Guest alford anthony Posted March 4, 2012 Posted March 4, 2012 I would have to say HELL YES! I saw my first BF documentry at a young age and have feared them from that day foreward.I guess we fear what we dont understand. In my introduction to the BFF I told stories of weird things that happened to me,my girlfriend and friends and several occasions.At that time I didnt think of BF. Then I had never heard of sightings of BF in central Illinois.I recently learned of BF ENCOUNTERS in central Illinois (sangamon county) the same cemetary where I now beleive we had BF encounters.I have also been an avid hunter from a very young child.I stated on another topic that I would shoot one if it were in my sights,but if the truth be known I would freeze up and if were to see me while in my sights I would prolly run ( NO BS - RUN) YEP SCARED If anyone is interested in the stories in ILLINOIS go to the BFRO then click on the state of Illinois on the map then go to Sangamon County. The stories are in Chatham,the Sugar Creek Covered Bridge and Cumberland Cemetary.The cemetary is where my stories are from and the other ones are from the end of last year.My stories happened 25 years ago,I repplied to an earlier topic on Cemetaries right here on the BFF. Thanks for readin my long winded replies !!! aa
Guest INorthCarolinaNow Posted March 4, 2012 Posted March 4, 2012 (edited) I like being alone in the woods it's very comforting Me too. Not being alone in the woods, however... Other people have made me more nervous than anything in the woods. I would much rather cross paths with a bear, or even a lion provided I see it first, than some of the people I've run across. Thankfully, those instances have very rarely occurred. ETA: I didn't answer the poll. Theoretically, no I'm not scared, but in certain circumstances I'm sure I would be.

Guest OntarioSquatch Posted April 22, 2012 Posted April 22, 2012 Interesting topic. For me the short answer would be a no. I would gladly take my chance with any Sasquatch (ok maybe not any, lol).
Guest UPs Posted April 23, 2012 Posted April 23, 2012 I have lived for many weeks at my remote cabin alone each year, completely off grid and out of communication. I am simply not afraid of anything, however, after doing a few things to try and entice a bf to come for a visit, I let my campfire burn down and got into the loft to read. After the 3rd rock hit the side of the cabin, I was not only fearful, but petrified and would not move from the bed. I have no curtains and the cabin is lit by gas lamps which makes it a perfect place to watch from outside. For some reason, I fell asleep which is not what I expected I would do. The next day, I packed up and left early. When I went back, there were marks on the logs where the rocks made marks and I also found 3 rocks laying on the ground a few feet away from that wall. If that happens again, my mind is now prepared for it, but at the time, it caught me completely off guard. My own reaction surprised me more than anything. UPs
Guest Posted April 23, 2012 Posted April 23, 2012 Like Jodie said, I would prefer not to be alone if I were to encounter one (even though that's who it turned out the first time), as a group of friends would be a lot better. Despite people saying that they are shy and non dangerous, I can't help but think of how powerful gorillas and other apes are compared to use, and then multiplying that size by three. I don't want to imagine the injuries (If I were to survive) that would occur.
Guest Posted April 25, 2012 Posted April 25, 2012 I'm not scared. Apparently bigfoot doesn't live in my area. If I could afford to move I wouldn't either.
Guest WIWolfman Posted April 26, 2012 Posted April 26, 2012 Yes. I honestly think that any of us who were alone in the wilderness would be scared, especially if the creature was in defense mode! That initial jolt of adrenaline and paralyzation would take over. I view the woods as a very mysterious place that gives me the creeps to some extent.

Haven't seen one yet and can't wait. READ ENCOUNTER REPORTS. Here is yet another reason. They tell you, don't worry, hope you see one.
FarArcher Posted June 18, 2017 Posted June 18, 2017 Yep. Even though mine could have torn me apart - and didn't - I fear their mass, stealth, strength, and speed. 1
Guest DWA Posted June 18, 2017 Posted June 18, 2017 Let's just say that my last post is *conditional on an encounter.* ;-)
wiiawiwb Posted June 18, 2017 Posted June 18, 2017 Fear was probably not the optimal word to chose. I voted yes in that I fear anything that can potentially kill me. Does "fear" ever rise to a level where it impedes what I do and how I do it? It hasn't yet. Am I afraid to go out in the woods? Oh my god no. I backpack and hike alone most of the time. I have a healthy respect for sasquatch and am ever aware and constantly monitoring my surroundings when in the woods.
spacemonkeymafia Posted June 19, 2017 Posted June 19, 2017 How about a fourth choice? Sometimes Yes, sometimes No. Depending on the circumstances at the time. I've had times when I was no more frightened as if a deer were there. Other times I fled like a T Rex was after me.
7.62 Posted June 19, 2017 Posted June 19, 2017 I know some members say they have seen one , I never have. The reference I can use if I would be scared is a person I know that I believe has seen one very close up at night . He hit it's face with the beam of a flashlight . He told me he had never felt that kind of fear before . It didn't chase him or advance on him but he said the encounter changed him for ever.
