Retired Army Medic Encounters Something Watching Him In The Missouri Ozarks
BFFbot posted a topic in Bigfoot Society Podcast
In this episode of Bigfoot Society, a retired U.S. Army combat medic shares a chilling firsthand account of unexplained activity deep in the Missouri Ozarks. After moving to a remote area near Shannon County and the Jacks Fork River, he begins experiencing aggressive dog reactions, terrifying guttural growls, tree snaps, clicking sounds, and the unmistakable feeling of being watched. What makes this encounter different is the evidence. The witness recorded audio and video capturing growls, huffing sounds, rapid movement through the woods, and a late-night shotgun blast from a nearby property as something barreled through the valley. He also describes finding footprints, knuckle prints, twisted trees, and a possible kill site, all within a known Ozarks hotspot for Bigfoot activity. The discussion explores months of escalating encounters, interactions with neighbors, and communications with Missouri conservation and DNR personnel, along with why the witness ultimately left the area. This episode dives into the realities of living in remote wilderness, the dangers of unexplained wildlife encounters, and why the Missouri Ozarks continue to produce some of the most compelling Bigfoot reports in the country. 🗣️ Share Your Story Had a Bigfoot encounter or strange experience?

Why are there no bigfoot fossils found in the USA?
Catmandoo replied to georgerm's topic in General Bigfoot Discussion
It would be interesting to follow the global spread of yams. Thor Heyerdahl's theories were not universally accepted after his voyage. Polynesian navigators easily crossed back and forth. Genetic and linguistic research reveals that Heyerdahl's theories don't work. The modern version of Heyerdahl's voyage makes for a nice movie ( except for the parrot ). I have not checked on the travels of yams to see if they went east from South America to Africa and Australia. Yams could have traveled west to Australia and islands. -
Why are there no bigfoot fossils found in the USA?
MIB replied to georgerm's topic in General Bigfoot Discussion
The first Native Americans did not bring Clovis technology with them. We know that there were settlements like Rimrock Draw cave in Oregon that predate Clovis by a good margin. I know a photographer from the dig. As of now they have solid dates to 18500 BP and there is a smattering of deeper material that hasn't been dated yet. The fossilized trackway at White Sands, NM goes back to about 23,000 BP. There are other sites being excavated that may prove older than either. Nothing, though, in the way of settlement residuals that exceed 30K years and certainly nothing matching the proposed / purported mammoth bones said by some to be human-affected dated to 130K years. For the moment, it looks like Clovis did not derive from Solutrean technology from Europe as proposed, it really was near-parallel development. If Clovis tech were descended from Solutrean tech, we have another problem because there is no DNA in any existent Native American population dating from the same rough time, none. This means that somehow the Asian-descended "Native" tribes would have had to have understood and adopted the Solutrean technology yet killed every single European -sourced person so that there is ZERO DNA passed along. If Clovis technology was imported, it was into a continent already peopled by those using other technologies. Possible. Also possible it was derived in place .. that improbable but not impossible parallel evolution idea. South America is a different puzzle. One piece interesting to me is the yam / sweet potato. Apparently it is indigenous to the south pacific islands. I is maybe reasonable that some could have washed up on South America and taken root, but if so, why do the south American natives use exactly the same word as the south pacific islanders for it? This points to earlier contact than we currently think possible. We could ask why the Olmec heads' features appear sub Saharan African. Coincidence of artistry or .. familiarity with people from continents that shouldn't theoretically have been able to contact each other. We have to be a bit cautious about timelines though. A friend years back was sure that South American and African people migrated back and forth overland before the mid Atlantic Ridge took over. Hah hah, missed by a couple hundred million years. Oops. -
Wild Humans (and Journalists) Running Wild

I can see why this story made the local news, but why a cross-dressing wild man with a mask and pet dog was included in Bigfoot in Pennsylvania by Timothy Renner, I cannot explain beyond the need to fill space or to stretch credulity.

