Christopher Noël On Why Bigfoot Wants The Attention Of Humans
Christopher Noël on ‘Sasquatch Rising 2013: Dead Giants Tell No Tales’
What are some things that Bigfoot do to get humans’ attention? And why do they want the attention of humans exactly?
CN: Sasquatch brains are perhaps twice as large as ours, and yet they don’t use their brains to build cities, write symphonies and books, design computers or other sophisticated machines. Instead, they devote their gray matter to just a few vital concerns, which include:
a) memorizing every square inch of their territory so that they can be immediately aware of the smallest changes that may signal a threat; this is why trail cameras, and other such tricks, almost never work
b) memorizing the habits and routines of the local humans, down to the smallest nuances; keeping close tabs on us allows them to have the best of eluding us
c) scouting around to find interesting and stimulating interactions with some humans at what we have come to call “habituation sites,” which are what my book focuses on.
It is true that Sasquatch would stand a much better chance of not being known by us if they would simply stop visiting us, peeking in our houses, tapping on our windows, banging on our walls, mimicking our voices, wood-knocking in our forests, etc.. But I think they find us irresistible, especially the juveniles and young males do, and especially with our children and women. Partly, this is because of the sheer thrill of danger, of transgressing the ancient taboo against such interaction, and partly it’s because we are the only other “animal” in their class, with whom they can vigorously match wits. People at habituation sites report many forms of indirect, or symbolic, communication—the exchange of food and gifts, the back-and-forth alteration of stick and rock structures, etc. My book devotes hundreds of pages to this kind of game-playing, as well as to certain darker, more intimidating aspects of the relationship.
It may even be that some Sasquatch are conducting numerous similar games with various households in a given area—each person probably assuming that she or he alone is thus blessed with an invisible playmate—like a chess grand master who is able to test their mettle against dozens of opponents simultaneously; in this manner, such periodic partners could remain engaged and mentally stimulated while making the rounds, a constantly moving target, distributing and diminishing the risk.
Many habituators attempt to read specific messages in the configurations they find on their property, and some reliable translation might eventually be possible. At this early point in our understanding, though, we might prefer to accept each new manifestation as a good-humored gift that means simply, “I acknowledge you.”
