case number a 0-0 3-1 Sasquatch

6
00:00:32,850 --> 00:00:30,880
incidents in North Georgia I don't like

7
00:00:34,950 --> 00:00:32,860
the term researcher so I would say I'm a

8
00:00:36,690 --> 00:00:34,960
Bigfoot enthusiast who has read a ton of

9
00:00:38,790 --> 00:00:36,700
books on the topic seen every

10
00:00:40,799 --> 00:00:38,800
documentary listen to many Sasquatch

11
00:00:43,410 --> 00:00:40,809
podcasts and have backpacked into what I

12
00:00:45,110 --> 00:00:43,420
consider a very active area haven't seen

13
00:00:47,490 --> 00:00:45,120
a creature but I had two unbelievable

14
00:00:49,560 --> 00:00:47,500
experiences this year the first

15
00:00:51,900 --> 00:00:49,570
experience happened at a campground I

16
00:00:54,060 --> 00:00:51,910
was awakened at around 4:00 a.m. by a

17
00:00:55,860 --> 00:00:54,070
pack of howling coyotes about three

18
00:00:57,299 --> 00:00:55,870
seconds after the coyotes started

19
00:00:59,250 --> 00:00:57,309
howling all of a sudden this roaring

20
00:01:01,350 --> 00:00:59,260
Yahoo type of scream that sounded like

21
00:01:03,810 --> 00:01:01,360
it was coming from all sides completely

22
00:01:05,490 --> 00:01:03,820
drowned out the Coyotes it was so loud

23
00:01:07,110 --> 00:01:05,500
and powerful that I could feel the

24
00:01:09,300 --> 00:01:07,120
vibrations coming up through the ground

25
00:01:11,460 --> 00:01:09,310
through my sleeping bag clearly nothing

26
00:01:13,320 --> 00:01:11,470
I've ever heard before I've heard other

27
00:01:15,300 --> 00:01:13,330
people describe a loud roaring Yahoo

28
00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:15,310
sound with these creatures coupled with

29
00:01:18,510 --> 00:01:16,810
the fact that I have studied this

30
00:01:21,390 --> 00:01:18,520
mystery for so long I knew right away

31
00:01:23,130 --> 00:01:21,400
that had to be a Bigfoot this Yahoo roar

32
00:01:24,810 --> 00:01:23,140
was so loud that the creature couldn't

33
00:01:26,670 --> 00:01:24,820
have been more than a hundred yards for

34
00:01:28,709 --> 00:01:26,680
me which is a little strange in itself

35
00:01:30,779 --> 00:01:28,719
because one side of the campground is a

36
00:01:32,670 --> 00:01:30,789
pretty busy road but nonetheless the

37
00:01:34,770 --> 00:01:32,680
area in general of this campground is

38
00:01:36,569 --> 00:01:34,780
surrounded by forests the second

39
00:01:39,090 --> 00:01:36,579
experience happened thirty days later

40
00:01:41,669 --> 00:01:39,100
once again not far from where the first

41
00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:41,679
experience had occurred this time I was

42
00:01:45,090 --> 00:01:43,450
staying at a second campground that was

43
00:01:47,700 --> 00:01:45,100
much more secluded and deeper in the

44
00:01:49,950 --> 00:01:47,710
forest in North Georgia it was around 6

45
00:01:51,660 --> 00:01:49,960
p.m. I and other campers were standing

46
00:01:53,340 --> 00:01:51,670
around talking about some of the hiking

47
00:01:55,260 --> 00:01:53,350
we had done earlier that day other

48
00:01:56,399 --> 00:01:55,270
people were out and about getting their

49
00:01:58,770 --> 00:01:56,409
campfire started

50
00:02:00,690 --> 00:01:58,780
also there was a campground host who was

51
00:02:02,910 --> 00:02:00,700
walking around introducing himself with

52
00:02:05,550 --> 00:02:02,920
a clipboard making sure people had paid

53
00:02:07,410 --> 00:02:05,560
and also joined in the conversations it

54
00:02:09,270 --> 00:02:07,420
was at this time that all of a sudden

55
00:02:10,889 --> 00:02:09,280
roughly 50 yards uphill on a ridge

56
00:02:13,260 --> 00:02:10,899
overlooking the campground that tree

57
00:02:14,880 --> 00:02:13,270
comes crashing down moments after the

58
00:02:16,710 --> 00:02:14,890
tree had hit the ground I and all the

59
00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:16,720
others that were standing around talking

