1 00:00:06,320 --> 00:00:10,519 Speaker 1: I'm now sixty three and I live in Central British Columbia, Canada. 2 00:00:11,359 --> 00:00:16,239 When I was fifteen, I lived in Toronto, Ontario. I 3 00:00:16,280 --> 00:00:21,399 attended the Canadian National Exhibition. They had an exhibit of 4 00:00:21,399 --> 00:00:25,440 what I later learned was the Minnesota Iceman. It was 5 00:00:25,559 --> 00:00:30,559 frozen in a freezer. The face and partial front was exposed. 6 00:00:31,480 --> 00:00:34,960 Signs were everywhere for me not to touch, do not 7 00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:39,000 touch was everywhere. I was a rebellious teen and I 8 00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:43,079 ignored the signs and touched it anyway. Immediately the hair 9 00:00:43,159 --> 00:00:46,039 went up on the back of my neck. It felt 10 00:00:46,079 --> 00:00:50,719 like semi frozen meat, like a roast. I knew it 11 00:00:50,799 --> 00:00:56,200 was not latex or rubber. This started my interest in bigfoot, 12 00:00:56,479 --> 00:00:59,039 and after much reading, I had a good knowledge of 13 00:00:59,119 --> 00:01:03,520 the subject. That was all back in the mid nineteen seventies. 14 00:01:04,719 --> 00:01:07,680 In the year two thousand, I was a prospector and 15 00:01:07,719 --> 00:01:10,400 my interest at the time was searching for the lost 16 00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:15,239 lemon mine. I met an aging prospector from Crow's Nest 17 00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:18,920 Pass who had a sample of ore with silver in it. 18 00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:22,280 He directed me to a valley on the border of 19 00:01:22,359 --> 00:01:26,079 Alberta and British Columbia, and with my father in law, 20 00:01:26,159 --> 00:01:29,879 we made the trip into the valley. We made camp 21 00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:32,959 the first night and continued the next day into a 22 00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:36,959 bowl high up into the crest of the rockies. I 23 00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:39,840 climbed further with the sample in my hand, while my 24 00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:44,640 father in law waited in the bowl below. Upon reaching 25 00:01:44,719 --> 00:01:47,680 near the crest of the mountains, there was a huge cave. 26 00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:51,879 The opening was twelve foot by thirty foot wide. At 27 00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:56,079 least this place took my breath away. I was in 28 00:01:56,239 --> 00:01:59,200 awe at the size of the cave and the colors. 29 00:02:00,079 --> 00:02:05,719 Everything was green inside in all indifferent shades. My attention 30 00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:10,199 was drawn to several horizontal tunnels into the rock that 31 00:02:10,319 --> 00:02:14,000 in itself is not strange, but on closer inspection, each 32 00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:19,159 hole had been lined with dry animal hides. The hides 33 00:02:19,199 --> 00:02:21,879 appeared to be deer and were curled, like when you 34 00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:25,360 throw a hide in your yard and it dries. For 35 00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:29,000 years I pondered the thought of why the hides were there. 36 00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:33,080 These hides would have to be replaced from time to time. 37 00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:36,680 Rodents or insects would eat the hides, especially through the 38 00:02:36,719 --> 00:02:40,520 winter months. In later years I came to the conclusion 39 00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:44,199 that this was indeed a Bigfoot cave. What else would 40 00:02:44,199 --> 00:02:48,280 have that kind of intelligence. I planned to return, but 41 00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:51,719 I never did. This cave is not easy to access, 42 00:02:51,759 --> 00:02:54,560 and I believe the Bigfoot would know of your approach 43 00:02:54,719 --> 00:02:58,319 long before you arrived, and your window of escape would 44 00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:03,240 be nonexistent. I once heard a bigfoot researcher person say 45 00:03:03,439 --> 00:03:06,960 only one sighting or footprint has to be real for 46 00:03:07,039 --> 00:03:13,639 their existence to be real. My ten year old son 47 00:03:13,719 --> 00:03:16,000 and I were walking around a two hundred and fifty 48 00:03:16,039 --> 00:03:20,400 acre state park in Connecticut with our dog. People don't 49 00:03:20,439 --> 00:03:24,759 often relate Connecticut with sasquatch, and neither did I until 50 