Being Circled By Bigfoot? Testing Grounds Overnight Adventure

As Luke the Lone Wolf prepares for the evening in the vast forest of Pisgah, he is alerted to the presence of something walking in the woods around his camp.
As the sun goes down, whatever it is continues to stomp in the leaves as it circles his camp....

Over 100 native American tribes had verbal history on "sasquatch" going back thousands of years to the beginning. Long before the European folks ever came to America. The vast majority of native American people then and now see telling a lie as a great dishonor . let's just say "there is iron in there words of life" to discount all that plus all modern sightings, foot prints, hair , scat , other dna , pics, videos, the fact that the powers that be have resently admitted ufo's are real , probably won't be long until they fess up on all they know about sasquatch. to discount all that is like sticking ones head in the sand. No sir! I have seen one on a camping trip outside of Colfax ca. They are very much real.

I live in northern Arkansas about 12 miles south of the Missouri border. I love to hunt and fish well I got permission to hunt 250 acres next to the white River and it hasn't been hunted in 20 years. The land belongs to my buddies great uncle and his uncle lives in England and he gave me written permission to hunt there. Long story short my first deer hunting trip there I saw something that blew my mind it was about an 8' tall harry creature that I'd only seen documentaries about. The sun was just coming up and I had looked up the hill I was sitting on and I saw what I thought was another hunter but was to big to be a hunter. It got behind a big oak tree like it was gonna hide from me, I pulled up my 300 WM looked through my scope and that's when I saw it looking around the tree at me. It was acting curious and not threatening. I've had several encounters with it and when we bump in to each other it will usually go the other way but it will follow me as I'm leaving the woods and I don't get out of my deer stand until it's dark. It's crazy but I think it understands that I'm only there to put meat in my freezer and I'm not there to hunt it or bother it. I was in the Army for 23 years with multiple deployments to Afghanistan and Iraq and have no reason to take a life except to fill my freezer or to protect my family and friends. I'm not scared of it it's just trying to survive in a in an evermore shrinking world filled with hate. I've talked to my buddies great uncle about purchasing the 250 acres and my experiences I've had there and he said he told me that he had the same thing happened to him and he would be more than happy to sell it to me. Well I'm gonna keep it like it is and only use it to keep my freezer full and for what ever else calls that stretch of land home can stay there safe and sound. Sorry for such a long post. Keep your reviews coming they have helped me from making a bad choice.

I live in Northwestern BC. My Dad has come across something bipedal and huge with a greying hairy back moving into the trees alongaide a trail he had just turned a corner on. Also this summer (2021) me and my dad were camping on the local river, fishing and just at nightfall, way down the shore a pair of either black clad campers dressed in identical tracksuits both with their hoods up, were walking from the rivers edge into the bushes. Or who knows what they were. There should not have been anybody else on the beach. And why would they be dressed in all black. They could really have been a female Sasquatch and her young child. Also I'm vaccinated. First shot was very sore around the shot site. Second dose I felt odd, warm in the joints, oddly relaxed, almost sick feeling and lethargic. It passed in a day. Its been two months from my last dose (both moderna) and Ive had no noticeable side effects.

[@climatepurification]

