I hike and camp in Sam Houston regularly. Always with my dog and a gun. Plenty of strange things have happened. I've heard, seen and found some unusual things. Alone and 2 or 3 miles in at night is sometimes foreboding. A couple of times i have packed up in the middle of the night and hiked out because it just didn't feel right. Deafening silence. Thank you for sharing that!
You talking about Sam Houston National Forest in east Texas? If you are I can tell you this much, there is at least one large Cat and I've argued with my friends and one game warden about its type. There is a pipeline crossing or a utility R.O.W of some sort, its kept up with only a few saplings and on this particular day the grass and weeds were about 12 - 18 inches high. I was in the passenger seat, my friend was driving and we easing along talking and looking for a place to go back and camp in the fall. Right about the time time we were approaching the edge of the R.O.W I happened to be looking to my left and what I saw about 60 to 70 yards down that R.O.W was not your average Cougar. Its color pattern was more akin to my German Shepherd. A brown, reddish brown and dark brown almost black color pattern. Its tail curled down almost touching the ground and then back up. I saw the last half of its body as it entered the tree line and I can tell you its height and length would make 3 of my Canine and she's 105 lbs. It was not the traditional blonde or reddish blonde cougar. It was mottled in color and Big and it was just walking slowly into the Thicket. This was in March 2018. The Game Warden although skeptical of my description did say someone had reported something similar over in Davey Crockett near Apple Springs.
@@BHeisler59 yes it's the national forest I'm speaking of. That is amazing and now I'm going to have my head on a swivel. My family have clear trail cam photos of a black panther in Southern Mississippi yet they had been told a couple years earlier by a game warden that none existed in the area. I'm curious if you were on the powerline easement on trailhead 15? That was a monster cat!!
@@effeojnedib7208 i stayed a night in Davy Crockett with my brother and nephew back in 2018. That place came alive around 3am. All kinds of crazy sounds. Definitely sounds unfamiliar to me.
What an unnerving experience for her! My daughter drives school bus. She's very calm and collected in trying situations, but seeing a Sasquatch, wow! The snow was so pretty on your hike out. I heard on the news about the 4-6 feet of snow expected in the Sierras. That's a heap of snow! Nice video, good story and beautiful snow.
Dude, that is absolutely beautiful scenery out there! I was thinking, "I sure hope you don't get a clump of snow fall down on you while you're under that big pine telling another awesome story!"
Texas has TONS of encounters. In fact in the winter of 1836 a certain somebody had an encounter in East Texas with an "apeman" , complete with tree knocks and rocks thrown. This famous person was on his way to meet his destiny in a little mission on the outskirts of Bexar called The Alamo. True story. You all know who I am referring to.
@@effeojnedib7208 Sam Houston and Davy Crockett NF have tons of activity The Sasquatch in Texas tend to be pretty ornery from what I have researched. Here in AZ we have nice , calm Sasquatch tho one of them did throw gravel at my wife in Sedona...
My mom was born in Texas during the depression. There was a little town called Peale town. It was nothing more than a gas station and a stop sign in east Texas. The weather was so hot one summer that most of the nine kids had to sleep out on the porch. But there was something over in the little patch of woods far over in the distance that would let out this bone chilling moaning, screaming, wailing. It scare my grandparents were petrified. My grandpa and and the older boys would take turns sitting up with the guns and watching. They didn't live in Peale town long. My mom said some ppl thought a panther got loose from a traveling circus because they did go through the area about twice a year but I've tried to research and found nothing. She uses to talk about Peale Town all the time and the "booger" out in the woods.
Hi Chris. You definitely deserve more subscribers. Your channel is so relaxing and captivating. You are an excellent storyteller and the nature is amazing. Nothing is as beautiful as nature. 🌲💚
Bit the forest and the Sam Houston forest arnt that big if you look at it from Google maps, not to mention all the housing development around them, if there are any Bigfoot, theve become sorta trapped in that area.
Texas in the house! Very interesting story. I live way north of Round Rock but I've driven across Brushy Creek many times while traveling south to the Austin area. I think most of the Sasquatch stories I hear about are in East TX, so this one surprised me. Great story! KEEP HIKING 🙂
There are so many Sasquatch, dog Man and other strange creatures or cryptids whatever you want to call them stories come out of the Hill country. My sister is a good friend with Willie Nelson and I don't know if you know it but he lives there in the Hill country He's got a big place. I wonder if he has any stories to tell or he just keeps them to himself maybe one day I'll have the opportunity through my sister of course to ask him about it. Well I hope so anyway. I think it'd be a good conversation if he had any stories either way
@@juanitagarcia958 I don't even know if he has any experiences but it's something that I would like to possibly ask him one day if I get the opportunity
That sounds about right. Oklahoma, Louisiana, and Arkansas all seem to be Sasquatch hot beds, so it seems likely that they would spread over into east Texas.
I live and have camped all around Texas. It seems every region has their big foot stories. I've had a few encounters myself in places I would never have expected to.
I have been a professional over the road truck driver for 33 years now. I've driven Coast to Coast in the United States so many times I can't count. Been across most of the Canadian provinces as well. And the strange and scary things that I've seen over the years I could write a book about. But anyway. When the day finally comes that I can park my truck and go home. I hope I have enough resources and my dream dog, (A Siberian Husky )to where I can get back out on the road and see these wonderful beautiful places in detail. I guess you can think of it this way. It's one thing to walk into a kitchen and see a delicious large pot of boiling beef stew. But it's another thing all together to watch how that beautiful meal was put together one ingredient after the other in detail. Keep hiking everyone!🚛🇺🇸😌
Chris, I kind of envy your lifestyle. Experiencing all of that beauty and serenity. And thank you for sharing it with us. I love to hear and watch you tell your stories. You are the best, hands down. Keep hiking. 💗😊
Chris, I know where Round Rock, TX is. I was currently in Taylor,TX for work. I saw that round rock. My boss actually told me the exact same story you are telling now. How ironic! I absolutely loved Round Rock,TX. Sorich in history. Much love to you Chris. Merry Christmas.
