When I was 13 (1974) my father and I hiked Philmont Scout Ranch in New Mexico. Coming down the back side of Mt Baldy, we were with a couple other scouts on a gravel road. We were doing kid stuff, like who could throw a rock the farthest, who could whistle the loudest and a single tree branch break came from a few feet inside the tree line. We all stopped as we hadn’t seen a soul since leaving the summit. This happened about every 30 minutes for an hour and a half. Just when we would relax a bit, “Crack”, Would come from our five o’clock position and about the same distance. It was pretty unsettling. Never saw anything though. Don’t know what that was, but seemed very intentional.
Thank you so much Sheila for your bravery and your amazing courage. I mean I don't how or what I would've done at age 11 if I was you and I would've seen the sasquatchs. I don't know if I could say it out loud either. Thanks for sharing with us!!!
Shelia, thank you for sharing your encounter. In the 70s, you just didn't talk about anything. It takes a lot of courage to come forward. Thank God, it's more accepted today. Chris, you do a phenomenal job listening to all of us. Thank you! This is a subject that certain individuals bully or laugh at those who have had these odd encounters. God Bless! ⛰️🌲👣
I'm laughing because I wrote this comment prior to your video finishing. I had zero idea you were going to discuss listening to people. It's just plain weird timing. I swear my crystal ball is broken. 🔮 😂
This was amazing to listen to. The entire conversation, Sheila's wonderful presence, the photographs you included were fantastic and show a piece of America that folks like myself will never experience in person. Thank you Chris and Sheila.
Just got back from the Ozarks, I drove up there with my mother and stepfather to record the eclipse.. We passed a couple wildlife signs while riding around scouting for places to watch the eclipse from up near Jasper AR and one of the signs had a bigfoot on it.. As soon as we passed it my mother says, "I'd hate to hit a sasquatch, how in the hell would I explain that to the insurance company?" lol.. We had some good times up there, love it..
its these type of people that attract weird things... i had a friend visit our property once and out of nowhere she said "Id hate to find a dead foal in the dam" and i said "yeah, what are chances haha.." next minute !!!! we find one!!!! she had never been this far from home and had no idea of farming life. weird.
That had to be absolutely paralyzing for anyone, much more an eleven year old 😳 I’m so glad people have this channel and feel safe to come forward with these experiences 💜
Shelia is so well spoken. Her memories of her encounter(s) were such a treat to listen to. She did such a wonderful job of recounting her experience!! It felt as if I was right there with her!! Thank you, Shelia, for sharing and thank you, Chris, for providing a platform for these encounters to be shared.
Back in the early 1990s while doing military night time exercises back in the forest behind Albert Head on CFB Esquimalt, Vancouver Island, I remember how eerily quiet it would sometimes get at night. Insect noises would stop and even the racoons would go away.
BC has so many sightings - Nass Valley, Vancouver Island, Squamish, Kootneys and north western BC. Not surprising to hear those descriptions about military (and law enforcement too) sightings. I wonder if you were being watched but were busy with your military exercises which might have been interesting to Sasquatch or at least watching as a look-out.
If you google British Columbia/NWT/Yukon Sasquatch sightings you'll find a link for Bigfoot forums and the link is there for a provincial bigfoot sightings map. www.google.com/maps/d/u/0/viewer?mid=1oUzrtOcvHs6Px-EfTRTdLt0cfDA&ll=48.38857716003227%2C-123.50303082270966&z=13&fbclid=IwAR3c2s1Qy4MCztXYtQW6UDlbQzmnVFjw3hgnX8fnJBePRvbTk8fBsoEBTaM
Hiking, cooking and camping in the Sierra Nevada Mountain's! This why i fell in love with this channel. Thank you BCC! Hope all is well with you and keep these videos coming.
Thank you so much Sheila for telling your story and to Chris for bringing it to us. As someone who lives in Missouri and my sister lives in the Ozarks, this one was especially interesting to me. Thank you so much!
@@SheilaKiss-ck9vdI went to the site and looked up more of your family history. What a wonderful family and the photos are great! I hope you have many fond memories and thank you so much for sharing!
When I was about 5-7 years old, I was alone in the forest, and somewhere 100 meters away I saw a wolf. I started screaming for help, no one heard me. I stood rooted to the spot for over half an hour. After that I don't remember what happened. However, after all, I discover that the terrible wolf was a charred fence post, after a fire that happened probably a decade earlier, because everything else was normal. Nature as nature is the most powerful, and our minds are subject to various "conspiracies". "There is always someone around to threaten us"! Which in reality is only part of our imaginary innate fears.
There are skeptics out there and that's ok. Sometimes things happen that cannot be explained. That's why people are hesitant about talking to other people about their experiences. Some things cannot just be explained away. I've had a few paranormal experiences personally but I'm cautious about telling just anyone! Life is a mystery and I believe what is impossible can be possible. There is so much out there that we aren't aware of. ❤
What r u trying to say those who are claiming to have seen something all are false ? Just because u haven’t experienced anything yet doesn’t mean they don’t exist.

