      Sasquatch gets bear sprayed….

      By Trogluddite · Posted

      We went on a quick (1 mile out and 1 mile back) hike when we got to Yellowstone to stretch our legs.  The first 3/4 of the hike were practically sidewalks and a lot of folks turned back when there were actually roots and pine needles on the ground.  Just a little further on we ran into 3 guys bushwhacking across Yellowstone.  They chastised us for not bringing bear mace (we hadn't even gotten to a lodge to rent a can) since a bear had killed a tourist "right over there."  Then their grizzled leader told us, "You know that the bears just consider bear mace to be seasoning, right?"    Somehow, I think Sasquatch would react the same way.

      I think that channel belongs to a lady from Ohio who narrates stories from other people which are sent to her. She talks about her starting it in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q291aFYJ_uM   I prefer firsthand accounts for the reasons you state and more. Anyway, there's no way to prove the story true or not. I just have trouble with somebody bear-spraying a Sas and living to tell it. The other details are actually pretty good observations.

      Well, there is nothing on the Youtube page or the organization's website that provides any information about the pedigree of this purported encounter.  For all the information we don't have, this could have simply been an English 101 writing assignment that was fed into a computer.   The Youtube page generates a transcript which notes at the end that this is narrated by an AI-generated voice.  I thought this was obvious, but it was nice to have my suspicions confirmed.  Hearing a story first hand from the person who experienced it is critical to judging credibility.  I've spent the last 17 years listening to people recite rehearsed scripts in order to obtain a government benefit and the better part of the 16 years before that listening to what isn't said, which is as critical as what is said.  And equally important in both situations is the demeanor of the person telling the story, which gives you a good read on whether they're telling you what they experienced or what they memorized.  And you can't judge the demeanor or credibility of a witness when the "testimony" is read by a computer.    Anyone can practice this skill at a bar or a church picnic or a softball game.  Sorry to be the scurrilous skeptic on this one.  I'll try not to let it become a habit.

      Maybe it wanted her for another purpose? If its goal was only to stun her and pack her off? A lone female hiker as a mate?   It’s quite possible that the reason I have never seen one in all my years was simply because it didn’t want to engage me. And I rode on by. I am not Bigfoot big, but I am large and always armed. And in years past I was packing mules. And a 18 hand mule is intimidating, and I am sitting on it.   Or maybe I was just lucky? It does make a person think a bump helmet may be a good investment while out there.
