I had a close encounter with a Sasquatch on May 28,2010…7:10pm in the Allegheny National Forest here in PA. The sound this thing was making, approximately 30 yards away can only be described as a “roar”….I describe it as the sound that the T-Rex in Jurassic was making when chasing the vehicle. I could feel the bass reverberating in my chest and head. I have absolutely nothing to gain by writing this, I’m not exaggerating, I remember it like it happened yesterday. It’s not a question of “if” they exist, it’s now “what exactly are we dealing with”…..! I am one of thousands and thousands that have had an encounter, they are 100% real.
I don't know what to make of your story. Thanks for sharing. I have spent weeks in ANF. I have hiked the 100 mile NCST twice and spent many nights wild camping. Done Minister Creek, Morrison, Tracy Run, Rimrock. It's basically my favorite place on Earth. I've seen many black bears which always ran from me. I always had at least 1 working-line German Shepherd with me. About 1 am one night camped on the plateau above the Minister Valley I heard what sounded like a club being whacked against a tree trunk. My dogs alerted too. I estimated the sounds coming from about 1/4 mile away. I figured it was a prankster from the campground located next to Rt. 666. I went back to sleep, but I've never forgotten.
@@jeffreymcmillan7703 I go overlanding in anf every weekend and hiking. I live close so it's easy and I don't always camp. One night we were camping in a remote site. And I kept hearing heavy twig snaps. I had no visual so no clue what it was. It sounded heavy and close. And kept reoccurring to the point where I pulled my firearm out
I'm thinking that they are migratory in Michaux area. In warmer weather there is an abundance of deer , especially along Rt. 233. Many deer are hit by cars along that Route. And then nearby there is the orchards and farms . Quite a variety of foods with hiding areas . Could support many large creatures that come down from the north or up from the south on a seasonal basis.
There is an unsolved mysteries episode about a big foot sighting at a boy scout camp in the Pocono mountains in Pennsylvania. I used to attend the camp as a scout back in the day. They still to this day have a casting of one of the footprints at the ranger station located on the camp.
If you've ever heard a bobcat growl in the woods after dark it'll put chills up your spine and seems to be more of them in south central PA the past 10 years but more so in smaller woodlots
I think in this day and age, and after what we’ve all experienced in the last 2+ yrs, anything and everything is possible. Good first Bigfoot video Cliff.
Nice little ruins! Listening to the story, creepy that it can back! I heard a bear grunt before, freaked us out. It was late at night. At least I think it was a bear...never seen it. It was while we were camping and the sound came across the stream we were near. But, I did catch the sound on video, but had to clean it up and amplify. Very thought provoking! Great video! Thumbs up!
A beautiful spot WW and Thanks for sharing this adventure! Ive talked to a number of people over the year who have had encounters with Sasquatch or Bigfoot. One was my ex wife when she was in high school camping with friends at a state park in south western Pa. the area she was from as well. She awoke in the middle of the night and smelled a very strong musky odor, crawled outside her tent and stood on the near by trail. In a moment she was face to face with a large bipedal hairy creature. She said it’s eyes had an orange glow. It happened so fast and the creature just seemed to disappear. Not in a literal sense but very quickly. So fast was the experience that she wasn’t scared until afterwards. Another couple I knew were in the south west hiking in a canyon in the Four Corners area, I don’t remember the state. This large creature was throwing rocks down from above not to hit them, which would have been quite easy they told me but as a warning to leave, which they did. It wasn’t an area where there was hiking normally, more remote. Another man was with 3-4 friends in the Southwest and came across a large cave in a canyon. They walked back but only had a weak flashlight. He said the cave ceiling was high, perhaps 18-20 feet. About 16 14-16 feet up they spotted a pair of orange eyes. Indeed they got out of there pronto, as they heard very loud sounds they never encountered before. They never went back and if I recall they were looking for fossils and or geodes. So none of these folks had reason to make up stories, I trusted them all. So this is what I was told so take it as you may. There are so many sightings, trail cams, videos and stories and certainly some may well be contrived. But some are not. There are many honest folks who have nothing to gain from made up stories. My friends above rarely talked about their experiences or made them public in any way. I’ve seen UFOs in my years quite a few times and I know they were not the usual flying things we see any day or night. As most things we hear, there is an element of doubt until we ourselves experience it. Thanks Again WW! Perhaps one day you may see something you won’t be able to explain as you are Wondering. But isn’t this possibility something that gives life a wonderful mysterious element? Many Blessings with Joy of Being and Wonderful Wondering Adventures! DaveyJO in Pennsylvania
@@mht5875 Thanks for your comment. Both my ex and friends were/are well aquatinted with bears. The friends in the west that went into the cave/old mine I recalled later, were in the desert and the eyes were very tall. Black bears are in western Pa. but this was also very tall. Of course I’m only repeating the stories I was told, second hand. So you as myself didn’t experience these sightings. I trusted these sources very much so there is something to be said here. So Kind Thanks and I’m sure we will both keep our eyes open in the woods, which I do anyway. Have a great week. And Many Blessings! DaveyJO

I heard a bigfoot sprinting on the Old Loggers Path in Pennsylvania. I relate to this account. The sound of the thunderous stomp that monster made is unmistakable. I wasn't scared. Nor do I care if anybody believes me. I heard a 6 to 700 lb bipedal creature run at least 80 mph very close to me. I wish I saw it. It just happened to quickly. It was about 40 yards near me as it began to run.
