Bass River Bigfoot

[wolfspider05]

I came across this article while searching for information about a few things that I am looking for in the area of BRSF. There are two parts, the link to the second page is on the bottom of the first. I found it kind of interesting and thought some of you might to.

My sister told me a couple summers back that the film crew that was responsible for the famous bigfoot video in the pacific NW. You know the video I'm talking about. Anyway, I think she told me the film crew admited recently that it was a hoax/staged. I recall that the main guy running the expedition swore that it was for real on his death bed (I could be wrong about that). It must have been a huge blow to the bigfoot is real people.

What is it with people's obsession with Big Foot? Clearly the Wendigo (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wendigo) is a far superior mythical being.

[grendel]

I know this puts me in the whacko category with most folks but who cares.
I can no longer make fun of the Bigfoot believers because I saw a "bigfoot" in Virginia.Saw it plain as day,my hiking partner saw it to so I am not nuts (at least in that sense) was not drinking or in any other way impaired. It was at least 7 foot tall,jet black and walked with a very strange gait.when it saw us it moved off through heavy brush and rough terrain without making a sound,quiet as a cat. so I wish I could laugh with the rest of you but I can't.
I guess you could say that the woods are a different place for me now, I still camp, but I am a little more attentive to the night sounds if you know what I mean.
Also, I posted here awhile back under the thread"is the Jersey Devil real or not" about screams I heard when I was a kid .Well there are some recordings on www.bfro.net and guess what,they are real close. I am aware of the logical arguments against all of this,I used to think people were idiots for believing in this.how could it stay hidden during hunting season?Where are the bones?Why doesn't everyone see the tracks,especially when it snows?Why has one not been hit by a car?It goes on and on.It just is not possible.Then I saw one.Have fun with this all, I can take it.But I can't make fun of "bigfoot" with you no more.

[bobpbx]

Don't know about bigfoot, but the figure 8 track in the link is definitely Big Bird. We are all in trouble now.

Black bears have a funny gait, especially when tip-toeing stealthily through the wilderness on their hind feet.:rofl: All kidding aside, I have a story (check my postings history) to tell about a "big something" that visited my campsite one night at Lower forge. Tom M will vouch as an eyewitness. He was there too. We were the only ones camping, at least we thought we were. :ninja:

Heh, Grendel actually is a monster :) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grendel

In Beowulf, Grendel invades Heorot, the mead-hall of the Danes, and eats men too drunk to defend themselves.

He is also the subject of a new opera which is getting a lot of publicity: http://www.laopera.com/production/index.asp?productionid=197

The world premiere has been delayed due to technical problems, reportedly costing LA Opera $300,000 in unanticipated costs. The production is by Julie Taymor who directed The Lion King on Broadway.

Actually, like the author of the investigation, I too was compelled to investigate a bigfoot sighting in Jenkin's Neck. Here is an excerpt from my report:

I smoothly folded myself behind the wheel of my polished sophisticated toyota camry, my bigfoot alarm jauntily hung around my neck on the polyester string and set to "high alert". It was only a couple minutes later that I joined the throng of cars southbound on the GSP. Little did the puny, narrow minded citizens hurtling towards atlantic city realize that a true bigfoot hunter was motoring just one lane away from them, deep in thought on the most logical way to investigate this latest sighting. Suddenly a buxom blonde in a porsche with the top down looked my way and winked at me. She mouthed the words.."I want you". But I was not to be belayed by any hussy, I had more work to do in the deep woods of Jenkins Neck, there would be no time for Hanky Panky. No sir (to be continued).

Okay, I can buy the whole bigfoot thing but this kind of thinking is just too far fetched.

You can bet he was not thinking that! Right now he is begging the local cops after getting her tag number to just give him the first letter of the town and street she lives on, and if possible the house number :mrgreen: Yes sir!

[bobpbx]

...(my Jenkins Neck Bigfoot sighting investigation continues)....I took the Tuckerton exit going 84 miles per hour with the "Monster Mash" playing full blast on the radio. Whoops! I see pine trees coming up fast! Hold on, we might go wide! I braked hard, very hard, and slid sideways into the woods on the south side of route 539. Two local piney's in a Ford 350 pulled me out of the woods, brushed me off, straightened my favorite ball cap, and I was on my way again. I decided to take Poor Mans Parkway, and a good thing too, as my left front wheel was wobbling a bit and steam was coming out of the hood in spurts. A State Cop sitting stiffly in his vehicle on the side of the road eyed me suspiciously as I shifted into 4th from 2nd, effectively stalling the toyota into a series of jerks and hiccups. I slammed it into third and took off like a bigfoot outta hell, pine trees blurring to the right and left of me as I wound her up to a whopping 96 miles per hour on the Poor Man....(to be continued).

