Is Bigfoot a Shapeshifter? “Theory Talk” Vol. 3


Is Bigfoot a Shapeshifter? “Theory Talk” Vol. 3


Be sure to read the other entries in this series here! “Theory Talk”

Well I thought I’d heard it all when I heard that Bigfoot might be an alien, but apparently Bigfoot is so mysterious that people are continuing to come up with theories as to why we haven’t found/captured him yet. And today we’re going to talk about one of these theories that’s actually been around for a while. So, here’s the theory. The reason why we’ve been unable to find is because he’s a shapeshifter. Some Bigfoot eyewitnesses have claimed that they saw Bigfoot literally transform into a rock or tree stump once it realized people were looking at it. Others say Bigfoot went completely invisible. (Bigfoot is really the Predator!) It’s unclear if this theory stems from the Native American “Skinwalker” legend, which tells of people who have the ability to shapeshift into any animal they desire (sometimes they must be wearing the pelt of whatever animal they want to shift into). One hint that it might’ve stemmed form the Skinwalker legend is Bigfoot has actually been attributed to the legend. OK, while the theory isn’t the weirdest Bigfoot theory out there (there  are some weird theories about Bigfoot), it’s still pretty far fetched. But could it actually be true? If you believe in the Skinwalker legend, then maybe it could be seen as plausible, but I have a problem with linking the two together. If Bigfoot is actually a person who transformed into a Bigfoot, then is it possible for them to transform into a second form, and can that form be an inanimate object? The Skinwalker legend tells of people being able to morph into ANIMALS, not rock or trees. But, let’s say that Bigfoot isn’t a person but is it’s own species. That would mean that Bigfoot has the magical abilities to morph into objects in it’s surroundings and even turn fully invisible. Even if it had this power, it still has no connection to the Skinwalker legend because, again, Skinwalkers can only change into animals. So while some might connect this theory with the Skinwalker legend, I don’t think they’re related at all other than the whole ‘changing shape’ thing. And lastly, let’s just say that Bigfoot does have the ability to change into rocks and stumps. If this is the case, then why don’t all Bigfoots do this when they’re spotted? It seems that only a small handful of Bigfoots have been witnessed morphing. Most others just continue to walk, run away or stare at the spectators. And it’s because of that reason, that I don’t think Bigfoot is a shapeshifter. If this were true, then I think we’d have a lot more people saying that Bigfoot morphed into a big rock right in front of them, and we’d probably would’ve seen evidence of this ability on tape by now. So, what do you think? Is Bigfoot able to shapeshift at will or have people just mistaken Bigfoot’s masterful ability at natural camouflage for a supernatural power? If Bigfoot can shapeshift, is it somehow related to the Skinwalker legend or do the two have no connection at all?
