It's strange that this theory isn't mentioned more often, but there is surprisingly little overlap between "Bigfoot believers" and "ESP believers".<br /><br />The idea of Bigfoot-like creatures coming through a dimensional portal is the theme of my humorous novelette "The Mechamical Gorilla" (<a href="http://forteana-blog.blogspot.com/2013/02/the-mechanical-gorilla.html" rel="nofollow">http://forteana-blog.blogspot.com/2013/02/the-mechanical-gorilla.html</a>). In the story, I credit the idea to Nick Redfern (a British author now resident in the U.S.), who has occasionally advocated "paranormal" theories of at least some Bigfoot-like sightings.Andrew Mayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17073306343984931484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2012179240296572398.post-49325228639598201752015-08-05T20:33:32.394+01:002015-08-05T20:33:32.394+01:00Andrew, author Kate Kelly suggested I read this po...Andrew, author Kate Kelly suggested I read this post after reading one of her short stories which led me into thinking about such things as parallel worlds. While it was a regular coffee-house discussion back in the day when I was in college, it came up again recently. As you know, I've had a lifelong interest in Bigfoot/Yeti research. I have been following a particular field researcher who has been using Jane Goodall's techniques of habituation with a specific family of these hominids in an undisclosed area of the Oregon Cascades near Cave Junction, OR. His work has borne a great deal of fruit over several years and has been corroborated by many guests to the site. He has collected a great deal of forensic material and data, however they seem to have reached a plateau, and for a closer, more intimate knowledge of what they call the "Forest People" and for definitive scientific proof, they have not been able to take the research further using the non-invasive, non-threatening approach. He has however, began giving more credence to a suggestion from several of his visitors who believe they have seen glowing lights that have been associated with dimensional portals. He has begun expressing the belief that these hominds have developed some form of mental "cloaking" to remain unseen, or that they actually travel in and out between dimensions regularly, enabling them to escape when pursued. This initially made me feel that maybe he was venturing into Woo-Wooo territory, but maybe I'm too quick to judge. Have you heard such theorizing when it comes to cryptid species?Richard Suttonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07334072047610794115noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2012179240296572398.post-2967468231710911812012-10-08T14:26:12.557+01:002012-10-08T14:26:12.557+01:00Yes, the fourth dimension is an important, and rel...Yes, the fourth dimension is an important, and relevant subject in parapsychology.In this regard,my developing project may be of interest.<br /><br />http://www.p2pfoundation.net/Multi-Dimensional_ScienceRobert Searlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15492364980305779010noreply@blogger.com