[tom m]

i'm right there with you on that one furball1, i can still remember that as if it happened yesterday although i'm not at all leary about going into the pines it did give me a deeper respect for the pine barrens in the sense that there is no way they can possibly know about every living creature on GODS good earth !I believe in the jersey devil ,bigfoot, yeti and any other strange creature that we can't identify ,there's just to much wilderness on earth to know everything that lives on it , and thats all these creatures are ,just unidentified .

[BEHR655]

...and thats all these creatures are ,just unidentified .

That's not all. They are also un-caught, un-killed, un-photographed, un-found dead, un-found habitat, un-everything. To me that makes them unbelievable.

Steve

PS. If these creatures were repoted to live in the sea I may not be so skeptical. But to live in the itty bitty Pine Barrens and not be found......I don't think so.

I used to make the same argument, then I saw one. I don't really want to convince anyone I just saw it. One minute we are cooking tuna melts over the fire, I look down the trail and there goes my whole sense of what is real and what is not. it scared the hell out of me. I have five kids who I tell all the time "there is no such thing as monsters", then I see one. I don't believe in the loch ness monsters,UFOs,the Kennedy conspiracy, or ghosts. I know what I saw up there.Ask the old timers in the pines about the screams,and the red eyes. There is no Jersey Devil: horse head , bat wings, kangaroo legs. that is nonsense. Bigfoot- I saw it.

Reminds me of the conversation between the atheist and the Quaker: Atheist: How can you say there is a God? Have you seen Him? Have you touched Him? Quaker: You say you have a brain--have you seen it? have you touched it? And YOU say you have a brain?

This is not a convincing analogy. The denial of the existence of one's own brain is not at all tenable; the denial of the existence of bigfoot is not only tenable, but intellectually responsible.....or so it seems to me.

[Furball1]

Perhaps you missed the analogy--to the Quaker, to deny God's existence is as every bit tenable to him as it would be for an atheist to deny the existence of his own brain, just an illustration, with sarcasm in the mix, to show that everyone has a right to believe, or not to believe. My friend Tom M believes because he has had a very objective experience, shared and experienced by me ( I was there), which has no explanation other than the presence of a large "something". Tom chooses to label it, I on the other hand am not, as there was just a fleeting shadow, no footprints or other evidence. But I respect his right to believe. Whatever "it" was, the expereince scared the crap out of us!!!

[Boyd]

Well here's the problem. Grendel said "I don't believe in the loch ness monsters,UFOs,the Kennedy conspiracy, or ghosts." So he doesn't believe reports from others (such as police officers, pilots, etc) who claim to have seen all of these things.

Well, I haven't seen nessie, UFO's, ghosts or bigfoot myself. Therefore I don't believe in any of them. Why would I find his report of a Bigfoot sighting anymore credible than the report of a person who claimed to see a UFO?

I think it is up to the individual to intellectually pursue the truth and come to his or her own conclusion about what to believe. BELIEF is not always based on intellectual honesty or credible evidence---albeit, you can be sincere about your belief, and sincerely WRONG at the same time. Now, we know there are people who believe in lots of paranormal things. We have fun classifying them as Kooks. But they believe all the same, perhaps it is EMOTIONS that determines their ability to reason--- we need to be respectful all the same. Or an expereince. Or just no reason at all---they just choose to believe. But when we deny someone's right to believe something, we are in essence telling them their beliefs do not matter, and we have the path to truth and understanding. Ostensibly, I think we have to draw the line when their beliefs hurt others or themselves---that's just the law, which thankfully intervenes in such cases. Hopefully without killing nearly everyone like the Branch Davidian case in the 90's. Anyway, I hope I'm making sense, at least I BELIEVE I am, I'm sure somebody will tell me I'm wrong...LOL!

[BEHR655]

.....But when we deny someone's right to believe something, we are in essence telling them their beliefs do not matter, and we have the path to truth and understanding..........

I don't think anyone here is denying anyone's right to believe in bigfoot. We are just exercising our right to let them know we think they're coo coo. :mrgreen:

[tom m]

this is getting good over one itty bitty big foot lol.I love this site

[Gerania]

Big foot in the pines could be nothing more than Boo Radley with back hair, but if something scares you it doesn't really matter who or what it was. If you didn't see "it" clearly, there are more questions than answers.

I'm asking for trouble here but I've seen a ghost. No, not for a second in bad lighting, for something like 10 minutes in, OK, bad lighting. I have prophetic dreams. My favorite part is when I buy a lottery ticket on a hunch and win. I almost never gamble. I never hit it big that way, though. Usually something like 40 bucks. Better than nothing.

