Mount Hood National Forest I was active 9 00:00:37,630 --> 00:00:34,640 in the Boy Scouts of America BSA for a 10 00:00:39,490 --> 00:00:37,640 few years up until about age 15 our 11 00:00:41,590 --> 00:00:39,500 troop was fairly small and poorly 12 00:00:44,020 --> 00:00:41,600 organized with a scout master who was 13 00:00:46,149 --> 00:00:44,030 uninspired old man known to drink a lot 14 00:00:48,729 --> 00:00:46,159 he often drove us out into some remote 15 00:00:50,319 --> 00:00:48,739 locations of the pnw and in around the 16 00:00:52,660 --> 00:00:50,329 Mount Hood National Forest 17 00:00:54,700 --> 00:00:52,670 we usually ended up being the only troop 18 00:00:56,889 --> 00:00:54,710 attempt sites that were long neglected 19 00:00:58,990 --> 00:00:56,899 and poorly maintained at best we never 20 00:01:01,180 --> 00:00:59,000 attended any of the Scout Jamboree 21 00:01:03,340 --> 00:01:01,190 the one criteria that seemed to matter 22 00:01:05,889 --> 00:01:03,350 to him was the presence of some kind of 23 00:01:08,139 --> 00:01:05,899 single occupancy shelter like an old 24 00:01:09,969 --> 00:01:08,149 mini cabin or some standing structure he 25 00:01:12,490 --> 00:01:09,979 could hole up by himself with his little 26 00:01:15,279 --> 00:01:12,500 propane heater folding cod and Canadian 27 00:01:17,590 --> 00:01:15,289 mist we usually saw him twice a day for 28 00:01:19,810 --> 00:01:17,600 breakfast and dinner the rest of the 29 00:01:21,550 --> 00:01:19,820 time we fended for ourselves and the 30 00:01:23,499 --> 00:01:21,560 dynamics of our troops sometimes 31 00:01:25,930 --> 00:01:23,509 devolved into something along the lines 32 00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:25,940 of Lord of the Flies during my time in 33 00:01:30,609 --> 00:01:28,490 that troop on two occasions my friend 34 00:01:34,149 --> 00:01:30,619 and I came across some very distinct 35 00:01:36,039 --> 00:01:34,159 five to bury human very huge prints when 36 00:01:38,830 --> 00:01:36,049 grouping was located on the far side of 37 00:01:41,020 --> 00:01:38,840 a lake accessible only by canoe which at 38 00:01:43,090 --> 00:01:41,030 one point we had to drag over Beaver Dam 39 00:01:45,310 --> 00:01:43,100 there was a muddy cove where a creek 40 00:01:47,260 --> 00:01:45,320 drained into the lake we were marveling 41 00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:47,270 at all of fresh the various animal 42 00:01:52,330 --> 00:01:49,850 tracks imprinted in the mud bear deer 43 00:01:54,459 --> 00:01:52,340 Kruger and or Bobcat when we noticed the 44 00:01:57,010 --> 00:01:54,469 improbable bare humanoid prints that 45 00:01:58,959 --> 00:01:57,020 were ridiculously huge we looked at them 46 00:02:00,880 --> 00:01:58,969 very closely and I'll never forget 47 00:02:02,590 --> 00:02:00,890 observing the fine detail within the 48 00:02:05,319 --> 00:02:02,600 prints that were pressed in quite deep 49 00:02:07,510 --> 00:02:05,329 my friend said at the time the creases 50 00:02:09,370 --> 00:02:07,520 inside the prints looked similar to what 51 00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:09,380 you'd see on your palms or the bottoms 52 00:02:13,780 --> 00:02:11,690 of your own feet both my friend and I 53 00:02:15,099 --> 00:02:13,790 were aware of the Bigfoot legends but we 54 00:02:17,170 --> 00:02:15,109 never took it seriously 55 00:02:19,479 --> 00:02:17,180 shortly after inspecting those 56 00:02:21,610 --> 00:02:19,489 footprints we both felt a little spooked 57 00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:21,620 and decided to head the canoe and paddle 58 00:02:24,910 --> 00:02:22,970 back to our campsite 59 00:02:26,770 --> 00:02:24,920 if someone had put in the elaborate 60 00:02:28,990 --> 00:02:26,780 effort to prank some Boy Scouts or 61 00:02:31,150 --> 00:02:29,000 campers with fake footprints they chose 62 00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:31,160 the location almost guaranteed to never 63 00:02:35,590 --> 00:02:33,410 be noticed that incident along with 64 00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:35,600 another much freakier one in a