Bigfoot has been seen rummaging in garbage cans, taking road-kill, eating blackberries and huckleberries, carrying game like deer and wild boar. If the Omah people (and I fully believe they are people.) are trans-dimensional beings, would they really cross dimensions just to steal leftovers from garbage cans or pick up a badger that was hit by a car, or wander along gobbling blackberries? I mean, Oregon has GOOOOOD blackberries- I just picked a bunch to take home with me-but worth skipping dimensions for?
That being said, there is something strange in North American forests, something I'm only really just starting to clue into, something to do with the what I like to all North American Fae, something alternate to our reality, something I can't quite define yet. Still working on gathering evidence and trying to frame my opinions about that, I'm afraid. But we have witnesses, reliable researchers, who say that they've seen Bigfoot step out of or into portals, literally disappearing in front of their eyes. One witness said they were hiking, and felt that they'd stepped into an alternate reality, a place that didn't exist, and there was grabbed by the arm by a Bigfoot, and managed to run and find themselves back on the trail again.
As to evidence, we've got good, clear photos of Squatches, as well as thermal imaging,etc, but the second a researcher produces something clear, it's declared a hoax because it's "too clear, it must be staged." And when DNA comes back human, it's assumed that the collector contaminated the evidence, even when it comes from reputable researchers with crime-scene evidence collection training and quality collection equipment.
Someone mentioned that they must be common animals that are being misidentified, but I have to respectfully disagree with that notion. Most of the in-person sightings I've discussed with witnesses, these witnesses are hunters, fishermen, loggers, homesteaders, Native Americans; people like me who grew up in the woods and know every sound, sight, and animal like the back of their hands. I know what I saw cross in front of our car was not a bear, an elk, a porcupine, or anything else I'd ever seen before. When you're intimately familiar with the local wildlife of an area, you don't mistake a bobcat for a cougar, or a black bear for a grizzly. How do you mistake a brown bear for a monstrously tall, bipedal, humanoid? It's simple. You don't. That being said, the recent fad for bigfoot hunting has brought a lot inexperienced people out looking- I've looked at a lot of pictures of bear tracks, listened to a lot of recordings of female cougars in heat, and looked at a lot of blurry photos of shadows of tree stumps. I think any eyewitness account needs to be taken with a hint of skepticism and the eyewitness's background, history, and experience need to be taken into account.
