Hello!  My name is Jeff Smith.  I have been interested in the subject of Bigfoot for only a couple of years, but I’m catching up quickly.  I haven’t had any sort of experience or encounter myself, and I’m not 100% sure they exist, but I believe in the *possibilty* they exist.  I am one of the co-hosts for a relatively new podcast called Sasquatch Tracks.

Hello From south florida.

I live in a marsh/swamp area. Ive always seen things in the woods, things i cant explain. When i was a kid a seen a set of eyes peering out of the brush across the street from my home like 20 feet into the heavy brush. but as of 3 days ago i have a real bigfoot problem. Im hoping i can gather some information here before proceeding further in my exploration and discoveries.

 

ive been told to talk to wes from sasquatch chronicles, thom cantrell,  Howtohunt, and a few others. Im not sure where to start. 

I do have a photo of a skunkape, hes about 4-5ft into the heavy brush at my current house, laying in what i discovered to be a nest. There are several nests in my area, so im thinking there are several skunkapes, also given the local BFRC has several reportings in my area all matching the same discription.

Howdy. First post. Located in Rochester, NY, 50 year old computer guy, by trade, hunter, drummer, 4 kids, like to camp. Sagittarius.

 

That said, you don't think of Rochester as a Bigfoot hotbed and maybe it's not, but there are local legends and recent sightings.

 

Surprised it's not on the forum, but Klipnocky state forest south of Rochester has a legend of the hairy women. Started as a Native American story, was anglicised in the early 1900s to refer to a group of kids who fled into the woods after their house burned down and lived wild, but is clearly a bastardized bigfoot story. Especially because sightings continue.

 

In fact, while I haven't seen with my own eyes, right near that state forest I have heard branches break, whoops and yells, something that sounded like language, and seen large swings in deer population that don't seem to correlate to poaching or coyotes.

 

After ten years of hunting and saying these things to hunting buddies, finally the patriarch of the group (who had teased me for a decade with "you are the scariest thing in these woods" and "there's nothing there, plus you're armed..." Was spring turkey hunting in Rattlesnake hill state forest and had something hairy stand up behind him after he had been sitting for hours calling turkey. It stood, turned and walked away much faster than a man could have, and with less noise but not entirely silently. He figured it had been there silently sitting about 20 yards behind him for hours before it decided to bail. It wasnt a turkey hunter, it had no weapon. And he described it as "loped away through the brush".

 

So there you go. I continue to keep my eyes abd ears open while in tbe woods and look forward to learning.

 

As for my opinion? In all of the fossil record of human kind, at least up to the last ice age, our branch has had relatives along side, so why not now? I assume there's camps in bigfoot enthusiast circles I would be in the "human but not sapiens sapiens" camp. Maybe two steps off modern human. Mentally something on the order of animal but not human intelligence, language but like a chimp, more programming less training if you get my drift. And not in the supernatural, glowing eyes, disappears, other dimension camps, assuming that's a thing.

 

There you go. Good to meet everyone and look forward to discussion in tbe future.

Regards,

Doodler

Hello from middle Georgia! I've always had an interest in bigfoot despite never actually having an encounter. Curiosity has led me here to hopefully scratch my sasquatch itch! Lol anyways, looking forward to some interesting conversation!

Hello from the Florida Panhandle!

 

I've been a firm believer in the existence of the creature named in this site since I was a youngster playing in the palmetto scrub of central Florida, and the encounter that started my interest (although I didn't have a name for it in 1960) will be outlined in the first post I can make, after this, and after I learn my way around a little better.

Suffice to say that whatever it was that ran me and my friends out of that sugar sand and palmetto scrub patch probably contributed to my premature gray hair.

Welcome to the Forum, Treebeard431.

If you're from the Florida Panhandle, I'm guessing you're probably familiar with the Stacy Brown Thermal footage that was taken near Quincy, Florida.

We look forward to reading about your encounter.

Welcomed to the Forums, Lukeyy96.

The Finding Bigfoot show went to Australia several years ago. One person related an incident from the 90's when he was sleeping in his car after star gazing and said he heard growling and then his car began shaking so much he was getting tossed around. He later noticed two dents on his roof.

Welcome to the Forum, Doodler.

That was an interesting story about the experience the head of your hunting group had while turkey hunting. I can just imagine what went through his mind after seeing something like that after hours of sitting. A turkey hunter in LeFlore Co. OK had a somewhat similar experience several years ago. He was sitting just below the top of a pretty small hill and out of the blue, a bipedal hairy figure appeared just a little past the bottom of the hill where he was sitting; it walked along the bottom of the hill and disappeared. He was so unnerved he said he's never hunted there again.