My experience: Back in the late 90s before I joined the service I was working a diner type job that usually required me to be a closer as everybody hated late night cleanup. It was spring time in the Black Hills, I had to drive about 12 miles to get home. Stayed later than usual cleaning up the restaurant that night. Nobody on the roads really as I drove out of town into the hills. I liked driving at night with the windows down, no radio, air was a comfortable temp, it was close to a full moon so in the hills the moonlight was pretty strong letting you see most things clearly. The highway was one lane each way winding through the mountains to an elevation of about 4500 feet. Some country style houses with roughly 1-2 acres of yard for each. You could see anything in the open clearings outside of the pine trees with the moonlight. Had some experiences of unusual things as a kid but this was a first as I was older. Drove a lifted old ford pickup that stood about 7ft to the top of the cab, my eye level about 6'5 while sitting inside. Was about 4 miles from my destination and had just passed some houses then started coming up on a small restaurant on the left. The highway opened up to allow for a left turning lane. I was about 200 ft from the turn and started to see a dark object standing in the turn lane. Caught me off guard, I had felt things watching me in the woods before but never anything substantial. As I drove up on it going about 55-60 mph, I was squinting to figure out what it was. Happened almost as if in slow motion, covering the 200ft felt like a moment stopped in time as I realized the figure was as tall as the cab of the truck, with a long arm stretched out as if to try to touch my elbow as I had it resting out the truck window. It was at least 7ft, dark like a shadow, almost half in, half out of this reality, felt feminine, definitely not trying to scare or harm me, absolutely wanted to make contact. I don't scare easy but I can feel when "unique" things are near my presence. Every hair on my body was standing up, my adrenaline had shot through the roof, eyes wide open, mumbling to myself as I kept driving, almost drove through the next turn, felt an absolute electrical charge pulsating throughout my body, my body/energy was in shock from feeling something never experienced before. I was young so it scared me but now older, I see it was being friendly to me. Some are meant to see, some are not but you have to have a good heart/energy for them to want you to know. I served 15 years after, seen two hostile fire combat deployments, held a security clearance that required a polygraph and been exposed to many classified projects. What I wrote here is true. I've worked alongside men whom killed for a living, each of us have unexplainable stories so to those of you in the civilian world, do not discredit something because it gives you fear. Temper your fear and experience something beyond a closed mind, we exist on this planet together. Death is watching you the moment you're born into the world.

They are in the Black Hills yes! I live in a big city in Texas. My father retired in 1995 and moved to Deadwood, SD then later to Lead. He lived up in the hills not in town. In 2004 I was visiting. Long story short. A creature at least 8,9 feet tall came up to the 2nd story window where I was asleep. This was at 2am. The creature did the what they call the Samurai gibberish talk in my window as it was open to allow the cool air in during the summer months. That was the scariest moment of my life.

I've been in the woods doing lot of deer & squirrel hunting over the years and have never seen anything but 1 night at my deer camp after my fire was almost out, I crawled into my tent, 30 minutes later the fire had gone out and something that sounded like it was walking on 2 feet walked into my camp. I just listened trying to judge how close to the tent it was then it growled a low long-winded growl. I pulled my 9mm with its Surefire Light from its holster that was laying on the floor beside my sleeping bag and raised up unzipping out of the sleeping bag. I just sat there for about 30-45 minutes listening in the direction the footsteps and growl had come, it didn't move or growl again. As I sat there, I thought I'm not going to be able to go to sleep with whatever it is out there hanging out and it made me mad because I had a long day and I was tired so that's when I slowly unzipped the tent door turned the safety off and jumped out of the tent switching on the Light making sweeps to clear the area of interest and there was nothing. I was really shocked, I thought I'm missing it, something has got to be somewhere, I heard it and it never left, where is it, then a chill went thru me, I started searching up and around the trees and nothing, it's like it just disappeared, vanished into thin air like it was never there and I know for a fact I heard what I heard so, I take a Thermal Imager Scope with me now but it hasn't happened again.

Beautiful animal.

[@kaikart123]

No, they don't walk with one front leg and one back leg landing at the same time, they walk with only one leg at a time so they sound bipedal.

I grew up in the Adirondack mountains of upstate New York. From my father's farm if you headed west across the pasture into the forest you could walk 100 miles and only cross 2 roads. When I was 16 my best friend and I took our rifles and back packs and went out for 2 weeks. About 20 miles or so into the forest we found this little pond with fish. Our second day staying by this pond we found footprints. They were about 15 inches long and 8 inches wide at the ball of the foot. We followed them for over a mile. They went around the back side of this pond and followed a stream. That night we heard screams...ended up spending the night 30 foot up in a big old oak tree. The next morning we left that aria and we never went that far out again.

