    I’m a 60-year-old guy originally from the hills of central Alabama. We don’t have any Bigfoots that I know of, nor any moth men or UFO encounters.
    But we certainly heard of while growing up all about the Pacific Northwest Bigfoot. Hell, who didn’t back in the 1970s?
    Bigfoot/Sasquatch was a huge phenomenal subject back in those days; even the ABC TV show “The Six Million Dollar Man” had a two-episode fight between Steve Austin and Bigfoot.😂😂🇺🇸
    I’m now living in Spokane, Washington, and have been up here almost 35 months. Bigfoot is a VERY serious thing up here in these parts. I once saw a car bumper sticker say “Bigfoot doesn’t believe in you either”.
    Man, my heart almost came out of my chest because of the laughter. 😂😂👨🏻‍🦳🇺🇸👍🎸🏈

      And in that photo, you can see a frightening shadow on the wall behind a woman during photography. She didn’t know it was there. To this day, experts analyzing that photo cannot explain what that shadow is.

      What came 1st, this story or Missing 411? This is WAY to similar to other stories to be a coincidence. This many people do not 'make up' they exact same stories having never met each other!! These things are real! Who wants to start Organization Ballen whose sole mission is to find their lair and record their existence once and for all!!!?? Don't forget that the massive aggression came after getting shot at. I gotta back and see also because I know there were missing people without guns but IIRC a whole Bunch were huntes and kids, and kds 'usually' made it back alive somehow (You'd think it would be the other way around.)

    When I watched the video of Mike Wooley telling his story, there was no doubt in my mind that this man was telling the absolute truth. A 50 something year old man, shaking and tearing up as he related the events of that day. My hair stood on end listening to him. It's important to note that Mike was an avid hunter who went into the woods 3 or 4 times a week to hunt. He has never gone hunting again. He had people ask him, of course "Why didn't you just shoot it Mike" He was adamant in saying he could not. It was too human. And told these people that he doubted they could have either. Fascinating story and I could hear the fear in this man's voice all these years later.

    My dad was a trouble shooter for a large company so we moved every 3 or 4 years. When I was in 4th grade we lived in Southern Indiana. We had 140 acres this time. Pigeon river ran down the east side of our property. There was a ridge that jetted out over a slough from the river. My brother and his friend decided to build a log cabin on the top of that ridge. The entire east side of the property was all woods. So, they cut down several trees and using the tractor to lift the logs into place. They had built the walls up to about head height. In a couple of days. Sometime during the week. Something had taken all of those logs and scattered them in all directions. Like they were twigs. Needless to say we avoided that ridge from then on. There were 3 other incidents that were very scary that happened while we lived there. But no one ever actually got to see it/them. Including all of us hearing it walking down in the slough breaking through the ice. That sounded like 2 footed. As our German shepherd cowered behind us.
    PS never heard any whistling.

I thought my mom was checking up on me when i heard light footsteps coming up to me bed, i was facing away, so i played possum, then something sat on my feet but not hard, more like a pillow being pressed down but the springs in the bed creeked amd the middle stiffened up as the sides of my bed were also pressed down. It changed my life and still, though i have tried and studied every bullshit scientific theory, i cannot explain it away and more weird things happened to my father when he was young. There are so many of us and all we get is ridicule from those who deny this stuff exists. How can thousands of reliable witnesses be wrong.

I don't know, I heard something and experienced something I absolutely can't explain in the 203 North Cascades GMU. Growling around my tent, whistling in the night, several tree knocks I got on GoPro and the most intense high volume -talking train horn loud gutteral howling from below me in the canyon just after 4 am. The 203 is a no access no vehicle GMU, you have to back country pack in on foot or horse. No access roads, very few trails, it borders the northern part of the PCT.

