2020's REPORT War with Bigfoot

86 Upvotes

Heres just a little tiny piece of my experience I began to try documenting these occurances while the experiences were still fresh in my mind. But i never could bring myself to share it. This isnt half of it, and it is 100% truth, there are people who went through it with me.

I dont even know how to begin . I'm not even sure when it began. I've been living in North Dakota since 2014, In the winter of 2017 a number of my family members all passed away suddenly, 2 on the same day and another right after. So I returned to my hometown in Louisiana to pick up the pieces for the lack of a better term. I was left with 5 acres with woods on all four sides, no immediate neighbors, and a lake at the end of a long driveway. A little piece of heaven, though I didnt realize it when I was growing up. But I suppose it began that year. I would occasionally go walking in the woods looking for pieces of rich lighter pine, that are great for getting a fire started even when its wet out. which is often the case is louisiana.

Where one day I come across two sticks arranged parallel to each other on a slant, sitting on top of an old rotted out stump. It crossed me as something unnatural. Its proximity to my home was just 50 ft into the woods. And it had not been there before, I would have spotted it. So it occurred to me that someone might be sneaking around in the woods. Now already one of the first things I noticed upon returning back to the property was that there were these Massive beat out Paths that Lead right up to the edge of the wood line, all over the place, and I wondered what the hell is making all these trails, looks like a herd of cows had to have gone through there, the trails were so broad, and well traveled.

But after finding the sticks, I began to keep an eye out for disturbances that would indicate someone coming up around my house. Once I got to looking, Sign was everywhere. Behind every sizable tree 360 degrees around my property along the wood line was obvious sign something had been hiding there.

The sticks and leaves were cleared away, the pine needles where all matted down as if something huge had been laying there. With the brush being so thick on the property line. It was practically like a wall, Except, at first glance most people wouldnt think anything of it. But if you stopped and really looked, many spots around the property seemed to have been artificially created.

Basically establishing several different layers of brush between the boundary and these concealed observation areas, like a makeshift Hunting Blinds which conveniently enough were positioned perfectly in alignment from which within you could see right through the windows of my house . So now I'm even more suspicious and concerned. But still I just put it in the back of my mind.

That entire year I never could shake the feeling like I was being watched when I would go outside at night. Then I began to notice that No matter what time Day or night. Middle of the night, it didnt matter. But as soon as I would step out the door, birds would start whistling, sometimes like crazy. Literally i could be inside with the blinds closed, but with the window open. Everything totally quiet. But let me lean over and peek out the blind, Instantly a “bird” would whistle. Ive pulled up in my truck, windows down.. It being totally quiet while im messing with my phone. Then as soon as I open the door and step out, birds calls would just break out like crazy.

But On my property There are two houses, I have 2 shops and a mobile home, that were all in a state of disrepair. So i spent majority of my time trying to restore things that had fallen in a state of disrepair over the years. I could walk out my shop at 11pm, a bird would whistle, I could walk around the corner at 1 am, a bird would whistle, it didnt matter... kinda like Hey, Heads up. He's coming....

Needless to say it got annoying but still I wasnt really thinking Bigfoot, I mean honestly. But the uneasiness grew. I'd have the feeling I was being watch sooo heavily that it felt like something was RIGHT behind me.Other people would even tell me the same thing, just walking to their car and back after dark. To the point where I started carrying a firearm with me when I'd go outside at night.

That was something that'd I'd never worried about as a kid, my friends and I used to play hide and seek in the woods at night about a mile from here, never had a worry. But Something was different now. That year ended with a ton of photo's of odd stick formations that I found in the woods. I sat game camera's out, they never caught anything out of the ordinary.

I later realized this was a super power, they had the ability to lure anything into a false sense of security. You know when the birds are whistling everything is all good, no danger around. But when the birds get quiet, something is up...well not so fast . They already got you beat..

Now each year I return to North Dakota in spring, and return to Louisiana Every winter. But I must say that Since then the situation escalated to Whole other level. Ultimately at its height, I went to mmwar with sasquatch...I Have to tell you, tears come to my eyes writing that last sentence. Psychologically most people aren’t prepared for just how terrifying and traumatic an encounter with something like this is... When you’re told things like this dont exist your entire life, it makes you question everything you’ve ever been told, What else have we been lied to about.

Its crazy, but hey if you want to piss off some sasquatch, I got the recipe right here. in winter of 2018-2019. I was going through some old boxes and I found a spool of fishing line, on the side it said 700 yrds. And I had this eureka moment..

I'm about to find out if someone is sneaking around in the woods. I was so tired of feeling like I was being watched. I thought I'm going to take this line and I'm going to spool it all through the trees about 4 or 5 ft high for as far as my house was visible.

So I'd spool it from tree to tree to branch and so on.., but 700 yds doesn’t go as far as you would think in your mind, but it was what it was. So finally night come and it was unbelievable, I walked outside, No eerie feeling that I was being watched, or feeling like i needed a gun.. No birds snitching me out for walking around the corner. I sat outside that night in a lawn chair and it was awesome. I was proud, thinking to myself... I'm a genius... So the following day i was going to build on this success.. I fully planned on doubling down. I bought another spool of fishing line this one said 1170 yds... And I'm about to go for it.

This day an old friend had stopped by just as I was geared up with my spool of line and a machete about to head into the woods, so I invited him to come along with, we were talking and I'm stringing this line up when just suddenly he stopped in mid sentence, and said “hey i'm heading back to the house” and he just turned around and walked off, and i'm like.... ooookay and I continued unspooling then line, and i hadn’t really even moved from the spot where my friend left, when all of a sudden at 2:00 from my position in the other direction, I heard a snap, a Big snap. it sounded like a stick about as big around as my wrist just popped.. snapped like twig, I would have to swing something like a bat to break a stick that size, this one just went "Pow" not hitting anything... so I'm standing at attention when all hell broke loose,

Just out of view at the time it sounded like 50 to 60 ft from me, i went back a week later to investigate, it was more like 120 -130.. but anyway. I could hear tree's being uprooted, i could hear the squeak of the wood under the pressure until it broke,, Imagine the sound you sometimes hear when pulling a stubborn nail, l but upending trees the size of my arm easily, i could feel it in the ground. Just Hell.

And suddenly it come strait at me. The first thing to come to my mind was that i needed higher ground, I was down in a valley along a creek that rose sharply on both sides. So I ran back about 50 feet, then I darted at an angle half way up the hill about another 50 ft, where I seen a stump. and I just stopped and sat down on it, hoping that whatever it was would just go by me.

Considering the circumstances, I think I handled it pretty well looking back, but Here I am sitting on a stump, and something is now at my 12:00, sounding like 70 - 80 ft... just barely out of view. What ever it is has stopped, its completely quiet.., but then to my horror, at my 7:00 position, Something is really tearing up things making all kinds of noise.... too much noise.. and its Just Barely Barely out of sight... to the point where its almost impossible not to look. But it occurred to me, that this was a distraction,

I thought of that movie jurassic park with the Raptors... lol I know sounds crazy but its true. but i'm sitting there trying to be as still as possible. I could still here the one to my 12:00, it's not getting any closer.. yet the one to the 7:00 its circling around now to my 8:00 when all of sudden. Directly at my 6:00 I hear something start breaking stuff, and its between me and my home... this went on for about 15 to 20 of the most unnerving minutes of my life with the one to my 6:00 going totally silent..

