I’m a retired Army combat veteran of multiple deployments. I served 30 years in the Army and retired in 2014. My wife and I now live in the North Cascades along the Skagit River in a family home that we purchased from my father in law. After a hunting trip with a veteran buddy of mine in the Illabot peaks area I no longer go out hunting in the woods here alone… and never as deep into the woods as I used to! I’ve had a few encounters prior to the one that day, even one that emptied an entire campground on Baker lake at 3:AM when the screaming and howling woke up everyone and all of the people camping there left except my wife and I along with three other campers!… was pretty F’n spooky!!!… but the day that did it for me was a hunting trip with another friend of mine that I had served with on multiple deployments. We were up in the Illabot Peaks area and were followed for about 5 miles! What ever “they” were managed to stay just in the shadows deep enough in the woods that we never got a look at them… but we could hear them and they would talk to each other. You could hear a very deep raspy voices just loud enough that it was like you could tell they were talking, but you couldn’t understand what they were saying! I’ve hunted men before and we were both pretty skilled at it… but we were never able to circle in or close on "who ever" it was that was "stalking" us! - I could go on and on about this day in much detail, but the point is, is that I just don’t go back deep in the woods here anymore! Nope, not gonna happen! people can think I'm as nutz as they want or pretend that there's no such thing as a Squatch🙄… but I've hunted plenty of 2 and 4 legged animals and have never crossed paths with anything like that day… and I ain't gonna tempt fate to play hide n seek with who ever they were? as far as I'm concerned, they own that place! 😕👍
Back in 2013 I was camping in a very remote part of Vancouver Island's northwest coast. On August 1st or 2nd at about 1:30 am to 2:00 am I was woken up by an enormous noise which lasted only about 5 or so seconds, a sort of hooping, holering in a rising pitch. I've been an outdoorsman hunting and fishing in the Northwest for almost 50 years. The very loud noise that woke me up was nothing I've ever heard before. The hillside the noise came from was totally untravelable by man, an area of huge bolders and rock with a mix of about 1/4 trees growning the rock cracks.
@@archer721 yes I agree with you 💯%.. One day after I came back from the Navy me and my buddy were going to look at an old house way back in the woods. But it was inside city limits. We had to walk a good distance, maybe a quarter mile to get to the woods. As soon as we went into the woods about 50 feet something started walking beside us. It sounded like it was right next to me and my buddy was on the other side of me. At first my buddy didn't hear it walking. I could hear twigs snapping and leaves crunching. I got the feeling that if we kept going something bad was going to happen. We turned around and went back to the truck. It followed us all the way back. It could run very fast and we never saw it. When we got to the truck it was walking in circles just in the brush
I grew up in Southern Thurston County, I’ve been in the woods practically since I could remember. While I’ve never personally had an encounter I’ve seen some pretty interesting stuff. One year elk shed hunting my friend and I climbed up to this ridge line that we had passed up climbing for years because we always found sheds on the lower ridges and never needed to climb that high. When we finally got up there after hiking in the backcountry for a whole day, having to camp overnight. We found so many chalked elk sheds and fresh ones. Lots of huge 8 point sheds, more than we could pack out. The most interesting thing that we found up there however, was what I could only describe as a shack, made out of elk sheds and tree branches. We were absolutely baffled and initially thought that someone must have made this, but there was no tracks whatsoever and this ridge was covered in pristine elk sheds that other hunters would have taken. The sheds on the “shack” in particular were very nice and we ended up taking them . I took pictures of it before but since then I lost that phone. I’ve also spoken with lots of old hunters like jack and the old vet he talked about who’ve had encounters. Sasquatch is definitely real and It’s humbling to know that I’ve walked the same ground that these creatures call home.
@@NartOfficial371 I'd love to be able to hike in there and see what you saw with you if you could remember how to get there. I would be honored to be part of such an exciting adventure. 👍🤠
I was a few feet from a Squatch back in '92 - It was a bizarre incident where it was trying to hide it tall grass several feet from a bend in a trail.I walked right on up to it after seeing the reddish brown hair from a distance, thinking it was a bear. I got right behind it and it had human body features, I'm seeing it's back from the top of it's ass to the shoulders at about the height of the grass which was around 40" tall - It was built like a giant bodybuilder - from the top of its ass to the shoulders was at least 48" - It did nothing, I couldn't figure out what it was, "bigfoot" wasn't even in my head as an option.... I had been going to this area, the Delaware Water Gap, since I was a kid, hunting, fishing and camping in all seasons - I knew all the animals in that area, the biggest things there were deer and black bears. I was 25 and a Marine vet at the time - My brain was scrambled, I thought to myself that if I had a stick I could poke it and at that moment I had the thought that this thing was so powerfully built it could just get up and rip my head off so I backed away from it - I was with a woman, we had hiked up the mountain to camp and have a good time, this was at about 8:AM - I motioned for her to walk up to me and past me back into the tree line and I walked backwards keeping my eyes on the thing until I was into the treeline and out of sight of it. Then the thing got up and I heard it walking on two legs, when it's feet hit the ground I could feel it in my chest as I was running back to catch a glimpse of it - I remember hearing a swish-crunch before the feet hit the ground with every step. It had walked through the high grass back into the treeline leaving shafts where it had stepped - I remember thinking that if I or any other animal had walked through that grass we'd have left a "trail" through the grass you could see, a "line", if you will.... This thing was tall enough to be able to walk OVER 40' high grass, compressing it with it's "big feet" (the sound I heard) as it stepped over the grass - It had to have been ten feet tall and weight 500lbs for it to do what I saw, heard and felt in my body. Needless to say a "good time" was not had that night - The next morning we walked past the same spot on the way off the mountain and I inspected that area it had been "squatting" in which was obviously still there - It was a big area of mashed down grass 4'-5' in diameter - I didn't go back into the forest for 20 years but the strange thing is I blocked it out on my memory for that long - I never thought it was a sasquatch or anything, I couldn't make out what it was at the time, my brain just scrambled not understanding what I had experienced, I suppose my brain just tossed it out because it could make any sense of it - The memory was triggered decades later when I started watching the Bigfoot shows on the idiot box. It was a crazy thing, all-of-a-sudden it all flashed back into my skull and finally made sense. The details are burned into my brain like it happened yesterday. It had long reddish brown hair all over it's body, about 4"-6" long shinny and healthy, clean and matted down perfectly where I could see all the muscle definition. It even had that diamond pattern of muscle you see at the base of a bodybuilders spine - I remember seeing the striations in the muscle - These things are powerfully built
You are fortunate to have had this experiance, no harm done. Sometimes ignorance pays big dividends, other times not so much. Thanks for the account. A wiff of envy here.
@@AstroVanTribe I seen a reddish one stepping up out of a pond from about 80 yards, it had been about 9 ft tall, 5 ft wide at the shoulders, it had 19" X 8" footprints with 5 ft strides. I made eye contact with it, scared the s#!t out of me. I left really quickly. That was in 1993 south central Montana. I also seen some black ones in Wyoming.
I have lived in Washington my hole life. Fishing and hunting, and hiking the cascade mountains, never seen a Bigfoot sign of any kind. I'm talking 50 years of my life. They Don't exist.
@@BrianMadsen-pb4ldWhat a bold and ignorant comment to make. Are you calling sane, competent men and women liars because they have experienced something you haven't? How foolish is that?! Explorers and scientists are still discovering new species every week! Just because YOU haven't seen one doesn't mean they dont exist.
@@BrianMadsen-pb4ld I agree: I would think the guys who have seen creatures with non-bear faces just saw escaped apes, and the missing toy has just played with by local animals in the area for a while, like how pets play with things all over the place, which could end up with the things returning to where they were.
@salishsasquatch won't let me mainline comment..if I have been banned from your channel I will unsub yet to another. Channel..seems that if mods don't like me they ban me from commenting on channels