00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:29,479 I had my first experience several years ago. Since then, 51 00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:33,199 I have spotted or seen signs or heard sasquatch around 52 00:03:33,199 --> 00:03:37,560 me on walking trails, sometimes on popular ponds, and even 53 00:03:37,639 --> 00:03:41,800 in my own backyard. I realized now that I had 54 00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:45,479 heard them and seen signs all throughout my childhood, but 55 00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:48,599 I didn't know what I was hearing or seeing. But 56 00:03:48,719 --> 00:03:53,879 I know now there are places in Connecticut, which overall 57 00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:57,599 is heavily forested, where sasquatch could go to get away 58 00:03:57,639 --> 00:04:01,560 from most humans if they wanted to. However, all four 59 00:04:01,639 --> 00:04:05,759 seasons I have seen them here locally in south central Connecticut, 60 00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:09,479 thirty minutes from the shore and smack dab next to 61 00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:13,800 a bustling college town in my town is a well 62 00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:17,120 known apple and fruit orchard not far from me, where 63 00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:21,079 I suppose any sasquatch would grab a snack. I get 64 00:04:21,079 --> 00:04:25,000 the feeling that, like coadies and bears, maybe sasquatch have 65 00:04:25,199 --> 00:04:30,000 some codependence on humans and our garden crops or garbage. 66 00:04:30,079 --> 00:04:33,600 The day of this encounter, I did not see the sasquatch, 67 00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:38,800 but I saw what I believe one did. My son 68 00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:41,120 and I were out for a walk in the manicured 69 00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:44,639 park of this two hundred and fifty acre area is 70 00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:47,920 a place with a river and a swimming hole, sandy beaches, 71 00:04:48,319 --> 00:04:52,800 charcoal pits, and picnic tables. These things only take up 72 00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:55,560 a tiny fraction of the park, which has two natural 73 00:04:55,639 --> 00:05:01,040 waterfalls and dozens of hiking trails. Son and I, along 74 00:05:01,079 --> 00:05:03,839 with our dog. We're walking along the river and crossed 75 00:05:03,879 --> 00:05:06,279 over a bridge to the other side where no one 76 00:05:06,399 --> 00:05:10,680 really ever goes. There's an overgrown trail there that winds 77 00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:14,240 through the woods right alongside the river and then across 78 00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:17,160 from the river. At a certain point, a high steep 79 00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:21,959 ridge rises up above. I've always been leary of going 80 00:05:21,959 --> 00:05:25,120 to this park. I've seen sasquatch in this park on 81 00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:28,040 the opposite side, but I imagine first that they're all 82 00:05:28,079 --> 00:05:31,560 over the park to begin with, and especially this spot 83 00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:36,199 because there's less human foot traffic. Plus this spot just 84 00:05:36,319 --> 00:05:40,879 has a creepy feel. With that said, I was curious 85 00:05:40,959 --> 00:05:44,199 to enter the woods just a few feet from the field, 86 00:05:44,399 --> 00:05:46,800 and we had to cross to access it to look 87 00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:52,120 around for sasquatch clues. Maybe five hundred feet away. Through 88 00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:54,959 just a little bit of woods and field, we'd be 89 00:05:55,079 --> 00:05:57,680 back at the car, and it seems safe to do. 90 00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:01,759 We crossed the field and followed the river into the 91 00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:05,759 woods of ways until we found a swampy small tributary 92 00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:09,879 to the river that we wanted to explore. It really 93 00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:12,480 looked like a swamp hole. It was long and narrow, 94 00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:17,120 like a creek too. As usual when a predator or 95 00:06:17,199 --> 00:06:20,240 a sasquatch is around, the birds went silent, and I 96 00:06:20,319 --> 00:06:24,079 got that we need to leave intuition, so we abandoned 97 00:06:24,079 --> 