An AP report printed in the Bridgeport (CT) Connecticut Post on March 04, 1963.

Welcome Zbestz71, Moonfreak, Ohmus, EddyB, and WrongWay.

Sometimes, the lead just writes itself. Published in The Dunsmuir (CA) News on May 02, 1963. California Forum members may have some 'splaining to do on this one. This is not how I picture Rotarians. People who want the other dozen or so clippings about the Great Rotarian Bigfoot Hunt will have to look for them themselves. This sounds like folks just wanted to get out of dinner with the in-laws.

Know the Sasquatch/Bigfoot has all the content of Meet the Sasquatch, but also has updated material as of 2010. From what I understand, Chris Murphy is updating KTS/B. Not sure of release date on it however.

I have, here, multiple times. If you actually want to know, it's here to read. Find it, read it, then get back to me if you have questions. I'm tired of typing the same thing over and over and over.

This is 100% the case, human perception is much worse than we want to admit. I have interviewed many ( well over 200 people in person, one on one ) people and spent the time to try and gain an understanding of how " witnesses " interrupt an experience, many times there is massive gaps in the understanding of the situation when returning to a event location and also compounding effects of both the psychological impact in the moment and lower intelligence individuals that frequently submit a large volume of the reports. The short version is humans are terribly unreliable and add stress, low discernment and a desire to have status or experiences and this clearly shows what is going on. I will say it is a possibility that some events are demonic influences messing with people by playing into their fantasy or fascinations but the data over time does not suggest the species in reality is paranormal. The paranormal groups have the absolute lowest quality of evidence to back their claims over time and actually use the paranormal angle to absolve their failures and on the inverse the people ( not many of us left ) just following data and using actually biological patterning practices have a very strong base of information and methods that still yield results. We overestimate our perception and underestimate the Sasquatch.

As I said...I am not trying to convince YOU of anything as it seems you are trying really hard to convince ME, based upon your "feelings" that I should also "feel" the same "feelings" you "feel" about what you "felt" surrounding your alleged encounter. As I said, you do you boo....have fun in the woo, but don't try to ascribe anything such as "drama" and "over exaggeration" to my lack of conviction in your emotional argument. I don't play in that sandbox. I don't doubt you BELIEVE your encounter is as you describe.

The fact part depends how well the person describes the incidents and pays attention to little details that only real observers pick up on. You have to be a critical listener. At about two in the morning, I had a middle age Bigfoot staring at me while I slept, and it could have sent out a telepathic message for me to wake up. I woke up and stared into its eyes as it crouched behind a fallen log a 150 feet away from me. For some reason I was not scared and was interested in what the animal was thinking and doing. When I turned away from seeing the Bigfoot and reached over to wake my friend Bill up this Sasquatch slipped away without a sound. It could have sent me A false message of peace and was really hungry and debating on how it was gonna take one of us out.

"I have experienced a few very weird things in the woods...," said MIB. Can you tell us of these weird things in the woods? I have a few more incidents to write on. How do you not take Bigfoot seriously when you go into the woods and know that they can take you out about anytime they want. They hold back for some reason or they are too rare to be a danger.

Published in the Redding (CA) Record Searchlight on April 29, 1963. In addition, many of these trackways were reported to John Green; Forum member Redbone has a consolidated entry on them at https://bigfootforums.com/topic/64355-california-trinity-county-april-1963-records-1000349-1000350-1000351/#comment-1029730.

I don't see anything particularly "paranormal" in your waking up suddenly. Humans are still hardwired for survival and with a strong fight or flight reflex. A smell, or a pheromone, or any number of things could have alerted your "soundly sleeping" and "tired after a long days work" body that there was something amiss and awakened you. It could have been a noise your "soundly sleeping" consciousness didn't register but that part of your brain that is still working might have and awakened you. In the absence of anything else, your brain is now searching for an explanation and the only thing it could come up with was "woo" to fill in the gaps. I place zero credibility in the "woo" factor, none whatsoever. Sorry if that bothers you, but it's not my responsibility to participate in what I as a 27 year police veteran and current attorney consider to be "whimsical faux evidence lacking any scientific basis". Conversely, it's not your responsibility to change your mind because of my opinion. When I had my face to face, there were two days of very out of place vocalizations, building slaps, and disturbances in the tree line near our cabin before a very real, very physical, very zoological bigfoot stepped out in front of me at a distance of 10 yards and we stared at one another for 5-15 seconds before it broke to its left and went crashing through the thicket and pines. No "portal" opened up other than the one it created by physically busting through the brush. Call me old fashioned, but I place zero credibility in ANY paranormal, extraterrestrial, spiritual, ghost, or extradimensional connection to the phenomenon. Again, it's not my place or yours to change one another's mind but I am intellectually honest and won't compromise my conviction based on evidence to entertain what I consider to be delusion.

Absolutely false. It as likely makes it copycat lies and/or shared mistakes in observation and interpretation.

