I truly believe it was not a bigfoot. It was something much more terrifying and real. I believe he may have encountered my mother-in-law. She is a beast.
My MIL was a bit of a monster too. To this day, I am confident that she poisoned me twice.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Hahah, fucking hell mate 😁😁
Why would you take anything from her after being poisoned the first time?
Oh lord I just almost pissed myself lmfao
The best way to not run into Bigfoot is to grab a camera and film a show on capturing Bigfoot. Those guys never see anything.
right?! lol
Lmfao. Good one 👍🏻
That show is how I started researching Bigfoot. After 2 mos I was bored with it. I moved on to the internet, then my back yard on 12 acres! They definitely are paranormal. They can make themselves invisible. I saw a juvenile go thru a portal with an owl!!! It changes you forever.
no it's to get out of there as fast as possible
Ha Ha Ha No doubt ! THEE most boring viewing EVER lol
I'm open minded about it. My dad swore, till his dying day, that he saw a Bigfoot in Michigan's UP. Early 1980s, just out deer hunting during archery season, he saw it and never hunted in the UP again. He never told that story to anyone outside the family. Even then they gave him a lot of shit about it. But he never changed the story. He would talk about it now and then, but never ever where anyone not related could catch a whisper of it. Remembering that far away look in his eyes when he'd retell it, I've stayed open to it.
Open to it ? DUDE that's your dad ,IT HAPPENED!
I live in MI and have property in the woods nearby south of the bridge. Any old timers back in the day talked of not allowing anyone in the woods. If one did go in, take a gun and make lots of noise
You should write it down. The story. Don't lose it to time. If you don't the next generation after you is not even going to know about it or be able to tell it. It blows my mind it only takes one generation to completely lose a person's memory or memorabilia you know what I'm trying to say
Your hand gestures are the best thing about your true stories brother, they are vital to explaining everything in the proper way.
I am a 73 year old woman, and after watching a few of your videos, I have never been so happy to be sitting in my little house with my two cats!

True
It is so THEY can hear YOU better. No birds or bug noises.
Dogs will sense it too if your scared of camping
Us seasonal hunters always stuck by that.. once not a insect made a sound. Be prepare for the worst and be Ready! somebody is watching..
Dude you just gave me the chills
Roughly six years ago I used to spend hours on end with a really good friend watching your videos. We both really enjoyed spending our time listening to your story telling. My dear friend left earth roughly a year ago and watching your videos is one of my favorite ways of remembering her. Thank you for helping me carry on her memory!!
Beautiful story. God bless
My condolences. I'm glad you can take comfort in the videos and feel close to her again.
My condolences go out to your friend. But this channel has only existed for 3 years. Did he have one before this?
Wait a second...
Mr Ballen first video is from 3 years ago
What videos of MrBallen were you watching 6 years ago?
What a lovely way to remember your friend
cant believe bro sat us down for 16 minutes and told a story with bigfoot behind him. true legend
Big foot was busy listening to the story too.
😂
Lmao
Caught his attention mid stride too 🕺
I know right, that's what's it like to be a navy SEAL. lol
He was *not* being hunted. He was being herded. They wanted him gone. If they were hunting him he would have his own chapter in a David Paulides book.
Correct. Next question is why - to keep people away from the aliens that are hanging out in the area? Who knows..
Hey Kelly. You're hot.
Exactly! If it could move so fast from one location to the next, then if it wanted to kill him it would have. He was being warned to stay out. And THAT'S why, I don't go hiking.
I don't think it's Bigfoot either I think it was set up but it was pretty good set up like you said they wanted him gone
@@eldonbeene8885 Set up by who? just curious what you think.
“At first he’s not scared, he thinks it’s a human.” I would almost be more scared of a random person creeping behind a tree
Yeah, but he's not a pretty female.
Jean Lloyd Bradberry haha. Bless you!
But he has the force multiplier.
@@jeanlloydbradberry9099 simp alert 😂
Jean Lloyd Bradberry ya creep 😂
Your hand gestures are huge in helping your hearing impaired veterans understand. I appreciate you!
Indeed, he is good at gesturing and saying things clearly!
Just a theory, but what if the sound of the trees falling around him were the creature jumping from treetop to treetop?
Reasons for this thinking:
1) He couldn't see it, but it could keep an eye on him to get him down the mountain.
2) The creature is very large, and if it was jumping from tree to tree, the trees would, probably, come crashing down afterward.
3) The deer he saw looked behind him and up, meaning it could've been in the tops of the trees or something similar.
4) If there were, at least, 2 of them, on either side of him, them jumping from tree to tree would cause the succession of the trees falling on both sides of him as they herded him down the mountain to keep him out of their territory.
I was thinking this too. It makes total sense with the information we have
This is interesting, could be even true.
I was thinking that the deer raised its head, because it sniffed, rather than saw, a probably-big-foot behind Jeff.
@@suonatar1 good point!
As they were quite opposite it also could be he jumping from the first tree where nothing happened, landing on the second one, which causes it to fall, he uses the swing and jumps midway to another tree, keeping momentum and continuing repeatedly, resulting in a zig-zag form.
@@suonatar1 In my opinion the deer would have just run off seeing him, if it was startled like that when he wasn't far away and it didnt noticed him grassing it would have just ran off seeing a human. But if theres another person or creature, or possible a deer-friend aswell, he probably would give it a look, his survival instincts are already kicking anyway and he wants to just piss of but he might also wanna know if the other object in his FoV is a mate or something for call out too or warn.
Maybe he was'nt being hunted, maybe he was being herded out of the forest and back towards his car? If bigfoot wanted him dead, he'd be dead,imo
I've suspected that same idea. All the stories I hear, squatch is always just behind them, when running back to the truck. No way a human could out run a squatch. Herded is right. Get out of my house.
That's a great point, there's no way it couldn't have got him if it actually was hunting him. It/they would've known the woods so much better and been able to cut him off before reaching the car. It wanted him gone.
Exactly!
Why do they instantly reach for their guns? It's like a skit a heard about it. " We come in peace..... shoot to kill!!" Strange that.
Exactly. If they wanted to hed be dead. He’s just telling him to get the fuck out of his house.

