I was camping in the Leavenworth WA area and ran into a person that was a multiple BF encounter witness. All of it was in California in the Sierras. He was 15 feet away from his first encounter. He was hunting, and sat down with his back against a tree and had a snack and some water when he surprised a juvenile BF who hid behind a bush, and when he heard a noise behind the bush reached for his rifle and the juvenile stood up. It was his height, about 5'9", and very close. They stared eye to eye for about 30 seconds and the juvenile walked away. Face and skin gray, light hair on face, ears evident, shoulders wider than his and very muscular shoulders tapering down to a thin waist, long arms down nearly to his knees, and muscular butt. The entire body, arms and legs were covered with short black fur. As the juvenile walked away, two large BF on the ridge about, stepped out from behind trees and stood in view. They were more brown, 9 and 8 foot tall respectively, and covered with much longer hair. When the juvenile was safely away and behind cover, the two larger ones just stepped back behind the trees and were gone. This was his hunting area and in the next few years had more encounters which included rock throwing, vocalizations, and he was zapped a couple of times. He reported in one instance, he heard the BF walking between two trees on a ridge, and the only thing he saw was a predator like visual disturbance where the view of the background was distorted. He was part Native American and his grandmother often talked about her fathers experience with the BF in the area. The great grandfather would go to the BF camp, sit and smoke tobacco with the BF there on a regular basis. Anyway an interesting guy who seemed genuine, but I am only reporting what he told me. I do not know him personally so have no way to vet anything he said. I told him he should write a book but he said he had no idea how to do that.

Thanks for that post JDL; it made my day! From the town of Table Rock, you are only about 15 crow miles from where the "bird bath" incident occurred over in Taney County. As for the "hidden slate" deal, I laughed out loud. Folks that haven't messed with these boogers just can't comprehend or believe how danged smart they are and how mischievous - or as a lot of old folks down South say, "devilish" - they really are. I fully believe that some of their actions are simply to gain people's attention and let them know they are around. If people don't get riled up about their pranks they understand those folks are out to do them no harm and will continue to interact with them in a more civil and less aggravating manner. But, they are still going to steal food stuff from you when they can. Not out of malice; just making a living. Oh, by the way; if you are fishing up there for bass, PM me and I'll tell you a bait that has been "wearing them out" down here in central AR. Regards

I mean, who knows CM? Nothing is off the table until it is, I say. Our imaginations are not deep enough to envision it all. That is what reality is for!
