On Bigfoot's trail
How do you believe in something that—to the rest of the world—doesn't exist?

... ... much stuff ... ...

Here's what I learn from these Bigfooters in the next 24 hours: Never hold a staring contest with a Sasquatch. Keep any white lights turned off and stowed away. They're preternaturally strong, fast and clever. They have a penchant for chucking giant rocks at people when they're feeling threatened. They can swim 100 yards without coming up for air. They prey on deer. They fish for salmon. They like peanut butter sandwiches. If you set out a snack for them on a picnic table or back porch, like a bag of apples or watermelon rind, they might leave you a gift in its place—a pile of stones or feathers or 10 dead field mice wrapped in leaves of grass. The females secrete a pleasant, cinnamony odor. The males, according to Taylor, reek of "dead dog, B.O., urine and garbage—mixed together and set on fire." They migrate with their food supply. Like cats, their eyes glow in the dark.

They even have their own spoken language. Taylor fetches his laptop to show us some audio of the "Sierra Sounds," alleged Bigfoot "chatter" recorded in California's Sierra Nevada mountains in the 1970s. "They sound like Oriental samurai," a woman in bright pink lipstick and track pants leans over and tells me. Taylor plays the recording. For the next 10 minutes, we listen to a series of low-pitched snorts, grunts, wails and rapid-fire gibberish.

They're also creatures of tremendous contradictions. Despite their enormous mass, they can weave through the tree line undetected. Despite their super-powered strength, they're quickly scared off by bright lights. Despite their apparent interest in humans, it seems they'd rather not be found out. "They have a real aversion to video cameras," one woman tells me. "I don't know how," she says. "As soon as you have a video camera on, they're gone. It's really interesting. How do they know that it's there?"

And despite countless eyewitness accounts, no Bigfoot body has ever been discovered. A Bigfoot has never been hit by a semi or shot by a hunter's wayward bullet. There are no bones, no carrion, no fossil record, let alone any Bigfoot-sized scat.

Fair enough.

There are things in and on this planet that we have no idea are out there.

Is "Sasquatch" out there sitting on a hill over I-94 watching the cars go by?

Well. Maybe. Maybe not.

But SOMETHING is out there, and it has been for a long time. And, when it suits it, it'll stop by and knock on our door.

The Native Americans in the Pacific Northwest told the White Explorers that "yeah, they're out there, we leave them alone" when asked about the 'creatures' the trappers and others kept seeing in the woods.

How many 'previously unknown' animals have turned up in the last few years. Remember, the "megamouth shark" and "Giant Squid" were legends of the deep until recently.

We know more about the surface of the moon, and have better maps of it, than we do some of the wilderness areas in our own country. Let alone places like South America, which has its own version of Bigfoot. And then there's similar critters in Asia (besides the Yeti), and so on.

To entirely dismiss things like this, to me, is the height of arrogance.