60
00:02:21,030 --> 00:02:18,970
heard what can only be described as a

61
00:02:22,380 --> 00:02:21,040
loud guttural grunt the kind of grunt

62
00:02:25,020 --> 00:02:22,390
you would hear out of a silverback

63
00:02:26,610 --> 00:02:25,030
gorilla all of us were startled and were

64
00:02:28,290 --> 00:02:26,620
asking each other what the heck crashed

65
00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:28,300
that tree and then made that deep

66
00:02:32,070 --> 00:02:30,490
guttural grunt sound one of the other

67
00:02:34,350 --> 00:02:32,080
campers even mentioned that it was

68
00:02:36,180 --> 00:02:34,360
probably a Bigfoot the other campers

69
00:02:38,050 --> 00:02:36,190
laughed but I didn't think it was too

70
00:02:40,089 --> 00:02:38,060
funny because if one of those

71
00:02:41,940 --> 00:02:40,099
was nearby who he possibly could be

72
00:02:43,990 --> 00:02:41,950
looking at a very dangerous situation

73
00:02:46,300 --> 00:02:44,000
thankfully nothing happened after that

74
00:02:48,640 --> 00:02:46,310
but here is where the story gets really

75
00:02:50,949 --> 00:02:48,650
weird at the back of this campground is

76
00:02:52,650 --> 00:02:50,959
a dirt road this road can be used for

77
00:02:55,150 --> 00:02:52,660
hiking or travel during hunting season

78
00:02:56,949 --> 00:02:55,160
one of my favorite things to do when I'm

79
00:02:59,229 --> 00:02:56,959
backpacking or camping is to wake up

80
00:03:01,720 --> 00:02:59,239
early get a fire going and have me a

81
00:03:04,030 --> 00:03:01,730
nice hot cup of coffee I got up that

82
00:03:06,339 --> 00:03:04,040
morning around 6:00 a.m. got my fire

83
00:03:08,020 --> 00:03:06,349
going and fresh coffee made as I'm

84
00:03:09,910 --> 00:03:08,030
sipping on my coffee out of the dirt

85
00:03:12,190 --> 00:03:09,920
road at the back of the campground comes

86
00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:12,200
this white SUV completely blacked out

87
00:03:16,270 --> 00:03:13,850
with a big huge sticker of a paddy

88
00:03:17,890 --> 00:03:16,280
silhouette stuck to the back window me

89
00:03:19,479 --> 00:03:17,900
being the believer in the existence of

90
00:03:21,820 --> 00:03:19,489
these creatures have a few similar

91
00:03:23,410 --> 00:03:21,830
stickers on my back window so I took

92
00:03:26,289 --> 00:03:23,420
what I was seeing is a friendly visit

93
00:03:28,420 --> 00:03:26,299
from a fellow Bigfoot enthusiast I took

94
00:03:30,220 --> 00:03:28,430
it upon myself to casually walk up and

95
00:03:31,839 --> 00:03:30,230
say hello and see if there was anything

96
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:31,849
we could talk about regarding any

97
00:03:36,009 --> 00:03:34,010
creature activity in the area as I

98
00:03:38,410 --> 00:03:36,019
approached the driver of the SUV rolled

99
00:03:40,690 --> 00:03:38,420
his window down about half way and I

100
00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:40,700
immediately noticed something odd first

101
00:03:45,009 --> 00:03:42,890
there were two guys in the SUV and they

102
00:03:47,259 --> 00:03:45,019
were both dressed in full tacked to

103
00:03:49,150 --> 00:03:47,269
ar-15s on a gun rack at the back of the

104
00:03:50,530 --> 00:03:49,160
Interior with both gentlemen having

105
00:03:52,569 --> 00:03:50,540
military-style boots

106
00:03:54,729 --> 00:03:52,579
pistols at the ankles black beanies and

107
00:03:56,530 --> 00:03:54,739
sunglasses I mean these guys were

108
00:03:58,420 --> 00:03:56,540
completely decked out like a law

109
00:04:00,729 --> 00:03:58,430
enforcement would be but there was no

110
00:04:01,569 --> 00:04:00,739
badge just complete tactical dress from

111
00:04:03,370 --> 00:04:01,579
head to toe

112
00:04:05,620 --> 00:04:03,380
I then playfully asked are you guys

113
00:04:07,930 --> 00:04:05,630
looking for Bigfoot the driver of the

114
00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:07,940
SUV then said to me why do you ask