It is always good to remind people of how powerful the mind is. I have had some paranormal experiences but I have also thought that I have seen things that turned out to be mundanen like a UFO (it was a plane landing) and an anomalous large black cat (this was a pademelon: a dark colored wallaby).
I have to add this to the comment i already put in here, i was watching one of ur video's , you were in your tent staying overnight, you were showing some of your gear , you had the whistle you carry around your neck sometimes. A lock blade knift. And the pistol you bring , nice one , 357 , large heavy duty gun. And it made my day when you showed it to viewers. Im a firm believer in protecting yourself. But have had a few people give me a hard time , some think no firearms should be allowed on government land, co. State or federal.
Except he should have cooked the burger with the onions and basted it throughout the cooking. Also, adding butter while cooking is suggested. All this from Chef Gordon Ramsay
Burgers over a campfire. Food tastes the best when you cook outdoors in nature. Trees swaying in the breeze. Birds chirping. Flowers blooming. Very therapeutic.
Great story. I, too, grew up in the 70s, and I had grandparents that lived in the ozarks close to branson. We always went there in the summer. That's where my mom was from. My grandmother lived to be 98. Haven't been back since. Missed those days.
Sheila you are a very brave young lady. Thank you for coming forward and sharing. And that poor little boy but the sasquatch did not hurt him. Thank you Chris. Nice tent. Your hamburger bun looked like it might hit the ground lol
Thankyou, Chris and Sheila. I can understand, bc I've seen these creatures from the age of 6. Am 62 now. Just got away from them after 20 yrs. Living where they are. It helps so much to talk about it. I'm mildly autistic, Idk if they were attracted by that, but I had PTSD from being harrassed by them below Warsaw,Mo. before the Corp. Of engineers flooded the area and made the Lakes. God bless you and give you peace.❤ ------Missouri
You do an excellent job on your videos, Chris. Just want you to know there exists a large group of us that genuinely appreciate you as an individual, and your style of video and everything you do to make these. Please know that we absolutely adore your channel. My love to you and your family.
Wow, Sheila, what an excellent account of your experiences! My husband and I listened together and were impressed at how articulate you are, and the precise details you gave about everything. I'm glad that you were eventually able to tell your story, and were validated by your uncle and your grandmother. Now you are validated by Base Camp Chris' audience. And thanks, Chris, for Sheila's story and that of the little 8 year old who was picked up by the sasquatch. Good grief, I can understand why he had an out of body experience. And your buffalo burgers made my mouth water, Chris. 🙂
Chris! How in the world can you tell these TRUE SCARY stories while being out there alone? Man, you are brave. Thank you for your delivery, compassion when telling the story, your passion, how you edit your videos, etc,. I listen to you when I try to sleep at night because I know I'm safe under my covers in the comfort of my own home. Lol.
Chris, you’re the best story teller on UA-cam!!! Thanks for all you do and sharing with us. Dang, now I need a burger after seeing what you just cooked!!! Be safe buddy!! Dennis
What a Wonderful story! I have to agree with Sheila. I think one is chosen because let's face it, they blend in so amazingly to their surroundings. If they don't want to be seen, you're not going to see one. Are there times when they accidentally show themselves? Sure. But for the most part, it's their choice, imo. As always Chris, great stuff!! Thank you for Sharing Sheila! So awesome! ❤
You can tell these encounters are real by the tone of their voice and hear the excitement and anxiety. You are a gem for giving people a place to speak up. Did I miss a tour of the inside of the tent?
What a great video. Like everyone else, I too look forward to your adventures and/or the stories you share on Sundays, Your commitment to detail in developing these does not go unnoticed. Thanks so much for all you do.💚
Thank You Chris so enjoy everyone's stories and encounters love your video Glad Your safe I'm glad you were surrounded with other people and kids Aloha and GOD Bless You Chrissy Honolulu HI 🥰🌹🙏
28:46 love seeing the photos of the land and stuff where this happened! So neat! And of her grandmother. It really helps put the story together in your mind. Great video! Thanks for sharing your encounter! And thank you chris for putting the video together and letting us hear it.
I truly enjoyed the story from Miller County Arkansas and I am researching the Historical society to find her grandmothers account of her bigfoot encounter. I just love it when there is historical information to look at. I would love to work at a small town museum with lots of history. Just wanted to say thank you for getting and sharing these stories with us. Years ago my son went with a wonderful girl that grew up in northern Idaho and she remembered as a young 5 or 6 year old playing with her cousins and there was a "monkey" that came and played with them when they were at their grandparents. This was just one summer but it came to play several times and she thinks there was a parent watching from behind trees and bushes out back. I wish I still had contact with her so she could tell you her story.
Hello…it’s Miller County in Missouri- Lake of the Ozarks. Thank you for researching about my family. As soon as I get my hands on the article my cousin has I will post it.
