Just to add to the discussion...

This was one of the most convincing interviews I listened to. She sounds genuinely terrified recounting her tale.

Now she may have hallucinated what happened, but it definitely sounds like she believes what she saw (to my ears anyway)

Plenty of people are convinced they've seen ghosts too. Eyewitness testimony is incredibly unreliable.
Which is what I acknowledge with the hallucinated comment. I am very familiar with this area of psychology and neuroscience as it's part of my job.

But she - to my ears - believes what she's claiming...that's the point I was making.

Either way it's interesting, if it's (they're) real or a common neurological phenomenon yet be discovered (in the same way folks mistake parasomnia for Ghosts, Witches and Alien abduction).

That's the thing, bears are mostly vegetarian or scavengers and take only injured deer because they don't have the speed to catch healthy ones. Wolves chase prey to exhaustion. A biped stands no chance, we hunt with tools.

And how does a Bigfoot population sustain itself? You need a critical mass of creatures. If they're a neanderthal type creature where are the fires? There's a very good argument that we could evolve as well as we have because we learnt to cook so could extract more nutrients more easily and therefore our (and other hominids') brains grew.
We are still finding human tribes in the Amazon. Of course the area is much greater than the wildernesses of North America; equally, our rate of discovering new tribes doesn’t seem to be slowing, suggesting that more exploration = more discovery. We take for granted that we have satellite imagery that “surely” shows all signs of habitation, and yet…

Is it too great a leap to imagine that the “remains” of a Sasquatch presence would be essentially indistinguishable to most people from the evidence of humans and/or other creatures? We’re not talking cabins and campfires here.
