    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!

Some of the guys wouldn't even go in a certain area because there was something in there. Long story short they didn't touch that area and he thought it was a big foot trying to stop them from tearing up his home. Great story Chris! Thanks to you and bill.

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.

The Sasquatch didn't just move a couple of logs it dragged him out of the log pile after moving the logs off him. Then he also said he told the guy he didn't see the Sasquatch to protect it..

    Bill didn't try to steal the Sasquatch's deer that was in the tree. The loggers shot it and were going to take it. Did the Sasquatch show, through his rescue of Bill, his appreciation for that? That would really suggest even more cognition on the part of the Sasquatch. We know from other stories that Chris has told that those who offer food (fruit, etc) to them, get treated better by the Sasquatches.

      THEY didn’t feel safe, so did not think it safe for a seventeen year old kid to be out there alone, even though he was armed.
      I think the Sasquatch broke the trees holding the logs in place and felt bad that the young fella was helpless and seriously injured, so he helped him by taking the logs off him.
      I think the loggers saw the Sasquatch when they came out to look for him, took off and then came back for him.

    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 . When it starts I simply say In the Mighty name of Jesus Christ I command all evil to go straight to the feet of Jesus Amen. Evil has to leave when you take your God given authority over it .

      I grew up in Benton, Saline County, and we spent much of the summers in Hot Springs at one lake or another. I never heard any tales of Sasquatch until the Fouke Monster dominated the news in the summer of 1972(?).
      But although we never saw or heard anything, we all talked about "the thing that lives in woods." It was a feeling and we all had it. We were kids, easily spooked.

    What an amazing story!!! It has to be right up there with one of the best. How scared this guy must have been but realized that sasquatch didn't harm him. I've always had this picture in my mind that sasquatch was not violent in the way that they would seek people out and kill them but yet they would be extremely intimidating. I enjoyed this immensely . Life has many mysteries and this is one of them. I wonder how many people that have encountered sasquatch and has never told anyone for fear of them being labeled cuckoo. Thank you for sharing this!! Stay safe out there Chris!!!!

    I have heard over a dozen rescue stories of Sasquatch, often it is children that have wandered away from a forest camp and got lost and a usually female Sasqautch brings them back to just outside the camp, makes some noise and leaves the child. I am so glad that you let Bill tell his story, much more detail and one gets a good dose of his emotion over the ordeal, even over 45 years later. This is why I am a fan of the Sasqautch Chronicles which is now over 1000 episodes of interviews. I have come across a few sites where a narrator states the story like reading a book. A good many are so fantastical and written as if by a polished author writing a book, I know damn well they are made up stories, and this is a shame. It does this community no good.
    It's too bad this incident created PTSD with Bill and I feel for him. I myself being 20 in 1976 and an outdoorsman and hunter in Mid Michigan, we never heard of Sasquatch in our areas, only that they may be in the Pacific NW, thanks to Roger Patterson and Bob Gimlin. However I respect and like that he would like to get close again to one and try and interact. I too have this wish, as the one I saw was just too far away, and same year 1976, Roscommon County, MI. In my mind I have no doubt this group of Sasquatch would have soon gotten the trees off Bill. And one would probably have carried him down to the loggers, made some kind of noise and left him for the crew to take care of. Or just left him on the road, staying close, knowing the crew would be by on their way out, but thank God the crew came soon so the rescue and life saving could happen. And Bill - I know the area you grew up. I lived on Alexis Road in 1980 and 81 by the Sherman Williams store, which was a house at that time.

Smart, stoic, fearless, and a really, really funny sense of humor. Big dog. One time, a friend of mine who was like 6'6'' was sitting at the kitchen table, she was sleeping on his feet. She saw something outside raised up and barked, he peed his pants! I was mortified, but he took it in stride. Laughed it off. He was like, ''I am really glad your dog likes me so well''. He said he felt better, that he knew I traveled allot and we lived in the country. He knew she had the security locked down when I was gone. Anyway, Mena, yeah, nice place. Rest in peace my both my friends and the one's grand ma.

      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.

      Maybe, the Sasquatch felt threatened by the loggers invading his territory...

Well one evening on the Eagle Rock loop in the fall, we were day 3 of our 5 day hike and had some eerie stuff happen. I was in a pup tent and my buddy was in an Eno hammock. Well about 2 am we had pine cones thrown at us for a good 20 minutes. Don’t know if it was people or what. But I will say with confidence, they were thrown from the darkness at us. We didn’t get much sleep that evening and cut the trip short. Not going to guess what threw them because we didn’t see anything; but geez, we were many miles from civilization.

I’ve heard the recording of the Sierra sounds with the Sasquatch communications it’s crazy sounding, but it’s communication for them! So it must have been big daddy lifting the log off of you!and maybe mom and a juvenile in tow! I truly believe these creatures exist but they are so super intelligent not to get caught! Prolly the same way we earthlings feel about aliens from other planets and what they could possibly do to us if caught! I don’t know, but I wish I would see one! Be safe out there. ❤
