I believe in ghosts/spirits because I've had a personal encounter with one. I also believe in extraterrestrials because there's way more of a chance of their existence than non-existence

Why is a tall and extremely hairy human-like creature so hard to imagine to you?

Simple. Because a species consisting of only a handful of members (at most) could not survive, and Bigfoot was first reported 200 years ago. That would necessarily be at least four generations, and more likely 6-8. Combine that with the fact that there's no proof of it and you've got a very unlikely creature.

Detail fail: No one mentioned that these things have to exist at this very moment.

About the evolutionary point of view:
Say, a branch of monkies that once existed, say, 300.000 years ago, developed a kind that mainly walks using 2 legs instead of 4 (like traditional monkies) but still were very hairy.
There you have it, a big foot. This species maybe lived for some time, then died out.

How is this not evolutionary possible? The way I see it, it has potential to exist - the way any of us exist.

I would certainly acknowledge that there are transitional species between our common ancestors with modern apes and between modern humans. Many transitional fossils have been discovered and would corroborate what you're saying. However, you're arguing about "a big foot" type of species and not THE Bigfoot that nutters like to believe is currently roaming the Pacific Northwest of North America. And remember, this is a thread about witches, vampires, and other things that nutters believe in.

No proof? what about the hundreds of eye witness reports? And sightings have been occurring for alot more than 200 years. Bigfoot has been a central figure in both native american and tibetan lore long before that
