Have just seen this clip:
Anyone else a “believer” in this kind of phenomena?
I happen to be, as I reckon there are things still to be discovered on this planet. I mean, only as recently as 1976, a new species of shark was discovered, by accident, by a US Navy vessel out in the Pacific. This shark, nicknamed Megamouth, was FOURTEEN FEET LONG – not some tiny, six-inch animal way down in the depths!
Makes you wonder what else is out there, waiting to be discovered. The yeti, maybe? After all, there’s tons of evidence out there to suggest they exist, yet we’ve never found one. And we know for certain that snow leopards exist, but they’re rarely sighted in the wild….

I’m not so sure on that. There’s a distinct instance where a “breath” is seen being taken.
Now, I have seen seals in the wild, and dolphins/orcas in captivity, and the movement seen in the clip is nothing like those…

There must be loads of undiscovered species in the vastness of the oceans – it’s only recently that scientists managed to film a living giant squid.
And when it comes to Nessie, I’m a sceptic on dry land, but any time I’ve scuba-dived in Loch Ness it’s a different story!
As for Bigfoot, the Minnesota Iceman story has an eerie ring of truth about it.
But that video to me looks like the same phenomena as observed in Loch Ness, when two different wakes interfere with one another, causing a moving series of waves…

I’m a sucker for these mysteries although the passing years have eroded my naive belief in the existence of flying saucers, aliens, ghosts, etc etc; my knowledge of which having been almost entirely derived from those cheap sensationalist paperback books produced in the 1950s and 60s.
On the subject of cryptozoology, if I were asked to place various creatures on a “probability scale” of 1 – 10, I would go for something like:
Thylacine 9, Orang Pendek 3, Nessie, Chupracabra etc 0.
Bigfoot/Sasquatch remains an enduring mystery to me. Easy to dismiss on a whole range of factors – no bodies or even bones, no (accepted) hair samples/dna type evidence, no clear photographic or video evidence. But, spend an hour or two on the BFRO website, reading some of the thousands of submitted reports and you end up concluding (well I do) that all those witnesses can’t be fantasists, attention seekers or liars, etc.
Or am I still that rather easily thrilled, naive kid at heart who still gets a chill reading about hairy, scary monsters in the woods?
One thing is for sure, they’ll still be debating these things long after I’ve gone!

This is one of the best and unsolved “mysteries” and it just keeps going on and on…..:rolleyes:
