What happens when a 19-year-old hunter sets up a tree stand in the quiet woods of Kittery, Maine — only to encounter something that tears it to pieces days later? In this chilling episode, we sit down with Tim, an outdoorsman from New Hampshire, who shares the full story of a 1989 encounter that still haunts him to this day. You’ll hear what it’s like to have something upright, massive, and loud walk up behind you in the twilight woods — and what it feels like to come back later and find your entire setup shredded, with a single reddish-brown hair left behind. And in the second half of the episode, we’re joined by a Georgia resident who lived at ground zero during one of the most controversial moments in Bigfoot history — what most people consider to be the 2008 "Bigfoot in a freezer" hoax. But what he shares isn’t about a hoax — it’s about what happened in Rex, Georgia, when the media storm descended, armed men filled the woods, and the neighborhood knew exactly what was living in the creek. From laughing hunters tangled in vines to government officials shutting everything down — this is the side of the story you’ve never heard before. 🗣️ Share Your Story Had a Bigfoot encounter or strange experience?

I missed this as it wasn’t replied to me. I just want you to know that while we may disagree sometimes? You’re a valued member here and I am sorry to hear your thinking of walking away. There is absolutely no ill feelings on my end bud! I hope you stay. 👍 Dear Lord! Absolutely not! 🤢🤮

Sasquatch? Or wild man? What's the difference? "Embellished stories"?

So I'll ask again: So "wild man" reports can be semi-feral Homo sapiens even in sasquatch range? I might be able to produce a pic of a naked professor. Do you give me permission to post it here?

Correct. But DNA from the remains of a creature that was believed to be an almas, and which also fit the description of an almas, was analyzed in not one, but two peer reviewed scientific studies, and it was determined in both that she was a homo sapien. So we know with a very high degree of certainty (and certainly scientifically) that the 6'6" tall female "almas" known as Zana of Abkhazia was a homo sapien with a case of hypertrychosis. I'm not sure what you're referring to. In the case of Zana, again, not one, but two peer reviewed analyses of her DNA were performed. The question of her species, however the odds, was homo sapien, even though she fit the description of an almas perfectly. That is a solid scientific determination. Moreover, I can continue to pull up articles of "wild men" in the New World that are described like feral humans. There are lots of them. Prepare thyself......... Fact: Feral people have existed throughout the history of mankind. Fact: "Wild man" can describe a feral human just as well (if not better) than it can describe a sasquatch.........whatever that is. Opinion: Reports of sasquatches (or almas) might actually be sightings of feral people.............or vice versa.............just like people can misidentify a bear for a sasquatch..........or vice versa.

Did you read the article you linked? Yes. A naked professor running around in the Sierras in the 1930s, is still a homo sapien.🤷🏻‍♂️ Show me a picture.

The people of Tkhina believed she was an almas because she fit the description of an almas quite perfectly. Who are you to proclaim them incorrect? Let us review the definition of an almas yet again: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Almas_(folklore) How does the description not fit that? Are you now going to accuse the villagers of "embellishing" again?

So "wild man" reports can be semi-feral Homo sapiens even in sasquatch range? Your winning answer hasn't arrived yet. Let's see if your limb can continue to hold you...........

We do not know. We can't prove or disprove anything. We don't have a confirmed Alma to test any more than we have a confirmed Bigfoot to test. We need to get away from this weird human quirk of preferring an unsupportable answer over an unanswered question. We can't have science when our personal dogma is stopping us from looking at answers. We need to be careful about investing ego in answers we really can't back up with facts. This aspect of the BF community, here and elsewhere, is wearing me out and truly tempting me to walk away.

I don’t know what an Almas is or is not. But either way it’s not connected to Zana. Who we know was a Homo Sapien. I will give the villagers the benefit of the doubt and say misidentification.

I am gonna go out on a limb….and say that it was a nutty professor. What did I win?

In this case, reports of a wildman are in prime sasquatch territory, not prime Neanderthal/Denisovan range. Was it a sasquatch, a feral homo sapien, another species of primate, or was it a government coverup?

Join me this weekend as we celebrate the life of Dr. Jeff Meldrum and his impact on the subject of Sasquatch. I will be joined by many of his friends who come on to share their memories of him. Listen to the Podcast

So are almas a false myth, another primate species, feral humans, or yet another human species?

There is no conflict! Zana was NEVER a SASQUATCH. We have no photo of Zana. We have embellished tales of Zana that you have somehow folded into the mystery of Sasquatch in North America. Apples and oranges a whole Pacific Ocean away. Zana was a plain old Homo Sapien that was dealt a dirty hand in life.

Correct! She was also an almas. She can be both. I believe MIB posted it in a way that illustrates it better: We have a conflict between biology and anthropology. That problem must ge dealt with later by the anthropologists. The biologists will determine this, just as they did with Zana.

Its because she was a feral Homo Sapien. The wolf boy of India was also a Homo Sapien. We have been over this many times. Khwit is a Homo Sapien. We have his picture.

Funny. I never mentioned rockets or nuclear weapons. Just a 1.8 million year old hand axe. Typical Homo genus behavior right? You want your cake and eat it too. It’s a Homo sapien all the way until it isn't. Yes this thread is about DNA. DNA we DO NOT have. So speculate away with all the red herrings you want!🤷🏻‍♂️

Hello Hunster and I'm glad that you had an experience in the mountains of California in 1972. Have you written up your experience so four members can read it? Out of curiosity can you tell me what happened in the Sierra Nevada mountains?

Fell for this one hook, line, and sinker. Stunning that people were doing this before Bigfoot was even a thing. Published in The Alexandria (NE) News on May 08, 1880. For shame. (See Tirademan's Archive for the story from Colorado that likely is referred to herein.)

This is another of your regularly delivered red herrings. You falsely equate "human" to "Homo" then say if it doesn't build rockets and nuclear weapons, it isn't human thus isn't Homo. This thread is about DNA .. look at the title. What matters in this context is what a **biologist** says. Anthropology, in this context, can go pound sand.

Welcome to the forums BigToe, MRVere1964, and Rodney.

Howdy, my name is Rodney I live in Eastern Kentucky and I’m in my fifties, I’ve been interested in Bigfoot since “In search of” aired the Bigfoot episode. I’ve never seen or heard one but very interested in the topic. Thanks for accepting me.

Either that, or a lot of French soldiers went insane after they lost a war to Germany. This report was published in The Red Cloud (NE) Chief on February 12, 1880. If it sounds familiar, that's likely because a Utah paper reported essentially the same story in 1883, but placed it about forty miles northwest in New York - that story is already uploaded here.