Even a small animal sounds huge in the night. Our minds play tricks on us if we can't see. Its a nice campfire story but without a visual? Its just auditory hallucinations probably.
A deer grunt can be unsettling for sure, and a deer snort may also be unsettling if you are in the quiet woods at night. Your senses are on full alert along with your imagination. I think it could've been a whitetail deer.
Elk have been reintroduced not far from there. A bugling elk would sound a lot like bigfoot to someone whose never heard it. Either way it always a pleasure to wander along with you.

We get to Maryland also we live in PA just take day trips that's what we do but it the best to get away. Great video ty Steve
Been watching your channel for a long time now. Learned more about history of our state than I ever did in high school. Your series on Big Foot is interesting. I'm sort of skeptical about the existence of such a creature, but always stay open minded. With that said there is going to be a talk at the Gring's Mill rec area on Oct 29th from 9am to 11am. The topic is "Sasquatch: Mythology and More". Given by the Bigfoot Research Organization of Penna. Thought you may like to know.
South Central Pennsylvania Bigfoot Project is having an open town meeting (free) on FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 9, 2022 AT 6:30 PM. Location of event is just east of the Biglerville Legion Post and across the road at the Recreation Complex. The attenders would love to see you.
I am new to your content. I’m a Pennsylvanian native transplanted not by choice. Your videos! They are awesome! It’s just like I’m home treapsing through the woods! Going to go try to find your stuff since going to the area soon for r and r. I was born by State College so loved your Moshannan video. You say it funny. It’s okay, thank you thank you!
I will watch closely for your future Bigfoot episodes, Cliff. I believe they do exist, and are extremely talented at hiding and with life habits that make them almost undetectable. During your research did you try the simple approach of a RUclips search? I entered "Bigfoot in Pennsylvania" did the search and found tons of information, much of which you might want to use. Continue your good work and be safe.
The only animal I can think of that might act like that and or make those sounds. Would be a mountain lion. Before ya'll argue me otherwise Yes There Are Mountain Lions aka Cougars in Pennsylvania. I have not known cougars to be in this particular area but it's always a possibility. Cougars sound scary af when they roar/growl
The sound that he heard could have been a Bear, cougar, or coyote. Raccoons can growl and make a lot of noise also. The problem with proving big foot exists is with all of the hikers, hunters, and excavating of land they have never found that I know of a skeleton of one.
I’m hoping this fall you will be posting a lot of ghosts story and camping and hiking videos they are my favorite videos I watch on your channel, I definitely enjoy the big foot videos keep up the great work your an awesome teacher !