115
00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:10,130
I replied I see the Bigfoot sticker at

116
00:04:13,539 --> 00:04:11,930
the back of your vehicle I have a couple

117
00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:13,549
of those on the back window of my car

118
00:04:18,190 --> 00:04:16,130
also the reply I received is very

119
00:04:19,900 --> 00:04:18,200
strange the driver just looked at me

120
00:04:21,849 --> 00:04:19,910
without saying anything and then the

121
00:04:23,650 --> 00:04:21,859
passenger guy in a very stuttering kind

122
00:04:25,990 --> 00:04:23,660
of manner said it's just a practical

123
00:04:27,940 --> 00:04:26,000
joke sticker from my girlfriend after

124
00:04:29,650 --> 00:04:27,950
that response the driver then stepped on

125
00:04:31,870 --> 00:04:29,660
the gas and out of the campground they

126
00:04:33,490 --> 00:04:31,880
went I just find it odd that there is a

127
00:04:35,469 --> 00:04:33,500
perfectly healthy tree pushed over

128
00:04:37,180 --> 00:04:35,479
followed by a gorilla like grunt and

129
00:04:39,100 --> 00:04:37,190
then these two tactical possible

130
00:04:41,529 --> 00:04:39,110
military guys show up the next morning

131
00:04:43,690 --> 00:04:41,539
out of nowhere driving a blacked-out SUV

132
00:04:46,029 --> 00:04:43,700
with an oversized Sasquatch sticker on

133
00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:46,039
the back window very very odd in my

134
00:04:55,939 --> 00:04:53,060
case number a zero zero three two kerbin

135
00:04:58,219 --> 00:04:55,949
Bigfoot in Chico California I found you

136
00:05:00,740 --> 00:04:58,229
through a Google search I also contacted

137
00:05:02,900 --> 00:05:00,750
someone local but they never got back to

138
00:05:05,900 --> 00:05:02,910
me maybe you can explain what I

139
00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:05,910
witnessed on Sunday December 16th my

140
00:05:10,010 --> 00:05:07,410
wife and I were driving through a

141
00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:10,020
residential area in Chico it was around

142
00:05:14,510 --> 00:05:12,210
11 p.m. and we had been visiting a

143
00:05:16,700 --> 00:05:14,520
friend for the holidays I'm not very

144
00:05:19,010 --> 00:05:16,710
familiar with the area but at the time

145
00:05:21,499 --> 00:05:19,020
we were on Vallum brosef Avenue on the

146
00:05:23,210 --> 00:05:21,509
left there is a wooded park we had just

147
00:05:25,189 --> 00:05:23,220
driven under the Golden State highway

148
00:05:27,050 --> 00:05:25,199
overpass when suddenly a large dark

149
00:05:29,390 --> 00:05:27,060
man-like creature leaped out from the

150
00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:29,400
woods onto the road I quickly stopped

151
00:05:33,770 --> 00:05:31,410
the car as my tires screeched on the

152
00:05:35,750 --> 00:05:33,780
roadway this creature was massive and

153
00:05:38,270 --> 00:05:35,760
had dark hair all over its body

154
00:05:40,820 --> 00:05:38,280
I don't know how wide the road is but it

155
00:05:42,439 --> 00:05:40,830
was across in three large leaps as it

156
00:05:44,990 --> 00:05:42,449
reached the north side of the road it

157
00:05:46,939 --> 00:05:45,000
turned and looked directly at us my wife

158
00:05:49,370 --> 00:05:46,949
was terrified and crouched down in her

159
00:05:51,589 --> 00:05:49,380
seat I caught a brief golden coloured

160
00:05:53,390 --> 00:05:51,599
reflection from its eyes I hit the

161
00:05:56,330 --> 00:05:53,400
accelerator and quickly continued

162
00:05:57,830 --> 00:05:56,340
driving I had driven about 100 yards or

163
00:05:59,900 --> 00:05:57,840
so when I noticed that either this

164
00:06:01,640 --> 00:05:59,910
creature was keeping pace with me or

165
00:06:03,710 --> 00:06:01,650
that I passed another similar creature

166
00:06:06,140 --> 00:06:03,720
on my left side crouched down by the

167
00:06:07,969 --> 00:06:06,150
road I still think that this was another

168
00:06:09,649 --> 00:06:07,979
creature because it looked smaller in

169
00:06:12,020 --> 00:06:09,659
size than the creature I witnessed

170
00:06:14,450 --> 00:06:12,030
previously by this time I was very

171
00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:14,460
concerned and scared I was hoping that

