I'm just not saying it wasn't either. North Carolina toddler who was missing for 3 days says he ‘hung out with a bear’

Sounds like many 411 stories...

Here is what I found on the NC case: Bigfoot curious over woman's children I live in Old Fort, North Carolina. It is an extremely small town with a population of about 800. About a year ago I bought a new house. It's in the woods well away from town (not that 800 people is much of a town)! Right after I moved in I started hearing strange sounds at night. There is "gibberish" that I cannot really understand. It kind of sounds like talking but I can never make out any words. I have heard some screams that are so blood curdling that I've actually gone into the woods with a flashlight to see if a woman was hurt. My children often play outside until nine or 9:30 PM (if it's not a school night!) and they have repeatedly seen something that they call "The Brown Man ". They say he is bigger than a man and he is brown in color and all he does is stand at the edge of my front yard in the tree line and watches them play. They are not afraid because he has never ventured into the yard and if they try to approach him he runs away. Even though I have heard the strange sounds I'd never seen anything until last September. It was about 11 PM and I had to go to the pump house to get my toolbox. The pump house is not actually in my yard it is behind the tree line at the back of my house. The kids were playing a CD really loud and they were dancing around the house (three kids can make a lot of noise!). I stepped out the front door and walked around the corner of the house and there he was. BF was standing not five feet from my sliding glass door. He was standing in the shadows looking in the door like he was totally fascinated with what my children were doing. I was so shocked that I just stopped and stared. He saw me at the same time I saw him. He was about 15 feet from me. There was such a shocked expression on his face that I now think it's funny but then I was kind of shook up. He turned and ran into the woods. I've got no real idea how tall he was. My brother is six foot four inches tall and BF was a lot taller than that. I would guess at least seven feet. He is brown in color (about like a Hershey bar.) I have searched the woods repeatedly and I've never found a footprint but that's not surprising considering the ground cover, leaves, rocks, etc. I've never been "into" BF until that night but I now own a night vision device and I sometimes sit in the backyard after the kids are asleep and just try to see him again. I have seen him at a distance. I just hope to get a photo one day. Note: witness sent me this report that she posted on another board. Source: NCBI

I might be able to go back and find it in my emails, but it will take a while. I'll have a look. I posted it in its entirety, an few years ago, in the old "Blue Forums" on the BFRO website, but those are gone now.

Like I said, it was an email interview. You can choose to believe his story ... or not. I stopped corresponding with him when he requested that I donate video cameras, night vision gear, and money. Like all Mainland Chinese, he figures foreigners are rich and we just plop this stuff out of our butts whenever we want.

I've always believed that in winter sasquatches will move to warmer areas whether that means lower altitude or a form of mini-migration. I do not venture out in the bone-numbing, cold months of winter because I don't believe it will be productive. I'm geared up to do so with a hot tent and woodstove but save my energy for Spring. I'm always game to go out for a day hike in the snow looking for tracks but that's about it this time of year. Come April, the overnights begin in earnest.

This? thats a branch curling back up

Logic can .. has and will again .. be wrong, be mislead by lack of a representative cross-section of information. You might say if it walks like a duck and sounds like a duck, it must be a duck ... but what if it had other features like big floppy ears, a trunk, tusks, and lacked wings? Maybe that funny waddle and sound are completely taken out of context. The fact of the matter is, at least to the best of my knowledge, we have no evidence of a coverup. We have claims, second-hand stories, innuendo, assertion of what "must be", but not one single bit of tangible evidence for anyone to review. Less, even, than evidence of bigfoot where at least we have track casts and footprints anyone can see on the 'net or, if they make the effort, in person. We don't even have that to support the notion of conspiracy. We have nothing but BELIEFS. That's no better than the woo-bigfooters have to support their claims. I suggest that rather than trying to make a mountain out of a possibly imaginary mole-hill, we should focus on substantiating the mole-hill first. In other words, wait until the existence of this purported form is established, not just claimed, before reading stuff into it. MIB

We know for a fact that Lyle Laverty was directly involved in the Patterson-Gimlin film event as a witness to trace evidence at the site, was among the first people in the scene after the filming event, took photos of the footprints himself, was a government official at the time, and eventually rose through the ranks of government to a near cabinet level position: http://jkagroup.com/about/lyle-laverty-bio.htm# There are also indications that Laverty had his own sighting near Hyampom, and found a nest near the PG film site at Scorpion Creek/Lonesome Ridge.

But you wouldnt say a word. Which is your right to do so. Most habituators love the lime light and notoriety of being "experts" right up until you ask for evidence and then they act like you punched them in the mouth.

Here are a few of the stone tools and weapons that I find......a buddy has my prettier flint stuff. I used to think the stone tools predated the pretty and finally crafted flint items, but not so sure anymore, at least in my specific area. Now I am thinking that the craftsmen and their skills were lost in some type of disaster, be it natural or warfare,. The skilled folks who made the good stuff weren't around anymore, and the survivors had to do their best with their skill level & available materials. I find most of the good flint stuff in certain areas in and around the old village. The stone tools are scattered around the hills, and they seem to be telling a more disparate story. Make no mistake though, the crude stone weapons I find will do the job no problem......check out the big Axe, you can see where the handle use to attach, it's really heavy, and would take a very strong person to swing that one......a real skull crusher.

Hey S&S/BfGV - First, as a fellow North Carolinian I want to welcome you to the forum. I cannot explain what you experienced but I promise you it was not intentional. If you ever get banned here, you will know it and you will also get warnings so it really will not be a surprise. One thing to keep in mind if you stick around, many if not most of the people in this forum have had some kind of experience with BFs. The collected knowledge about BF here is really quite impressive. I would love for you to contribute to it. My only recommendation is you might want to exhibit a little bit of patience and a little less attitude. Just my 2 cents.

If you actually had confidence in your conviction then you would have no need to defend your position constantly. Perhaps a change of hobby would help. Eating more beans for example.

I like Knight Island a lot. It was our favorite black bear hunt. We would set shrimp pots and eat like kings, then idle along the shore in each bay and cove on the island looking for bears. The very southern tip of the island is where we would always find both bears and halibut. The grasses always greened up there first. We’ve seen some real pigs there. There’s also a good 120’ or so shelf around that southern tip that attracts halibut in the spring. That’s where I caught this one while waiting for a bear we’d seen come back out of the forest (he never came out again, though).

I had heard of these expeditions. Is there any documented story about the shooting incident?