You're right ! I live in North Texas and it's well known to have numerous bigfoot sightings ! My older brother had a terrifying experience in Sam Houston State park back in 2001. His best friend was with him and it was around sundown in the fall. They had just stopped walking to have a snack and something to drink. After sitting there for about 5 minutes suddenly a huge rock was thrown at them and nearly hit Leroy in the head. They emeditally jumped up and turned around to see where it came from and then there was a loud yell from the trees. My brother said it made chills up their spines and it was terrifying. He said they emeditally started walking back to the truck as fast as they could. They left and have never been back. We tried to get them to show us where it happened but they both said no way !
Yes, Chris, these things are showing up in Texas and dogman are too. I grew up in west Texas and most of my family is there. My daughter lived in Round Rock for two years. I live in Canada 🇨🇦 now. Great story.
Hi ... Welcome to Canada! 🇨🇦 👍😊 .. , As long as l can remember l have always wanted to visit Texas since l was a kid.. .. on my bucket list as they say ..
Hey Chris, We almost moved to Round Rock some 20 yrs ago because of my husband’s job but Texas was too hot and humid. We were born and raised in So Calif but moved to Eagan, Mn some 24yrs ago, again due to my husband’s job. We loved Mn so much my husband left his company after 29+ yrs to stay here. It seems there are Sasquatches all over the US, even here in Mn. I’ve also heard of encounters around the Feather river, so be on the lookout. Love your stories. Always look forward to them. 😊
Great story, Chris! And the snow was absolutely beautiful on the trees. We don’t get snow here in South Louisiana, and as I type this it’s 71 degrees outside lol. Stay safe and keep warm.
Wow! I live in Ohio and we get our fair share of snow, however we NEVER see snow like that! It is gorgeous! Love the story as well. I can't imagine that poor bus driver. What an experience! Thanks as always, Chris!
East Texas is very well known for Sasquatch The Red River that separates Oklahoma and Texas is well known for Sasquatch. Basically anywhere where there's a creek river or lake with tree cover they can be encountered
I believe Chris is one of the best story tellers around. Just found him a few months and really enjoy his enthusiastic spirit . I'm always looking around as he is hiking in and while he's sitting doing the story.... Great job Chris!!!! Merry Christmas to you and yours. 🎄.
This one hit close to home. I've spent a lot of good times fishing, kayaking, and camping on Brushy Creek. I was always more worried about someone breaking into my truck than I was a sasquatch... Thanks, now I got a new thing to worry about! I never had anything strange happen to me on Brushy Creek. But at one of my favorite campsites on the South San Gabriel river I can say I had something weird happen. It wasn't really much, I didn't see anything, but it had me kind of freaked out for a few hours. The South San Gabriel river and the headwaters of Brushy Creek come to close each other between Liberty Hill and Leander Tx. Just sayin' take it for what it is. Thanks Chris, really like your videos. Keep it up bud!
I find this story very hard to believe if it happened in recent years...the daily car count is anywhere from 2,800 to 3,400 cars per day on Brushy Creek Road and the entire area is very heavily populated.....I owned a house in Round Rock for one year in 2004 and walked around the area with my dog late at night....never heard or saw anything strange.......loved @GregDV story.....I would not go anywhere near parts of the Brazos River at night!!!!
I watched this video earlier but didn't get chance to comment until now so I'll watch it again. These videos never get boring! Wow what a frightening encounter, and all the kids saw that Squatch as well! Unusual that he put in an appeaerance during the daytime, normally they like to frighten people in the night. I know exactly what this bus driver lady meant when she was worried about anyone finding out - it's the same for all of us in the transport industry: when we see anything unusual, we have to keep quiet about it for fear not just of ridicule, but also fear of our state of mind being questioned. This could cost us our entire career. Stories like ghost stories do get passed round, but folks are careful about what they say and to whom. They also tell stories as jokes, so that real experiences don't result in any problems. This in turn means one never knows what to believe... Wow you sure got a lot of snow there! We got snow here too now but not that much. Could change later this week though, looks like the snow will get worse. There's also strikes everywhere here in the UK - on the railroad, the postal service, ambulance crews, nurses want to strike soon too... the UK is in chaos as always, hahaha...
Love, Love, Love the snow Chris thank you. Where we live in Australia we rarely get snow. Its so beautiful and adds a lot of atmosphere to the story. Im always looking behind and to the sides of you while listening. Great story again. Have a great week. ❤️🇦🇺🦘
Hi Chris, I am sorry to write this, because I am a subscriber fom back, when you just had only a few hundred viewers. The channel changed a lot in the last 9 months. You were always an inspiration to me, when it comes to hiking & camping. I miss the beautiful hiking trips & adventures. The beautiful landscape, building up camps, making a fire, food. You are living in one of the most beautiful areas that I have ever seen. Please don't stop hiking.......please....your huge fan, IVO
Hi Chris. I’m glad to see someone address this as I have been wondering the same thing for a while now. Is this your new format or will you be returning to hunting and backpacking anytime soon? Thanks.
@@louisesilverstein2152 Thank you,. Louise. I love his channel & I also like some stories now & then. But to me it looks like he changed the channel completely. And I loved it so much, the way it was. A second channel could be a solution. Or is there another reason......
Hi B Scotland. First I need to correct a typo . I meant hiking not hunting. Keeping hopeful that he will begin backpacking to all the neat places he goes and maybe sprinkle in a story now and then but mainly return to the beautiful Sierra Nevada outdoors which he was doing when I first started watching his channel.