Hello cliff this is what I think I think there might have been a dear and a bear in the distance once again thank you for bringing this story to us love from upstate New York
That's a neat spot there. I was deterred by the posted signs when I was going to hike there. There's a trail further up the road the that goes to the top of the outcropping. As an aside. That posted trail goes all the way to Mont Alto campus
A lot of my family live on White Rock road, you passed their houses on the way up to where you are. I have hiked on the trail you are on. A lot of strange things happen in those woods. A forest ranger told me once their are Bigfoot sightings there. Their is also a lot of cult activity, animals with their heads cut off, we have heard strange chanting and drums up there several times. I personally had a strange encounter while picking rasberries. I was picking rasberries near my sisters farm ( which you passed on the way up) when I heard something I turned around to look and and standing in the middle of the road was a huge black wolf it was just starring at me. I froze for a moment then slowly walked backwards toward my car parked near me praying the whole time. It then ran into the woods. I found out my family saw a big black animal in their yards earlier that week
I saw something similar in Southeast Ohio not far from Clarington on the Ohio River. Thought at first it was a deer because of how effortlessly it ran up a hill, but it had a big tail and long fur. Kind of looked like a large Afghan Hound. I can't say what it was.
14:20 The log on the ground behind you, both ends are raised by underlying support, i.e. floating. I look for sign language, specifically 'X' and '\I/' configurations in forested areas.
I don't really know what to think of what you read from that paper. If it's at all possible I think it would be really interesting if you could return to this location with that person and have him/her relay the story again to you only this time get it on film.
Do you have bears there? I thought that could be it. Having said that it would be very nice if it was a Bigfoot but hope no-one every finds them, that would be the end of their story then. Really enjoyed the look around. Thanks for taking me along, please stay safe and take care
I kinda believe in bigfoot but the sounds the person heard...could it have been a bear? not that I"ve ever heard one but don't they sorta roar? like during a fight, mating season, scaring another bear off? and at night, alone, that roar could sound twice as loud.
Hello, again, Cliff, I really liked your first 2 Bigfoot articles on RUclips. I will be following to the end. Did you not mention that you may go looking for Bigfoot yourself? I can tell you have completed a lot of research on the subject and did some daylight hunting. As a source, have you conducted a RUclips search by simply putting "Bigfoot in Pennsylvania" in the search box? You can then scroll through and very likely find even more locations, facts and information. There is a boat-load of articles, some much better than others, and some fringe areas, like Somerset County and thereabouts are covered, even with a low density of the animal(?). If it is an animal. I have given thought to looking for our quarry myself. From my hunting days I figure that the highest point of mountains one crests when you drive north on Goldmine Road, from Middlecreek Wildlife Area, is a promising area. At that spot is a game commission parking area for hunters. Following the trail to the west, it is readily observed that during the late fall a person can observe a very long distance into the woods down into the valley. Two things to watch out for there are large, deep foxholes dug by the Army when they held exercises there. They are camouflaged by dead leaves. The other hazard is the old air shafts from the underground mine tunnels. They are not protected and would be death traps if fallen into. I carry a walking stick and probe ahead in places where I can not see ground objects like rocks or roots. This is the eastern area of St. Anthony's Wilderness. I had given thought to conducting an overnight observation from a couple of miles west of the parking area. Unfortunately, I have a situation at home that will not permit that. I was going to try a couple of things I have observed on the TV program, "Expedition Bigfoot". Banging large sticks, whistles, loud guttural hoots and lights under a fake tent. And to have my camera ready (plus I would be carrying protection in the form of bear spray and my 44 mag as back-up.) Some thoughts for you, should you do some night observation sessions. In addition to having bright flashlights available, choose your protection in the event something goes awry. Another thing I thought of when a TV program interviewed people that had close contact when bigfoot snuck up on them. Have a large quiet and well trained dog with you, staying by your side. The dog will detect things with their vastly superior senses that you or I would never detect and have the dog trained to quietly alert you, the handler. That might be the most effective safety measure you could have. And the dog could chase bigfoot off if you so ordered. When on the offensive, the dog should be OK. (This also gives a good measure of protection from black bears.) So, please give us (your followers) some notice when you plan on conducting these observational searches and when we can expect reports on RUclips. And BEST OF LUCK AND SUCCESS TO YOU. Your friend,Brad Tipton (the unfinished millstone gu
I envy ones who has access to land such as this. Where I live it's super flat, no rocks or anything "interesting". I would spend days and days exploring & disperse camp those areas. Interesting story... But I'm still at 85% saying Bigfoot doesn't exist.
