About Craig Woolheater
Co-founder of Cryptomundo in 2005.
I have appeared in or contributed to the following TV programs, documentaries and films:
OLN's Mysterious Encounters: "Caddo Critter", Southern Fried Bigfoot, Travel Channel's Weird Travels: "Bigfoot", History Channel's MonsterQuest: "Swamp Stalker", The Wild Man of the Navidad, Destination America's Monsters and Mysteries in America: Texas Terror - Lake Worth Monster, Animal Planet's Finding Bigfoot: Return to Boggy Creek and Beast of the Bayou.
I find myself growing increasingly skeptical of bigfoot. A few years back with the discovery of dermal ridges that were unlike any known primate I thought greatly decreased the likelihood of faked tracks. And there is always the Patterson/Gimlin footage. Now however so many years down the road and with all the advances in DNA as well as the explosion of trail cameras for there not to be anything forthcoming, I simply find myself increasingly skeptical that there is anything there at all.
Not too shabby for this sort of thing. Will watch the second installment and hope for the best. 🙂
Part 2 is published here on Cryptomundo.
Oggar:
That there isn’t proof yet hasn’t decreased the validity of the pieces of evidence you mention, right? How else would you explain them?
Folks who just say “obviously fake” don’t have any idea how hard that would be to do. Anyone who knows the breadth and depth of the evidence knows that passing it off to any single human-generated cause – let alone a random concatenation of them – is less likely, from a purely logical standpoint, than the animal is.
It comes down to this. Mainstream science isn’t involved. If they were, we’d know by now. But they’re not. Until they are, forget it.
And read this.
Other than the Patterson/Gimlin outing, that’s the only bigfoot expedition in history.
This is what we have to get over, this idea that people seeing something or three-day outings in the woods mean proof. No they don’t. Until scientists make a long-term commitment to remain in the field, forget proof.
But meanwhile the evidence keeps coming in.