Thank you Chris and Shelia! I really enjoyed hearing this story. It's a treat to hear any bigfoot story, but especially from such a genuine person. We all wished we had more gentle people like you, Shelia, in the world. I say this because, well, it takes one to know one! My sense is, and I am not being facetious at all, is that this particular bigfoot or bigfoots also sensed your genuine personality and had become "your shadow", because they were drawn your innocent nature. Other stories I've heard where the comminucation between the bigfoot and the person involved, wasn't one of the typical fear and dread, but rather a more peaceful exchange. I believe this is due to the fascination that bigfoots have with more innocent at heart people, or even children. Just a thought. Take care, Hillary
I am a gentle soul Hillary 💕 I believe he didn’t feel threatened because he also was exposing himself to my sister, had she been more in tune with the situation…I’ve wondered many times how it may have reacted if she had turned around and screamed. Thank you, for your beautiful thoughts!
hollow (noun) A small, sheltered valley that usually but not necessarily has a watercourse. And you are right, all the people you've interviewed have seemed 100 percent sincere and believable. I'm also surprised you can eat two big burgers at once! Thank you for your excellent storytelling Chris. Its much appreciated.
Wow Chris what a great story. I am from Missouri I used to go to the Lake of the Ozarks in the summer months with my aunt and uncle I now live in Indiana. ...the burgers look so good. Have a great evening.
Another amazing post and thank you for relaying your encounters and your family history! And what a large family -- compared to those of us who only had one or two siblings and didn't get to grow up near our grandparents, uncles or cousins etc. Chris, love the stream, waterfalls and mts shots! Really nice that no one stole your tent and fancy stove while you were out hiking! And you blow up your tent? And they actually still let people bury family in family cemeteries? Best, from Colorado!
That was an excellent, excellent video :) Setting up camp, hiking, the scenery, great story with photographs, sitting by the fire at night, coffee in the morning....so enjoyable :) Loved the second story (what a treat). The burgers looked amazing and the condiments looked great laid out on the board. What an excellent video, thanks for everything :)
What a wonderful lady. She sure had an incredible time during her youth. The farm must have been a loving beautiful place to share with family. Thanks for sharing with us 🥰❤️
Chris, thank you for that wonderful interview with Sheila! It was so interesting hearing all the details of her encounters when she was young. We used to camp in the ADKs, but are too old for that now so it's great watching your adventures. I've been a listener since the very beginning! I'm glad to see how your channel has grown. Keep hiking, Chris!
Hi Chris!! I’ve been a sub a while now. I love camping and the stories and you. I’m a 74 yr old girl with a youthful and physically active nature life. So yes. I love your channel. I just wish you were my lil brother and I could be camping with you. You’re such a gentleman. Thank you, Chris!! You’re a great storyteller. Don’t stop!!
We lived in Morgan County, next to Miller County, in the 70’s, and we heard it at least 3 times. We also lived in a “holler,” next to a creek, about 15 miles south of Stover. It was night when we heard it. It started as a sound of when a chicken is caught (the sound they make). We had chickens so my first thought was that something got into our chicken house. But it got very loud and intense and then it started screaming a blood curdling scream and at the same time as the scream it was also snarling like a wolf or dog attacking something. Literally sounded like someone being killed. It scared the crap out of us kids. Our mom wasn’t home. My oldest brother was 22, 23, and I was 13 at the time. It never took a breath during all this. It carried on for probably 1/2 a minute or longer. It sounded like it was right outside our house. Horrendously loud! The next night we were telling my sister, who just got home from staying somewhere else, about what we heard and just as we were telling her, we heard it again, same sounds, by our house. Another time, my little sister and I had stopped at a gooseberry bush to get gooseberries to take home and eat with salt. My brothers had walked on home from the school bus stop at the county road. The lane home was about 1/2 mile. Anyway, as we were at the bush, it screamed and snarled again (without the chicken sound) and it sounded like it was at this barn we had to walk by to get home. We hid under the bush for about 30 minutes, then walked home. I told my sister to not run because our mom always said don’t run from predators. That was around the same time period as the other experiences at the house. It was 1976. After those experiences we didn’t hear it anymore. I believe Sheila. Also, my family is from Iberia and we might be related. That would be Whittle’s and Keeth’s.
My sister and I did go to visit the old home place in the holler, one day, about 20 years ago and we heard a tree fall up that holler, then another soon after much closer, then another, then another really close to us within about 1 minute time, and we left there. We didn’t run. Haha. I’ve never been back. We had to walk to get in there, so we had to also hike back out.
Wow, great show Chris! I want you to know I really enjoy every show but today's was a little bit different experience. I thoroughly enjoyed listening to Sheila"s encounter while watching you set up your campsite. What an incredible sighting she had. Oh, and I love all the camping equipment too. Great tent, by the way. The stove, everything, just incredible! And a second story! Watch out, you're going to spoil us. Thanks for sharing these stories with us. I never miss a show!
Wow that tent is so cool! Love the woodstove ! I can’t do camping any more my camping must have a bed so I can get up with these bum legs but your set up is just awesome! Thanking you for this great interview
Great episode and wonderful watching you set up your camp, cook your burger, and walk along that beautiful creek. I have about five favorite channels on UA-cam (too much junk on UA-cam) but yours is at the top of my short list. Chris, I am three weeks out from triple bypass cardiac surgery and watching your videos and those few other channels I like has seen me through a bunch of long nights of post surgery pain. Your channel brings me back to my youth living on our family farm in southwestern Pennsylvania. My life has taken me from there to 15 years I spent as a Norwegian Jaegerkommandoen Marine where I was wounded in combat in Central Europe during the Serbian war. I have lived in London, in Oslo, Norway, Rio de Janiero among other places but watching your channel always brings me back to my boyhood and youth on our now long lost farm. Thank you Chris for what you do. I will continue to tune in.
