That is, up until recently.
The last 4 or 5 years have been a whirlwind of learning. I've dove into so many topics, and have learned so much about what all has actually been going on in the science community, and all the weird immoral unethical experiments that went on, and so my eyes have been opened to so many possibilities I never would have considered, that I am now convinced that even Bigfoot is a strong possibility of being real.
I came up with a theory of my own. I'm sure it's been done before, but I decided I'm bored, and feel like writing, so here goes.
The old 80's movie "Harry and the Hendersons" was on the other day, and I sat and watched it for that ol nostalgic feeling I get from these old movies. Halfway through the film I wondered if I was actually seeing some sort of truth in this movie.
Plum Island came to mind...
I wondered if, in trying to create some sort of "super soldier" 'animal-human hybrid,' and the genetically crossed a bear, gorilla and a man (maybe just a bear and a man) and instead of getting this fierce fighting carnivore, they end up with this docile loving gentle vegetarian Bigfoot instead?
Then they get loose...
Now we have them living up in those extremely remote mountains.
What if Bigfoot was an experiment gone wrong? Instead of getting the fierce fighting machine they end up with "Harry and the Hendersons Bigfoot" instead?
I'm bored, have fun with it. I'm assuming this is already a theory. If so, it's mine now as well. After everything my eyes have been opened to recently, I would not doubt it if this were all the case when it comes to Bigfoot.
Thoughts?
If there are any Bigfoot enthusiasts out there, I believe you now.
G'day Light,
The Aussie equivalent is named the 'Yowie'. Aboriginal terms for them are Thoolagal, Myngawin, Tjangara, Jimbra, Wawee, Pangkarlangu, Ghindari and many others depending on what part of the continent those locals lived well before 'whitefella bin comealong.'
The Europeans began recording sightings in the early 1800's during settlement and there were many accounts written up in Newspapers. One of the most known later sighting was by Bill O'Chee, in the 70's along with a school excursion in which the students and teachers spied the Beasty for over two days. Bill O'Chee later became Australia's youngest Senator at the time and throughout his tenure in Parliament maintained the sighting along with witnesses. It's an interesting read and video interview of Senator Bill in later life.
The last Aboriginal story I came across was in the early 2000's when I was working in the Tanami Desert. The 'Warlpiri' Aboriginal Senior Constable working with me one night advised me while driving into a certain area and waiting in a concealed area for 'grog' runners. (Modern day moonlighters if you may). Described 'Gorilla' man or that 'Big Hairy' man, attacking a local and trying to choke him. The constable was spooked and so we drove off to another location more in the open. The term 'gorilla man' came much later in Aboriginal speak I imagine to describe to the 'Cardia' (Whitefella) what the beasty resembled.
Many sightings over the years up until now but alas no photographs. A few hoaxers.
Kind regards,

Edit to add. 'Daniel Boone's' account with his son is more fascinating to me. A great story in the early Americas and a believable man of prominence who relates shooting a Sasquatch.))))