@@balmacarascotland9106 I like the idea you mentioned about Chris maybe having two channels. Curious what you might be referring to Re: “ …or is there another reason…?”. Tks again.
Wow! That snow covered area is absolutely beautiful! I love the crunching sound. However, I’ll enjoy it from here in Florida! 😂 Thank you Chris for all your stories! ❤
I'm a Sasquach living in the Gatesville, Texas area, we are one of the few Bigfoot neighborhoods that recently got WiFi. Many of us are going to move, perhaps to west Texas, just to many yuppies moving in these days. We do enjoy your videos.
A close aquaintence of mine ( Mr. T ) who is a former Michigan police officer and Vietnam War Veteran U.S. Marine ( who does not want to be interviewed ) did have an experience quite a few years ago in the Laredo Texas area. It was very early in the morning while he was driving his family ( who all "appeared" to were sleeping ) along a road. It was still dark out when he saw a car pass him on his left. As this car passed him on his left he saw a dark very tall hairy upright figure ( described as a large upright hairy man } ahead which just seemed to miss that upcoming car as it passed it. At this moment this figure approximately 100 to 125 feet away ahead of him leaped acrossed the road in about 2 or 3 strides and ran into a brushy field and out of sight.. Mr. T did pick up an awful smell as he passed the exact area that this figure was originally seen at. It was during this time that he realized that a family member who was in the passenger seat upfront ( who was apparently awake ) also saw it . Mr. T and his wife the next day and during lighted hours decided to visit the area where he saw this creature and searched for footprints but could not find any.
Yes you've hit it on the nail when. When it comes to Bigfoot Storytime.. love what you are doing.. more people should get into Bigfoot stories.. so interesting.. ❤️❤️❤️
I'm in NW Louisiana and we've got two different houses that have put up big cut outs of BF because we've been getting so many sightings. We have a lot of waterways around here and plenty of forests. Even my family had a freaky encounter coming back back home. Great video!
Hi Chris I hope you see my message. I believe this guy is trying to scam me and wanted to bring him to your attention as he's obviously commenting on your thread. I'm going to report him to Facebook and hope that it gets some attention. Scammers are bad to begin with but him/they trying to do this right here at Christmas is unforgivable. Anyway I love your channel and all the stories you bring to all of us, just letting you know so you can report him/they as well.
Wow, great story, Chris. I pray the deeper snow doesn't catch you or your loved ones and cause any problems for you. Keep warm and thanks for coming out and showing us the weather. Love from UK.
Beautiful there, looks like the woods outside my house! :) I drove bus for years but never had that happen, biggest animal we ever saw was a moose. Thanks for the stories.
Another Awesome story. Yes, Texas is known for cryptoids in the Piney Woods and other places. They have an annual conference in Jefferson TX area. Keep them up.
My wife and I lived in Round Rock for 21 years and only about 1/2 mile from the Brushy Creek and Hairy Man Road, We used to go down that road to get into the backside of our subdivision. Back in the 90's the Hairy Man Road was a very small 1 lane road with the tree's and brush very thick and at night it was kind of spooky. But Round Rock had grew so much that they went in and made it a 2 lane road and cleared most of the tree's and brush way back and put in jogging and bike trails so today it is nothing like it was before. In the 21 years we lived there I had never heard of any Bigfoot sightings. Too much population and growth, not enough wooded area for Sasquatch to live in but just wanted to give my 2 cents since we lived there.
Love how Chris just rolls up to his spots and is like this is it. Then sets up the gear for the story. Always great stuff. Going to comment more and more to show my support.
I love your story telling Chris!!! You are one of my favorite UA-camrs! I hope you and your family have an amazing Christmas!!!! Thank you for another great story 💗
East Texas has what they call the big thicket. There is a bunch of bigfoot happenings there. You are hard core Chris, for hiking in the snow. I like that too. Love from Colorado. Thank you for your work.
Hi Chris, I’ve said before-there’s something about you, I just really like you buddy. Good heart, good vibes! Solid, dependable and when you show up everyone gets happy. You’re also one of the best story tellers I’ve ever heard. Thank you for taking us along with you in your videos. Each one is real scenic beauty and kicking back to hear you talk is always something special! Where I grew up we had winters just like this video with everything from clear crystal blue skies to black heavy snow storms with thunder and lightning. Merry Christmas to you and your loved ones and keep these wonderful videos coming please!!
Chris, thank you for giving me something to look forward to and giving me someone to hang out with during the most difficult time in my life this year. Things are getting better. But your videos helped me get through a really rough time.
