    Thank you Seamus. BFRO was none to happy with my post. I was annoyed with people all over the country (name your state) serving up heaping spoonfuls of “Possum Soup” using BFRO data as basis for their data because it is the quasi-official authority on everything Bigfoot. As result which ever state or region a facebook post originates from it usually accompanies claims of first, second or third in ranking of “Top Ten”.

    I like Matt Moneymaker and he called me by phone last spring. We talked laughed and joked about an hour. I was told there was Bigfoot report south of me about 30 miles away. He has aksed if I would go down there meet with a BFFRO guy and a retired federal agent who I know personally. I did, we made the scene aand everything appeared legitimate. The Monroe County Bigfoot Report.

    We just disagree on data. I poke with BFRO people and they seem to focuson expeditions and I want to look at the data. BFRO shows 266 Michigan and I say there is something amiss with the data. I show 2,743 report at present.

    You asked: “Where in Michigan do you reside?” I am 6 miles from Detroit City Limits proper. Funnny you should ask. I just posted something on my groupsite about Wayne County, the most populated county in all of Michigan 40 something Bigfoot reports. Sort of exposes spoon fed “Possum Soup” willing dupes who believe Sasquatch only live in remote isolated places and they just want to beleleft alone doesn’t it? They follow people and go where people go.

    Long before statehood Michigan was recognized as the original Northwest Territories which presently encompasses: Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, Wisconsin, Minnesota. The latter is where the great Mississippi River begins. Named after “Mad Anthony Wayne”. Wayne was commissioned by president Washington to push West. See Aumtum of the Black Snake, the Creation of the United States Military, by William Hogeland.

    Wayne County, the most populous county in the state of Michigan once ranged 75,000 miles and included: Northwestern Ohio, Eastern Wisconsin, northern Indiana and northern Illinois. Present day Wayne County is 673 square miles and is a far cry from 75,000 square miles but remains the most populated of all the states’ 83 counties.

    ALL 50 STATES AND CANADA

    While some fixate on titles and expeditions. The real work is looking at data. I will repost my findings once again. The figures and so called rankings of all of U.S. and Canada according to data/ reports and once again we’ll see how th above information fares in comparison. “I will do this on my own time, as my time permits.”

    I checked the source of the data. Welcome to the fantasy world. The report presents a misleading picture. As the saying goes, “to a hammer, everything looks like a nail.” In this case, the data appears to have been interpreted in a way that supports a predetermined conclusion rather than an objective analysis.
    That raises questions about whether the material was thoroughly researched before it was published.

    The work seems to rely on skewed data and name recognition instead of careful, independent research. Thorough research is labor-intensive, time-consuming, and often unrewarding, but essential for accuracy.

    Although the graphics are appealing, strong visuals do not make up for weak methodology. Next time, it would be better to do the necessary due diligence or consult someone with relevant expertise.~Val

    The biggest Fallacy learned is 1. Sasquatches only exist in the most remote isolated parts and just want to be left alone. Southeastern Michigan is a concentrated heavily populated metropolitanarea with 6 million people yet there are hundreds of Bigfoot reports. The Big Lie, Sasquatches want to be left alone, they go where people go. They follow people.

    Wolf and Linda B. – I am right there with you and agree. Whoever posted the this “Myth” thread could have been better served the topic with Sasquatches wihtout the insult.

    Angels of God are divine “supernatural beings of pure divine light in my opinion.

    ————-
    I demonstrated my opposition to opening point made by the creator of this thread with at least three brief examples why in my humble opinion her opening point was inaccurate and likely more about her personal belief and not about genuine interst in the topic. This sneaky ostentacious comment implying no organized relion has a place in Bigfootery certainly does as much as personal statements equivocating organized religion as a “myth”. That was the opening salvo inviting the contravening rebuttal to thread comment lacking any real knowledge or research made without basis in fact.

    This is one interesting thread topic I was aware of but I hadn’t seen any example type summaries posted here.

    Woman says she observed a very large Sasquatch type figure peeking from a tree watching kids. Her theory is of they are of demonic nature. She rebuked it in the name of Jesus. It disappeared. -(Michigan)

    The above summary was was found most germane to your topic and critical for people to see to lend credibility or efficacy to research. It was dated last summer and I haven’t looked for older accounts previously mentioned.

    In my opinion “Responding to prayer Myth,” Carl Jung says: you are tapping into your own internal narrative that shapes how you perceive reality and your place in it. Prayer for me is Not a Myth and not part of my reality. ~ Just Saying!

    Watching and reading. Interesting topic. Indeed there are reports of witnesses invoking “God” in the presence Sasquatches and secessesion of Bigfoot presence ususally ending with it walking away.

    This statement reflects a divide between viewing encounters as purely biological versus inherently spiritual.

