Poll: Do you believe Albert Ostman's story?
In 1924 Albert Ostman claimed that he was kidnapped by a family of sasquatch. Ostman took lie detector tests, was interrogated by a magistrate renowned for making criminals crack under questioning and Ostman NEVER cracked, never goofed up his story and never made a penny from his story. On the contrarym, he was ridiculed, but the man deserves his place in history, as does Roger Patterson and to a lesser degree. Our poll question of the day: Do you believe his story?

ReplyDeleteWhatever you say

This man is bleevable
DeleteBought a selfie stick to attach my iPhone to to hold the phone way above my head to get a better view of whatever. Tried it tonight and the video as pretty unstable. Ran around with it and the video was unviewable. So I figure if I used it while out looking for the big guy it wouldnt work. I would be shaking so bad if I encountered him or her or them that there is no chance. Good for selfies and that's it.
There are gyro stabilized rigs that will give great results. Naturally size and price and ruggedness are a concern
MMC
Currently 82 percent yes. Lot of closet readers here that are quite astute.
DeleteBiggest reason it is so believable is back in the 50s he pointed out so many details about these creatures that have since been corroborated so many thousands of times. I think the old man wanted a mate for daughter and she took a liking to him.

Good first try MMC. Put those fabricating skills of yours to good use. Half the fun is drawing it up and experimenting. Gyro may be way to go.
DeleteChuck
chuck....sad to see suh leave sad day indeed..same old lions...7-9
DeleteMaybe I need to look at a better camera. Something with IR and better stabilization. I was getting that image twist that the iPhone is known for.
DeleteMMC
Ngata is not much of a drop off, Bobby. NC
DeleteHey Bobby LAYNE. Gonna miss Suh and it may devastate the defense, but 116 mil with 58 guaranteed is a steep steep price. He may never make another playoff game with the Dolphins.
DeleteChuck
Plus he may be one incident away from a suspension.
Deletewell i'll be the first to cast a no vote...sorry al dementia is a horrible fate for anyone...
ReplyDeleteBelieving your own story is one thing, having others take it seriously is priceless.
DeleteYou guys would certainly know!!
Delete^ they know more than you do,clearly.
DeleteSomehow... Going by the comment exchanges... I think not.
DeleteThere is absolutely NO reason for this guy to have made his story up..I believe he is telling the truth..like so many others who claim they have seen the creature..remember too,that the tribes-peoples say that this creature is real..but then I guess you`re one of those people that ascribe to the "what would they know..they`re just primitive and backwards" brigade.
DeleteWho cares? I want to know whatever happened to Captain Jack Bindernagel.
ReplyDeleteHEAR HEAR!
Delete^ Who,who ?
DeleteI believe he was credible, but I prefer the story of Muchalat Harry. That one gives me the willies.
ReplyDeleteWell, this encapsulates what bigfooting is really about... having fun with stories. And there's nothing wrong with stories.
ReplyDeleteTHAN OBAMAS A FOOTER. AND AT LEAST 51% WERE REALLY THAT STUPID!
DeleteTIWCE! IDIOTS
Being from Chicago I had the privilege to vote for him 5 times, not including the primaries.
DeleteTK are you being satirical or did you really misspell those words?
DeleteWell then being from Chicago you voted for him to be president 4 times and senator once.....your lacking a good democrat from Chicago could of got 8 votes easy.
DeleteWhen stories manifest into physical sign, what does that mean? Oh that's right! Fumbling "sceptics" getting sweaty!
DeleteIf you are from Chicago, you didn't have a choice but to vote for Obama, he was the king of getting his opponents thrown off the ballot due to "eligibility" issues or shamed them into exiting the race. What's amazing is you never really had a choice but you walked away thinking you did...
DeleteLOL conservatards in action. Priceless.
DeleteSo is the prerequisite for being a footer is belief in the Ostman story and that Patty is real?
ReplyDeleteAnd stick structures. Don't forget stick structures.
DeleteDS considers them prime evidence- so much that he said he could prove Bigfoot through them.
DeleteI tell you what's for sure... Are that some people pretend to not believe in "Bigfoot" because they don't want their parents making fun of them, who pretend to be "sceptics" and call other believers "footers" so they don't look like they're trying to fit in.
Delete^ ooh that`s just lame,joe..lame and limp as your flaccid dick.
Delete^ ps..the dick below your flabby belly you don`t often get to see
DeleteWhat's the matter son, run out of intellectual creativity? I guess that was wafer thin already.
DeleteWho goes into detail about another man's dick? Tell us Anon, how did it taste?
DeleteI'm going with Anon troll ass, anyone else want a guess? He's been bending you guys over for what? years now?
DeleteHey Vegas!!!
DeleteNo.Laddie...I don``t deal in "creativity" but facts..and there ain`t many of them to be found in the fantasy world you inhabit.
Deletethis the joetomi the schmuck gets smoked blog ?

DeleteWow! That's some rather exceptional grammar there pal... Are you are genius? "Facts" are, you'd be better off sticking with the little league. Your blood pressure will be better for it.
DeleteThe only fantasies come around when you're all alone in that lonely bedroom of yours at night.
Hey Iktomi!
DeleteThat whole bigfoot family aspect of Ostman's story seems like BS. And the idea that the bigfoot chattered and interacted with Ostman in a human like manner also seems like BS.
ReplyDeleteAlso, that whole escape story sounds like a tall tale. From what we know about the speeds that bigfoot are capable of, the idea that Ostman could outrun the female bigfoot while the male was dealing with the swallowed tin of snuff seems hard to believe.
That's the problem with bigfoot stories. They can't be substantiated. Many of them sound like tall tales and are probably just that.
That's really all it is... a story. Nothing more.

