Joe Black Agrees: Everyone sees something different

"Infant Bigfoot" on left compared to a squirrel on right - Joe Black

We don't care what anyone says about Joe Black, one thing we do know about him is that he stands his ground when it comes to his blurry/bobsquatchy videos. In many of his purported Bigfoot films, he's pretty certain that he didn't capture any images of squirrels, raccoon, or shadows. As he admits in his latest post,everyone sees something different and Bigfoot is in the eye of the beholder:

In 2009 I captured a black and white video of what I maintain is a infant Bigfoot. I did exhaustive follow-up on the video. I had the angles and measurements so using some good old-fashioned algebra I was able to accurately determine the size of the subject’s head and the body height. To this day the video still gets hits and is still controversial. The interesting aspect of the video is the diverse range of comments I receive. Almost everyone sees something different. There is no argument something is there, but what is there is the subject of debate.

I of course see an infant Bigfoot, but others claim to see a diverse range of animals and that is the interesting aspect. I have received comments from people who claim to be “Life Long Hunters”, “Expert Woodsmen”, “Wild Life Biologist”, “Forensic Experts”, “spent all my time in the woods”, “Raccoon Hunters”, and of course “Bigfoot Experts”. Most will guess an animal they are familiar with while others seem to just pull something out of the hat and toss it out there, but many of the commenters claim it can not be a Bigfoot because “that is not what they look like”, “everyone knows they don’t exist”, or my favorite one “I do not know what a Bigfoot looks like, but I know that is not it!”.

Even though I have demonstrated the head of the subject to be at least eight inches across commenter after commenter will claim it’s a small rodent which head never grows bigger than two inches.

It appears that people are going to form their opinions regardless of the facts. As the old saying goes, “don’t tell me the facts, that will get in the way of my opinion”. I have found that most people bring their predisposed biases with them and look at everything through that filter. What I see as a Bigfoot others see known animals or if it cannot be explained as a known animal then it must be a hoax.