Thank you so much 🙏
Doesn’t add up..
I lived on a farm in the rural area of South Dakota. We had a cheyetonka always peeking in the windows and making yelling sounds. We had to use an outhouse so we had to go with another sibling for safety. He is real. I saw his face one night in our bedroom window
Probably demonic.
Rural area in South Dakota ?
it is all a rural area lol@@stick9648
I'm never commenting on anything.. always someone trolling and making unnecessary comments. Yes I lived on a farm where nearest neighbors were five to ten miles away....1950s.....ok you satisfied that I explained that
What's a cheyetonka? Couldn't find anything about it on google
Who gets pissed when people start talking to you while watching these videos?....I am like...WHAT? WHAT DO YOU NEED? I AM BUSY!
Frfr
And they say something just as the story gets interesting lol
DUDE. All the time.
No because who gets mad at family over nothing son
🤣🤣🤣
I picture a bigfoot walking with his kid. "See that's how you get them out of our area."
"Wow dad, that was cool."
I’m picturing a Bigfoot Hallmark moment. 🤣🤣
I'd imagine that it would be so easy to scare anyone even old hardcore former military vets out of your area when you're a hulking 8 ft tall biped covered all over in hair and you begin to chase right after them.
Lol, probably true, too!
“My daddy is a sasquatch and he’s going to protec ME!” - tenacious d.

I saw this on Paranormal Witness and it was truly frightening. He told a very compelling story. My heart was racing the entire time. I don't scare easily either. Thanks for giving it justice, Mr. Ballen.
What was the episode called if you remember
@@Christian_2005 ua-cam.com/video/OeEaFFf9Gpc/v-deo.html someone already cut out the sasquatch portion
Of all the stories I've heard of big foot. They are always just curious. That is until a weapon is pulled and or pointed at them. That pisses them off. I don't think the Marine in this story was being hunted. But he was definitely being herded in the proper direction of his car to get out of there.
Simplest was to put it, they are like people. Most normal some crazy or just passed off.
Exactly. They have no reason to hunt you, but they do want you to get tf out of their area lol I'm sure it was scary but I don't think it was hunting him
@@ErikHafer After 40 years I'm just now starting to talk about it and these videos online help.
Standing just a few feet away on the other side of a chain link fence was standing there glaring at me.
I was frozen in absolute fear but eventually I realized I was running and SCREAMING.
The only reason I realized I was screaming is because it was screaming to the top of its lungs.
I watched it over my right side and it watched me over my left side as we ran off.
I'm convinced now that they are another species of humans.
When a marine and a police officer struggles to get his gun out of holster you know shits serious.
😆😄🙄👌👍😆
Makes this story a bit suspicious. Marines's weapon is like their appendage. Doubtful he'd have difficulty getting it out; especially if feeling in danger.