As the fifth generation of my family to walk these Washington woods, and with two encounters with the big guy myself, I do appreciate these credible interviews. Thank you for taking this seriously.
@@jackbowers5931 I think you're referring to the Olympic National Park. My experiences were 1) About 1/2 mile south of the Clearwater post office in a meadow opposite the Clearwater River while doing a moonlight walk down Clearwater Road with seven other people, so, lots of witnesses; 2) Took place right behind my cabin located about 1/2 mile north of the Clearwater post office on Clearwater Rd. The post office shut down a long time ago, but that's the best reference point I have.
Well done video ! ! Not dramatic, nor over hyped, simply a 55+ years young man conveying an anecdote of experiences past. Beautifully done, nice job. - I'm subscribing
The only way he was in Vietnam if he’s 55 is either in the womb or his dad’s balls. I’m a 50 year old vet and joined during desert storm and I still missed that one. So somebody is mistaken
Started elk hunting the Willapa hills around 1990. Then I eventually made my way to Boistfort and Mt St. Helens area. This, over the course of 25 years has me convinced that there is some thing out there. I cant deny what I've seen and heard! Youve mentioned a few of my hunting areas, I believe you know what your talking about!
This has quickly become one of my favorite sasquatch channels. ESPECIALLY when Mr. Bowers is relating these encounters, man that guy is great. Thank you for your service sir
Thankyou to you for your respect to veterans! I'm a British army veteran so this is very dear to my heart! I'm a serious pupil of sasquatch and have been for over 20 years now. Sasquatch has crazily somehow become my therapy aiding me in my struggles with PTSD! Godbless you and all your listener's here who have expressed their thoughts for veterans also! Thankyou again. Jason in 🏴 x 🇨🇦
Thank you for your service. My daughter is in the UK studying and also dating a former British army vet. Your service is as important to your country as our vets to ours!
@grammysal thankyou very much for your message! Hope your daughter will be extremely happy here!! Lovely to see that veterans have the amount of support we have! Seems that today out nations are overlooking their own, it's very bad here for this sadly! Thankyou again for your reply!! Take care. Jason
I heard one scream by my house Silver Falls park & laying in my hammock heard this come from the canyon in which borders our home. Never in my life have ever heard a sound like this. Canyons can make a sound & reflect durections but it eas close behind our home & never forget this sound in my life. My hair stood up. I knew this was a call different than I've ever heard! I know cougar calls bear all the calls of elk also. Never in my life did I hear a scream like this. Also my husband & logging in the back country 10 m acre park for thinning & brought me a pic of a he thinks was a Sasquach hut. Never had a camera back then & told me branches like a dome & tall & definitely a place to sleep & hang out! Bif fur branches inside also seen alot of black hair no prints it was dry then branches inside for bedding & he told me the smell was really weird like a dead animal. He's gone now but but I knew this was so true in his voice & my cousin working with him that day was scared & told me we found a Bigfoot den deep into this park no one ever can go! We have a store here that had a map of sightings amazing how many they were but unfortunately our only store been here for over 70 yrs burnt down but those dots on the maps were more than I ever could of imagine. Sasquach burgers & people who believed Drew thousands of people that came to our park was amazing. Might want too look into Silver Falls park. It's the biggest state park in Oregon. Lots of people here to talk too. My story is old but this store still might have history still saved. Rebuilding we need our only store here. Love your channel.
...what did that call sound like? ...my friend lived in Washington State and they had like 50/60 acres in the woods. One day, she was walking her dogs and the heeler became freaked out, acted really weird and they went home. The next day she was looking out her window and this cat...it was very big she said and it looked "prehistoric" it was a mix of different cats with stripes on its back and very large ..she describes it today to a "t" but I'm not doing it justice. So anyway, she let out a scream before she could help it and the cat raised its head, looked her right in the eye and did a graceful bound more than 8 ft up and out and it was gone.
I live in deep woods Southern Missouri. Twelve year Army Veteran. Bugged out 4 years ago on 10 acre homestead. I am interested in finding another veteran like minded 50ish or older gentleman to homestead with me. I love the woods and not afraid at all to wonder off anywhere. I would much rather put up with critters than people. God bless y'all! Hope you have a great holiday season. Kathy
Rainbow Falls! You're in my childhood backyard! Thanks for the nostalgic look at one of my favorite places, and a reminder of stories from Western Washington!❤
Scott was great. Love these interviews you guys do. And I love the cuts back to the mossy forests of Washington-nice job with the editing Sara! You guys are killing it
This channel is one of my favorites. Always looking forward to seeing the next video upload. Keep doing what y'all have been. Don't change a thing. Thanks guys!
Probably 90% of negative encounters between sasquatch and ourselves is the fault of us! This was a fantastic show! Anthropological approach is the only way to make any progress in our quest to understand and really learn anything of real substance and worth! I want so badly to get over there and spend time in an area where sasquatch are known to be! Thankyou for sharing this with us here! Jason in England 🏴 x 🇨🇦
@k8eekatt that is a term for them over here yes, very ancient it is too! Also known as the green man as well! Boggart too. I think the term woodbugger in the southern states may derive from this! Quite alot of different names for such being's though across the nation, just like there is everywhere!
Jack is quite a story teller, he's very believable. He and I are about the same age, I was in school in 1966-67. I could easily been in Vietnam. My father was killed in WW II and that is part of the reason that I was in school an not in Vietnam. Thanks Sarah, for another very good video!
Native Americans say Sasquatch is the boss of the woods. My girlfriend had some rocks tossed at on the west fork of the washougal River i saw some trees moving around on the hillside, that side of the river is very steep and full of trees and underbrush. Our friends dog was hiding under the truck, and we kept hearing grunting noises
I have become a big fan of this channel, I love watching the interviews, so much better than watching the same background of some unknown location not even related to the show looped over and over, and for that I am thankful, and y’all are truly genuine about the subject, no bullshit people, I am very impressed and can’t wait for the next video
@@salishsasquatch no, never. I always felt safe at the Mountain and on the trails. Maybe because of my love and respect of the Land, maybe because of my Cowlitz blood I’ve heard reports usually from BFRO but never by any park visitors. There is a strange story about a “Batsquatch” by a teenage kid on the Oroville road. West of Mt. Rainier NP. (It’s one of the roads we take from the Carbon area to Eatonville, then on to T-Woods and Longmire.) It was in a paper. From what I understand the kid was a great kid, good student. It scared him bad. And sounds like no one believed him. I would love to hear his story now that he’s much older. I’ll look for the info on it.
I’ve hunted the Doty hills and, although I didn’t know it at the time, I had a lotta unexplained, strange experiences. Until I saw really large bare foot prints shadowing the Elk I was hunting. Then, I drove down a skidder trail to get firewood and was blocked in by large timber lain across the trail. It took me 2+ hours to cut and move the timber. I was only down in that swail for an hour. Whatever did that was able to do that much quicker than I could’ve. Got some nice fir rounds outa the deal. I know there was no one hunting the land I had permission to be on, either. It wasn’t some disgruntled hunters. I got rained out & went into Centralia to dry out & mentioned the multiple strange & odd things to another person in a gun shop. I was informed I was in the thick of Sasquatch or SABE country. It continued for the next 3 weeks every day & night I was out there. Now, after listening to multiple channels covering this topic, I’m positive I’d intruded into their hunting grounds. I recall feeling watched. I even tried to catch who was watching me, but never was able to see anything except those 18” footprints. I still go back out there every 3-4 years, but don’t stay in the bush alone anymore.
Wow! Would love to have seen the bigfoot following the elk prints! The log in the trail is typical behavior, kinda funny how they do that. Are you in Washington state?
This is going to be great! Thank you Sara. This was fantastic! It's too rainy for a walk in the North Georgia mountains tonight so this was a great substitute.
@salishsasquatch Yes, it was! Thanks. Lol. Some sightings and sounds also my grandmother saw a "person thing" as she called it in the late 1980s. I live near the Bigfoot museum. I have not visited it yet, but I intend to in the future.
Very well done video. And a big Thank You for recognizing our Veterans. My entire family are veterans, like my son and daughter. In-laws too. My son lives in Olympia, his wife is from Tacoma, and my older sister lives in Sequim. I used to live in Port Angeles for a few years, a few blocks from the entrance to the Olympic National Park. I am fascinated by Sasquach. Ive had on encounter at the Ho River and one here in the Southwestern Appalachian's in North Carolina where i live currently. Great interview. 👍
Beautiful that scenery, I just found this channel and subscribed right away this mans stories are captivating and I love the fact that these vets are getting recognition they deserve so much! Thank you for your service sir! Happy holidays 🎄❤
The doll story reminded me of the time when I was 5 years old and stole a candy bar from the grocery store. My mom saw me holding it as we got in the car and asked if I had paid for it. Of course I said no. She made me go back in the store to return it, confess, and apologize. So now I'm picturing Little Baby Bigfoot coming home with a dolly and being scolded by Mama... "That's not your dolly, you go put that back where you found it!"
I could see that being the scenario with the young squatch. Same thing happened to me with the small grocery in town. I wanted a pack of crayons, but mom said no. I slipped them into my coat pocket anyway. Then I saw a pencil on the counter that was red lead on one end, and blue lead on the other. Fascinating to a 5 year old. I took it as well. Mom discovered my stolen stash and marched me back to the store to return all of it, confess my crime, and apologize.
Thanks for posting that. The best way to learn about what's out there is to talk/listen to the people who spend their time in the woods frequently. The Sasquatch videos with all the flashing lights, crazy sounds and special fx, yeah, that's not factual, that entertainment. Thanks again and may the path before you always be interesting.
I really appreciate your videos Sara! Absolutely awesome. You are one of my favourite channels! I just love hearing the stories! Wonderful interview. Jack is one excellent storyteller!
As a vet during the Vietnam Era, thanks! Very nicely done. Read the book: Enoch. That’s the best book I’ve read on the Sasquatch relationship with a human being.
I raise my hand, for this veitnam veteran, and I am have lived all over the South,,but I wish I would have moved up there to begin with not long after I got out,,,and you are soo,,,right only the combat a combat veteran. Can relate to one another, thanks for that!
We should be going to the one near Mt. Adams, Scott knows the exact location. (possibly more BFRO expeditions in the PNW), however it’s subject to an Appalachian project I'm trying to do. Funny side note, I think my buddy (cameraman) and i were at Mt. Rainer on veterans day (I think thats when u guys were there too) We were shooting some test footage. Im slowly learning how to edit, my buddies a pro but I've got a long ways to go. I’ll be phasing out all the AI stuff on the channel next year. Im slowly transitioning out of the commercial diving industry and into this RUclips thing. History is definitely a love of mine. Who doesn’t love a good mystery ;) Have a great Thanksgiving to you and the entire Salish Sasquatch Team. - Kevin
I believe that the Bigfoot community in a general, their very smart. How they put the doll back exactly how they found it. That's more than just intelligent
I feel the same Sara. I think from a statistical standpoint it's obvious that most of these things are peaceful. That these beings are not inherently evil, or there would be a whole lot more missing people, and the encounter stories would be way more violent then they are. Most of the "aggression" you hear about is behavior to scare us away. Intimidation. These things mainly just want to stay away from us, with good reason, as we destroy everything we touch as humans. I don't discount that there might be some out there who aren't as well intended, but I think that comes with the territory of any living being. Some good, some bad, but I do not believe that they are inherently evil.
There’s some more brutal groups in Alaska as well as an individual here and there but for the most part, people survive their encounters to tell about it. I’ve only ever seen them be awesome 😂
Wow. I know vets get tired of hearing, ty for your service, but seriously. I gotta thank all the vets. They fought for our country and they're the reason we are. God bless them all and the families that lost a loved one bc they sacrificed their life for the lives of so many strangers. Thank you all. Truly, God bless you all
Archer, thank you for your service. I too am a vet. I have more encounters than I care to remember. From face to face to distant glimpses. I have been a gas service tech for many years and have heard so many stories, I should write a book. I still go out alone rock hunting/digging. What I know is there a some that are aggressive but most have a “no contact w/ humans”. They will always keep their distance during the daylight hours.
THE ALASKAN SASQUATCH OR (HARRY MAN) AS THEY ARE CALLED IN ALASKA ARE EXTREMELY AGGRESSIVE AND VIOLENT TOWARDS HUMANS. THEY TAKE HUMANS AND EAT THEM. THEY ARE KNOWN TO ATTACK REMOTE CABINS. ALASKA HAS HUNDREDS OF HUMANS THAT GO MISSING EVERY YEAR! MANY HUNTERS HAVE HAD HORRIFIC ENCOUNTERS! THEY RIP YOU OPEN IN THE CHEST AND REMOVE YOUR VITAL ORGANS FOR FOOD.
