The Science of Monster Hunting

By -

It seems everyone is catching "monster fever" these days. Articles about bigfoot, nessie, and the mothman seem to pop up everywhere. In this instance, businessinsider.com takes a look into the realm of being a cryptozoologist.
"Cryptozoology straddles the line between the paranormal and empirical sciences, or what's known as a protoscience. A protoscience is one which chases after ghosts but which, after all, is willing to accept that they may just not exist. That is, if someone can disprove it enough to satisfy a crytozoologist. And, as Freeman proves, that's not easy. They spend their time investigating the mysterious animals of the world. Big Foot, the Loch Ness Monster, Yeti: these animals or "megafauna" have inspired native populations and fiction writers for generations. But some people take it to the next level: believing that they really exist, somewhere out there."

    O.k. you heard it from me first. Justin Smega really did kill an adult female and a young bigfoot. The reason the bodies we're not brought in is because forensic analysis would have revealed his DNA was on and in both individuals. He went so far as to Mung the adult female. No I will not tell you the definition of Mung. Dbc.

    These people call what they do 'cryptozoology'; '-zoology' meaning 'the study of animals', and 'crypto-' meaning 'shit we made up'. - Penn Jillette

      I'm talking ZZs' early rock,I Heard It On The X.Genre of that nature.A three man band like Rush and ZZ that could put out that type of music was and is still the best.

Samurai Chatter: Have you used it in the field?

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.

Rumors abound on whether or not Finding Bigfoot will continue, but hopeful news is on the horizon. Snake Oil Productions, the production company responsible for Finding Bigfoot, is seeking a permit for filming in the Monterey, Virginia area. Monterey lies between the Monongahela and George Washington National Forests. Definitely a good place to look for bigfoot. We can only speculate if this means Finding Bigfoot has been signed on for additional seasons, or if perhaps a new bigfoot show is in the works. We'll keep you updated on any further announcements for sure.

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
