Given your recent absence from the board some of us were thinking you had disappeared in the Bermuda Triangle!

Yes it is a very interesting Subject i do believe there are still things out there that we have not found or or not enough proff to say they are realPete Dube wrote:Ok folks, this is WAY off topic, but is anyone here interested in cryptozoology? For those who don't know what cryptozoology is, it's the study of (or, to be more precise, the attempt to gather evidence for) animals that may or may not actually exist: Sasquatch, Yeti, strange lake & sea creatures (the Loch Ness monster(s)), giant monitor lizards, giant sloths, possible surviving dinosaurs. Those who are sceptical of this subject please refrain from rude remarks.
Roger Patterson died in 1972 (either cancer or Hodgkins disease, I can't remember which). Right up to his deathbed he swore to the film's authenticity. The other man present during the filming episode, Bob Gimlin, is still alive and still stands by the film - despite never having received a penny from it! Gimlin has stated that from his vantage point he could clearly see the muscles moving below the fur as the animal walked away.Spanish_Eyes wrote:If I am not mistaken, Patterson himself admitted that he had made up the hoax, as was known 2 years ago when he died.
Yes, hoaxes do hurt the credibilty of cryptozoology. The media will jump on stories such as Wallace's, or the more bizarre type of bigfoot stories ("I saw bigfoot come out of a UFO") and unfortunately it's these types of stories that stick with the general public.spanish eyes wrote: However, hoaxes are real harmful. They make people believe that all the cryptozoology stuff is made up to make cash.