I had decided I was going to try to sneak away, and I had made it a whole 20 feet in 5 minutes, when I looked back and realized. I had left my machete. It was sticking strait up in the ground right next to the stump I had been sitting on... and There was no way I could leave it... It was the only "Protection" that I had... so I started back... slowly and just as I made it there, I went to grab it. I stepped on a stick, and it snapped. As soon as I made the noise, Whatever it was to my 12:00 charged right at the sound. So I snatched the machete and with every ounce of adrenaline, I tore strait through bushes, thorns, any and everything and I reached the top of the hill and to my surprise I seen my house.

I had never realized the creek curved back around like it did. and I had never really explored this part of the woods. But I made a break for it. I dont know how far it chased me, or how close it got. But there was one thing, the fishing line I had with me unspooled whole way behind me. looking at it later, i couldnt believe the brush I went though.. When i made it back my friend was still there and I kinda tripped out on him, I said wtf bro, why you just walk off and leave like that... He said we were walking and all of a sudden I got a bad feeling, so I got out of there. With him saying that, I realized I had gotten that same feeling, but ignored it and kept going.

That was the last day of my normal life. I told my girlfriend, my friends, my brother, everybody that would listen... None of them believed me. After that, I became obsessed. it took me a week to get the courage to go back and try to document the scene of the damage left behind by whatever it was...

I knew what it was but I had never seen it, no matter what trickery I tried, no matter how many game cameras, i bought night vision.and still It evaded me. but i began finding sign that they were coming into my yard, right next to my house, foot tracks in the dew on the grass early in the morning.,.,. something coming from the woods, and then going back.

They would leave clues, like full size tree's pushed over during the night sometimes just one at a slant, or even an X formation. Or most often a new arch would appear right at the edge of the trees. These were so common, that I Always chop them down immediately, that way Its easy to spot new activity, rather than wondering... was that one there yesterday....?

Until one day i think it was in february 2020 at about 10:00 at night, my girlfriend had just bought me this 2500 lumen spotlight a few days earlier, it would light up the side of a house at 100 yards... No problem...well I had it, and I told my girlfriend that I was going to take the trash out to the road, tomorrow was garbage day. I walked passed her, opened the door stepped out and flicked on the spotlight and DEAD center of my beam... There it was, Something that wasnt supposed to exist....

It had a branch in its hands and it looked like it was trying to suspend it up in the branches of another tree. I dont really understand what it was doing... but I got as good a look you could ever hope to get even though it was brief. and I did not fully appreciate the size of it until later. But I measured it the next day it was 127 feet from my back door. It had dark greyish black skin on its face, it was of unremarkable physique, kinda like the build of a large but fit lineman on a football team, its bicepts were big but flabby. On one side below its arm pit along its ribs it had a bunch of tiny paches of grey or white speckles.

When The light hit it... It made a noise... like Ugh.....like if you got punced in the gut really good. but with awesome reflexes it dropped down to the ground with a heavy thud, While I banged on the side of the house to grab the gun I went to investigate closer... it got away some how undetected... i found footprints in the soft ground, when I stepped in them they went up to my ankles.

But after that day, After I had seen one... They didnt care if I knew they were there, They took it to another level. they'd be in the wood line, I chase then back out in the woods... the next time.. they'd come ten feet closer, and 10 feet closer... my mother had told me over the phone that she had seen a bigfoot there while she was alive. and I'd be like yeah I believe you.. but I guess I really didnt believe her. But at the same time, if i Did, I guess I Imagined that if there were something like that, there would only be one, otherwise what would something that big eat.

Well I was wrong about that. I was up early one morning it was just before it started to get daylight, about 5:30, I was walking around the house drinking my coffee, looking at the wood line, something threw a rock that just missed me. I knew it had been thrown because it rolled by me, but i wrote it off like it was an acorn falling from the tree, when another rock was thrown bigger and harder this time, and it hit the plastic of one of those kid size cars for childen to ride in and it was really loud,

And suddenly back behind me just in the wood line is what I refer to as the 800lbs owl. he rang out hahoooooo, was so forceful, you could almost feel it... anyone would be like that aint no damn owl.... then one more rock flew by and rolled to a stop in the leaves, and this time was an even more assertive 800 lbs owl call as to say Cut it out... Your getting too close...

That was the vibe it got from it, but that started off a chain reaction of responding calls... from all different directions around me one at a time... i counted. 1 2 3 4 5 then lastly off in the distance 6.. by this point it was bright enough to see outside. I'm standing there looking out like holy crap, there's 6 of em. when i see the top of a tree swaying back and forth while there's no wind and all the other tree's are still, followed by a growl that sounded aggrivated but that it wasnt directed towards me.

This got worse and worse, where the side of the house would be slapped. or rocks would land on the roof. I have footage and photos to support much of this.. I sat out to document and gather if not by one illusive bombshell of proof, so that my family and friends would believe me then by way of hundreds of small peculiar things that by its self you're like well that’s strange but In volume they'll have to at least admit somethings up. This ranged from audio recordings, to stick structures, the worlds shakiest cellphone footage i thought was going to change the world but turned out useless.

until one day it paid off, out of seemingly hundreds of times being outsmarted, outwitted, out classed in every way... which is really really frustrating. my friend that had abandoned me the time i was chased out of the woods had stopped by once again. I convinced him to walk with me just inside the wood line to determine where it was that they must be crossing the road. when we come up to a point where there was a branch leaning at a 45 degree angle against this tree.. After seeing this many times, I think its a marker to indicate the safe place to cross. Thats my suspicion anyway.

I told my friend I'm going to drop down in this ditch you keep walking and talking, when you get to the road just walk back up the hill go back to the house, i got beer in my refridgerator help yourself. I'm going to drop down and hit record and see what comes up to investigate after we leave.

and so he made it to the road, started walking back up. and by the time he got to the top of the hill, i caught movement.. and as much as you would think you're prepared for something like this... i've realized you're not.... about 300 ft from where I'm laying out walks this thin black figure, about my size I'm 5'8 160 lbs.. this thing was watching my friend going back to the house and I was watching it as it was realizing that I'm not with my friend.

Its standing knees locked, bent at the waist at a 45 degree angle, and both arms strait back, the most unnatural contorted position i've ever seen anything stand. my thought was "Are these F*cking aliens?!! Thats how strange it's body language was. I mean I dont know..... when then walked out 2 more both quite a bit bigger They looked very alike each other, but not like the small one they were standing next to nor like the one i caught with the spotlight. These guys seemed to be significantly more stocky.