These three accounts are as accurate as my 79 brain can recount them. I hate hoaxers the definition is just another lie. The first account is 51 or52 years old. The 2nd is around 20 ish and the most recent I am not sure but around 10ish. It's tough getting old. I came home from Veitmam in '67 and married in '68. After our son came along and was 4 we adopted a half Veitnamese lad to fill out our family. I say this to say there is good in otherwise bad circumstances.
@@calebtaylor2407So why are you here? To feel like a big boy when you say rude things like this? Don't be ignorant, learn from other people's experience, learn to listen to people worthy of the words they share. To ignore wisdom from others, is to remain ignorant throughout your life.
I seen a bigfoot and its baby in joilet illinois with my cousin and her 7 year old daughter. It was so scary. We've seen, so I'm digging through the garbage house and running as fast as a cheetah. It looked like a human, but with hair all over it, I called 911 over and over again, telling them to come there and they kept hanging up on us. It was one of the scariest things ever. My cousin tried to run outside after it and I grabbed her and saved her life. She's like this is once in a lifetime. I'm gonna go look at it in its face and uh, her and I got in a huge fight about it. And the 911 operator continued to hang up on me. And said that they were going to arrest me. And I said okay, that's fine B, which I've never been arrested and 911 never showed up. And they stopped answering our calls, they so that we were joking in that they thought we were joking, but we were crying scared out of our minds, the thing. What we see in its face was like, scary like a demonic. It was one of the scariest things I've ever seen. It must have been 78 feet tall, and the baby was like 5 feet tall. It was the creepiest thing I ever seen in my life.
@salishsasquatch no I'm in Midland now but planning on moving to the White Pass area, I just absolutely love going camping and spending time in THE REAL WORLD😃 we've had some interesting things happen when out there over the years.... my personal first time hearing them was 1997 at the old pleasant valley campground on Alder lake, the entire campground went silent after they yelled from across the channel up the mountain.. and I guess that was just the beginning lol😅
This makes a lot of sense We go off-roading at Evans Creek ORV which is about another 20 mi past carbonado we saw one of these bigfoots about 10 years ago walking along a clear-cut just before dusk. It was huge probably 10 ft tall covered in hair.
@@jackbowers5931 not too many deer in the area these days all the Bigfoot ran them out! You ever wonder why we have national parks? It's to protect the bigfoot's. That's why they say stay on the trail.
Another great show you all. I honestly feel that " they" are more human like. And just like humans we have all shapes, sizes, colors. Ect... and also personalities. 😊
@@salishsasquatch Thanks for posting this and please let this gentleman veteran, I am sure proud of his being a veteran and pray that he lives in peace of place and of mind. He's well spoken with a kindness rarely seen when speaking of others. God bless.
As a lifelong logger who comes from a family of lifelong loggers....who have worked in the most remote places on the planet.....the stories I have heard....the things I have seen with my own 2 eyes.... would honestly give most ordinary folks nightmares they would have to seek therapy to forget ! What is really out there that we have been programmed since childhood to doubt it, be highly skeptical about.....might be better off just left out there.
Since i was a wee boy i've been somewhat fascinated by the legend of 'Bigfoot'. For years i wondered if it actually existed. I watched documentaries, listened to interviews, read interviews, read documents, and i now know it doesn't exist. It's a beautiful fantasy. Being from Scotland, we have many folk stories, many tales of mythical creatures dating back thousands of years. All across Europe there are tales of creatures of all shapes and sizes, Werewolves, Vampires, Trolls, Faeries, Demons, Gremlins, Witches and Warlocks. We have them all. What many of them have in common is encouraging, or frightening children into not roaming far from home, being home before night fall, stay away from the forests, and the water, for danger lurks, and all the beasties and goblins will come and take you, and you'll never see home again. That is all the legend of the 'Sasquatch' is. It's just tales dating back hundreds of years designed to scare children from entering the forests. While we, in Europe, have moved on from those days of superstition, and fairytales, it seems Americans are still very much entrenched in those days, and they're not even making any attempt to get away from them. Something i've noticed about all of these people who profess to have either seen it, or have tales passed down from those who have seen it is, they always stumble countless times when retelling, details don't match up (From where he was sat it was a bear...only 'now' does he realise it was a Bigfoot...). How many times have we heard these people say that they heard the unmistakable call of a 'Bigfoot', for example? Unmistakable? So these people have first hand visual evidence of a Bigfoot making these sounds? They've stood and watched Bigfoot scream? No. They've heard a sound, they don't recognise it as a Wolf, or a Coyote, or a Bear, or whatever animal sound they are familiar with, and they make this primitive leap to then categorically state, that it was a 'Bigfoot'. They don't exist, it's as simple as that. Until i see footage of one on the news, or a body of one recovered and presented before the world media, with 100% positive ID, then the logical, intelligent, and rational mind, has to tell us they don't exist. I keep reading comments on Facebook, or RUclips, from people saying they have proof, but they never present it, or they present the standard shaky camera footage filmed on a 'potato', which shows a shape 200 yards away, mostly hidden by undergrowth, and leaves. Tranquillise one, film it, photograph it, take it back to a Zoo. Do that, and become world famous.
@@salishsasquatch Crazy talk? That's not a good way to attempt debate, by attempting to insult someone. Is it? Why don't you explain why it's 'crazy talk', to suggest tranquillising a 'Bigfoot'? Many animals have been tranquillised, some of which are amongst the largest animals on Earth (Elephants, Giraffes, Rhinos, Hippos, Crocodiles/Alligators.), so it's very much possible to do so...should they exist. I don't believe in them, because i'm educated, and rational. As i mentioned, i've done plenty of reading, and research from an early age, probably more than 40 years of research. If these things existed, we'd all know about it by now. I don't go with this whole thing about people having been silenced in order to prevent panic. Why would people panic? As i've seen mentioned before, Gorillas were thought of by Westerners to be myth. There was no wide spread panic when they were proved to exist. That argument is weak. If it exists, and there's proof of it's existence, as we're always told there is, then present, it. I'm sure the populace would be able to handle the revelation.
@@salishsasquatch Sorry for late reply, I don’t get YT notifications. I haven’t seen anything, but I have a son who did, while hunting up near Mt St Helens, through the Randle side. I have a brother who saw one about 50 years ago, in a wooded area between Tumwater and Tenino. Way back then it wasn’t populated like it is today. :(
Don't know about the beers, but Elbe, Ashford, and Mineral all have had their fair share of sightings and activities. Try a different brand of beer for different responses, lol
The Algorithm sent a short of this interview to me. Fascinating and well done! Now subscribed. Love the intro/outro music! What is it? Would love to add it to my nature walk playlist.
I fell asleep in a deer stand, about 15 years ago in North Alabama. No flashlight, walking home in the moonless night, something or someone began stalking me. After I tried to loose them and couldn't, I called out and told them I was about to let loose in there direction, but they kept stalking me.
In the early 1980s I was hiking and picking huckleberries with three family members in Shining Rock Wilderness on Tenant Mtn. This is an area that borders The Qualla Boundary on The Blue Ridge Parkway about 1 1/2 hrs from Asheville NC. We had been hiking about 10 minutes from the parking lot at Tenant Mountain when I looked to my right and saw a large black/reddish brown upright creature eating large handfuls of berries. It was easily 8’ tall. It WAS NOT a bear. My family are First Nations and have been around people who bear hunted in WNC & on the res all my life. I know a bear when I see one. My first thought was “how did a gorilla get up here? Maybe it escaped from a zoo?” Then I realized all three of my hiking companions (two who were X Vietnam vets) had taken off running leaving me standing there in shock. A few seconds passed and they yelled for me to RUN! The Squatch never acknowledged me …. It just kept stuffing berries in its mouth. I was frozen in place for about 10 seconds when I heard them yell at me to run. I finally took off and caught up with them out of breath, adrenaline pumping! We got to the Shining Rock and hiked out a different direction along the old train track. If anyone ever tries to gaslight me about these creatures I just don’t even bother to engage. I know what I saw that August morning in broad daylight. I have been informed by one of my cousins that there are parts of Qualla you just don’t go into. It’s well known that a tribe of Squatch live there. Believe it or not…I don’t care.
@@salishsasquatchI saw it from about 10 yards away. I was on the trail above it and could see it from the waist up from the side of the Squatch. I saw very broad muscular shoulders reddish brown hair and its arms and fingers. I only saw the face from the side profile. It never acknowledged me.
Oh my God. This is only the 3rd video I've watched from your channel. Right now watching the first part. The mention of Rainbow Falls sent chills down my spine. Why? Because my daughter lives right behind Rainbow 😮. And I never knew. And I'm sure she's not aware of any sightings. To tell you the truth. I'm not sure if I want her to know about this clip. She's not frail by any means. I raised her since a pup in the outdoors. She knows how to handle a rifle. And harvesting her first deer at 10 years old. But when we've gotten off the path in conversation about the unknown. Well that was probably,the hardest thing I had to work on. When it came to teaching her. That nothing outside of, maybe a cougar or bear. Should she fear😮. Myself I've hunted miles and miles of the same country this story teller is speaking about. Sorry for the long story. Thanks for the clip. Makes me wonder just how many times I was being watched😬 while hunting the 30 + years in those same hills😮.
I imagine you were seen by many Sasquatch over the years as you traversed that area! Your daughter doesn’t need to fear them, the Sasquatch in this area are not violent 🥰
@salishsasquatch yeah, I know that the squatch in our areas. Are non violent. And yes. I can only imagine how many times in the 40+ years of hunting those woods. That I was being observed 😬.
Not 30 years of hunting that area. But more like 40. I'm gonna be 68 next month. And so I tend to . Or don't like knowing how much time has passed me by. But I still love to hunt🤠
I’m a retired Army combat veteran of multiple deployments. I served 30 years in the Army and retired in 2014. My wife and I now live in the North Cascades along the Skagit River in a family home that we purchased from my father in law. After a hunting trip with a veteran buddy of mine in the Illabot peaks area I no longer go out hunting in the woods here alone… and never as deep into the woods as I used to! I’ve had a few encounters prior to the one that day, even one that emptied an entire campground on Baker lake at 3:AM when the screaming and howling woke up everyone and all of the people camping there left except my wife and I along with three other campers!… was pretty F’n spooky!!!… but the day that did it for me was a hunting trip with another friend of mine that I had served with on multiple deployments. We were up in the Illabot Peaks area and were followed for about 5 miles! What ever “they” were managed to stay just in the shadows deep enough in the woods that we never got a look at them… but we could hear them and they would talk to each other. You could hear a very deep raspy voices just loud enough that it was like you could tell they were talking, but you couldn’t understand what they were saying! I’ve hunted men before and we were both pretty skilled at it… but we were never able to circle in or close on "who ever" it was that was "stalking" us! - I could go on and on about this day in much detail, but the point is, is that I just don’t go back deep in the woods here anymore! Nope, not gonna happen! people can think I'm as nutz as they want or pretend that there's no such thing as a Squatch🙄… but I've hunted plenty of 2 and 4 legged animals and have never crossed paths with anything like that day… and I ain't gonna tempt fate to play hide n seek with who ever they were? as far as I'm concerned, they own that place! 😕👍
Back in 2013 I was camping in a very remote part of Vancouver Island's northwest coast. On August 1st or 2nd at about 1:30 am to 2:00 am I was woken up by an enormous noise which lasted only about 5 or so seconds, a sort of hooping, holering in a rising pitch. I've been an outdoorsman hunting and fishing in the Northwest for almost 50 years. The very loud noise that woke me up was nothing I've ever heard before. The hillside the noise came from was totally untravelable by man, an area of huge bolders and rock with a mix of about 1/4 trees growning the rock cracks.
@@archer721 yes I agree with you 💯%.. One day after I came back from the Navy me and my buddy were going to look at an old house way back in the woods. But it was inside city limits. We had to walk a good distance, maybe a quarter mile to get to the woods. As soon as we went into the woods about 50 feet something started walking beside us. It sounded like it was right next to me and my buddy was on the other side of me. At first my buddy didn't hear it walking. I could hear twigs snapping and leaves crunching. I got the feeling that if we kept going something bad was going to happen. We turned around and went back to the truck. It followed us all the way back. It could run very fast and we never saw it. When we got to the truck it was walking in circles just in the brush

