant squid was that for a long time. But it does seem that the world now solely refers to mysterious supernatural creatures like your big foots.
That's a stupid definition when applied to history, but it's not worth arguing about.
There's something mysteriously creepy about photographs or recordings of supposedly extinct or nearly endangered animals
If bigfoot is real, what does he eat to sustain himself? Why haven’t we found carcasses of bears and shit
Seriously, what the frick is that thing? A man, a bear, a pig?

Normal people don't see things that don't exist and the whole point of "weird" creatures that may or may not exist in normal cultures was to scare kids back in the day.

The level of skepticism and distrust it takes to genuinely believe in this shit is moronic
When you see this picture do you think "This is a large underwater animal" or "This is a log"? (Higher quality pic)
My question is
If there are some cryptids are they friendly? Can I be friends with them?
do you encounter a lot of friendly tame wild animals?
Some animals are more friendly/not bothered by humans. Why can't there be some cryptids who are the same?
Yes actually

>Van Lierde claims that in 1959 he encountered a giant snake in the Katanga region of the Belgian Congo while returning from a mission by helicopter. He claims to have then turned around and made several passes over the snake to allow another person on board to photograph the creature.
>Van Lierde describes the snake as being close to 50[5] feet in length. He claims it was a dark shade of brown and green with a white coloured belly. He claimed the snake's head was 3 feet long and 2 feet wide, and that the jaws were of a triangular shape
The witness for this one is credible. I wonder if it was a mutant snake one off or part of a small subspecies.
That's a big snake
I saw a (easily) 50 foot blackish snake in the woods on the road as a kid while driving with my dad, we stopped to watch it cross the road and as it was about half way to the other side, some fricker in a jeep drove over it and it was freaking out and wriggling and twisting then we drove past it. It was insane. It was huge. Longer than the road itself and fat.
Wonder what he ate
See this is believable. The congo region are three of the poorest and most unstable countries in the world, with vast amounts of uninhabitable rainforest.
There could easily be undiscovered animals there.
Not fricking big foots and shit tho.
The congo giant spiders do not sound unlikely either. I could totally see a large species of spider being exaggerated to the point of being the size of a dog.
There's some Asian journalist guy who tells his story of getting trapped there and he said he can believe stories of supersized beasts because even frogs there are fricking huge

The problem with cryptids is that the make up the stories always make them into horror monsters. A cryptid would have the same self preservation instincts as any other wild animal, unless starving, it wouldn't chase people or stalk them or numerous other things they always do, and they wouldn't always be picking fights with other animals. Cryptids are always portrayed as far too intelligent, when in reality they would be just as dumb and instinct driven as any other animal.
the only cryptids I think is "real" is chupacabra, and I think that's just some as of yet undiscovered bat
Theres no cryptid bodies or poop or tracks or photographic evidence because..
Because there just isn't okay
they're all magically intelligent and bury their dead and poop and run away and hide from humans all the time but they're totally real I swear trust me
Even if there was proof nobody would believe it or care in any way.
What? If there was legit proof for nessie or bigfoot or whatever it would be massive maybe even worldwide news.
Maybe for a week. But the news cycle is so fast people would forget about it in a month or so. Knowing it's real doesn't mean it impacts anyone's life in any way. They'd probably close that lake though. That'd be about it
REAL DOGMAN HOURS

Picture of a dogman taken in the 50s by some security guard or something. Probably the only legit picture of the thing. So of course he had to take it while it was behind a light post. I'm not sure how fast you could take pictures with 50s technology but I don't imagine it was very fast

The Loch Ness Monster was Jack the Ripper and nobody can convince me otherwise. Once you start to get down to the facts and look at the maps it suddenly makes sense why neither were ever caught. They were looking for the same thing in the wrong places.
