REAL Life BIGFOOT Encounter While Hiking ALONE in the WOODS

[@thehoggattproject]

After this strange incident occurred, I was compelled to go back and further investigate the area. Here is what I found: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gpbJoIeVeKynlc0

[@charlielaudico3523]

There all sorts of noises in any woods! I have been hunting for almost 50 years! Your mind can wander when you are alone !

[@thehoggattproject]

Exactly! A good example of this was when I heard voices coming from the creek lol.

[@sincerewyd2285]

Wow, im a first nations native from British Columbia Canada. Sasquatch are as real as the ground you sleep on. I figure there are many species out there that are like the sabè (sasquatch) some are curious about us, some distance themselves from us, others fear us. And hate us. They will throw rocks at anyone they might find a threat, sometimes the rock throwing will mean theyre trying to stop you from going any further down path, i think to stop you from encountering a dogman. theyre protectors of the land, and hate loggers. Hate dogs. And hate alcohol.

[@thehoggattproject]

Yes, I like to keep an open mind and have had plenty of strange things happen while out in the wilderness. Whether it's a tree crashing down in the middle of a sunny day or rocks dropping from trees like coconuts at midnight... I try to respect the land and hope they realize I'm a friendly.

[@teresacorrigan3076]

Surprisingly they don’t have dogs as companions?

[@glennhales7302]

Here is my 2 cents......don't hike alone, don't whistle when you think they are around, don't set up near a water way, you can't hear, and it is where most animals will come too.

[@thehoggattproject]

Totally agree! And if you do, well... don't be surprised by any visitors.

[@paulineplittlelady]

It would have been interesting to actually see… something other than trees and bush. Yet another disappointment of a “real life encounter”.

[@thehoggattproject]

It was nerve wracking going through the footage thinking I had the smoking gun. I'm sorry you didn't get to see what I did... I tried my best to show what it was like in real time.

Camping rule number two, bring your pet Sasquatch to protect you from Bigfoot, I’m not kidding Bigfoots are repulsed by the smell of sasquatches

[@WestCoastDennis]

You have got a great sense of humor. I myself am working on a hoax or no hoax bigfoot video of my own that I will be putting on youtube soon. Have a good day.

[@thehoggattproject]

@@WestCoastDennis Thanks. Yeah, I first thought it was a homeless person but after going back, I found the ground dropped down 5 feet. This would have made them over 8 feet tall. I don't think I was being hoaxed, and found a bedded down area ba k there with a bunch animal scat. Good luck on your video!

[@WestCoastDennis]

@@thehoggattproject Dennis here at westcoastdennis I was just wondering if you saw my accidental videoing or whooping sounds that I videoed last year. I thought at the time that it was people playing a joke, but I am not so sure now. (a year later). I invite any comment(s) that you can add to the video entitled Squatch or no Squatch either of them as i had to re-edit it, but left the first upload on anyway.

[@atm1058]

Imagine that, a "bigfoot" encounter without any clear evidence.

[@thehoggattproject]

yeah, that seems to be how they usually go unfortunately. In this video I tried to convey what it felt like as it was happening in real time. I thought for sure I got something. I guess I'll have to go back!

[@Wavefront101]

These creatures have a matt black or brown fur, which also looks like a shadow due to low reflectivity, so visual cameras are not a good choice. Even if using a high resolution sensor, the image will come out grainy due to the lack of light. A high resolution thermal imager might give you a chance at spotting one, or using sound amplification, but how many people bring this type of equipment into the woods. I think it would be possible to use a visible camera and get a good image, but you would need a large lens assembly and good sensor combination to gather much more light, like a spotting scope or telescope.

[@thehoggattproject]

I think having the 24-105mm zoom lens would have been money in this scenario. Instead, I only brought along the 16mm and 50mm primes... whoops. This has also happened with owls where I needed more reach. What did I learn? I haven't tried thermal imaging, but I have brought night vision equipment (850nm spotlight and game camera) with me for an overnight once. It didn't take me long to realize I prefer seeing with the lights on haha.

[@RatherLiveInTheWoods]

Glad to see you’re still out there squauchin! We’ll have to go to the woods some day again when I finally am able to kick the old career.

[@stevecreighton5809]

And one thing you should know don't look for the Sasquatch look for their signs tree structures crosses X's teepees etc and listen for the signs whistles that you think it's a bird and it's not they can pretty much everything in the woods even the baby's crying so heads up big guy I see you do have a firearm which is smart but you need a lot more than that I've heard stories of Sasquatch getting shot at and they don't fall something very strange about these things and a bit of paranormal about them not all but some do have this ability and they're not from this Earth originally a little thought to think about.

[@thehoggattproject]

I'll have to dig through my old photos, but I have definitely come across these structures before. When I ignored them, the warnings became more apparent. I just felt "unwelcome". I've heard the animal imitation noises before as well and it freaked me out! I was down a long deserted dead end road when it happened. I don't immediately jump to the "it's a bigfoot" conclusion, but i don't rule it out either. It could very well just be other people trying to get a rise out of me. That's why I tend to go more remote places to hopefully rule that human factor out.