The craziest part of this story that no one has mentioned in the comments is -
Do you know how strong something has to be to casually knock over trees as it's running after you?
That's stronger than a Gorilla. Sasquatch are absolutely terrifying.
I think the creature was jumping from tree to tree. And being that big and heavy could possibly knock trees down... No
Stronger then a d9 cat depending on the tree size. I'm calling b.s. Still love the stories.
@@matthewotis3594me 2. There is no way he didn’t get caught or open fire. I heard stories of them walking up a mountain in a few minutes
I wonder if that is what killed his friend.
@@lolsports5615I heard other Bigfoot stories they more try to scare you out their territory vs hunt to kill u
That's the thing, what does anyone have to gain by making such a claim on a level that could ruin a reputation or cause endless scrutiny of them and the experience? I have never seen anything like this but have heard things that I could not make sense of.
Great story here
Sometimes it might not be that someone is lying and they TRULY believe they saw what they claim but that doesn’t always mean what they think or say they saw…is really what happened…
Sounds like they were politely escorting a trespasser out of their territory.
Very true. Whatever that was, if it wanted to attack him it certainly could have. For whatever reason it sounds like it or they were just scaring him away....

I broke a rib last week and I'm at home recuperating. I just discovered this channel last weekend at the beginning of my time off from work. It's difficult to stop watching these videos to shower and eat. I'm so intrigued. I fall asleep listening.
I just let his videos play while I do chores. I enjoy his storytelling. I like how it’s not narrated from a script, he’s just telling the stories as if he was in it. Keep up the great work!
Haha I get it. You said Fir. Like fir trees in the wilderness :)
Same bro
Got to give credit to Mr ballen talent he has explaining a story so good I wud be terrible but he takes u their
Stumbled across your channel a couple days ago and boy am I glad I did!
Here in Australia we have the Yowi, which is essentially Big Foot, but with a few small differences. My dad has a story he was told by a big burly truck driver about an encounter he had with a Yowi that just gives me goosebumps every time. I love the mysteries of the world and part of me hopes they never get solved!
I hope they are solved actually. However, I understand what you are saying. God bless you and your family.
If you don't mind, could you tell us the story from that truck driver?
Don't keep us in suspense man!!! Tell the story!!!
The way you tell these stories, truly captures and holds attention.
That Bigfoot later was telling his tribe about scaring this guy, and they all laughed, as they ate their freshly killed deer.
I can see them now sitting around a campfire 🔥 I presume they have fire by now, and bragging as they passed around a deer stomach with fermenting plant material!
I would think big foot seems more of a solitary animal. As good as they have staid hidden, they def ain't sending smoke signals off a fire
The perfect comment for this video, I’ve heard very strange things out here In Nc in the deep forest. I think they must be nomadic clans, possibly even Giants of old.
That's what I thought. They chased him out of the area. If they wanted to hurt him they could have. Then they laughed about it later. Lmao

I’m a 79 year old woman who is enthralled by your storytelling. Instead of reading so many books, like I used to do, every night I enjoy listening to several of your videos, one after another. You are truly gifted, and I love the strange, dark and mysterious. I wish you much, much success.

I know he should have been prepared but he wasn’t planing on been there till night he just got so fixated with following Big Foot and didn’t realize how late it got… that’s why he didn’t grab it.

I love John's storytelling. When he is describing this man running and falling down this mountain, while behind him he's hearing trees crashing to the ground landing closer and CLOSER, I felt as though this creature was actually behind ME!!

