we used to walk back to our village at 1am for over a year each day, and the worst thing we saw was a panther, once. if you really want to know fear try skydiving at night or something to that effect.
Originally posted by bloculaI guarantee that while your on your dark,long and lonely way back through the wilderness alone.You will eventually become so scared and frightened at the thought of a Sasquatch out there in the darkness with you,that you will be slowly driven into a state of paranoid terror.Terrifying thoughts that the creature is always only a step away from you will fill your mind.About how it might be about to leap out in front of you,or jump down from a tree,growling and screaming at any moment.Every noise you hear will be transformed into sounds made by the Sasquatch as it stalks and follows you through the dark forest,hungry and ready to attack...
Every step and every turn will become a living nightmare and by the time you hopefully reach the logging trail and eventually civilization,you or anyone else will have become a much more faithful and open minded believer in the existence of Sasquatch...edit on 6-11-2011 by blocula because: (no reason given)

Not all campers pull up to a concrete pad in an RV and set up a TV on the picnic table while preparing the charcoal in the handy metal grill the park was so kind to install at the campsites.
Some really camp in secluded areas and they are not usually the obese and unfit hikers made mentioned of in an earlier post. Some grew up camping, some are ex and active military, others enjoy the outdoors etc., without having a need for carrying howitzers for protection or being scared of the boogie man.
Some know their way around the great outdoors and can navigate at night or identify noises in the dark without crying for mommy. Some even know how to properly dispose of waste and store food stock or anything that might entice a visit by a wild animal at night.
I remember doing survival training in the Florida swamps with the Rangers and never do I remember anyone mentioning Sasquatch or Godzilla even though we were unarmed except for blanks and our wits. It was more of a mosquito, gator, and snake thing that had most concerned.
Never heard of Sasquatch in cemeteries before, will look into that.edit on 7-11-2011 by dcmb1409 because: (no reason given)

I seriously doubt that there has been many people these days, all alone, 20 miles out in the middle of nowhere within the mountains and forests and if there ever has been, then i'm sure they have a different opinion about the possibility of the existence of this creature. If they were a none believer before they found themselves all alone in the wilderness...

Given there have probably been people already in the same position as you describe, alone and wandering out at night in Oregon, only to turn up later safe and sound, with no evidence of having been molested or otherwise harmed by a Sasquatch...hmmm...edit on 6-11-2011 by blocula because: (no reason given)
Whitehall, NY has had dozens of sightings,very recently and older ones as well. Do you live near there?

ill give this a meh and a yawn. Grew up surrounded by dark woods in upstate new york and had zero fear then and none now, never saw anything or heard anything sasquatch related although i am completely open to the idea. We discover new species every year, why not a constantly migraiting large primate, plus didnt the analysis of that video conclude that is was physically impossible for it to have been a human in a suit?
anywho, if yall want a scary image go rent In the Mouth of Madness and look out for the creepy old lady riding a bike at night. shivers

I saw that documentary and that is his choice for whatever reason(s) he had for being filmed. If it scared him and forced him out of the woods that might be a good thing for others that might have been harmed by a jittery individual with a real or imagined experience. Does it convince me that Sasquatch is real? no.
I have always believed that there are no real experts in anything. It is of my opinion only that no one knows everything about anything. There are a lot of knowledgeable people out there but theories, stories, facts, and speculations change like the wind all of the time,
The woods are not fearsome to some and voice prints on a recorder does not convince some without actually seeing what was making the noise. I'm sorry, you're just not going to scare me or convince me of anything based on someone's paranoia and fear of the dark.edit on 7-11-2011 by dcmb1409 because: (no reason given)
Totally alone in the deep wilderness,lets say 10 miles from any town,without any weapon and no cell phone.In total darkness within an area that has had recent Sasquatch sightings...Has anyone done that?