Delete8;47... We already know that Sasquatch evading in social groups is very likely, as this would account for them evading so well. We also have what can be described as "chatter" in a published study called Manlike Monsters on Trial, by the University of Wyoming.
DeleteThe getting away part is plausible if they weren't interested in eating him or keeping him in the first place. Assuming what the agenda of a creature that you seemingly don't believe in is, is not very good reasoning.
"Bigfoot stories" can in fact be substantiated by the physical and biological sign of an unknown, bipedal primate that is twice the size of recognised human primates. Let me know if you would like all this referenced at any point.
We don't know jack, no body, no scat, no hair, no DNA no peer reviewed studies of this "species"behavior...
DeleteAll we have is some very interesting anecdotal stories, blurry photo's/vids and some things that go bump in the night.
I'd love it if someone outed bigfoot as real but until then, all of this is just stories with ostmans being one of the best, I think Smeja's "I killed bigfoot" is right up there as well.
..The escape story is hokey, for sure...Bigfoot chewing tobaccy..lol..Good thing Osterman was not a crack head: a bigfoot jonesing for coke would be very dangerous...I also think he would have suffocated in that sleeping bag on the way to the bigfoots camp...

... And we have three whole databases of Sasquatch reports by every credible and reliable professional background you cab think of, to make educated guesses on regarding their behaviour.
What people like you would very much prefer, is a version of events where none of this data is available, because it makes your job a little easier being cynical of the topic, and easier to dismiss, when in actual fact it turns out you know pretty much next to nothing.
Your opinion is respected, but please don't come around with your "version" of the state of evidence, cause it's as far from the truth as you can comprehend.
^ are you for real ? ..have a read of your own last paragraph..you hypocrite.
DeleteYou naivety is not my hypocrisy, son.
DeleteOstman never did crack !
ReplyDeleteRight turn Clive.
DeleteHA HA HA HA HA HA!!!!
DeleteI thought he grabbed his rifle and shot at them when escaping, thus preventing the creatures from pursuing. But, no I don't believe his story because Will Jevning said it was inconsistent.
ReplyDeleteI 100% beg to differ... One of the main things going for the whole account is the fact that it has remained consistent during his entire life time after said event.
Delete^ ge`back to your sausage an` chips
DeleteI was having a tuna fish salad baked potato, actually.
Delete...Joe, you mean "consistent for the part of his life he chose to tell the story"....I mean, why did he wait over 30 years?...That and the 2 hour ride in the sleeping bag makes me doubt the story..I changed my mind about the tobaccy though: I saw a photo of a chimp smoking a cigarette..lol...
DeleteHa ha ha ha!!
DeleteOk buddy... I think I was pretty clear on what I was trying to communicate. I think you'll find his story very consistent with the manner in which countless others have chosen to disclose their encounters, and the reasons why innumerable others haven't; ridicule. One need not look any further than your very sentiment... Dismissing it out of hand with nothing but cynicism as a means of.
I am going to try and source you an account of someone interviewed by Dan Shirley (I believe) of someone who broke their leg out in the wilderness and passed out. When he came out of his delirium, he somehow had travelled many miles to the nearest cabin where he was then treated and taken to hospital. Now I am not for one second trying to use this as validation of such an event... But there are accounts that lend to some level of consistency.
...Ok..Thanks for the reply...
DeleteThe bigfoot family story is made up.
ReplyDeletesurely not ?
Delete"... It's all lies! All of it is all lies!!!!"
Delete(rocking profusely and sweating in the corner...)
All members of our Native American (Mohawk) tribe believe in Bigfoot and KNOW they exist. Over many years, a lot of our tribal members, have had encounters, and many interactions with them. We call them: "The Woodsmen", not Bigfoot.
ReplyDeleteThe "white race" is no ignorant about the interactions of Nature and animals.
We feed them all the time at our "Gifting stump" and tyhey just love to take the items we leave like marbles, Wind chimes, jewelry Bulbs etc. They in turn, leave us with their wisdom about Nature. Of course, you, "White people" will not believe anything we tell you. We never expect the "White Race" to understand us, or them.

Hello Tina!! Hope you are well... Not seen you post around here for a while!
DeleteJohn has been nursing an almost broken leg, after a horse he was training, landed on him. He's 63 years old now, and shouldn't be doing that anymore. Also, John's life (My sister) is dying of cancer!,Any day now, but they told us that 2 weeks ago.
DeleteOh dear lord, how awful. Please, please, please pass on my sincerest of thoughts to everyone concerned.
Delete^^^Hi Tina Running Bear, That's great that yo do that. Would you have a photo(s) or video of these Bigfoot you interact with?????............
DeletePlease elaborate. How do they "leave us with their wisdom about Nature"? How exactly do they communicate this wisdom of nature to you?
DeleteThis entire incident seems to be legitimate. There is a rumor floating around in the shadows of bigfoot lure about Albert's story that mainstream media hasn't reported. Ostmen also revealed that whilst he was captive, he mated with the young teenage sasquatch and they became partners while he was in camp. After knocking the bottom out of Sassy, he did like most young spry men do, he hit the ground running and bolted out of there. You can find this account on the original story posted on this site almost three years ago.
ReplyDeleteOnly a moron would fall for that tall tale BS about being held captive by a bigfoot family.
ReplyDeleteWell, it's certainly at the right place to be retold then.