I grew up in Southern Thurston County, I’ve been in the woods practically since I could remember. While I’ve never personally had an encounter I’ve seen some pretty interesting stuff. One year elk shed hunting my friend and I climbed up to this ridge line that we had passed up climbing for years because we always found sheds on the lower ridges and never needed to climb that high. When we finally got up there after hiking in the backcountry for a whole day, having to camp overnight. We found so many chalked elk sheds and fresh ones. Lots of huge 8 point sheds, more than we could pack out. The most interesting thing that we found up there however, was what I could only describe as a shack, made out of elk sheds and tree branches. We were absolutely baffled and initially thought that someone must have made this, but there was no tracks whatsoever and this ridge was covered in pristine elk sheds that other hunters would have taken. The sheds on the “shack” in particular were very nice and we ended up taking them . I took pictures of it before but since then I lost that phone. I’ve also spoken with lots of old hunters like jack and the old vet he talked about who’ve had encounters. Sasquatch is definitely real and It’s humbling to know that I’ve walked the same ground that these creatures call home.
Wowww! 🤩🤩🤩 would love to have seen photos of that shack. Thank you so much for sharing!
I’m shocked that you took apart his/her shelter!
Why did you take their sheds? I mean what was your thoughts that justified you taking them?
🤔 Hmmm... I'm still on the little detail of you stealing the sheds. Awfully "entitled" of you; I must say. PRIDE got the best of you punks that day! 🤨
@@NartOfficial371 I'd love to be able to hike in there and see what you saw with you if you could remember how to get there. I would be honored to be part of such an exciting adventure. 👍🤠
I was a few feet from a Squatch back in '92 - It was a bizarre incident where it was trying to hide it tall grass several feet from a bend in a trail.I walked right on up to it after seeing the reddish brown hair from a distance, thinking it was a bear. I got right behind it and it had human body features, I'm seeing it's back from the top of it's ass to the shoulders at about the height of the grass which was around 40" tall - It was built like a giant bodybuilder - from the top of its ass to the shoulders was at least 48" - It did nothing, I couldn't figure out what it was, "bigfoot" wasn't even in my head as an option.... I had been going to this area, the Delaware Water Gap, since I was a kid, hunting, fishing and camping in all seasons - I knew all the animals in that area, the biggest things there were deer and black bears. I was 25 and a Marine vet at the time - My brain was scrambled, I thought to myself that if I had a stick I could poke it and at that moment I had the thought that this thing was so powerfully built it could just get up and rip my head off so I backed away from it - I was with a woman, we had hiked up the mountain to camp and have a good time, this was at about 8:AM - I motioned for her to walk up to me and past me back into the tree line and I walked backwards keeping my eyes on the thing until I was into the treeline and out of sight of it. Then the thing got up and I heard it walking on two legs, when it's feet hit the ground I could feel it in my chest as I was running back to catch a glimpse of it - I remember hearing a swish-crunch before the feet hit the ground with every step. It had walked through the high grass back into the treeline leaving shafts where it had stepped - I remember thinking that if I or any other animal had walked through that grass we'd have left a "trail" through the grass you could see, a "line", if you will.... This thing was tall enough to be able to walk OVER 40' high grass, compressing it with it's "big feet" (the sound I heard) as it stepped over the grass - It had to have been ten feet tall and weight 500lbs for it to do what I saw, heard and felt in my body. Needless to say a "good time" was not had that night - The next morning we walked past the same spot on the way off the mountain and I inspected that area it had been "squatting" in which was obviously still there - It was a big area of mashed down grass 4'-5' in diameter - I didn't go back into the forest for 20 years but the strange thing is I blocked it out on my memory for that long - I never thought it was a sasquatch or anything, I couldn't make out what it was at the time, my brain just scrambled not understanding what I had experienced, I suppose my brain just tossed it out because it could make any sense of it - The memory was triggered decades later when I started watching the Bigfoot shows on the idiot box. It was a crazy thing, all-of-a-sudden it all flashed back into my skull and finally made sense. The details are burned into my brain like it happened yesterday. It had long reddish brown hair all over it's body, about 4"-6" long shinny and healthy, clean and matted down perfectly where I could see all the muscle definition. It even had that diamond pattern of muscle you see at the base of a bodybuilders spine - I remember seeing the striations in the muscle - These things are powerfully built
You are fortunate to have had this experiance, no harm done. Sometimes ignorance pays big dividends, other times not so much. Thanks for the account. A wiff of envy here.
Thanks for sharing that
@@AstroVanTribe I seen a reddish one stepping up out of a pond from about 80 yards, it had been about 9 ft tall, 5 ft wide at the shoulders, it had 19" X 8" footprints with 5 ft strides. I made eye contact with it, scared the s#!t out of me. I left really quickly. That was in 1993 south central Montana. I also seen some black ones in Wyoming.