I used to live in Round Rock and visited the “round rock” you showed in the picture. That is a very populated area! Hard to imagine a big foot there. Round Rock is not a “town” anymore….hasn’t been for years
Me and a friend had two large creatures follow us up the Brazos river while we were in a canoe heading back to our truck parked near the bottom of the Possum Kingdom dam. This was about 12:30-1:00 am until about 4:30ish in the morning. This all was proceeded by something big in a stand of trees about 300 ft behind our camp on the east side of the river. First we heard a whoop whoop sound and were discussing what that was then it started thrashing the trees around, we could see the tree tops moving back and forth then it stopped all this started at around 11:30. After a few minutes a bowling ball size rock landed in our camp near the fire and at that point we both were on edge and stood up and chambered rounds in our weapons, we had a semi auto 12 ga and a mac-90 (Chinese AK-47 knockoff) also a couple of pistols a 44 mag and a 357 mag. But we didn't shoot, we were really confused and were thinking at first it was just some people messing with us, but we were miles from the nearest house it is pretty remote in the section of the river we were in which was about 7 miles south of Possum Kingdom lake. Then another rock was thrown into our camp followed by a yell/scream from the west side of the river which is about 60 feet wide, it was really really loud like someone had a bullhorn it definitely put us both on edge. Then whatever was on the westside of the river started thrashing the trees on that side as well . Then whatever was behind our camp on the east side in the stand of trees growled at us really loud, we could tell it was big by the depth and how loud the growl was and then another big rock was thrown but this one landed in the fire. That was all it took, we just grabbed our firearms pushed the canoe off then started paddling back up river making sure to stay right in the center of the river. Neither one of us talked at all all the way back to the truck which took about 4-5 hours paddling. Whatever they were followed us on both sides of the river until we got a half mile or so from where we parked the truck and at that point we could see the lights on the top of the dam, that's when we stopped hearing movement in the brush. They would do a Whoop Whoop every so often and at one time the one on the westside yelled out some gibberish that sounded like a language of some sort. Also few times something would splash in the river near the canoe but it could have just been Garr fish breaking the surface, we did see a 6 ft. Garr breaking the surface on the paddle downstream earlier on the previous day . We left all our gear both tents, a couple of coolers with food and beer in them, sleeping bags, fishing poles etc., we even left the fire burning, never went back to get any of it. I haven't been back in the woods since, don't think I will ever go back down that section of the Brazos ever again after this. This all happened back in the mid nineties, and no we never got a good look at them but did see a large black figure on the west side of the river once running from one stand of trees to the next. My guess is they were running us out of there not sure what would have happened if we stayed the night or if we had taken a shot at them.
Now I don't know what the story is but one of my cousins refuses to ever go anywhere near possum Kingdom anymore. I don't know if it was a human or a creature whatever happened. I lean more to the creature and maybe that's why he doesn't want to talk about it. I would think that if a human did something he would talk about it and report it to the local authorities. But I don't know if I'll ever know.
@@brendabautista9683 My buddy that was with me refuses to talk about that night, every time I have mentioned it he just says something smart assed and changes the subject. Once we got back to the truck we just threw the canoe and paddles in the back, didn't tie it down until we reached the top of the dam under the street lights up on the road on the top of the dam. On the drive back to Fort Worth we didn't really talk, I said something once all he said was he was tired and wanted to go home. I myself didn't tell anyone about it for about two years and I am careful who I tell. That was the last time me and him took the canoe out or went camping. I still get anxious just driving down rural farm roads late at night where it is pitch black or just being anywhere alone in a rural area without anyone around. I have not been camping again since that weekend back in the 90's.
@@GregDV I don't blame you one bit. I had a camper but we got rid of it I just can't bring myself to go camping since you can't park in Walmart parking lot any longer I just can't go out in the woods knowing everything that I know and camp. When I was a kid we had a lot of experiences that of course I didn't know way back in the '70s when I was young that that's what it was now is an adult I know exactly what it was. There's a lot of places in Texas that has activity and people just don't realize that they can be close to town too it doesn't have to be out in the boonies.
Appreciate you telling your story bro, I would be spooked even tho being armed to the tee. Thanks I love reading peoples personal experiences. Respect 🙏
Oh my Chris, look at that snow, how magical. Wish it was like that here. Only a few inches here in Blighty and the whole country's at a standstill dammit!
Cheers for Mr Chris even in the snow ⛄️ He brings us stories. Every video I watch if a creature is behind you. Be careful enjoy your adventures as we do.
Chris, I am from Oregon, and that is my go to beer. I love Black Butte! I have tried many many craft beers, and Black Butte is my jam. Thanks for your great story telling and down to earth personality. I love it. Please keep it going. There is no like you.
Absolutely beautiful and a wonderland. Wish I was there to experience it. There is something magical about your videos. I really have not put my finger on it. That area of country is so awesome. The stories keep me locked in and always want to hear more of. Thanks again.
Interesting story. Most Bigfoot sightings in this region of Texas is in east Texas and south east Oklahoma near broken Bow Oklahoma also on the reservation there. You’re snow is glorious! The scariest things out hiking here are wild boars and feral dogs. Hike on😎👍🏻🎄
lol I drive. I don't stop at tracks any longer than necessary- too afraid of getting caught by a train with a load of rowdy kids. Plus there are so many cameras in and outside of buses these days, it's like a traveling surviellence system. There is either 14 or 16 cameras on my bus.
On Sunday nights, every time, I see your post Chris and my eyes widen and I say out loud in the kitchen while I'm by myself, "Yesss!" like Kip from Napoleon Dynamite. And you're drinking one of my faves! I will never forget when I was in Portland, OR buying a 6er of it and this old cool dude in line said so loud at the checkout, "Black Butt Porter!?" 😂
I so love you’re stories and the different sites you choose to tell them in , So Cool Chris, perhaps in one of these story times we may have a sighting of a Cryptid😮 anyway’s be safe buddy and thanks for an awesome channel :)
Hello fellow Minnesotan, nice to see all the trees and winter snow by the feather river. Lived a time in Feather Falls CA. All gone now. Beautiful area. Thank you for sharing
One of these days I expect to look over your shoulder and see a Bigfoot standing in the background.

My mom grew up in VERY rural East Texas in the 30s....even back then there were reports of a "wild man" (bigfoot) on the Sabine River.
The only disappointing thing about this video is how short it is. I love Chris' 30 minute ramblings....
What an unnerving experience for her! My daughter drives school bus. She's very calm and collected in trying situations, but seeing a Sasquatch, wow! The snow was so pretty on your hike out. I heard on the news about the 4-6 feet of snow expected in the Sierras. That's a heap of snow! Nice video, good story and beautiful snow.
I’ve camped at South Lake Tahoe in the Summer most every year since 2004 and it makes me so happy to see the sierras getting so much snow.