    You brought the topic into Sasquatch arena and now you wish to dictate the terms of my response. If I’m or (you) the one who opened the door to the Sasquatch conversation, it’s only right that you set the stage. I’m not here to gatekeep the lore or dictate how we talk about it, and neither are you. Whether you want to dive into sighting evidence, the biology of a hypothetical premise or just the cultural impact I’m here with factual data.

    During my own experience(s) headon car collision and Sasquatch encounter where I felt oppressive sensations of being under the influence of something not good I thought of of “Freewill” as in God’s gift to humanity upon birth and felt immediate relief and a sort of secessation of those feelings (some call it infrasound) and knew we had to leave and we did.

    Next case in point. I will only say it was like a NDE (near death experience) in moments glance you look up and see the frontend of truck in front of you. Your mind races (mine did) through all these mathmatical problems distance (
    ), rate/speed ( or ), and time ()—formula to the point of impact.

    Moment of impact- I said “Oh God” You see short glimpses of Freeze Frames in slow motion. Me? I was focused on the passenger and her distorted gaping mouth. In slow motion I counted nicks and imprefections on the chrome grill as in cam close until impact!

    Horrible violent sounds and I’m thinking I’ll survive this and I did. I anticipated and prepared for the secondary whiplaash force then… everything went silent and black and eerily still and quiet. I was in and ou of consciousness wonndering if this was death??? Everything all black and quiet. Of course strangers were staring in my eyes talking to me … I would wake long enough to ask, if they were medical people.

    In closing I recall an account out of Texas??? man riding with his father. Both observed a Sasquatch crossing ther road, the man (witness) says to his horror the father stops the vehicle leaps out with his Bible in hand to confront Sasquatch reciting scripture.

    Sasquatch turns growls and throws a dead snake at his father. To me that has many meanings.

    Thanksgiving 2025 wasn’t great for me. Unlike most years the holiday is filled with family, food, and good conversation, I spent it feeling unwell, laying on the couch by the fireplace and watching TV. Everybody went to my daughter’s house so as to not catch what I had and I spent that special holiday alone in solitude, just me and my dog.

    I woke up in time to see my daughter bringing me a dish of food but it was cold and I didn’t eat it. She wanted to see how I was doing and went back to the party.

    I’m sure I got up to eat when she left and sung to my dog gave her some pets and talked to her before dozing back off. A week later I’m feeling better and our dog dies. Absolutely broke our hearts.

    Right now, we have our grand dog German Shepherd, a big she dog here for a few weeks. I don’t think we’ll get another dog though because it’s too hard to say goodbye in a few short years. I’m okay with having our grand dogs over to visit from time to time now. But yeah, everything is good and back to normality as life
    goes on.

    The Polar Vortex cold snowy days? Hey I’m teaching my grand daugthers how to use to the snow blowers.

    I am a Bigfoot data miner from Michigan. Just a hint. If you want your experience to standout with more appeal and some relevancy with creditability.
    —————-
    Start with Year, Month, day, Hour, (if you’re not sure estimate time of season and time)
    Be Concise and Summarize.
    List: County and State of Province
    Sate the Facts: Who, When, Where, What of the experience.

    If your experience entails more than one experience list it #1 beginning with the most recent then the ne as #2 etc., etc.

    LOL lots and lots of stories memorialized and etched in memory forever more. Which do Tell, the time I cried and wept with the mother of a little boy I couldn’t save? The I stood watch all night at an abandoned farm to protect the body (crime scene) of a little boy waiting for crime to show u, where I talked to the little boy in spirit telling him not to be frightened, and to just follow the light?

    Or would you rather hear about the Rescue call that came in over 911 identifying the callers name, phone number and home address- We arrive only to learn the house was previously owned by the caller with that phone number and address previous but he died of a heart attack (the same reason for his 911 call) and the house was torn down and no longer at that address. It was aschool parking lot That one?

    Or the one of the little boy who called 911 reporting his Dad was on fire? Went there found no fire and virtually nobody home. I stood in the living rooma announcing myself and walked through the lower level. It was quiet but strange. I stood there in the living room whn suddenly this litlle boy appears next to me like something out of the twilight zone I ask him where his mom and dad are while I resume looking around Next second I look back and he is gone, I never seen the boy again and didn’t know where he came from or who he was. Fire/ Rescue on their enroute and arrive. I step back in the kitchen to figure this out, squat down and see some charred legs of a skeleton underneath the tiny wooden table. The victim was completely charred with remenants of blue jeans otherwise just skeleton figure.The fire captain and firefighters burst through the door all battle dressed carrying axes, masks expecting a fully engulfed house but find me squatting looking over this single body undeneath the table. Is that story? Lots and lots of stories…

    I used to journallittle things like my own personal diary.