The Son of GOD was afflicted by GOD because of your sins, he carried your sins, died on the cross and rose again on the third day.
If you believe in Him and in His sacrifice you will obtain the forgiveness of sins and the promise of eternal life, you will be made new by The SPIRIT of GOD.

It seems like it would be IMPOSSIBLE for bigfoot to have evaded detection for so long. But if you've ever trained in Ft. Lewis, you'll quickly realize that within 20 minutes of Tacoma, lies wilderness where you wonder if another foot has ever set foot. The 6-10 foot ant mounds to triple canopy. So after having been in that forest, yeah, I do believe something like big foot could evade detection.
“You wonder if another foot has ever set foot”- I’m a Montanan- Oregon is crowded compared to here. The number of paved roads is significant. And I’m sure the Alaskans would say the same about Montana.
North rainier training area
@@mikekimmell582 That's right. And crossing the Mighty Nisqually River sucked. That's for sure!
I believe in big foot. Because, I've seen such things in my home village. I'm from Papua New Guinea in the Pacific. We normally don't have big foot, but we surely have giants the same height and stature as big foot. They are not hairy, and also have small heads and big muscles.But how Americans tell their stories of the behavior of the sasquatch, is exactly similar to our giants. Our furless giants wear leaves as clothing. We know their habitats so we don't wander into their territory. Long ago, our elders put up signs or grow a type of tree to mark the no go zones when hunting in the jungle, your park rangers should do the same, so that no one gets hurt. The Bigfoots that you see are actually their border patrol soldiers, looking after their borders. They have a whole community hidden deep in the forest. So when you cross their borders, they'll try to scare you off, and escort you out of their territory. Mind you, if they want you dead, you'll be dead. Just a suggestion to our hikers and hunters.Love your videos.👍👊💯
What are they called?
Interesting. Did you see Mr Ballen's other video on the red-haired giant of the Afghan mountains?
@@ClamMan1989 I was just thinking of that video while reading this comment! the description of both giants sounds very similar...

Your hand gestures aren't distracting, they add to your "acting out" the story. Wonderful!

@@Ezekiel903 You took the words right out of my hands!
He needs his hands to explain the story which without them it would nt be as good. So keep using your hands. It's just your creative side x
His hands are my favorite thing about his videos. It was more prominent when he was around sub 100k subs.
"Gently disembowel" is NOT a phrase I ever expected to hear. Lol!
I know a dude who slightly died from being gently disemboweled......it's nothing to "lol" about.
In other words alot of pain
When disemboweling a pig you must be gentle, or you will taste it every time you eat the meat.
Mr. B would have you gently disembowel the like button, I'm sure.
How does one gently disembowel? 🤔
I'm retired military, and I believe that Bigfoot certainly exists in our world. That dude was very lucky he survived.
I also believe he exists because I saw him in Greece. Yes I'm serious.
I never saw one though I have read about it. But a close friend of mine,now deceased, unfortunately, told me about his encounter with the Yeti in Russia, when he was serving in the Red Army, in Siberia. Well, he wasn't alone either, he was with other 5 soldiers and they all saw the creature. He never knew or believed it, he thought it was all a myth. After that day, his life was changed forever. So, watch out! There are real unknown creatures out there, no doubt.
@@jacobpitman8938really? Where was that? In Greece or in one of those Greek islands around it? Can you tell us more?
They wanted him out of their living area you leave them alone they will leave you alone, if they were hunting him they'd go stealth mode and make no noise
I just wonder why after so many decades, we still do not have sound evidence that it does or doesn't exist. Plus all of the videos of it seem like they were caught with the 1st video recorder ever made. Even recent videos, the quality of them are TERRIBLE. And the alien sightings are terrible quality as well
I am completely open to the idea of Sasquatch. Some of these stories are fantastic, but definitely within the realm of possibility. The film from which MR BALLEN gets his background has always fascinated me. A costume of the type necessary for the creature in that film, was not possible to make in 1967.
Wouldn't it be hilarious if we later discover that Big Foot is real, they live in tribes, and one of their favorite sports is scaring the bejeezus out of human hikers?
They are real and here now and have been a long time!
i was thinking that as well.. maybe they all go back to their bigfoot bar, drink a pint, smoke cigarettes, and laugh at how they scared the stupid humans.
And they sit around laughing at how funny humans look when they are afraid.. like dude chill... it was only a prank!
if the hairy footprint fits...

