Nick RedfernDecember 19, 2021
I have a question for you; a question that may be more significant than we might think. It goes as follows: What will happen if, one day, conclusive evidence that the Bigfoot creatures really do exist is found? Well, the first – and quite natural – assumption that springs to my mind is that those people who spend so much of their time looking for such monstrous things will finally get vindication that they weren’t wasting their precious hours, days and weeks, after all. But, there are bigger issues at stake than that. Actually, they are much bigger, and far more serious than the average Sasquatch-seeker getting congratulated on a job well done. Many eye-witnesses claim that Bigfoot – when seen up close and personal – appears to have definitively human characteristics, and particularly so in its facial appearance. On this very same track, what if Bigfoot is not an unknown ape, but actually some sort of ancient human, an early offshoot of the Human Race that, against all the odds and countless millennia, has survived extinction and avoided capture? If such is the case, does that mean they should be given rights and recognized status as citizens of the United States? That may sound laughable, crazy and extreme to some of you reading this, but – given the theoretical possibilities cited above – can we actually rule out such a remote possibility ever becoming a reality?
I seem to remember a few years ago an attempt to place chimpanzees and bonobos into the genus Homo. This may seem (and perhaps is) arbitrary, but had it succeeded it would have made these animals taxonomically human. I can't imagine any more rights would have been conferred to them, nor to any discovered hominids. Unless those animals are able and willing to participate in our societies' legal structures, I suspect shooting dead a sasquatch would be classed as the killing of an endangered, protected animal, but wouldn't be murder. Equally, I doubt folk would be prevented from using the wilderness as they already do. There might be a few more wildlife preserves if sasquatch were discovered to be operating in specific areas. Otherwise, apart from its significance to science, I doubt the discovery of other hominid species would have much of an impact on our lives. I would hope that, rather than experimenting on captive bigfoots, our scientists would be sensitive enough to the intelligence of such creatures to develop relationships with populations in the wild, but I sincerely doubt that would be the case.An article by Nick Redfern on the possible consequences if Bigfoot was found

Some humans lack human sensibilities too. Does that make them non-human?Apes arent human because they lack human sensibilities.
That is definitely a "given!" 'Myth.'Some humans lack human sensibilities too. Does that make them non-human?
Interesting. The second clip shows the whole creature so as analysis of the gait should be possible.Some interesting new Bigfoot/Sasquatch footage that's recently surfaced. Could be real, could be bogus. I'm just here to share it. There's not any real information on it's origins, but there's a brief run down given 15 seconds into the clip as to how the poster recieved it.
If I had conclusive video of bigfoot, I don't think I'd be sending it to a little-known YouTube channel -especially one that emphasises certain WORDS in capitals and RED text. That always reminds me of dodgy ads.Interesting. The second clip shows the whole creature so as analysis of the gait should be possible.
I’m not sure who NvTv are. A quick search turns up a Belfast TV station and a You Tube channel which has a lot of less convincing clips.
Without knowing the time and place of the clip or the identity of the sender things get more problematic and hoaxes more likely. The “filmed late evening” black and white could also hide a few things.
My first thought was that someone had found and gender reassigned the Patty suit. It certainly looks “hefty” but there’s little indication of scale, on the clip so again it’s difficult.
Unless someone can spot something obviously fake then an analysis of the gait, especially a comparison with Patty, bearing in mind the gender difference would be interesting. Not sure I’m convinced on the gait but some of the footage seems to show the creature walking up a slope(?)
I’m eager to see what our more knowledgeable posters make of this.
Wow - very impressive, looks exactly like the Patterson / Gimlin film from 1967.Some interesting new Bigfoot/Sasquatch footage that's recently surfaced. Could be real, could be bogus.

Yes, Bigphoot2 that's a big minus, surely a big TV station would guarantee anonymity if required. But I wonder whether they would take it seriously, or even bother to look?If I had conclusive video of bigfoot, I don't think I'd be sending it to a little-known YouTube channel -especially one that emphasises certain WORDS in capitals and RED text.

For me it was constant ads that popped up. I couldn't even watch the whole thing because it got annoying and I figured I'm being duped into giving this NVTV account ad revenue.If I had conclusive video of bigfoot, I don't think I'd be sending it to a little-known YouTube channel -especially one that emphasises certain WORDS in capitals and RED text.

I vaguely thought that both gorillas and bonobo chimps were altruistic with group members, and that this had been documented. If they were altruistic, this still doesn't make them human. And, of course, some humans are not very human in terms of altruism. Edit: as Myth above noted!Apes arent human because they lack human sensibilities.
Unless they have a good reason not to, most normal humans will help another in need.
Apes dont do that. We dont know enough about BF social activities (if they can socialise; they seem pretty solitary).
We know from remains that some examples of Homo Erectus seem to be of examples that were elderly, or sick, people who not only needed a one off help, but long term care.
Almas, if the Caucasian stories are true, can live alongside humans.
It's a good point - who would you go to if you felt you had genuine video footage? The mainstream media might ignore the story or take the piss, the less mainstream might exploit it so much nobody took it seriously.Yes, Bigphoot2 that's a big minus, surely a big TV station would guarantee anonymity if required.

The only Bigfoot news item I've seen on UK TV was Patty and IIRC that was a "poor" news day.
I couldn't tell if those two clips are supposed to be from the same event, and I'm not about to go back to that place to try to sort it out. If it's real, it's been ruined by the presentation. Not that it is proof as anything, as Sharon points out. The "Bigfoot evidence" I find the most compelling is the first hand accounts from credible people willing to go on the record as having encountered something so, um, questionable. There are dozens, hundreds, maybe thousands of accounts from experienced people who spend a great deal of time in the outdoors, know the typical wildlife of their territory, and describe amazing encounters with Bigfoot at close range and in good light. There is something very strange going on here.For me it was constant ads that popped up. I couldn't even watch the whole thing because it got annoying and I figured I'm being duped into giving this NVTV account ad revenue.
Also, objectively, there are a number of interesting Bigfoot videos out there that may be on par with the PGF but no video is going to be convincing. No credibility is possible with video or photos anymore.
Could be the camera going into low-light mode.Why is the video in black and white?

What are the chances, eh?