172
00:06:18,050 --> 00:06:16,289
there would be no traffic lights until

173
00:06:20,570 --> 00:06:18,060
we reached the turnoff to get onto the

174
00:06:22,339 --> 00:06:20,580
highway I live about 80 mile north of

175
00:06:24,379 --> 00:06:22,349
Chico in an area where there have been a

176
00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:24,389
few Bigfoot reports but I have never

177
00:06:28,790 --> 00:06:26,370
heard of any in Chico let alone in a

178
00:06:30,860 --> 00:06:28,800
residential location I talked to my

179
00:06:32,659 --> 00:06:30,870
friend in Chico and he said that there

180
00:06:35,689 --> 00:06:32,669
was a sighting in his area back in the

181
00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:35,699
1990's but nothing recent most of the

182
00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:37,289
sightings in his County Butte County

183
00:06:42,290 --> 00:06:39,690
have been in an area 30 miles southeast

184
00:06:45,020 --> 00:06:42,300
of Chico near Lake Oroville I checked

185
00:06:47,420 --> 00:06:45,030
out the BFRO website and verified what

186
00:06:49,250 --> 00:06:47,430
my friend said I know that we witnessed

187
00:06:50,420 --> 00:06:49,260
something that night and I think that

188
00:06:52,490 --> 00:06:50,430
there were more than one of these

189
00:06:57,239 --> 00:06:52,500
creatures roaming around I would

190
00:07:03,389 --> 00:07:00,839
base number a zero zero 3-3 Sask which

191
00:07:06,209 --> 00:07:03,399
or something else was out rabbit hunting

192
00:07:09,179 --> 00:07:06,219
between the hours of 2130 CDT to about

193
00:07:11,579 --> 00:07:09,189
23 15 CDT on a farm outside of Maude

194
00:07:13,799 --> 00:07:11,589
Oklahoma it was a clear and cold night

195
00:07:15,929 --> 00:07:13,809
with a quarter moon out I was armed with

196
00:07:19,409 --> 00:07:15,939
an a pump-action tactical shotgun and a

197
00:07:22,049 --> 00:07:19,419
Kimber five inches 45 Cal pistol along

198
00:07:24,749 --> 00:07:22,059
with about 100 rounds of 45 and 45

199
00:07:26,699 --> 00:07:24,759
shotgun rounds both weapons are equipped

200
00:07:30,119 --> 00:07:26,709
with high-end white lights upon

201
00:07:32,369 --> 00:07:30,129
returning to my home about 23 15 CDT I

202
00:07:34,589 --> 00:07:32,379
walked up on my patio which is about 5

203
00:07:36,269 --> 00:07:34,599
feet off the ground when I saw a large

204
00:07:38,819 --> 00:07:36,279
human-like figure that was bigger than

205
00:07:40,709 --> 00:07:38,829
any man I ever saw I used the surefire

206
00:07:43,049 --> 00:07:40,719
white light on my shotgun to see better

207
00:07:45,839 --> 00:07:43,059
do the light fog I could only see about

208
00:07:47,639 --> 00:07:45,849
25 feet with the light the creature was

209
00:07:49,769 --> 00:07:47,649
out in the open enough to see an outline

210
00:07:52,139 --> 00:07:49,779
of the figure I had seen all my animals

211
00:07:53,879 --> 00:07:52,149
act unusual prior a feeling of being

212
00:07:56,099 --> 00:07:53,889
watched at hours of darkness on more

213
00:07:58,559 --> 00:07:56,109
than once the figure was watching me and

214
00:08:00,569 --> 00:07:58,569
made eye contact it was very large and

215
00:08:03,089 --> 00:08:00,579
close to seven to eight feet tall was

216
00:08:05,339 --> 00:08:03,099
very stocky built would guess over 400

217
00:08:07,619 --> 00:08:05,349
pounds the figure seemed in white that I

218
00:08:10,219 --> 00:08:07,629
pointed my shotgun at it seemed to have

219
00:08:12,479 --> 00:08:10,229
no fear of near my animals my dog

220
00:08:15,179 --> 00:08:12,489
military-trained cowered down and would

221
00:08:17,279 --> 00:08:15,189
not respond to commands I did contact a

222
00:08:20,249 --> 00:08:17,289
Bigfoot team that showed up within 72

223
00:08:23,039 --> 00:08:20,259
hours of this no evidence was found no