I have lived in Washington my hole life. Fishing and hunting, and hiking the cascade mountains, never seen a Bigfoot sign of any kind. I'm talking 50 years of my life. They Don't exist.
@@BrianMadsen-pb4ldWhat a bold and ignorant comment to make. Are you calling sane, competent men and women liars because they have experienced something you haven't? How foolish is that?! Explorers and scientists are still discovering new species every week! Just because YOU haven't seen one doesn't mean they dont exist.
@@BrianMadsen-pb4ld I agree: I would think the guys who have seen creatures with non-bear faces just saw escaped apes, and the missing toy has just played with by local animals in the area for a while, like how pets play with things all over the place, which could end up with the things returning to where they were.

Thank you for your encouragement! Where did you see Sasquatch?
@@salishsasquatch Both occurrences were in Clearwater.
@@deerhaven3350Clearwater river in the park? Or ?
@@jackbowers5931 I think you're referring to the Olympic National Park. My experiences were 1) About 1/2 mile south of the Clearwater post office in a meadow opposite the Clearwater River while doing a moonlight walk down Clearwater Road with seven other people, so, lots of witnesses; 2) Took place right behind my cabin located about 1/2 mile north of the Clearwater post office on Clearwater Rd. The post office shut down a long time ago, but that's the best reference point I have.
@@deerhaven3350 I've seen a few myself, I do understand.
Such an enjoyable interview, your style of allowing him to speak uninterrupted is so refreshing. Well done.

If he was in Vietnam he'd be at least in his mid seventies or older now.
I'm 56 and I graduated high school in 1986
The only way he was in Vietnam if he’s 55 is either in the womb or his dad’s balls. I’m a 50 year old vet and joined during desert storm and I still missed that one. So somebody is mistaken
Started elk hunting the Willapa hills around 1990. Then I eventually made my way to Boistfort and Mt St. Helens area. This, over the course of 25 years has me convinced that there is some thing out there.
I cant deny what I've seen and heard!
Youve mentioned a few of my hunting areas, I believe you know what your talking about!
Please tell more

Thankyou to you for your respect to veterans! I'm a British army veteran so this is very dear to my heart! I'm a serious pupil of sasquatch and have been for over 20 years now.

There is a lot of PTSD woven in and out of sasquatch stories; I am attracted to such stories, partly, for that reason (I have PTSD, too).