About 1956-58 I was about 4 or 5 yrs old, my father was a lumber jack so we were staying in a loggoing camp way up north in British Columbia canada, anyway I was sleeping on a cot under a big window it was late at night and I was awakened by a noise b At the window I looked up and saw a very large human like face looking in, the moon was shining on it so it looked kind of white anyway I was so scared , I wanted to scream but I was scared of waking my brutish father so I choose to move as close to the window wall as I could on my side so it couldn't see me, I layed awake f until morning told my mom there was a big face looking in the window in the night, she just said well when you play outside today stay out of the woods
She mentioned that the horse's must have sensed something and took off. In my encounter, the horse's had no response at all. One was actually asleep on my shoulder a couple of minutes before I saw it. I always wondered why the horse's didn't react, because they don't miss much, then it occurred to me that maybe they were used to it.
@@bradleymadosh911 DNA has shown the mitochondria from the mother is human. The nuclear DNA is unknown. Nothing in their data bank compared to it. I braid my horses hair out of love and just spending time with him. Maybe it's the same?
Great video Chris with another interesting scary story. You should come up to Ontario and camp at the Algonquin Provincial Park, it's a lovely scenic park. There have been some Sasquatch reports in and around the park.
Thank you to Sheila of the Ozarks (now transplanted to Iowa, if I heard correctly) for sharing her childhood encounters, along with her relatives. Got to be an active area. Those buffalo burgers looked yummy. Can't imagine being picked up by a sasquatch and having it study me....gave me the shivers. He might've blanked out after that as one of the teachers had to carry him. Thanks Chris for taking us along on the camp out, it was a busy campground at least you were not completely alone out there.
Absolutely superb video! Really great production quality here, Chris! I loved hearing Sheila’s account, and you couldn’t have picked a more beautiful spot to spend the night. As always, I enjoy your campfire and cooking segments too. Those kids would have driven me nuts though, bless their hearts. LOL. You handled it so well! Where were the parents? 😂 Anyways, I thoroughly enjoyed this like always, have a great day!
@@basecampchris exactly. Me and my brothers would have never been allowed to run around after dark screaming like banshees in a campground, waking other people up. But it’s a different time I guess! 🤣🤦🏼♀️
Evening Chris....finally got time to watch your 🎥 video... Glad you are finally camping 🏕...looks like a nice spot to set up your ⛺️... It was really nice of Sheila to tell us her story and about her family... Being 11 years old, I can just imagine how she felt...confused but 😱 frightened 🫣 at what she saw...especially face to face with a Sasquatch... Great Story!! Thanks for Sharing, Sheila!!!
Amazing story, and amazing camping set up!! You could live in that tent for a month in the winter time with that tent and accessories!! What a cool set up.
When i had my encounter in 2013 i was sitting by my fire ring in my yard with a fire burning in my yard. He came up on the other side of my fire ring so we were like 12 feet apart. He was over 10 feet tall and like close to 4 and a half or 5 feet wide. I had my cellphone in my hand listening to music with my earbuds in and i never thought of even trying to get a pic or video. As a matter of fact at some point i dropped my cell so i was in my house for 3 days without a way to even call anyone. I thought of it as a Mountain Monster. Bigfoot or Sasquatch never came to my mind, atleast ot til 2020 when i started watching videos and hearing the calls and wood knocks. I dont know what to believe anymore. I especially dont trust the people in charge anymore, why are we not being warned about these things?
Amazing how someone wouldnt think about pictures.People take pictures of their food for God's sake.I have never thought of taking pictures of my dinner.
@@masterofreality1552In 1970 & as an 11 year old, you didn’t have a camera hanging around your neck. Plus, you’re not expecting the circumstances you find yourself in.
@@masterofreality1552the woman dropped her phone and left it outside for three days for God’s sake. When you think your life is potentially threatened the last thing you will think of is to grab a photo before you die. You can’t even imagine what it feels like to see something that shouldn’t exist…. Something beyond gargantuous and in human form. Shock is what your mind is immersed in. It’s astounding how people constantly say what you said here. LMFAO Nobody THINKS!!!!!
Suzanne from St. Louis, MO, here, and I’m a little younger than Sheila. My parents took us to the Ozarks for a couple vacations, and even though our house in the suburbs backed up to lots of woods & farmland, the Ozark area always spooked me. I hadn’t heard about Big Foot at that time, so I’m not sure why I was always so uneasy. But as I’ve gotten older, I’ve learned to pay attention to those feelings and be on high alert.
When I was 13 (1974) my father and I hiked Philmont Scout Ranch in New Mexico. Coming down the back side of Mt Baldy, we were with a couple other scouts on a gravel road.

We have a family lake house at the Lake of the Ozarks for 45 years and always wondered what could be lurking around!
Did you ever go look around or hear anything making screams or weird noises?