00:06:26,879 our exploration of the creek and turned around to go 98 00:06:26,959 --> 00:06:32,199 back the way we came. My dog, a border aussy mix, 99 00:06:32,639 --> 00:06:34,959 was on a leash, as she loves to run in 100 00:06:35,079 --> 00:06:38,360 circles and she's always a little awkward to manage when 101 00:06:38,399 --> 00:06:42,480 she's not running free. As I tried to turn her around, 102 00:06:42,519 --> 00:06:45,399 she dropped down on some exposed dark soil, and she 103 00:06:45,439 --> 00:06:49,959 began to roll. Oh great, I thought, But when she 104 00:06:50,079 --> 00:06:53,439 stood up, we didn't see anything she would normally find 105 00:06:53,639 --> 00:06:57,519 worth rolling in. And then among all the plants and 106 00:06:57,600 --> 00:07:01,879 grasses carpeting the forest floor, here we saw a horrific sight. 107 00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:07,040 Against a tree was a tight rabbit nest made of brambles, 108 00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:10,040 and in front of that nest a mangled mass of 109 00:07:10,079 --> 00:07:14,680 flesh and bone and fur. By the fur and the nest, 110 00:07:14,759 --> 00:07:17,040 I could tell it was a rabbit, although it was 111 00:07:17,079 --> 00:07:20,879 in such a state that it would otherwise be unrecognizable. 112 00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:25,920 It looked like something or someone turned this rabbit inside 113 00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:30,199 out like a winter coat. We stood there, shocked, and 114 00:07:30,279 --> 00:07:33,959 despite my knowledge of sasquatch in the area, my mind 115 00:07:34,079 --> 00:07:38,759 raced through an inventory of possibilities. Who attacked this rabbit? 116 00:07:39,199 --> 00:07:42,360 Was it a coatie, a bobcat, a cougar, maybe a fox. 117 00:07:43,319 --> 00:07:46,040 There was very little blood to see, but I remember 118 00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:51,279 seeing its perfectly intact flesh with only the pelt pulled outside, 119 00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:54,720 albeit mangled like. Maybe whatever killed it did so by 120 00:07:54,759 --> 00:07:59,439 twisting its whole body. And then it hit me. Everything 121 00:07:59,519 --> 00:08:03,040 was still. It hadn't been eaten. It was just in 122 00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:06,279 front of its den too. So now I was imagining 123 00:08:06,319 --> 00:08:09,519 that something pulled it straight from its nest and then 124 00:08:09,639 --> 00:08:12,480 killed it and mutilated it, and then just left the 125 00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:16,079 whole thing right there where it died. This didn't make 126 00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:19,519 any sense. And then it struck me. Was this a 127 00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:23,160 warning from a sasquatch signaling us to do not enter 128 00:08:23,279 --> 00:08:27,879 to this area? I couldn't help but feel it was so. However, 129 00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:31,079 the woods were so quiet when we arrived in this area. 130 00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:34,919 We heard no animals coming or going, no scuffle, no 131 00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:39,120 sounds of an animal in mortal distress. I'm not sure 132 00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:41,639 when the rabbit was killed, but I couldn't see how 133 00:08:41,879 --> 00:08:45,480 any animal could have contorted the body that way, and 134 00:08:45,519 --> 00:08:48,080 then also that the predator had not run off with 135 00:08:48,159 --> 00:08:51,679 their kill to eat it. I know sasquatch does not 136 00:08:51,840 --> 00:08:55,159 want us to know they are there. The ones in 137 00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:59,279 this park know I'm aware of them. I can't confirm it, 138 00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:03,519 but whole dartedly believe that poor dead rabbit was a sasquatch. 139 00:09:03,639 --> 00:09:08,840 No trespassing sign the strength this creature must have had 140 00:09:08,919 --> 00:09:11,720 to kill a rabbit with its bare hands and mangle. 141 00:09:11,759 --> 00:09:15,320 It is incredibly frightening, which I guess is the point. 142 00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:18,759 It's like the sasquat saying, see what I can do, 143 00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:23,279 and it wanted to keep me away, just how it escaped. 