The Most Incredible Bigfoot Encounter Ever Told

  • I met with a witness to bigfoot in the spring of 2019. Nothing could have prepared me for the story I heard. I have been struggling with this video for literally years, but I figured it's time to just do it one way or the other.
    All the Illustrations in this narrative are drawn by the witness himself, Randy Cutrara. He was only ten years old when this all went down, so the drawings were made to help him understand the experience. He refers to this incident as the Monster of Morse Lake.
    I decided to break this video into two parts. In this video, I go over the narrative. In part two, I let Randy tell it in his own words.
    This is the most unbelievable story I've ever believed. I don't feel like I'm skilled enough to do this story justice, but I tried my best, and sometimes that is the best a person can do.

    I had a soccer coach that was a search and rescue professional. This was a "no bs" type of guy. He had a famous dog named Ranger......anyways he was a believer. He told a story about a little boy that got lost in the woods for days. The conditions were so bad that the boy could not have survived by himself. The little boy said that a very tall hairy man took care of him. When asked if he had a beard, he said he was all hair like he had a beard all over.

    I was never interested in Sasquatch until 2 years ago when a good friend told me he encountered one while hunting in Kentucky. He’s an attorney and has zero motivation to fabricate a story about seeing a humanoid ape creature standing 8 feet tall at 5:30 am deep in the forest. I heard his story and thought to myself, “this is crazy, who the hell sees a Bigfoot and why and how and what the heck?” After listening to dozens of Sasquatch Chronicles podcasts there is no doubt these creatures are as real as it gets.

But they're usually described as being something like a boar's, jutting out of the lower jaw. I don't know of any animal with retracting teeth like that, not even snakes actually do that (theirs fold).

      Idt it’s that hard to believe that it could be possible. He had suffered with a traumatic event that was locked in his memory that he was struggling to collectively recover. Illustrating what happened in great detail is likely an outlet for him, therapeutically committing the events to paper in a sequential and cohesive manner. I’m sure he didn’t frame the literal very first depictions. My son can draw so well that I picked up his book and looked at my husband, “Kurt Cobain?” Mind you it was his depiction that made me recognize Cobain, not the other way around. Some ppl have natural talent.

    His description of how they appear when running on all fours really jibes with my account. I already had bears on the brain after an earlier scare that day, so I had cognitive dissonance at what I was seeing scurrying across the path and into the brush. I made it fit the bear encounter, like a square peg in a round hole and it's been like that since 1975. Yeah, I'm a bit skeptical on the "recalled" memories, but have to admit the amount of detail is compelling. BTW, I'm almost 65, and can tell you that parents couldn't give a shit about what their kids were doing. I lived in what is now Silicon Valley, and we could hop on our bikes and ride 2-3 towns away, being gone all day and our parents wouldn't worry until after we missed dinner. Times have certainly changed.

    • @mattjack3983
      @mattjack3983 Рік тому +19

      I'm 39, and my parents were pretty much the same way. When there wasn't school, we would be gone literally all day, and Mom and Dad really wouldn't fuss about it as long as we were back for dinner. As a matter of fact, if it was a Saturday afternoon, and we were inside, on the couch watching TV..eventually Mom would come in and turn the TV off and tell us to go outside and find something to do. We would NEVER have been allowed to sit in front of a TV, or on a video game all day. We really wouldn't have wanted to tho. Growing up in the sticks of Missouri, we would jump on our 4 wheelers and dirt bikes, and head on off into the woods with our fishing poles and a rifle, and be gone all day. There were plenty of times at 11 and 12 years old we would go camp out for the night on our own. Lol I'm pretty sure my generation was probably the last generation of kids who grew up like that, and had that kind of freedom. Hell kids now don't even seem to want that kind of freedom. They seem perfectly content spending all of their free time locked in their rooms playing video games, or on social media. To me, that is nearly unfathomable. Lol Our rooms were where we got sent when we were in trouble! If we were inside all day, its because it was either raining, or we were in trouble and being punished for something! But you are right..things are much different now.

My parents had a woods behind their house, the one I grew up in, and since the age of six, I would always go exploring.

They were able to work their way through college. Heck it was cheap even when I went ($15 a credit hour). Meanwhile I had a neice who graduated university $50,000 in debt and my son's college is $350 a credit hour.