It is always good to remind people of how powerful the mind is. I have had some paranormal experiences but I have also thought that I have seen things that turned out to be mundanen like a UFO (it was a plane landing) and an anomalous large black cat (this was a pademelon: a dark colored wallaby).
Those screaming kids are scarier than a Bigfoot!
🤣🤣🤣
You get all the way out of the city, and what's the 1st thing you hear when you are looking forward to a nice outdoor meal? 😢
Hello Chris! 😊 Thank you for another great story camp ❤ keep hiking 🥾🥾
More to come! Thanks 🐵🌲👀🍺
I can picture that Folgers commercial. I’m so old haha.
Congratulations on the subs going up and up 124.000👏👏👏👏 well done and well deserved 🕊️🙋♀️
I have to add this to the comment i already put in here, i was watching one of ur video's , you were in your tent staying overnight, you were showing some of your gear , you had the whistle you carry around your neck sometimes. A lock blade knift. And the pistol you bring , nice one , 357 , large heavy duty gun. And it made my day when you showed it to viewers. Im a firm believer in protecting yourself. But have had a few people give me a hard time , some think no firearms should be allowed on government land, co. State or federal.
Good story Chris. Burgers cooked over an open wood fire always taste great.
Except he should have cooked the burger with the onions and basted it throughout the cooking. Also, adding butter while cooking is suggested. All this from Chef Gordon Ramsay
Burgers over a campfire. Food tastes the best when you cook outdoors in nature. Trees swaying in the breeze. Birds chirping. Flowers blooming. Very therapeutic.
@@LaoSoftwareRight??…..couldn’t agree more with you…💙💙💙
Great story. I, too, grew up in the 70s, and I had grandparents that lived in the ozarks close to branson. We always went there in the summer. That's where my mom was from. My grandmother lived to be 98. Haven't been back since. Missed those days.
Happy to see you Chris and hear another great, chilling story!
Sheila you are a very brave young lady. Thank you for coming forward and sharing. And that poor little boy but the sasquatch did not hurt him. Thank you Chris. Nice tent. Your hamburger bun looked like it might hit the ground lol
Thank you! 😊
Thanks Chris for your stories and your uplifting demeanor
Amazing Event!! I am so glad Shelia shared her encounter with us. WOWOW JUST WOW!!
Thank you Shelia and Chris.
Yes it was! She did a great job! Bcc
Giving countless people a platform to confidently vent their experiences. Thanks for being you, Chris.
Thankyou, Chris and Sheila. I can understand, bc I've seen these creatures from the age of 6. Am 62 now. Just got away from them after 20 yrs. Living where they are.
It helps so much to talk about it. I'm mildly autistic, Idk if they were attracted by that, but I had PTSD from being harrassed by them below Warsaw,Mo. before the Corp. Of engineers flooded the area and made the Lakes. God bless you and give you peace.❤ ------Missouri
You do an excellent job on your videos, Chris. Just want you to know there exists a large group of us that genuinely appreciate you as an individual, and your style of video and everything you do to make these. Please know that we absolutely adore your channel. My love to you and your family.
Wow, Sheila, what an excellent account of your experiences! My husband and I listened together and were impressed at how articulate you are, and the precise details you gave about everything. I'm glad that you were eventually able to tell your story, and were validated by your uncle and your grandmother. Now you are validated by Base Camp Chris' audience. And thanks, Chris, for Sheila's story and that of the little 8 year old who was picked up by the sasquatch. Good grief, I can understand why he had an out of body experience. And your buffalo burgers made my mouth water, Chris. 🙂
Those burgers did look tasty, right
Thank you! 💕
Chris! How in the world can you tell these TRUE SCARY stories while being out there alone? Man, you are brave. Thank you for your delivery, compassion when telling the story, your passion, how you edit your videos, etc,. I listen to you when I try to sleep at night because I know I'm safe under my covers in the comfort of my own home. Lol.
Chris, you’re the best story teller on UA-cam!!! Thanks for all you do and sharing with us. Dang, now I need a burger after seeing what you just cooked!!! Be safe buddy!!
Dennis
What a Wonderful story! I have to agree with Sheila. I think one is chosen because let's face it, they blend in so amazingly to their surroundings. If they don't want to be seen, you're not going to see one.
Are there times when they accidentally show themselves? Sure. But for the most part, it's their choice, imo.
As always Chris, great stuff!!
Thank you for Sharing Sheila!
So awesome!
❤
Thank you! 😊
Thanks miss citty! Bcc ⛺️🌲🌟

LOVED THE LONG FORMAT !!!!!
Listening to you is like spending time with a dear friend. Thank you and God bless you, Chris.
Wow, thank you / appreciate it…c
Great! And a whole hour...oh goody! Made my day!
This is way different Chris, great job. We loved it!
You can tell these encounters are real by the tone of their voice and hear the excitement and anxiety. You are a gem for giving people a place to speak up. Did I miss a tour of the inside of the tent?
Thank you! 😊
Appreciated….c
Love that new tent Chris, were buying that exact same one!