Wild Humans (and Journalists) Running Wild
Trogluddite replied to Trogluddite's topic in More Historical Newspaper Archives
The world's first -- and worst -- infomercial, published in the Public Ledger of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania on January 30, 1847 and included in Bigfoot in Pennsylvania by Timothy Renner. While it does demonstrate the degree to which wild men existed in public imagination, it clearly is just an advertising ploy. -

In this episode, a witness recounts a chilling roadside encounter on Wildcat Mountain Road near Estacada, Oregon. While driving, they describe seeing a large, hairy figure walking along the road, which appears to notice the vehicle, pause, duck down, and hide in a dip among the bushes. The encounter unfolds silently, with the figure remaining concealed while watching from the roadside. This firsthand account adds to a growing collection of unexplained sightings in rural Oregon, raising questions about what may be inhabiting remote mountain roads and forested areas. Was it a misidentified person, or something far more unusual? 🗣️ Share Your Story Had a Bigfoot encounter or strange experience?

norseman replied to georgerm's topic in General Bigfoot Discussion
My viewpoint is that they are NOT the first Homo Sapiens to enter the Americas. And its not even close. They do do beautiful fluting and stone tool work. Another thing to keep in mind is that they could have been here for 100,000 years before they invented Clovis technology. Science seems to think they brought the new technology with them from Asia. Which may or may not be true. They do this with Europeans as well. Like for example the Corded Ware culture. Its never clear exactly whom these people were and what their relationship is to modern humans living in the area. -

Wild Humans (and Journalists) Running Wild
Trogluddite replied to Trogluddite's topic in More Historical Newspaper Archives
Another article about a wild man that is clearly a human, but that didn't stop Paul and Robert Bartholomew from suggesting that it might be a Bigfoot in Bigfoot in New York and New England. In addition, the Bartholomew brothers incorrectly state that this incident occurred "in western Long Island;" Mount Vernon and Bronxville are both in southern Westchester County. This story from the Springville (NY) Journal on September 2, 1897, is the first article about the incident that is from a New York paper. Forgive me for harping on stories like these but whether such stories are put forth by "researchers" as Bigfoot encounters through lackadaisical fact-checking or through intentional misrepresentation, each one sets serious efforts to resolve the question back 10 yards for every inch gained. - Last week