I also have had an up close citing with one of these adult sasquatch, it was on at night, me and my cousin were about to do the same and camp in the woods, it got deathly quiet, and this creature that was on all fours, that was a whitish/ grey color came running at us, it happened so FAST, but being on farmland the first though that came into my mind as it was bluff charging us, was is that a horse?? That's how big it was on all fours, I'm not good with distance, but ik once it got a certain distance from us, which was pretty close,it like automatically turned and went from all fours to 2 legs up the inbankment beside us. We stood there frozen like time had stopped idk how long we stood there like we were hugging each other when it was over, both scared!!! And now that we're grown we have only spoke about it once. I can say the camping trip we was going on ended there!!!

I thought it was a baby bear at first, expecting momma bear to appear any moment and destroy my dog but it didn't and when it stood up i knew it wasnt a bear.. They literally played. I saw them about 30-50 yards up the trail from me.. Oddly when I got to the spot there were no tracks at all in the snow. My dog was winded but happy like i had been playing with him.. It looked like a harry child with black fur as I got closer and got a better look.

      I grew up in the 60's and 70's. We knew things happen from time to time ( such as the Manson murders). But kids were expected to use caution and had a lot more freedom. Yet there are many cold cases from back then. My parents found a mini bike junked and fixed it up for me.
      My Dad would gas it up and send me off alone. No cell....he only came to look for me if I didn't return for gas or lunch !. Strange men would come and go fishing along the Pomme de Terre or Osage rivers. He told me to stay clear of their camps, which I did. Had a few times they drove behind me, which I didn't like. Once, I ran into a cornfield. Usually, I just headed back to camp or took a path off road where there vehicle couldn't go. I always told Dad if something or someone scared me.
      Dad would knot a life vest on me and turn me loose with a 14' jon boat and 1 oar, but I couldn't swim....it was just a different time. In Dad's defense I saw him deny these rights to other kids if he felt they had never developed " good, common sense". I would stay gone for hours. We did this at least 2 weeks each year and I was 10 when they turned me loose. It was wonderful until I slipped a chain, etc.
      It was a long walk back to camp.
      And yes, --I more than glimpsed Sasquatch there !.

    I am stupidly stunned by the realism of Randy's Truth and even more so by your storytelling skills. Having had "grown up" back then, I too recall familial adults not being overly concerned if you were in the woods or out of doors long after dark. My parents used to start looking for me when it came time to go to bed. Often if they couldn't locate me, they would call the neignbor's house to ask them to please let me know that they had gone to bed. It was Kansas in the 1960's and Randy is right, children were treated as yound adults. But then again, I don't ever recall hearing of a child being tracked and molested or worse by another human being in those days either. We did however have our share of "wildman" stories back then in those dark woods edges where the single outdoor light bulb made them seem even more menacing. My grandmother lived on a farm outside of Pratt Kansas. We use to sit outside her house in the summertime with my grandfather who would never sit outside in the dark without his shotgun nearby. We never quesstioned why, it was just something he did. Later in my teens he told me of "forest men" who would ofter come to the edge of the darkened trees and peer at the house while the outside light was on. "You could see their eyes" he would say, and and that he knew that chickens or feed would be missing by morning. i always hated staying there because of the overwhelming sense of vulnerability and the darkness. Anyway great production Bob and thanks.

      Where I come from (S.E. Asia) when villagers hear talk of encounters in the forest, they do not question it's existence nor invite unwanted attention to the scene. Only to warn others in the same village not to go there as a precaution. We believe they are forest spirits that are territorial and should be respected as such. So nearby inhabitants of the site of contact are encouraged to build a small shack as a sign of good will but the doors and windows are kept shut. Various tributes from food and snacks to fragrant jasmine and dandelion are laid at the front porch of these shacks to appease these spirits. The fact that they would go to such lengths as to build a shack made of milled timber with roofing, one door, two windows, a front porch and raised floors on stilts demonstrates the extent of their belief. Although we are far from the only culture to pay tribute and ask favor of nature. I think it's amazing that they always have catagorical names, groups and types of spirits ranging from the physical to ethereal 'spirits'. In the thick forest you just don't know what might come up to you, but when they do it matters little what you know.