What a great video. Like everyone else, I too look forward to your adventures and/or the stories you share on Sundays, Your commitment to detail in developing these does not go unnoticed. Thanks so much for all you do.💚
Thank You Chris so enjoy everyone's stories and encounters love your video Glad Your safe I'm glad you were surrounded with other people and kids Aloha and GOD Bless You Chrissy Honolulu HI 🥰🌹🙏
28:46 love seeing the photos of the land and stuff where this happened! So neat! And of her grandmother. It really helps put the story together in your mind. Great video! Thanks for sharing your encounter! And thank you chris for putting the video together and letting us hear it.
I truly enjoyed the story from Miller County Arkansas and I am researching the Historical society to find her grandmothers account of her bigfoot encounter. I just love it when there is historical information to look at. I would love to work at a small town museum with lots of history. Just wanted to say thank you for getting and sharing these stories with us. Years ago my son went with a wonderful girl that grew up in northern Idaho and she remembered as a young 5 or 6 year old playing with her cousins and there was a "monkey" that came and played with them when they were at their grandparents. This was just one summer but it came to play several times and she thinks there was a parent watching from behind trees and bushes out back. I wish I still had contact with her so she could tell you her story.
Hello…it’s Miller County in Missouri- Lake of the Ozarks. Thank you for researching about my family. As soon as I get my hands on the article my cousin has I will post it.
Forgot. Are you doing a Spot for Home & Garden. Cant wait for you to actually go out and Camp in the woods!
Thanks Sheila,very good testimonial.
😊
Great Show! Thank you. Loved the format of listening to your conversation and watching you set up camp. Great shots.
Thank you Chris and Shelia! I really enjoyed hearing this story. It's a treat to hear any bigfoot story, but especially from such a genuine person. We all wished we had more gentle people like you, Shelia, in the world. I say this because, well, it takes one to know one! My sense is, and I am not being facetious at all, is that this particular bigfoot or bigfoots also sensed your genuine personality and had become "your shadow", because they were drawn your innocent nature. Other stories I've heard where the comminucation between the bigfoot and the person involved, wasn't one of the typical fear and dread, but rather a more peaceful exchange. I believe this is due to the fascination that bigfoots have with more innocent at heart people, or even children. Just a thought. Take care, Hillary
I am a gentle soul Hillary 💕 I believe he didn’t feel threatened because he also was exposing himself to my sister, had she been more in tune with the situation…I’ve wondered many times how it may have reacted if she had turned around and screamed. Thank you, for your beautiful thoughts!
Best vids on UA-cam!! Keep up the great work Chris
Thanks! Will do!🐵🌲👀🍺
hollow (noun) A small, sheltered valley that usually but not necessarily has a watercourse. And you are right, all the people you've interviewed have seemed 100 percent sincere and believable. I'm also surprised you can eat two big burgers at once! Thank you for your excellent storytelling Chris. Its much appreciated.
Do you suppose all that hiking works up an appetite?
In that and other parts of the country people call them hollers, and that is not a mistake. It is the commonly used term.
She was the same age as me. I’m from Ohio. My grandparents lived on a mountain in Pennsylvania with miles off woods. Never saw anything, but loved it!
Wow Chris what a great story. I am from Missouri I used to go to the Lake of the Ozarks in the summer months with my aunt and uncle I now live in Indiana. ...the burgers look so good. Have a great evening.
😊
Cheers from Okanagan valley British Columbia 🇨🇦
Hey from London Ontario 🍁🇨🇦
Hi fellow BCer, from the Fraser Valley!
Another amazing post and thank you for relaying your encounters and your family history! And what a large family -- compared to those of us who only had one or two siblings and didn't get to grow up near our grandparents, uncles or cousins etc. Chris, love the stream, waterfalls and mts shots! Really nice that no one stole your tent and fancy stove while you were out hiking! And you blow up your tent? And they actually still let people bury family in family cemeteries? Best, from Colorado!
😊💕
It was oddly satisfying watching you set up camp while we heard Sheila tell her story. Then yummy burgers and another story - doesn't get any better!
That was an excellent, excellent video :) Setting up camp, hiking, the scenery, great story with photographs, sitting by the fire at night, coffee in the morning....so enjoyable :) Loved the second story (what a treat). The burgers looked amazing and the condiments looked great laid out on the board. What an excellent video, thanks for everything :)
What a wonderful lady. She sure had an incredible time during her youth. The farm must have been a loving beautiful place to share with family. Thanks for sharing with us 🥰❤️
Yes, thank you
Thanks Chris. Always entertaining & appreciated. ❤
Happy Hiking.
This is just as awesome as it was 6 months ago
Thanks again, Chris.
You're Awesome!
STAY SAFE
KEEP ADVENTURING
GOD BLESS YOU
Chris, thank you for that wonderful interview with Sheila! It was so interesting hearing all the details of her encounters when she was young. We used to camp in the ADKs, but are too old for that now so it's great watching your adventures. I've been a listener since the very beginning! I'm glad to see how your channel has grown. Keep hiking, Chris!
Was that a person walking behind you to your left at around 18:25 minutes? When you were setting up your bed?
A big thumbs up for Shiela’s story and the way this video is put together. Makes me want to go camping.
