Bigfoot sighted in Connecticut again

Question

Loud whooping noises heard coming from forest in Connecticut, suspected to be Bigfoot.

Answer 1

The claim about a recent Bigfoot sighting in Fairfield County, Connecticut, involving loud “whooping” noises is indeed based on a report logged by the Bigfoot Field Researchers Organization (BFRO). The latest incident documented by the BFRO was in October 2023, where unusual howls were reported between Botsford and Upper Stepney in Fairfield County. However, evidence remains anecdotal, with no physical proof or widely accepted scientific validation. The BFRO maintains records of such reports, but these sightings are generally classified as folklore rather than confirmed evidence.

While your response was good, instead of encouraging people to visit a website, provide a link to the actual source.

Answer 2

This claim is unconfirmed. The article linked written by Braley Dodson was published on November 7th and lacks information on the past sighting in 2023. I found the Bigfoot Field Researchers Organization website where Mathew Moneymaker shares his personal experience. https://www.bfro.net/GDB/show_report.asp?id=76534. This conspiracy is most likely false, cannot be proven true without physical proof and or other witnesses at the least. Very interesting story though!

I appreciate that you included the authors' names in your response. I found Braley Dodson on https://muckrack.com/braley-dodson, confirming that she is a real author. However, I think it's suspicious for someone to publish a blog under an alias such as "Mathew Moneymaker," making me agree with your confusion that the claim is unconfirmed.

I like how you found out the authors name, and where he also posts. This makes it much easier to find out when this author talks about other sightings, and to avoid them.

Answer 3

As much as it might be comforting to believe in something that expands the human imagination, I believe that it is hard to believe that Bigfoot is real and has never fully been sighted or caught. In North America, Bigfoot sightings are common in the media and in mythology, but reliable proof is still hard to come by. A lot of sightings depend on eyewitness reports and blurry photos, which are hard to confirm scientifically. Over the years, the Bigfoot Field Researchers Organization (BFRO) has developed a list of reported sightings, some of which have occurred in Connecticut. However, despite a great deal of investigation, including genetic testing of hair samples given to Bigfoot, the existence of the creature has not been confirmed, as tests have found DNA from humans, bears, or other animals. Peer-reviewed research and expert opinions in wildlife biology and anthropology usually label Bigfoot encounters as unconfirmed for scientifically accurate data.  Additionally, researchers under the direction of geneticist Bryan Sykes examined a number of alleged Bigfoot hair samples as part of the 2014 Oxford-Lausanne Collateral Hominid Project. None of them was proof of an unknown humanoid species, instead, they were all recognized as known animal species.

I like how you bring up other studies and sources on why bigfoot isn't real, and while I agree that bigfoot is not real it is still important to provide evidence and not just what we assume.

I completely agree! There’s been a lot of additional information about Bigfoot over the years, and having solid evidence to back up claims helps tremendously in creating a more informed and objective discussion. There have been so many reports about BigFoot and his whereabouts for years; additional information is very important to this topic.