I bet the kids love her.
And hopefully we will get several more storms like this one in the next few months.

Texas in the house! Very interesting story. I live way north of Round Rock but I've driven across Brushy Creek many times while traveling south to the Austin area. I think most of the Sasquatch stories I hear about are in East TX, so this one surprised me. Great story! KEEP HIKING 🙂
There are so many Sasquatch, dog Man and other strange creatures or cryptids whatever you want to call them stories come out of the Hill country. My sister is a good friend with Willie Nelson and I don't know if you know it but he lives there in the Hill country He's got a big place. I wonder if he has any stories to tell or he just keeps them to himself maybe one day I'll have the opportunity through my sister of course to ask him about it. Well I hope so anyway. I think it'd be a good conversation if he had any stories either way
@@brendabautista9683 I haven't heard about this. Wouldn't it be something if Chris interviewed Willie!!
@@juanitagarcia958 I don't know He's kind of a private person.
@@juanitagarcia958 I don't even know if he has any experiences but it's something that I would like to possibly ask him one day if I get the opportunity
That sounds about right. Oklahoma, Louisiana, and Arkansas all seem to be Sasquatch hot beds, so it seems likely that they would spread over into east Texas.
I live and have camped all around Texas. It seems every region has their big foot stories. I've had a few encounters myself in places I would never have expected to.
I have been a professional over the road truck driver for 33 years now. I've driven Coast to Coast in the United States so many times I can't count. Been across most of the Canadian provinces as well. And the strange and scary things that I've seen over the years I could write a book about. But anyway. When the day finally comes that I can park my truck and go home. I hope I have enough resources and my dream dog, (A Siberian Husky )to where I can get back out on the road and see these wonderful beautiful places in detail. I guess you can think of it this way. It's one thing to walk into a kitchen and see a delicious large pot of boiling beef stew. But it's another thing all together to watch how that beautiful meal was put together one ingredient after the other in detail. Keep hiking everyone!🚛🇺🇸😌
I hope and pray you get your Siberian dream pup and get to live your best life ever! Ask, BELIEVE and receive! 🥰🙏🏽💕
Chris, I kind of envy your lifestyle. Experiencing all of that beauty and serenity. And thank you for sharing it with us. I love to hear and watch you tell your stories. You are the best, hands down. Keep hiking. 💗😊
Chris,
I know where Round Rock, TX is. I was currently in Taylor,TX for work. I saw that round rock. My boss actually told me the exact same story you are telling now. How ironic! I absolutely loved Round Rock,TX. Sorich in history. Much love to you Chris.
Merry Christmas.
Taylor Ducks ! lol

Right?
You're right ! I live in North Texas and it's well known to have numerous bigfoot sightings ! My older brother had a terrifying experience in Sam Houston State park back in 2001. His best friend was with him and it was around sundown in the fall. They had just stopped walking to have a snack and something to drink. After sitting there for about 5 minutes suddenly a huge rock was thrown at them and nearly hit Leroy in the head. They emeditally jumped up and turned around to see where it came from and then there was a loud yell from the trees. My brother said it made chills up their spines and it was terrifying. He said they emeditally started walking back to the truck as fast as they could. They left and have never been back. We tried to get them to show us where it happened but they both said no way !
Ask them an approximant location I would love to swing by and check it out! During the early daylight hours not wanting to be there at night!😁
Yes, Chris, these things are showing up in Texas and dogman are too. I grew up in west Texas and most of my family is there. My daughter lived in Round Rock for two years. I live in Canada 🇨🇦 now. Great story.
Seems like the main thing they are attracted to are creeks. So the mountains or even forests aren’t a requirement for their kind.
Hi ... Welcome to Canada! 🇨🇦 👍😊 .. , As long as l can remember l have always wanted to visit Texas since l was a kid.. .. on my bucket list as they say ..
I also live, in Texas, I also want to move to Canada, I was wondering what took you up there? Is it the heat? I can't handle this Texas heat anymore.
Chris , I'm always amazed that you are aware of all these disparate Sasquatch stories. Awesome job retelling them !!
Hey Chris, We almost moved to Round Rock some 20 yrs ago because of my husband’s job but Texas was too hot and humid. We were born and raised in So Calif but moved to Eagan, Mn some 24yrs ago, again due to my husband’s job. We loved Mn so much my husband left his company after 29+ yrs to stay here. It seems there are Sasquatches all over the US, even here in Mn. I’ve also heard of encounters around the Feather river, so be on the lookout. Love your stories. Always look forward to them. 😊
You need a hiking partner Chris!
Four legged or two. We enjoy your posts and we will be watching.
That would be cool! Thanks!!
Great story, Chris! And the snow was absolutely beautiful on the trees. We don’t get snow here in South Louisiana, and as I type this it’s 71 degrees outside lol. Stay safe and keep warm.
How beautiful the forest looks with all the snow on the trees!
Wow! I live in Ohio and we get our fair share of snow, however we NEVER see snow like that! It is gorgeous! Love the story as well. I can't imagine that poor bus driver. What an experience! Thanks as always, Chris!
Ohio here, too!
That`s a real cold beer Chris 😂😂🤣🤣😂😂🤣🤣
East Texas is very well known for Sasquatch The Red River that separates Oklahoma and Texas is well known for Sasquatch. Basically anywhere where there's a creek river or lake with tree cover they can be encountered
I believe Chris is one of the best story tellers around. Just found him a few months and really enjoy his enthusiastic spirit . I'm always looking around as he is hiking in and while he's sitting doing the story.... Great job Chris!!!! Merry Christmas to you and yours. 🎄.
