There are a 1000 times more UFO and ghost sightings.

I don't think UFO's would be aan example . Ghost either as both could be in ours . How about a big foot dog or something ? Not being a SA but it would seem we would see other beings/critters .
If ya can see it ya can hit it !

I don't think there are a dozen creatures larger than a housefly we don't know about.

More than 1,060 new species have been recently discovered in New Guinea alone.
of those 580 have been invertebrates, 134 amphibians, 2 birds, 71 fish (including an extremely rare 8-foot-long river shark),  43 reptiles and 12 mammals and they are still not finished researching. There are still areas so remote on these earth we are just now starting to penetrate their interiors. This little Blue-eyed spotted cuscus dude unknown until just recently is certainly bigger than a house fly.
and I certainly would not want to meet up with that 8 foot river shark.



I find it interesting that more than one continent has sightings and stories of a big foot , yeti, swamp creature .
If they exist I believe they are all related to the same evolutionary branch and have just changed their coat colors for example adapting to the surroundings they evolved within.

Doesn't matter, they still eat their own kind, that's why there are never any remains around.  How could I be wrong?

Different types of beings all from another dimension.  Perhaps not even the same dimension.

The dilly is that they always travel in groups of two or more, you rarely see even one, and like democrats, they eat their own..

  I think Mikey must be onto something here!  As he said, they are probably Democ-rats..   You don't see any road kill because their friends haul them off...gotta save them to vote in the next election.....  Then they eat 'em..
   They always take them to vote in precincts which are almost 100% registered Democrat..that way nobody notices them..they don't even seem to be out of place. ;) ;D ;D ;D ..

Hey Scoot...you ever been up in the Green Mtn high ridge Brandon-Goshen area, east of Lake Dunmore and Falls of Lana around the Moosalamoo camping area?...Hancock would be to the East.  Some weird and strange goings on up in there...lots of stories from the locals.  Got a couple of my own.

...TM7
I have family in Brandon. Friends in Wallingford . Use to hunt Monkton area (up the road a bit from Dunmore) with my dad. Spent a few summer as a kid with friends canoeing Dunmore and hitting Lana pools to cool off in the summer.  Haven't visited them in years though.

Wife and I usually seek out VT and NH falls every year for day trip picnics and cool swimming holes. Your inquiry was a good reminder to put Lana on the list for her to see. Took her to Bingham, Moss Glen, and Honey Hollow last year.

We live quite a bit further north from Brandon though (about 30 minutes from Canadian Border),  Much closer to Jay Peak and MT. Mansfield.  Wife calls it living in a ever changing postcard!!!

Here is what Bingham look like.

     I have an old Army buddy who lives near Brandon..maybe a tad closer to Leicester.  I try to get by his house every few years...nice country up there.  I usually cross into VT at Whitehall, NY..or take the the ferry across just above Ft Ticonderoga.
  He's of old Vermont stock..doesn't particularly enjoy the late-comer yuppies..

Many years ago I had a property outside of Brandon on the Goshen Gap road ( Hurricane Gap?) and locals  would tell me of strange screams and such going on in the range around there. A few years ago a realtor friend mentioned the same thing to me. There use to be a self-serve Vt camp ground in that region called Moosalamoo, and my wife and I went there to camp and observe these strange things, that and there was a mountain pond loaded with brookies nearby (bring an inflatable). Anyway, this camp ground had about 40+ or - campsites but none were occupied. This was about 35 years ago.  We camped out there, but then the screaming started ard 10pm...the most horrible, loud, blood curdling screams imaginable...moving around too.  There's another state camp ground off of the Goshen Gap road that is almost never used too, said to have similar events going on.

I always enjoyed going to the Lake Dunmore Lumberjack Roundup back in those days. Nice pix.

I believe in unexplained stuff including the elusive Bigfoot , Yeti, abominable snowmen etc.. If these can go undetected for years and years only to be rediscovered alive ......... well why not Bigfoot.


South China Tiger thought extinct
For the first time in more than 20 years, a South China tiger was spotted in the  Qinling Moutains.



The Javan elephant -
Javan elephants became extinct sometime in the period after Europeans arrived in Southeast Asia. They were hunted out in the 1800s. But the elephants were rediscovered in 2006 800 miles away on the island of Borneo.  (how the heck did they get on an island?) COOL MYSTERY.




