Mr.Dazed has a mild obsession with Big Foot.
He watches every bloody awful documentary he can, usually featuring people who look like they've just stepped out of Deliverance, claiming to have seen one /captured one/recorded one making "Big Foot" noises.
None of it is very convincing but, bless him he wants so much to believe.
I can understand the fascination because no one seems to have a believable explanation, at least not that I've ever heard. I think a lot of it is wishful thinking. Who doesn't like a mystery?
I'm going with Brownies, since they seem the most useful. A creature whose raison d'Γͺtre is to sneak into our houses at night and do housework? Sold!
Definitely NOT Mothman or Thunderbirds! Weird giant flying things, no thanks.
I'm on the fence about big foot. I could buy such an animal exists, and is canny enough to have not yet been captured, or killed by us humans, but has been seen many times. All the sightings I've seen are all in heavily wooded areas, never deserts or urban or even suburban areas, which would make sense.
There have been a number of seasoned forest rangers who've reported seeing them, and you'd certainly think they'd know enough to not mistake what they saw for a bear, which is the only other animal that sounds anything like big foot.
The main thing I wonder about is why hasn't anyone yet found a single skeleton or remains, if they do exist?
For me it's the existence of magic, not in a Paul Daniels away but making things happen with rituals, thoughts and spells. Keeping negativity at bay and keeping things safe.
Wizards are cool!
