Bigfoot/Sasquatch/LochNess

[heykay]

Does anyone here believe they're real?

I personally don't.

I never thought anyone took it seriously until I saw some people who have their life devoted to finding these things.

Thoughts?

That being said, no. There are enough fanatics who have been searching for a long enough time that if they were real they would have been found by now.

[Iceman]

No.
Except bigfoot.
I saw him. And he was carrying a sniper rifle. Who knew.

No more messin with sasquatch

Sasquatch is not real, my family went camping once and photographed my mother picking berries.

But in all honesty, I do believe there is a Sasquatch like creature out there, or at least.. There was. Because hundreds of years before, even the natives told stories and wrote scripture on the animal, and that was long before any fakes were made. So I believe there once was a Sasquatch, but now their either completely extinct, or theres so few of them left it's nearly impossible discovering any of them.

Hundreds of years ago people also wrote about fire-breathing dragons and sand worms the size of football fields.

Sasquatch... I'm undecided on this. I think it's very unlikely, but new species are being discovered all the time. Just because people have faked encounters for money doesn't mean the creature doesn't/didn't ever exist.

As for Loch Ness, I don't really believe there is/was a ... what would you even call that? I'll just stick with creature. I don't really believe there was a giant creature in that lake. Having said that, giant squids were once thought mythical, yet they turned out to be real. The ocean (I know Loch Ness isn't an ocean, for those assuming I'm still talking about that) is a very big place, and there's a LOT we haven't discovered. There's some freaky-ass animals down there.

[Fushigi]

hmmm ... im not kinda sure... coz i havent seen one... or never will.....

[Sage]

That doesn't help your side of the argument in any way.

[Jess]

Neither of these are real, I can't believe people actually devote their life to find them.

But there are still of course creatures we haven't discovered yet.......

>people here don't believe in mythical creatures because they have no concrete evidence of them
>people here believe in ghosts even though they have no concrete evidence of them

What the fuck, VT?

[Quahog]

The lochness monster I heard was real.

No. I don't think bigfoot is real.

I remember this movie where this family ran over bigfoot, it was just a guy in a suit, but it proves you know bigfoot is fake, when they make disney movies about him.

LochNess is not real at all. The photographer himself said that is not real, yet the rumors spread like a wildfire.
>people here don't believe in mythical creatures because they have no concrete evidence of them
>people here believe in ghosts even though they have no concrete evidence of themWhat the fuck, VT?Ghosts are ethereal, like fart. You can't see it, but you are hundred-percent sure you can feel it.

[Continuum]

Ghosts are ethereal, like fart. You can't see it, but you are hundred-percent sure you can feel it.

Clearly not a hundred. I mean, it's perception. Sensory organs may be the problem: i.e. Hallucinations and mirages. But hey, there goes Carl Sagan's 4th dimension and your other senses.

Bigfoot isn't exactly what you tell as real, since all cryptid (the Lochness Monster included) are refuted widely as false, as of the moment.

[Azunite]

We also had tales about "Tarzan of Van" ( a city ) but nevertheless, nothing is scarier than my neighbor.

[Syvelocin]

Bigfoot/Sasquatch: I think people make a big deal out of it. Though I think it's fair, a large ape-like creature. Something else on which my position is neutral.

Nessie: Come on. A plesiosaur? They've been extinct for 65.5 million years. A 20-meter dinosaur living in a loch, and it's never been proven? Also, I'm sure Loch Ness doesn't have enough marine life to support a carnivorous 20-meter dinosaur.

[Bluesman]

I don't believe in them personally but I still believe there is a very remote possibility. They could be, but there is a ton of evidence to support otherwise.

[embers]

In Bigfoot's case, there isn't a ton of evidence to support otherwise. There's just a massive lack of (credible) evidence to support it.

Nessie, of course, is a whole other matter. Easily disproved.

Yeah... what a lot of people don't understand is that if the human mind wants to believe in something like Nessie, they'll see a log floating in the water and think that it is a Plesiosaur. They claim they saw Nessie, and they did. It's just that what they were seeing wasn't what was really there.

Who is to say these aren't real either. hah NAH. Sasquatch/Bigfoot/Lochness, Dragons, Sand worms. They weren't real.

and OF COURSE hundreds and thousands of years ago cave dwellers wrote about this stuff. That's how stories get started. They have to start somewhere. You don't think they didn't have the capability to create make believe creatures? Do cave dwellers HAVE to be so dumb they can't have imaginations?

What's wrong with you people? Loch Ness monster does not exist.

"The image was revealed as a hoax in 1994. Supposedly taken by Robert Kenneth Wilson, a London gynaecologist, it was published in the Daily Mail on 21 April 1934." ~ Wiki

He used a freaking toy submarine!

Oh, and about giant creatures (https://souwaimaths.wikispaces.com/file/view/Giant_Squid,_Melbourne_Museum.jpg/36661081/Giant_Squid,_Melbourne_Museum.jpg)(I hope it's fake)...

There's more supposed evidence of Nessie than a picture taken 70 years ago...

With that said, I'd like it if the Loch Ness Monster was real, but I don't think it is.

However, I do not believe that a species of ape-like creatures that lives in cold climates is all that far-fetched. I may not currently believe in one, but if evidence is found I won't be all that surprised.

The one in my link is about a quasi-humanoid creature. Many locals in Sumatra archipelago believed in its existence, that's because of many of them were live witnesses of the creature. They even found a foot-print that didn't belong to anything else but the supposed creature.

[Afraid Of Me]

i believe that all of these things may be real

[Sogeking]

i believe that all of these things may be real
Why?

[Sugaree]

i believe that all of these things may be real

How? Why? What concrete evidence do you have to prove that they might be real?

Unless actual evidence is shown, I refuse to believe in anything relating to the Loch Ness Monster, Bigfoot, or Sasquatch. Unless I see the thing in front of me, I won't believe it.

Just guessing you don't believe in extraterrestrial life then?

[embers]

Just guessing you don't believe in extraterrestrial life then?

The probability of extraterrestrial life existing, given the circumstances, is too high to be ignored.

It's ignored.

[Sugaree]

Just guessing you don't believe in extraterrestrial life then?

The existence of extraterrestrial life is not something I ignore. Please tell me the probability of some prehistoric creature roaming a loch in Scotland is more than that of the possibility of life on another planet. Though you are right in saying that extraterrestrial life is ignored, the possibilities are larger than finding some random ape man walking around the Alps.

I agree with you, I just read your previous post wrong. I thought you were saying you refuse to believe in something until it has solid, proof. That is why I asked about extraterrestrial life, because it has yet to be proven.

Exology would be an interesting field of study.
