So gonna change topic a little and finally link stuff here about one of the best habituation sites & uploaders I know of; Mike Patterson…

Forgive me if I spare the big write-up, kinda unsure how this'll be received here and honestly don't know if it's worth the effort. There's too much to elaborate on.

Many of you may already know him, but I can vouch for Mike personally; been following & exchanging messages/emails with him for years since the beginning. Very humble and honest guy. Never asked or did anything for money. The site is in Ontario, location never revealed, but there's drama to that later. One of the best, and only, detailed vocal recordings since Dan Moore's 1972s "Sierra Sounds".

As if the traditional "Ape" theory wasn't hard enough for most people to accept, Mike's influenced about 80% of what I thought I understood

about the phenomenon since I was a boy. If only it were as simple as hairy monkeys, from a near-extinct race of branched off hominids.

The hundreds of human records, sightings, folklores & myths from every continent in the world, except Antarctica, ought to have informed me

about that much, but it didn't. Confirmation bias and scientific dogma is rampant, the ridicule is widespread, so a paradigm shift is imperative.

We don't know what they are, but the metaphysical aspects of these beings is the most pressing and significant developments we've had

in the online discourse for years. Some are very intelligent, extremely instinctual & stealthy. They understand our intent like many animals do.

They have language. They are people, not monsters or animals. There appears to be many types, across different regions & countries, with

varying degrees of benevolence, say. Unfortunately for empiricists, there is any number of additional paranormal phenomena, beings, entities

that surrounds them, follows them, or preceeds them. It gets immensely complicated real quick, but the catalogue of validating evidence is

astounding, and nothing new for the initiated/ experienced/ well-researched. Certain behaviours or associating manifestations include disembodied

voices, traversing seemingly impossible distances, changing visiblity, moving objects, creating light, and in Mike's case, handling his own camera,

manipulating the shutter, taking distorted pictures, even video, some appearing to be of themselves. Yeah, yeah, I know what you think.

Strangely, either folks in rural Appalachia just have more cameras now, or the sightings are on a big increase in the last decade. Otherwise

the stereotype mockery has died down & old people are more willing to share their encounters. Just like any subject, YouTube is full of bullshit

and quackery, but the community (excl. reddit mostly) has a number of well-established and respected figures that've been sharing and working

off each other's knowledge in an effort to make contact or learn.

There's way too many credible anecdotes, recordings, affidavits, police reports, videos, & too much history, context, correlation, legal & international efforts to get into one post. Some of the legends right now still include Ron Morehead, Al Berry, Christopher Noël, Nathan Reo, Les Stroud, Bob Gymlan (not to be confused with Bob Gimlin), ThinkerThunker, Colorado Bigfoot, etc. Plus a number of people who had unprecedented content & allegations of goatmen, dogmen, federal workers / drones & surveillance in some reservations, whose accounts have been closed or banned. Many traces of amazing stuff I've seen are all gone. Almost a third of originally sourced videos on my archive/ playlist/ saved links are all dead. Here is some related stuff, good for an introduction but not the best out there:

Sorry, newfag here, how do I imbed? Does it matter my formatting?

On the broader narrative, this arches over to many aspects of the paranormal, namely Missing 411, Skinwalker Ranch, D.U.M.B.s, Occultists, Forest Lights, Portals, Poltergeists, Hellier series / Kentucky creatures, Archeology, Suppressed History & Genetics. Thus my rationale for posting here is due to these correlations, theories that Bigfoot is like many other aliens, or a product of alien slavery, inbreeding, experimenting. The theory that they're an evolved form of us, or a purer spiritual accessor, capable of interdimensionality. And more significantly, they're a lot closer to home than our regular aliens favourites. Les Stroud has gone on record and said he's spoken to special forces troops who've admitted their existence, that they reside in the most fresh-water rich, oil-rich, mineral richest areas in the world. Places deep in the forests, ancient ranges, quartz fields, areas of high electromagnetic concentration, or whatever you may call it. But any of these are more accessible than military bases and outer space. Hopefully we don't have to look far to get out & experience the raw super-nature world of these things. There's a shitload I'm leaving out, but damn looks like I already wrote too much.

Had some other quote by a veteran anthropologist re: some less than 2% of all hominid fossils being discovered, but can't bloody find it, so here:

"​It is very probable that the sasquatch population, being composed of animals with a long life span, few offspring, and little culling by predators will display wide physical variations, seen in such reported aspects as facial features, diverse coat colors, and the large variance in foot proportions."

-Wolf Fahrenbach

"I found that the more I studied the subject, even in remote places, the more I got subtle indications that the subject was studying me[…]

I was also trying to be empirical, and scientific, so I wanted not just evidence, indications, I wanted good evidence. Little by little, I think I came to understand that we're never going to get… irrefutable evidence, because it's perhaps not in their best interest to give us that."

-Thom Powell
