“Bigfoot is blurry. That's extra scary to me. There's a large, out-of-focus monster roaming the countryside.”

I remember reading that Pennsylvania was a nationwide leader in the number of Bigfoot sightings.

Since I've moved upstate I've met several people who believe with all earnestness. All anyone believed where I'm from is that you can't get a decent cheesesteak north of Allentown.

Let me introduce you to Big Mike, way up North and better cheesesteaks than most of Philly

Or west of Reading. I moved 10 years ago to central PA. My cheese steak consumption plummeted.

This is the first I've ever heard they were in my very own state. How did I not know this?

Depends what part of the state you’re in. I’m firmly in “gullible moron” territory.

OH once in awhile we hear a claim, like the guy not far from here who said Bigfoot ( for what reason? ) threw rocks at his camper......still not sure why on earth someone throwing rocks would automatically be Bigfoot.

Why are you saying ‘they’? Is there no there more than one? Bigfoots? Bigfeet?

Look at a sat view of the State. All that mountainous forest land. Wide variety of prey animals and forage crops. Prime habitat.

Bigfoot is real. Don’t get seduced by the soft fur and muscular hunky body. Those large, sweaty grippers rubbing all over my chest and face…

I like how the article mentions Western PA as the location for most of the sightings. Call us crazy hillbillies without calling us crazy hillbillies.

People don’t believe that Bigfoot lives in PA, but bring up Mountain Lions and then you’ll get a bunch of people that actually believe that Mountain Lions still exist here.

I saw one! It was the size of a housecat and it had stripes like a housecat and it sleeps in my bed at night like a housecat but I know it was a mountain lion in my heart of hearts!

Because no matter what you call them the mountain lion is still making great strides in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.

Pennsylvania is also infested with coyotes, but you don't hear alot about them unless you live in rural populous places. I live in Columbia County and literally came within about 15-20 yards of a pack about a week ago. They didn't want part of myself or my dog and they are on guard to begin with.

Bobcats are definitely in Pennsylvania. I’ve seen many in my life in the Pennsylvania wilds, but the only Mountain Lions are the Nittany Lions.

But there aren't. Zero credible evidence of any in the state. For a state with hundreds of thousands of hunters and even more trail cameras, there's no pictures of any.

Trust me Lancaster County has ALOT around. I lived in Manheim/Mount Joy area most of my life and also spent a lot of time at State Gameland 156. I've seen wildlife. Even saw a bear just out for a leisurely stroll in nearby Middle Creek

Where I live now its not uncommon to see both bear and deer tracks , plus coyotes, foxes are regular visitors....

JimboDanks t1_is6ejhm wrote

I know what your saying, but mountain lions are actual creatures that people “own” and set loose. There was a female mountain lion running around northern berks for a bunch of years. At the same time there where a pair of emu’s running around the same area. Nothing like seeing a 5ft tall flightless bird running around the woods to scare the crap out of you.

Don’t believe the Bigfoot crap but there’s mountain lions/bobcats in north lycoming

WookieeSteakIsChewie t1_is6q8i0 wrote

Mountain lions are very different than bobcats. Bobcats do live in PA. Mountain lions don't.

CharacterBrief9121 t1_is6xe35 wrote

I went ahead and did some research, the mountain lion federation (MLF not Milf) says there are no population known of mountain lions east of the Rockies minus a small endangered pop in Florida. Wildlife informer goes both ways stating there is not any mountain lions in pa but there have been sightings. PSU explicitly says No cougars in PA. I swear I’ve seen the yellow of a mountain lion. I do not believe there is a significant population. In my neck of the woods it’s sparsely populated with a lot of woods and open unused land I’ve seen plenty of bob cats. Only ever thought I’ve seen a mountain lion a few times. They have lived here before and there is a claim that the last one was killed in the late 1800s but how is somebody in 1870-90 going to be able to verify that claim. I think they went the way of the wolf, virtually becoming something different. Like wolf and “eastern coyote” which I know exists I’ve seen it kill family members chickens that roamed their yard.

The fuck they don’t live here. I saw one bound across a gravel road in pike county and in Sussex county nj. PA is prime mountain lion habitat.

WookieeSteakIsChewie t1_is718ya wrote

Ok. Find me ONE picture of one that can be confirmed to be in PA.

You can't because there aren't any, even though we're covered in game cameras.

I'm with you. it's like, have you been to our woods? I told a ranger two days ago that I got chased for like a quarter mile by a bobcat some years ago. he hadn't heard anything like that before, but it happened to me in black moshannon. so much goes on out here unreported and disbelieved.

Mijbr090490 t1_is7li5p wrote

Yeah and once you spend some time up in those parts, you start to see how a mountain lion or two could roam undetectable for the most part. I saw what I believed to be one almost 20 years ago on Hazard road in Clinton county. There was the carcass of a fawn we saw laying in the road and a tan colored animal with a long, thick tail that went into the woods as we pulled up.

Had a mountain lion in my backyard once! To be fair it had escaped from a local zoo but still

Mor_Tearach t1_is7y1ir wrote

I don't see why there wouldn't be though. We live in the woods- no, haven't seen one but there's just SO much area where they could live ( and a huge deer population ) it's not an outrageous idea.

If you’ve been in upstate PA, you could see how BF could be there. Miles and miles of woods, creeks, caves, forgotten homesteads, even found old graveyards. Wouldn’t be surprised. BUT never seen one.

jagman69er t1_is7wdf2 wrote

Why is it so hard for people to believe what someone saw without thinking they know everything about nature?? If a tree falls in the woods and you are not there to hear it does it make noise?? We know they do if we are there, but if we aren’t it must be silent!!! Same with wildlife! We can go back and forth on here arguing what we know snd what we think we know until infinity, so who is right??!!

There was an article in the newspaper today, informing residents the Pennsylvania Game Commission assures there are no bigfoot creatures in the area.

Someone printed beware of bigfoot signs on DCNR or Game Commission letterhead and attached to trees in various locations.

What is with the left calling everyone they disagree with a nazi, republican, conservative, etc.

I literally got my mail-in ballot yesterday and will be voting for Fetterman tomorrow.

He's still bigfoot.

Thank ya. I've voted for him twice before, and I am voting for him this year as well.

If there has been an increase in bigfoot sightings in the state, he's the reason.