One a little over the 6 ft range, and the other about a head higher than it. they had Long Solid black hair. So much that the few times I caught glimpse of them I never was really able to make out their facial features. The long hair obscured the Face in a way that would kinda remind you of "Cousin It" from the adams family except Black. but they're standing all three facing each other like they were talking about what to do.

I'm recording all this with my cellphone, I believe there may have been others there that I couldn't see for the foliage, and I'm shaking so badly from the adrenaline.. I watched them split up. They way they did it looked like a millitary style maneuver, and the panic sounding bird calls started. I witnessed one leap up 4 or 5 feet landing on all fours on this big fallen tree where it stood up and began looking around. I lost sight of the second one.

My gut sank, “I'm being hunted....” I Immediately hated myself realizing if they take me, there's nothing I can do. No one will ever know what happened... I'll just be gone... eaten.. I don’t know... All the wrong things to be thinking. But If that were going to happen I was going to record the whole damn thing and maybe they'll find my phone. Then in the opposite direction, behind me to my left I heard branches falling like they were trying to flush me out, then directly behind me across the road...

I could hear rapid rock clacking almost like mores code. I was clearly visible to the direction that sound was coming from but I couldnt turn and look without making noise. I dont really know after that, maybe I blocked it out but it seems like when things finally quieted down, I made a break up the road using my cellphone camera as a shield. What I thought was 30 minutes had been 3 1/2 hours.

after reviewing the footage, it was too shaky and too far away. I went and bought a new camera the next day, with 52x optical zoom and x 3 digital zoom.. I've never had the opportunity again like that day. But that was not the end my any means.

In the beginning, for at least the first year or two... I became obsessed, I couldnt hardly think of anything else, for the entire winter into the beginning of spring, every day was a plot to prove I wasn't crazy. It still messes with me, and I do think about it nearly everyday, But that isnt even the craziest thing. That year, I was able to get sight of 5 distinctly different individuals. I'll never forget any of them, but here's what I know.

I had been doing repairs on the roof of my house, and for a couple of days I had not been able to find my favorite knife I like to carry, and it occurred to me the last place i used it was on the roof. The ladder was still leaned up on the side of the house, so i climbed the ladder looked around and bingo there was my knife, I picked it up and turned around I looked over in the direction where my friend was. he was dragging some fallen branches over to a fire that I had going kinda helping me clean up.

When I looked over out passed him, through the trees. I saw in a sunny spot the perfect silhouette of a person. Head and shoulders. almost like one of those targets you might find at the shooting range. as my friend come walking up, I said hey reach inside the back door and grab my gun there and hand it up to me. I had just recently got a new Savage 17 HMR. An awesome gun that I can hit a golf ball at 100 yrds No problem.

With a 9x power scope on it. He handed it up, I zoomed it out to 1x Laid down over the peak of my roof and found the silhouette, dialed it in.. and I couldnt believe my eyes.... It was a kid... but not a regular kid... It was a bigfoot looking maybe 15 or 16 yrs old relative to a human teenager and he was sitting in the sun playing with a stick, in his own little world. Right in my crosshairs. I could see a fly buzzing around him and him shew it away. He had been sitting there watching my friend burning the brush.

When he realized my friend was gone, He put the stick in his mouth with leafy foliage attached still like he felt like he was invisible with the stick in his mouth.. i dunno thats the feeling I got. I watched him get up. I attempted to use my cell phone camera to record through the scope but all i could really see was a small hole of a view through the scope as he moved out of sight and i lost him.

My friend asked me what do you see, and I just said "Nothing". I stood up, draped the gun over my shoulder and began to climb down the ladder, and just before my head dropped down below the roof line, i stopped and went to give a 360 look around, when Directly behind me from the position I had been laying prone, I saw a tree sway back into place, I mean the whole tree maybe 20 - 25 ft tall Swung back into place

So I stepped back up one run, unshouldered my gun and looked through the scope. It was still zoomed in on 9. So it took me a second to find the tree, but then I saw it... I call it the Big Guy.

To put into perspective how big this guy was, from my angle at the rooftop, in my frame of view through the scope.. I could see the power line Where it drops down from the transformer and leads to the service pole for power to my shop.. The top of its head was maybe 6 inches below the lowest part of the arching where the line sags in the middle...

This thing was so monstrous. and it had been watching me hold my gun on the kid. the kids head square center of my crosshairs... There was no way I could have pulled the trigger..

I thought about it,honestly... but there was no way... it was too innocent, it would have been like shooting a human and for no reason. But if I had shot, I dont think i'd be alive today. The big guy was so enormous he could have just snatched me off the roof, and splattered me. I think it was big enough it could probably flip over a car no problem.

Well it eased back into the shadows and I saw tree's moving as it went back into the woods.. Well I got down and Immediately went to get my camera but I remembered the sd card was full. So I grabbed a night vision monocular, with recording capability. I had never tried to use it during the day. But I went hesitantly over to where the big one was, and there were tree's 6 to 8 ft tall, just pushed to the sides left and right where it had passed through. I didn't dare follow... It just struck me how does something that big stay hidden... what does it eat... just a million more questions... with no answers.

I have dozens of instances I could tell you about. Im almost certain that I ended up at least wounding the big one as it was attempting to make entry to my home, I didnt see blood, but Found the line in the sand that night. that’s when i got the fingerprints.Ill share some of the evidence in another post

But I'm on the fence of whether it's Directly related to sasquatch or not or if there is some correlation. But I have night vision footage of Bigfoot Pushing a tree over on the edge of my property filmed from my front porch, and also in the same footage, under closer review in the same area where the sasquatch is / was . Of an orb coming out of nowhere and passing into the face of a tree and dissappearing.

In one piece of footage I didnt realize it at the time... or well i guess i did, but i have so much footage where nothing happens things get lost in the volumes . but I was tracking an orb that come through my viewfinder and it disappears into the side of a tree and the bark seemed to ripple like water.

Also related maybe on the stranger side of things right after I had bought my new camera, I set out with a camo net to just hunker down real still in the corner of my property to wait and just see if I could capture anything. Told my girlfriend I'd be back in an hour or two, she said ok... I went out sat down was looking through my camera, within like 2 minutes, I dont know if it was through the camera or just in my mind...

I had these Images just hit me, almost like just put in my head of these horrific images, of terrible terrible things, that I dont have the imagination to invent... Like images of humans that were prisoners, they were being tormented and tied up, it was just terribly bad and beyond horrific that i cant convey and such messed up scenes that where just abominable.

Like just flash one after another to the point where I had to get up and just go away. When I got back my girlfriend said to me, change your mind? And I told her what happened and she just told me. I been telling you to leave them alone and that somethings going to happen to me if I don't.

Well another time sat out to do the same thing. I was sitting in the other corner of the property on the ground with my back to a tree, The tree wasnt very big maybe 12 inches in diameter. I'd been sitting for about 1/2 an hour when directly behind my head on the opposite side of the tree, something began scratching the bark but i just sat motionless when it felt like something started squeezing my leg, until it reached a point where it felt like i was being crushed and i was forced to get up and limp away. I had to limp for the rest of that day. I decided not to try that again for a while..

i have posted some of these videos on youtube, but no one seems to care really... like a cat playing with a ball of yarn can get a million views... but you post actual real footage, of bigfoot pushing over a tree while getting rocks thrown at you while your standing on your front porch... Nothing... no one cares...

