The Two Big Questions
 
 
There exists two severely important questions
 – 
which we hope to address in detail here
 – 
that continue to plague investigators,Cryptozoologists, and other researchers who are attempting to explain and find the final evidence that will prove, once and for all, theexistence of Bigfoot, Sasquatch, Skunk Apes, Yeti, Yowies, Almas, Kaptars, Mapinguari, and their kind world over. For the Bigfootresearcher who goes into the field (specifically here in the U.S.), and has learned the habits and idiosyncrasies of Bigfoot, collected eye
-
witness testimonies, hair, feces, and other field samples, made numerous footprint casts, and even spotted Bigfoot themselves, there is littleor no doubt left of their obvious existence; but to the skeptic who ridicules the
evidence
and does not do any serious field work or researchwhich would support or falsify that work scientifically, the same two questions are thrown into the face of those who seriously want toexpose an irrefutable answer concerning the elusive Bigfoot:
Where are the bodies or bones? 
And…
Why do they seem to vanish into thin air before they can be caught? 
 It is my intent to not only discuss some of the reasons why, but also to propose a challenge, along withproviding a test that researchers can do in the field when Bigfoot makes his
disappearance.
 
Even though there are historical, folkloric, and oral traditional tales existent throughout the nations of the earth, we are still faced with thefact that, to date,
not a single one of these giant hairy creatures has been caught alive 
to be observed, studied, and documented by theexperts, and
no remains have been found 
for examination in the laboratory. Truly, these curiosities nag those of us who remain asquestioning Bigfoot researchers, but more from the desire within to know and understand, than because of anything the skeptics (and/or"armchair scientists") would say. Hoaxers and outright liars only compound the problems we face. In order to begin finding the answers wemust understand the questions, and the creatures that incite them within our minds. We must look at the evidence with an open mind andtake ALL the evidence into account, and not just the parts that are acceptable to our own belief systems. To understand where the bodiesof Bigfoot and his kind go during or after death, and how they seem to amazingly evaporate from any hold we could possibly put on themwhile alive may be the key to finding them.There is evidence, according to worldwide eyewitness testimonies that this creature, although with the appearance of a half
-
human, half
-
ape
-
like face, might be completely different than either humans or apes in not only environment, but also physiology, diet, thinking abilities, andother talents. It is very possible that the reason the best hunters have yet to tow in a Bigfoot body is because Bigfoot are acutely moreaware, and more keen, than we previously thought. Perhaps we underestimate these gentle giants immensely. For answers to theseproblems we will look not only to testimonies for clues, but also to evidence in the field that might help explain some of the strangecamouflaging and apparent invisibility/transparency abilities that these musky
-
smelling hominoids appear to be utilizing.
 
Please notice, as you read further, that these accounts are varied but all have a few things in common…. Either bad smells associated/notassociated with Bigfoot camouflage, unexplainable disappearances, or and outright vanishing in front of the witness(es) by different means.Please also note that the majority of sightings are typically in forested or mountainous areas, near waterways of some kind, and usually onor near fault line areas and/or volcanic/granitic areas. We will go into why this is so, later on. Also realize that even though I recognize thata good majority of
vanishing Bigfoot
just simply run off into the trees, it is the more unusual accounts of them
unexplainably vanishing 
that Iam addressing here. Because any good Bigfoot data starts with those who see them, we begin with eyewitness testimonies. But for therecord, up front, I am not yet convinced of Bigfoot being a UFO
-
occupant placed here on earth (some indications could show mimicryhowever, but that is another subject for another paper).
BIGFOOT EYEWITNESS TESTIMONIES
Early American Legends (BFRO – Bigfoot Field Researchers Organization)
Quote:
"This story, I found out later, was based on the Blackwood one... but I suspect Blackwood based his on the Northern U.S./Canadianlegends of the Wendigo. The story goes like this: there were these two guys that went canoeing, and they came to a place where they hadto portage (carry their canoes overland). They walked through the woods until night fell, and they set up camp. Well, one of the guys wokeup in the middle of the night to answer the call of nature, and he saw that the side of the tent was bowed inward, as if someone was leaningon it. But, his buddy was sleeping right next to him. He reached up to touch the tent wall, and it was ice cold. He was so scared, he just laythere until morning, not sleeping. When day came, the thing outside the tent was gone. So, the two guys packed up their gear, and got theircanoe, and headed off again. They walked all day, and when the sun was setting, they came upon an old Indian man, holding a human skulland shaking beads in it. He said to him: "You can't stay here, this is Wendigo territory. Get through it as quickly as you can." Of course,being Stupid White Guys ;) they laughed at him, and kept walking. Well, the sun went down, and all of a sudden, somewhere behind them inthe woods, they heard this horrible scream. It could only have been the old Indian. They looked at each other, kinda freaked out, and theystarted walking a little quicker. And then, behind them, they heard this huge, crashing noise like a runaway bulldozer coming through thewoods. They looked around, and there was nothing there, but the trees were splintering and crashing down in the path of something horribleand invisible. Well, they dropped their canoe and all their gear and they just ran like hell, and kept running until they dropped from sheerexhaustion. And the thing behind them came howling up
--
and stopped and crashed around for a while in frustration, but it couldn't get thembecause they had reached the far edge of its territory".

12 years ago in late Nov. I was on a deer lease in Red River County. I was sitting on a stool andobserved deer scrapes on trees along a creek bed. I was watching for these deer to approach. After I had been sitting there for an hour or soI turned my head and noticed what looked like an 8 or 9