    1984 I saw what could only be described as a bigfoot squatting down on the edge of a river, while taking my dog for an early morning walk. It never saw me, but I stared at it with my hand on my sidearm for a good 5mins. It was about 50m away, and looked like it was washing something off in the water then eating it. I've been back to that area dozens of times, and sized it to be at least the size of a large Grizzly, except I live in the NE. It was grey in color and had patches of hair/fur missing on it's back (I was viewing from behind). I eventually backed away and left. Never told anyone.

SO maybe that is why we never hear of seeing bodies..they most likely do not waste a thing,and to maintain that weight omg they'd have to eat some huge amounts of food/meat. Some say they are very ape like but then apes do not eat meat.

Every group has its great story tellers that bored soldiers/sailors seek out. I can 'see' his former servicemen gathered about as he told stories while serving wherever. Great job -

    My dad claims one time in his early twenties that he was stalked by a bigfoot in the Ozark area of Arkansas. He was out fishing late one night and it was around midnight or so when he decided he was done and was walking back home. Still in the woods he heard something heavy following him on the other side of the river. When he looked over he couldn't see anything in the trees, but when he stopped whatever was following him stopped too. Thinking it was a bear or mountain lion about to charge across the shallow waters to get him, he chucked a rock in hopes that it would scare the creature away... But it threw a rock back. My dad hustled out of there as fast as he could and by the time he made it to the road the creature was gone. I understand a bear following him, but a bear wouldn't be able to throw a rock back and the creature sounded too big to be a human to him. Ever since that day my dad's been obsessed woth bigfoot.

    I used to live in a pretty heavily wooded area. I pretty much had no parental supervision so I just roamed the countryside. I used to hike far into the woods because their was old abandoned homes and sometimes cars. I used to be amazed by this because there was clearly no roads or even trails. Anyway on one of my all day adventures I came out of some very think woods where apparently there was a patch of sand in a predominantly clay area. The tall pine trees took full advantage. It was very strange because the pines where almost in rows. I had amazing vision, I still have better than 20/20 at 41yrs old. As I was walking I seen the slightest movement. I froze and just stared. I could see a black ball of fur just to the side of the tree. It was to far up to be a person. I thought maybe it was something clinging to the side of the tree. I brought my hands up slowly to my face to make binoculars to limit my field of view. My grandpa taught my this. Just as my fingers moved in front of my line of sight, it was gone. I started to get a very uneasy feeling. The hair rose on my neck and I got goosebumps. I remember feeling like a cat was stalking me. Maybe a 100yrds there was a open field with very tall grass that lead to the swamp at the back of our property. I slowly walked sideways to keep a eye in the direction where I seen the object. I heard a rock bounce off a few trees. I knew cats can't throw rocks. I remember thinking something is distracting me like a diversion a kid would do to draw attention else where or possibly warning me. I booked it but every 20 yards or so I would stop and turn around quickly hoping to get a glimpse or have a opportunity to face whatever was following me. Then I flat out booked it about 50yrds into the tall grass and jumped down to listen for any other movement in the grass. I didn't hear anything. I walked about 200yrds backwards watching behind me. I was very confident what ever it was stayed in the tree line but I was taking no chances. That was the only time I ever felt spooked in the woods. The woods where my entire life back then all day, everyday. I stayed out of the woods for about a week after that. I would go back and explore but the area was purchased by a very wealthy man that fenced in many miles of land and actually put up a massive house and barn in the field I ran across. If anything was there, I'm sure it moved. I haven't really shared the story because if you can't 100% say what you saw, you don't want to say at all. I shared it with my wife and now all of you under a mask of anonymity provided by the internet.

      @@lonewanderer7126 I think that's a little different bird whistles and how a "person" whistles. I'm thinking that's what she meant lol.

      Wait till you hear a pack of coyotes hunting right outside your tent. They sound like a pack of demons when the all start yipping after a kill. Then then wait till you hear a Mountain Lion scream it sounds like a witch. I don't go into the woods with out a gun and a thermal device anymore lol.

      tbf he does leave out many details in his true events stories, but I assume that is for how he likes to tell the stories, and what makes it seem more clean or smooth in his storytelling.
