Nope. And no one else has either.

Do mosquito repellent ejaculating traffic airliners count?

I can still edit this answer and cut/paste this to my previous :-)

I’ve met someone that said that the contrails we were looking at was mosquito repellent.
We had mosquitoes there, true, but I can’t take him serious any longer (because, played or dead serious, he was adamant).

No, I haven’t seen any of those that @lucillelucillelucille mentioned.

But that doesn’t mean that they don’t (or can’t) exist.

lucillelucillelucille's avatar

@elbanditoroso – I haven’t either but I can’t say they don’t exist.

I believe. I do, I do!

I have 2 friends who swear that they have had up close & personal encounters with Big Foot. I haven’t had one myself; however, I can’t prove that either of them didn’t. The one guy’s story doesn’t seem to hold water in my opinion. The 2nd guy believes it so wholeheartedly that I believe that he believes.

I’m one of those people who keeps an open mind UNTIL proven wrong. I just hope I live long enough to learn the TRUTH!!!

@LadyMarissa – My friend was living in Alaska and swore he saw a Sasquatch walking towards a dumpster.
At first he thought it was a bear, then realized it wasn’t.
The locals called them “The Hairy Man”
I don’t know why I am thinking about this today

@rebbel That’s a Hobbit foot

At an Exhibition Fair a man had on display a real frozen “Big Foot/Sasquatch” that he hunted down and shot and kept in his freezer outdoors until he could bring it to the public.

I had doubts, but upon viewing it close up..wow real!

It looked like a extremely huge man with hair growth the length of what a Grizzly bear has.

The indigenous people believe and have seen this phenomenon for centuries as my older brother who surveyed the wild bush lands up north in Canada.
There probably a lot of species that are still unknown and when clearing the land it becomes evident.

We find evidence of dinosaurs from millions of years ago, but we can’t find a single hair from a giant assed monster human that lives today? Not likely.

Some country just lends itself to scary creatures. The Pacific Northwest and the Cascade mountain range are like that, especially early in the morning when it’s foggy and dewey, and you can barely see through the dripping trees.

But no. I have never met anyone who claimed to see any mythological creature, with the exception of religious “miracles.” And those I easily explained and then they were mad at me.

@Dutchess_III
Imagine if the Neanderthal man evolved into the Sasquatch?
Either that or it just a deformity?
Example: leprosy?

I saw on a story about an report on Nessie and the results were that it is a large eel.

I had a very good friend who grew up on the shores of Loch Ness. He told me he was the only member of his family not to have seen the creature. I believe that he was telling the truth.

When I was a teenager, a friend and I were fascinated by Bigfoot. We read every book printed on the matter. I have never seen one nor met anyone who had, but if even one person is telling the truth, it’s true.

lucillelucillelucille's avatar

@Hawaii_Jake -I was in line at the library with a book on Bigfoot and the woman behind me said her husband saw what looked like a man in the middle of the road. As he approached, it ran off into the brush.
I find the stories interesting and I’m reasonably sure that man has not discovered every species out there.

lucillelucillelucille's avatar

This was interesting as well.

Call_Me_Jay's avatar

I have seen something that looked like a hovering aircraft with a bright searchlight turning to and fro. It was on a moonless night and nothing else was visible, until it got close enough to see it was a push boat with a light high atop the deckhouse, taking a barge down the Intracoastal canal

If I did not know better, and had left before the boat got close, I would still think it was a UFO.

lucillelucillelucille's avatar

@Call_Me_Jay -I can see how that might be mistaken for something else.

ragingloli's avatar

Creatures like Bigfoot absolutely exist

Well, we have Neandertal genes in our DNA @Inspired_2write. ”Interbreeding. Neanderthals have contributed approximately 1–4% of the genomes of non-African modern humans, although a modern human who lived about 40,000 years ago has been found to have between 6–9% Neanderthal DNA (Fu et al 2015).” (Non-African because Neandertal lived in what is now called France.) Source

If it was a simple deformity, he’d be so long gone by now. You certainly wouldn’t have multiple sightings of one individual with identical deformities all over the world.

Loc Ness has been proven over and over to be a hoax, or a misidentification of mundane things.

Now I have seen a UFO. It was a UFO because it was flying and I couldn’t identify it. It was wild. I was with my girlfriend and we were heading out to go clubbing. We were stopped at a train crossing, when this round object flew in very quickly and just stopped,hovering in the air. We just stared at it.
My girlfriend got out and ran to the car in front of us, and asked if he knew what it was. She said he seemed really nervous and uncomfortable and said it was probably some military prototype.
Then it took off so fast! It was unreal, really.

But I have no doubt that there is a logical explanation.

Not long after Rick and I got together, in 2002, there was some UFO that seemed intent on following us all around. We called him “Our Buddy.”

Not those as popularly conceived.

But I do know people who think of sasquatch as something other than a mere hairy humanoid and attribute some middle-of-the-night sounds in the mountains to them.

Have you seen My Cousin Vinny, where they’re trying to sleep in the cabin and this God awful screeching goes up….and it’s an owl.
Mountain lions can sound pretty supernatural too.