I had one of these things rum in front of my car with a passenger traveling with me. I wasn’t going to admit I saw it until he asked me. It was skinny and not huge. I suspect a juvenile. But it was covered in hair, bipedal and ran without a bounding, up and down gait. It fast walked with incredible speed in a motion akin to alpine skiing without bending its knees much and its arms were disproportionately long. It was across the highway in two seconds. If you blinked you would have missed it. My passenger said after a moment of silence, “Did we just see a Bigfoot?” His words, not mine. I was not about to stop the car to check. I’ve been in the outdoors for 40+ years. I’ve not had another experience like it. I didn’t believe in these beings until I saw what we saw. We were driving in a remote area in the dark. The only light came from my head lights. Also a person in a suit could not have moved as quickly as it did in the dark. It literally disappeared into the woods heading away from water disappearing into the brush. Seeing is believing. Lots of people have seen it. My Grandmother lived off 276, Pigeon St. I know the area well. Beautiful country. I fish the Big West Fork of the Pigeon River and the Davidson River. Sliding Rock is amazing. Like many of N. Carolina lineage, I am Scotch Irish and Cherokee. I know black bear and have seen them live many times. They can stand and walk for a short distance but only run on al fours. They don’t run standing up. You can also hear when an animal is walking on all fours versus two feet. It could have been a person stalking you. That’s possible, but you would have had a sense if it was moving on four legs like a deer or bear if it was circling you. A bear also doesn’t do that. If a bear wanted your food it would have come to your campsite and sniffed around. Why you tie up your food or lock it in those metal containers the rangers provide. If you don’t know better it could have been a herd of deer in the dark. That sound can seem like you’re being circled if you haven’t had the experience, but you seem like you camp a lot. Go ask First Nation People about the topic. Their connection to nature is undeniably strong. Most Europeans from W. North Carolina have some degree of Cherokee lineage... But go to the Reservation near Straight Fork and the National Park and ask around if it is real. Sorry about your uncle. My Dad went that way. Hard to watch. Nature heals. God bless.

Really great video, can’t wait to get back into the woods once the heat here dies down. On the contrary to your point that there are too many humans for Bigfoot not to have been discovered, there have been countless records of sightings and encounters all over the world, current and those that date back to when Native Americans more freely inhabited the land. Gorillas were at first considered to be a myth until they were officially discovered. 😉

Not to mention just how profoundly vast and remote much of the North American wilderness is. Most people from cities or populated areas simply can't comprehend it. Where would they hide? *SO MANY* places. Yet, there are sightings all the time, along with plenty of video recordings that, admittedly, leave much to be desired. But to anyone saying "Well why hasn't anyone found one or photographed one?", I sincerely believe that they haven't spent more than 20 minutes of their entire lives looking at the evidence that's already out there. It's really east to dismiss. I did for years and years. Now, thanks to the internet, I think there's a really good chance they're out there. One of the best bigfoot videos I've ever seen only had 3k views in 10 years. Only video on the channel. 1 Subscriber. Would've had to be a *master* of costume making or CGI...for a video with hardly any views, no promotional stuff, no money made, and literally 2 seconds of shaky film that you have to painstakingly pause *every frame* at x0.25 speed to see the blurred detail of. I'd bet money that *the person who took the video* didn't even realize just how much detail it actually contains. You'd need to put it on a large screen and go frame by frame and back and forth, which most people are too lazy to do, because it's legitimately a hassle. You can see it lock eyes with the camera, change facial expressions, furrowing it's brow, scowl, make that apelike rounding of the lips, the whole deal, all in just 2 seconds of terrible shaky quality that looks like nothing when played at full speed. The only description was "Bigfoot caught on camera during hunting trip in Western Mass 2011", and it was 30 seconds long. All I'm saying is that hardly anyone is even looking for these videos or the evidence that's out there, and most of the ones who are never even came across it. The video for anyone interested: kzbin.info/www/bejne/e4bPpoGFlJeNbcU Bigfoot at around 12-15 seconds Again, I'd bet money most would watch this and laugh at me. I can guarantee they didn't spend the time I did going through it with a fine tooth comb on a huge computer monitor. If you don't pause EVERY FRAME while it's in view, it looks like utter crap. It just goes to show how difficult it is to video these animals. Poor lighting, deep woods, shaky amateur taking the video on a crappy camera, and an intelligent, skilled animal that's a master of its environment who plays hide and seek in the woods for a living. And then there's the fact that hardly anyone's seen it, not to mention blow it up and go frame by frame...it's no wonder people laugh at the prospect of bigfoot. If anyone actually manages to see the small details of the changes in facial expression I observed, *tell me this random no name dude faked that for 3 seconds of blurry shaky footage that he randomly posted to KZbin and promptly forgot about* ...because THAT would make ME laugh.

I used to live out in the PNW as a kid, the woods there are so vast its certainly believable that there's something out there.

