      Hello Brian, glad to hear from someone living in "Eire", tis where my family is from, I've checked with one of those ancestry outfits and I sit at 91%, I already know that there were two women in the family from Germany and England. Anyhow, yes, I'd say Cam is in the top 3 who have a Sasquatch channel, all of us regulars really enjoy the way he tells stories, glad that you do also, it's all good yeh know, take care Brian.

    The first story is from Hoyt Peak, Utah. I went up there to investigate that area three years ago. I had some strange screams blasted at me from the mountain next one over in the late night. I did call blasting as well and got reports back. It is an active area. Ate in that same diner as well. Good food, cute waitresses, and friendly town folk. Best part was left off; the metal Colman stove was twisted like a Christmas candy, it was grabbed at each end and twisted and twisted.

      Hi Cheryl! That's how it all began for me. Since that encounter in 1984 I have been researching and learning more about these creatures over the past 38 years. I have even seen the other two super predators. Most folks come danger close to them in the wild and have no idea that they are there. This is why you have to know the three S's: Signs, Sounds, and Smells (scent). The book will blow your mind. Cheers, TJ

      If it’s a friendly mind speak session, of course.
      I’ve heard a few encounters where people had received very angry, frightening, or threatening mind speak messages that in no way indicated that the Sasq’ets intended on jotting their contact info down in their little black hairy book for future friendly get-togethers!
      I think it would be so amazing to receive an objectively curious, friendly, or benevolent message from one, though.

      Hey Lanita! Yes, they do know the difference between feeding and gifting. Just keep it on the side of gifting, so it doesn't become a problem where they start to expect it and when you fail to deliver, they become irate or aggressive and start knocking on the house. These creatures are very intelligent and can appreciate your special consideration, especially during the winter months or when they are injured, and they need more food to help them heal. My book may help you understand a few things, to keep you safe. Cheers, TJ.