Living in the Poconos, I heard a growl/ grunt noise in my yard one night while I was in bed. The next day my neighbor told me it was a wild boar He saw it in his driveway around the same time I heard it
The camp spot was at the top of the rock outcrop. The person's car wasnt seen became I rode my mtn bike to the spot. I've onlynever been back there once since that night
Here in the mountains of central Pennsylvania, these great hairy people are everywhere in the woods. I don't suggest camping in any of these areas.... Bigfoot likes to hunt nocturnally and anything is fair game. 👁️
I'm 56 years old and I have visited many NPs, have done much camping in many woods and I have yet to come across a Bigfoot creature. I'm not saying they don't exists but at my age and years of experience in the woods, I have reason for doubting the existence of Bigfoot.
Many tribes have been recounting Sabe stories for centuries. There is a YT channel posted by some Pikani Blackfoot women about the Sabe in their territory. There is a story called Meeting Pikani Blackfoot Medicine, Pikani Blackfoot Storytelling Project on YT.
My encounter also my 4 yr old daughter encounter was during the day; my 5 yr old encounter was during the day but really foggy outside. Both times with my encounter also my daughter encounter hairy man or big foot was quiet as a mouse running and walking. My big foot ran on all four legs my daughter sighting was quiet too like their was nothing around.
I've heard coyotes bark, yip, howl, growl, whimper and sound like a crying baby. I've heard cats in the light of day make some pretty ferocious growls. I find it strange that a bigfoot would run away only to come back. Whatever it was may have had no interest in the camper at all. It may not have even been watching him. Animals do stalk other animals. Sounds more like a coyote. I know coyotes have infiltrate as far south as York and Adams Counties. Without an actual sighting, I'm skeptical about this one.
My personal opinion is a bear. Black bear do grunt. I've heard this personally in my yard. If this person was cooking food over his fire, that would draw a bear in from up to 10 miles. Yes, their nose is that good. Their eyesight, however, is not good at all. The only time I have ever heard of a bear roaring was a story told to me by a friend. He and a few of his other friends were bear hunting in upstate Pennsylvania. One of his friends shot a bear and the bear supposedly left out a roar. Again, this is only hearsay though. My theory? A bear smelled food and came to investigate. When the bear came closer the the person, the bear picked up the human scent. The bear, being frustrated, let out a grunt and ran off. Keep in mind, bears do not see well, so while it's running away, it's plowing over saplings, brush, and even small dead trees. The growl? Going by my friends hunting story, maybe in plowing through the brush the bear injured itself and then left out a growl. Good story, and I'm trying to keep an open mind to all of this, but my opinion is he had a bear encounter.
Good job on the video. I’m on the fence on this one. Not enough information with only hearing the sounds. If it was seen too, that’d be a bit more believable .
My thoughts on Bigfoot really varies, on one side of the coin I feel like earth is a big place, who know what has yet to be discovered, but, on the other side of the coin I feel like if there were Bigfoot type creatures among us in the woods or forests, why hasn’t a skeleton or skeletal remains been found yet and why are there no credible or clear photographs of them, thousands of people use trail cams for hunting and wildlife photography, why isn’t there a trail cam picture floating around on the internet of one? I’m trying to remain open minded, if I’m being honest I’m leaning a bit more to the “they don’t exist” side of the conversation, strictly based on the lack of evidence and photographs.
I'm convinced that 1967 Patterson/Gimlin video showed one. No doubt in my mind. Look how it moved. Remember the first Planet of the Apes movies? They didn't produce costumes that realistic.....with breasts no less!?!?
Watch Expedition Bigfoot on the Travel Channel. It's usually on Sunday evenings. It will change your opinion on what you believe. It's not a BS show like many of these Bigfoot shows are you see on TV. Check it out.
I've mentioned my encounters on your opening video I believe, so won't repeat here. The only thing I will say is that if you hear that roar....you will definitely know. Doesn't sound like anything I know of either. Experience sounds similar to one of my own.