I heard one scream by my house Silver Falls park & laying in my hammock heard this come from the canyon in which borders our home. Never in my life have ever heard a sound like this. Canyons can make a sound & reflect durections but it eas close behind our home & never forget this sound in my life. My hair stood up. I knew this was a call different than I've ever heard! I know cougar calls bear all the calls of elk also. Never in my life did I hear a scream like this. Also my husband & logging in the back country 10 m acre park for thinning & brought me a pic of a he thinks was a Sasquach hut. Never had a camera back then & told me branches like a dome & tall & definitely a place to sleep & hang out! Bif fur branches inside also seen alot of black hair no prints it was dry then branches inside for bedding & he told me the smell was really weird like a dead animal. He's gone now but but I knew this was so true in his voice & my cousin working with him that day was scared & told me we found a Bigfoot den deep into this park no one ever can go! We have a store here that had a map of sightings amazing how many they were but unfortunately our only store been here for over 70 yrs burnt down but those dots on the maps were more than I ever could of imagine. Sasquach burgers & people who believed Drew thousands of people that came to our park was amazing. Might want too look into Silver Falls park. It's the biggest state park in Oregon. Lots of people here to talk too. My story is old but this store still might have history still saved. Rebuilding we need our only store here. Love your channel.
Wow sherry!! I wish I could see the map with the dots!! And the hut!!! Thank you so much for sharing 🥰
...what did that call sound like? ...my friend lived in Washington State and they had like 50/60 acres in the woods. One day, she was walking her dogs and the heeler became freaked out, acted really weird and they went home. The next day she was looking out her window and this cat...it was very big she said and it looked "prehistoric" it was a mix of different cats with stripes on its back and very large ..she describes it today to a "t" but I'm not doing it justice. So anyway, she let out a scream before she could help it and the cat raised its head, looked her right in the eye and did a graceful bound more than 8 ft up and out and it was gone.
thank you soo much for your military service bob , we really appreciate you guy's for that, my uncle did two terms out there in vetnam himself etc

Probably 90% of negative encounters between sasquatch and ourselves is the fault of us! This was a fantastic show! Anthropological approach is the only way to make any progress in our quest to understand and really learn anything of real substance and worth! I want so badly to get over there and spend time in an area where sasquatch are known to be! Thankyou for sharing this with us here! Jason in England 🏴 x 🇨🇦
Hello Jason! Thank you for watching from England! We agree that most aggressive encounters are at the fault of people for sure 😁
I believe they are called woodwose in England.
@k8eekatt that is a term for them over here yes, very ancient it is too! Also known as the green man as well! Boggart too. I think the term woodbugger in the southern states may derive from this! Quite alot of different names for such being's though across the nation, just like there is everywhere!

Native Americans say Sasquatch is the boss of the woods. My girlfriend had some rocks tossed at on the west fork of the washougal River i saw some trees moving around on the hillside, that side of the river is very steep and full of trees and underbrush. Our friends dog was hiding under the truck, and we kept hearing grunting noises
I fully endorse this theory 💯

I worked at the Carbon River/Mowich area of Mt. Rainier. I also live in the same old town. I wish he could remember the Veterans name.
Ah, bummer. Will let you know if it comes to him. Any encounters for you on the mountain?
The dude would be dead by now if this was in the 70s.
Yes he has passed, and at peace. So far as I know.
@ yep, actually the guy Rainier never even saw the Mountain. Some other colonizer named it.
@@salishsasquatch no, never. I always felt safe at the Mountain and on the trails. Maybe because of my love and respect of the Land, maybe because of my Cowlitz blood I’ve heard reports usually from BFRO but never by any park visitors. There is a strange story about a “Batsquatch” by a teenage kid on the Oroville road. West of Mt. Rainier NP. (It’s one of the roads we take from the Carbon area to Eatonville, then on to T-Woods and Longmire.) It was in a paper. From what I understand the kid was a great kid, good student. It scared him bad. And sounds like no one believed him. I would love to hear his story now that he’s much older. I’ll look for the info on it.
I’ve hunted the Doty hills and, although I didn’t know it at the time, I had a lotta unexplained, strange experiences. Until I saw really large bare foot prints shadowing the Elk I was hunting. Then, I drove down a skidder trail to get firewood and was blocked in by large timber lain across the trail. It took me 2+ hours to cut and move the timber. I was only down in that swail for an hour. Whatever did that was able to do that much quicker than I could’ve. Got some nice fir rounds outa the deal. I know there was no one hunting the land I had permission to be on, either. It wasn’t some disgruntled hunters. I got rained out & went into Centralia to dry out & mentioned the multiple strange & odd things to another person in a gun shop. I was informed I was in the thick of Sasquatch or SABE country. It continued for the next 3 weeks every day & night I was out there. Now, after listening to multiple channels covering this topic, I’m positive I’d intruded into their hunting grounds. I recall feeling watched. I even tried to catch who was watching me, but never was able to see anything except those 18” footprints. I still go back out there every 3-4 years, but don’t stay in the bush alone anymore.
Wow! Would love to have seen the bigfoot following the elk prints! The log in the trail is typical behavior, kinda funny how they do that. Are you in Washington state?
This is going to be great! Thank you Sara. This was fantastic! It's too rainy for a walk in the North Georgia mountains tonight so this was a great substitute.
I hope it was a good substitute for your walk! Any activity where you live? Thank you for watching Charles!
@salishsasquatch Yes, it was! Thanks. Lol. Some sightings and sounds also my grandmother saw a "person thing" as she called it in the late 1980s. I live near the Bigfoot museum. I have not visited it yet, but I intend to in the future.
These are great stories. Thank you for sharing this stories.

The doll story reminded me of the time when I was 5 years old and stole a candy bar from the grocery store. My mom saw me holding it as we got in the car and asked if I had paid for it. Of course I said no. She made me go back in the store to return it, confess, and apologize. So now I'm picturing Little Baby Bigfoot coming home with a dolly and being scolded by Mama... "That's not your dolly, you go put that back where you found it!"
HA! I was thinking exactly this situation!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 🤣😂🤣
I could see that being the scenario with the young squatch. Same thing happened to me with the small grocery in town. I wanted a pack of crayons, but mom said no. I slipped them into my coat pocket anyway. Then I saw a pencil on the counter that was red lead on one end, and blue lead on the other. Fascinating to a 5 year old. I took it as well. Mom discovered my stolen stash and marched me back to the store to return all of it, confess my crime, and apologize.
I love these stories, especially with the great camera work with the background beauty! ❤

I really appreciate your videos Sara! Absolutely awesome. You are one of my favourite channels! I just love hearing the stories! Wonderful interview. Jack is one excellent storyteller!
Thanks again Dale! We love hearing from Jack too🥰
I appreciate your videos that you share! Keep up the great work!
Thank you for supporting us Ron!
Thanks from Bundaberg, Australia.
Thanks for watching from Australia!🥰
As a vet during the Vietnam Era, thanks! Very nicely done. Read the book: Enoch. That’s the best book I’ve read on the Sasquatch relationship with a human being.
That depiction on the book cover is my favorite!! Thank you for your service
I raise my hand, for this veitnam veteran, and I am have lived all over the South,,but I wish I would have moved up there to begin with not long after I got out,,,and you are soo,,,right only the combat a combat veteran. Can relate to one another, thanks for that!
Thank you Kyle! Jack will appreciate your comment 😁
Great stories, well-told! And I always love the scenery and cinematography, and you use awesome music! Keep up the great stuff :)

