I'm open minded about it. My dad swore, till his dying day, that he saw a Bigfoot in Michigan's UP. Early 1980s, just out deer hunting during archery season, he saw it and never hunted in the UP again. He never told that story to anyone outside the family. Even then they gave him a lot of shit about it. But he never changed the story. He would talk about it now and then, but never ever where anyone not related could catch a whisper of it. Remembering that far away look in his eyes when he'd retell it, I've stayed open to it.

[@elleshiz8146]

Dude you just gave me the chills

[@cassidymcpherson1990]

Just a theory, but what if the sound of the trees falling around him were the creature jumping from treetop to treetop? Reasons for this thinking: 1) He couldn't see it, but it could keep an eye on him to get him down the mountain. 2) The creature is very large, and if it was jumping from tree to tree, the trees would, probably, come crashing down afterward. 3) The deer he saw looked behind him and up, meaning it could've been in the tops of the trees or something similar. 4) If there were, at least, 2 of them, on either side of him, them jumping from tree to tree would cause the succession of the trees falling on both sides of him as they herded him down the mountain to keep him out of their territory.

[@cameronmimnagh4395]

I was thinking this too. It makes total sense with the information we have

[@suonatar1]

This is interesting, could be even true. I was thinking that the deer raised its head, because it sniffed, rather than saw, a probably-big-foot behind Jeff.

[@TheEncouragementKid]

@@suonatar1 good point!

[@peekachugaming3231]

As they were quite opposite it also could be he jumping from the first tree where nothing happened, landing on the second one, which causes it to fall, he uses the swing and jumps midway to another tree, keeping momentum and continuing repeatedly, resulting in a zig-zag form.

[@peekachugaming3231]

@@suonatar1 In my opinion the deer would have just run off seeing him, if it was startled like that when he wasn't far away and it didnt noticed him grassing it would have just ran off seeing a human. But if theres another person or creature, or possible a deer-friend aswell, he probably would give it a look, his survival instincts are already kicking anyway and he wants to just piss of but he might also wanna know if the other object in his FoV is a mate or something for call out too or warn.

I believe in big foot. Because, I've seen such things in my home village. I'm from Papua New Guinea in the Pacific. We normally don't have big foot, but we surely have giants the same height and stature as big foot. They are not hairy, and also have small heads and big muscles.But how Americans tell their stories of the behavior of the sasquatch, is exactly similar to our giants. Our furless giants wear leaves as clothing. We know their habitats so we don't wander into their territory. Long ago, our elders put up signs or grow a type of tree to mark the no go zones when hunting in the jungle, your park rangers should do the same, so that no one gets hurt. The Bigfoots that you see are actually their border patrol soldiers, looking after their borders. They have a whole community hidden deep in the forest. So when you cross their borders, they'll try to scare you off, and escort you out of their territory. Mind you, if they want you dead, you'll be dead.

I was raised in TN. When I was 8 years old, my Mother, Uncle and I were driving home. We came down a hill and around a curve. There in the road stood two creatures. They looked over their shoulders at us. Their eyes were red in the headlights. They turned and started to run. My Uncle sped up. It was like Slow Motion to me! You could see the bottoms of their feet and the dust that came up with each step! Their hair flowed almost like a horse's mane! Up and down on their bodies. There was NO odor! They were glossy, the hair wasn't matted. This chase didn't last long! The road split. One went up a small hill, towards our house and the other went towards the old Dawn Cemetery. The bottom road, towards the Cemetery, had a bank on it and they went down that road, maybe 20 to 25 feet, and jumped up the bank and were gone into the woods! They had chestnut colored hair. One was larger, and darker than the other one. I have always felt like if I were hypnotized, and had someone who could DRAW what I described, it would be amazing. I'm 70 now. My Mother told my oldest Sister about it. She's 77. I don't really care if anyone believes me. GOD knows what we saw, and we do. I'm okay with that. But it was amazing, and I'll never forget it.

I am completely open to the idea of Sasquatch. Some of these stories are fantastic, but definitely within the realm of possibility. The film from which MR BALLEN gets his background has always fascinated me. A costume of the type necessary for the creature in that film, was not possible to make in 1967.

