The Secret Big Foot Club There is a secret, centuries old organization of people who make very convincing Big Foot costumes that they wear while lurking in dark places to scare people and perpetuate the myth of the Big Foot. 12/18/2024 TheProfessor
They are aliens! I believe that they are aliens. After all, why do they hide? Only aliens do that. 12/12/2024 Biggus
It's all baloney. Come on guys, wake up and smell the roses. There is no such thing as Sasquatch. Get a life! I am sure this message will be deleted soon by the admins... 12/01/2024 LaneGeek
Sasquatch: Multiple Relict Hominins. My theory posits that Sasquatch isn't a single species, but rather a cryptid umbrella term encompassing several relict hominin populations, geographically isolated and exhibiting varying degrees of archaic human morphology. These populations, descendants of early hominid migrations out of Africa, survived in remote, mountainous regions by adapting to niche environments and employing sophisticated avoidance strategies. Their physical appearances would thus vary depending on their location and evolutionary pressures, leading to inconsistent eyewitness accounts and the persistent elusiveness of definitive proof. This explains the reported range of sizes, appearances, and behaviors attributed to Sasquatch, while the lack of consistent fossil evidence is due to their successful evasion and the degradation of potential remains in challenging environments. 05/14/2024 weakbear241
Sasquatch: Multiple Cryptids, Not One. My theory posits that Sasquatch sightings are not a single species, but rather a collection of observations of various large, elusive mammals inhabiting remote wilderness areas. These include rare or unusually large specimens of known species like bears, and possibly even undiscovered species of primates, adapted to a reclusive, nocturnal lifestyle. The consistent, yet inconsistent, physical descriptions across decades of reported sightings support this – the variability reflects not a single, homogeneous species, but a range of large animals behaving in ways that amplify their size and mystery, leading to consistent misidentification and exaggerated accounts over time. 05/06/2024 shyshark732
Sasquatch: Multiple Cryptids, Not One. My theory posits that Sasquatch sightings are not attributable to a single, uniform species, but rather represent a range of cryptids, potentially including relict hominids, misidentified bears exhibiting unusual behaviors, and even instances of elaborate hoaxing. The varied descriptions, geographic spread, and lack of consistent physical evidence suggest a multifaceted phenomenon rather than one singular, elusive creature. Different populations, influenced by diverse environmental factors and human interaction, might account for the inconsistencies in reported size, behavior, and even supposed physical characteristics, leading to a legend encompassing multiple, separate phenomena, all mistakenly categorized under the single umbrella term "Sasquatch." 12/07/2023 wildeagle931
Sasquatch: Multiple Cryptic Hominins. My theory posits that Sasquatch sightings are not a single species, but rather a phenomenon stemming from a combination of factors: misidentification of known large animals like bears, deliberate hoaxes perpetrated for fame or profit, and, most intriguingly, a residual population of archaic hominins—not a single, cohesive species, but various groups of highly elusive and geographically isolated individuals representing different stages of human evolution or even possibly a previously unknown hominin lineage that has managed to survive through exceptional adaptation and avoidance of human contact. These disparate groups may exhibit varying physical characteristics, leading to inconsistencies in eyewitness accounts and making definitive identification exceedingly difficult. 10/17/2023 darkflower587
Sasquatch: Diverse Remnant Hominins. My theory posits that Sasquatch sightings are not a single species but rather a collection of rare, elusive, and geographically isolated populations of a previously unknown hominin species, likely exhibiting significant morphological variation due to founder effects and adaptation to diverse environments. These populations, perhaps descended from a more widespread archaic hominin lineage that survived longer than previously thought, maintain low population densities and exhibit behavioral adaptations to avoid human contact, leading to inconsistent and anecdotal evidence. Differences in reported physical characteristics reflect this population diversity and environmental pressures, rather than separate, distinct cryptids. 09/09/2023 shyeagle547
Sasquatch: Multiple Cryptid Species. My theory posits that Sasquatch sightings are not a single species, but rather a phenomenon encompassing several rare, elusive, and possibly cryptid subspecies of already-known primates – perhaps geographically isolated populations of orangutans or even a previously undiscovered hominid lineage – that have evolved unique adaptations to survive in isolated North American environments. These populations, due to their low numbers and highly secretive behavior, remain undetected by mainstream science, leading to inconsistent physical descriptions and anecdotal evidence that fuels the Sasquatch legend. The variations in reported appearances stem from this diverse, unrecognized group of species rather than a single, monolithic creature. 05/23/2023 dullgrass380
Sasquatch: A Mosaic of Hominids. My theory posits that Sasquatch sightings are not a single species, but rather a phenomenon encompassing multiple, rare, and geographically isolated populations of highly elusive hominids – perhaps even several distinct species with varying levels of bipedalism and social structures. These populations, exhibiting convergent evolution due to similar environmental pressures, have developed camouflage and avoidance behaviors honed over millennia. The discrepancies in reported physical characteristics, habitat, and behaviors are a result of these separate populations, each adapting to its specific niche, rather than a single, uniform creature. Cryptid sightings, therefore, represent not one "Bigfoot," but a mosaic of rarely-seen, highly evolved, and possibly even endangered hominin relatives. 12/15/2022 shyeagle547
