Missing persons.

Out of all the people that go missing in the bush, how many would you say fall prey to our hairy friend?

Was just watching the news and saw a report on a dead body found in the forest near Enoggera Barracks, and it just made me think.

Alex, thats something I have wondered about myself. I wonder about the people that 'suposedly' walk off into the wilderness. Why would you do that? If you were going to kill yourself, there are a lot easier and less uncomfortable ways to do it!

It could be a good explanation to us but not to 99.9% of people who dont believe. We would be easy prey for them.Im more worried about losing them to the fires up in the Blue Mountains pretty bad up there.

Rob, I think this summer will be a bad one for many unfortunate spieces....us included!

In a way it could be a good thing too, you know. Fire is bad 'n stuff, but what better thing to drive them out of the forest? A huge fire! I predict an increase in sightings these coming months.

hahah i was contemplating starting a thread on this very topic.

In our english unit at school were learning about australian bush culutre and whatnot, and we learnt that 3000 people go missing in the Australian Bush every year (i think this is also mentioned in priscilla queen of the desert). It seems pretty likely that out of these 3000 people at least some would be preyed upon by yowies.

I spoke to one of the heads of Missing Persons back in 2001. Although I didn't lead him to believe so, he thought I was in the force to begin with and gave away certain information including the fact that the majority of 'unfound' missing people were bush related.

Also, a quote from a Police Sgt. in the Blue Mountains while inquiring about a grizzly bush related death that included dismemberment - "The boys back at the Station believe this one is Yowie related, but I'm not too sure......"

He also gave away other info regarding the Yowie and where they reside.

I have little doubt that the Yowie is responsible for 'some' bush deaths, how many I don't know.

Personally, I don't think they'd be preyed upon most of the time. I'm not an anthropologist, so I don't know the intricate dealings in regards to cryptid behaviour, but I wouldn't think they'd actively hunt humans as such. If they did, we'd all be dead

If they did fall prey to a yowie, I'd think it'd be more they went somewhere they shouldn't have & got taught a lesson.

The best thing about Yowies teaching you a lesson is once you've learnt it you'll never ever forget it anytime soon.

Also, good to see another local around here

Alex,

Their personalities vary as much as Humans - Scared, bored, passive, curious, playful, testing and aggressive...

I can go deeper. My main passion is getting into their heads and ponder on their actions. Have done so for years. Far larger picture when you do this.

Not just hearing or reading a report, but analysing properly.

Really? This brings up the question: would you say they were strictly animals in an ape kind of way, or more leaning towards the human range of thought/feeling/action?

You would definitely have to say they display some human characteristics, therefore cannot be always thinking like animals.

I would think they display all the basic instincts of animals like hunting and sensing danger that humans aren't entirely in tune with, but could think and react to certain situations in the way that a human would. Where is the line but? Are they 90% human? Are they 50-50?

I've heard stories about them displaying animal qualities like getting caught in fences or attacking cars, something you would expect a threatened animal to do.

In other instances they've been known to out-think humans, so how 'animal' could they be?

You know, its funny we should be talking about this right now, because of this.

Long story short, the Patternson/Gimlin footage is of a "human". Not a guy in a suit. A hairy-arse human. http://www.cryptomundo.com/cryptozoo-ne ... t-mkhuman/

I used to work SAR (Search & Rescue) with the Alberta Provincial Government. There are several missing person investigation casefiles that I have studied that make me believe a Sasquatch may have been involved.

-There was one incident in northern Alberta that involved a hunting cabin with its front door torn (literally) off of the hinges & thrown 20 meters into the bush. Several empty high-powered rifle (.270 Savage) cartridges were found on the floor inside the cabin. There was no blood found inside or outside of the cabin. The rifle was found in a shallow stream about a half kilometer away from the cabin. The man who was staying in the cabin was never heard from again. There were no claw marks or rope/cable striations found on the cabin door, cancelling out the possibility of it being torn off by a bear or pulled off using a vehicle.

-I was on the SAR operation.

A small plane went down in northwest Alberta after experiencing engine trouble, there were three [3] people inside of the craft. Two [2] stayed at the crash site, while one decided to walk out to find a road or some other sign of civilization. Twelve [12] hours later, the two [2] at the crash site were rescued. We then began our search for the third person. His course through the woods was fairly easy to find for about four [4] kilometers, then it came to a sudden stop. It was almost as if he had sprouted wings and flown off, we could not find a single trace of him after that four [4] kilometer mark. There was no sign of a stuggle, no sign that he had run into some sort of trouble. He was just gone. The man was in good shape & was considered to be experienced in woodslore, someone who could take care of himself in the wilderness. We completed a twenty [20] kilometer grid search, ground and air. We didn't find a single trace to mark his passage past the above mentioned distance mark. We also checked all of the small "hidden" areas, he was not found there either. Could it be possible that he had a run-in with an aggressive Sasquatch? The creature killing him or rendering him unconcsious, then carrying him off? If you know, tell me. We couldn't figure it out. The final judgement on this case was ruled "Death by Misadventure".

There are a few more I can relate, but it will have to wait for another day. It's 4:00am here, and i had best get to bed.