[@hansangb]

It seems like it would be IMPOSSIBLE for bigfoot to have evaded detection for so long. But if you've ever trained in Ft. Lewis, you'll quickly realize that within 20 minutes of Tacoma, lies wilderness where you wonder if another foot has ever set foot. The 6-10 foot ant mounds to triple canopy. So after having been in that forest, yeah, I do believe something like big foot could evade detection.

[@robertprice9052]

In 1989 I was training with Army Special Forces in Cascade Idaho. Myself and a friend were sitting on an outcropping looking across to another mountain ridge. I used a set of binoculars and my friend used a scope on his rifle to watch "something" walking around on another side of the mountain. It was far enough away we could tell it was "humanlike" but not human. It walked upright and seemed to be very large. It did not know we were watching and it lasted about 6 or 7 minutes. I am a believer. It was real.

I didn't tell my encounter to anyone in about 20 years I got tired of the smirking. I'll share here. I'm 43 and this happened when I was 19 or 20. I live in Central Pennsylvania in a small town surrounded by woods. A few friends and I got some weed and beer and went to an overlook in the woods that was above a big lake. Closest home is maybe 3 or 4 miles away. We were hanging out listening to music and we started to hear what sounded like someone hitting a tree with a bat, but loud similar to a gun shot in the distance. To me it sounded exactly like batting practice in a MLB stadium. Over the next hour the cracks were happening once every few minutes but getting louder and sounding closer until one sounded like it came from the road we came in on. We turned the music off and the girls got back into my vehicle scared. Then another crack right in the tree line about 15 feet in front of us. This scared all of us and we all got into my truck. The girls yelling for me to go and I hesitated but then turned my headlights on and turned onto the road and when my lights shined into the trees we saw this huge shadow. You couldn't see details just a huge black mass. I slammed on the brakes and everyone was screaming and were like did you see that?I backed up and it was gone. The next day a friend that was with me and I went out during the day to look for tracks or something. For miles in the woods the trees were bent as if something walked in between and bent them down. They were bent similar to an ice storm but bent away from each other. No tracks just bent trees. A few days later I biked out to that spot on my mountain bike because I couldn't make sense of it. I made it to the overlook and everything was normal even noticed the trees stood back up so no evidence of the encounter at all. I'm on my way back going down the mountain on the one side of the lake and I heard this commotion in the woods and when I looked this huge maple tree was shaking. This tree was big enough that I couldn't move the tree if I tried. I would say 50 year old tree. I thought is this tree falling?and then a huge dead log comes flying at me from the maple tree. It landed a few feet short, the hair stood up on my body and I took off. When I calmed down I drove out with my gun and looked at the tree. I couldn't move it it was that heavy I'll estimate 600 to 700 pounds because I couldn't even roll it. I never actually saw what it was but I can't think of anything else it could have been.

Judging by how many uncharted caves and springs are out there from watching caving videos, it's possible a small number of a forgotten species lives out there in the boonies of the Midwest and Siberia. When an animal dies in the woods, the remains are scattered, and there is nothing left. Even the bones are eaten unless buried in a mud slide. Deer have been known to scavenge carrion. A lot of those cases are probably bear and a wild imagination, but I guess we won't know until we have a live one and can know for sure it's not just a feral person. If they do exist, they should be protected.

Knocking over trees is a display of strength and intimidation seen by apes, most famously gorillas.

@@amethyst1826 You are saying some human had sex with a gorilla and the offspring was healthy? That is not hard to believe because some people like beastiality but extremely foul.

@FatalPies So aliens genetically engineered this massive ape like creature? Now before you say, “who is this guy”. Say what you are going to say.

I know it's a guess but just saying that it's Oregon. There aren't any type of apes. Just saying but good guess.

Under rated best thing about ballen is that he only puts ads at the end of the video. Just for that consideration, I actually watch ads on his videos.

[@davidroesing]

The Son of GOD was afflicted by GOD because of your sins, he carried your sins, died on the cross and rose again on the third day. If you believe in Him and in His sacrifice you will obtain the forgiveness of sins and the promise of eternal life, you will be made new by The SPIRIT of GOD. “And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst.” - John 6:35

I like to question everything and I believe this man. I've been rummaging around our woods here in rural Iowa I've gotten the feeling that something's watching me. I'm really into Bushcraft so I go to some remote areas so I can find cordage and natural habitats to build lean twos and a frames wigwams trying to get practice. I've never seen anything but have definitely felt a couple funny feelings.
