Anybody here seen a ghost, UFO, Bigfoot, or anything like that?

If there are such things as UFOs, why do they only ever abduct clueless nobodies from out in the sticks? The impression aliens have of us must be so very tarnished by the quality of human they've been testing.

It wouldn't surprise me if, when the invasion finally comes, all the aliens speak in yokel accents and offer to trade Earth for a pig.

Note to self: Redneck Aliens would make for a pretty awesome movie.

I saw the Loch Ness Monster. . . . . .it lives in my pants.

I think that's the Co*k Ness Monster you're talking about

That's nothing, just think of what they've likely learned by watching our television broadcasts. Think of what they would think of us after watching a bunch of 70's and 80's television cheese like Love Boat, TJ Hooker, Cagney and Lacy, Miami Vice, Soap, Night Court, Cheers, Hill Street Blues, Fantasy Island, Dallas, The Dukes of Hazzard, and any other cheesy shows I've forgotten.

If they've been watching sci-fi, (and I hear aliens are big fans of sci-fi, or "fi" as they call it), they'll have some odd ideas about what we're capable of. Perhaps the reason they haven't invaded is because they're afraid of Godzilla.

They're taking the low-threat people. 

Start kidnapping important people, somebody's going to notice.  Kidnap smart people and they just might notice something they can use against the aliens.  Kidnap well respected people and you have people willing to acknowledge that there IS an alien threat. 

Kidnap Joe Six-pack and when he gets back and starts telling hi stories about what the little green men did to him, he's not as likely to be believed by anybody or have noticed anything that would be useful.

Them aliens is SMART.

I believe in ufos's...but alien abduction sounds like so much BS. I suppose it's possible...but the majority of abduction yarns are made by people with an agenda (Billy Meir,George Adamski,Whitley Strieber). Folks like Betty and Barny Hill,Travis Walton,...mebbe....,I take a very skeptic stance on abduction tales.

[Leah]

Whatya talkin bout? I'm Bigfoot, dammit!

[Raffine]

When I was a kid I was convinced Bigfoot lurked in the half acre of woods behind our house.

Some say he still roams this endless* expanse of forest.

No but I was present at an undersea, unexplained mass sponge migration!

I agree.  Not every story you hear is true, but that doesn't mean they're all fake either.

I believe there are plenty of Klingons around Uranus.

My experiences are not very exciting, but here they are. About a year or so ago I was sitting in my room and I could hear some voices behind my door. It was whispers that I could hear but not understand. Pretty creepy, but iv'e not heard any more voices. On the UFO side of things, last year sometime there was a odd light flashing up in the air from the woods surrounding my house. Still don't know what that was. I have yet to see or hear anything Bigfoot related, which is unfortunate because thats what i'm interested in most.
