FRIGHTENING Encounter for Family in Joshua Tree National Park

[@markbirchette8740]

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

[@Nwladylaura369]

[@spiritualrabbitt3765]

How did you get away from it? Did it communicate with you?

[@jo3162]

@@spiritualrabbitt3765 no communication ...just looking at each other. Took me several minutes to figure out what I was looking at. I stood up and started backing away and He straightened up, turned and just walked back into the woods...I watched him go and he didn't even look back....seemed uninterested

[@didibolter9362]

Where abouts in Ocean Shores did you see this creature? You said that it walked back into the woods, so was that area the "weatherwax" area? We have been going to Ocean Shores for all my life and I've fortunately never had an encounter, thank goodness! Gee, I truly hope that you don't ever see another one! Thank you for sharing!

Thank you for being such a wonderful diversion from all the negative things in our world ! It’s a lovely place to settle in and feel like your in the woods with you listening to these frightful stories. I love all the details you include . Where you are , all the beautiful views ,pictures of trail heads and the locations of the stories !! Plus the sound effects are awesome too! And to make the experience even richer you include all your cool equipment and tips and recommendations and of course beer ! Your meals are always yummy looking and the glow of the lantern and fire 🔥add so much to the whole story telling scene !! Love your ideas to do other spooky content like ufos , ghosts etc. looking forward to many more ! Thank you 😊 and “ keep hiking 🥾 “ ha ha

So I love all your stories and that is partly why I'm here but what I absolutely love and learn from is your ability of story telling. The way you have an experience created around story telling rather than just rambling. It is uhm almost ASMR for me when I watch you calmly walk in and drown that beer in cold water and settle down to have a conversation with your camera. Thank you!

[@raiderfan71269]

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.

[@RaymondRAYCE]

Wtf. Really? I'm going this month. Are they everywhere or certain section(s) of the park?!

[@RaymondRAYCE]

​@@ProfeAdventureslol seriously. Quite a claim . . .

[@Sam_Saraguy]

@RaymondRAYCE You could ask at the park entrance to be sure, but I doubt there is enough water to support that. I've never heard of such a thing, and I hike there all the time. I have never seen a dog inside the park, and you are not permitted to bring a dog on a trail, even on a leash. I've seen a few coyotes and some big horn sheep. All of southern California, including JT, is mountain lion country but you could hike for a lifetime in the park and never see one - they actively avoid human contact. And watch where you step - there are rattlesnakes but you are most unlikely to have a problem with one unless you step on it.

[@KathleenMcCormickLCSWMPH]

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!

Wow amazing that they saw this thing. It’s known as the Yucca Man. Basically a desert Sasquatch. I’ve never seen one and I lived there for years. That’s pretty wild. Because I really had a hard time believing there was a viable food source for such a creature to exist out there.

Amazing how mankind has discovered extinct rare animals and their remains from over millions of years ago, yet not even 1 specimen of this sasquatch has ever been found dead or alive which is so popular amongst the believers and their encounters in modern times.

Nice looking family you have there , Chris . Great story ... makes you wonder what would have happened if the family had headed back a minute or two later . Really scary when it was charging the car and I have heard stories at least with dog men that they get pissed off no pun intended when humans piss on their turf . This has to be at least the 6th time I've heard of a Cryptid getting mad at a person shortly after peeing on the ground . Some kind of a turf thing where they don't want others marking their turf I guess .

[@LittleKitty22]

Ah so that's what pisses them off. Yes that could be, they don't like others marking their turf. That must mean that they mark their own turf by pissing everywhere. Blimey how disgusting...

Interesting!!! I never connected the 2 things together! Good point.

Awesome! Thank you!

Wow! These creatures must be all over the U.S. They are usually described with reddish or black colored hair, though. This is the first time I've ever heard of one with beige hair and dark patches. I just love your spooky stories! You are my favorite narrator of these type of videos on YT. See you on the next one!

-> Love this place!! 🏜️ Aye, there's many a strange tale I've heard about this place, Joshua Tree National Park.. High strangeness area, I'd say.. Through family, friends, & in general.. The Mohave Natives spoke about the Sasquatch, even, & about their mental powers.. Love the Sierras, Too!! 🏞️ Divine Angelic Safeguarding, & Many Blessings, ALL!! 🖖🏼📖🙌🏼🙇🏻‍♀️🙏🏼🕊️👼🏻🌄

Hello Noreen. In 1982 or 83, can't remember which. We (husband, 4 children, and myself) were traveling route 66 in northern Az. It got late, and we were all SO tired, we pulled our station wagon off the road to sleep a few hours. Our then 13 year old son woke us up because he said he saw a white, hair covered man standing just feet from the car, watching us sleep. That was years before any of us even knew about bigfoot. The location was only about 200 miles northeast of the Joshua tree forest

As a Boy Scout we had many campouts and the assistant scout master, who was also a great storyteller, used to scare the crap out of us around the campfire.
