In the past things that are well understood now were once considered paranormal. Eclipses and lightening were thought to be divine and supernatural in nature. But now, through science, we understand them. What was once paranormal is now considered part of the natural world.
As for myself, im not necessarily opposed to the paranormal as I've had more than a few experiences I'd chalk up as currently paranormal. But i also believe my experiences will one day be figured out by science. I also know a few brilliant physicists who share the same thoughts and have open minds about the paranormal. They too ponder scientific hypothesis that could eventually lead to theories or answers as to what certain paranormal may actually be.
I myself have a hypothesis proposing the human brain can indeed preceive, utilise and interact in a limited manner with quantum processes by combining Penrose and hammeroffs quantum consciousness theories on nanotubes in the brain , quantum fluctuations of electromagnetic vacua, phased coding of optic nerve pathways signals and holographic bragg conditions in the visual cortex to explain certain paranormal phenomena such as telepathy and even remote viewing or psychic cognition.
As most can figure out by now, i dont subscribe to bigfoot being supernatural. And i do think things like track castings, recorded vocalizations and even blurry photos lend more weight tipping the scales more towards natural than paranormal, which in my opinion has far less evidence thats mostly limited to anecdotes.
I think bigfoot is natural. And, on AYH I've presented previously mechanisms where infrasound can interfere with the visual cortex and cause a visual blind spot at what youre directly looking at making things seemingly disappear. That in itself doesnt explain things like tracks that disappear, but maybe a skilled tracker would see something most people dont when examining those same tracks. People skilled in bushcraft have been known to posses skillsets that make tracks suddenly very difficult to follow where the trail appears to suddenly dead-end. Why cant bigfoot?
I also think that paranormal anecdotes can be a valuable tool in explaining unknown or poorly understood yowie, sasquatch behavior and phenomena. If youre describing something very strange theres always a chance that the collected observations may dovetail with understood but little known science and lead to a breakthrough or eureka moment. So paranormal forums are important and useful in their own way.
What i dont understand is writing something off because it befuddles you as simply supernatural and never to be truly understood. If thats ones belief, then i struggle with the logic behind even trying to research it. I mean what then is the point of studying the paranormal if youre intent is to just dismiss it as unfathomable in the end.
As for never being able to see "eye to eye" and thus the two should never interact. I disagree with that too and i cite my interactions with AYH member Searcher as a good example. We both have mostly opposing viewpoints in the ufo section and yet we both get along and can co-inhabit the same forum discussing the topic at hand. We dont denigrate each other and the end result is lively debate. Its called having a conversation.
In the end i suppose theres a difference between "seeing eye to eye" and simply refusing to look the other in the eye.

Agree with you 100% Johnny and perish the thought I'm going to bring religion in here. There are continual wars going on in the heavens between the forces of good and evil they are all around us but we can't see them. Satan himself is the Prince of the Air. This is a belief held by all religions. Please no atheist replies.

You clearly misrepresented bassplyr's comments in your statement "and all because bassplyr did not agree with him". bassplyr cited no personal field experience, however he did make up a litany of his own facts in order to support his own position that no paranormal evidence has ever been found or released by anyone in the U.S. Government, while supposedly viewing from a location 4000 miles away. A trait that I have only seen by Disinformation Agents of the Central Intelligence Agency in the U.S. So you grossly misrepresented bassplyr tactics in order to slander me. Bassplyr'a knowledge of physics is all smoke and mirrors and is a copy and paste method used by Disinformation Agents with the CIA. The site that I quoted of acquaintances who wrote obituaries for Stephen Hawking, proved that bassplyr was lying. Yet your short memory conveniently forgets this detail. People who support Disinformation Agents, are often Disinformation Agents themselves. Johnny's recollection of Michio Kaku's conversation also refuted bassplyr's made up facts that you claim to be "a very high level (of knowledge). I noted the names of witnesses whose knowledge was based on the Lawrence Livermore Bigfoot Captivity study. Knowledge that could not have been known in the 60's, but for a captivity study somewhere. Incidently, since that LLNL Bigfoot Captivity study is still top secret and you are seeking to discredit me based on a lack of a large number of Federal Employees who are receiving retirement checks, not spilling their guts, that implies again that you are another Disinformation Agent, since it appears to bother the hell out of you that it has been mentioned here. You can poke around the retirement homes of Livermore California and turn up some ex-LLNL employees who heard about, so why don't you do that or pay for it. Of course you won't do either because your vested interest is exactly opposite to that event being verified. And then you would be fired from your Disinformation job for someone.Searcher wrote: Mon Jan 13, 2020 12:53 pm Shazz wrote:Agreed.

This thread is an initiative by Rusty and is all about “fixing the problems between opinions”. It won’t be mended by constant accusations of lying, abuse and personal attacks.
It is clear bassplyr’s knowledge of real world physics is at a very high level while all of Neal’s unproven assumptions of captured Bigfoot at Lawrence Livermore, etc, are offered without a shred of evidence.
If it is true, how about some eyewitness testimonies? Take Roswell for example. The government wanted to keep it a secret, but a large number of people have since come forward and gone on record, many under oath, to state they were involved in some way with the crashed craft.
Agreed. Spend time out in the bush, the bigfoot know more about you then you do yourself. Eventually they will want to show you the capabilities they have, including getting up close to touch people. i had a large open hand firmly on my lower back, the hand wasnt there to grab and pull me, if anything it was a firm squeeze. It was obviously walking next to me on my right and put its hand on me. I took this as it wanted to show me it was there, even though i couldnt see it. It showed me it could come up at anytime even with me surrounded by people. It wasnt the only touch i had.themanfromglad wrote: Tue Jan 14, 2020 4:10 am The best way to fix the problems between opinions, is to get a lot of field experience. I have been within 10 of invisible Bigfoot on hundreds of occasions, and one that put his hand on my shoulder. Once you get real world field experience, theoretical hypothesis go out the window.

