Oh wow! So excited!! It would be awesome to see them. ^.^ I can pretend I'm there, haha.

Well yes Ryai it could be eather of those 2 things(more likey the 2nd) or you know miss classification. Heck not evey one can tell how big something is just by looking at it ya know so eye witness clames can be WAY off. They might of thougt they saw something HUGE when in fact it was not. No one ever seems to think of that they just go by the lore of "well if i could tell then that must mean every one esle can too!". Some times those things happen its like fishermens tales of how big a fish was and if it was a group of people who saw a "thing" it can just take one person to say something and then every one says it looked like that. Its the same with those spirit guide voices in wow the ones people say say "buy more wow" etc and then if you hear it it's like jibber jaber but when you hear it after someone tells you what they heard it sounds like that.

You should of put that as No. 3.

'Hearing things because someone told you what they heard' is basically 'seeding a reaction', like how if you yawn, someone else will yawn. That sort of seeding is basically Answer #2- that accounts got retold and retold so much that people went in there, saw something and blamo they saw what they were told they'd see, down to the very mark and the tale goes on and on. Again #2- this was also tested for Nessie, some people were brought down to the waters edge. A ways off shore, some flotsom was done up to look a bit off. People saw it- and what everyone reported?

Amigawd I saw Nessie!. Because if I remember right the people either KNEW of Nessie or were told they might see Nessie.

And unfortunately there's also a fact that 5 people can go in and watch a tape, and only one sees the gorilla dancing to the beat [IE invisible gorilla], it's why if accounts are the same down to the very word, they can't possibly be real because no one sees a situation the same as 4 other people. And if there's variation- and a great deal of it on major details, again accounts can be thrown out because it might also be made up.

I'm NOT saying that there AREN'T people mistaking animals and such, I'm just pointing out it's hard to believe people would mistake a bird or a bat for some reptile-mammal or some devil as such the jersey devil is described as.

oh ok sorry for that XD

It's fine- I blame the weed smoking hippies anyways :c

That invisible gorilla has been showing up a lot lately.

I did used to have this theory that big foot was in fact able to become invisble and would only turn visible when it attacked people. :S

I didn't think Bigfoot did a whole lot of attacking .. does it? I mean sometimes, but I didn't think all that much.

eh yeah they don't i did read a silly report of a woman who said she got er "felt down stairs" by one O.o

The invisible Gorilla I mean is an internet fad/meme of obscurity it seems. It's a video.

In the first video, you are told to watch 6 people; 3 in white shirts, 3 in black shirts, each have a ball they are passing. Then you are specifically told to watch only the people in white shirts and count how many times they pass the ball.

A gorilla comes into the vid half way thru- supposedly 50% of the people that watched the video never saw the gorilla. Thus; Invisible Gorilla.

From all the reports I've read, the Bigfoots that live in the southern states are more aggressive than the ones from the north. ie, they kill pets/ give chase more than the northern ones. But I don't think I've read any about Bigfoot attacking a person.

Sorry, Ryai, I didn't mean to mislead. I'm vaguely familiar with the invisible gorilla, but I saw it somewhere recently ...

Oh, yeah! I was thinking of this blog post: Deathtrap Design and the Invisible Gorilla.
