      @BlueMoon-s3s I do love that piece, but my name is Frank, NOT BIGFOOT!. I wish people would stop calling me that. I'm sensitive about my feet. I was once told I have feet like a human, and it's bothered me ever since. I've tried making them smaller, even covering them up with leaves and the latest rabbit furs, but nothing helps. You think it's easy being me, "BIGFOOT?". Well it's not. Please just respect me and my family's privacy. Also, I too was a Diddy victim, back when I was trying to break into the music industry. I need a good lawyer, so if anyone knows one HMU. OK, FRANK, not bigfoot, remember, is outta here. Peace my nig

    I’ve spent many nights on the Appalachian trail, have met many people out there. P.S.

    • @coleswanger
      @coleswanger Месяц назад

      Trust me it went through our minds to at first. But there was no one on the other side of the ridge as all the roads leading up to the mountain were gated off, no cars parked at them, we saw no one up there when we hiked 1.5 miles up and then another 3 miles across the ridge, and no cars at the privately owned cabins for the two days we were camped at one of the most remote campsites in the park as we looked multiple times. And they never came back to their camp or cabin for the rest of the night with only one road in and out so that wouldn’t make sense. I think they were out there because they know it’s a hotspot for people to investigate and wanted to mess with anyone they found as they knew exactly where to go as it’s not obvious when you’re driving back through the forest in the dark. Good news is they failed. Thanks for the comment and watch!

      Appreciate the watch and feedback! You’re right that we don’t know how they might interpret our interactions but if I’ve taken anything anything away from countless stories and our time out there is that intention is just as much of a factor and I think they can pick up on that too. We approached this with curiosity and respect vs. fear and provocation and I think is a lesson for how to interact with them. I also agree that many people have encounters doing the mundane out there in the forest but us chopping wood, cooking up MRE’s, pitching tents and hammocks, etc. don’t make the most compelling videos to watch and we tried to have some fun with this too. We learned a lot from this experience and plan to do a night hike next time so stay tuned!

    Bigfoot absolutely exists in Pennsylvania. There’s more than enough habitat to support a population and enough reports to substantiate the phenomenon. Almost every county in the state has had reported encounters and We’ve spoken to witnesses that have had encounters in Central PA recently. Tuscarora State Forest is a good place to start. Also, Michaux State Forest is a good place to investigate in the area. There have been a handfu of accounts out of Michaux.

    • @coleswanger
      @coleswanger Месяц назад +4

      Without a doubt and Pennsylvania is a hotbed for high strangeness and cryptids. Agree that Michaux seems to have an unusual amount of reports and very strange ones at that and I think is going to be our next investigation spot in the future as we both agree we aren’t done and WILL be doing again. Highly encourage you to check out the Strange Familiars podcast hosted by Timothy Renner as well as his books particularly “Where the Footprint Ends” as he is helping to tell the untold stories of high strangeness i.e. strange lights, disappearing footprints, mind speak, UFO sightings before and after, etc. that goes along with Bigfoot that is absolutely glossed over by the community that needs to be acknowledged as much as the physical evidence and really doing some unique research on the phenomena that isn’t a retread of the same old investigative techniques that have only yielded the same results for years and nothing new. Thanks for the watch, comment, and awesome channel as well!

      @ I’m very familiar with Timothy Renner. He does great work in the paranormal field. A lot of interesting research that raises questions about the nature of beings. I believe there’s another component to these cryptids aside from just being flesh and blood. I believe they operate on a higher frequency than us and have inter dimensional capabilities, along with the other facets of high strangeness that you mentioned.

      We are in essence performing a “ritual” using wood, music, and repetition to initiate contact with a cryptid that to some (even the Native peoples) is a supernatural entity that many eyewitness accounts have spotted in tandem with weird balls of light, have disappeared in front of people and footprints that stop and disappear in the middle of fields, have reportedly engaged in mind speak, etc. I see you follow Strange Familiars so this concept should be very “familiar” (pun intended 😂) to you.

    I’m a ghost hunter, not really into Bigfoot, so it’s not something I give much thought to. But I did spot some questionable footprints in the snow around Kempton, PA, near Hawk Mountain, more specifically by New Bethel Church, on the side of the hill by the cemetery.

    • @coleswanger
      @coleswanger Месяц назад +1

      Awesome channel and look to be a Berks County native like myself! A lot of great places to investigate around Berks as your channel perfectly highlights. To me it’s all the same thing (ghosts, Bigfoot, fairies) and was given this extremely thoughtful way of looking at Bigfoot in particular vs. ghosts. Both leave footprints that seemingly disappear with investigators back in the day using powder to look for ghostly footprints, both make knocking sounds and aren’t seen doing, both exhibit supernatural qualities like balls of light as many eyewitness accounts have told of with Bigfoot sightings, been captured on audio when no one was around, etc. As a fellow “weirdo” something I’m proud to be called I would highly recommend the podcast Strange Familiars with Timothy Renner who is an awesome podcaster, artist, musician, and does deep dives into all things paranormal and cryptic in Berks, Lancaster, and York counties I think you would dig. In regards to the footprints around New Bethel and Hawk Mountains it doesn’t surprise me with Bigfoot sightings out there and around cemeteries which you don’t often hear about, a 10 ft. Lenape Indian stated to stalk the woods protecting a magic circle, large white ghost bird, and dark entity haunting the Schaumboch Tavern once ran by an alleged serial murderer. If you ever want to collaborate hit me up and stay curious man!

      If you think so, then you haven't looked deeply enough into the subject & the research efforts that have taken place.
      Just in 2021, Dr. Mireya Mayor collected an eDNA sample from the soil beneath a large teepee-shaped tree structure lshe had come across deep in a remote, forested location in rural Kentucky.
      She had DNA analysis testing done on the sample by a lab, & it returned THOUSANDS of hits for chimpanzee genome markers.
      That doesn't necessarily mean that escaped chimps are running around the forests of Kentucky. But, it could support the existence of an undiscovered primate that's closely related to them.

      As good a theory as any. And until they find a body or capture one alive we won’t know for sure. All I do know is that along with all the activity of a flesh and blood creature i.e. footprints, hair, etc. there is an equal amount of weird that gets reported and often under reported according to ex-BFRO researchers associated with Bigfoot like balls of light, disappearing footprints, disappearing creatures, UFO’s reported before and after Bigfoot sightings, and much more that also has to be acknowledged.

    I’m not claiming to know much about these beings. I understand they are around. Very intelligent. They were watching you guys and probably closure than you think. One thing that is a factor in them keeping absolutely still and or non confrontational is the fact that when cameras and lights are on and running live…well…they absolutely do not want to be captured on video or film. Humans need to stop thinking of them as these “hills have eyes” beastly types. They are far more advanced than given credit. I would just be careful with what you try calling out for. There are much more nefarious “things” out living in those areas. But good attempt. Try again

      Thanks for the watch and comment! 💯 agree that they appear to not want to be captured on video and that there are is far more success in capturing audio only, however, that doesn’t make for compelling viewing to listen to audio only on a RUclips video so we attempted to find a happy middle ground with both. I also agree that they are very intelligent and why they’ve managed so successfully to stay hidden with nary a body found or clear video taken since the Gimlin-Patterson film and why our attempts were geared toward communication and curiosity vs. provocation and fear. I also am a believer in the existence of “other” things in the woods I’d rather not encounter and why we chose to investigate as a team vs. alone, took precautions, and stayed close to camp. We will definitely be trying again and learned a lot from this experience that we hope to bring to the next one and appreciate feedback like yours! Stay tuned.