different 65 00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:38,450 location gravely changed my Mincy as to 66 00:02:42,430 --> 00:02:40,250 the likelihood of these things creatures 67 00:02:44,380 --> 00:02:42,440 being all too real the other freaky 68 00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:44,390 experience also didn't involve a 69 00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:46,490 sighting on my part but it was one of 70 00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:48,050 those you would have had to have been 71 00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:50,330 there situations this very well could 72 00:02:54,640 --> 00:02:52,250 have taken place during the camping 73 00:02:56,530 --> 00:02:54,650 excursion in location as where my friend 74 00:02:58,930 --> 00:02:56,540 I found the prints on the far side of 75 00:03:01,420 --> 00:02:58,940 the lake if not that in there it was 76 00:03:03,580 --> 00:03:01,430 around that same time period it was 77 00:03:05,770 --> 00:03:03,590 after dinner and the Sun was down but 78 00:03:07,660 --> 00:03:05,780 the moon was pretty bright two of the 79 00:03:10,330 --> 00:03:07,670 guys my age went for a night hike 80 00:03:13,090 --> 00:03:10,340 basically just goofing around one of 81 00:03:15,220 --> 00:03:13,100 those two guys Bruce I also considered a 82 00:03:16,660 --> 00:03:15,230 friend he was in my grade and we 83 00:03:20,020 --> 00:03:16,670 attended the same school 84 00:03:21,940 --> 00:03:20,030 Bruce was tall husky guy for his age he 85 00:03:24,640 --> 00:03:21,950 had a mellow disposition and got good 86 00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:24,650 grades in school he was also deaf were 87 00:03:28,660 --> 00:03:26,690 significantly so since he had one of 88 00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:28,670 those old hearing aids that connected to 89 00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:31,370 a control box about the size of a pack 90 00:03:35,770 --> 00:03:34,010 of cigarettes I never saw him use sign 91 00:03:37,540 --> 00:03:35,780 language but he was effective at 92 00:03:40,180 --> 00:03:37,550 communicating with rough words and 93 00:03:42,490 --> 00:03:40,190 gestures anyway Bruce and the other guy 94 00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:42,500 went for their hike apparently intending 95 00:03:46,330 --> 00:03:44,330 to go just down down to the lake and 96 00:03:49,030 --> 00:03:46,340 back they didn't bring anything with 97 00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:49,040 them not even a flashlight I don't think 98 00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:51,050 they were gone for more than 45 minutes 99 00:03:55,690 --> 00:03:53,450 tops when they both came bursting back 100 00:03:58,360 --> 00:03:55,700 into the campsite area in a total state 101 00:04:00,610 --> 00:03:58,370 of panic bordering on hysteria the other 102 00:04:02,770 --> 00:04:00,620 guy can't recall his name was sobbing 103 00:04:04,509 --> 00:04:02,780 and shaking kept frantically looking 104 00:04:06,670 --> 00:04:04,519 back in the direction they come come 105 00:04:09,100 --> 00:04:06,680 from what really alarmed me was seeing 106 00:04:11,410 --> 00:04:09,110 Bruce in tears also he had to create a 107 00:04:13,570 --> 00:04:11,420 lot deep woods camping experiencing and 108 00:04:15,820 --> 00:04:13,580 was no worse both of them were babbling 109 00:04:18,219 --> 00:04:15,830 over the top of each other making quite 110 00:04:20,380 --> 00:04:18,229 a commotion it was enough to rouse her 111 00:04:22,750 --> 00:04:20,390 all troop leader from his hidey hole to 112 00:04:24,790 --> 00:04:22,760 see what was going on we finally got 113 00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:24,800 some detail out of the guys which was 114 00:04:29,260 --> 00:04:27,650 unsettling to everybody supposedly they 115 00:04:31,180 --> 00:04:29,270 hadn't quite made it to the lake when 116 00:04:32,190 --> 00:04:31,190 Bruce felt someone something was pacing 117 00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:32,200 them 118 