They don’t even have sleepovers and my friends and I stayed at one another’s houses every weekend, switching back and forth. Sometimes we’d leave school with them and wouldn’t be back home till Sunday night.

Today kids don’t have that issue. But what I will say is that it’s ur generations fault for why we turned out the way we did. Your generation made it incredibly difficult for kids to do anything outside at all. So many people I know have gotten kicked out of malls, or parks or had the cops called on them for walking around and being stupid. You can’t to much anywhere without being over 18. And also your generation horrible parenting allowed kids to sit inside all day and do nothing. Parenting especially today is probably the worst it’s been in hundreds of years.

    As someone who is open-minded as to the existence of sasquatch (beings very similar to them did exist in the ancient past, after all), this story has a few things which hit me as red flags.
    1. He only remembered at about age 30, because he was brainwashed by a shadowy government or extra-governmental organization...sounds a bit odd.
    2. The body is of course taken, as are the photos and the other witnesses never spoke out, all because of the super convenient "men in black." Sounds a bit suspicious.
    It sounds all a bit too convenient, "hey, all this amazing stuff happened to me, but nobody has any proof of it aside from me because "the men in black" took everything."
    Again, this isn't meant as a rebuttal or anything, it is just me giving some of my skepticism and doubts. Afterall, I have experienced some strange stuff myself.

      I mean why would they not take everything? If you wanted something to be kept as a myth and fairytale then you would take all evidence of it existing as well as making sure witnesses would never speak out, or try to anyway. I guess now it is different since you never hear about modern men in black stories, probably because even though the internet has emerged thus making it easier to share experiences of sasquatches and UFO's the stigma that comes with these topics has already convinced the vast majority of people to simply ignore, reject, or laugh at the fact someone seriously believes in these things. It would be very suspicious for some of these channels of people talking about these creatures to simply disappear or be deleted and would infer that indeed these things do exist. Idk I may be wrong but I don't think so.
      If these Men in black do in fact exist or used to exist then they would definitely have the resources to silence anyone and anything for their own goals. I personally 100% believe that these "men in black" secret government organisations do exist, I mean why wouldn't you have a policing/silencing force with the power to basically do whatever they need to do without reprocutions that does not officially exist and is not known in the wider public. All this I say in the context of the past as I do believe that these agencies and shadow governments were at their prime in policing and silencing individuals with sightings.
      I am not too sure about if I believe they still exist and if my theories are correct but one thing I am sure about is that there are some very dark forces in the world that are actively trying to hide the truth from us, the people. With where the world is going right now I without a doubt believe the same group of people behind the scenes are behind what's going on in the world today with the rising escalations and tensions betweens the many nations. I really really hope I'm wrong but I have a suspicion that I'm not (which is scary to think about).

    As an artist myself, both illustrators are top notch and are great partners in your story telling career.
    Randy's drawings are fantastic. Super tight and controlled. There are no missing details and thus his compositions are very prescribed. That said, his backgrounds and foregrounds have the exact same amount of detail - which looses that depth of field. Like the the deer in the background. If there is deer in the background, we don't need to see the nostrils, both eyes, fur and the number of leaves on the bush next to it. Randy being an artist and living this story himself - he captured exactly what he remembers - every detail.
    However, Fred's work has a bit more emotion to it. His loose style supports this. This is created by not overworking the drawing and leaving room for the imagination to sit at the table. You'll notice if you look at movie Storyboards, they share the same technique. Freds work gives the eye a place to rest.
    You can tell Fred does this for a living and been doing it for a long time.

    Randy's 100% correct about being 10 yrs old and having complete autonomy. Things were different back then. Prior to the mid 90s your parents had to be reminded to check on the kids by an announcement on the TV at 10pm stating "Do you know where your children are?" or something similar in case they forgot they had kids. You could leave the house on Saturday morning and not been seen by your parents for at LEAST 16 hours and no one would bat an eye. If you told them you were sleeping over at a friends, you could be gone 48 hours and no one would care. At age 10 being home alone for the evening, babysitting your 6 yr old brother was not a big deal. All that is within the city no less. When visiting rural relatives? You could vanish for a week into the woods with a shitty tent, a cartoon themed sleeping bag, and some canned food and your parents would be happy about it. They could sit and play sheep's head and drink with the other adults without being pestered.

