He Almost DIED...Then Rescued by a Sasquatch | Plus Interview!

[@tlcowen1970]

Great story Chris,I've heard another story recently of a mountain biker who was racing down a mountain and rounding a curve on to a sudden steep incline and was suddenly visciously attacked by a huge mountain lion.He also virtually gave up expecting death because the cat had mauled him so bad and had him in a firm grip on the back of his neck and restricted his breathing.Just as he was fading a 9to 10 foot sasquatch appeared out of nowhere grabbed the lion with two huge hands lifted it above it's head and brought it down on its shoulders so hard it snapped it's spine instantly. The guy was similar to your guy where he was still conscious cause be had a rush of adrenaline. If that wasn't enough the guy said it took a look at him snarled took one leap over a huge boulder at the side of the trail and about 10 seconds later a female sasquatch appeared and it was then his mind and blood loss made him pass out.Next thing he remembers is being rushed to hospital in a EMT van.He asked the medic how they got to him and he said a ranger walked out of his cabin and he was lying just in front of him.Wow what a tale guys!!

Wow, amazing. I hear so many contradictory stories. I have no doubt that some Sasquatch eat people. When they knock on trees when there's a human around - that's the dinner bell! But I have also heard so many stories of Sasquatch rescuing folks or helping lost people find their way back, and helping women and children. It's so fascinating!

[@jefftracy3771]

What an amazing story! From what I've heard, Bigfoot that have families are much more friendly and less aggressive towards people than Bigfoot that live on their own. It sounds as if they were trying to warn him in their own language to get off of the log pile before it collapsed.

Good observation-! Makes sense based on the outcome! Bcc⛺️

[@donnacreamer4123]

My husband and I have a Sasquatch family that visits our place occasionally. The young female is about 15 and loves to listen when we play music. We are being patient and open with them out of respect. Through telepathy she has informed us that the family is expecting a newborn soon. We do leave out apples for them as they seem to really enjoy the crunch.

Wow, intense! Firstly people, never wander on unstable log piles, for obvious reasons, secondly, I don't think a Squatch would reveal itself and free you from certain death only to then kill you, it sounds like it was debating with another about if it should assist or leave the human to his fate. Maybe these creatures are smart enough to know a dead human brings even more unwanted activity to its territory...

Hey Chris good to see you back hiking ! This story blew me away . I could hear the fear in Bill's voice and the desire to go back hoping for a face to face. He wants to show the thing it has no reason to fear him. Maybe doing that will take away the night terrors and everything else. Bill I just said a prayer for you in Jesus name. It was Jesus by your side keeping you alive. He allowed this to happen for a reason. I've stopped wondering and I've no fear just a flash here and there. My lack of fear comes from the blind faith that what happens in this world even if I'm killed I know I'm going to Heaven . There's only two places people go. That's easy for me because no matter what, I do not look at evil. Because I can't stand it. I know evil I've felt the attacks on me .

Chris, there is a PTSD therapy called EMDR that can really help with the symptoms. The practitioner has the client make certain eye movements while recounting the problem memory, and the symptoms can diminish and even disappear altogether.

Really great story. Hope that the man can recover from his encounter. Obviously in this case Sasquatch wanted to help. Sending blessings and healing. Much we still need to learn in this universe.

When I was a teenager, a friend of mine swore he had a bigfoot encounter at his cabin by the river. No one believed him and it would make him angry. I always believed him because he was so serious about it. 20 years later I had my own encounter with a bigfoot. Of course no one believed me either. Now 20 years later, again, my daughter had an encounter. She didn't see what was chasing her but she was sure it was a bigfoot. Months later my 9 year old grandson saw it. He's saw it many times over a few weeks time. It was like he was stalking my parents home for some reason. The neighbors swear that something comes around and are very afraid of it. They swear it's a bigfoot but won't really talk about it. All of these sightings happened within a 5-6 mile area. It's funny that no one believes these stories, but because I know what I saw, I do. It's weird though that I haven't heard more stories because this is a rural, forested, tight knit community. I don't know how long a bigfoot lives but I wonder if there is only one or is there a family of them. Who knows. This all happened in southern Illinois in the Shawnee Forest area. Craziness.

Your stories are a great respite from all the political nastiness, hate, rage, racism etc. we hear about on the news... sometimes halfway through the week, I repeat an older episode!!

[@willdufrene8181]

Chris, this was a very interesting and fantastic encounter. It shows that these creatures have some type of humanity in them. Also, glad to see you camping and cooking again while telling these stories, keep it up.

[@unropednope4644]

There are actually a few stories like this that you'll notice if you deep dive the subject and read older books and sighting reports. A lot of witnesses have reported being assisted or "saved" by a sasquatch. It's obvious these beings aren't inherently dangerous to humans any more than black bears. They aren't predators of humans or abducting people like some ignorant youtubers and authors like to promote.

[@dartmouthma6892]

Wow! What an experience!!!! What cool stories!!! Great rendition! Thank you 💜

[@nathanearly-jq3qd]

That was a crazy interview. Thanks as always Chris. I'm always fascinated listening to these encounters from the people who experienced them.

[@cristinajaime361]

This has to be 1 of my favorite stories!! Prefeectly told by you and Bill!! Thanks for sharing. Keep pushing forward Bill 💪 🙏

[@donnamantellato4094]

Don't you scare yourself telling these stories. I watched this at home during a storm outside and got really scared😂. Great story telling.