Hi Chris!! I’ve been a sub a while now. I love camping and the stories and you. I’m a 74 yr old girl with a youthful and physically active nature life. So yes. I love your channel. I just wish you were my lil brother and I could be camping with you. You’re such a gentleman. Thank you, Chris!! You’re a great storyteller. Don’t stop!!
We lived in Morgan County, next to Miller County, in the 70’s, and we heard it at least 3 times. We also lived in a “holler,” next to a creek, about 15 miles south of Stover. It was night when we heard it. It started as a sound of when a chicken is caught (the sound they make). We had chickens so my first thought was that something got into our chicken house. But it got very loud and intense and then it started screaming a blood curdling scream and at the same time as the scream it was also snarling like a wolf or dog attacking something. Literally sounded like someone being killed. It scared the crap out of us kids. Our mom wasn’t home. My oldest brother was 22, 23, and I was 13 at the time. It never took a breath during all this. It carried on for probably 1/2 a minute or longer. It sounded like it was right outside our house. Horrendously loud! The next night we were telling my sister, who just got home from staying somewhere else, about what we heard and just as we were telling her, we heard it again, same sounds, by our house. Another time, my little sister and I had stopped at a gooseberry bush to get gooseberries to take home and eat with salt. My brothers had walked on home from the school bus stop at the county road. The lane home was about 1/2 mile. Anyway, as we were at the bush, it screamed and snarled again (without the chicken sound) and it sounded like it was at this barn we had to walk by to get home. We hid under the bush for about 30 minutes, then walked home. I told my sister to not run because our mom always said don’t run from predators. That was around the same time period as the other experiences at the house. It was 1976. After those experiences we didn’t hear it anymore. I believe Sheila. Also, my family is from Iberia and we might be related. That would be Whittle’s and Keeth’s.
My sister and I did go to visit the old home place in the holler, one day, about 20 years ago and we heard a tree fall up that holler, then another soon after much closer, then another, then another really close to us within about 1 minute time, and we left there. We didn’t run. Haha. I’ve never been back. We had to walk to get in there, so we had to also hike back out.
Interesting, we may be kin!
Chris, your tent is FANTASTIC!!
I always enjoy your videos, but this one stood out as one of the best. So well done!!❤❤❤
Wow, thanks!⛺️🌟😃🍺🦶
Really like the cool camp setup and of course the stories🌲
Glad you like them!
Im from Mountain View, Missouri, and I 100% believe her!!!
💕
THANK YOU, Chris & Sheila. This was great. I have no idea how the top of that bun stayed on the plate tho. That had me on the edge of my seat 😂
Right!!🍔
Wow, great show Chris! I want you to know I really enjoy every show but today's was a little bit different experience. I thoroughly enjoyed listening to Sheila"s encounter while watching you set up your campsite. What an incredible sighting she had. Oh, and I love all the camping equipment too. Great tent, by the way. The stove, everything, just incredible! And a second story! Watch out, you're going to spoil us. Thanks for sharing these stories with us. I never miss a show!
That is awesome! Thanks Griswold…. 🚙 appreciate it!! bcc kh!
Great video showing the camp set up and Sheila's story at the same time. Very entertaining and I am glad to find your channel.
Thanks for watching!
Thank you Chris and Shelia 🌹😎🇸🇪
😊
Hope it's a great Sunday, Chris. Thank you. 3:10
Great episode! Awesome interview and so happy to be back camping with you! What a killer set-up!!!
Wow that tent is so cool! Love the woodstove ! I can’t do camping any more my camping must have a bed so I can get up with these bum legs but your set up is just awesome! Thanking you for this great interview
Great episode and wonderful watching you set up your camp, cook your burger, and walk along that beautiful creek. I have about five favorite channels on UA-cam (too much junk on UA-cam) but yours is at the top of my short list. Chris, I am three weeks out from triple bypass cardiac surgery and watching your videos and those few other channels I like has seen me through a bunch of long nights of post surgery pain. Your channel brings me back to my youth living on our family farm in southwestern Pennsylvania. My life has taken me from there to 15 years I spent as a Norwegian Jaegerkommandoen Marine where I was wounded in combat in Central Europe during the Serbian war. I have lived in London, in Oslo, Norway, Rio de Janiero among other places but watching your channel always brings me back to my boyhood and youth on our now long lost farm. Thank you Chris for what you do. I will continue to tune in.
Hi Chris. Thank you for sharing your stories and taking us along with you. Keep Hiking!!!✌🙏❤
About 1956-58 I was about 4 or 5 yrs old, my father was a lumber jack so we were staying in a loggoing camp way up north in British Columbia canada, anyway I was sleeping on a cot under a big window it was late at night and I was awakened by a noise b
At the window I looked up and saw a very large human like face looking in, the moon was shining on it so it looked kind of white anyway I was so scared , I wanted to scream but I was scared of waking my brutish father so I choose to move as close to the window wall as I could on my side so it couldn't see me, I layed awake f until morning told my mom there was a big face looking in the window in the night, she just said well when you play outside today stay out of the woods
😳
She mentioned that the horse's must have sensed something and took off. In my encounter, the horse's had no response at all. One was actually asleep on my shoulder a couple of minutes before I saw it. I always wondered why the horse's didn't react, because they don't miss much, then it occurred to me that maybe they were used to it.