"How long was CLOVIS FIRST jammed down our throats? How many scientists careers were destroyed for simply reporting the truth? And it wasn’t just a little wrong…. It was vastly grossly WRONG," Norseman. "It's been a while since I thought about the Clovis Points and the Clovis society so I had to brush up on the topic and here is what I found," georgerm. The Clovis culture is an archaeological culture from the Paleoindian period of North America, spanning around 13,050 to 12,750 years Before Present (BP).[1] The type site is Blackwater Draw locality No. 1 near Clovis, New Mexico, where stone tools were found alongside the remains of Columbian mammoths in 1929.[2] Clovis sites have been found across North America.[1] The most distinctive part of the Clovis culture toolkit are Clovis points,[3] which are projectile points with a fluted, lanceolate shape. Norse, what is your viewpoint on the Clovis Society? -
Preston writes "This experience happened during an autumn fishing trip for brook trout in one of the most isolated regions of the Adirondack Mountains. To reach this area is no small task. First, you have to cross a reservoir by boat an eight mile ride across water that itself lies nearly forty miles from the nearest town. Once across, you reach the trailhead. From there, the route winds past a series of ponds deeper into the wilderness. The first leg is a 1.2 mile hike to the first lake. From there, you can either hike around it or paddle straight across. My fishing partner and I use Kevlar/carbon-fiber canoes light enough to carry, so if weather allows, we paddle the lake instead. That lake is roughly two miles long. After taking out on the far side, the trail continues another 1.5 miles into the Five Ponds Wilderness. At the second lake, the trail turns north and becomes more of a bushwhack through old-growth timber, with mountains rising on both sides. That stretch is another two miles, heading deeper into the wilderness until you finally reach the destination lake. This area is considered one of the three most isolated locations in the entire Adirondack Park relative to civilization. It's an absolutely stunning place completely secluded, ringed by mountains, with water that looks glacial and holds trophy class brook trout. It's truly one of my favorite places on Earth. We arrived around mid-morning on the first day and immediately started fishing. We caught plenty of fish, and everything felt normal. As evening approached, we gathered firewood, set up our tents, cooked dinner, and sat around talking. At one point, I stood up and did a Bigfoot call followed by a loud tree knock. It was something we used to do as a joke in less remote areas to mess with other campers. My buddy laughed, and we turned in for the night. Sometime in the middle of the night, we were jolted awake by the sound of a large tree falling not far from camp. It scared the hell out of us. The night was completely calm no wind at all. What struck us immediately was the silence. No peeper frogs. No wood frogs. No loons on the lake. No breeze. Just absolute stillness. It felt wrong. We stayed in our tents until around 4:30 a.m., when we were awakened again this time by a rhythmic pounding, like something repeatedly striking a tree. The hits were forceful, evenly spaced, about every three seconds. It continued steadily until after sunrise, coming from the direction of the trailhead. We tried to rationalize it. I suggested a woodpecker, though I didn't believe it. Then I floated the idea that maybe two moose were sparring since it was close to the rut but neither of us bought that either. The consistency and power of the blows didn't feel natural. It also made us rethink the fallen tree from earlier. I wondered if it could've been a beaver, since they're nocturnal and nearby ponds were close but none of it fully added up. We eventually got moving, launched the canoes, and spent the day fishing. We practice catch and release unless a fish is mortally wounded, which unfortunately happened that day. We kept that fish, cooked it for dinner, then went back out on the water until dark. As we paddled back to camp at twilight, I noticed what looked like a dark shape partially concealed behind a massive old-growth pine that leaned out over the lake. It was nearly night, and the woods were pitch black but whatever this was appeared darker than the surrounding darkness. I chalked it up to my imagination and kept paddling. Later, as we were getting ready to crawl into our tents, I noticed lights hovering over the lake. I'd seen these before on a few occasions. There was one main light above the water, and smaller lights would split off from it, drifting away on either side. Eventually, the main light dimmed, and the smaller lights faded out entirely. I'll be honest I'm terrified of aliens, and having seen unexplained things before, I was already on edge. Lying in my tent, I suddenly felt heavy thuds on the ground. I yelled to Casey and grabbed my headlamp, assuming a black bear had wandered into camp. When I stepped out, I found a snowshoe hare at my feet. This was the largest hare I've ever seen and it showed absolutely no fear. It hopped right up to me and just sat there, right next to my boots. We couldn't understand why a wild animal would act that way. It was as if it was seeking shelter. The hare stayed by the fire with us like it was an old friend. Eventually, I went back to my tent and left it there by the fire. Later that night, another tree fell nearby. We lay in our tents talking quietly about it before eventually drifting off. Once again, near dawn, the tree pounding started same cadence, same duration continuing until the sun came up. That day, we headed to the north end of the lake, where a massive dome-shaped mountain rises with cliffs and sweeping views. That end of the lake acts like a natural amphitheater. Casey decided to hike the mountain to try to get cell service and check the weather for our departure. The climb is brutal you have to crawl on your hands and feet for much of it. The mountain rises about 3,000 feet, with sections that feel nearly vertical. On the back side is an exposed cliff overlooking other ponds, and that's where you can sometimes get fleeting reception. While Casey was climbing and calling his wife, I stayed behind fishing along the opposite shoreline, parallel to the mountain. At one point, I saw trees moving on the slope and assumed it was him. I yelled out his nickname. "Is that you, Poop?!" What answered me was one of the most nerve wracking sounds I've ever heard a blood-curdling scream that sounded like a woman being murdered, assaulted, and losing a child all at once. I know that sounds extreme, but it's the only way I can describe it. Worse still, whatever made that sound was moving fast crashing through trees and running across terrain so steep we'd had to crawl up it earlier. The scream shook me to my core. I was convinced Casey was dying. I gathered myself and paddled hard toward the sound, yelling his name. No response. Eventually, he came down the mountain. I confronted him, telling him not to mess around like that I thought he was in serious trouble. He looked at me completely confused and said, "What the hell are you talking about?" He told me he'd been on the far side of the mountain facing another pond. He heard something faint but assumed I'd hooked a big brook trout or was yelling in excitement. That night was deeply unsettling. The woods felt wrong unnaturally silent. It sounded like people talking at the far end of the pond, always just out of earshot, followed by faint, distant screams throughout the night. Morning couldn't come fast enough. We woke again to the same rhythmic tree pounding. This time, I decided to investigate. I headed toward the sound, crossing a creek and climbing a nearby hill. As soon as I reached the area where I believed it was coming from, it stopped instantly. That was it. I packed up my gear and canoe, and we got out of there. About a half mile down the trail on our way out, we passed through a muddy stretch between two hills. In the middle of the mud pit about twenty feet long and twelve feet wide was a single, distinct footprint. It looked as if something had stepped straight down into the mud from the hillside and climbed back out the other side. I took a video, which I later lost when I misplaced the SD card, but I did save a screenshot that I still have. Inside the print was a mature beech leaf typically three to five inches long placing the track somewhere between twelve and fifteen inches in length. I don't know what was going on out there. I've spent my entire life in the woods, often solo, and had been to that lake many times before without issue. I've only returned once since, in 2018. Other hardcore backcountry anglers I know have mentioned strange feelings in that area, though nothing as intense. This wasn't the only odd experience I've had in that wilderness either. Another incident occurred even deeper in the Five Ponds Wilderness among untouched old growth forest stranger still. You couldn't pay me to hike the one way, eleven plus miles back in there again. Something is going on in that section of the Adirondacks. I've heard stories from others that only reinforce that feeling. As a final oddity, on our way out that day, Casey and I ran into two armed military personnel carrying AR-style rifles. They were friendly, walked us back toward their camp, showed us around, and then escorted us partway before we continued to our vehicle. The whole experience was strange, start to finish and it's stayed with me ever since." Listen to the Podcast