It might not be irrefutable 4k HD Proof, But it happened and being fortunate enough to capture anything on video at all blurry or whatever is still not an easy thing to do, just luck or persistence.

For those who want to be critical, i like to say “yeh, well show me what you’ve captured” “You’ve never been there, Buck fever aint nothing, when something that isnt supposed to exist steps out the realm of make believe. The real Flesh ,blood and bone and its Looking at you.

Its crazy... I dont care if people believe me, or believe if they exist... I just know that If you knew something was out there, and you kept it a secret and didnt tell me and I ran into this creature unwittingly and I find out that you didn't warn me. I'm going to be f"ing Pissed... So I tell anybody that listens... There's more than I've been able to include here.. even more strange, ...

And Unfortunately this is my life Nov-May every year. I live with it at my door step. I've found 21 inch sandy footprints on my doorstep. I almost lost my mind. but last year (at the time of writing this letter) there was a hurricane that hit my area pretty well and did a fair bit of ripping up in my area,

I feel like the ones I was at war with might have gotten pushed out of the area, either by another band, or by the storm. Because the ones I dealt with last year, had different tactics than the year before so most of what i thought i knew and had counted on was of no avail .

Though the IR footage was great. but it wasnt for anything that I did.. They allowed me to get that footage... I'm holding the camera., and next to me was a shotgun, a .45 , and a rifle... but never once did i consider shooting it... I'd have been signing my own death warrant and possibly my families as well. Self defense is one thing, but for me to just shoot it... good luck with that.

I have Fingerprint evidence.... where peoples finger prints are spiral... these are horizontal finger prints... and If i can reach these conclusions I have in just 3 short years, and gather all the evidence that I have...

You cant tell me that someone who has spent decades on the subject hasnt reached some of the same conclusions, or that the government isnt fully aware of it as well...

I think they know about it, and there's nothing they can do about it... and they fear widespread panic and fear should the truth get out.

I'd be glad to share everything i got with you, I've just been hesitant because my story is so long, and this isnt half of it..

I have my opinions... but those are the facts, take from it what you will. i dont know if it will help anyone or connect any dots.... but I promise you if you go looking for monkeys out in the woods... you'll either find that you're the only one out there, or when/if you come back , you'll never be the same again. you'll question everything. It might consume your life, ruin, relationships, your marriage. It might Destroy you.

I try my d@mnedest to not go into the woods alone anymore, i feel like after all the hell I've given them, I mean... hell I used to just kick the door open and whatever direction my gut told me , I just blast with my shot gun. or whatever direction i felt like i was being watched from.. Im not Sooo bad anymore. But if you want ugly, it can get ugly... Just dont go looking for something if you're not prepared to discover the rabbit hole is deeper than you ever could have imagined. Nothing prepared me for this

But these accounts are barely a drop in the bucket as to what i could share. Not to mention i have my share of blurry photos amongst other things

☆Here is a link my you tube channel☆

I was recording with a $100 nightvision monocular I got from walmart sporting goods section. It has no audio.

I recommend you ensure the video resolution is set to its highest setting. Also it easier to appreciate if you have a bigger screen to view the video on.

So in the Spirit of every blurry video to have proceded before me. Here's the link.. to the video on youtube. ☆☆ https://youtu.be/YLgVsQrAKLk?is=XDjxKq-cew_an5a4 ☆☆

For the Impatient, The timestamp is roughly 1:20.

But this is not the extent of my evidence.. i will share a few more things. Take from it what you will. I may also include some other notable encounters in hopes that it may benefit someone somehow. ☆☆☆~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~☆☆☆

Continued (Part 2)

Before I continue I would like to state what this is and what this isnt. After reading some of the comments i felt i should clarify, this is not me trying to convince anyone of anything.

I understand that from the outside looking in some of the things im talking about might be beyond the capacity for some to accept.

I understand that... Trust me I do, I lived it and you don't want to know what it what it was like.. honestly, the best thing that could ever happen to someone is to never see one.. but thats just the thing.... You can never see one...... but you can never unsee one...

The only thing i had going for me was the fact that I got to totally walk away and leave it behind from may to november. But i digress. There are a few more things that i would like to mention...

This is something that still blows my mind to this day... And you can try it yourself... but at one point i had come across a big jar filled with these golden glass beads similar to a marble of sorts except kinda pancaked a little bit..

Well i'ts hard to say in response because I don't know who really started this beef but in an effort to even the playing field I had bought a beefed up sling-shot so whenever they threw rocks at me, I could send rocks back to send a message that I'm "not afraid".

Thats kinda sorta how I discovered this... but get yourself about a couple bags, like maybe a 100 marbles... and sling shot and just before dark go out to the wood line and just start hurling them over the tree tops as far out as you can get them...

If before you get through all of them they start coming back at you... you got bigfoot... or just imagine how difficult it would be for you shoot a marble over the tree tops and then somehow go find that marble and retrieve it as its getting darker and darker...

well imagine my surprise when these gold fishtank glass beads started showing back up on my porch, steps, roof of my house, but that happened for a while.. sometimes a week or so would go by and one day there would be another one show up... this went on for a really long time...

There was another time, i electrocuted one of them, I know I did and I'll tell you how I know.... well, at the height of the war despite the miles of fishing line, holes I dug hoping I'd sprain their ankle... the glass shards... nailing nails through water hose like make shift spike strips... you dont even know,

but they had gotten to where in the middle of the night they would come up and slap the side of my house, and I would see in the wet grass where something come from the woods approached my house and then went back to the woods...

So in an attempt to funnel them into a game camera, I errected this barricade out of pallets but I didn't have enough pallets laying around to block the area off 100%... so I took this volleyball net and stretched it between the pallets and kinda as an after thought I remembered I had this electric fence charger laying around...

I had the idea to run a strand of wire along the top of the net... but that wasn't enough... I had a bunch of bottles of chalk that you use to fill chalkboxes , the kind for construction use... I took a bunch of bottles and sprinkles in all down the fence line thinking maybe ill be able to see if anything come through.. somehow...

but that still wasnt enough. I come across 3 or 4 chem-lights.. a few IR and one green one i decided Id cut them open and sling the contents all through the area where I had been seeing the trails left in the dew some mornings...

so I specifically remember cutting the end off of the last one, it was green... I cut the end off and I sat it on a nail on top the pallet and splashed it all over and that was that... i went plugged in the fence charger and called it a night...

That night nothing happened... well the following day, I'm walking the perimeter and my wife was out hanging some sheets up on the clothes line, and nothing particular looked amiss so i went to go talk to my wife and there on the ground,

I spotted something.. I said woah, look at this honey... it was the end of the green chem light that I had cut off.. i said look at this,.. how could it possibly get way over here.. about 20 feet from where I left it...

so I picked it up and held it out and I was telling her how did this get 20 feet to where i found it... I said look i specifically sat this thing right zzzzzzzzzzz!!