Doesn’t seem like that “big foot” was chasing him, it could had easily grabbed that guy and killed him for sure at any moment if it wanted, but it didn’t. It was clearly showing him the way out of their territory, maybe scaring him away or maybe even thought the guy was lost and thought it was helping him in that way to find a way back to his car.
Yeah I really didnt roar or throw rocks at him as ive heard others do.
I agree. If it wanted him....it would of had him.
I thought the same thing. It was funneling him back to his vehicle.
I had the same thought.
this was a good comment maybe bigfoot is true but it doesn't like human contact and it doesn't mean to purposefully scare for fun it helps them out of their territory this is a good theory
One of my favorite Bigfoot stories. As you said, I'm not a fundamental believer, but as someone who majored in physical anthropology, I can't help but say it's possible.
Watched you from the start legend and the fact that you are nearly at 8m subs says a lot about how great your stories are.
Your one of the few UA-camrs I actually watch religiously now!

So cool! Thank you!!

I was raised in TN. When I was 8 years old, my Mother, Uncle and I were driving home. We came down a hill and around a curve. There in the road stood two creatures. They looked over their shoulders at us. Their eyes were red in the headlights. They turned and started to run. My Uncle sped up. It was like Slow Motion to me! You could see the bottoms of their feet and the dust that came up with each step! Their hair flowed almost like a horse's mane! Up and down on their bodies. There was NO odor! They were glossy, the hair wasn't matted. This chase didn't last long! The road split. One went up a small hill, towards our house and the other went towards the old Dawn Cemetery. The bottom road, towards the Cemetery, had a bank on it and they went down that road, maybe 20 to 25 feet, and jumped up the bank and were gone into the woods! They had chestnut colored hair. One was larger, and darker than the other one. I have always felt like if I were hypnotized, and had someone who could DRAW what I described, it would be amazing. I'm 70 now. My Mother told my oldest Sister about it. She's 77. I don't really care if anyone believes me. GOD knows what we saw, and we do. I'm okay with that. But it was amazing, and I'll never forget it.
Love this story. Thanks for sharing
were they running on two legs like a human or on four like a dog/bear/cat etc? how big were they? thanks for your story!
@@pennyfullerton3529 Two feet, upright, just like you or me. The largest was bigger than my older Brother who was over 6' 3", by quite a bit. 8 foot maybe more. The smaller one was larger than my Brother also. Probably 7 to 7 1/2 ft tall. Heavy built, more muscular. I couldn't guess the weight. Shaquille O'neal is smaller than the large one. It was amazing to see them.
8 foot tall?
@@jepreyoamelda5674 Listen, I was 8 years old. They were larger than my older Brother who was 6'3". 8 foot is a Guesstimate. I don't lie. That's my best guess. That's the best I can do. GOD bless
I remember that one, it was extremely convincing and pretty f in scary too. Banging story!
Judging by how many uncharted caves and springs are out there from watching caving videos, it's possible a small number of a forgotten species lives out there in the boonies of the Midwest and Siberia.
When an animal dies in the woods, the remains are scattered, and there is nothing left. Even the bones are eaten unless buried in a mud slide.
Deer have been known to scavenge carrion.
A lot of those cases are probably bear and a wild imagination, but I guess we won't know until we have a live one and can know for sure it's not just a feral person.
If they do exist, they should be protected.
I recall the moment when I felt big foot could be real. An elephant that had never been known of previously was discovered in SE Asia. If an elephant could remain unnoticed why not Bigfoot?
Because elephants are really good at hiding in tops of trees.
This is underrated
Coelacanth! Enough said!
You mean Pgymy elephants? They are so cute but rare. Imagine they being living in the jungle for so long and no one know about. It is because the elehants live in an unexplored virgin jungle and no natives live there.
@honora lovall, Good point!
In 1989 I was training with Army Special Forces in Cascade Idaho. Myself and a friend were sitting on an outcropping looking across to another mountain ridge. I used a set of binoculars and my friend used a scope on his rifle to watch "something" walking around on another side of the mountain. It was far enough away we could tell it was "humanlike" but not human. It walked upright and seemed to be very large. It did not know we were watching and it lasted about 6 or 7 minutes. I am a believer. It was real.
Real as corn flakes amazing how many non believers there still are
The Cascades are not in Idaho buddy.
Vaden K your right, I was in the mountains in cascade Idaho. Still saw something strange up there.
Of course I believe you! There are very strange things out there! I am going to post what hairbrush to me in Mt. Shasta decades ago.
@** It was o the side of a mountain ridge. It moved around in and out of sight. It looked like it was looking around for something. It walked, stooped, picked things up. It's hard to say because it was so far away. It just didn't move like a person. It was too far away to make a call on how tall it was, but it was thick.
For the most part big foot stories have always been just plain ridiculous to me. I just couldnt imagine something like that going seemingly unnoticed for such a long time but this story was definetly the most realistic one I have heard. I like to go hunting on my friends property time to time and I have seen/heard some interesting things but I never really thought much of it. But stories like these (real or not) are super intriguing
One of my favorite stories you've told.
I'm addicted to this guy now, I fall asleep to his videos and rewatch in the morning if I miss anything
I 2nd that
For real 🤣
My sister is, but not me, because most of his content, when it comes to Sasquatch encounters I hear from a lot of people first person, or missing persons, I get from the original source, David Paulides, where Mr Ballen gets his stories...
