Lamplight Posted February 14, 2020 Posted February 14, 2020 Forgot I posted in this thread! To answer a few questions: both times we were camping in the car but not in campgrounds. We pretty much always goes as far as possible on forest/logging roads and camp. However, the more impressive handprint occurred not too far from a campground. It could have been a person but they would have to be enormous and have muddy hands. The attached picture is that handprint. The tiny, clean spots below it are my fingerprints. I have pretty average sized hands. This print was found after my wife was touched by something through the car window the night before. Forgot to mention: the touching incident occurred on logging land near Yacolt, WA. The other handprint and mysterious sound happened waaay back on a forest road near Mt. Baker. The rock throwing happened on Quinault Ridge on the Olympic Peninsula. And the possible footprint was found at Squire's Lake near Alger, WA. I have my doubts about that one due to the popularity of the trail and it's proximity to to civilization. 1 2

I can't even begin to say just how creepy this sounds . If it was a man in my opinion it's even more disturbing . To have all this happen while sleeping in your car is very very unsettling to say the least. I hope you go armed . Edited February 15, 2020 by 7.62 3
ShadowBorn Posted February 15, 2020 Moderator Posted February 15, 2020 @Lamplight You have some very special finger prints there. The finger print ridges are not like us humans and are more straight then ours. That is the first thing that I started looking at and thought that they are very special. Were able to get some one knowledgeable to lift those finger prints of your window. This way they could be saved and could be compared with other apes/primates. Is it not Chillcut the person who I think his name is the one who does this kind a of stuff? That's some good stuff. 1

Wow, that's both cool and creepy! I've seen bigfoot fingerprints before, and they look just like those. Glad you got a photo! Update. July 5, 2020 = Our FLIR sighting in the Oregon Cascades. 2 bigfoots, about 100 yards or less in the woods, doing the typical tree peek thing. I very clearly saw it lean out from behind the tree - shoulder, head, shoulder. We've been past this spot often, on our way to other locations. We got it on FLIR, but it's shaky compared to what I saw. I had my arm settled on the open door of my truck, and panned around, very steady. I have zero doubt about what I saw. When we recorded, NorthWind was standing recording with the FLIR camera, and it's much shakier. Then, in October 2020, we were at a lake, and something stared across a river at us from inside an 8-foot-tall culvert filled with 4 inches of running water, while we stared back at it wondering who or what it was. We hurried over to that side, but by the time we got there, it was long gone. I count it as a daylight sighting, but I can't prove it, of course. I didn't think to photograph it, and I kick myself daily about that. We've found hundreds of footprints, dozens of track lines, and all the other things that bigfoots supposedly do. Can't say with 100% certainty that its bigfoots doing all this, since I've never seen them do it, but we hope to! We're slowly accumulating gear to that end, and you can see it all on our sub-forum here. We are out there nearly every weekend searching and exploring this mystery. We have a dozen research spots and are methodically gathering data from all this and it's beginning to pay off. I just wish more people actually cared. I love hearing everyone's stories.

