Big foot fallacies . CA

UNREPRESENTIVE SAMPLE | “they did look human, I just couldn't understand why a man would be this far back in the woods without shoes on”.

 

WISHFUL THINKING |And over the years there is one thing I have thought about a bigfoot would have to grow up, so maybe it was a young bigfoot.”

 

SLIPPERY SLOPE | “We heard somthing scream, it started out as a howl and turned into a long high pitched scream and it was so loud it echoed through the mountians”.

 

APPEAL TO IGNORANCE | “And right there across the dried mud in the fire brake is a set of foot prints dried into the mud.” (The reason I say this is because there is no evidence that he saw the footprints as in a photograph.)

 

-Consistent location. -  Near a lake which seems a probable place for a bigfoot to live.