00:04:36,870 --> 00:04:34,330 alter their path they said whatever it 119 00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:36,880 was was walking between the trees at 120 00:04:41,010 --> 00:04:38,890 first the other kid didn't pick on up it 121 00:04:43,500 --> 00:04:41,020 and was the muse when Bruce kept trying 122 00:04:45,330 --> 00:04:43,510 to share what he was noticing they kept 123 00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:45,340 walking for a bit until the other kid 124 00:04:49,380 --> 00:04:47,050 became aware of what Bruce had been 125 00:04:51,840 --> 00:04:49,390 trying to explain whatever was pacing 126 00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:51,850 them was laying down footfalls massive 127 00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:53,530 enough to reverberate through the ground 128 00:04:57,960 --> 00:04:55,810 I think what really scared them at first 129 00:05:00,240 --> 00:04:57,970 was noticing how the heavy steps were 130 00:05:02,550 --> 00:05:00,250 keeping pace with their own as if it was 131 00:05:04,980 --> 00:05:02,560 stalking them whenever they stopped it 132 00:05:06,780 --> 00:05:04,990 stopped at some point they reached a 133 00:05:08,940 --> 00:05:06,790 spot where there was wider spacing 134 00:05:11,070 --> 00:05:08,950 between the trees in the moonlight they 135 00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:11,080 both saw the silhouette of a huge tall 136 00:05:15,450 --> 00:05:14,170 bipedal shape 20 to 30 feet away darting 137 00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:15,460 between the tree trunks 138 00:05:20,100 --> 00:05:18,010 Bruce described it as taller than an NBA 139 00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:20,110 player the way thicker than Andre the 140 00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:22,570 Giant where their stories diverged was 141 00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:24,490 after they both fled in panic 142 00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:26,530 Bruce insisted that it didn't give chase 143 00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:28,570 but his friends swore that he could hear 144 00:05:32,580 --> 00:05:30,490 it crashing through the foliage behind 145 00:05:34,950 --> 00:05:32,590 them most of the way back to camp I 146 00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:34,960 should note that our ragtag Scout Troop 147 00:05:39,270 --> 00:05:37,330 included a couple of guys a bit older 148 00:05:41,190 --> 00:05:39,280 than the average age in our troop who 149 00:05:43,830 --> 00:05:41,200 were full-on bullies and considered 150 00:05:46,140 --> 00:05:43,840 themselves badasses both of those doubts 151 00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:46,150 bags who would normally mock anyone for 152 00:05:50,130 --> 00:05:48,250 being a pansy were visibly spooked by 153 00:05:52,140 --> 00:05:50,140 the drama nervously shining their 154 00:05:54,570 --> 00:05:52,150 flashlights around the dark perimeter of 155 00:05:56,310 --> 00:05:54,580 our campsite but of course neither of 156 00:05:58,860 --> 00:05:56,320 them volunteered to venture out and 157 00:06:01,080 --> 00:05:58,870 investigate our old Scoutmaster looked a 158 00:06:03,390 --> 00:06:01,090 bit rattled too since this was not the 159 00:06:05,580 --> 00:06:03,400 typical drama he usually had to contend 160 00:06:07,770 --> 00:06:05,590 with I think seeing Bruce in such a 161 00:06:10,020 --> 00:06:07,780 state of fear had an impact on him I'm 162 00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:10,030 fairly certain he believed at least 163 00:06:13,980 --> 00:06:11,890 those two Scouts saw something out of 164 00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:13,990 the ordinary something that's scared to 165 00:06:18,540 --> 00:06:16,090 piss out of them thereby interrupting 166 00:06:20,580 --> 00:06:18,550 his evening date with some goofs after 167 00:06:23,100 --> 00:06:20,590 things finally simmer down before 168 00:06:25,380 --> 00:06:23,110 retreating back to his personal space he 169 00:06:27,930 --> 00:06:25,390 told us to make sure the fire was out in 170 00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:27,940 hit the racks at that older campground 171 00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:30,130 our accomodations recruit structures 172 00:06:34,500 --> 00:06:32,650 like a cross between tiny log cabins and 173 00:06:37,260 --> 00:06:34,510 eared there were no bunks or anything 174 00:06:39,090 --> 00:06:37,270 just a floor of wood planks the roofs 175 00:06:40,719 --> 00:06:39,100 were large squares of all canvas 176 00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:40,729 stretched fastened across the 177 00:06:46,209 --> 00:06:43,370 those your cabin scriptures were drafty 178 00:06:48,429 --> 00:06:46,219 and cold very uncomfortable it was at 179 00:06:49,959 --> 00:06:48,439 least a couple of hours before dawn when 180 00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:49,969 me and a couple of the guys who woke to 181 00:06:54,070 --> 00:06:51,770 the sound feeling of something walking 182 00:06:56,589 --> 00:06:54,080 around the campsite at times getting 183 00:06:58,600 --> 00:06:56,599 really close to the yurts I don't recall 184 00:07:00,850 --> 00:06:58,610 a feeling as being something massive or 185 00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:00,860 heavy but two dogs were absolutely 186 00:07:05,290 --> 00:07:02,930 freaking out howling and whimpering like 187 00:07:07,989 --> 00:07:05,300 their lives were in danger here's where 188 00:07:10,570 --> 00:07:07,999 my memory has some gaps our trip didn't 189 00:07:12,670 --> 00:07:10,580 travel with include dogs my best for 190 00:07:14,649 --> 00:07:12,680 collection is that particular campground 191 00:07:15,279 --> 00:07:14,659 had some guy acting as a seasonal 192 00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:15,289 caretaker 193 00:07:19,450 --> 00:07:17,210 with a key to the gate living in a shack 194 00:07:21,879 --> 00:07:19,460 or an old trailer ways off from our camp 195 00:07:23,829 --> 00:07:21,889 and he might have owned dogs I just 196 00:07:26,499 --> 00:07:23,839 don't remember seeing this person at any 197 00:07:28,329 --> 00:07:26,509 point sure the sounds we heard that 198 00:07:30,489 --> 00:07:28,339 morning could have easily been from any 199 00:07:32,439 --> 00:07:30,499 number of catalogued critters but the 200 00:07:33,070 --> 00:07:32,449 way those dogs sounded was really 201 00:07:35,529 --> 00:07:33,080 something 202 00:07:38,019 --> 00:07:35,539 I saw a call how scared my friend Bruce 203 00:07:40,450 --> 00:07:38,029 was as he frantically tried to explain 204 00:07:42,429 --> 00:07:40,460 describe what he'd seen that normally 205 00:07:44,860 --> 00:07:42,439 mellow guy looked like he just witnessed 206 00:07:47,320 --> 00:07:44,870 something very frightening the guy was 207 00:07:49,570 --> 00:07:47,330 literally in tears extremely convinced 208 00:07:51,639 --> 00:07:49,580 of what he'd seen for whatever reason 209 00:07:54,309 --> 00:07:51,649 Bruce didn't stick around our trip long 210 00:07:56,800 --> 00:07:54,319 after that maybe just one more campout 211 00:07:58,689 --> 00:07:56,810 at most over the following years I saw 212 00:08:01,029 --> 00:07:58,699 him a few times in the school hallways 213 00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:01,039 but never had a chance to ask him to 214 00:08:16,390 --> 00:08:14,260 Bigfoot along the Chenango River had my 215 00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:16,400 encounter in western Pennsylvania near 216 00:08:22,270 --> 00:08:18,130 the Chenango River in Crawford County 217 00:08:24,190 --> 00:08:22,280 this was in 2008 when I was a teen I was 218 00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:24,200 night fishing in the pond across the 219 00:08:28,870 --> 00:08:26,450 street from my family friends horse farm 220 00:08:30,850 --> 00:08:28,880 I was staying at for the summer the 221 00:08:32,890 --> 00:08:30,860 sight of the pond I was fishing from is 222 00:08:35,260 --> 00:08:32,900 an open field from the lawn to the road 223 00:08:37,420 --> 00:08:35,270 and the