[tom m]

so does this mean that since i believe the moon is made of cheese i'm a lunatic:eng101:

[grendel]

what I mean is that if I had not seen it I still would not believe it.The logic against their existence is overwhelming. I would believe that those who say they saw something were mistaken.As I am sure many think I am either mistaken or simply full of .....

[woodjin]

You know, bigfoot, when considered without the mystery of his existence, is not all that interesting. If we knew for a fact that bigfoot existed I don't think I would go out of my way to spot one. I'd rather see a bear or mountain lion. There are real animals out there that are far more spectacular. I often think of the original North American pioneers from Europe and how amazing it would have been for them to have seen things like bald eagles and Buffalo for the first time. I imagine it would be like us seeing bigfoot, something totally new. The differences between imaginery animals and real animals is slight, it is the mystery that holds the attraction.

Good to know there is somebody out there almost willing to empty their gun into the brush because of a weird noise. Also, where are all these large rocks comming from?

Jeff

[Badfish740]

Great, now I have to be worried about getting shot by some clown looking for bigfoot while I'm walking through the woods...

[bobpbx]

So, the bigfoot was fifteen feet from him, and throwing things at him, yet he could not see it. Is he blind?

Jeff

[grendel]

the jersey devil is a Sasquatch,all the winged long necked creature stuff is from city people seeing herons and cranes.I was canoing on the rappahannock river this weekend and heard a couple of great blue herons get into some kind of fight,I had no idea those things could make a racket like that.

You know, this photo has been bothering me for a while but I didn't know why. Now I figured it out. If you have the original book by McCoy and Miller, "The Jersey Devil" go to page 89. Then look at this picuture Bob posted again.

I think that is what was in the way back of my mind when I saw it. Or maybe it was some other rendering I'm not sure. Does anyone else see the similarity?

Jeff

[bobpbx]

I don't have the book Jeff. Can you take a photo and post it?

[grendel]

I do not have the book but I remember the picture, first thing I thought of. The other picture ot The "maine monster" looks like a cross between a chow and a coyote. I think the angle has a lot to do with the strangeness of the photo that is posted above.

[woodjin]

I don't have the book Jeff. Can you take a photo and post it?

I'll try. You should get that book, Bob. It is well written, researched and is the best representation of South Jersey folklore around.

OK, so we have a picture of not one, but two bigfoot creatures tracks crossing the road. This most certainly puts visible proof that they are there. The real question that remains due to this visible evidence is why did they cross the road to begin with???

[Banjo]

I think JD would win the fight if it were outdoors, with no ring. He could attack from the air. In a cage match, Bigfoot would crush him.

[pinelandpaddler]

The real question that remains due to this visible evidence is why did they cross the road to begin with???

To get to the other side?

[Banjo]

Or perhaps they were chasing the chicken. Maybe a male bigfoot was chasing a female bigfoot?

[tom m]

Can they possibly have information on every living thing in the woods. how about the great fire of the 70's when batsto ( wharton state forest ) burnt , the courier had a picture of fire fighter carrying out the remains of an animal no one ever saw before.....HMMMMMMM

[grendel]

I reject the possibility of the existence of bigfoot. It is entirely impossible. Then I saw one. I have no doubt that I saw one. I have heard and seen other evidence . I can not explain it .I just saw one.

Where did you here of this particular occurance? There was an inncident in '57 when some officials with the Dept of conservation discovered the "charred remains" of some identified animal. I don't believe it was ever analyzed, so some thought it was the death of the Jersey Devil and others thought it was a discarded trophy of some strange sort. Who knows where those bones are now. Is this the inncident you are referring to?

Jeff

[tom m]

Actually it was taken to Lakehurst naval station then shipped to a warehouse out in Arizona and placed next to Indiana Jones' crates lol

[tom m]

It could be, my bad, back in the 70's i was prolly out of it and imagined it all lol

[KCB]

Are there any pics of these charred remains?

[tom m]

There could be if you researched back far enough, what i saw may have been just a highlight of that story from 57, years go by and you swear one thing happened when in fact it was another.

[Furball1]

Whatever...

[bigfootmorf]

The pine barrens is made up of over 1 million acres,mostly uninhabited,its perfect cover for Bigfoot to live. Bass River Area,is a HOT SPOT for sightings,and the person began this thread listed a link to a story where a state trooper was a witness. I believe it may be here.I have never seen bigfoot,but I have HEARD something scary i couldnt explain.Anyone else here have any bigfoot related info?
