Hasty Generalization:
Definition - Making a claim from something with too small of evidence.
"Again, it was dusk at this point, this thing was literally 20ft in front of us in the wide open. Since it was dusk, just past sunset, where you still have that moment of visibility, you can see how big it was".
You see that they give this description and big effect of what it might look like, but you get no other evidence or source to show that there was an actual encounter or sighting.
Emotional Appeal:
Definition - Effort to win an argument without facts, logic or reason but instead manipulating the emotions of the audience.
"After reading other reports recently, I am convinced of what I saw. I did not go back to check. I don't even like to drive that road at night anymore".
This statement has no evidence to support what he is saying. He is basing it off emotion and trying to get you to feel as though big foot is real based of what he has seen and heard.
Appeal to Ignorance -
Definition - A statement is true because it has not yet been proven false
"Nothing really, it just stood there for a moment, then suddenly gone"
This statement shows that it is what they saw and so because it has not been proven false, that big foot is out there because they saw it.
