    Someone is always going to say they have, I just find that so hard to believe, not that Bigfoots existence would be that incredible of a phenomenon, but because we would have found it by now. Every once in a while I even hear about this thing called a "skunk ape" (I think) here in Florida. Sorry, Florida is just too populated for me to swallow that one.
    However, I do find it somewhat interesting that a "bigfoot" like creature has been sighted elsewhere, such as in Asia/Russia...

    From Wiki: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bigfoot "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." The sighting happened near the town of Ridgway, Pennsylvania in the Allegheny National Forest, which is about 115 miles north of Pittsburgh."

    First I've ever heard of a sighting outside the Pacific Northwest or Asia, not that I have a lot of confidence in those reports either.

    I've seen those pics - not too impressive.

    Yeah, Florida panhandle and northeast Texas are hotspots for lesser evolved humanoids.

    Good stories but naaa, just big raggady bears or people in animal skins.

    Would be kinda neat if one would be found.

    I'm thinking the chances for an AT Sasquatch sighting will be better than average at Springer on Dec 31.

    The east coast version is 4-6 feet and 2-250 pounds.... eats lots of Snickers bars, mac & cheese and anything else it can....also known to visit as many AYCE joints....doesn't stay 2-250 pounds for very long. It seems that these creatures tend to gather for some unknown ritual in a small southern Virginia town once a year. Some were observed making strange joyous noises when they came across cold beer left in a spring.........
