I dont think they are normal flesh and blood animals...I dont have a name for it, but there is some 'strange' aspect to them, (supernatural, paranormal, other...?) something along those lines....the normal rules do not apply.

And when the Great Randi offered $1,000,000 to anybody that could prove the supernatural or paranormal he kept his money in his own pocket! You are again speculating without evidence.

Nobody got the cash because all of this stuff is very obviously fake/make believe. It does make for a great hobby/fantasy world to relax and have fun in as long as it is not taken too seriously. I recently watched a great documentary that explained that it can take up to 3 years of counseling to get a believer in the stuff in this section to no longer consider fantasy reality.

So, what EXACTLY was 'this stuff'? People have different personalities and therapists have different levels of skill. This is such a sweeping statement that it is pretty useless really.

I think you can place religion in the same basket when it comes to believers, but you might get lynched if you carry on the same as this with that topic.

You do nothing else but stand at the touchline and shout 'Foul". If you actually bothered to engage in discussion or debunk evidence yourself, then you might have more to shout about, but as it is, every one of your posts is the same as others of your ilk. Almost as if you all come from the same training academy...Hmm - Maybe you do?

The Small Randi made up his own rules and did not want to cough up 1 million. Thats all. There were no proper scientific protocols in place. He was full of hot air and as bad as the believers he was trying to debunk.

I will answer in order.

By "stuff" I mean cryptids, psychics, every paranormal explanation for ancient buildings, the list goes on and on. The statement on time was exactly what the PBS Documentary stated. Yes time varies by both the professional and patient. How is it completely useless? If you want I can look up and get the exact name of the program. It was on PBS who are known for doing real documentaries. It is not like I am using the fake History Channel "reality Shows" as my reference.

100% agree with religion but we are not in that section.

I have engaged with facts many times but it is completely useless because anything that does not confirm this "stuff" is ignored. In the building thread you had several links to videos on how large objects are moved and you completely ignored them because they didn't fit your self admitted silly paranormal explanation. I don't come from any training academy but maybe you do.

Actually The Great Randi put scientific protocols in place. That is why none of the frauds could pull their scams on him.

Now for when you ask why I even post in this section. I used to believe in all this "stuff". I no longer do but still find the subjects interesting just for different reasons.

BFRO rates sightings with a class system, A thru C...


Class A reports are when an actual creature is seen
Class B reports are when the person only experiences rock throwing, wood knocks, etc (doesnt actually see anything.) but behavior that is associated with Sasquatches.



Class C reports Im not sure on the criteria

Because the odds of getting a bigfoot video is as good as video of a unicorn or elf.