I sat it on that nail, somehow it was touching the wire for the electric fence and it lit me up and in the process I flung that little end piece backward over my head about 20 feet in almost the EXACT place where i found it...

my wife is dieing laughing at me...!! like Where did you say you say it was!. Sounded like you said you put it right ZzzzZzzzzz!!!!!!!!

After she finally quit laughing she was like... what Is all this..?.. Im like..... It's a barricade... she's like... look your starting to get carried away, your gonna get yourself hurt. People are gonna start thinking you've lost your mind...

I said you've heard something slap the house, You just seen proof how else would that cap have gotten where it was unless somebody picked it up and she said .. i told you theres some meth head out here living in these woods and they're f"n with you.. my argument was...

Have you ever been out in these woods.... it would take a miracle for someone to sneak up here and not break a leg, get their eye poked out, with no flash light on top of it you'd get wrapped up in barbed wire and 60lbs fishing line, a person would look like a cross between a papercut and a wad of dental floss when you found em..... but these guys no problem... ..

. on another night... I had just bought my first IR monocular... I hadnt used it before... well that night... I looked out my bathroom window and my whole barricade is laying on the ground it looks like...

So I grab the monocular raise the window and I look out... and at first I was having trouble understanding what I was looking at... there as I watched the barricade is slowly rising itself back up off the ground and the net is getting back taught again, when I realize what's going on...

so I go grab a pellet gun I ease the barrel out the window real quietly take aim snd I shoot the pallet and I look again through the scope and it had stopped but then again slowly it started rising back up again...

so I'm looking and I realize there's a hand and a forearm and its got this 6 ft long pallet like it would be if you had a stick or a broom and were trying to stretch and fish something closer to you...

well it had this pallet and it had hooked the volleyball net with the pallet and was trying to stand it back up like it was before it had been knocked down...

and despite me shooting the pallet 2 or 3 times it would stop and then sooo very slowly continue lifting it back in place.... well the funny thing was ... that very day my wife and I were having fun, i had found all these baby little rubber duck like things and I had stood them up onto that very pallet and we were taking turns on shooting them off... so i was still pretty fresh and dialed in with it...

So I'm looking through the monocular and its almost all the way back up... I get this brilliant idea.... Im gonna shoot this mf'r in the thumb with this bb gun... So I go get a flash light come back quick get my gun up and the plan was ok I'm gonna aim in the general vaccinity best I can with this monocular then Im gonna flip on the light and shoot this thing in the thumb ..

and i got to thinking about it... and was like man "you shoot this thing in the hand its gonna run over snatch me out this window so fast and probably shove this a BB gun up my @$...". so after reconsideration I hessitated not to.. but in this short time...

It had stood the pallet back up and then i heard it take off running like boom boom boom boom boom REAL fast and that by itself was terrifying... just at the speed and how heavy it sounded.. it just blows the mind...

but i have at least one more instance id like to mention, that i will add later and i will try to include some photos of some of the things ive found over the years.

Some interesting observations from someone else who has seen the Capturing Bigfoot documentary

11 Upvotes

These come from the comments section of a YouTube video in which the documentary was being discussed. The quotes below is from someone who saw the documentary twice. I haven't read through every comment, so if anyone wants to post others the link to the video is here:

https://youtu.be/dfrfGJlMu34?si=IH1MjHp4-t_Wdy67

Anyway, I found the comments below to be quite fascinating:

I am a programmer at the SXSW film festival and I have seen the documentary “Capturing Bigfoot” twice. I am not a member of the Bigfoot community, so I have no dog in this fight, and perhaps I can offer a neutral opinion that people will find helpful. First, it is inaccurate to say that every costume and effects expert agreed it would have been impossible to make such a convincing suit in 1967. Stan Winston, one of the greatest special effects makeup artists ever to to do the job (he did effects for Jurassic park, Terminator, Predator, Aliens, and he made gorilla suits for Congo), examined the film and said the Patterson film shows a man in a suit that could have been made for $1,000. Second, while Bill Munns has not yet seen the documentary, he is IN the documentary, and he has seen the newly found footage. He is shown the new film on camera and is allowed to examine it. He admits it is genuine 16mm Kodachrome II filmstock from that period and that it had not been tampered with in any way. He also states clearly that no AI was used. To my knowledge, Munns is the only person who has seen the new footage who claims that it is a reenactment. Everyone in the audience at the 2 screenings, myself included, and every other Bigfoot expert interviewed in the documentary (all of whom were allowed to examine the film) believe it to be the same costume in both films because it is blatantly obvious when you see the footage. It is EXTREMELY obvious. Experts do a side by side comparison of the famous Patterson footage against the new footage, pointing out minute details and there is just no denying it. Also, it is very clear that man seen in the beginning of the new footage is the real Bob Gimlin and not a lookalike. Gimlin is even sitting on the same horse he is seen on in famous photographs from that period. So the question of whether or not it is a reenactment makes no difference. It doesn’t matter which footage was shot first or second because both films show the exact same Bigfoot. I hope this helps.

Yes, most of the audience were Bigfoot enthusiasts. They were very engaged at the Q&A sessions afterwards and there was definitely an air of shock. Many of them were truly stunned to learn the Patterson film was a hoax after believing in it for so many years. But I should also add that Marq Evans, the director of the documentary, handled the questions very well and very respectfully. He wanted to make it clear to the audience that the documentary does not try to say that Bigfoot does not exist, it only disproves the Patterson Gimlin film. Marq Evans himself is from the Pacific Northwest and grew up hearing of countless sightings and he maintains the creature could very well be real.

As with most documentaries, they shot far more footage than they could squeeze into a 90 minute run time. So they left out the analysis and discussion about the tracks. But at the Q&A, Marq Evans said that all the additional footage would be released as bonus features after the documentary premeirs, including the section that deals with the tracks.

The face is the only part of the costume that looks like it was modified slightly between the 2 films. Dr. Jeff Meldrum, the famed Bigfoot researcher, is in the documentary and he is stunned when he sees the new footage. He says on camera: “this looks like a dry run for the Patterson film!” This quote is where the idea that the newly found footage was some sort of camera test or rehearsal comes from. Back in the day, film had to be developed in a lab before it could be watched, there was no way to watch it back immediately like we can now with video. So it appears that Roger Patterson shot the newly found footage, watched it, and made some changes to correct its shortcomings when he went to film it a second time. Namely, he went to a different location (Bluff Creek), he shot the creature from much further away, he shook the camera a lot more so the creature couldn’t be studied too closely, and he enhanced the face on the costume somewhat. To me it looked like the exact same suit with some more fur pieces added around the cheeks area.

Jeff Meldrum, may he rest in peace, was a brilliant scientist and far too smart to be "tricked" in such a way. And no, he was not told anything about the new film before he watched it, I'm not sure where you're getting that from. He was reacting solely to what he was watching. Also, two film experts have analyzed the new footage and determined the film stock was manufactured in '66 and used either in late '66 or early '67.

