    My first experience from seeing a Sasquatch from 30' away was that I rationalized it as seeing a giant rabbit. I never told anyone for close to 40 years. I tucked it away and mostly forgot about it. I had 3 other experiences 8 months later. The second one was close up at 2' away and I could no longer deny what I saw.

    Absolutely phenomenal interview gang! You folks have done your diligent homework. Solid and detailed explanation of how the human psyche processes uniquely profound and transformational experiences.
    Unfortunately, skeptics and nonbelievers won’t ever reach this level of intelligent self awareness.
    It’s the simple and quick conclusion to ridicule or question someone’s mental capacity that has had this experience, because that’s the easy route to solve this. It takes effort and an open mind to follow the facts and the science.
    It continues to amaze me, how many that have had a visual encounter, say they wished it never had happened. It changes them and all they’ve been taught to think.
    Precisely why Steve Isdahl has accurately called it The Club Of No Return; you can’t “unsee it” afterwards. Try convincing an individual that has had an encounter that what they saw was just a bear, another person, or their imagination. Truth is stranger than fiction. Just because many can’t accept it, doesn’t mean it’s not real.
    The Forest People are real and out there. Follow the science.
    Major props to Dr. Michael Adam’s for providing his knowledge and expertise to explaining the minds functional reactions to this topic.

    I’m kind of glad to hear someone with a “scientific bent” take this position.
    My interest in Bigfoot is largely “epistemological”, if you will.
    When I began to read about Bigfoot 25 years or so ago, I thought: this is odd. Many people claim to have seen this creature, but others say it cannot be, absolutely out of the question. Lots of experts, especially, explained how Bigfoot couldn’t exist because [genetic reasons, historical reasons, practical, food-foraging reasons, etc]. Others added, not unreasonably, that these days we have so many cameras there should be credible footage (which as far as I’m concerned the Patterson Gimlin film is not), less reasonably that a body should have been found by now.
    And still, people kept seeing them.
    This fascinated me. In fact there are communities in America where such a large number of people have had encounters that nobody really doubts the existence of Bigfoot. It’s almost humdrum to them.
    So these realities exist alongside each other. The “majority reality” in which Bigfoot is laughable, something only very unsophisticated people believe in. And then a minority reality where Bigfoot is a quite straightforward , accepted part of life.
    Incidentally, you find that with a lot of things. For almost all of our scientific history it was taken as axiom that the brain cannot rebuild itself. Yet practitioners such as Feldenkreis routinely had results which can only be explained by plasticity. How many times haven’t you heard stories like “the doctors said I would never walk again, but I did”? The reality of brain plasticity existed in plain sight next to the accepted dogma that the brain does not change (a weird dogma, anyway, when you come to think of it.)
    I wanted to find out if Bigfoot was real, or not. Not by trekking into the woods, if only because I live in the Netherlands and our woods offer ferrets and the odd deer, at most. By reading. It should be possible to find out if something like that is true or not, no?
    But it isn’t. That is to say, I’m convinced by now that Sasquatch is real. I’ve listened to many hundreds of first person narratives, often stretching over an hour, and the large majority were entirely credible people telling clearly genuine stories.
    My highly intelligent friend said that these stories are either lies or cases of mistaken identity. That’s because he’s never listened to them, or not with an open mind. Because clearly this isn’t tenable. Countless stories are sightings by daylight, at short distances, by more than one person, where intimate details of the creature are related. Incompatible with mistaken identity. Just as clearly most of these people are not lying, which we know because many have been hooked up by lie detectors. Although many stories are told with such strong emotion that nobody would need a lie detector to feel their authenticity.
    I think it’s entirely reasonable for scientists to say they’ll only treat Bigfoot as real once they have incontrovertible evidence, such as a body. What’s not reasonable is saying they know it doesn’t exist. Nobody knows anything, to put it succinctly. A scientist especially should realise that.
    I’ve read the excellent book by Brian Sykes. He is that open, scientific, skeptical mind (openness and skepticism should be practically synonymous btw.) I know about Melba Ketchum. Her research is, sadly, not proof. Sykes concludes we have no genetic proof, yet. It’s hard to understand why we don’t. Sykes, too, believes “there is something out there”, as Jane Goodall does, too. But no, the genetic proof isn’t there, yet. Read Sykes’ open, honest book if you doubt it.
    It is odd that we don’t have that genetic proof, yet. And somewhat odd we don’t have a body, though conspiracy theories might actually be correct, here. There really does seem to be an effort from “above” to keep things quiet.
    So many points of contention. The sincere accounts have convinced me. But I can’t blame people who haven’t listened to hundreds of accounts (or thousands) for not believing. I can blame them for “knowing” Bigfoot isn’t real, though, and ridiculing eyewitnesses. Then again, that’s human nature. It’s what we do.

      Very well put. As the saying goes, absence of evidence is not evidence of absence, and scientists should know that better than anyone. Those who dogmatically disbelieve in something are no more logical than those who dogmatically believe in something. Both need to learn that the world is wider than the inside of their skull.

    Another amazing post and you hit it out of the park on this one! Thank you Dr. for your extensive expertise and covering so much ground including reasons that people that have had encounters obsess over bigfoot and that one reason is to validate what they saw. I've said to people that have encounters that you saw it, period but I understand all the reasons people second guess themselves and are in search of answers since encounters don't fit into our reality -- very interesting!

    Dr Adams,thank you so much for this video. As a student of human nature,behavior & experience myself ; I find your discussion fascinating. I've been open to hearing of others' experiences; even before being a freshman & knowing Psychology would be my major.
    I do believe many the personal reports of these beings; even though not having my direct,personal experience. Also , believe my Native People ancestors would not have referred to them so often,& across tribes across N.America.,if there weren't something to it. Thank you again.We anticipate the new' Flash of Beauty' doc. The 1st one is absolutely one our fav.& well done films on the topic. Take care, Mike in TN.

    Great video. I was just sharing with a friend who, like myself, is open to possibility and saw a BF crossing the road years ago in Calif. His comment? 'I'd love to see another one.' Then there's my former client who quietly shared that he and his cousin saw one in Ohio, but has not come out openly because he's a renowned PhD in neuroscience with publications in well known scientific magazines. I myself saw something last summer that I cannot explain and left me unnerved for days, only because I felt I'd slipped into its alternate inter dimensional reality and it might attach to me. In my heart, I know what I saw - not a BF but another cryptid. Wish I could talk to this guy. BTW, I'm still awaiting science to admit that the thylacine, Tasmanian Tiger, is not extinct, based on numerous 'sightings'.

    • @itzakpoelzig330
      @itzakpoelzig330 Před 3 měsíci +1

    I do not have to analyze the person who is telling us about their encounters with these beings, where I listen to their story, to where I go from there, because I seem to know more about the subject than the human telling all of us his story. This gentleman is analyzing the person telling us his story about these forest people, and for me I am not wasting my time on that because I do not have too to know about him, but I just listen to the story, and I know if he knows what he is talking about or not. This guy is never ever going to get to the truth of what we might be dealing with regarding these Sabe' beings. He is way too busy analyzing the storyteller. Good luck following this gentleman!!!!!!
