Is Bigfoot now roaming the woods of Ketchikan, Alaska?

The latest alleged Bigfoot sighting places the fabled ape-like creature alongside a logging road near Ketchikan, Alaska. YouTube user putua76 provided video evidence in a May 10 post, along with seemingly genuine commentary.

"My heart's pounding a million miles an hour," the videographer exclaims, after capturing a fleeting glimpse of a large, grayish-looking beast walking swiftly through the forest.

But as the Alaska Dispatch astutely points out, "The creature is hard to see, hidden behind trees and partially or totally obscured, giving just enough evidence for the skeptics to dispute and just enough for the believers to support."

Let the viewer judge and our guess is that there will be more skeptics than believers, but you never know. According to the Bigfoot Field Researchers Organization, however, this marks the first reported Bigfoot/Sasquatch sighting in Ketchikan, and only the 22nd in Alaska.  Many more sightings have been made in the Pacific Nortwest region of Canada and the lower U.S.

So here's the story so far. When I discovered this video, it had 0 views. I decided to put it on my blog at bigfootevidence.blogspot.com and immediately notified the uploader asking for more details. So far, there's been no response. You have to wonder if this was something the user uploaded just for the fun of it or this was an actual sighting. The witness does sound a little convincing, even calling out for his friend afterwards. The nature of how this all came about is somewhat unsettling. This user hasn't visited his site for the past week (when we discovered it fresh and blogged on it). So, in my opinion, this could just be something the user uploaded and forgot about it. If the user was paying attention, they would have received the emails coming from their YouTube account.

Note that the person didn't even show it to anybody until BigfootEvidence blogged on it. This makes you wonder if it was meant to be shown at all.

The fact there have been (literally) no bones, fossils, artifacts, et al., recovered in the (ahem) “hunt” for Bigfoot is dispositive on the issue: Bigfoot does not exist.

Hobbits? Well, just go to the Island of Flores.

It is the prima facie example of how genetic drift and mutation coalesce together to adapt to local conditions, tending to prove Wallace's theory (I mean Darwin's) of natural selection: the retention of favorable traits over those which are injurious.