Hi Cliff, could it have been a bear ??, I live in the UK so I am not totally familiar with bear noises per se. I am totally on the believer side of the fence when it comes to Bigfoot, that could have been what he heard I cannot say for sure but you would think an outdoorsman would know what a bear sounds like in his native land. Thank you for sharing, much love. xx ❤
Bears stumble around like big clumsy dogs. They kind of grumble to themselves as well. I have had one in a campsite and while they sit and ponder (if bears ponder) they can be incredibly quiet. But when it's a bear, you kind of know it's a bear. I think a Bigfoot is more deliberate and graceful, for lack of a better term. 😄
while I respect everyone's right to have an opinion and belief, for me personally I find it hard to believe that in all the time that there has been stories and sightings, there has never been a carcass found and documented.
FL has something called a skunk ape. Hey Cliff! Go listen to the video at where you say here's a little bit more of that graffitti. Full volume...There is an odd sound. I KID YOU NOT! Either a bee buzzing or ???
Wandering Woodsman…I wonder if it might have been a homeless nomad person who may have been living or camping nearby his camp. Perhaps trying to scare this person off. The woods are filled with ppl living off the land with survival skills. They don’t stay in one place they stay on the move.

Bears can grunt and roar. Stay well and be safe.
It took scientists 60yrs to find a live panda. A non intelligent animal with bright coloring that does not blend in with its surroundings.
I grew up and still live about 15 minutes from there, but never heard of those rocks. Might have to go hike that area
Damnit, I was at PA grand canyon 2 months ago! I went looking for the one at worlds end and couldn't find the tree.
Do bears make grunting and roaring noises? Could be a Mom trying to scare people away from her cubs. Maybe?
Rumor has it that Bigfoot likes apples and shiny things
A deer snort scared the mess outta me. Sounded like a grown man blowing his nose 😂😂but being such a popular place i doubt Bigfoot hangs out near there
Even a small animal sounds huge in the night. Our minds play tricks on us if we can't see. Its a nice campfire story but without a visual? Its just auditory hallucinations probably.
You should keep doing these, they are awesome
A bear. I have a lot of them pass through my back yard. Yes, bears grunt, roar and also huff. PA has the largest black bear population in the U.S.
A deer grunt can be unsettling for sure, and a deer snort may also be unsettling if you are in the quiet woods at night. Your senses are on full alert along with your imagination.
I think it could've been a whitetail deer.

I'm sort of skeptical about the existence of such a creature, but always stay open minded. With that said there is going to be a talk at the Gring's Mill rec area on Oct 29th from 9am to 11am. The topic is "Sasquatch: Mythology and More". Given by the Bigfoot Research Organization of Penna. Thought you may like to know.
South Central Pennsylvania Bigfoot Project is having an open town meeting (free) on FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 9, 2022 AT 6:30 PM. Location of event is just east of the Biglerville Legion Post and across the road at the Recreation Complex.
The attenders would love to see you.
I am new to your content. I’m a Pennsylvanian native transplanted not by choice. Your videos! They are awesome! It’s just like I’m home treapsing through the woods! Going to go try to find your stuff since going to the area soon for r and r. I was born by State College so loved your Moshannan video. You say it funny. It’s okay, thank you thank you!
I will watch closely for your future Bigfoot episodes, Cliff. I believe they do exist, and are extremely talented at hiding and with life habits that make them almost undetectable.
During your research did you try the simple approach of a RUclips search? I entered "Bigfoot in Pennsylvania" did the search and found tons of information, much of which you might want to use. Continue your good work and be safe.
Maybe a large Black Bear 🐻
The only animal I can think of that might act like that and or make those sounds. Would be a mountain lion. Before ya'll argue me otherwise Yes There Are Mountain Lions aka Cougars in Pennsylvania. I have not known cougars to be in this particular area but it's always a possibility. Cougars sound scary af when they roar/growl
Yes, they have been seen in eastern pa, by the way it's why Penn state uses it as the mascot.
Bears if there are any there, they grunt and roar 😎
The sound that he heard could have been a Bear, cougar, or coyote. Raccoons can growl and make a lot of noise also. The problem with proving big foot exists is with all of the hikers, hunters, and excavating of land they have never found that I know of a skeleton of one.
I’m hoping this fall you will be posting a lot of ghosts story and camping and hiking videos they are my favorite videos I watch on your channel, I definitely enjoy the big foot videos keep up the great work your an awesome teacher !
