User Disappears After Posting Image of Bigfoot On Reddit.com

By -

A year ago, we re-posted a single still from a video that purportedly contains 50 seconds worth of Bigfoot footage. The Reddit.com user, PurloinicusFinch, claims the creature in the video was filmed in the Cascade Mountains of Washington in 1996, during a family camping trip with friends.

A Bigfoot "expert" had been contacted about the video, but that was the last time we heard from the user. This person says they have no intention of putting it up on the internet.

Here's the edited conversation from Reddit.com (with comments removed):

"So here's the story. Back in '96 my family was on a camping trip with some friends in the Cascade Mountains in Washington. My dad is and has always been into documenting everything we do. Pictures and videos abound of anywhere we went.

Well on this particular trip he went up to find a nice spot to get a landscape shot. Sure enough, he locks onto a Big Foot about 100 yards away. The video is short, maybe a total of 50 seconds of Big Foot in frame, and mostly of him just kind of walking through a small meadow and sniffing some trees. Regardless it is the best Big Foot footage that has been released to date.

My question to Reddit is: What do I do now? Who should I contact? I am borderline destitute and would love a shot at making some money for my dad and I off of this. Any ideas?

EDIT: Here is a screen shot from the video. Kinda blurry all on its own. But hey, that 1996 for you.

tl;dr I have amazing footage of Big Foot how do I make money off of it?"

"I've spoken with my dad and he's not interested in being involved in any way. He has his own thing going on life-wise and isn't looking for people to show up asking questions about 1996."

"I know, it sucks. But I honestly don't care that much whether this gets released or not. I'm just in a pretty tight life situation at the moment and could use the help. If the community doesn't see fit to compensate me for the video then it'll just stay in my family."

"Thanks for the advice. And again, this wasn't a discussion of Big Foots existence. Obviously it is reasonable to doubt an assertion like that."

"This thread wasn't intended to be a debate on the existence of Big Foot. That's been done before. A lot. This thread is for ideas on what to do with a video believed to be Sasquatch. If all you're asking for is proof that I have footage of SOMETHING, then whatever advice you have regarding my post isn't likely to be what I'm looking for."

"This is actually an insane story. Here is how it went down.

My dad immediately whips this tape out when we get back home. Blows our minds. My mom wants nothing to do with it. And you'd kind of have to know my dad, but he logs it away along with all the other cool stuff he has. It then disappears into mountains of old tapes in the basement.

Fast forward five or so years and I'm on a mission to find it. It takes weeks of watching old family movies but I finally find it. I have literally just finished watching it the next day in the VCR with my friends when my sister hits the eject button and the tape gets jammed in the VCR. I convince my parents to let me destroy to the VCR to get to the tape out, but when I do, the film is all jacked up, torn, and pulled out of the deck.

I take it to a local guy and pay him out the ass to salvage it and burn it in a readable format to DVD. I eventually lose that sometime during college but have it saved to my failing laptops HD...which dies shortly after. I have a friend salvage all he can from my HD and get a new one. All the files on it are jacked, but last week I'm scouring the damn thing for some old songs and christmas photos when I happen upon the Sasquatch file. Jackpot.

Anyway, the reason I hadn't done anything with it up until this point was I was a kid and it was my dads video. If he wanted to do something with it he could. He didn't seem to want to so that's just the way it was. But I now have the only copy in digital form and am taking it upon myself to not let it go to waste.

tl;dr The video keeps getting lost and I now that it is found, I am committed to doing something with it since my dad doesn't seem to care."
[...]
"Affirmative. I just emailed a Sasquatch expert, we'll see what he has to say."

"I have no intention of putting it up on the internet."

    I think I have some footage on some video in my basement...oh, wait, that's Uncle Marty when he was drunk at the Christmas Party--or is that Aunt Ruth? If this was legit video, just put it on YouTube and monetize it and get some cash for curious lookie-loos.

      all the time that is passed and he never used his video for money..hmmmm.
      Not only that he came out and said he wanted to sell it because the money is needed.
      The family do not care to use it cause they probably would feel like people are gonna call them "crazy".
      Seem to me that they filmed some sort of creature that was not known to them.
      What is your issue?

    DVDs were invented in the early 1990s (1993 is the answer shown on two different websites as a third said 1996), but they did not become popular until around the turn of the millennium. Until around 2001, people mostly still rented videocassettes.

