I have interviewed witnesses who originally reported only a "normal" Bigfoot encounter but, as we talked, became comfortable enough to tell me about their truly bizarre experiences. If I ignored their experiences, those witnesses would never speak to me again. Fear of ridicule seems to drive many Bigfoot researchers, and it's a shame. Instead of sucking up to mainstream science, we should show the witnesses some respect by not tossing out their experiences simply because those events seem too strange. Only wWen we examine the full phenomena -- the full evidence -- can we ever hope to achieve some level of understanding.<BR/><BR/>Lisa A. Shiel<BR/>http://www.bigfootquest.com/Lisa A.

I also believe that the `whole' of fortean experiences certainly extends beyond the few `bricks and mortar' UFO craft seen.<BR/><BR/>To me, it's as if a certain portion of all folks are incapable of `seeing' the possibilities that cosmology theories suggest are possible. Perhaps those grand cosmology ideas are too much for a mind rooted in religion or other dogma.Rick Phillipshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05147795123873989623noreply@blogger.com