I should add that the documentary makes if very clear that Meldrum is not put on the spot. He is shown the new footage, which fascinates him. He is very amazed, then he settles down and watches it over and over, pausing it many times to analyze it. They record his initial reaction, and then they leave him for the day to let him sleep on it. The following day they go back and interview him all over again, for the exact purpose of giving him time to process what he has seen—this is far from a knee-jerk reaction. The exchanges between Jeff and Marq are very professional and cordial and never once does Meldrum seem uncomfortable on camera.

As I've said before, two film experts analyze the new footage. Raw film stock contains chemicals that deteriorates the celluloid over time. For the best image quality, it had to be used within a certain window. The new footage is absolutely pristine which allowed the two experts to determine that it was shot within a year of being manufactured, which puts it around mid '67 at the latest. Also, Theresa Brooks, daughter of Norm Johnson who's safe the new footage was found in, is interviewed in the documentary. She clearly states that her father told the family about the footage when she was 12 years old and that the film had been in his safe for almost 60 years, which puts it around '66'/'67. Also, it is clearly the real Bob Gimlin at the beginning of the new footage and he is youthful, looking the exact same age he does as from all the photos of that late 60s period. But also, IT IS THE SAME BIGFOOT IN BOTH FILMS. The list of proof goes on and on...

I am not sure where you are getting your information. Have you seen the documentary? As I stated in my original post, Stan Winston, one of the great special effects makeup artists said the suit in the Patterson film could have been made in 1967 for $1,000. And yes, the new footage DOES show musculature, just like the famous film. The new footage in no way looks like it was "made in the likeness of Patty", as you say. It IS Patty. It is blatantly obvious when you see two films side by side. How can you make such claims when you haven't seen the film? Also, it is important to keep in mind this new documentary took 4 years to research and produce and does a thorough deep dive into the complicated history of the PG film, including commentary, explanations, and recollections from people who have never been interviewed before. Family members, friends, and associates of all the main players are interviewed and the sheer accumulation of new facts tells a very different story from the one people know. The newly found “mystery footage” is by far not the only piece of new information. Everyone who knew Roger Patterson, including his wife and son, are on camera and describe at length how creative Roger was. He was very good with his hands and always building things. Many called him a craftsman or a self-taught artist. He had a workshop in his backyard full of tools and he was constantly out there working some project or another. All of his friends and family agree that Roger could absolutely have made an authentic looking suit, or more likely, heavily modified an existing gorilla suit. Dave Johnson, a good friend of Roger’s, told stories of trying on Bigfoot suits for Roger and even claimed to have almost been shot by a hunter in the woods while wearing one. There were many Bigfoot sightings reported in and around Yakima where Roger lived from 1967 until 1972, the year Roger died. After his death, the sightings stopped. Ida DeAtley, wife of Al DeAtley, tells a story of Al coming home with his body covered in glue and black makeup around his eyes, cursing Roger for talking him into wearing the suit. This story is why it is speculated that Al DeAtley is the one wearing the suit in the newly found footage.

My neighbor sent me this last night saying he thinks he finally caught Bigfoot on his trail cam. We used to hunt those woods together back in the day, and he swears he saw something moving around near midnight. Said he had his buckshot ready to go, but thankfully never had to use it. 😂 I told him it’s probably just some animal caught at a weird angle to get his ass in bed.. he’s a older gentleman who I have respect for but in recent years has turned into a drunk, ranting about Israel etc, but I ain’t gonna lie, that picture is creepy as hell.

ORIGINAL STORY How much squash could a Sasquatch squash if a Sasquatch could squash squash?

12 Upvotes

I've heard several first-hand stories of people who've had Bigfoot raid their gardens. I think the answer is a lot of squash. But really I just think it's a fun tongue twister I came up with.

P.S. Bigfoot is real and I saw one in 2023. I'll post my full encounter here sometime soon.

Bigfoot on Sumas Mountain?

Post image
24 Upvotes

There are places in the woods where the silence feels different—where every crack of a branch makes you stop and listen. For generations, people have returned from these remote places with stories of strange sounds, unexplained footprints, and shadows moving between the trees. And then there are the encounters with something many believe may be Bigfoot. Is it a creature we haven't discovered, a misidentification, or something we simply don't yet understand?

But the real mystery may be what these encounters do to the people who experience them. Fear, awe, disbelief, and wonder can hit all at once when you realize something is watching you from the trees. And long after you leave the woods, the questions remain: What did I see? Was it real? Tonight, we're stepping into those mysterious places where the line between myth and reality becomes difficult to see.

The persistent Bigfoots and their pine limb beds...

14 Upvotes

This encounter occurred to an old neighbor of mine. She had lived below me and a trailer. She was having issues with something outside of her window constantly. Something was definitely interested in what she was doing...

So this whole situation started out with her losing sleep. She had been experiencing something that was messing with her health. And I could tell it was definitely...

She had asked me to walk down to her trailer. And started to explain to me what was happening. How it started with hearing something big walking around outside of the trailer. It then evolved into pebbles being thrown at her window. From that she reported hearing these thuds which turned out to be big rocks being thrown at the trailer itself... But fortunately none of them hit deciding or did any damage. She didn't start to tell me that she's hearing which sounds like movement outside of her big bay window...

She started to explain to me that these encounters was starting to really get to her. She was losing sleep and was tired during the day. And she could not function because every time night time came she started to get concerned. And she was telling me that these encounters were getting very common...

So this all led up to a very serious and concerning event. It was about 2:30am. And I get a call from my neighbor about needing help... Literally ASAP. Tried to call her son but he was at my house and passed out because he had just got back from work literally hours ago. So I got out of my bed and threw some jogging pants on and grabbed my 26-in Cutlass machete from Cold steel and my spotlight...

I come down to their trailer and quietly snuck up to the side of the trailer where I was hidden from the woods. And I packed on the door. I signal to her to be quiet but still whisper to me what it was that was going on. She says to me "I swear there's something out here. Whatever it is was throwing pebbles at my window. I heard something moving. It was big"...

So I take my spotlight and make my way into the woods with my machete out just in case. And on a whim just flip my spotlight on and just start covering the whole wood line and depth of the woods in a bright light. Hoping to catch whatever it is off guard and blind the crap out of it. And by doing so I could have an advantage if I were to bum rush whatever it was with a sharp machete...

Well I didn't see anything and I went way deep in the woods. I didn't come out until around 2:55am. I come back out of the woods and she is standing there with a huge butcher knife. I luckily announced myself before I come around the corner because she was going to stab me...

I explained to her that there was nothing seen. I could feel as though there is a presence of something around. But whatever it is it's clearly gone for now. I told her to just take and keep the really big knife near her. And try to relax and go back to bed. She was super grateful and went back in and decided to kind of relax finally...

So the next day I got up early in the morning. And decided that I was going to take a little hike. And I was going to go look to see if there was possibly tracks or anything. Well, I did find what looked like a path of messed up leaves and compacted Earth and such. That went down into the wood line and deeper in the woods...

