(53,661 posts)A few native American tribes claim the existance of such creatures.* Jane Goodall said on NPR that there is no proof, but that being a 'romantic' she 'wants to believe.' Since I want to believe too, just because, I found this the best one. The wackier, the better, and the better to understand the Baggers amongst us. They indeed, may believe in several things before breakfast:
One fringe theory, supported by paranormal investigator Jon-Erik Beckjord, theorizes that the lack of hard evidence supporting Bigfoot's existence may be due to the creature being an interdimensional being that slips in and out of dimensions.
*Unfortunately, the picture is disputed, according to Wikipedia's Bigfoot or Sasquatch page, despite the native claims about these guys.
Frame 352 from the Patterson-Gimlin film, alleged by Roger Patterson and Robert Gimlin to show a bigfoot, and by some others to show a man in an ape suit.[1]

frogmarch
(12,158 posts)I cringe at the way the early colonists treated the native Americans.
My 7th great-grandfather Thomas Perley was on the committee that in 1701 bought the deed for the town of Boxford, MA, from three of the grandsons of Masconnomet, sagamore (chief) of the Agawam tribe of the Algonquian People, for two shillings and six pence....oh, and some "vittels and drink. (See 2nd footnote)

The name of another distant great-grandfather of mine, John Peabody, appears at the top of the page. (Both Thomas Perley and John Peabody were Salem witch trials jurors. )