opposite side has a thick oak 224 00:08:39,820 --> 00:08:37,430 forest leading up to the shore that is 225 00:08:43,089 --> 00:08:39,830 massive and stretches for a few miles in 226 00:08:45,250 --> 00:08:43,099 width and probably 10 miles long his is 227 00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:45,260 the only house in the area his nearest 228 00:08:49,840 --> 00:08:47,450 neighbor is almost three miles up the 229 00:08:52,540 --> 00:08:49,850 road I had been out for around an hour 230 00:08:55,240 --> 00:08:52,550 and already had for 10 to 15 pounds 231 00:08:57,460 --> 00:08:55,250 catfish on my stringer so was more just 232 00:09:00,040 --> 00:08:57,470 enjoying the quiet and sky more than 233 00:09:02,020 --> 00:09:00,050 anything I started hearing some rustling 234 00:09:04,270 --> 00:09:02,030 a hundred yards or so into the woods 235 00:09:06,280 --> 00:09:04,280 across the pond from me at first I just 236 00:09:08,560 --> 00:09:06,290 thought it was the dog digging something 237 00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:08,570 up until I realized he was still laying 238 00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:11,210 beside me then I started to make out 239 00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:13,250 four human-like figures that kept 240 00:09:17,050 --> 00:09:14,930 walking up near the edge of the tree 241 00:09:18,970 --> 00:09:17,060 line across the pond and then walking 242 00:09:19,660 --> 00:09:18,980 back to where I couldn't make them out 243 00:09:22,060 --> 00:09:19,670 anymore 244 00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:22,070 this went on for around 20 minutes and 245 00:09:26,770 --> 00:09:24,530 was freaking me out because the family 246 00:09:28,930 --> 00:09:26,780 friend lives by himself and I was the 247 00:09:31,240 --> 00:09:28,940 only person there that night besides him 248 00:09:33,940 --> 00:09:31,250 so I knew it wasn't just him messing 249 00:09:35,890 --> 00:09:33,950 with me then I stopped seeing them but 250 00:09:37,420 --> 00:09:35,900 could still hear the occasional noises 251 00:09:39,790 --> 00:09:37,430 of something moving in the woods just 252 00:09:42,460 --> 00:09:39,800 out of sight for another 20 minutes or 253 00:09:44,980 --> 00:09:42,470 so it was almost 1 a.m. at that point 254 00:09:46,870 --> 00:09:44,990 and the fish weren't biting anymore but 255 00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:46,880 I was too freaked out to take my eyes 256 00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:49,130 off the wood line long enough to pack up 257 00:09:54,460 --> 00:09:51,770 my tackle box and rod and clean the fish 258 00:09:56,410 --> 00:09:54,470 then I saw one of the figures come up to 259 00:09:58,120 --> 00:09:56,420 the edge of the wood line again and it 260 00:10:00,700 --> 00:09:58,130 heaved a rock that had to have been 261 00:10:03,340 --> 00:10:00,710 about 40 pounds or so judging by the 262 00:10:05,170 --> 00:10:03,350 splash it made that darn near made it to 263 00:10:08,200 --> 00:10:05,180 the middle of the pond which is roughly 264 00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:08,210 60 yards wide I was scared to death and 265 00:10:11,920 --> 00:10:09,770 immediately jumped up and started 266 00:10:14,320 --> 00:10:11,930 sprinting the quarter mile back to the 267 00:10:16,930 --> 00:10:14,330 house I left all of my gear there 268 00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:16,940 fishing lines still cast out stringer of 269 00:10:21,880 --> 00:10:19,010 fish still in the pond in front of me 270 00:10:24,400 --> 00:10:21,890 etc my tackle box and gear is still my 271 00:10:26,619 --> 00:10:24,410 most prized possessions to this day but 272 00:10:29,259 --> 00:10:26,629 how deathly afraid I was in the moment 273 00:10:30,910 --> 00:10:29,269 luckily the dog freaked out as much as I 274 00:10:32,920 --> 00:10:30,920 did and beat me back to the house 275 00:10:35,860 --> 00:10:32,930 because I didn't think about him at all 276 00:10:37,629 --> 00:10:35,870 either I ran inside and started to tell 277 00:10:39,879 --> 00:10:37,639 the