[@teresacorrigan3076]

Me too😮

[@pepperooli]

This story, i.e., interview, had me on the edge of my seat the whole time. I so hope this man will be able to say thank you to the Forest Man who saved his life.

[@mariacarnemolla]

Wow I just love this story. 😮❤

[@elaineisabelle427]

This is an incredible encounter that I've heard over the years multiple times but always secondhand. I've never heard him being interviewed b4 so your lucky Chris that he picked you. I've heard probably at least 100 encounters where these creatures have helped or saved injured people and less than 10 encounters where people have helped an injured sasquatch. I'm glad Bill's encounter was with a good Sasquatch. Can you imagine the strength of these creatures to lift trees like that or the numerous accounts where a sasquatch bent a rifle in half or like a pretzel. Thx, very, amazing, fantastic encounter story. Glad you made it out alive, I guess you weren't very much help at your aunt's house after this. What I would like to know is did he believe in sasquatch prior to this happening.

[@basecampchris]

He didn't really think about it...and didn't believe they actually existed....from what he told me.

[@patriotUSA2007]

Amazing encounter!! Also love watching you cook your steak and veggies outdoors. Looks delicious. You make camping looking really enjoyable. Thanks for the great stories. I love them. Keep 'em coming, Chris!

[@joannadavis1881]

AWESOME story. I totally believe this man. He has absolutely no reason to lie. This man was literally taking his last breath and experienced something no one else will ever go through in this lifetime. He saw something greater than anything he could have imagined. I pray he gets his wish to meet the one that pulled the tree off of him and can finally have his peace in this lifetime.

[@jumaris28]

Thanks Chris for this real & amazing story . Thanks for your guest to come forward , for sure Bill experience is not like anyone else . I bet he never saw nature the way he used to . This shows these creature have feelings of caring and should never be hunting down or take for granted . I fell asleep tired and didn’t finish the rest , this morning woke up & went right back to it . Have a safe day everyone. Mariela from Camarillo California. Thanks for sharing 😊

[@basecampchris]

Good words. C

[@spiderlily4386]

First time on your channel, and it is wonderful! I believe the Sasquatch should be protected and their habitat preserved. Subscribed 🙂

[@basecampchris]

Welcome!⛺️

[@RetracEllgac]

It's always a good day when Chris drops a new video

[@barbarahouser2193]

Chris loved this story and the shots of the horses and scenery! You are really blessed to get to do hiking camping and be surrounded by such beauty! 🐴🍺💖

[@brianmarek6159]

I've heard this encounter several times b4, so glad to finally hear the real person tell it. Thx Chris, awesome show

[@enitramt]

Amazing story. These creatures are gentle giants, that will protect themselves if provoked.

[@_theloremaster]

When you said “who sits around in the forest, drinks beer, and gets paid for it? Me!” Made me so happy haha I am so glad you found something that makes you happy!😊

[@Frampo46]

Chris I have been watching your videos for a while now and really enjoy your content but have to say...This is my favorite so far and have shared it with some friends. Thank you to you and the gentleman for sharing this absolutely incredible encounter. I hope he does get a chance to meet scarface in person I think it would be incredible closure and phenomenal therapy for him. Thankyou again Pete from Australia 🇦🇺🇦🇺

[@chalillo2268]

Awesome!! We should all recommend this channel to friends and family! Make this channel the best on the topic! 🙂

[@carmenmarcinkiewicz7149]

Wooohoooo, you're back to camping!!! Yay! Chris, you're THE BEST story teller. You painted a picture of this event. I appreciate all you do to share these stories with us.

[@michaelyunkelo1757]

WOW!!! What a story!! So glad he survived but sorry he has to deal with PTSD and night terrors and a sleep disorder. I never would've climbed those logs. To much could go wrong.

[@cathiecollins7320]

Hi Chris, compelling story! Also, I love that we are listening to his interview while you are cooking, very clever!❤

[@basecampchris]

Thanks Cathie! C

[@nancyecuer402]

FANTASTIC story, of course your expressive way of telling stories is a great plus. I can’t believe he climbed the logs to see what was holding them in place. Seems hiking around to the backside to see what was up would have been smarter. Of course I’ve never done anything so silly, WINK WINK. Glad he survived to be able to pass on his story.

[@sethpawlik]

He. Was an outdoorsman but he just turned 17. Just a dumb kid.

[@57strub]

I understood that he walked under the log deck on the down hill side and the trees that were holding the deck of logs up gave way and landed on top of him.

[@nancyecuer402]

@@57strub Oh ok thanks. I thought the story said he climbed to the top to look over the edge to see how it was secured

[@ashleydaniel3215]

Hey Chris Great video, absolutely love that it's a lengthy one, getting my snacks and gonna grab a comfy blanket, turn down the lights and prepare for chills 👀

[@didibolter9362]

It's just like being there!

[@jamesyoung8360]

Incredible story chris stay safe keep hiking

[@jillsidock6589]

And Chris BE SAFE OUT THERE. I know you love it out there but I would rather hear the stories from your cabin or basement. lol. We believe these Big Foot creatures are the Nephlilim from the bible. My husband and I LOVE your story telling. Thank you for doing it.
