Seeking Bigfoot Encounter Stories
Posted: Fri Sep 21, 2012 1:27 pm
Hello Everyone,
I'm new to this discussion group so forgive me if this has already been discussed. This is a slightly different take on the subject.
In my spare time, I research and investigate alleged bigfoot and sasquatch sightings in the Central and Southern California areas. I've spoken to quite a few witnesses regarding the subject and let me tell you, there are more than you think. Of course there are the some who are misinterpreting, exaggerating or otherwise flat out crazy, but that is often fairly easy to determine through a simple interview. However, it's hard to flat-out discount the testimony of experienced hunters, fishermen, outdoorsmen, Forest Service, military, law enforcement and the otherwise credible people who I assume frequent this site. That's not saying anything about the valid physical evidence that has been collected, much of which the general public knows very little about. I'll throw it out there that as a child I witnessed what could have been one of these elusive creatures, and as an adult I treat this subject with the utmost respect and seriousness.
I am currently soliciting stories from folks who might have had these experiences and are reluctant to share them with anyone else. I'm also happy to hear tales that have already been told or that you'd be willing to share in this thread. If this starts a discussion that's great.
For some reason, this subject seems to elicit a viscerally strong reaction in most people, with the majority making the absolute assertion that the subject if for crackpots and fools. I happen to think otherwise. I'm used to the sideways glances and eye rolls from the general public, but I'd hope that we could leave the teasing and ridicule out of this thread. I'm ready for the inevitable mother-in-law jokes, so fire away. My skin is thick and I have a sense of humor.
If you have a story to share, feel free to PM me. I would love to hear about it.
Thanks so much for your time.