This one hit close to home. I've spent a lot of good times fishing, kayaking, and camping on Brushy Creek. I was always more worried about someone breaking into my truck than I was a sasquatch... Thanks, now I got a new thing to worry about! I never had anything strange happen to me on Brushy Creek. But at one of my favorite campsites on the South San Gabriel river I can say I had something weird happen. It wasn't really much, I didn't see anything, but it had me kind of freaked out for a few hours. The South San Gabriel river and the headwaters of Brushy Creek come to close each other between Liberty Hill and Leander Tx. Just sayin' take it for what it is.
Thanks Chris, really like your videos. Keep it up bud!
Looks beautiful!
Always a Great Story he never lets us down!! Keep on Hiking and telling us awesome stories Chris 😃😊
I find this story very hard to believe if it happened in recent years...the daily car count is anywhere from 2,800 to 3,400 cars per day on Brushy Creek Road and the entire area is very heavily populated.....I owned a house in Round Rock for one year in 2004 and walked around the area with my dog late at night....never heard or saw anything strange.......loved @GregDV story.....I would not go anywhere near parts of the Brazos River at night!!!!
Nice to seeing all the snow. Don’t have that in Florida where I now live
I watched this video earlier but didn't get chance to comment until now so I'll watch it again. These videos never get boring!
Wow what a frightening encounter, and all the kids saw that Squatch as well! Unusual that he put in an appeaerance during the daytime, normally they like to frighten people in the night.
I know exactly what this bus driver lady meant when she was worried about anyone finding out - it's the same for all of us in the transport industry: when we see anything unusual, we have to keep quiet about it for fear not just of ridicule, but also fear of our state of mind being questioned. This could cost us our entire career.
Stories like ghost stories do get passed round, but folks are careful about what they say and to whom. They also tell stories as jokes, so that real experiences don't result in any problems. This in turn means one never knows what to believe...
Wow you sure got a lot of snow there! We got snow here too now but not that much. Could change later this week though, looks like the snow will get worse. There's also strikes everywhere here in the UK - on the railroad, the postal service, ambulance crews, nurses want to strike soon too... the UK is in chaos as always, hahaha...
What a beautiful, snowy area. As always Chris, a great tale.
Love, Love, Love the snow Chris thank you. Where we live in Australia we rarely get snow. Its so beautiful and adds a lot of atmosphere to the story. Im always looking behind and to the sides of you while listening. Great story again. Have a great week. ❤️🇦🇺🦘
Hi Chris,
I am sorry to write this, because I am a subscriber fom back, when you just had only a few hundred viewers. The channel changed a lot in the last 9 months. You were always an inspiration to me, when it comes to hiking & camping. I miss the beautiful hiking trips & adventures. The beautiful landscape, building up camps, making a fire, food. You are living in one of the most beautiful areas that I have ever seen. Please don't stop hiking.......please....your huge fan,
IVO
Hi Chris. I’m glad to see someone address this as I have been wondering the same thing for a while now. Is this your new format or will you be returning to hunting and backpacking anytime soon? Thanks.
@@louisesilverstein2152
Thank you,. Louise.
I love his channel & I also like some stories now & then.
But to me it looks like he changed the channel completely. And I loved it so much, the way it was.
A second channel could be a solution. Or is there another reason......
Hi B Scotland. First I need to correct a typo . I meant hiking not hunting. Keeping hopeful that he will begin backpacking to all the neat places he goes and maybe sprinkle in a story now and then but mainly return to the beautiful Sierra Nevada outdoors which he was doing when I first started watching his channel.
@@balmacarascotland9106 I like the idea you mentioned about Chris maybe having two channels. Curious what you might be referring to Re: “ …or is there another reason…?”. Tks again.
Wow! That snow covered area is absolutely beautiful! I love the crunching sound. However, I’ll enjoy it from here in Florida! 😂 Thank you Chris for all your stories! ❤
Welcome Denise! C❤🐻
I'm a Sasquach living in the Gatesville, Texas area, we are one of the few Bigfoot neighborhoods that recently got WiFi.
Many of us are going to move, perhaps to west Texas, just to many yuppies moving in these days. We do enjoy your videos.
Love it!!
A close aquaintence of mine ( Mr. T ) who is a former Michigan police officer and Vietnam War Veteran U.S. Marine ( who does not want to be interviewed ) did have an experience quite a few years ago in the Laredo Texas area. It was very early in the morning while he was driving his family ( who all "appeared" to were sleeping ) along a road. It was still dark out when he saw a car pass him on his left. As this car passed him on his left he saw a dark very tall hairy upright figure ( described as a large upright hairy man } ahead which just seemed to miss that upcoming car as it passed it. At this moment this figure approximately 100 to 125 feet away ahead of him leaped acrossed the road in about 2 or 3 strides and ran into a brushy field and out of sight.. Mr. T did pick up an awful smell as he passed the exact area that this figure was originally seen at. It was during this time that he realized that a family member who was in the passenger seat upfront ( who was apparently awake ) also saw it . Mr. T and his wife the next day and during lighted hours decided to visit the area where he saw this creature and searched for footprints but could not find any.
Yes you've hit it on the nail when. When it comes to Bigfoot Storytime.. love what you are doing.. more people should get into Bigfoot stories.. so interesting.. ❤️❤️❤️
I'm in NW Louisiana and we've got two different houses that have put up big cut outs of BF because we've been getting so many sightings. We have a lot of waterways around here and plenty of forests. Even my family had a freaky encounter coming back back home. Great video!
Hi Chris I hope you see my message. I believe this guy is trying to scam me and wanted to bring him to your attention as he's obviously commenting on your thread. I'm going to report him to Facebook and hope that it gets some attention. Scammers are bad to begin with but him/they trying to do this right here at Christmas is unforgivable. Anyway I love your channel and all the stories you bring to all of us, just letting you know so you can report him/they as well.
