Greetings,

Have you ever had an encounter with a Bigfoot or Sasquatch? I would like to hear any experiences, including even if you did not actually see it. Thank you in advance,

I never saw no Bigfoot, but my husband said he ran across one, in the Everglades once, about 30 yrs ago.
True story.

Him and some hunting buddies was coming out from the weekend hunt.
He said, coming across the road was a fella they all knew and grew up with, name was Doug.
He was wearing an ape costume, and carrying the head!

I asked the Mr, "what'd ya'll say to him"? He said, "we all said Hey Doug"!
I said, "Ya'll didn't ask him why was he dressed up, or what was he doing"?
Mr. said, "Nope, figured he was drunk and knew what he was doing".

True story, so help me doggie!

I saw that ice cube traveling display in around '72. Supposedly some fellow in Minnesota who killed one and froze it. Mentioned that in a thread a month or so ago. It was as advertized, and as I have read more recently about that traveling display. I was convinced, but still walked away wondering.

Wow that is cool amigo, you are the first person I have ever run across that actually saw the Ice Man. Did they allow any photos? Just curious.

I started this thread out of curiosity, mainly because if you read the thousands of reports that some of the bigfoot researchers have been collecting, it is surprising how many witnesses were prospectors and treasure hunters. It makes sense as we tend to get out in the wilderness more, and I have noticed that a fair percentage of UFO sightings or encounters have been prospectors and treasure hunters too.

If you spend enough time out in the tall tules as they say, you will see and hear some mighty strange things. Thank you for your posts,

Does my 26 pound cat count?

but it's a bit amazing that no hunters with high powered rifles see any, yet I bet there are more of them in the wilds than detectors

How big are your cat's feet? Is your cat eight feet tall and walk on two legs all the time? If so then yes your cat counts.

One crossed the road, 100 yds in front of my car and went onto the woods. I pulled over, got out and listened at the edge of the thicket there, but all was silent and the woods were too dark to see into. This was in Claiborne County, Mississippi. I reported it on the BFRO website.

Perhaps it will come as a surprise then, because it does happen fairly frequently that hunters encounter bigfoot, skunk ape etc. Here are a few examples":
BFRO Report 12959: Sightings by two hunters in tree stands outside Elkwater
BFRO Report 5463: Dusk sighting by hunter on Fort Hunter Liggett
BFRO Report 9876: Sighting by hunters south of Longview

Many more at:
BFRO Geographical Database of Bigfoot Sightings & Reports

There is something about these things that causes hunters to NOT shoot them, perhaps they appear too human; a recent DNA study done by Dr Ketchum showed that they are in fact a type of human. Not a good idea to be blazing away at them, if you did kill one it would then legally be homicide.

Thank you Cycluran & DeepseekerADS!

Keep em coming amigos, and thank you in advance;

My cat's feet are as wide as my wrists. He can eat a can of catfood in one mouthful. Mice die of fright at the sight of him. Guess he's a little bigfoot!

Always a comedian in the bunch!

It seems whenever someone tries to discuss this phenomenon seriously, some people just have to ridicule it. Have you ever seen one? If you have not, then how can you ridicule what you have no knowledge of? Think it is all a hoax?

I don't intend to try to convince any skeptic(s) that they are real, if you have doubts or simply don't believe, do your own research. People are encountering something out there, and the evidence has been mounting that it is a reality, a branch of humans that lives very differently from us.

I did not believe in them until I had my first encounter, even though several people I knew had already told me of having run into something including my own brother. I have now had two encounters with them and hope to see one again, but next time with a good camera handy. I am very interested in hearing (reading) the experiences of others, thank you in advance,

Sascat! LOL!

I wasn't trying to be flippant, when relaying my only true encounter, with someone who had a true non-encounter.
I did vote no.

I kinda always discounted our Skunk Ape down here because of knowing Doug had been running around the Everglades with that ape suit, for God knows how long! LOL! We could be at family reunions, gatherings, weddings, whatever, and someone would always bring it up, and we would just have to laugh at the craziness of some ppl.
Figured he was lucky he didn't get shot by hunters.
I've known many ppl that lived in the Everglades all their lives(more or less), since the early 1900's.
No one I or my family ever knew, ever had an encounter with one, down here.

I find it interesting, as man evolved and lost bodily hair(well some did), these creatures maintain a fur coat, and seem to not need clothing. Also, I wonder if they have their own form of care, in that if they get hurt, break a tooth or bone, how do they care for themselves and their others, or do they? Do they know of medicines through plants. It must not be easy being a Sasquatch, I would think.

I do enjoy true first hand experiences with these creatures, so please tell us of them!
And, someone please get some good pics or film!