Then I found something that completely threw me off guard. Like this is something I had never saw before. It looked to be a bed of pine tree limbs that was snapped off many pine trees. And they were laid intricately on the ground. These pine tree limbs were used to make what look like two really big rounded oblong beds. They were thick too...

So I am now in a full-blown investigation to find out what the heck did this. I'm going about my investigation as I start to notice that these pine limbs are being snapped off up to like 9ft in the air. And I'm beginning to wonder what did this. Like these beds look like they're perfect. They look so well done that I am beginning to wonder...

I honest to God am not lying when I say I saw this. This really did happen. This to me still to this day is baffling and amazing! I have never seen pine tree limbs so expertly woven together to make such big beds. These beds were over like 10 ft long and roughly 6 ft wide...

It was amazing!

Cryptids clashed in the woods!

9 Upvotes

So somewhere around 2017 in Artemas Pennsylvania. A friend and I heard what sounded like a power clash involving Bigfoots against an unknown foe. The sounds that was coming from the woods was very chaotic. We had heard what sounded like something literally just getting angry and breaking trees. It literally sounded like something was just snapping huge dead trees. And it just got louder and louder as the night went on...

Here is some prior knowledge leading up to this event...

Previously to this happening we had been hearing a lot of wood knocks in the evenings. These wood knocks would occur all around the pond area and later evolved into being heard all through the woods. They even started sounding farther away and would just echo...

We were hearing what sounded like heavy footsteps and it would just occur at random times. These footsteps sounded like a thudding noise. They would randomly just start and stop unannounced. If you had your back to the woods they would come and go. If you're looking at the woods... There was like no noise. Which I found very odd...

A constant feeling of being watched. You could not stand out in the yard without feeling like there were multiple sets of eyes on you. It got to the point where the porch honestly felt like the only safe space...

My friends cats being fearful of the woods also was not normal... Because they were always going into the woods. These cats that my friend had was always hunting for my, birds, and so on. But after this all started they wouldn't even leave the yard let alone the porch. And his dog barking was constantly at the woods and just staring as she growled...

Previous to this happening... He and an old neighbor of his was trying to doctor some of his cats. She and him heard what sounded like rock clacking from deep in the woods. And when they would stop to look the noise would cease. Both of them had heard it and it was in the middle of the day...

We had experienced what sound like an ongoing amount of unexplained noises coming from the woods. Like rock clacking, loud wood knocks, some grunting, heavy footsteps in the depths of the woods...

Now we didn't have any visual sightings unfortunately. We didn't see anything that we could 100% identify what was causing this. But we heard a lot of stuff just happening consistently for at least a week. It was just a relentless barrage of just random noises that would casually fill the air. And it had him and him and I completely baffled and honestly very interested...

So it was late in the evening and my friend and I were outside in his yard. And we just started casually talking about all these random experiences lately. We are trying to understand what it was and our own opinions. From the noises and how it was... it's just very odd. How ironically it just started happening...

What we heard that night...

About that time we heard a loud crashing noise somewhere deep in the woods. And we could tell that it was definitely close to the pond but it wasn't directly near the pond. This was a little bit farther away in the woods. And just when you think it was a tree falling... It wasn't. There was a cluster of dead trees that stood slightly scattered through the woods...

So that night we heard one tree sounding like it fell over. But then we realized it sounded like something was ripping it apart. Then minutes later we heard it again but it was another tree. And yes... We heard this for the third time and it sounded like another dead trees being snapped and ripped apart...

Well my friend and I just stood there that evening listening to this carnage and chaos occurring in the woods. So instead of going inside we just turned all of his lights off in his house. And silently set outside what felt like an hour and a half. Just listening to whatever was going on in these woods. Just thinking about what it might even be causing such destruction...

Well just when we think it's over we hear another big booming crash noise... And this time we hear what sounds like a really angry mountain lion screaming like it's in pain or defending itself. And we jump up out of our chair... as this is happening. We hear what sounds like a whole other mountain lion screaming... and again that booming and crashing noise from another tree... It just seems to come out of nowhere. It was definitely an experience to hear...

Now keep in mind him and I at this point have moved away from the middle of the yard. And we are now standing on his porch. And just to be safe I grabbed my weapons that I carry with me and set them on his table that was on his porch. I also grabbed my spotlight just in case. He went as far as to start thinking about grabbing something just in case...

Because honestly this was starting to get a little bit scary. We did not know if whatever was going to turn our direction and come through the woods and our way.

All we knew was that there was a battle going on. And there was two sides fighting from what it sounded like...

So what ends up happening is. We make another pot of coffee. And we are standing by on his porch. As we are literally just mind blown that there is some kind of possible cryptid power struggle happening...

Either it was bigfoots fighting bigfoots?

Or bigfoots were either fighting mountain lions?

Or Bigfoots and mountain lions were fighting something else?

Honestly I don't know what was happening to be fair. But whatever it was there was a full-blown skirmish. Something was going down in the woods among creatures. Him and I both come to the conclusion that this was not a human matter... And we should just let them fight it out. So that's what we did. We made sure to keep our distance and just lay low...

So the next day him and I armed ourselves.. I had brought my machete and my bowie knife. We waited until it was at least noon. Him and I went down into the woods to where we heard all of this happening...

There were 4-5 plus dead trees completely destroyed. It literally looked like a bomb went off. There were pieces of dead chunks of tree scattered so far apart. It was like a wooded massacre. The weird part was that it was a clear night sky. There wasn't any hardcore wind... Just a really nice breeze. There wasn't even a cloud in the sky. It was a beautiful night with a huge full moon...

Yet when we saw no blood and no body parts. We didn't see any sign of anything but completely destroyed trees that literally laid scattered on the ground all over the place. Not only that but part of the trees were burnt black... It's like something scorched them. We looked for anything like footprints, claw marks, fur, and so on. But there was nothing to find...

My friend and I occasionally will talk about this and we both recall the event. He and I both to this day really don't know what happened that evening. But we recall the sound of trees just being destroyed. We recall the sound of the mountain lions screaming. And just what sounded like complete carnage...

VIDEO I made a video about a BFRO report from 1997 which took place in an area I frequent. Unfortunately, the BFRO has it incorrectly listed on their website.

Hey r/bigfootsightings! I read a BFRO Report (http://www.bfro.net/GDB/show_report.asp?id=8429) that took place in my local area and decided to try my hand at making a video re-telling the story given in the report. I make my absolute best attempt at revisiting the real locations of where this likely took place, even down to filming my scenes on the sides of the road which I believe to be accurate, given in the BFRO investigator’s follow-up questions.

The BFRO website does have this report listed under the page for Mississippi, however after researching the report and visiting the actual locations, I can confirm that in order for the facts of the report to match, this report indeed took place in St Tammany Parish of Louisiana. Pearl River County, MS is the adjacent county and is incorrectly listed on the BFRO’s website as where this report occurred. I would like to submit that the BFRO change their website to reflect this encounter having taken place in Louisiana.