Wow, great story, Chris. I pray the deeper snow doesn't catch you or your loved ones and cause any problems for you. Keep warm and thanks for coming out and showing us the weather. Love from UK.
Beautiful there, looks like the woods outside my house! :) I drove bus for years but never had that happen, biggest animal we ever saw was a moose. Thanks for the stories.
Their is such a wonderful peace in the snowy forest ❤️ and thank you for taking time out to tell these stories 😊
Looks absolutely gorgeous up there with all that snow. Another great one!
Another Awesome story.
Yes, Texas is known for cryptoids in the Piney Woods and other places. They have an annual conference in Jefferson TX area.
Keep them up.
Beautiful 😯thanks so much for getting outside🥶 letting us see that wonderful , peaceful place you live around 😊
My wife and I lived in Round Rock for 21 years and only about 1/2 mile from the Brushy Creek and Hairy Man Road, We used to go down that road to get into the backside of our subdivision. Back in the 90's the Hairy Man Road was a very small 1 lane road with the tree's and brush very thick and at night it was kind of spooky. But Round Rock had grew so much that they went in and made it a 2 lane road and cleared most of the tree's and brush way back and put in jogging and bike trails so today it is nothing like it was before. In the 21 years we lived there I had never heard of any Bigfoot sightings. Too much population and growth, not enough wooded area for Sasquatch to live in but just wanted to give my 2 cents since we lived there.
I sure look forward to these stories, of course its not just the story its the way you tell it!
Oh Chris thank you so much for these wonderful videos, your photography of the trees in snow made my life warm, while must have been so cold ! Ellen
Love how Chris just rolls up to his spots and is like this is it. Then sets up the gear for the story. Always great stuff. Going to comment more and more to show my support.
I love your story telling Chris!!! You are one of my favorite UA-camrs! I hope you and your family have an amazing Christmas!!!! Thank you for another great story 💗
Heck with the beer 🍻 nu need some moonshine to stay warm in that weather 😂😂😂☃️❄️🌨️
Hey Chris! lookin great in the snow!
East Texas has what they call the big thicket. There is a bunch of bigfoot happenings there. You are hard core Chris, for hiking in the snow. I like that too. Love from Colorado. Thank you for your work.
Look at that winter wonderland!!!! Makes me shiver just looking at it!
Thank you Chris for your dedication and adventurous spirit!!!
Black Butte Porter and Obsidian Stout are a couple of my favorite brews! Take care out there, Chris.
Hi Chris, I’ve said before-there’s something about you, I just really like you buddy. Good heart, good vibes! Solid, dependable and when you show up everyone gets happy. You’re also one of the best story tellers I’ve ever heard. Thank you for taking us along with you in your videos. Each one is real scenic beauty and kicking back to hear you talk is always something special! Where I grew up we had winters just like this video with everything from clear crystal blue skies to black heavy snow storms with thunder and lightning. Merry Christmas to you and your loved ones and keep these wonderful videos coming please!!
Chris, thank you for giving me something to look forward to and giving me someone to hang out with during the most difficult time in my life this year. Things are getting better. But your videos helped me get through a really rough time.
The sound of snow under foot. Guess it's even louder under big-foot! LOL
I look forward to every Sunday! The Broncos are horrible but your stories keep me from watching those games. Thank you!
Great one! Great spot for a story!
Great channel, love these stories 👍
I used to live in Round Rock and visited the “round rock” you showed in the picture. That is a very populated area! Hard to imagine a big foot there. Round Rock is not a “town” anymore….hasn’t been for years
Me and a friend had two large creatures follow us up the Brazos river while we were in a canoe heading back to our truck parked near the bottom of the Possum Kingdom dam. This was about 12:30-1:00 am until about 4:30ish in the morning. This all was proceeded by something big in a stand of trees about 300 ft behind our camp on the east side of the river. First we heard a whoop whoop sound and were discussing what that was then it started thrashing the trees around, we could see the tree tops moving back and forth then it stopped all this started at around 11:30. After a few minutes a bowling ball size rock landed in our camp near the fire and at that point we both were on edge and stood up and chambered rounds in our weapons, we had a semi auto 12 ga and a mac-90 (Chinese AK-47 knockoff) also a couple of pistols a 44 mag and a 357 mag. But we didn't shoot, we were really confused and were thinking at first it was just some people messing with us, but we were miles from the nearest house it is pretty remote in the section of the river we were in which was about 7 miles south of Possum Kingdom lake. Then another rock was thrown into our camp followed by a yell/scream from the west side of the river which is about 60 feet wide, it was really really loud like someone had a bullhorn it definitely put us both on edge. Then whatever was on the westside of the river started thrashing the trees on that side as well . Then whatever was behind our camp on the east side in the stand of trees growled at us really loud, we could tell it was big by the depth and how loud the growl was and then another big rock was thrown but this one landed in the fire. That was all it took, we just grabbed our firearms pushed the canoe off then started paddling back up river making sure to stay right in the center of the river. Neither one of us talked at all all the way back to the truck which took about 4-5 hours paddling. Whatever they were followed us on both sides of the river until we got a half mile or so from where we parked the truck and at that point we could see the lights on the top of the dam, that's when we stopped hearing movement in the brush. They would do a Whoop Whoop every so often and at one time the one on the westside yelled out some gibberish that sounded like a language of some sort. Also few times something would splash in the river near the canoe but it could have just been Garr fish breaking the surface, we did see a 6 ft. Garr breaking the surface on the paddle downstream earlier on the previous day . We left all our gear both tents, a couple of coolers with food and beer in them, sleeping bags, fishing poles etc., we even left the fire burning, never went back to get any of it. I haven't been back in the woods since, don't think I will ever go back down that section of the Brazos ever again after this. This all happened back in the mid nineties, and no we never got a good look at them but did see a large black figure on the west side of the river once running from one stand of trees to the next. My guess is they were running us out of there not sure what would have happened if we stayed the night or if we had taken a shot at them.