    If he'd of said copied to NTSC VHS...Then maybe!!

      The encounter happened in 1996. FTA: "Fast forward five or so years and I'm on a mission to find it." It was in the early 2Ks when he had the film transferred to DVD. That is plausible.

      That aside, this "film" was touched by at least 3 people, likely poor quality film transferred to DVD with more loss since the video was mangled...

      People need to stop clamoring for photos and film since no one believes them anyway. Or at least find an area, take film, bring a biologist in so that he/she can take film too. Then evidence is reproducible, a clear step toward proof. While 1x film and photos may convince individuals, it won't convince science or the population at large because 1x media capture can too easily be manipulated. After 50+ years, we need a specimen, preferably living. Just an opinion.

      He says 5 or "so" years, who knows - maybe it was more like 8. It also isn't clear how long it was from it getting caught in the machine, until when he finally took it in to be converted. He could've held onto it, like kept it in a box, until he found someone who could convert it, etc. He doesn't say the type of DVD - it actually sounds like it was just burned as data. Maybe by the time he took it in, the guy recommended DVD, knowing it would be archival. Maybe he meant CD, not DVD - a CD would have been totally possible. There are just too many unknowns, but I wouldn't support it or dismiss it based on the scanty amount of info presented.

    Actually, the Bigfoot's attorney contacted him and threatened action in that, it was an image or collection of images released only to the father with no inheritable rights. Mountain law is very strict on this type of thing.

    That is why we've not heard from this individual again.

    The creature is too far away from the camera to really make much out. I don't think its blurry though. To me it looks sharper than the trees around it, almost to the point that it looks phony.

    Okay from what I gather, his father took the video when he was a kid.. Then later on he gets hooked on Meth and now wishes to screw over his father to support his habit?

    First it is all about helping his father

    "My question to Reddit is: What do I do now? Who should I contact? I am borderline destitute and would love a shot at making some money for my dad and I off of this. Any ideas?"

    Next it's "SCREW DEAR OLD DAD!"

    "The video keeps getting lost and I now that it is found, I am committed to doing something with it since my dad doesn't seem to care."

    and

    " He didn't seem to want to so that's just the way it was. But I now have the only copy in digital form and am taking it upon myself to not let it go to waste."

    And the true motive

    ""I know, it sucks. But I honestly don't care that much whether this gets released or not. I'm just in a pretty tight life situation at the moment and could use the help."

    Moral of the story "DON'T USE DRUGS, OR YOU TOO WILL BECOME A DOUCHE-BAG" lol

    errm actually It is anatomically correct. Long arms, short shins, long thighs. Those talking points are well known now thanks to FB/FB, but in 1996? I think the story of the event was real at least. They may have been the victims of a hoax/joke. But if so the Hoaxer did his homework.

Bigfoot injured by a forest fire was taken away and hidden by the authorities, not even Robert Lindsay can top this story

This story was circulating the internet way back in 2004, or maybe as far back as 1999. Back when everybody was on 56k dial-up modems and a "Facebook" was just a regular book with directory listing of names and headshots. This story was so disturbing and so shocking that nobody believed it at the time. It was the Robert Lindsay " Bear Hunter: Two Bigfoots Shot and DNA Samples Taken " story of the time. And like Robert's Bear Hunter story , this witness didn't have a name. The only thing known about the witness is that this person was a government employee, anonymous of course. The author of the story was a science teacher named Thom Powell who believe it really happened and that the whole story was an elaborate cover-up. Powell said the anonymous government employee alerted the BFRO about a 7.5 feet long/tall burn victim with "multiple burns on hands, feet, legs and body; some 2nd and 3rd degree burns". Sadly, there was no DNA samples taken from

Editor's Note: This is a guest post by Suzie M., a sasquatch enthusiast. Crypto-linguists believe that the species known Bigfoot/Sasquatch/Yeti/Yowie ect speak and understand a complex language, which by all accounts seems to stem from Asia. When one listens to it there is definitely a sense of it being Chinese or Japanese. It is a very odd mix of sounds, clicks and what could be actual words. This is the reason some experts are looking into the Asian dialect theory, some have said it could be a lost dialect, which was carried from Asia by the Bigfoot species that colonised America.