Hello, the horses did not take off. The Bigfoot did when it became aware of us.
There are stories of Sabe braiding the Horses tail and main. So I think they think the Sabe are humans maybe?
@@bradleymadosh911 DNA has shown the mitochondria from the mother is human. The nuclear DNA is unknown. Nothing in their data bank compared to it. I braid my horses hair out of love and just spending time with him. Maybe it's the same?
Great story Sheila. I’m hooked on your channel Chris.
Thanks so much for the video and interview!
😊
I always look at your Videos at night. before I go to sleep very good UA-cam channel👍💪
Great video Chris with another interesting scary story. You should come up to Ontario and camp at the Algonquin Provincial Park, it's a lovely scenic park. There have been some Sasquatch reports in and around the park.
And.. that campfire story was perfect! I love to think Sasquatch is more protective than people 49:40 might think. Thanks!!
🔥 🍔 🌲🌲🌲⛺️🌲🌲🌲
Thank you to Sheila of the Ozarks (now transplanted to Iowa, if I heard correctly) for sharing her childhood encounters, along with her relatives. Got to be an active area.
Those buffalo burgers looked yummy. Can't imagine being picked up by a sasquatch and having it study me....gave me the shivers. He might've blanked out after that as one of the teachers had to carry him. Thanks Chris for taking us along on the camp out, it was a busy campground at least you were not completely alone out there.
Absolutely superb video! Really great production quality here, Chris! I loved hearing Sheila’s account, and you couldn’t have picked a more beautiful spot to spend the night. As always, I enjoy your campfire and cooking segments too. Those kids would have driven me nuts though, bless their hearts. LOL. You handled it so well! Where were the parents? 😂 Anyways, I thoroughly enjoyed this like always, have a great day!
Hey G Thanks so much! Fun to be out with the good weather and nature! Yes - where were the parents??? lol...C🌲🐻🌲
@@basecampchris exactly. Me and my brothers would have never been allowed to run around after dark screaming like banshees in a campground, waking other people up. But it’s a different time I guess! 🤣🤦🏼♀️
Evening Chris....finally got time to watch your 🎥 video...
Glad you are finally camping 🏕...looks like a nice spot to set up your ⛺️...
It was really nice of Sheila to tell us her story and about her family...
Being 11 years old, I can just imagine how she felt...confused but 😱 frightened 🫣 at what she saw...especially face to face with a Sasquatch...
Great Story!! Thanks for Sharing, Sheila!!!
😊
Amazing story, and amazing camping set up!! You could live in that tent for a month in the winter time with that tent and accessories!! What a cool set up.
Thanks for the story Shelia. I grew up in the Ozarks and had a encounter when I was 10. You never forget the most traumatic event of your life.
You never do!
Thank you for sharing your story with Chris.
You're not alone!
PS.. Happy Birthday this month! 🎉🎂
Thank you!!🌲👍✨
Right on Base Camp Chris...
When i had my encounter in 2013 i was sitting by my fire ring in my yard with a fire burning in my yard. He came up on the other side of my fire ring so we were like 12 feet apart. He was over 10 feet tall and like close to 4 and a half or 5 feet wide. I had my cellphone in my hand listening to music with my earbuds in and i never thought of even trying to get a pic or video. As a matter of fact at some point i dropped my cell so i was in my house for 3 days without a way to even call anyone. I thought of it as a Mountain Monster. Bigfoot or Sasquatch never came to my mind, atleast ot til 2020 when i started watching videos and hearing the calls and wood knocks. I dont know what to believe anymore. I especially dont trust the people in charge anymore, why are we not being warned about these things?
Our authorities and government don't want to acknowledge their existence. Hope you're doing better.
Hello! Where in Georgia was this ?
Amazing how someone wouldnt think about pictures.People take pictures of their food for God's sake.I have never thought of taking pictures of my dinner.
@@masterofreality1552In 1970 & as an 11 year old, you didn’t have a camera hanging around your neck. Plus, you’re not expecting the circumstances you find yourself in.
@@masterofreality1552the woman dropped her phone and left it outside for three days for God’s sake. When you think your life is potentially threatened the last thing you will think of is to grab a photo before you die. You can’t even imagine what it feels like to see something that shouldn’t exist…. Something beyond gargantuous and in human form.
Shock is what your mind is immersed in.
It’s astounding how people constantly say what you said here. LMFAO
Nobody THINKS!!!!!
Wow, great story and interview, love that fancy tent. Looks like there's extra room in there for all of us. Have fun, thx
Another great story. Thanks Chris 😊
Thank you for sharing your story...I cannot imagine the shock and terror Sheila...Great camping setup Chris.. Stay safe out there :)
Suzanne from St. Louis, MO, here, and I’m a little younger than Sheila. My parents took us to the Ozarks for a couple vacations, and even though our house in the suburbs backed up to lots of woods & farmland, the Ozark area always spooked me. I hadn’t heard about Big Foot at that time, so I’m not sure why I was always so uneasy. But as I’ve gotten older, I’ve learned to pay attention to those feelings and be on high alert.
Hello Chris 😊😊😊nice to see your happy face😊😊😊😊
