Bigfoot is REAL!

Many report seeing Bigfoot in Virginia. One man is trying to prove it

MANASSAS — Those who know 46-year-old William Dranginis say he’s a levelheaded guy.

<snip>

But, 10 years ago, Dranginis says he crossed paths with something in the deep, dark woods of Culpeper County.

Snicker if you want, but his life has never been the same.

<snip>


On a logging road, about a half-mile from the pavement, Frank abruptly shot his arms outward in a silent signal to halt.

“Behind that tree,” he whispered. “There’s a man.”

The three stood stock-still, staring at a cluster of slender pines just ahead on the right. Why would a man duck out of sight unless he was up to no good? Frank drew the 9 mm handgun he wore holstered on his side. The other agent produced one as well. Both trained their barrels at the shadows behind the trees.

Suddenly, Dranginis says, a dark, shaggy head peered out at them from behind a pine, then jerked back. Seconds later, he says, a creature like none he’d ever seen darted out and began running, following the edge of the road.

“ It ran for about 75 feet, moving from our left to our right, before it took a sharp turn that took it deeper into the woods,” Dranginis said. “We watched the top of its head bobbing as it disappeared down into a ravine.”

During that 10 or 12 seconds, Dranginis says, he was shocked into a kind of tunnel vision.

“I don’t remember hearing anything, and I can’t tell you what its face looked like,” he said. “I was just stunned by how tall it was, like 7 feet. And it was so quick and agile. It moved on two legs like a man, but so much more powerfully. I remember watching the muscles work as it ran. And the hair flowing, back and forth, every time it pumped its arms.”

The creature was gone, but the men didn’t move.

It's a good episode!
:-)

[Debi]

9. So, what does Boggy Creek I talk about?

:shrug:

[Coventina]

17. I haven't seen it, but I assume it is also about Bigfoot

But they don't call it "bigfoot" just "the creature".

[realisticphish]

7. One of the Interesting Things about The "Bigfoot" Video

is that the upper leg muscles ripple, which wouldn't happen if it were a man wearing a suit.

Not saying it couldn't be faked. Just sayin'.

[Ready4Change]

12. That video has been debunked.

The guy who made it has stepped forward and admitted it. He apparently used a rented gorilla suit.

[On the Road]

14. I Had Heard That Someone Took Credit

but people often claim credit for things they didn't do. You have to look at all the evidence. The movement of the muscles under the fur does not appear to be a party suit. I don't know -- I haven't experimented with it -- but that's the visual impression it creates.

[Debi]

13. I saw a documentary about that video

some scientists saying there's no way it could be faked and then some saying there's no way it could be real (and some guy saying he was the one wearing the suite and walking away). I don't think we'll ever know the truth.

8. Bob George needs to learn a little more about Va.

Bob George, a Portsmouth native and long time Bigfoot researcher, teaches biology at Florida International University in Miami.

“Look,” George said, “when you start talking Virginia, it’s getting to be a little preposterous. I mean, what’s next? New Jersey?”

[Debi]

10. What's wrong w/Bigfoot in NJ?

It's not like it couldn't happen.

[underpants]

11. The New Jersey Devil

I had no idea why their hockey team had that name until I saw a documentary about the New Jersey Devil. It has been seen by many people and IT is able to stay out of sight.

BTW- I officially left the Army at Ft. Dix until the van ride out there I had no idea that there were trees in NJ.

[Coventina]

18. There was an "X-Files" episode about the Jersey Devil

a pretty good one, as I recall.

[leftofthedial]

15. That was just Bill Walton having one on.

7 feet

shaggy

oh wait. He said "run"

not Bill Walton. False alarm.

[datasuspect]

21. he was last seen

chilling with the beastie boys in southern new jersey mining country.

[Debi]

23. He has to fight for his right to

:party:!!
