wanted to bump this thread.

Coast to Coast am had a show on Bigfoot. It was really interesting. I had originally considered what I saw as a wolfman based on the color gray. And what I learned about the wolfman. I dont know what to think now.

My ex girlfriend wont talk to me. My sister and i just talked about it. She says 6 to 7 feet tall. Dark grey. And it jumped really far. She also said that she only looked forward when I braked the car. She doesnt really remmber well as a rule. lol. But she corroborates my memory for the most part. At least to me.

Whatever that thing was, it had superhuman athletic abilities. I just drove down the same road with a friend, and asked him to estimate the distance from cover to cover. he said at least 30 feet.

That thing crossed that 30 feet in less than 3 seconds.

One other thing. last night while that show was on, i visualized that moment. I saw that moment so clearly. That thing and I had eye contact. It looked into my face, Im sure of it.


anyway, I just wanted to add this after hearing the show.

I read your accounts and fully understand it freaked you out. I saw one 10 feet away 23 years ago and I am still freaked out. I was scared, frozen in fear, but it wasn't and calmly walked away.

I really hope no one ever shoots a Bigfoot. His eyes were that of some wild deer I had hand feed carrots to. Huge and dark, but you could see the intelligence and kindness in them.

Peace

I know someone who lives on a farm and I've joked about them harbouring Sasquatch so that they have a safe place to stay.

Really though, I wonder if there is some sort of underground network of country folk who are part of keeping these creatures safe...

By the way, I read the entire thread and saw the mention of BF seeming to be drawn to women. I have read accounts that suggest women who are ovulating are especially interesting to BF. Maybe some pheromone thing attracts them? They may be close enough to human to be susceptible to human pheromones.

S & F Seagull, great thread. A lot of great side info provided by other posters as well. I had never heard the attraction to females theory; one I have heard is they are drawn to children, especially while they are at play. I believe they are quite the inquisitive creature, much like we are with them. I also believe they sense and process danger as we do, hence the reason some encounters are docile while others are intense.

wow, what an awesome thread. i feel a bit spent now after reading everything...

i hope if i ever see one in such a personal way, i can at least mumble "i love you" to him despite my quivering soul. cause i love bigfoot, ok?! he's probably the reason i am who i am today. bigfoot opened my eyes to the world of the unknown and speculated things. bigfoot, then aliens, and planet X, and other cryptids gave me a super open and curious mind, so for that, i'm so thankful for the person i became and all the things i've discovered and experienced in life. that would be so cool if he just smiled and walked away

i call bull----.
im not trying to troll...but a 25-30 second encounter.
and all you can determine was its approx. height and hair colour?

so you werent close enough to get real detail. but you were close enough to see its eyes?

answers are pretty vague to the questions and you instantly turn them around after a sentence or 2 and start talking off on a tangent. seems like you answer a paragraphs worth question with a simple yes or no answer. just seems odd.

and no description as to what it actually looked like.
i didnt make it to page 4 because I got bored of the non answers and started this reply. so maybe the answer is in there.

-----------------

another thing that struck me odd was that you described it no differently then how you said they were described before the encounter.

they say its dangerous
ive heard its dangerous
some say its dangerous
i saw it!! its dangerous.

like ....

i dunno.

Brilliant thread :]

I get scared just thinking about the mountain lions.

And I've never even seen one and they're supposed to be out there...

I live in NW Oregon, btw. I saw footprints up in the mountains once during winter. They were about 5 feet apart and about 14+ inches long. They may have been normal footprints that melted, but the person would have had to be running because of the stride. It was near the summit of a hill near a radar tower right next to the logging road. It probably was just a person that had been jumping in the snow but I don't know...

I knew some people many years ago that were friends with our family and their two kids told us they had seen it and heard it. They were one of the reasons I was drawn to the mystery in this world. That happened when I was a child. I believe something is out there. We should respect it. And you know... like I just said, even a mountain lion can cause primal fear. Those're deadly.

A lot of the bigfoot sightings in my area just turn out to be hairy homeless men, or crazy nut jobs running around in gorilla suits. I hope your sighting wasn't either of the above, and good luck on your hunt.