224
00:08:25,499 --> 00:08:23,049
footprints hair nothing I did experience

225
00:08:27,659 --> 00:08:25,509
some lapse in memory thereafter I am a

226
00:08:29,639 --> 00:08:27,669
retired Special Forces sniper with ten

227
00:08:32,219 --> 00:08:29,649
years experience and three tours in Iraq

228
00:08:34,170 --> 00:08:32,229
including the Iraq invasion with the 3rd

229
00:08:36,569 --> 00:08:34,180
Infantry Division on the front lines I

230
00:08:38,819 --> 00:08:36,579
have no knowledge after all I seen and

231
00:08:40,619 --> 00:08:38,829
done to describe this figure I do need

232
00:08:42,509 --> 00:08:40,629
to be kept out of any public report

233
00:08:43,799 --> 00:08:42,519
because of my background and security

234
00:08:46,049 --> 00:08:43,809
clearance with the military

235
00:08:48,540 --> 00:08:46,059
I just want answers and will provide

236
00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:48,550
full cooperation in person the biggest

237
00:08:52,019 --> 00:08:49,930
thing that bothers me is the lack of

238
00:08:54,869 --> 00:08:52,029
fear from the figure and my fear back I

239
00:08:58,160 --> 00:08:54,879
fear very little in life just want to

240
00:09:04,610 --> 00:09:01,550
case a 0 0 of 3-4 Gami or island

241
00:09:07,220 --> 00:09:04,620
sasquatch in 1973 I had one of my

242
00:09:09,170 --> 00:09:07,230
dearest experiences it was on gammy our

243
00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:09,180
island located in how sound near

244
00:09:13,670 --> 00:09:11,490
Vancouver British Columbia on the south

245
00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:13,680
end of Gambia or three bays when called

246
00:09:17,930 --> 00:09:16,170
Center Bay my parents said I had tied up

247
00:09:20,269 --> 00:09:17,940
to appear on a weekday when no one else

248
00:09:21,920 --> 00:09:20,279
was around during the afternoon I had

249
00:09:24,170 --> 00:09:21,930
gone up to an old house that was in

250
00:09:25,790 --> 00:09:24,180
ruins as I was checking out the back of

251
00:09:28,129 --> 00:09:25,800
the house I heard three wounds from the

252
00:09:30,350 --> 00:09:28,139
bush right behind me thinking it was my

253
00:09:32,360 --> 00:09:30,360
dad playing jokes on me or bear I walked

254
00:09:34,670 --> 00:09:32,370
away whatever it was could have reached

255
00:09:36,350 --> 00:09:34,680
out and grabbed my shoulder when dark

256
00:09:38,540 --> 00:09:36,360
came I couldn't see more than a few feet

257
00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:38,550
in front of me I heard something on the

258
00:09:42,710 --> 00:09:40,290
shore the same lose that I heard earlier

259
00:09:44,810 --> 00:09:42,720
in the day I called dad out to the back

260
00:09:46,910 --> 00:09:44,820
of the boat for several minutes we heard

261
00:09:49,250 --> 00:09:46,920
something splashing in the water having

262
00:09:51,079 --> 00:09:49,260
a great time in doing so a few years

263
00:09:53,780 --> 00:09:51,089
later I posted this encounter on a

264
00:09:55,340 --> 00:09:53,790
Bigfoot email subscription list similar

265
00:09:56,720 --> 00:09:55,350
encounters happened on either Mount

266
00:09:58,819 --> 00:09:56,730
Shasta Mount Vernon

267
00:10:00,949 --> 00:09:58,829
apparently it's a sasquatch his way of

268
00:10:02,630 --> 00:10:00,959
letting people know it is around since

269
00:10:04,819 --> 00:10:02,640
that night on gammy our Island I've

270
00:10:06,889 --> 00:10:04,829
heard several species of wildlife from

271
00:10:09,259 --> 00:10:06,899
Kruger to wolf to black bear to deer elk

272
00:10:10,970 --> 00:10:09,269
moose and caribou what I heard that

273
00:10:16,100 --> 00:10:10,980
night was none of the above but was

274
00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:16,110
distinctly ape-like Braham this is lawn

275
00:10:20,630 --> 00:10:19,050
