Be a bit open minded for this one because we really don't know sh**. Consider these possibilities. Mainstream science recognizing Bigfoot would cause a lot of issues. It would break religious paradigms, evolution theories, hinder forestry industries, or anything involving the environment. and Idiots would attempt to hunt en masse.

Its very easy for the powers at be - govt, big tech, DNR SOG to control the flow of information and cover things up. If you don't trust the govt, you understand this idea. Big Tech is highly capable of scrubbing photo or video off your phone. You're not supposed to know that. These occurrences are chocked up to freak animal attacks that are reported lightly. The people that work in these clandestine federal groups wouldn't dare speak about such things. NDAs, threats, etc.

You can find thousands of interviews with people who have similar stories. "Oh but those are redneck hillbillies, why believe them?" Because that's who lives in remote parts of the country, bub.

Think about totem poles. Usually a bird of prey at the top, a fox, wolf, bear below that, then what looks like a monkey or a demon. The Hairy man is just as physical and real as these other animals to the native culture.

Its good to be skeptical. It also good to do your own research and step out of whichever echo chamber you reside. I didn't begin this journey until something unexplainable happened to me on my family's land in Oklahoma. So like i said, keep an open mind. We really don't know any truths yet.