    One thing I have to say, being several years older than Randy, is that he is absolutely correct about rural children in the 70s. A friend and I built a fort deep in the woods, and we were allowed to spend virtually every night in it on weekends or when school was out. Another thing he got right was his drawing of the ambulance. We had old Cadillac ambulances back then. As for the rest of it, it seems pretty far fetched. Especially the Men in Black and the soldiers.

    This is an incredible story. I usually refrain from saying anything negative about these experiences that people are willing to share with us. With that being said, I just dont know if I fully believe this. The one thing that makes me question it is, how the juvenile sasquatch keeps coming back to him and then going to Tim and inside their house before he was eventually shot. It doesnt make sense that a even a juvenile sasquatch would behave this way, when you have to assume since birth they are taught to avoid humans. Also the fact that the parents just ran away, leaving the juvenile. Wouldnt they have called out or signaled to it to follow them, given how serious the situation was with gun shots being fired? For them to flee, and not make an attempt to get their child goes against ANY species behavior. Any other encounters Ive heard that involve the young ones, the parents will face death to protect them, which is typical of most humans as well, just natural instinct and the bond between parent and child. It seems highly unlikely in my humble opinion that it would play out that way. My guess would have been if the parents did flee, and the juvenile was still there, they would have called out or came back for it. But even if they didnt, I feel like the juvenile wouldnt have just stayed there and kept coming back, to someone he had just met. It wasnt like they had been friends for years. If that were the case, then yeah, maybe he would react like that. Again, not trying to be disrespectful, just giving an opinion on what my thoughts were after hearing this. I could be totally wrong. I feel like anything is possible, so whos to say.

I believe in Bigfoot and I get laughed at all the time for admitting that I do. Even the stories that seem to be too fantastical do not make me skeptical, however this one does.

    When I was a kid there was a field were me and my friends built a tree house. It was on large field maybe 500 ft wide and 2000 ft deep, one side had a hobby farm, the other three sides were rimmed with trees that had gave way to suburbs after a few dozen feet. The field was filled with these bushes that were about 4-7 ft tall, with long grass growing up in between them. In the centre of the field was a cluster of trees we built the tree house in. As we were building it, and clearing some bushes we found these 'tunnels'.
    The tunnels themselves ran in the bushes, completely invisible from the outside but quite homely on the inside. The tunnels all had hard packed earthen floors, the bushes branches made natural roofs overhead and they seemed to stretch out in every direction. They were wide enough for a child of 10-15 to comfortable walk on their hands and knees through but too short to stand. We would find larger cleared areas big enough for two or three kids to lay down in but the most interesting thing was that there was no entrance or exit. No noticeable hole anywhere in these bushes that would even give a clue to the tunnels hidden behind them. You simply had to force your way in through the foliage were you knew a tunnel to be.
    When we told our parents about it, they said it was probably just deer who made them. I remember thinking to myself, why would a deer want to crawl through a bush? The beginning of this movie suddenly reminded me of it.

      And now that I know the extent of sasquatch in this area I'm pretty sure that's what made those trails. There's no hogs or coyotes around here. But plenty of sasquatch. They are most likely still using those scrub brush trails to move around unseen and for shelter.

