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

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

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?

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!

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.

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.

Also most of its private due to a lot of people with big bucks coming over from other countries and England,buying up all the properties and making the land and waterways private. Its hard to go fishing,you need to pay for permits or the queens bailiff will fine you money or charges by police. Theres a lot more too. We want independence but the rigged our result in 2014 so we list even though we won.

[@gardensofthegods]

@@yeshuas_follower yes I did know it was changing culturally there a lot and I had always wanted to live in the UK since I was a kid and then started thinking about how much it's changing there and that people don't even have freedom of speech to talk about when horrible things happen because of these cultural changes . 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 . Here in America one must have a fishing license for any kind of fishing no matter what it is and in every state in America ... I don't know how long it's been like that but I would say probably pretty long ... maybe a couple decades at least . I do remember when the vote was going on but in my memory it seemed more like 2015-2016 ? I guess the time really flies . It's possible it was rigged especially if it was done electronically .

Isn't that name taken from the book that was later it made into the movie with Jane Seymour and Christopher Reeves ? That was a great story , my Dad loved it also . 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 . There are a number of channels that are about Cryptids . I doubt you people are having the horrible hot weather again ... I'm sure things have cooled off and I thought things were cooling off here in Dallas but now this week they will be around 97 degrees Fahrenheit and that's without the heat index .

[@gardensofthegods]

Have you ever seen anything weird there in Scotland ... any Cryptids or anything like that ? The stories were freaking me out so bad about 4 or 5 years ago that I actually stopped going into the woods alone for over 2 years . At one point recently I thought it would be interesting to see one of them , especially a dog man but then I came back to my senses and realized now I don't want to see them especially not up close . Maybe a Bigfoot a Sasquatch because people say in general they tend to be really gentle and empathetic and there are many stories of people having nice interactions with them

Well, that was a really great story. So scary. They narrowly escaped that thing!!!! Can't wait til the next one !!!!

That's a amazing story. We live in northern Idaho next to Montana and Canada. But have winter a few times at Desert Hot Springs. Very close to Joshua Tree National Park. We've been there a few times it's a great place to explore but never thought about running into a Bigfoot there LOL thanks for sharing and remember never to go gently and to the good night

Pretty new to your channel. Was wondering where you get your stories? Do you ever receive Dogman stories? Are the stories sent by subscribers? Loved this one. Stay safe out there.

Great stories Chris 👍 don't know how you go out there in woods knowing these creatures could possibly exists. You brave man! Can you do a overnight camp out soon with a camp fire ?

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!

[@shirleyhenderson4183]

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

[@littleteethkeith]

[@jonathanhansen3709]

Having camped, and explored, both Joshua Tree, and the Mojave Preserve, extensively for the last 35 years, I’m very skeptical of this story from some newbies from Michigan. Have never heard of anything like this, from other people who have spent even more time there than me.

[@pearlthedrone]

Agree 💯. I camp/hike alone every time I'm there, which is 4-5 times per year. I've never felt such peace anywhere in the world. The occasional rattler is probably what I look out for the most.

[@jackbauer9347]

It's bullshit. Been out there a 1000 times.

I lived a quarter mile from the entrance to Joshua Tree,and hung out there all the time.70's. This is a BS story, But your good at retelling it.

[@AceGibson1959]

@@pearlthedrone I'm more cautious about the Pacific Rattler and Diamond Back than of a supposed bigfoot. I am within 2 hours of JT and have been there for years and years and I've had more run-ins with humans than bigfoots. lol

I grew up in the San Diego area and when your story happened I was 22 which is around the time I used to get out to the deserts riding 3 wheelers but I also was a serious hiker and had been since the late 60s so I've been all over Joshua Tree National Park and the only stories I've heard prior to this had to do with snake encounters and scorpions. The place in the San Diego area that got a lot of stories told about was Procter Valley, a long dirt road that runs from Jamul to Bonita passes through Procter Valley(It's all built up now) and back then there were animal mutilations with talk of a satanic cult was going around and there was also talk of a bigfoot creature known as the Procter Valley Monster. My friends and I used to get stoned and go out there late at night trying to scare each other plus about half way down that road there was a tree known as the hangman tree where supposedly someone hung them self years before so we always stopped there and got out of the car. There is a long story about me driving off a small cliff while chasing a sheriff car we were racing to the Bonita Winchell's but this is already pretty long. LOL

[@jasongeorge745]

I grew up hanging out in Proctor Valley, got stuck out there twice. 1st time spent all night digging the truck out of the mud, 2nd time ran n2 a truck with a wench while walking out, he pulled me out of the water. Had alot of fun out there. This was the late 80's early 90's. B4 it got built up to.

[@stevej7139]

@@jasongeorge745 One time when we were out there(myself and 4 others in two vehicles) we passed a truck going the other way full of people in the back and didn't think much of it since we knew they were likely illegals and just wanted to get north to central California plus we were young and not big on law enforcement. When we came back the other direction at the slight S turn in the road we saw that truck on it's side and the people scattered when we came up. We stopped and asked if anyone was hurt and surprisingly just cuts and bruises so we helped get the truck back on it's wheels and they went on their way... weird night for sure but we looked at the truck and the front wheels weren't exactly pointing the same way but they drove off anyway LOL

Chris, this is so nice to see you share camping memories with your mom and dad ! My parents have passed now but I can still share stories with my sisters and brother and have old pictures of our camping adventures. We still enjoy camping in the summer and fall. Keep hiking, keep camping!

[@LittleKitty22]

Wow that must have been so scary! I wonder why Bigfoot gets so mad whenever someone gets into his territory - what's he so scared of? I can well believe that he chased the car, these things are probably very fast - Bigfoot I mean! That's a lovely family photograph, thank you for sharing that with us! And it's always such lovely scenery where you go hiking! Just make sure there's no squatch around, I worry about you, they turn up very suddenly and most of the time they are mad as hell!