I agree, Rusty there will always be an issue between the two groups, however I don't think we know enough to eliminate one or the other. I propose another possibility - could they not be both "flesh and blood" and "paranormal" - e.g., paranormal abilities. Ghost/religion aside (and I am not eliminating these possibilities), all the reports suggest that they have huge abilities above an beyond our traditional thinking. For example, if you look at any of the definitions associated with paranormal (re below) you could say anything unexplained could be deemed paranormal. Therefore, having abilities that we cannot comprehend or understand (not the norm as we see it) they are paranormal. They may be flesh and blood. I think we don't know enough to eliminate anything at the moment.Rusty2 wrote: Fri Dec 20, 2019 8:19 am Obviously everyone has an opinion , we all know that .
As seen in the recent post in the Yowie/Bigfoot Discussion Board there is obviously a problem between the F&B camp and the Paranormal camp .
As a group of people interested in the same subject , can anyone offer a fair solution to both groups without banning anyone ?
Let's keep it civil please ! Any suggestions ?
Sorry Glad, im with you on the paranormal but that is just to funny. Nearly choked on my coffee reading that. I have never once thought in my mind i could ever get raped, anyhow they would split 1 in half with there big donga. I think the women would more likely to get raped by a neighbour over bigfoot, surely they would be idiots thinking that.( even though they are human like hmmmmmmm)themanfromglad wrote: Tue Jan 14, 2020 5:32 pm A Bigfoot/Yowie that comes fully into man's dimension, is still paranormal because they are interdimensional. It is impossible for them to be continuously flesh and blood because they would wipe out the local fauna in pursuit of consuming 8000 calories per day. In the winter time, they don't have enough hair on their bodies, to keep them warm in below freezing temperatures. Hair is not the same as the standard double layer of fur, that exists with most forest animals. Their paranormal existence is top secret because of women, especially older women who are paranoid about getting raped by an invisible Bigfoot/Yowie. If the government announced that Bigfoot can be invisible, millions of people would overload the health care system in seeking a shrink, who are not qualified to walk someone through their belief in a paranormal Bigfoot/Yowie.

Undoubtedly a portion of sightings are 'man-made' in the form of 'thought-forms' as you suggest Black. Just take a gander in any facebook group dedicated to BF research and you will see any number of red circles in photos (many without even the circles)... all claiming to show 'clearly' bigfoot faces, etc.Black wrote: Tue Jan 14, 2020 3:50 pm https://mysteriousuniverse.org/2018/04/ ... ught-form/
If only it were as clean and simple as it sounds. Paranormal vs flesh and blood. But what if a portion of bigfoot / yowie sightings, are man-made? What if they are thought forms or tulpas?
Check out the link above.
This meme isn't quite right. We don't see 1 percent of the visible light spectrum. The visible light spectrum that we do see, is less than 1 percent of the total spectrum of light. The visible light that we do see, is limited in being able to see a fraction of the electromagnetic spectrum which satisfatorily enables us to see the physical world quite adequately. It's about 400 to 700 nanometers.
You are absolutely correct and I wish I could say that this was a test of some sorts to see who was paying attention.. but the reality is that I missed that 1% "visible light" reference when I was sent it. Well, if anyone needed proof that I was an erring human, the veil has been pulled back now... LOLBlack wrote: Thu Jan 16, 2020 4:26 pmThis meme isn't quite right.

If it makes you feel better I will contact one of my sisters-in-law (my niece is only 30-something so I don't think she will qualify as an 'elder').Black wrote: Tue Jan 21, 2020 9:40 pm
Wolf, are you going to find yourself an Aboriginal elder to look over your latest masterpiece, for any feedback?
bassplyr you should realise by now that indigenous folk have to be consulted and exalted especially by the hand wringing, bleeding heart whites and I think I can speak here as my great grandmother was aboriginal.bassplyr wrote: Thu Jan 23, 2020 3:11 pm How do aboriginals have a monopoly on a phenomenon reported across the globe?
The poor fellow who ironically accuses me of cultural appropriation yet goes by the user name 'Black' seems to think I need 'permission' to write fiction about Australia's recent historical past if aboriginals are involved...

So really shouldn't wolf be getting permission from the Aboriginal elders, native american elders and writing letters to the chinese consulate asking permission to talk about bigfoot?
Ah no... I draw the line at seances. Such a lot of bother to go through to write fiction. I'm giving up right now, sorry for wasting everybody's time.bassplyr wrote: Fri Jan 24, 2020 10:34 am Personally i think Aboriginals, native Americans nor the chinese care what we think, say or do about bigfoot. Maybe the ghost of Stephen Hawkings cares though. Wolf have you put in any thought to conducting a seance to contact the ghost of stephen hawkings and ask for his personal permission to write fiction stories about bigfoot.
