Except when they throw rocks at you or shake your tent to defend their territory. I suppose it’s proof of how intelligent they are that squatches only use the aggressive options when you don’t have a camera or a gun.
Well, sure, but is there something special about Sasquatch, or is this just like the Legend of Boggy Creek, with mountains?
The reason I’m asking is that I have a theory, which of course once I propose it, someone will say - “But what about this?” I want to get my sasquatches all groomed nicely first, yanno?
I think hominid-like creatures are appealing, Yetis, Sasquatch, and the totally improbable Gorilla, except they found that last one. And the Rocky Mountains make it seem more probable that it can survive without being seen. A 7 foot tall chicken in Brooklyn doesn’t have the same kind of appeal.
It’s a glitch in our pattern recognition wetware. It’s the same reason that you not only recognize this as a human face, but you think you know how it’s feeling.
There are also some bugs in terms of projecting expectations into missing gaps in the data, and in terms of faulty long-term data storage mechanisms.
The end result is that every human civilization, at every point in history, believed in large, hairy crypto-hominids. The only common factor is us.
as a human face, but you think you know how it’s feeling.