Could quite possibly have been the local drug farmers, but could have been something else entirely.

[@y_i_fly5418]

Great video on the gear reviews. Really interested in the tent and the cookware set. Just bought a similar cookware set earlier today just to keep in the truck, something that doesn’t take a lot of space. Speaking of Bigfoot, I grew up in Washington State. Since I was young there were reports of all kinds of wildlife, from bears to cougars, moose to yes Bigfoot. Our neighborhood in Alderwood Manor, Washington was a lot less crowded than it’s current state, now filled with old homes from the early nineteen hundreds, like ours built in 1919 as part of an experimental farm, to others that were at the time swanky fifties playboy styled family homes to the odd and even cookie cutter homes. The developer went crazy. Waterways and even a pond were moved by city planners and engineers. At the time right around the early eighties things started to get unusually weird. Local farms and ranches were either raided for chicken and duck eggs, pigs and hogs stolen to horses being harassed. We use to have a horse pasture right across the street and behind a few homes, one belonging to one of my best friends parents. One night about 1:30 in the morning there was a very loud commotion going on. The horses, about four of them, were making a lot of noise. Everything from loud screaming, groaning, squealing and neighing. I woke up to the loud screeching of tires locked up from an eighteen wheeler trying to stop and a horse being hit because you could literally hear it’s air being pushed out of its lungs after the strike. My friend’s parents homes backyard security floodlights clicked on, these things were extremely bright. My friends dad said he seen one the horses standing in attack mode with its front legs getting ready to strike at something. What ever that horse was fighting literally caught that horse in mid strike and throw that two thousand pound animal onto its back. All the horses got out by jumping a five and half foot barbed wire fence with an electric fence suspended about a few feet from the fence that surrounded that pasture. One of our neighbors 350 pound hogs were stolen, the pens gate was shut and padlocked. About a month later one of his son’s was goofing around next the the tree line of some woods. He found the dead hog completely opened up with fly’s and maggots all over it. Something huge jumped down from a tall tree and landed hard behind some bushes. It quickly reached out grabbed his Village People Indian shirt and all he could do was run tearing that shirt right off of him. That boy came running back completely out of breath and hysterics, we couldn’t understand what he was saying until his mother got him to calm down. There’s been occasions where our neighbors garden was raided and vegetables stolen. Our neighbor caught what he assumed was a bear, he didn’t see it standing up. It ran quickly on all fours into the woods as he shot rock-salt from a shotgun. He said for a bear it had extremely wide shoulders. One day my father and I were working on the roof of our house. As we we’re taking a short break something caught my eye. This creature was squatted down, it’s back was towards us as it was raiding our neighbor’s garden again. I pointed it out to my dad and asked him. “What’s that?” This thing then slowly stood up and was almost nine feet tall, long reddish auburn hair covered it from head to to toe. It not only was tall but very lanky and thin like a basketball player. It’s face kind of looked like an orangutan from the eyes up, it was pursing it’s lips, exactly as primates would do in order for them to appear bigger and more impressive. It had a flat human like nose close to that of a Native American. It cradled it’s bounty and started walking off, at first it took three steps, turned back around in our direction, turned around started walking again. This thing did this three times before it reached the woods and took off into the tree line, shortly after that we heard a vocalization from it I turned to my dad and asked. “What the hell was that?” He turned and looked at me after seeing this thing in almost total disbelief and said. “I saw nothing as as far as you know you didn’t either.” So to say that these things don’t exist doesn’t mean that they do because people have had these creatures cross their path. I never seen a UFO or as they’re now being coined as UAP’s, I don’t believe in those because I never experienced one but other people may have. I’m not trying to tell you off just giving you what I’ve experienced. To know that something truly exists is to go through an experience and witness these incredible, very intelligent animals or some people even call them beings. Who really knows until someone comes up with a body but then only time will tell.

Scott I live by the coast of WA, and have met many people who have seen a Sasquatch. One friend told me he had seen a WHITE Sasquatch when he was walking home late one night. What you should do is to look up Sasquatch Chronicles, and listen to some of the peoples sightings. There are hundreds of people on there telling their story. Some may not be true, but I believe most of them. Some of them almost relive it when talking about what happened, and some of them worked for the government!