144 00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:27,399 Our notice showcases a true talent and stealth. I don't 145 00:09:27,399 --> 00:09:30,759 believe for a minute that all sasquatches are warm and fuzzy, 146 00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:35,080 even when staying quietly out of your way. I believe 147 00:09:35,120 --> 00:09:39,480 they are unpredictable, and some are territorial and aggressive, and, 148 00:09:39,559 --> 00:09:44,759 knowing that nothing else matters, always assume the worst while 149 00:09:44,799 --> 00:09:49,360 praying for the best. In the end, our little exploration 150 00:09:49,639 --> 00:09:51,840 was a success because we got the signs of a 151 00:09:51,919 --> 00:09:55,679 sasquatch that we were looking for. It's just that this 152 00:09:55,879 --> 00:09:58,919 was a sad sign we were not expecting, and that 153 00:09:59,039 --> 00:10:02,120 related to me the curiousness of how badly they want 154 00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:07,039 to remain anonymous. The question is can they be dangerous? 155 00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:12,039 So should they be allowed to remain anonymous? I don't 156 00:10:12,080 --> 00:10:17,840 believe so. However, the FEDS will never fess up, will they. 157 00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:22,840 My name is Andrew, and you can use my name 158 00:10:22,879 --> 00:10:26,519 for this encounter. This is quite a lengthy story, and 159 00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:31,320 I apologize in advance. This happened in August of this year, 160 00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:35,639 so it's still quite vivid and fresh. A little background. 161 00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:38,639 My best buddy and I have been best friends for 162 00:10:38,679 --> 00:10:43,120 seventeen years, and we were avid campers and outdoorsmen all 163 00:10:43,159 --> 00:10:46,919 through high school. We knew almost everything there is to 164 00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:49,759 know and did almost everything there was to do in 165 00:10:49,799 --> 00:10:55,080 the great outdoors. Camping was second nature to us. After 166 00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:59,279 high school. In twenty eleven, my friend's parents divorced and 167 00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:02,279 he and his mother moved back to Europe, where he 168 00:11:02,360 --> 00:11:06,120 was born. Last year, my buddy moved back here to Canada. 169 00:11:06,799 --> 00:11:09,919 It was amazing. The eight years he was away seemed 170 00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:13,159 like a week. It was an immediate rebond and we 171 00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:17,480 picked up exactly where we left off. Last summer, we 172 00:11:17,559 --> 00:11:20,360 really wanted to go on an epic camping trip, just 173 00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:24,200 like the old times. However, our schedules and life in 174 00:11:24,279 --> 00:11:27,519 general got in the way. So we planned our epic 175 00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:32,360 trip and dedicated time to camp this past summer. August 176 00:11:32,440 --> 00:11:35,879 had finally come and despite COVID, we were determined that 177 00:11:36,039 --> 00:11:39,879 absolutely nothing was going to ruin our trip. So we 178 00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:42,960 threw caution to the wind and we decided to pack 179 00:11:43,039 --> 00:11:46,759 our gear and prepared for our lengthy drive from Ontario 180 00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:51,960 to British Columbia. Along our travels, we talked about many subjects, 181 00:11:51,960 --> 00:11:54,840 and it was at dinner I had mentioned your YouTube 182 00:11:54,919 --> 00:11:58,120 channel to my friend. He asked me if I believed 183 00:11:58,159 --> 00:12:01,080 in sosquatch and I told him my sir do, and 184 00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:03,080 he looked at me in a strange way for a 185 00:12:03,159 --> 00:12:06,600 moment over his coffee cup. That I could believe in 186 00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:10,080 such a creature was crazy to him, But after talking 187 00:12:10,159 --> 00:12:13,120 with him further, he was more open minded about such 188 00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:17,799 creatures roaming the forests. We arrived at our destination and 189 00:12:17,879 --> 00:12:21,360 hiked deep into the forest. We were a little ways 190 00:12:21,399 --> 00:12:24,960 in and my friend stopped and started looking around. He 191 00:12:25,039 --> 00:12:28,440 told me that he felt uncomfortable, like we were being watched. 