i could pull off better hoaxes then these in an afternoon. Hoaxing bigfoot videos is shooting fish in a barrel. If you're a good video editor you don't even need to leave your comfortable desk chair.
Easy to hoax, but not a hoax for those that experience these things out in the middle of nowhere.
I was with a group of friends in Oregon forest 40 miles from civilization when we were shadowed by something fairly loud. Not a one had any doubts.
While it is easy to discount stories and other's experiences, it many times sucks to have the experience yourself. I and maybe 8 other friends had what appeared to be a bigfoot experience. All we saw was what appeared to be an upright log moving through the trees in the dark. Nothing clear as day, but it was something lacking the appearance of an animal silhouette. Not to mention it was fairly loud and followed us around the forest for some time. There seemed to be something like a telepathy function with it, as we could all sense some sort of emotion from it. Driving a good distance away we could sense that emotion being directed at us as if it was aware of exactly where we stopped, while we were also aware of exactly what distance and direction it was.
I find it interesting that the west coast has the dark hair sightings while the east coast has red haired sightings. Distant cousin?

Also had a couple tell me that wolves running towards our position were just a bunch of drunk rednecks. "There is no such thing as wolves in Oregon!" Every time I would howl they would answer, and that would tell me where they were. They were moving fast. I got in the truck and went searching for a bit, when getting back to camp the fire was super huge and they were hiding in the tent. The animals came right up to the abandoned corral that fenced us in, snarling pretty good. I think without that fence my friends would have been toast. Maybe 18 years later and a wolf pack was caught on a ranger outpost camera. So now they admit wolves are in Oregon.
It is easy to be a skeptic about the experiences of others. Much easier than creating hoaxes.