Cool beginning to the series.Thanks Cliff✨
Hello cliff this is what I think I think there might have been a dear and a bear in the distance once again thank you for bringing this story to us love from upstate New York
it was a bear
And Fox’s can make some serious strange noises also.
That's a neat spot there. I was deterred by the posted signs when I was going to hike there. There's a trail further up the road the that goes to the top of the outcropping.
As an aside. That posted trail goes all the way to Mont Alto campus
This one is a bit sketchy for me. But it changes things being there at night.
Michaux is an amazing place, and if I was Bigfoot I'd live there.
First thing I thought of was nothing in Pennsylvania roars. I'm 68 years old and lived here all my life.
Deer do that very loud huff\snort warning. Usually while doing it they stamp their feet.
A lot of my family live on White Rock road, you passed their houses on the way up to where you are. I have hiked on the trail you are on. A lot of strange things happen in those woods. A forest ranger told me once their are Bigfoot sightings there. Their is also a lot of cult activity, animals with their heads cut off, we have heard strange chanting and drums up there several times. I personally had a strange encounter while picking rasberries. I was picking rasberries near my sisters farm ( which you passed on the way up) when I heard something I turned around to look and and standing in the middle of the road was a huge black wolf it was just starring at me. I froze for a moment then slowly walked backwards toward my car parked near me praying the whole time. It then ran into the woods. I found out my family saw a big black animal in their yards earlier that week
I saw something similar in Southeast Ohio not far from Clarington on the Ohio River. Thought at first it was a deer because of how effortlessly it ran up a hill, but it had a big tail and long fur. Kind of looked like a large Afghan Hound. I can't say what it was.
14:20 The log on the ground behind you, both ends are raised by underlying support, i.e. floating. I look for sign language, specifically 'X' and '\I/' configurations in forested areas.
Have heard deer 'chuff' before. I looked around and saw a fawn. So, I guess, mama was not happy with my closeness to baby.
Hi cliff really like that your talking about Bigfoot
Try camping there at night. Then you'd probably have a lot more to report on something strange.😳
great video!! i like this format, Hiking, history and bigfoot hunting. hope you do more,
I don't really know what to think of what you read from that paper. If it's at all possible I think it would be really interesting if you could return to this location with that person and have him/her relay the story again to you only this time get it on film.
Do you have bears there? I thought that could be it. Having said that it would be very nice if it was a Bigfoot but hope no-one every finds them, that would be the end of their story then. Really enjoyed the look around. Thanks for taking me along, please stay safe and take care
I kinda believe in bigfoot but the sounds the person heard...could it have been a bear? not that I"ve ever heard one but don't they sorta roar? like during a fight, mating season, scaring another bear off? and at night, alone, that roar could sound twice as loud.
Hello, again, Cliff, I really liked your first 2 Bigfoot articles on RUclips. I will be following to the end. Did you not mention that you may go looking for Bigfoot yourself? I can tell you have completed a lot of research on the subject and did some daylight hunting. As a source, have you conducted a RUclips search by simply putting "Bigfoot in Pennsylvania" in the search box? You can then scroll through and very likely find even more locations, facts and information. There is a boat-load of articles, some much better than others, and some fringe areas, like Somerset County and thereabouts are covered, even with a low density of the animal(?). If it is an animal.
I have given thought to looking for our quarry myself. From my hunting days I figure that the highest point of mountains one crests when you drive north on Goldmine Road, from Middlecreek Wildlife Area, is a promising area. At that spot is a game commission parking area for hunters. Following the trail to the west, it is readily observed that during the late fall a person can observe a very long distance into the woods down into the valley. Two things to watch out for there are large, deep foxholes dug by the Army when they held exercises there. They are camouflaged by dead leaves. The other hazard is the old air shafts from the underground mine tunnels. They are not protected and would be death traps if fallen into. I carry a walking stick and probe ahead in places where I can not see ground objects like rocks or roots. This is the eastern area of St. Anthony's Wilderness. I had given thought to conducting an overnight observation from a couple of miles west of the parking area. Unfortunately, I have a situation at home that will not permit that. I was going to try a couple of things I have observed on the TV program, "Expedition Bigfoot". Banging large sticks, whistles, loud guttural hoots and lights under a fake tent. And to have my camera ready (plus I would be carrying protection in the form of bear spray and my 44 mag as back-up.) Some thoughts for you, should you do some night observation sessions. In addition to having bright flashlights available, choose your protection in the event something goes awry. Another thing I thought of when a TV program interviewed people that had close contact when bigfoot snuck up on them. Have a large quiet and well trained dog with you, staying by your side. The dog will detect things with their vastly superior senses that you or I would never detect and have the dog trained to quietly alert you, the handler. That might be the most effective safety measure you could have. And the dog could chase bigfoot off if you so ordered. When on the offensive, the dog should be OK. (This also gives a good measure of protection from black bears.)
