The theory I like for Bigfoot, UFOs, ghosts, and Cryptids is that they are from other dimensions normally invisible to ours, but there are people or places where some kind of cross-dimensional transference occurs and they pop into our dimension briefly. So essentially they are all the same phenomenon. It’s a little too convenient of an explanation, but I like how it “feels” as a commentary on it.

Well, that would be the only argument that would hold up to my husband's. When I mentioned this article to him, he looked me straight on and said, where are the skeletons? If sasquatch exists, what happens to their remains?

They bury their dead.

Ok, and so do some serial killers, but we occasionally stumble upon even some of those unmarked graves sometimes

So either 5-dimensional (move through 4 dimensions like we move through 3) beings or beings from færie? I feel like you have a solid premise for a modern fairy story right there, though honestly outside of the English speaking world there already is that sort of continuity from myth →fairy → folklore →urban legend/cryptids

So god is a cryptid? Totally exists but is invisible.

Honestly moments of divine clarity, god appearing before people, miracles and that kind of thing could be explained by this theory. Not much evidence for it, but it feels like a nice clean theory albeit maybe a bit too convenient

"Not much" lol.

Just because it sounds like a nice theory doesn't mean it is all true.

Yep, which is why I included that qualifier, along with saying the explanation is “maybe a little too convenient”

I’m in no way saying it’s true, just that I like the theory, from an existential perspective. It’s fun to philosophize about this stuff, not trying to convince anyone this theory is true. Just fun to think about

Last Podcast on the Left, its a Paranormal/True Crime podcast. One of the hosts is Henry Zebrowski, who some might have seen on "Your Pretty Face is Going to Hell".

Anyway, Henry goes on CONSTANTLY with this exact theory about all paranormal events being extradimensional entities.

Its a really fun show, if you're into that kinda stuff.

Ah yes I’ve heard of it and honestly there may be some bleed over that caused me to first hear of this theory. I often find paranormal researchers to be sort of insufferable, but I should give it another try; I know people talk about the podcast as being solid.

Its equally entertaining as it is educational. Some might find it too crude, as the hosts say basically whatever. (I've got funny looks from pedestrians when listening stopped at a light.)

I’ll check it out. I don’t mind crude, but also don’t really like Cumtown or find it very funny, so I guess there’s a line for me. It’s also an area that interests me so I should probs give it a listen. Thanks for the recommendation!