The Woolly flying Squirrel

 First discovered in 1888, the species has a piteously small scientific legacy consisting of a few technical papers, a single anecdotal account of a live, captive animal and a handful of specimens scattered across the globe. But this giant among squirrels resurfaced in the mid-90's in northern Pakistan.



the Coelacanth
Once thought to have gone extinct 65 million years ago, the Coelacanth was rediscovered alive and well in 1938.




Rock Rats
The Laotian Rock Rat was thought to had become extinct millions of years ago. was rediscovered again in 2005. The nocturnal rodent lives in remote forests in Laos

Using that Laotian rock rat as an example, being found in the remote forests of Laos.
If that thing can be found in a remote area, why can't bigfoot be found in populated areas of the U.S.??
Before people are allowed to vote, they should have to answer one question, do you believe in bigfoot?????  If you answer no, you're allowed to vote.

The interiors of the Canada rockies are pretty remote and formidable places where you could probably live a whole lifetime and never see another human being if you wanted too.

Hey Swamp, I have a few questions.  You keep throwing out these one-liners about bigfoot, ghost, and whatever else you mean by extra-dimensional beings.  How about give us a good explanation of what it is that you believe?  Do you think Bigfoots are demons coming to and from Hell (hince the brimstone)?  Or some other worldy being?  What about the other beings you are talking about that "We" see all the time.  Please elaborate.  I am interested.  I have heard of several of the bigfoot sightings (smellings) and no one ever described it like brimstone, usually like a wet dog, or bad BO.  That isn't what I would describe as sulfur (brimstone) smell.

Many have mentioned the "extinct" animals that were supposed to have died out millions of years ago.  I don't believe any animals died out that long ago.  The Carbon14 dating used to determine age has been proven time and time again to be inaccurate and it bases it's calculations on several assumptions that can not be proven.  I believe the Earth isn't millions of years old as many scientist believe.  I believe it is much younger in the 6-10,000 year range.  For an animal to be "fossilized" it has to be encased in mud.  How do you suppose the dinosaurs and other "extinct" species became fossilized?  They were covered in mud during the flood.  When an animal dies, it doesn't just fall over and become fossilized.  It is usually eaten by other animals and therefore, there is no evidence of it.  The flood explains the fossilized remains of sharks etc inland on mountains etc as they were stranded in mud when the flood waters receded.  They are not millions of years old.  Someone mentioned paintings on cave walls depicting various things such as Bigfoot.  There are also paintings and carvings of dinosaurs, complete ones, not bones of them.  I believe early man lived side by side with dinosaurs or else they wouldn't have known what one really looked like.  I know some ancient astronaut theorist claim that "Aliens" showed them what they looked like, but isn't it more plausible that they actually saw a living one?  The Bible does mention dinosaurs, i.e. the Levithan and the Behemoth.  Many dinosaurs died in the flood, some lived afterward (yes I believe some were on the ark, probably young ones or eggs not full grown ones) and as the environment changed, I believe they died out through normal extinction processes (limited food, change of available food as a result of a different environment after the flood, etc).  We have been taught that the earth is millions of years old our entire lives and most refuse to consider that what we have believed our entire lives might actually be wrong.

On the note of Bigfoot, it could be a relative of Gigantopithicus (spelling) that never died out, just is a very reclusive creature.  As others have said, there are a lot of animals thought to be extinct that we find every year.  Now I won't truely believe it still exist until I see the hard evidence of it.  But as there have been sightings, rumors of sightings all through history and on all continents, there is definitely something that people are seeing.  Now as Swampman says, maybe it is really an extra-dimensional being.  We may never know. 

We can never prove Bigfoot doesn't exist, it is only possible to prove one does.  That is if one is caught or killed.

 I am not sure but if the argument is that you never find a dead one ...well how many dead  bear do you find in the woods.... were I live there are loads of bear . You see bear crossing roads weekly if not daily at times ... I have NEVER just found one in the woods and I am in the woods literally every day . I know they die, I know that they even get hit by cars and run off in the woods to eventually die... still never find dead ones just laying around... That does not mean that they do not exist .