[@jerrybartlett273]

X structures are the Xanue marking their territory. Please look up the Xanue Forest people if you want to know the truth about Sasquach.

Ever explore Goldmeyer hot springs area? We used to hike up from Taylor River road back in the 80's. Crazy stuff going on up there.

[@thehoggattproject]

I just looked it up, and I've actually been out to that trailhead! I was scouting new areas and the middle fork river is a beautiful place. It looks like you've gotta pay a fee, and/or book in advance to use the hot spring today. Was it the same back then?

I've been there. Goldmeyer. I spent a couple nights there for free, my friend and I cleaned out the hot spring are inside the cave (trade with caretakers who lived there) with scrub brushes (algae/mildew). Anyway, we were awake cleaning (had to do it after the last people left for the night) for hours and we heard crazy sounds around 3 am. Being inside the cave made it more pronounced.

[@traceystanley3554]

I’ve never seen a Sasquatch, but I’m convinced they exist and after listening to numerous eyewitness encounters, it’s commonplace for them to flank you. Kerry Arnold’s encounter, while turkey hunting in Mississippi, was what convinced me they’re alive and well all over the US. You can hear him relive his encounter, which is my favorite to date, on Bigfoot Odyssey episode 5

[@williamwallacedebruce9221]

The wilderness looks rather tame, with well laid out paths with stairs and a mini excavator way out in bigfoot territory. Bigfoot must be pissed with the noise from the jets coming in to land.

[@thehoggattproject]

Yes, having a cleared and well-maintained footpath certainly makes it easier to get around. You make a good point though... no matter where you try to go you cannot escape the planes in the sky. I believe the Olympics are the only place here in Washington where they coordinated a no-fly zone for peace and quiet.

You've probably got an entire family group of Sasquatch in that old creek bed that runs parallel with the trail you're on. You're most likely hearing them move around and moving to keep an eye on you. 😊❤

I’m not 100% sure but at the 8 min and 45 second mark, when you’re looking down walking it looks like there’s footprints on the right side of the trail. You’re walking is scanning pretty quick, so I’m not for sure.

[@thehoggattproject]

Whoa, that's a good eye! It looks like a left footprint with a couple distinguishable toes! And I almost stepped right on top of it without noticing... For comparison, I wear a size 12 boot and it looks just slightly longer but twice as wide. This was also pretty hard ground so it must have been heavy!

It's interesting because I've seen plenty of campsites right on the water, and yet, I've also heard of a 100 foot setback rule (or even 200) from any water source. Is it a safety precaution so you don't run into animals coming to get a drink, like why you shouldn't camp right on a game trail? I dunno... but yes, you need to be able to hear what's around you for sure.

Yeah, totally. If something feels off, it's best to trust that gut instinct. I didn't stay the night, but vibes were good. This is when it's easy to let the guard down... That said, you should always be aware of your surroundings and keep some form of protection handy.

[@That1E_K1129]

Was that a filter during the start of the vid or was that sky actually that red? If so that is insane I've never seen the sky that red before.

[@thehoggattproject]

This was actually an infrared filter that blocks visble light from entering the camera (up to 720nm). It gives you this red image if you leave your white balance set to daylight (5600 kelvin).

Don't like the red filter make it too dark and did that sign say Sherwood Forest maybe you'll run into Robin Hood instead of Bigfoot LOL and those pictures didn't show nothing and were you circled on one of the pictures there was no face there and we said there was something large in the past the tree line didn't see nothing there either and the bear scat look pretty fresh so that's probably what you're hearing is that bear do you carry a weapon and I'm not talking about a knife because like what are you going to do if that bear comes charging out of the brush or even if Bigfoot actually came crashing through the trees out of the brush charging at you what are you going to do if you don't carry a weapon you're going to wish you did and don't be one of those stupid people that think oh that's not going to happen to me because those are the people that kind of stuff happens to because they're oblivious to their surroundings they got their face buried in the camera I'm not telling you what to do but a bear that can mauled you to death and then start eating you or a Bigfoot that can rip you in two with it's bare hands I would be carrying a weapon and powerful one that could drop an elephant if needed to be better safe than sorry

[@thehoggattproject]

Hey, thanks for replying. The red filter (as well as the other ones) were experimental and just a way for me to try different color grades in post. I'm a big believer in doing whatever makes you happy or keep doing what it is you do. I tried lightening the image in post but it was super noisy/grainy do that was the happy medium of brightness vs noise I found. As far as protection goes... yes I try to stay as safe as possible out there in the wild. When I first started filming (even sometimes now) it is very distracting and pulls you away from your surroundings if you're not careful. Not just worrisome for bears, but also cliffs and twisting an ankle. What I saw that day didn't look like a bear, and initially before I saw anything I was expecting to see a deer. So I had no Bigfoot bias before seeing it. If it were a bear I don't know why it would be walking gingerly upright with broad shoulders, no neck and its arms out from its side... Anyway, was glad to have witnessed what I saw and glad it didn't scare me from ever going back. I tried pointing the camera in the direction I saw it and is also why I went back to further investigate to prove to myself it was real. I plan to get back out there soon so hopefully I can get another chance at capturing something good...