Same here!! My wife introduced me to him. Haven't stopped watching since. It's badass that he is a Navy Seal also.
Best storyteller on UA-cam, and there's lors of storytellers on UA-cam. Absolutely THE BEST!!! 😁😁😁
I went and checked out the paranormal witness version of Jeff's story. I really don't like the dramatization that these shows use. It made me appreciate your channel that much more I really enjoy the videos man and often listen to them like a podcast. Great stuff 👍
I'd rather hear a story then watch a TV show because you're imagination is way better than anything
a tv show could come up with.
@@SCIFIDANNY69 I agree putting yourself in their shoes, Is much better representation
Sounds like there is no need for me to check it out. Thanks for your 'review'
This guy here has to be the very best storyteller I've watch tons of videos but he is the best.. this is definitely you're calling
Great job telling this story.
Literally spent all day listening to sasquatch "stories" while working. 😆 Great timing!
No kidding! Haha
I need a job like that.
Well I had a sighting of bigfoot
What do u do?
@@laynestreun9275 I do IT. And every so often I have to spend the day off the phones catching up on administrative BS. So I turn on UA-cam or Spotify and binge stuff while I work.
I saw this guy speak of his experience a couple of yrs ago. His story told by him...is why I’m a believer. Very chilling story
Oh I bet that would give you goose bumps listening to him tell his story right there in person!! If that happened to me, I’d be terrified.
❤️💜💚
I saw him, too. He was very credible to me - I believe him.
Are you referring to Mr. Ballon? Where can I find “his” story, if that IS who you are referring to? Thank.
Mr. Ballen you are one of my favorites. The best storyteller.
Thanks for your service Mr Ballen
I have lived in Oregon since I was 5 years old, now 33. I've never had a Bigfoot encounter but I have been told enough stories I absolutely believe they are out there.
I have been living in Oregon for almost 18 years...anyone know how the heck to get outta here??
@@HeidiSvenson come on up to northern Wi. I’ll give you a great tour.
@@HeidiSvenson Isn’t Oregon a relatively good state?
@@HeidiSvenson Point your nose East. Once you're over the Cascades, things improve, dramatically.
honestly you are lucky! they are bad news I promise you... from my experience they are demonic entities capable of unimaginable things. I truly wish I didn't know what I know, after a random sighting of 3 of them I think I brought too many people around to show them footprints and shit and they have legitimately haunted me ever since. I could go on and on with stories, but put it this way I went to 3 different forests 30 miles apart in one day and they were at every spot following a friend and I throwing rocks and sticks and so much more.... they feed off of fear 100% seriously if you ever see one or even just get a bad feeling well in the woods dont look into it, dont give it attention, get away asap.
Bigfoot just wanted a friend. Bigfoot was probably like “ damn I scared another one, I’m never making friends .”
Bigfoot's mum.. I've told you so many times that you won't make friends till you get your haircut..... Bigfoot.. arrrhh muuuuuum but I like it long it's the fashion
Lamooo🤣
Awe lol poor footie
🤣🤣😢😢
There are more than 1
I like to question everything and I believe this man. I've been rummaging around our woods here in rural Iowa I've gotten the feeling that something's watching me. I'm really into Bushcraft so I go to some remote areas so I can find cordage and natural habitats to build lean twos and a frames wigwams trying to get practice. I've never seen anything but have definitely felt a couple funny feelings.
Patterson / Gimlin film is undoubtedly the best and oldest footage of Sasquatch and leaves no doubt !! Period... if someone needs more than that , tell them to go out to the mountains and get the proof themselves
supposedly one of the two (forget which) debunked the film on their deathbed.
@@Necrowolf81 I don't think either of them recounted. One died in 1972 saying it was true to the end. The other is still alive and is adamant its true. There are lots that say hoax and others say looks real.
When BigFoot finally reached him, the creature grabbed Jeff by the shoulders and said, "I've been trying to reach you to talk about your car's extended warranty"
hahahaha! Keep it quiet! if the extended car people get the idea to hre only bigfeet(?) we will all have extended warantees
That's funny. And it had an East Indian accent.
Naw man! He was trying to sell Jeff a lakefront timeshare.
Do you know how to get to bells canyon by any chance?
I hate when that happens! Lol 😂🚘🚙🏎🚗🚕🚖🚛🚚🏎🦍🐵🐒
His expressiveness is also what makes the stories so interesting as well . His hand gestures add to it
When it was pushing over them trees I don't think it wanted to kill him but scare Geoff away from his part of the world cos let's face it you ain't getting away from something that big and powerful. One of its stride is like 4-5 of ours, it would have caught him if it wanted to. Awesome story love your work
Your story telling is best. Your focused on the story appreciate that. Im 70...i watch your podcasts too. Yeah im a fan
They tell this same story to raucous laughter at Sasquatch School in "Scaring the hairless uglies 1o1" class.
😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣 underrated comment!!
This story reminded me of what a friend once said to me.
"if I ever own a piece of land that people like hiking on, I will add speakers around the area to spice things up."
He also thought of adding cameras to record the facial expression
And hire some dude that is like 7'3 to get a hyper realistic costume to scare them away lmao that would be comedy gold
Your friend is evil and I like it
It seems these things just chases people away most times. But for those who aren't so lucky 💀💀💀 Great story!
Love it! Keep it up Ballen!
I found Mr. Ballen 2 weeks ago and I am not kidding when I say this is the only thing I watch all day everyday
Right? It ties in well with other stories, I'm getting extra info to Hella mysteries ;)
Welcome to the jungle, bayby!!
I know, right? I am soooooooo addicted to Mr. Ballen.

