Love your content. I have believed in “bigfoot” since 1980s when visiting my uncle in California. Retired federal marshal who fished and hunted in Sierra Nevadas. He saw them and knew they existed. He showed us pictures of tracks and scat. Even collected hair. His native friends called them night watchers but i don’t remember the actual word he used.

by Lake Cushman once heard similar wood knocking way off from our rental cabin like that Poulsbo guys experience nearby on that side of the Peninsula. Only camped twice further west in Quinalt Forest, which is a bit but more sparse, deeper rain forest but one early October we definitley heard more than cougars in heat, and all of us felt heavy ass footprints about 50 feet away but no tracks anywhere next morning & had been light rain.

I live in Tacoma, WA about 45 minutes from Poulsbo, WA on the Olympic Peninsula! Love your stories! I also interviewed renowned anthropologist Dr. Grover Krantz about Bigfoot in the mid 80’s at my alma mater Washington State University. Fun times!

It's amazing how everyone seems to escape from an alleged creature that is so fast, so stealthy and has the jump on everyone it encounters. They're apparently non life threatening other than their stinky BO, bad breath and howling noises. They seem to be nothing but Mountain Bullies if they are real. With all of the advances in night photography, trail cams, hunters every where now plus the fact that everyone has a cell phone nobody EVER gets a clear photo of these bullies of the forest, amazing isn't it. I wonder what would actually happen if someone just stood their ground when they saw one of these mountain bullies, I'd bet nothing. Carry a gun, stand your ground and see if it comes at you. I've been in many mountain ranges, hunted, fished, trapped, camped out and did jungle warfare training while in the service and have yet to be eaten alive or chased by one of these mountain hillbillies. I think if they're real they have no authority to physically harm human beings, otherwise they would have taken out all the people in your stories. Maybe they would be considered cannibals by their buddies for eating humans because they are human which explains why everyone lives that encounters them. This could be a group of humans that got unlucky in the gene pool and moved to the mountains to escape being ridiculed, as simple as that. Either way, there are tons of television shows on big foot and not one of them has definitive evidence/proof of these existing yet. When you have one on an autopsy table I'll be a TRUE believer.

Then tonight you casually mention this footprint you saw just recently, and show us a picture. Yet, you don’t seem to be phased at all. Then I was thinking, well, So far Chris hasn’t mentioned anyone actually being hurt, mauled, devoured, scratched, attacked, etc. I don’t know what to make of it but your calm attitude is reassuring.

One crossed my path not far ahead & entered into the deep woods. It sat low in the thick of the trees watching for awhile then moved on. I was not sure what was going to happen but thankfully it was a very calm & it was so exciting to see one that close. I also saw one driving through British Columbia once years ago. It had found a massive Bull Elk roadkill off the side of the road & was standing over it.

Here is South East Georgia I know of someone who has seen a large black cat, like a panther in her woods near her house. I’ve read that some large cats can be darker and look like a panther. Panthers used to be native here but we’re over-hunted…. But I suppose it’s possible they still exist. The person who saw it is entirely credible as a witness. Also, there are many stories of big foot sightings in the rural areas here.