Published in The Houston (TX) Post on January 10, 1960. While Tirademan mentioned finding articles about "a Tom Slick expedition," I'm uncertain whether Tirademan found these particular newspaper reports about this specific Pacific northwest expedition financed by Slick. According to an AI-generated answer, which could never be wrong, Slick also financed an expedition to Nepal in the late 1950s. -

How long was CLOVIS FIRST jammed down our throats? How many scientists careers were destroyed for simply reporting the truth? And it wasn’t just a little wrong…. It was vastly grossly WRONG. So if science suppressed vastly older cultures found farther south than Berengia 13000 years ago? For 75 years? What else are they suppressing? They concocted a “narrative” and then they vehemently defended that narrative. This wasn’t science. This was a cult. And people shouldn’t just blindly trust science. It should be questioned repeatedly. And be forced to reconsider the evidence often and adjust hypotheses accordingly. Heckle fish WF video talks about the Egyptian experts loosing their poo about older cultures in Turkey recently found. Why does science do this? And they of course throw shade on bipedal cryptids the world over. Despite more findings that our family tree was more bushy and more recently extant than previously thought. Why? -

In this chilling Bigfoot encounter, a Yurok Tribe member shares eight years of terrifying Sasquatch activity on a remote property in California’s Lost Coast and Humboldt County region. What began as strange noises quickly escalated into rock throwing, tree knocks, massive woven structures, red glowing eyes, and blood-curdling screams just feet from her home. Living alone in a secluded valley with only one road in and out, she describes being followed through the woods, surrounded at night, and experiencing intense moments where something large paced outside her cabin, shook trees, and vocalized in rage. She recounts encounters involving nest-like structures, stick formations, thrown objects, foul odors, and coordinated tapping signals, suggesting multiple Sasquatch operating together. This firsthand account also explores Native American perspectives, long-term Bigfoot habitation, and the psychological toll of prolonged exposure to unexplained entities. From a mysterious lemur sighting to missing wildlife, strange activity inside the home, and feelings of being watched, this episode raises unsettling questions about what truly lives in the forests of Northern California. If you’re interested in Bigfoot sightings, Sasquatch encounters, cryptid investigations, Native American Bigfoot lore, or true paranormal experiences, this episode will stay with you long after it ends. Sasquatch Summerfest 2026 is July 10th through the 11th. It's going to be fantastic and this year, I'll be a speaker!!!