I didn't tell my encounter to anyone in about 20 years I got tired of the smirking. I'll share here. I'm 43 and this happened when I was 19 or 20. I live in Central Pennsylvania in a small town surrounded by woods. A few friends and I got some weed and beer and went to an overlook in the woods that was above a big lake. Closest home is maybe 3 or 4 miles away. We were hanging out listening to music and we started to hear what sounded like someone hitting a tree with a bat, but loud similar to a gun shot in the distance. To me it sounded exactly like batting practice in a MLB stadium. Over the next hour the cracks were happening once every few minutes but getting louder and sounding closer until one sounded like it came from the road we came in on. We turned the music off and the girls got back into my vehicle scared. Then another crack right in the tree line about 15 feet in front of us. This scared all of us and we all got into my truck. The girls yelling for me to go and I hesitated but then turned my headlights on and turned onto the road and when my lights shined into the trees we saw this huge shadow. You couldn't see details just a huge black mass. I slammed on the brakes and everyone was screaming and were like did you see that?I backed up and it was gone. The next day a friend that was with me and I went out during the day to look for tracks or something. For miles in the woods the trees were bent as if something walked in between and bent them down. They were bent similar to an ice storm but bent away from each other. No tracks just bent trees. A few days later I biked out to that spot on my mountain bike because I couldn't make sense of it. I made it to the overlook and everything was normal even noticed the trees stood back up so no evidence of the encounter at all. I'm on my way back going down the mountain on the one side of the lake and I heard this commotion in the woods and when I looked this huge maple tree was shaking. This tree was big enough that I couldn't move the tree if I tried. I would say 50 year old tree. I thought is this tree falling?and then a huge dead log comes flying at me from the maple tree. It landed a few feet short, the hair stood up on my body and I took off. When I calmed down I drove out with my gun and looked at the tree. I couldn't move it it was that heavy I'll estimate 600 to 700 pounds because I couldn't even roll it. I never actually saw what it was but I can't think of anything else it could have been.
There is no doubt that there are creatures that have successfully hidden from us that are extremely intelligent, burs just far to unknown for most people to believe
Imagine that, it had the strength and controll not to kill you with that tree missile. Just the message "go away". Good you could take a not so subtle hint!
@@jorayx For real I don't scare easily and hands down was the most afraid I ever was in my life. I remember a few roadblocks I had to ride over, but that time I hit them at full speed and kept peddling after landing the jump. Got back in record time.
Like this so Mr.Ballen will see it
Facts at how to hunt,com and dogman encounters, sasquatch chronicles have some seriously amazing encounters. take from it what you will. On you tube.
I love love love your story telling❤
Avid hunter and I have had an experience that made me a believer a little over a year ago in east auto , Ny. Until then I was skeptical and didn't think much of it but the morning of opening day for big game rifle hunting last year I was camped out in my tent and it was about 4:30 am so the sun was just getting ready to come up and we all heard an extremely loud call that I never heard before that woke me up out of a dead sleep and about five minutes after that I heard it again waking up my father and my niece who both heard it the second time as well as about five or ten shots afterwards and after that silence. We definitely stayed clear of that section of pines for the rest of the season.
They're in NY ,as you've 16:01 found out without actually seeing one !
Bigfoot was trying to contact him about his cars extended warranty
Good one 😀
Lmbo!
Hahahahaha best comment on here
Hahahhaah, two days later his phone rings and it's a call from the National Association for the Domestication of Bigfoot asking him to take a survey for quality assurance.