192 00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:31,559 I chuckled it off and said, we've just been driving 193 00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:35,600 for hours, you're tired. He looked at me, shrugged and said, 194 00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:40,399 you're right, probably just my imagination. We got to a 195 00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:43,759 spot we liked and immediately started setting up our camp. 196 00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:48,080 Halfway through, my friend stopped and started scanning the area 197 00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:51,080 in front of the tent. He said he swore that 198 00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:54,600 he saw something large and upright moving down the path. 199 00:12:55,279 --> 00:12:57,759 I told him to start a fire and brew some coffee, 200 00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:01,919 and he did that without hesitation. After our coffee and 201 00:13:01,960 --> 00:13:04,919 beef jerky dinner, we could hardly keep our eyes open, 202 00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:07,720 so we left the fire burning and we went to bed. 203 00:13:09,159 --> 00:13:11,720 I don't know how long I had been asleep, but 204 00:13:11,799 --> 00:13:14,039 my friend was shaking the crap out of me to 205 00:13:14,120 --> 00:13:16,840 wake up. He told me he had awakened to go 206 00:13:16,879 --> 00:13:19,519 to the bathroom and was just about to unzip the 207 00:13:19,600 --> 00:13:23,600 tent when he was hit with the scent of vomit, skunk, 208 00:13:23,759 --> 00:13:27,919 and rotten meat, followed by seeing a large shadow of 209 00:13:27,919 --> 00:13:31,080 something by pedal cast over the side of the tent. 210 00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:35,159 I told him it was probably some other campers nearby 211 00:13:35,480 --> 00:13:38,720 that were messing around with us. My friend asked me 212 00:13:38,759 --> 00:13:43,360 to go outside to look before he peed. You go first. 213 00:13:43,879 --> 00:13:46,440 I unzipped the tent, popped my head out, and I 214 00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:50,600 started coughing. That scent he was talking about was still 215 00:13:50,679 --> 00:13:54,240 lingering in the air, but after scanning the area and 216 00:13:54,279 --> 00:13:59,240 seeing nothing, I said, everything's clear. The next day came 217 00:13:59,279 --> 00:14:02,879 and went without incident. By four pm, my friend was 218 00:14:02,919 --> 00:14:05,639 starting to get a fire going and I was preparing 219 00:14:05,720 --> 00:14:09,399 that night's dinner. Half an hour later, the food was 220 00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:12,399 over the fire cooking and it smelled good, and we 221 00:14:12,399 --> 00:14:18,759 were relaxing, laughing, and enjoying some great German beer. Suddenly 222 00:14:18,799 --> 00:14:22,080 both of us became overwhelmed with the feeling that we 223 00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:26,240 were being watched. The air started filling with a musty 224 00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:30,399 right scent that kept coming and going all throughout dinner. 225 00:14:31,200 --> 00:14:34,159 We searched for something, but we couldn't find the source 226 00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:37,799 of that scent, and it finally went away as mysteriously 227 00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:42,440 as it had come. Bedtime finally came, so we hung 228 00:14:42,440 --> 00:14:45,440 the garbage bags high in the tree before turning in. 229 00:14:46,320 --> 00:14:48,879 I had trouble falling asleep that night, so I just 230 00:14:48,960 --> 00:14:53,200 laid there listening to the forest sounds. I was just 231 00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:55,679 starting to doze off and I noticed that it got 232 00:14:55,799 --> 00:14:58,720 very quiet. Then I heard the sound of a twig 233 00:14:58,759 --> 00:15:01,279 snap not too far from the front of the tent. 234 00:15:02,480 --> 00:15:05,840 I got uncomfortable and I felt like we were being watched, 235 00:15:06,080 --> 00:15:09,759 so I quietly sat up with a heightened sense of hearing. 236 00:15:11,039 --> 00:15:14,200 I heard the sound of sniffing slightly to the right 237 00:15:14,240 --> 00:15:17,320 of the tent where the garbage was hanging. My eyes 238 00:15:17,360 --> 00:15:23,080 started to water, and that putrid smell returned. My friend 239 00:15:23,200 --> 00:15:27,120 stirred and noticed me sitting up. Before he could say anything, 240 00:15:27,279 --> 00:15:29,759 I put my finger to my lips and I softly 241 00:15:29,799 --> 00:15:35,000 said ssh, and I pointed in the direction of the garbage. 