PK is a hotspot too. I used to hunt Palo Pinto county back in the 80's.
Now I don't know what the story is but one of my cousins refuses to ever go anywhere near possum Kingdom anymore. I don't know if it was a human or a creature whatever happened. I lean more to the creature and maybe that's why he doesn't want to talk about it. I would think that if a human did something he would talk about it and report it to the local authorities. But I don't know if I'll ever know.
@@brendabautista9683 My buddy that was with me refuses to talk about that night, every time I have mentioned it he just says something smart assed and changes the subject. Once we got back to the truck we just threw the canoe and paddles in the back, didn't tie it down until we reached the top of the dam under the street lights up on the road on the top of the dam. On the drive back to Fort Worth we didn't really talk, I said something once all he said was he was tired and wanted to go home. I myself didn't tell anyone about it for about two years and I am careful who I tell. That was the last time me and him took the canoe out or went camping. I still get anxious just driving down rural farm roads late at night where it is pitch black or just being anywhere alone in a rural area without anyone around. I have not been camping again since that weekend back in the 90's.
@@GregDV I don't blame you one bit. I had a camper but we got rid of it I just can't bring myself to go camping since you can't park in Walmart parking lot any longer I just can't go out in the woods knowing everything that I know and camp. When I was a kid we had a lot of experiences that of course I didn't know way back in the '70s when I was young that that's what it was now is an adult I know exactly what it was. There's a lot of places in Texas that has activity and people just don't realize that they can be close to town too it doesn't have to be out in the boonies.
Appreciate you telling your story bro, I would be spooked even tho being armed to the tee. Thanks I love reading peoples personal experiences. Respect 🙏
Thanks Chris good story. 👍
I just found your channel. Love your stories. Thank you.
Welcome! Chris
You can't beat a good old Columbia coat! I love mine! Never cold in it
BTW the wilderness looks awesome.with the snow cover. For a moment I thought you were hiking up in the Canadian Yukon.
It's so beautiful in the snow where you are.
Great show Chris! Enjoy the winter weather!👍 11:46
great video chris
Hiking in the Sierras in the snow was a treat. Nice video.
I live 20 minutes outside of Round Rock. Wow what a beautiful snowy place your in! ❤️ Love your stories. 👍👍
Hey @ Chris! Stay safe
Oh my Chris, look at that snow, how magical. Wish it was like that here. Only a few inches here in Blighty and the whole country's at a standstill dammit!
Cheers for Mr Chris even in the snow ⛄️ He brings us stories. Every video I watch if a creature is behind you. Be careful enjoy your adventures as we do.
Chris, I am from Oregon, and that is my go to beer. I love Black Butte! I have tried many many craft beers, and Black Butte is my jam. Thanks for your great story telling and down to earth personality. I love it. Please keep it going. There is no like you.
Absolutely beautiful and a wonderland. Wish I was there to experience it. There is something magical about your videos. I really have not put my finger on it. That area of country is so awesome. The stories keep me locked in and always want to hear more of. Thanks again.
Wow!!! It's so beautiful there! 👍🤗
Awesome story, thx
OH MY GOSH Chris....the snow is soooo beautiful where you are! Fantastic story!! Stay safe and stay warm 🔥
Thank you Chris . It's so beautiful there and you are soo brave! Lol.
Wow look at the snow!! Your so fortunate! Love your stories!
Interesting story. Most Bigfoot sightings in this region of Texas is in east Texas and south east Oklahoma near broken Bow Oklahoma also on the reservation there. You’re snow is glorious! The scariest things out hiking here are wild boars and feral dogs. Hike on😎👍🏻🎄
Love all the video's.be safe.
Another perfect story. Look forward to Sunday's adventures
To all the busdrivers out there, keep the bus moving please!
lol I drive. I don't stop at tracks any longer than necessary- too afraid of getting caught by a train with a load of rowdy kids. Plus there are so many cameras in and outside of buses these days, it's like a traveling surviellence system. There is either 14 or 16 cameras on my bus.
On Sunday nights, every time, I see your post Chris and my eyes widen and I say out loud in the kitchen while I'm by myself, "Yesss!" like Kip from Napoleon Dynamite.
And you're drinking one of my faves! I will never forget when I was in Portland, OR buying a 6er of it and this old cool dude in line said so loud at the checkout, "Black Butt Porter!?" 😂
New to this channel and i love it cheers
Round Rock TX today has a population of 123,876, and is a large suburb of Austin.
I so love you’re stories and the different sites you choose to tell them in , So Cool Chris, perhaps in one of these story times we may have a sighting of a Cryptid😮 anyway’s be safe buddy and thanks for an awesome channel :)
Wow that’s a beautiful scenery ❤ literally in awe over this
Awesome video Chris, thanks for an incredible location for story time 😍 greetings from Navajoland.
BEAUTIFUL SCENERY !
Hello fellow Minnesotan, nice to see all the trees and winter snow by the feather river. Lived a time in Feather Falls CA. All gone now. Beautiful area. Thank you for sharing
That Busdriver sure couldn't grasp the situation, " I think I'll grab my phone and snap some pics instead of getting the kids the hell out of there"
Wow !!! Stunning scenery !!
Cant wait to hear the story
Another good video Chris but I’m ready for one of your good camping videos. Keep’m coming.
Got some great camping gear due to yr recommendations Chris, thank you...gonna make a huge difference in solo camping! Keep hiking!
I love your videos just want more 😊 and longer😂
