Silly Question I know..
... but the answers are interesting sometimes.



What would you be more frightened by, an encounter with bigfoot, a ufo or a ghost? Why? :scared:




It would be a clear sighting, no question about what you are seeing.

What would shake you up more? The question isn't if you believe it could happen, this is assuming it happens.

I've posted this on different types of message boards I read and the answers are always interesting, different groups answer with unique reasons. I thought I would run it by my favorite political board.

1. Why do you assume we'd be frightened?

3. Same here
Nothing would be scarier than an encounter with Srub, Crashcart or Rumsfailed.

4. None of them
Human beings are far scarier.

5. Have to be BigFoot
A Ghost would be philosophically comforting.
A UFO would be intellectually liberating.
BigFoot would be the one most likely to be a savage encounter.

I have faced Sharks and Big Wild Cats in person. I would welcome any one of your choices.

8. Thanks for your answer
That's what I usually get when I ask this. You have to pick one.

I guess I underestimated what the posters on this board have been through and what we've seen. This group is hard to scare.

10. Well if you have to pick one
then I'll go with aliens.

In all the 'sightings' of Bigfoot I don't recall anyone being threatened or attacked...they all seem to have just scooted off.

Ghosts are already dead, so presumably no danger.

Aliens would be a totally unknown quantity though...I'd hope for a Vulcan crew, but it could be a Borg one. :D

11. have to go with Bigfoot, too . . .
at least you'd have a chance of communicating with an alien or a ghost . . . don't think Bigfoot would be much interested in a conversation . . .

6. Well I don't believe any of the three exist.
So that makes it hard to answer the question.

7. The alien
Ghosts are cool. I'm foolishly not afraid of any animal, so Bigfoot would be intriguing. The alien would be the wild card, causing a bit more caution, but I would certainly give it the benefit of any doubt.

9. Bigfoot's been totally debunked. Alien, I s'pose.

12. UFO would be scariest
Ghost, as previous poster said, would be comforting

Bigfoot - scary, but I would think I could stay out of harm's way.

UFO - they would track me down with their superior intelligence/technology, and do terrible things to me (or so I would fear).