242 00:15:35,159 --> 00:15:38,480 My friend sat up, curious and confused. We listened for 243 00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:42,159 a moment. We heard what sounded like the garbage bag 244 00:15:42,279 --> 00:15:46,320 slowly being squeezed. I slowly moved to the door as 245 00:15:46,440 --> 00:15:50,559 quietly as possible, unzipping the screen flap and looking over 246 00:15:50,720 --> 00:15:55,200 in the direction that we heard the noises. Unfortunately, it 247 00:15:55,240 --> 00:15:57,799 was too dark to see anything, and I re zipped 248 00:15:57,840 --> 00:16:01,600 the flap and hearing nothing further, we went back to sleep. 249 00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:05,879 The next morning, while my friend was brewing coffee and 250 00:16:05,960 --> 00:16:08,759 I was getting dressed, my friend called my name and 251 00:16:08,799 --> 00:16:11,399 told me to come quick. I rushed out of the 252 00:16:11,480 --> 00:16:14,759 tent and I saw my friend pointing up. The garbage 253 00:16:14,759 --> 00:16:17,480 bags were gone, but the ropes were still attached to 254 00:16:17,559 --> 00:16:21,000 the tree and dangling over the branch ten feet up. 255 00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:25,159 We searched the areas around the site a little bit better, 256 00:16:25,320 --> 00:16:28,919 but we had no success in finding our garbage bags. 257 00:16:30,360 --> 00:16:32,720 That night, we turned in early because we had a 258 00:16:32,840 --> 00:16:36,799 very busy and eventful day ahead. We were talking when 259 00:16:36,840 --> 00:16:39,840 all of a sudden, something small hit the tent. It 260 00:16:39,919 --> 00:16:43,720 was just a little plink sound. It sounded like a 261 00:16:43,799 --> 00:16:46,759 rain drop, so I closed the roof flaps, thinking it 262 00:16:46,799 --> 00:16:50,720 was going to rain. Plink, plink plink. Then that was 263 00:16:50,759 --> 00:16:55,600 it for about ten minutes, and then plank something through 264 00:16:55,639 --> 00:16:58,120 a decent sized rock at the tent, and we looked 265 00:16:58,120 --> 00:17:02,000 at each other with eyes wide But we then decided 266 00:17:02,080 --> 00:17:05,480 to ignore it, thinking whoever was throwing the rocks would 267 00:17:05,480 --> 00:17:08,160 give up and go away, so we turned off the 268 00:17:08,279 --> 00:17:12,599 lamp and we went to sleep. Sometime later that night, 269 00:17:12,759 --> 00:17:15,599 another rock was thrown at the tent, and then another. 270 00:17:16,519 --> 00:17:19,960 At this point, my friend finally had enough. He got 271 00:17:20,079 --> 00:17:22,880 up and went outside and he yelled, whoever that is, 272 00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:26,519 throw another rock and I'm gonna break your eyes. That 273 00:17:26,759 --> 00:17:29,880 was that, and no more activity happened that night or 274 00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:33,960 the next. On our last night of camping, we were 275 00:17:34,039 --> 00:17:37,960 up late sitting around the roaring campfire, just enjoying life. 276 00:17:38,400 --> 00:17:43,359 It really was nice, and then we heard a big splash. 277 00:17:43,400 --> 00:17:46,880 Something huge and heavy was either thrown or jumped into 278 00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:50,279 the water just down the path from our site. My 279 00:17:50,319 --> 00:17:53,200 friend and I looked at one another with white eyes. Again. 280 00:17:53,880 --> 00:17:56,720 My friend was just about to say something when suddenly 281 00:17:56,759 --> 00:18:00,279 he heard a rapid splashing like something quickly walked looking 282 00:18:00,319 --> 00:18:04,640 through the water. The splashing stopped suddenly, and we turned 283 00:18:04,640 --> 00:18:08,480 and intensely stared at the path, expecting to see someone 284 00:18:08,599 --> 00:18:13,480 or something approach us, but we never saw anything. A 285 00:18:13,480 --> 00:18:16,039 little while later, I had to go to the bathroom 286 00:18:16,079 --> 00:18:18,839 and my friend said he did too. He got up 287 00:18:18,839 --> 00:18:21,319 and grabbed the flashlight from the tent, and he said, 288 00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:23,880 after we go, let's go down and check the water. 289 00:18:25,319 --> 00:18:28,799 After emptying our bladders off, we went to the water's 290 00:18:28,920 --> 00:18:32,880 edge to do some investigation. We scanned the water in 291 00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:37,519 surrounding areas, but nothing immediately stood out. However, as we 292 00:18:37,599 --> 00:18:40,160 turned to go back up the path in the mud 293 00:18:40,240 --> 00:18:44,039 by the water, my friend noticed a smudged impression and 294 00:18:44,200 --> 00:18:48,920 noted that this looks like a smudged footprint. As we 295 00:18:48,920 --> 00:18:52,079 were approaching camp, both of us were stuck with an 296 00:18:52,160 --> 00:18:56,480 uncomfortable feeling. When we got back to our area, the 297 00:18:56,599 --> 00:19:02,200 air was thick with that vomit skunk