Elder Patten will finally be vindicated by modern science.
Bigfoot is DB Cooper
Think about it
They can never catch Bigfoot, Bigfoot is independently wealthy, and DB is short for Dat Bigfoot
I feel like “X immortal character is really Cain/Lilith” is extremely close to the same trope tier as “main character actually died when X happened and everything after is a dream”.
There's this channel that started as a dark souls lore channel that eventually became a Christian lore channel and they had a vid on bigfoot like this
Wait that sounds hilarious, what's the name of the channel?
Eredin be aware the channel is very weird, I quite liked it's old dark souls vids but I think they got rid of them by now
Yeah pretty sure that guy now considers Dark Souls satanic lmao
As all games are except the GBA bible cartridge
How does Bigfoot the monster truck fit into this?
Thanks to sprawling American car-dependent infrastructure, not even Bigfoot can walk to places anymore.
Do monster trucks have stories and lore like pro wrestling? Like does Grave Digger beef with Bigfoot?
Are there face and heel monster trucks? Inquiring minds want to know!
I think some Gangrel somewhere is about to get a stern talking to about the masquerade.
scp lore
bigfoot is dracula?
No because in Supernatural, Sam is affectionally called Sasquatch by Dean, who bore the Mark of Cain.
Dean cain?!?
I like aliens (if you hadn't gleamed that from my bio and profile pic) and I often run into bigfoot people when I root around online in ufo discussions. It's pretty common for people to have out there views on the creature like this. I'm on the fence if it's real or not, unlike aliens/ufos which have a lot of documented evidence behind them, most of the bigfoot phenomenon is hearsay and people faking it.
Prob just a fucked up grizzly walking around
Post hibernation bears are very skinny and bedraggled, seeing one walking on its hind legs as bears sometimes do, you’d think Bigfoot.
The grizz is walking upright now, we're fucked.
Give them jobs, crush their spirits
lol
Hey aliens are serious business and not a laughing matter.
Is Anna's boyfriend doing his styn on the forest.
Bigfoot is actually the wandering jew.
There's two camps when it comes to biggie: the woo woo it's a mystical creature from the bible camp and the it's a cryptid we need to hunt and study for science camp.
and the objectively correct "we can't prove a negative but there's no credible evidence and no reasonable way for a breeding population of unknown hominids to be around and undetected"
My favorite theory is that bigfoot is a sort of forest spirit that keeps an eye out for people who are kind to nature, and shares his weed with them
New? This goes all the way back to one of the earliest "accounts" which is a misconstruing of an early Mormon writing about how he met Cain. Mormons until a decade ago officially held that black people are descended from Cain, and part of that ties into this early story about one of their founders meeting Cain who is effectively a Bigfoot.
Great paper on this that I read a few years ago https://www.jstor.org/stable/23289895?read-now=1&seq=1#page_scan_tab_contents it is actually a really interesting part of how sasquatch lore interweaves with other aspects of american myth-making and of course racism
The conflation of these two legends is a study in the transformation of Mormon culture as reflected in its folklore. Its simplest lesson is that skepticism about the veracity of such tales can be interpreted as declining belief in physical manifestations of supernatural evil. However, the content of Cain stories reflects more subtle changes. The reidentification of Cain as Bigfoot demonstrates how Cain has come to be identified with the mainstream legendary figure; in the process, he is stripped of his spiritual status as an intelligent, malevolent agent of supernatural evil, a presence accepted, and even expected, in nineteenth-century Mormon life. Further, this dehumanization of Cain reflects the weakening grip of the "curse of Cain" folk doctrine that associated him with the stigmatized African race. In these ways the uncoupling of Cain and the demonic is indicative of a larger process of cultural assimilation and transformation
"Yeah I'm an amateur cryptotheozoologist"
Big(foot) if true.
