    Had my encounter here in Utah at age 12 while hunting mule deer with my step dad, uncle and a friend named John. My second was while pulling field guard on a Battery Section of Self Propelled Artillery at Fort Sill, Oklahoma. This was the early 90s and almost cost me my military career because of my written field report. To old too care who believes or not.I didn't ask or look for it but they exist. 🌲👣👣👣🌲

    I had a closeup encounter with a sasquatch when I was 12 yrs old in Ocean Shores, Washington State...unforgettable experience....this beast was no more than 30 ft away from me leaning against a tree staring me down...although it was upright leaning against a tree, I recall that its fingertips were almost touching the ground....very strange indeed, and I have to say...it looked nothing even remotely close to the familiar pictures that everyone is used to seeing.
    Somewhat of a greenish brown with matted dreadlock styled mangy coat of fur and its face looked like it was hit with a shovel...flattened features....pretty scary

    Crazy. Dad retired from USMC and I grew up in 29 Palms right outside of JT . Used to go up there as a boy scout and camp and later as a teen and party in the "Monument" as us locals called it. Heard local stories of a Yucca Man that used to be up there but never saw anything. Did see numerous UFO's up in that area growing up though.

    I lived just outside of the park in Joshua Tree village a couple of years ago. I spent a lot of time hiking in the park without incident. I will say, however, that people would go missing frequently. Some were found but often they were not. The last one who disappeared during my time there was a visitor from Canada who went for a hike to take photos just before he was to return home. He even told his wife what trail he was going on. No sign of him was found to my knowledge.
    Thanks for the story. I was not aware of this incident.
    You have a beautiful family!

    I've lived 4 miles from Joshua Tree National Park for over 55 years now. I was a back country volunteer for 10 years and have logged thousands of hours and miles hiking. When we were kids camping up in the monument/park, we would tell scary Yucca Man stories around the campfire at night. Legend has it that Yucca Man was an 'defective' child left to die in the desert by his parents. He was taken in and raised by a pack of coyotes. His body is badly scarred from injuries and rock rash. We constantly made up new stories Yucca Man, one of the constants is his incredible stench. A miasma so foul it makes vultures gag. He is myth and legend and fun to make up stories about but he isn't real. The only thing scary about JTNP is it is part of the Mojave and Colorado Deserts, real deserts that will kill you if you don't follow her rules.

    It’s our Queen’s state funeral this morning and I’ll be preparing to settle down to watch this very sad occasion. Sadly, for me, she is the last of what made Britain great and I feel our country may change….I hope not It’s a dramatic time for Britain.

I’m proud of William and Harry and the lives they have been living. I’m an American of English and Danish ethnicity and proud of it. I’d love to see what a United Britain could do with fresh ideas.

      I've also heard ... well I don't know about in Scotland but in England people are not allowed to even have a Swiss Army life on them , which is crazy ... I hear they are not even allowed to carry pepper spray for protection .

      Have you ever heard of the Dogmen Encounters Radio channel here on the tube ?
      If not I think you would love it because the people tell their own experiences themselves and he does a light interview with them .
      But the earlier stories are not as good for whatever reason they're just not as riveting except for the one from Cheshire , England .
      There are hundreds of stories on the channel now and some of them are really mind-blowing .