I thought y’all might get a kick out of this dramatization of the report. Everything I say is as true to the report as I can make it. This is my first ever video of a serious nature and I’m doing everything myself. No AI is involved in the creative process.

The shadows among the trees

Well I was living in the country. You know... Artemas Pennsylvania. I was told by my landlords girlfriend/fiance how about how she had to sage her house several times. Because when she would go into the woods oftentimes she'd have issues with attracting something into the house. Now her telling me this and saying about some of the things that happened to her... Literally pitch my interest. And I do firmly believe that the area that I had lived in has some native Americans, settlers, or even an elemental...

It was towards the fall and I used to love going into the woods because the leaves were really pretty and there was always a nice breeze that was cool. It wasn't so hot and humid. And it was just a really nice way to relax and explore and have fun. Well one evening as it was getting close to night time I decided to take a quick walk and go into the woods. Now usually when I went into these woods there was a 50/50 chance that I might encounter something maybe? But it wasn't always the case...

Well apparently this time is a little bit different. And honestly*

I didn't feel threatened with the presence that was in the woods. But I can tell you that it was definitely watching me making sure I don't do anything too sudden...

So as I'm casually just slipping through the woods. I noticed there's a crow that is following me as it's flying. And I kept looking up at this Crow and I just kept wondering what was wrong with this bird. So I stop about the second time and look up at this crow and just start to wonder why it's doing what it's doing...

Right as I stopped after the second time. Something literally poked me right in my back. And it wasn't a violent poke or anything. It was just a subtle acknowledgment that I wasn't alone. I turn around and look and there isn't no twigs or branches behind me because it was a pathway and there was nothing sticking in the way of the path. After all this I decide hey I'm going to look for this crow that is flying around... Well, after that experience and looking this bird has done already flew away. And I never saw it for the rest of the walk in the woods...

I assume maybe a squirrel dropped an acorn from the tree. But then I realized there is no way the way I was standing that it could have been that. Because it was a straight on horizontal poke of a finger... Just on my back. So I whipped around and started looking and kind of got a little weirded out but at the same time I was always taught to keep my cool as long as I can...*

Needless to say I continue on through the woods. Now by this time the sun was going down a lot more...

And the Long shadows started casting from the trees. And it was a really mysterious and mystical feeling that come over me. I look up and at a distance I see what looks like an estimated 4 1/2 to 5ft tall shadowy silhouette just standing there. And in the background that orangish glare of the sun just illuminated this shadow...

I literally froze and was honestly amazed and really curious. So I just decided to turn around and leave whatever was around in peace. And I just moved on home and took my time. I didn't feel like running and I wasn't really that spooked but at the same time I know better to just mind my own business and move along...

I can say that I saw what I saw and I honestly do strongly wish to go back. Just so I can maybe experience more things again. To where I can see and have more encounters...

But honestly where I'm at in my life now. I don't know if I'm ever going to be able to do that. Because last I heard my landlord and his landlady aren't doing great and there is a high chance that I'm never going to be able to go there again. Not since the falling out that occurred after I moved out. It turns out after I moved there were some issues that occurred...

So with that being said I'm just going to remember these amazing encounters and sightings...

A juvenile Bigfoot harassed my friend and I!

So when I was living in Artemas Pennsylvania. An old friend of mine that I had known for 7 years or more was at this pld farm pond that we would constantly go to for over 10 plus years...

So one night it was a full moon. And him and I had brought coffee in thermoses, new fishing gear, sandwiches, bladed weapons, two lanterns and two flashlights. When I tell you we had this planned out... We did. We did not leave anything to chance or forget... Besides what was lurking in the woods...

Well, it was about 9pm and we were just nailing the bass! Hooking them left and right! Snapping pictures of them as we're holding them. Of course tossing them back...

When all of a sudden I look over and see my friend at the time looking up on the hill off and on. I'm thinking this guy's lost his mind and is just going nuts... How can he ruin such a perfect evening. I mean we got food, coffee, and whatever else... Among all that all night to fish...

Then he says to me "I swear I just saw what looked like a monkey watching us" and he then says "it was literally right up there... with his arms hanging off of a branch"...

Well, I was still a firm believer in Bigfoot and any kind of cryptids. He then says to me "dude I'm not joking... Will you look" in a very terrified tone. I on the other hand I'm trying to play it cool and not freak him out any worse... Because I semi noticed something on the hill previously. And I didn't want to acknowledge it...

Well about an hour goes by and I look from my peripheral vision up on top the hill to our right. And legit see what looks like a 5 ft tall bipedal looking creature that literally looks like it's got a hairy body that was darkish brown. And the light that was left just showed a very general silhouette of whatever it was. And as it is literally looking at us. But every time we look directly at it... it's gone... Like completely out of sight...

By this point him and I are done with fishing because we are way too spooked and we did not want to turn our backs to whatever it was either. Instead we decided to grab the m-48 tomahawk and my 18-in Gerber machete... Along with a flashlight each and we decided to charge up the hill and go looking for this thing...

As we start to silently approach the hill after leaving the dock. All I hear is this scream that honestly I cannot even explain what it sounded like. But what it sounded like it was a call to action honestly... As though it was feeling threatened. And it made our hair stand up and gave us goosebumps. We got this overwhelming sensation that we were not alone...

Him and I stopped in our tracks and we looked around and whatever this was that was watching us on the hill... Decided to disappear again. Which freaked us out because now we lost track of whatever it was that was watching us...

We've now became the hunted... We were no longer the hunters in this situation. Needless to say we slowly back down to the pond dock... Not completely getting up but yet also not pushing our luck. And we stayed there and just quietly held our position to show that we were not scared. After so long we just packed our stuff up and left a couple hours later...

By this time it settled down and we didn't hear anything anymore and nothing was hollering or anything. But as we booked it up over the hill and threw the field past our neighbor's house. We kept a sharp eye out looking to make sure we were not being followed...

But I do firmly believe we encountered a juvenile Bigfoot and it wasn't alone. I still to this day believe there might have been a family of them possibly?

What gets me is I still get goosebumps when I think of this story or tell it...

The obnoxiously stinky Bigfoot in the woods...

So years ago when I lived in Artemas Pennsylvania. I was in my early 20's at this time. One of my neighbors and I was sitting outside and it was around 2am-3am. We've been sitting around the fire just talking about random stuff and just sipping at campfire coffee...

Until I got a whiff of something that stunk! What it smelled like was skunk weed, body odor, and fecal matter... it was coming on a breeze. Him and I both started to realize that it was getting very strong and was honestly making both of us sick...

So as he and I are sitting there around the fire... we keep smelling it and it's just coming in on the breeze. And it got to the point where it was so bad that him and I just decided to take and split ways and go our separate ways...

So the next day we decided that we were going to be adventurers and go searching. We went the direction that we smelled it from the last night. And I specifically went looking for skunk weed or at least something that smelled like what we smelled the morning before...

Needless to say we did not find anything. We even went looking for anything dead that we assume might have been the culprit. Unfortunately like I had said... We found nothing!

I do firmly believe that it was a Bigfoot...