So, please give us (your followers) some notice when you plan on conducting these observational searches and when we can expect reports on RUclips. And BEST OF LUCK AND SUCCESS TO YOU.
Your friend,Brad Tipton (the unfinished millstone gu
I envy ones who has access to land such as this. Where I live it's super flat, no rocks or anything "interesting". I would spend days and days exploring & disperse camp those areas.
Interesting story... But I'm still at 85% saying Bigfoot doesn't exist.
Living in the Poconos, I heard a growl/ grunt noise in my yard one night while I was in bed. The next day my neighbor told me it was a wild boar He saw it in his driveway around the same time I heard it
Ever thought about the Laurel Highlands? I’m a native to these parts and they’re full of ghost and other historical happenings, UFO’s and BigFoot!
Thank you
The camp spot was at the top of the rock outcrop. The person's car wasnt seen became I rode my mtn bike to the spot. I've onlynever been back there once since that night
I would be in the bear or bobcat school they both have growls that can be frightening
Here in the mountains of central Pennsylvania, these great hairy people are everywhere in the woods. I don't suggest camping in any of these areas.... Bigfoot likes to hunt nocturnally and anything is fair game. 👁️
a bear ?
Sounds like it was probably a black bear that was sighted, not Bigfoot.
Cliff,
Bear, Wild Pig and possibly a Deer.
This just not seem like Big Foot country, not wild enough.
Cheers,
Rik
15:38 You point right at it, 'X' marks the spot.
I call my Jeep Patriot…Hot Lips 👄 after the tv show MASH. And their many Jeep scenes. I’m all about the Sasquatch, love the channel! Sub’d
I'm 56 years old and I have visited many NPs, have done much camping in many woods and I have yet to come across a Bigfoot creature. I'm not saying they don't exists but at my age and years of experience in the woods, I have reason for doubting the existence of Bigfoot.
More night exploring!
Many tribes have been recounting Sabe stories for centuries. There is a YT channel posted by some Pikani Blackfoot women about the Sabe in their territory. There is a story called Meeting Pikani Blackfoot Medicine, Pikani Blackfoot Storytelling Project on YT.
Just got a book called Wood Booger by Melissa George.
My encounter also my 4 yr old daughter encounter was during the day; my 5 yr old encounter was during the day but really foggy outside. Both times with my encounter also my daughter encounter hairy man or big foot was quiet as a mouse running and walking. My big foot ran on all four legs my daughter sighting was quiet too like their was nothing around.
If I was looking for my 15 minutes of fame, maybe Big Foot isn't the route to take.
I've heard coyotes bark, yip, howl, growl, whimper and sound like a crying baby. I've heard cats in the light of day make some pretty ferocious growls. I find it strange that a bigfoot would run away only to come back. Whatever it was may have had no interest in the camper at all. It may not have even been watching him. Animals do stalk other animals. Sounds more like a coyote. I know coyotes have infiltrate as far south as York and Adams Counties. Without an actual sighting, I'm skeptical about this one.
yes a buck deer can grunt and growl during the rut
Brown rocks are what tumble down your pant leg when you see a Bigfoot.
My personal opinion is a bear. Black bear do grunt. I've heard this personally in my yard. If this person was cooking food over his fire, that would draw a bear in from up to 10 miles. Yes, their nose is that good. Their eyesight, however, is not good at all. The only time I have ever heard of a bear roaring was a story told to me by a friend. He and a few of his other friends were bear hunting in upstate Pennsylvania. One of his friends shot a bear and the bear supposedly left out a roar. Again, this is only hearsay though. My theory? A bear smelled food and came to investigate. When the bear came closer the the person, the bear picked up the human scent. The bear, being frustrated, let out a grunt and ran off. Keep in mind, bears do not see well, so while it's running away, it's plowing over saplings, brush, and even small dead trees. The growl? Going by my friends hunting story, maybe in plowing through the brush the bear injured itself and then left out a growl.