family friend what happened 278 00:10:42,009 --> 00:10:39,889 he didn't even bat an eye just told me 279 00:10:44,980 --> 00:10:42,019 to grab the spotlight we used for [\h__\h] 280 00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:44,990 hunting and he grabbed his rifle it took 281 00:10:49,030 --> 00:10:46,730 maybe five minutes from the time I 282 00:10:51,189 --> 00:10:49,040 booked it in fear till we were back down 283 00:10:53,499 --> 00:10:51,199 at the pond the stringer of fish was 284 00:10:55,749 --> 00:10:53,509 gone and the whole tub of chicken livers 285 00:10:58,689 --> 00:10:55,759 I was using as bait was nowhere in sight 286 00:11:00,850 --> 00:10:58,699 I reeled in my line packed up my tackle 287 00:11:02,829 --> 00:11:00,860 box and we walked around the woods 288 00:11:05,079 --> 00:11:02,839 spotting for around a half hour and 289 00:11:07,210 --> 00:11:05,089 didn't find the stringer of fish or blue 290 00:11:10,030 --> 00:11:07,220 bucket from the chicken livers anywhere 291 00:11:12,040 --> 00:11:10,040 nor any animals or anything we went back 292 00:11:14,079 --> 00:11:12,050 to the house and he told me that he has 293 00:11:16,449 --> 00:11:14,089 had a family of Bigfoot living on his 294 00:11:18,369 --> 00:11:16,459 property for a few years now but didn't 295 00:11:20,920 --> 00:11:18,379 want people to think he was crazy 296 00:11:23,230 --> 00:11:20,930 so never brought it up I had a lot of 297 00:11:25,869 --> 00:11:23,240 experiences on that property that summer 298 00:11:27,639 --> 00:11:25,879 and since but none that intense just a 299 00:11:29,470 --> 00:11:27,649 lot of being followed through the woods 300 00:11:31,660 --> 00:11:29,480 while hunting or collecting mushrooms 301 00:11:39,870 --> 00:11:31,670 and berries and hearing them talking in 302 00:11:44,650 --> 00:11:42,699 Appalachia and Tennessee Bigfoot I grew 303 00:11:46,420 --> 00:11:44,660 up in the southern Appalachians Crab 304 00:11:49,030 --> 00:11:46,430 Orchard mountains in Tennessee to be 305 00:11:51,460 --> 00:11:49,040 precise my much older brother and his 306 00:11:53,920 --> 00:11:51,470 best friend saw Bigfoot in the 60s while 307 00:11:56,650 --> 00:11:53,930 camping on the oak Trevor no guessing 308 00:11:58,900 --> 00:11:56,660 about it I always believed him a buddy 309 00:12:01,480 --> 00:11:58,910 and I were back there in the early 2000s 310 00:12:04,389 --> 00:12:01,490 late January we're camping and riding 311 00:12:06,910 --> 00:12:04,399 ATVs and it's staying cold around minus 312 00:12:09,190 --> 00:12:06,920 8 degrees that night we were back at the 313 00:12:11,800 --> 00:12:09,200 camp warming around the fire quietly 314 00:12:13,780 --> 00:12:11,810 talking all of a sudden the most ear 315 00:12:15,460 --> 00:12:13,790 piercing bellowing shrieking of the sort 316 00:12:17,829 --> 00:12:15,470 that I have never heard anywhere on this 317 00:12:20,230 --> 00:12:17,839 planet it had the volume of an elephant 318 00:12:22,150 --> 00:12:20,240 it seemed it moved around our campsite 319 00:12:23,170 --> 00:12:22,160 in the dark staying out of the glow of 320 00:12:25,389 --> 00:12:23,180 the campfire 321 00:12:27,699 --> 00:12:25,399 Jerry shined his big flashlight all 322 00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:27,709 around and we didn't see anything but it 323 00:12:31,990 --> 00:12:30,050 screamed at us another three times then 324 00:12:33,880 --> 00:12:32,000 we heard what sounded like a damn loose 325 00:12:35,800 --> 00:12:33,890 running through the woods there aren't 326 00:12:38,290 --> 00:12:35,810 any moose around there let me tell you 327 00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:38,300 Jerry and I kept her weapons handy for a 328 00:12:42,819 --> 00:12:40,370 couple more hours talking about what 329 00:12:45,310 --> 00:12:42,829 just happened I asked him you know what 330 00:12:47,860 --> 00:12:45,320 it had to be don't you and he said the 331 00:12:50,050 --> 00:12:47,870 word Bigfoot but to this day he doesn't 332 00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:50,060 even like to talk about it with me it 333 00:12:54,190 --> 00:12:52,010