Yes and yes. I've never seen any reason to believe they were paranormal. I've had them "disappear" but each time was sleight of hand .. misdirection of attention. It's like parlor magicians getting you to look where the trick is not so they can fool you. People too arrogant to realize they've been fooled or to accept that they can be fooled are the easiest to fool of all. I have experienced a few very weird things in the woods but there has been no particular reason to believe any of those have any direct connection to bigfoot. Some people try way too hard to turn everything into bigfoot. They're to be recognized, then dismissed .. not to be taken seriously.

Hello Frisco and welcome to this thread and the forum in general. Around 1980 before I had any definite information on Bigfoot and all I knew about it was what the Patterson Gimlin film showed. Then one day my wood cutting partner and I went way up into the mountains by a little town called Prospect Oregon. The ground was flat and had large Douglas fir trees that covered the ground with forest and in between the trees there were 8 foot high bushes In a scattered formation with open clear areas. After wood cutting all day we threw our sleeping bags out in the open area and went to sleep for the night. Now during the night about two in the morning I had a paranormal experience with Bigfoot. Now I could call it telepathy or extrasensory perception Because I was sleeping soundly after a long day's work and a strange event was about to happen at 2:00 in the morning. At this time I snapped awake for no reason that I can think of and looked about 30 yards ahead into the face of a Bigfoot that was staring at my partner and I from behind a large fallen log. I have no explanation as to why I snapped awake at this time except for this paranormal experience. Hello Backdoc, and thank you for your comment and interest in this thread. Now if you read my reply just before this one, I explained a paranormal event that happened to me many years ago when I saw a Bigfoot that was watching us while we slept out under the stars. Since then, I've had other paranormal experiences that I attribute to Bigfoot such as vanishing during an observation. Many other people have reported paranormal experiences while observing Bigfoot. However, these same people that are probably woodsmen and spend much of time in the forest don't report paranormal activities with deer, bear, cougars, chipmunks and normal earth-bound creatures. Now I'm not stating this as a fact that Bigfoot is paranormal, but it's a theory. When so many people report the same paranormal event happening over and over again, it begins to make a fact. This hunch makes me wonder why Bigfoot is different from your normal earthbound animals such as bears Cougars deer world and many other animals that do not have reported paranormal behaviors. Now, if my theory is true how would Bigfoot get from a foreign planet to here? Do you spend a lot of time in the forest? Have you ever seen a Bigfoot?

“Good chance”? I respectfully disagree as strongly as one can disagree. Taking your position do you really mean there is a “good chance” or just a theory which flies past more plausible theories at light speed?

MIB I realize the difference between observations and determining a fact. You say that you have your own experiences and can you tell us more about what you experienced? Did did you experience a Bigfoot vanishing in plain sight or did you have some other kind of paranormal experience? In my opinion when you get more and more people that claim to have seen Bigfoot acting as a normal primate then they witnessed some sort of paranormal experience that makes them think that this animal is not a normal primate. I can't speak for these people, and I will try to get more actual witnesses to this event. As I have mentioned before I have witnessed some paranormal characteristics of an encounter with Bigfoot. Several years back I traveled to site that a remote primitive campground up the Elk River which is in southern Oregon. I traveled up to this campground in the early evening, and when I got there the gate was across the road and the campground was deserted. It was sometime in the winter, and I parked my car in front of the gate to explore the campground. At the time I didn't realize it, but I was going to have a paranormal experience. I stood at the gate and I heard a strange bird call out and it sounded like the call came from about two 100 yards away as I was looking into the dark campground. I was kind of suspicious because it sounded like the call was not a bird but Bigfoot mimicking a bird. The paranormal part came when a few seconds after this distant call, the same call came from this bush that was about 10 feet from me. It sounded like the caller moved instantaneously 100 yards and started making these strange calls from this close by bush. I investigated the bush and and there was nothing to be found.

Published in The Parsons (KS) Sun on February 18, 1978. This incident has one mention in the Forums from what I could find.

I am convinced that the creature we call Bigfoot or Sasquatch is an adapted relict hominin, fully biological, not "woo-ological" that is a remnant part of the bush that is the human/primate tree. Personally, my theory is that it adapted over time to bipedalism for arboreal life in the forested mountainous areas of North America.

What happens when a retired law enforcement officer from the Pacific Northwest finally speaks about the strange encounters that haunted her for decades — from her childhood home in Santa Rosa, California, to the wild forests of Oregon? In this eerie and compelling episode, we meet Liz — a straight-talking former cop who spent years rationalizing what she couldn’t explain. Until she couldn’t anymore. From the moment something loomed behind plate glass in the dead of night… to watching a hulking figure descend a moonlit hill… to being gifted a pristine turkey tail feather after asking aloud for one — Liz’s journey is filled with terror, mystery, and strange intelligence. You’ll hear firsthand accounts from Cloverdale, Montgomery Woods, Canyon Creek, and the Bryce Creek Trail — including primal screams in the night, unexplainable apparitions, and a chilling final moment when she realized: “These people are still around me.” This is more than just a Sasquatch story — it’s a look at how these encounters reshape our sense of reality. 🗣️ Share Your Story Had a Bigfoot encounter or strange experience?