I grew up in Vancouver, Washington and would go hunting and fishing with my dad and brother out in the cascade range of southwest Washington and northwest Oregon. We had weird experiences out in the woods hearing strange sounds and just eerie occurrences. Especially around Mt St Helen's and The Indian Haven wilderness and the big lava beds area in Gifford Pinchot NF.
However, one of the weirdest times occurred after I was old enough to drive and would go out on my own. We would go to the Miami River that emptied into the north end of Tillamook Bay and fish there for salmon and steelhead. We would fish the tidewater and lower few miles of river like most other people. But we would also venture up into the headwaters away from the farms and where only old, washed out logging roads existed and we never saw anyone fishing up there. We basically had pristine waters all to ourselves and loved the remoteness of it. On this particular occasion, it was cold and rainy, typical of the Oregon coast in early November. I was there with my two brothers and we parked my car and hiked our way down to the river. We were super excited and ready to do some damage. However, we found few fish and even fewer biters. After an hour or so of fishing and hiking this stretch of river, we decided to take a break and eat some food. While resting, we began to hear strange hooting noises coming from the woods to our south. We would be facing north fishing the river. We all just froze and looked at each other. We kind of shook it off and continued to eat. We heard the sounds again and this time they lasted about 10 seconds longer and they were accompanied by crashing sounds and branches breaking up in the woods. At this, we all turned around and stared off into the woods. Other than those sounds and the noise of the river running behind us, there were no other sounds. No birds, no squirrels, no elk buggling, not even the wind rushing through the trees. At this point, we decided to end our fishing adventure and call it a day. We were rather shaken and got out of there as fast as we could. That was the last time we went fishing on the Miami River that year. Since then, I've been back a handful of times. The last being in the fall of 2009 and have not been back since. Needless to say, the road we would take to the upper river was through private property and it was gated off so we didn't get a chance to fish up high that year. There were other times I got freaked out while fishing up there but that is for another thread.
The stories about the NW are true. There are some creepy things out there. I moved away from the NW for good in 2010. Glad I live in AZ now.