Good story, and I'm trying to keep an open mind to all of this, but my opinion is he had a bear encounter.
Relax and open up your doors of perception. There is nothing to fear but fear itself.
I never heard of that town or Forrest ? Pennsylvania has ton of wooded areas.
Good job on the video. I’m on the fence on this one. Not enough information with only hearing the sounds. If it was seen too, that’d be a bit more believable .
Yeah more detail on the growl it made would have been nice
Love the new series! Great stuff
Looks more like an ancient structure than a quarry. Maybe something is there to guard it.
My thoughts on Bigfoot really varies, on one side of the coin I feel like earth is a big place, who know what has yet to be discovered, but, on the other side of the coin I feel like if there were Bigfoot type creatures among us in the woods or forests, why hasn’t a skeleton or skeletal remains been found yet and why are there no credible or clear photographs of them, thousands of people use trail cams for hunting and wildlife photography, why isn’t there a trail cam picture floating around on the internet of one? I’m trying to remain open minded, if I’m being honest I’m leaning a bit more to the “they don’t exist” side of the conversation, strictly based on the lack of evidence and photographs.
I'm convinced that 1967 Patterson/Gimlin video showed one. No doubt in my mind. Look how it moved. Remember the first Planet of the Apes movies? They didn't produce costumes that realistic.....with breasts no less!?!?
Watch Expedition Bigfoot on the Travel Channel. It's usually on Sunday evenings. It will change your opinion on what you believe. It's not a BS show like many of these Bigfoot shows are you see on TV. Check it out.
@@Equinox051256 nice, I’ll check it out, thanks for the info!!
I've mentioned my encounters on your opening video I believe, so won't repeat here. The only thing I will say is that if you hear that roar....you will definitely know. Doesn't sound like anything I know of either. Experience sounds similar to one of my own.
Hi Cliff, could it have been a bear ??, I live in the UK so I am not totally familiar with bear noises per se. I am totally on the believer side of the
fence when it comes to Bigfoot, that could have been what he heard I cannot say for sure but you would think an outdoorsman would know
what a bear sounds like in his native land. Thank you for sharing, much love. xx ❤
Bears stumble around like big clumsy dogs. They kind of grumble to themselves as well. I have had one in a campsite and while they sit and ponder (if bears ponder) they can be incredibly quiet. But when it's a bear, you kind of know it's a bear. I think a Bigfoot is more deliberate and graceful, for lack of a better term. 😄
@@lightwavz I think you are right actually lol. x
Bear? Something in the cat family? Deer? Deer & a bear? Jokesters?
while I respect everyone's right to have an opinion and belief, for me personally I find it hard to believe that in all the time that there has been stories and sightings, there has never been a carcass found and documented.
Have you ever found a bear carcass in the woods? Or even a bear skull?
Yep
Bigfoot is real
More than likely a bear smelling food. And when you go looking for the mug and sticker, take a bag with you and pick up some trash.
Too too scary ! Keep Niomi's engine running !
The channel base camp chris does Bigfoot type stories mostly ones from viewers so mybye your viewers can give you their stories.
FL has something called a skunk ape. Hey Cliff! Go listen to the video at where you say here's a little bit more of that graffitti. Full volume...There is an odd sound. I KID YOU NOT! Either a bee buzzing or ???
Read the book by autumn Williams Enoch
Wandering Woodsman…I wonder if it might have been a homeless nomad person who may have been living or camping nearby his camp. Perhaps trying to scare this person off. The woods are filled with ppl living off the land with survival skills. They don’t stay in one place they stay on the move.
What if that was bigfood blocking the path??
j/k
The writer said he was in a hammock, where would he have put it at the location you were at?
bear?
I am not saying this is what it was, but I have heard black bears grunt and roar.
When you see one, you too will believe it……..
I consider a family of Sasquatch my friends……. I live in Montana, a grizzly bear will turn and run from Sasquatch balling like a cub…….
A bear ma?ybe
Military knows about them…..
A bear?
