Curious if any of our rural comrades have ever heard this phenomenon? It's alleged that Biggie communicates with one another via these knocks over miles of wooded terrain. I've heard weird noises before at night but never any knocks, go figure according to the internet there was a Bigtoe sighting near where I live.

Pic related is an official Sasquatch tree knocker from Etsy.

    I want to believe in big foot so bad but at this point with modern tech the lack of evidence is kinda becoming evidence of absence. Yeti on the other hand I think has a high likelihood of being a real cryptid. Fur has been found with unknown DNA and the area is so inhospitable and remote even with modern tech it could never be thoroughly searched. If the indigenous people say yeti exist I certainly think there's a chance.

      Could be. But it's worth noting that Bigfoot is present in a lot of native cultures, not just those that pass on the Yeti.

        Good point, maybe lack of evidence is cause of fucking colonizers wiping out half the native wildlife a couple hundred years ago.

        As apes ourselves, "large ape" is a pretty simple basis for a myth—like how dragons are common cross-culturally because we're afraid of snakes.

      The latest takes on Bigfoot are wild and I live it, there is a bunch about how it is a transdimensional being that can communicate telepathically and is also maybe a shaman of some sorts.

      It's a way to still believe in it despite modern technology and a destroyed wildlife i guess