Just heard you on Bigfoot Crossroads,really enjoying your channel.Keep up the great work and thanks for all your efforts.
We love Bigfoot Crossroads! Thank you for checking us out Jeremy!
I really enjoyed listening to this witness and enjoyed the amazing scenery.
Hello RMSO!! Thank you for watching! We enjoy your videos as well!
Great Job Guys! I love the channel! Keep up the hard work. Hoping to meet you guys at the BFRO expedition next year. - Kevin
Hello Kevin! Thank you for the support. Which event are you planning on attending?
We should be going to the one near Mt. Adams, Scott knows the exact location. (possibly more BFRO expeditions in the PNW), however it’s subject to an Appalachian project I'm trying to do. Funny side note, I think my buddy (cameraman) and i were at Mt. Rainer on veterans day (I think thats when u guys were there too) We were shooting some test footage. Im slowly learning how to edit, my buddies a pro but I've got a long ways to go. I’ll be phasing out all the AI stuff on the channel next year. Im slowly transitioning out of the commercial diving industry and into this RUclips thing. History is definitely a love of mine. Who doesn’t love a good mystery ;) Have a great Thanksgiving to you and the entire Salish Sasquatch Team. - Kevin
Beautiful location, cheers from the PNW. ❤ 🎉
Cheers! Thank you for watching!
Thank you for all your service veterans, and thank you for your families who support you! we wouldn't have our freedoms without you GOD BLESS YOU!❤
Thank you DC! 🥰
Thankyou for Realizing Our Sasquatches are Humans
God Bless You that know💜❤☝️💛
😊
I believe that the Bigfoot community in a general, their very smart. How they put the doll back exactly how they found it. That's more than just intelligent
Yes! 🙌🏼
Great video, thanks for putting it out!
Thank you for watching it! 🥰
I feel the same Sara. I think from a statistical standpoint it's obvious that most of these things are peaceful. That these beings are not inherently evil, or there would be a whole lot more missing people, and the encounter stories would be way more violent then they are. Most of the "aggression" you hear about is behavior to scare us away. Intimidation. These things mainly just want to stay away from us, with good reason, as we destroy everything we touch as humans. I don't discount that there might be some out there who aren't as well intended, but I think that comes with the territory of any living being. Some good, some bad, but I do not believe that they are inherently evil.
Preach!!
There’s some more brutal groups in Alaska as well as an individual here and there but for the most part, people survive their encounters to tell about it. I’ve only ever seen them be awesome 😂
bob has some very extremely great stories about the bigfoot just so natural and awesome ! i believe him 100 %
Hello Gloria! Jack is awesome, he has many more to tell soon 🥰
beautiful images and a great testimony, thank you guys, good job!
Thank you Deborah!
Wow. I know vets get tired of hearing, ty for your service, but seriously. I gotta thank all the vets. They fought for our country and they're the reason we are. God bless them all and the families that lost a loved one bc they sacrificed their life for the lives of so many strangers. Thank you all. Truly, God bless you all
🥰🥰🥰
Wow I just subscribed this is an Extraordinary Channel totally love it
Wow! 🤩 thank you so much and welcome!
Loved the account of the hitchhiker. That guy's a good speaker.
We agree Linda! thank you!
Archer, thank you for your service. I too am a vet. I have more encounters than I care to remember. From face to face to distant glimpses. I have been a gas service tech for many years and have heard so many stories, I should write a book. I still go out alone rock hunting/digging. What I know is there a some that are aggressive but most have a “no contact w/ humans”. They will always keep their distance during the daylight hours.
Would love to talk to you Keith! Our email is sasquatchevidence1@gmail.com
Raise both hands palms 🤲 out. Universal sign used by mountain men of "come in peace"
And to show your not 6 fingers??
No weapons
Yeah, I agree that’s a good way to react. Thank you! 😁
THEY ARE NOT ANIMALS! THEY ARE BEINGS LIKE HUMANS ARE BUT NOT HUMAN. THEY HAVE ABILITIES THAT WE DO NOT HAVE!
THE ALASKAN SASQUATCH OR (HARRY MAN) AS THEY ARE CALLED IN ALASKA ARE EXTREMELY AGGRESSIVE AND VIOLENT TOWARDS HUMANS. THEY TAKE HUMANS AND EAT THEM. THEY ARE KNOWN TO ATTACK REMOTE CABINS. ALASKA HAS HUNDREDS OF HUMANS THAT GO MISSING EVERY YEAR! MANY HUNTERS HAVE HAD HORRIFIC ENCOUNTERS! THEY RIP YOU OPEN IN THE CHEST AND REMOVE YOUR VITAL ORGANS FOR FOOD.
Great interview. New subscriber. Beautiful area.
Georgia
Hello in Georgia!! Welcome! 🤗
New subscriber 😊 ive been fascinated since i was a child
Welcome Julie!! Thank you for checking us out 😁
Beautiful country, great presentation 🎉🎉
Thank you! 🙏🏼
These three accounts are as accurate as my 79 brain can recount them. I hate hoaxers the definition is just another lie. The first account is 51 or52 years old. The 2nd is around 20 ish and the most recent I am not sure but around 10ish. It's tough getting old.
I came home from Veitmam in '67 and married in '68. After our son came along and was 4 we adopted a half Veitnamese lad to fill out our family.
I say this to say there is good in otherwise bad circumstances.
Thank you for your service Jack.
Thank you for your service.
Loved the stories, Jack.
Excellent work, thank you, sir.
Thank you Jack!! 🥰
Veterans are my 100% confirmation. I am not one, but family is. They do not BS. It is as it happened. Period.
How sweet. Thank you so much. We know Jack speaks the truth ☺️

