I was reading a post today “Track ID” it’s a huge canine track that the poster was looking for what could have made it. Four mentioned it was Bigfoots pet and that made me think who has had a Bigfoot encounter. I have and I swear on my life this is what happened. We weren’t drinking or doing drugs! I Didn’t get into bad stuff till I was 16.

I was 14 years old and me and 2 buddies had snuck out of the house to go hangout with some girls. We left the house around 12:30 am. We traveled through the woods and then out into a nursery and bingo we where there! It was a pitch dark night and despite my extensive knowledge of the woods some light was needed for navigation. I fashioned a torch from a stick and some rags. We made it to the girls place without incident. At around 4:30 am we decided to head home. It was about a 3 mile trip. As we walked down the mile long nursery road we started to hear something off to our left. It seemed as if whatever it was, it was following us. We stopped walking and the rustling next to us got louder and closer. My friends took off running!! I dropped the torch and ran after them. As we got to a cross road approximately 100 yards from where I dropped the torch my friends stopped to make sure I was coming. As I got up to them we all looked back down the road and standing in the middle of the road nicely illuminated by my torch, that was maybe 15ft in front of it, was a Sasquatch. This thing was 8ft tall it raised its arms over its head and made a horrific scream at us. We took off again this time not stopping until we where back to my house (about 2 miles at a dead sprint). My buddies and I decided not to tell anyone because we figured people wouldn’t believe us and we had snuck out of the house. Never talked about it just went on with life. At my 25 year reunion one of the guys that was with me that night said, “ Ha, we saw Bigfoot that night didn’t we?!” I said, “Sure did.” That’s as much as we have ever discussed it. Never been so scared I my life! Believe me or not I don’t care because I’m telling you the truth. I’ve been in the woods my whole life. Seen deer, bears, coyotes, wolves, huge owls at night, this was not any of those.

I know others have had experiences are you brave enough to share them?

I don’t doubt you, J.

1972/73. South Hill of Puyallup, Wa (30 mi S of Seattle). My neighbor was home on leave from the Navy. He said he was hearing strange sounds in the woods behind his house and offered me 50 bucks to sleep on his patio one night. As a junior or senior in high school that was a lot of easy money. My brothers and I always slept in the fields and woods a lot in the summer. Easy money.

I was going to sleep out Friday night but got back after midnight from a date. So Saturday it would be. When I turned into the driveway the dogs came to meet the car as usual. But tonight they seemed even more glad to see me. I had noticed that the calves were standing under the horses between their legs. All the animals were looking across the field towards the woods. The dogs were jumping on the car door. I had to push the German Shepard off the door to open it. As soon as I cracked the door the Cocker Spaniel crawled into the car with the Shepard right behind it. I thought “Boy, you guys are glad to see me tonight!” I also had thought it unusual to see the cows under the horses and awake that time of night.

I walked to the house with the dogs almost knocking me over they were pushing against me so hard. I turned the knob but the door was locked. Fairly unusual. My mother the next day said she felt like locking the door that night. She wasn’t worried because she knew I had a key.

Well, as I was putting the key in the door something in the woods started vocalizing. Gentlemen and Ladies, I have never in my life heard noises like that and I don’t think I would care to even now. That explained the strange behavior of the animals. As soon as the doorknob clicked the dogs pushed the door open and beat me into the house.

I don’t know if it was a Bigfoot, but it wasn’t anything I have heard before or since. We did live in an area that had periodic evidence of reports of Bigfoot in the area. By the way, I told my neighbor that he could keep his money. We never slept outside again.