    I'm very open-minded about Bigfoot existing and I think there's a very real chance that he does, but I think this story is indeed "incredible" in the literal sense of the word. There are practically countless aspects to this story that require you to suspend varying (and at times, enormous) amounts of disbelief for the story to make any sense. If you strip away all of the fantastic detail and elements that are woven into this narrative, you are left with a set of alleged facts that sound either directly out of a science-fiction movie or a paranoid person suffering from psychosis:
    A network of bushes that have been hollowed out and interiorly decorated by sasquatches with manmade objects yet are barely tall enough for a 10-year-old boy to stand in?
    A boy who is abducted by sasquatches yet miraculously survives but is too traumatized to ever speak about what happened in the woods?
    A babysitter who repeatedly lets the child they're watching go out of sight into a cornfield to play with an orangutan in Michigan?
    Randy develops a playful relationship with what he thought was an orangutan?
    The juvenile sasquatch is somehow perfectly able to mimic and extrapolate the sound of a cat meowing even though it's likely never heard a cat meow before?
    The juvenile sasquatch is able to produce "infrasound" to a paralyzing effect?
    The juvenile sasquatch's face looks like its boiling when it produces a sound?
    The sasquatches' eyes turn a glowing red when they become angry?
    They were able to kill a juvenile sasquatch and determine that it, despite being ostensibly anatomically similar to humans and primates, has two hearts, and a boy took pictures of this autopsy yet none of those pictures survived?
    A mysterious tribal organization that is not funded by the government yet somehow has memory-loss-inducing drugs and conveniently removes the sole body of the juvenile sasquatch?
    The news, police and National Guard are involved at numerous points in this story and there's no public record of any of this happening?
    There are countless witnesses throughout and none of them are alive / able to corroborate this story at all?
    He doesn't begin to remember any of these events until 20 years after they occurred and then suddenly is able to draw and recount them perfectly after 40 years?
    Virtually any of these questions are incredibly difficult to explain using real-world logic and science on their own, and the claim that they all occurred as drawn and recounted is almost completely impossible to believe. The drawings themselves all have a cartoon-like quality to them. Granted, he allegedly had no prior artistic interest or training, but none of them seem to resemble even an attempt at a photorealistic drawing. I think it's significantly more likely that he's simply a very creative person who came up with this far-fetched narrative and perhaps legitimately believes it. If he took the time to write this narrative down in detail for himself and spent years rehearsing and ruminating the scenes / memories, I don't think it would be hard for him to recount them in a way that appears like he is pulling from real memories. He likely has even built this alternate reality for himself such that he genuinely believes what he is saying. In effect, he would genuinely be recalling these details from memories, but the memories were manufactured, not experienced.

    Great video Bob.

When I say that when not in school or some extracurricular activities that we were gone all day, I mean all day, often miles away from home. Sometimes we would go back to eat lunch, sometimes not. Our bicycles were the equivalent of cars for adults, and we rode them anywhere we could. As long as I was home for supper, it was okay. This may seem like neglect, but I assure you that somehow my mother knew where I was and who I was with when any trouble occurred. I know the idea must sound incredibly foreign to you, but if you were to somehow go back to that time with me or any other ’70’s child, after getting over the technological shock, I believe you would revel in the freedom we had. I’m incredibly grateful for having grown up at that place in time. Anyways, what an amazing story man, the mind boggles.

Would make sense that one boy disappeared then appeared the next day and wouldn't talk, and the stuff in that barn or whatever couldve been his mind replacing it with a sasquatch playing with him instead of a man having his way with him. This entire story felt like it was a molestation story but edited for virgin ears.

Add the guy not being an artist until he drew these creatures and that’s it. I had to draw the line somewhere. The guy is not only a gifted artist, but should be an author as well !

    This is an extremely interesting story and Mike's behaviour is very believable. I would say that Randy forgetting the whole thing and rediscovering it years later could be a case of repressed memories or he even created some false memories after a traumatic event to explain why he only began remembering all of this at 30 years old. This is sounds more realistic to me rather than some top secret government memory removal scheme.

I made a comment a couple of years ago on one of your videos about the Dogman and you asked me in response, "Do you think they are biological?" to which I replied yes.

    Late 70's was VERY common to just go out and be out for the weekend as a kid. It was a different time. As a kid (this is late 80's early 90's), my parents dropped me off at the roller rink when it opened, gave me $5 for snacks and drinks, misc. They would go pick me up after it closed. So as a 9-11 year old, I'd be by myself for a good 7 hours with lots of strangers and if I needed a parent, I had to use the phone at the front desk and ask nicely, otherwise meet at the place around the time. Today it would certainly be child endangerment. Things moved slower back then, like finding a specific library book might take weeks of asking different reference librarians and big branch libraries. "Hey mom, going camping with my friend tonight" "Ok, have fun".

    Randy's art is amazing. Even if it was all fiction it would be worth its own novel or short story. There are some aspects of the story that are especially fantastic particularly the extending fangs, red eyes and 'bubbling face' because there's little or no natural precedent for those things. Not that it's impossible but it's fantastic. I think there are elements of illusion or manipulated memory or perception in many, if not all, paranormal encounters. Details that are illusions, subconscious coping mechanisms, planted memories, group hysteria, post-encounter rationalizations .. there are so many possibilities when it comes to recalling details from memory. I think this is why it's important to record details as soon after an event as possible when it is still fresh, especially to remind yourself that it did happen.