Bigfoot ain’t real 😂
@@calebtaylor2407So why are you here? To feel like a big boy when you say rude things like this? Don't be ignorant, learn from other people's experience, learn to listen to people worthy of the words they share. To ignore wisdom from others, is to remain ignorant throughout your life.
@@LaLadybug2011 lol did I offend you? All I said is Bigfoot ain’t real now your crying, truth hurts 🤷♀️
I seen a bigfoot and its baby in joilet illinois with my cousin and her 7 year old daughter. It was so scary. We've seen, so I'm digging through the garbage house and running as fast as a cheetah. It looked like a human, but with hair all over it, I called 911 over and over again, telling them to come there and they kept hanging up on us. It was one of the scariest things ever. My cousin tried to run outside after it and I grabbed her and saved her life. She's like this is once in a lifetime. I'm gonna go look at it in its face and uh, her and I got in a huge fight about it. And the 911 operator continued to hang up on me. And said that they were going to arrest me. And I said okay, that's fine B, which I've never been arrested and 911 never showed up. And they stopped answering our calls, they so that we were joking in that they thought we were joking, but we were crying scared out of our minds, the thing. What we see in its face was like, scary like a demonic. It was one of the scariest things I've ever seen. It must have been 78 feet tall, and the baby was like 5 feet tall. It was the creepiest thing I ever seen in my life.
Oh my! I wish we lived by you so that we could talk to you in person. Did you see breasts on the big one? What were they doing? Thank you for sharing🥰
I saw one too. You can read my story I just posted.
😮I'm up the white river drainage up passed ranger creek listening to this now🙏
Is that where you live DC?
@salishsasquatch no I'm in Midland now but planning on moving to the White Pass area, I just absolutely love going camping and spending time in THE REAL WORLD😃 we've had some interesting things happen when out there over the years.... my personal first time hearing them was 1997 at the old pleasant valley campground on Alder lake, the entire campground went silent after they yelled from across the channel up the mountain.. and I guess that was just the beginning lol😅
When I hiked Olympic national park this summer I definitely heard weird sounds and whoops I’ve never heard before.
Did you think it was Sasquatch at the time?
@ I’m familiar with the Sierra sounds and they sounded just like that, so it very well could be.
Very well produced.
Thank you so much! 😊
This makes a lot of sense We go off-roading at Evans Creek ORV which is about another 20 mi past carbonado we saw one of these bigfoots about 10 years ago walking along a clear-cut just before dusk. It was huge probably 10 ft tall covered in hair.
Used to bear hunt here! Over the years I brought a few home with me. This is or was a great area for game about 55 years ago. Guess that dates me, eh?
What are your other encounters?
@@jackbowers5931 not too many deer in the area these days all the Bigfoot ran them out! You ever wonder why we have national parks? It's to protect the bigfoot's. That's why they say stay on the trail.
Another great show you all. I honestly feel that " they" are more human like. And just like humans we have all shapes, sizes, colors. Ect... and also personalities. 😊
We agree Karrie! They are just as unique as humans! Thank you for that 😊
This video was so cool!
Thank you for watching it! 🙏🏼
@@salishsasquatch
Thanks for posting this and please let this gentleman veteran, I am sure proud of his being a veteran and pray that he lives in peace of place and of mind. He's well spoken with a kindness rarely seen when speaking of others. God bless.
Awesome video! Love this guy and wish I could sit and chat with him for a few hours!! 💜
He’s wonderful!! Thank you for watching
Had a few experiences in Australia I was in awe ,,there arnt animals ,majestic very powerfull beings
Yes!! 🙌🏼 What did you see?
As a lifelong logger who comes from a family of lifelong loggers....who have worked in the most remote places on the planet.....the stories I have heard....the things I have seen with my own 2 eyes.... would honestly give most ordinary folks nightmares they would have to seek therapy to forget !
What is really out there that we have been programmed since childhood to doubt it, be highly skeptical about.....might be better off just left out there.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Much love ❣️ Stay safe
Much love back at you! Thank you
Since i was a wee boy i've been somewhat fascinated by the legend of 'Bigfoot'. For years i wondered if it actually existed. I watched documentaries, listened to interviews, read interviews, read documents, and i now know it doesn't exist.
It's a beautiful fantasy.
Being from Scotland, we have many folk stories, many tales of mythical creatures dating back thousands of years. All across Europe there are tales of creatures of all shapes and sizes, Werewolves, Vampires, Trolls, Faeries, Demons, Gremlins, Witches and Warlocks. We have them all. What many of them have in common is encouraging, or frightening children into not roaming far from home, being home before night fall, stay away from the forests, and the water, for danger lurks, and all the beasties and goblins will come and take you, and you'll never see home again.
That is all the legend of the 'Sasquatch' is. It's just tales dating back hundreds of years designed to scare children from entering the forests. While we, in Europe, have moved on from those days of superstition, and fairytales, it seems Americans are still very much entrenched in those days, and they're not even making any attempt to get away from them.
Something i've noticed about all of these people who profess to have either seen it, or have tales passed down from those who have seen it is, they always stumble countless times when retelling, details don't match up (From where he was sat it was a bear...only 'now' does he realise it was a Bigfoot...). How many times have we heard these people say that they heard the unmistakable call of a 'Bigfoot', for example? Unmistakable? So these people have first hand visual evidence of a Bigfoot making these sounds? They've stood and watched Bigfoot scream? No. They've heard a sound, they don't recognise it as a Wolf, or a Coyote, or a Bear, or whatever animal sound they are familiar with, and they make this primitive leap to then categorically state, that it was a 'Bigfoot'.
They don't exist, it's as simple as that. Until i see footage of one on the news, or a body of one recovered and presented before the world media, with 100% positive ID, then the logical, intelligent, and rational mind, has to tell us they don't exist. I keep reading comments on Facebook, or RUclips, from people saying they have proof, but they never present it, or they present the standard shaky camera footage filmed on a 'potato', which shows a shape 200 yards away, mostly hidden by undergrowth, and leaves.
Tranquillise one, film it, photograph it, take it back to a Zoo. Do that, and become world famous.
Tranquillizing a Sasquatch is crazy talk. As for you not believing, that’s on you. It’s too bad that you won’t know the greatest mystery of our time.
@@salishsasquatch Crazy talk? That's not a good way to attempt debate, by attempting to insult someone. Is it?
Why don't you explain why it's 'crazy talk', to suggest tranquillising a 'Bigfoot'? Many animals have been tranquillised, some of which are amongst the largest animals on Earth (Elephants, Giraffes, Rhinos, Hippos, Crocodiles/Alligators.), so it's very much possible to do so...should they exist.
I don't believe in them, because i'm educated, and rational. As i mentioned, i've done plenty of reading, and research from an early age, probably more than 40 years of research. If these things existed, we'd all know about it by now.
I don't go with this whole thing about people having been silenced in order to prevent panic. Why would people panic? As i've seen mentioned before, Gorillas were thought of by Westerners to be myth. There was no wide spread panic when they were proved to exist. That argument is weak. If it exists, and there's proof of it's existence, as we're always told there is, then present, it. I'm sure the populace would be able to handle the revelation.
The most interesting thing about Sqwatch is his mind control ability.
Yep, Sqwatch makes everyone forget to take pictures.

Thank you for your service.😁

Pretty cool, this interview and areas talked about are almost in my back yard…..literally.
Any Sasquatch activity for you??
@@salishsasquatch
Sorry for late reply, I don’t get YT notifications.
I haven’t seen anything, but I have a son who did, while hunting up near Mt St Helens, through the Randle side.
I have a brother who saw one about 50 years ago, in a wooded area between Tumwater and Tenino.
Way back then it wasn’t populated like it is today. :(
Used to drink Schmidt beer with a couple Sasquatchs on weekends in a canyon in elbe WA
😂🤣😂
Don't know about the beers, but Elbe, Ashford, and Mineral all have had their fair share of sightings and activities.
Try a different brand of beer for different responses, lol
The Algorithm sent a short of this interview to me. Fascinating and well done! Now subscribed. Love the intro/outro music! What is it? Would love to add it to my nature walk playlist.
Welcome! Thank you for subscribing and commenting! If you email me, I will share the artist with you 😊. chehalisvillageloner@gmail.com
I fell asleep in a deer stand, about 15 years ago in North Alabama. No flashlight, walking home in the moonless night, something or someone began stalking me. After I tried to loose them and couldn't, I called out and told them I was about to let loose in there direction, but they kept stalking me.
Sasquatch!!! Typical behavior😂. Thank you for sharing!
Maybe if a little sasquatch doll was left on the log, the little sasquatch would keep it. 😊

In the early 1980s I was hiking and picking huckleberries with three family members in Shining Rock Wilderness on Tenant Mtn. This is an area that borders The Qualla Boundary on The Blue Ridge Parkway about 1 1/2 hrs from Asheville NC. We had been hiking about 10 minutes from the parking lot at Tenant Mountain when I looked to my right and saw a large black/reddish brown upright creature eating large handfuls of berries. It was easily 8’ tall. It WAS NOT a bear. My family are First Nations and have been around people who bear hunted in WNC & on the res all my life. I know a bear when I see one. My first thought was “how did a gorilla get up here? Maybe it escaped from a zoo?” Then I realized all three of my hiking companions (two who were X Vietnam vets) had taken off running leaving me standing there in shock. A few seconds passed and they yelled for me to RUN! The Squatch never acknowledged me …. It just kept stuffing berries in its mouth. I was frozen in place for about 10 seconds when I heard them yell at me to run. I finally took off and caught up with them out of breath, adrenaline pumping! We got to the Shining Rock and hiked out a different direction along the old train track. If anyone ever tries to gaslight me about these creatures I just don’t even bother to engage. I know what I saw that August morning in broad daylight.
I have been informed by one of my cousins that there are parts of Qualla you just don’t go into. It’s well known that a tribe of Squatch live there. Believe it or not…I don’t care.
Wow! 🤩 wish we could film your encounter! Did you see its face? We laugh when someone says that we saw a bear. Utterly ridiculous 😂😂😂
@@salishsasquatchI saw it from about 10 yards away. I was on the trail above it and could see it from the waist up from the side of the Squatch. I saw very broad muscular shoulders reddish brown hair and its arms and fingers. I only saw the face from the side profile. It never acknowledged me.
Oh my God. This is only the 3rd video I've watched from your channel. Right now watching the first part. The mention of Rainbow Falls sent chills down my spine. Why? Because my daughter lives right behind Rainbow 😮. And I never knew. And I'm sure she's not aware of any sightings. To tell you the truth. I'm not sure if I want her to know about this clip. She's not frail by any means. I raised her since a pup in the outdoors. She knows how to handle a rifle. And harvesting her first deer at 10 years old. But when we've gotten off the path in conversation about the unknown. Well that was probably,the hardest thing I had to work on. When it came to teaching her. That nothing outside of, maybe a cougar or bear. Should she fear😮. Myself I've hunted miles and miles of the same country this story teller is speaking about. Sorry for the long story. Thanks for the clip. Makes me wonder just how many times I was being watched😬 while hunting the 30 + years in those same hills😮.
I imagine you were seen by many Sasquatch over the years as you traversed that area! Your daughter doesn’t need to fear them, the Sasquatch in this area are not violent 🥰
@salishsasquatch yeah, I know that the squatch in our areas. Are non violent. And yes. I can only imagine how many times in the 40+ years of hunting those woods. That I was being observed 😬.
Not 30 years of hunting that area. But more like 40. I'm gonna be 68 next month. And so I tend to . Or don't like knowing how much time has passed me by. But I still love to hunt🤠