rotting. You guys 298 00:19:02,240 --> 00:19:06,640 have the best descriptions for some of these smells. I'm sorry, 299 00:19:07,079 --> 00:19:11,480 I just think it's so funny. Rotten skunk rotting, stinky feet, 300 00:19:12,559 --> 00:19:15,359 Oh man, it's so good. My friend pointed to the 301 00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:18,000 tent and he said the tent is open, and I 302 00:19:18,039 --> 00:19:20,279 said were You were the last one in there, but 303 00:19:20,400 --> 00:19:24,000 I know for certain you closed it. After going through 304 00:19:24,039 --> 00:19:27,440 our things to make sure nothing was stolen, we decided 305 00:19:27,480 --> 00:19:30,079 to get some sleep, as tomorrow we were going to 306 00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:35,359 disassemble everything and make our way back to Ontario again. 307 00:19:35,480 --> 00:19:38,440 We let the fire burn as we drifted off to sleep. 308 00:19:39,480 --> 00:19:43,000 Later that night, I was awakened by footsteps coming from 309 00:19:43,039 --> 00:19:47,599 behind the tent. It was pacing left and right. I 310 00:19:47,680 --> 00:19:50,720 must have drifted back to sleep, because later I was 311 00:19:50,759 --> 00:19:54,200 awakened by my friend, who was trying to keep from panicking. 312 00:19:55,039 --> 00:19:57,559 He was sitting up away from the side of the tent, 313 00:19:57,640 --> 00:20:00,599 with his left hand covering his mouth and with his 314 00:20:00,759 --> 00:20:04,039 right hand pointing to the back of the tent, the 315 00:20:04,119 --> 00:20:09,240 same direction I had heard the footsteps earlier. By this time, 316 00:20:09,279 --> 00:20:12,160 the fire had died out and it was silent. It 317 00:20:12,200 --> 00:20:16,920 was eerily silent. I too, sat up and I listened snap. 318 00:20:17,440 --> 00:20:20,519 A good sized twig broke as something approached the tent. 319 00:20:21,519 --> 00:20:23,839 By this time my friend was biting his finger and 320 00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:27,839 doing anything not to panic, And then we heard the 321 00:20:27,920 --> 00:20:32,079 sniffing coming from behind the tent. I slowly moved away 322 00:20:32,119 --> 00:20:34,680 from the back wall, and in what little light from 323 00:20:34,759 --> 00:20:37,880 the moon there was, we saw a shadow of something 324 00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:42,079 starting to lean over the tent, just as something pushed 325 00:20:42,119 --> 00:20:46,000 into it. My only guess is this was a foot, 326 00:20:46,119 --> 00:20:48,599 because it was at the very bottom of the tent. 327 00:20:49,519 --> 00:20:52,559 It was quiet for a moment before hearing the groaning sound, 328 00:20:52,640 --> 00:20:55,359 and then suddenly both sides of the tent were being 329 00:20:55,400 --> 00:20:59,519 pushed in. The canvas of the tent was forming around 330 00:20:59,599 --> 00:21:04,359 massive hands, I mean massive hands. Suddenly my friend just 331 00:21:04,519 --> 00:21:07,519 let Lusia scream like a child who had just broke 332 00:21:07,599 --> 00:21:12,880 his favorite toy. It was ear piercingly loud. Almost immediately 333 00:21:12,920 --> 00:21:17,400 the creature stopped pushing in on the tent. After a moment, 334 00:21:17,480 --> 00:21:20,000 we heard what I can only describe as a freight 335 00:21:20,079 --> 00:21:24,400 train crashing through the forest. We didn't sleep anymore that night, 336 00:21:24,480 --> 00:21:27,400 and we waited until first light to pack up and 337 00:21:27,440 --> 00:21:30,960 then we left. The walk from our site to the 338 00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:35,240 car was most uncomfortable. We had the feeling of watchful 339 00:21:35,279 --> 00:21:39,680 eyes coming from every direction. We quickly packed the car 340 00:21:39,799 --> 00:21:42,559 and drove to the nearest motel to get some RESTful 341 00:21:42,599 --> 00:21:46,680 shut eye. When we woke up, we did some research 342 00:21:46,880 --> 00:21:49,839 and realized that that part of British Columbia is a 343 00:21:49,920 --> 00:21:54,720 hot bed for sisquatch activity. I always knew that British 344 00:21:54,720 --> 00:21:58,400 Columbia had a lot of sasquatch activity, and the whole 345 00:21:58,480 --> 00:22:01,400 time this was happening to us, it never crossed my 346 00:22:01,559 --> 00:22:04,880 mind that it could be sisquatch. It's just something I 347 00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:08,039 never thought what happened to me. My friend and I 348 00:22:08,119 --> 00:22:11,119 aren't deterred because of the experience, and we plan on 349 00:22:11,200 --> 00:22:15,200 going camping again next summer. But since August, my friend 350 00:22:15,200 --> 00:22:18,720 has become very interested in sisquatch and he's a big 351 00:22:18,759 --> 00:22:19,799 fan of your channel.