Popular Post Hoekler73 Posted February 2, 2022 Popular Post Posted February 2, 2022 I had a sighting when I was about 13 years old. I've also had several class B experiences as well, but ill just touch on the actual sighting here... This is part of an email I sent to Wes Germer before appearing on Sasquatch Chronicles several years ago.... “I have decided to share my experiences after many years of remaining silent on the topic of Sasquatch. It is important to tell you that I am believe in science, and I think that most things can be explained logically. I have a four year science degree, and grew up hunting and fishing. I have been hiking, camping, and backpacking in remote areas for over 20 years. One could say that the outdoors are my bliss, and I am quite at home in nature. I have had things happen in my life that I cannot explain using science and logic. I have told very few people about these experiences. The odd thing is most of these experiences have occurred in an area of the United States where Bigfoot is not well known to be in residence. All of these experiences occurred within the Southern Tier of New York south of Buffalo. My Family’s Property When I was just a kid, I spent a lot of time at a cabin my Grandfather owned. He had purchased the land (5 acres) from a friend who had 300 acres. The property could only be accessed by driving up a common driveway off a seasonal road. The property was on a hilltop above a small town, and bordered another 600 acre plot of land left to a local church when a local resident passed away. The church property was an old, abandoned farm. It was only used once a year for a picnic area, and otherwise had been abandoned to local wildlife. My grandfather’s property, and surrounding area, was comprised of dense forest and several large fields. We would often take long hikes after dinner, and I always loved to see wild game in these natural settings. We would often spot a half dozen deer or turkey in the fields near the cabin. My grandfather would always carry a rifle or shotgun with him, and had offered an explanation that he sometimes saw wild dogs. In 17 years, I never saw one dog or dog track on that property… but I am getting a bit ahead of myself. My sighting, as best I can figure, happened about 1986. One evening after eating dinner, we decided to walk over to the church property and check the fields to see what wildlife we could spot. The wind was blowing in our favor, and my grandfather explained that animals would not catch our scent. He was always teaching me, and telling me stories about his past outdoor adventures. He was a very accomplished hunter and outdoorsman… he taught me a lot growing up. I remember the wind blowing in our faces as we crossed the property line and headed up past an old abandoned house toward the barn that stood at the top of a small hill. We followed the dirt road around the buildings past a small pond toward a large field behind the barn. You couldn’t see past the barn until you crested the hill, and I was eager to spot a few whitetail deer or a few tom turkey. I was not prepared for what I would see, nor will I ever forget it even after 30 years. We reached the top of the small hill beyond the barn, and I scanned the field. The meadow was perhaps 200 yards wide, and 400 yards deep. My eyes were immediately drawn to the far side of the field. Something dark stood in the field, maybe 20 feet out of the tree line. It was big, standing on two feet, and covered in hair. My mind raced as I tried to identify what I was looking at, but I drew a complete blank. I could see the hair waving on the arms and head as the breeze caught it. It was far too big to be a man, and I never questioned if it could be one for a second. My mind told me it wasn’t anything I had ever seen before. My arm raised toward the creature, pointing toward it. “What is that?” I asked my grandfather. He was already looking in that direction, and replied “I don’t know”. This thing had not seen us, it was facing toward the far end of the field. Over the years, I have come to the conclusion that it was searching the field for something, perhaps a deer or some small animal. After 10-15 seconds, I saw the torso and head shift in our direction. The shoulders squared up to face us and that’s when I realized it has seen us. After a few seconds it turned, took three or four steps, and disappeared into the woods on the opposite side of the field. It did not seem to be in a particular hurry at all. The second it got into the trees you couldn’t see it anymore. Maybe it was because I was a kid, or because it was so far away, but I was not scared at the time. It never made a sound. It was there, and then in a few seconds it was gone. I have never seen anything like it before or since that day. Normally, our hikes were quite long, and were composed of long circuits around the area. That evening, my grandfather decided it was time to head back the second it disappeared, and we retraced our exact steps back the way we came all the way to the cabin. I believe my grandfather knew much more than he ever told be about that property, and Sasquatch in general. The last comment I will make about this event is that I never thought it was a Bigfoot until recently, because it did not resemble the creature in the Patterson Gimlin film. It was tall, maybe seven or eight feet but not massive like that. It was much lankier, although the frame was big with shoulders wider than a man. 1 4
BC witness Posted February 2, 2022 Posted February 2, 2022 Great story. The distance, and the fact that it didn't seem scary to you, mirrors my own sighting in about '78, here in BC. 2
Patterson-Gimlin Posted February 3, 2022 Posted February 3, 2022 Thanks for sharing. All of you. I agree with Madison .l enjoy the shared experiences and stories.

This reminds me of when we were camping near the Alleghany National Forest... My wife and I, along with a second couple, were sharing a 3 room tent. About 20 minutes after we went to bed something began pushing on the outer wall of the tent. We looked outside and saw nothing. A few minutes later, it happened again and we unzipped the window flap and shined a flashlight around again... nothing. Unbelievablyit happened a third time, before things quieted down for the night. I can't say the experience was bigfoot related, but we didn't hear anything approaching or leaving. Whatever it was, it was silent and the whole experience was very odd all things considered. 2
Catmandoo Posted February 4, 2022 Posted February 4, 2022 ^^^^^ 'Window flap' activity: if the window flap is on the exterior and anchors at the top, and you have an excellent bug sctreen, insert metal or plastic rods into the lower margin of the window flap for weight. Leave the window flap unzipped. You will be posturing for the 'window flap lifting and dropping manuever'. The weighted lower margin helps to make 'the drop' noisey. You will wake up. Depending on the window height above ground, a visitor could be human, animal or other. Bears will sniff a new tent that has 'new tent smell'.

I set them up with attachment points via hook and loop tape. Hit the remote and freak out a dark adapted animal and create small area lighting for observation or leaving the tent during darkness. 1
MIB Posted February 5, 2022 Moderator Posted February 5, 2022 ^^^^ One of my GF's friends (since college) lives nearby. Very nice person but she's a bit of a .. geek .. so much so that she has her white mini-van decked out like a Star Trek shuttlecraft including graphics and stickers on the pain. It's a great camping rig .. if you're about 5'1" tall. She's got 6-8 motion sensor lights that mount to the car magnetically at night so anything / anyone approaching her vehicle gets lit up. They work. The stray cats around the campground we stayed at last fall kept setting them off .. they're very bright and rather irritating for those of us tent camping nearby. MIB 1

That's not a bad idea, but the tent want new and the nylon material flaps are inside the tent, with nylon mesh on the exterior. (The dual zippers are on the side with velcro) we would unzip them and look out, but the noise gave whatever it was time to move off....

MIB I'd be attacking trail cams to the sides of the van lol. I've often considered doing this on cabins or tents we stay in to record activity... worth a shot right?
