I have a friend that lives up in the woods about 10-15 miles above Springfield, Missouri. He hasn't been there long, a few years. He took care of his mother until she died and then he just wanted solitude. he built his cabin near the water, and a little shed nearby. Then he built a sturdy, split rail fence around all of it. With the exception of his road, he cut as few trees as possible, so his fence was close to the trees all around him. He's pretty hard to rattle. so, strange noises at night got his attention, but didn't run him off. Whatever it was howling at him, throwing things, banging on trees, would stop as long as he's inside his fence and house at night. He doesn't think like most people and figured by his actions, he could broker a deal. So as soon as its dark, he sits on his porch and drinks a beer like you do, and then goes to bed early, mainly because of no electricity. He has a hundred acres, but really just bought it to get away from people. For the longest time, when he was sitting on his porch in the dim light of the evening, he could hear something walking all around his fenceline. On the side across from his porch, he felt like it was standing there watching him. This went on for a while. The creature would show up about the same time every evening. He started leaving things hanging on the fence. Bananas, other fruits, once a watermelon by the fence on the ground. The creature brings him pretty rocks and crystals, bird feathers, etc.. lately when this big hairy thing does his nightly walk around, he will let my friend see him a little. As my friend always says, we treat each other with respect. He knows there's more than one because he can hear them whooping at each other at night. I still can't believe he told me, but i promised I'd never give away his location or name. I do however, have his permission to tell his story.

I would love to hear more of his story.

My husband and brother-in-law went hunting during deer season in TN some years back. They left my in-laws farm and headed out about 3AM for the forest adjacent to the farm, up into this thick forest, which was basically pitch dark in daylight hours. They found an animal trail and decided to set up there for any deer. They are seasoned hunters. They began to hear sounds in the woods around them. Something was moving heavily and there was an unpleasant odor. They thought maybe it was a black bear, but they were prepared for bears, so they were not too worried. Then there was some branch breaking, trees shaking and some trees actually breaking and crashing to the ground. My husband told my BIL “That’s no bear”. They decided it was time to leave at that point and quickly head back to the house. It was now 4AM. My husband said it followed them unseen but heard until they reached the farm.

Seems like an intriguing person to even go back once to where that happened and then to receive a grass doll, how effing cool is that? To top things off she was saved from a grizzly bear attack by a frigging bolt of lightning coming between them which sent the grizzly off balling...how awesome. Talk about having MOJO. I would love to meet her and be in her presence for a short time to kinda bask in her aura. There are very few people in the world like that. I met a ww2 British bomber Pilot from South Africa when I was in my 20's and he had similar rare divine intervention one in a million life changing stories that would have a table full of people with their jaws dropped in disbelief of how he made it to 90 years old. You just knew this guy was a gem even animals were attracted to him . A raven landed on his shoe while poolside as he lounged one day I was chatting with him. She may have it.

My first thought about her dream was that she had actually recalled an event from her subconscious that was too traumatic to realize. It's interesting to note that Sasquatches may be just as scared of us to a degree. If someone was trespassing on your land I imagine you'd make your presence and intentions known but from a distance. I'll never understand why people hunt alone. That's a recipe for disaster.

I will definitely be looking over my shoulder a little more when I’m hunting and fishing in that area. One of my favorite areas too. It would make good Bigfoot habitat. I always keep an eye out for grizzly bears, black bears, mountain lions, wolves, and I guess now Bigfoot. Never a dull moment in these woods! Great story, thank you!

Either Donna's guardian angel (or her infant son's) saved them from the huge grizzly. It wasn't their time to cross over that day.

I can't imagine how terrified Donna must have felt when she saw the Bigfoot shaking 2 trees at once. Definitely intimidating. It seems that most encounters result in being intimated as opposed to being charged or actually attacked. I think they just want to be left alone

I can understand why no one is going to stop and get out a camera when confronted by these creatures, but wearing a body cam might be a way to finally get pics or videos of them.

I love that you said, "It's always good to be curious about stuff, before making judgements about things..." That comes from someone with deep introspection and a sense of responsibility.

I've actually seen one of the dolls they make with vines, it was very cool and you could tell exactly what it was, head, arms, legs, body. The strength of these creatures is just amazing to be able to shake trees. Who knows how long they have been watching her over the years. They may have been hunting that day and wanted her out. That's crazy about the grizzly and lighting and who knows if they had something to do with that. Some of these outdoor ppl don't want to admit it's a Bigfoot cuz they don't want it to ruin their outdoor life and some of those ppl who don't take their warnings may end up on the Missing 411 episodes.

She was a very level-headed witness. Good story - not overly elaborate and more believable for not being overly elaborate.

Great story! The closer distance, rock thrown and the whistle while shaking trees was def a "hey get outta my area Lady" warning! Scary!

Great story and i absolutely believe the lady saw what she said. she sounded very balanced and credible.

Awesome Chris !! You can only get these stories if you have your audience's respect and trust. Thanks for continuing to share them with us.

Hey Chris. Would it be possible to share some of the Native American stories about Sasquatch?

WOW, Chris, an exciting one and Donna seems level headed, capable and honest. I understand about her not wasting time messing with her camera and firmly believe in immediately following one’s intuition. However, the fact that she was thoughtful enough to take a peace offering and unprecedentedly fortunate enough to have been left a gift from a Sasquatch, I would hope that she kept it and had photos of it. Does she still have it?

That was a nice gesture at the end, from both parties. I hope the beautiful cooperation and co-existence continues.

Really touching that she had the thought to actually leave some berries and other "gifts" for whoever, and that she actually went back and found a gift for her. That was the prettiest thing she could have done, along with all the follow through. Just a great testimony and story❤❤❤.

I'm a Montana native and graduated from Whitefish high school. I've also had a couple of experiences in the same area north of Whitefish. Had another one west of Kalispell....but it was all in Flathead County. I have to agree with Donna, mtn lions are the SCARIEST apex predators around here.

Thank you Donna from Montana, for this story, very frightening! Thanks Chris for sharing!

Good call on the revolver just in case. But, putting nuts, fruit and berries out was a fabulous idea that was rewarded with gratitude. I am terrified of Bigfoot but I have heard so many times that they are not threatening and take food from humans. I think they are like people-some are aggressive and threatening and others are fearful but don’t want to harm humans. Good story. 👍☮️🌞👣

I understand the hunter thang... I don't hunt, but come from a hunting family. And I have unfortunately been graced with the presence of a grizzly bear while having a picnic with my family on my aunt's 10 acres a woodsy property in Oregon. That was both majestic and scary! And a few days later, that big grizzly was nowhere to be found in the area ... Because much to my surprise there was a bigger Apex predator on my aunt's land! I'll have to write, and send Chris my story. Anyway, I've had a face-to-face encounter with Bigfoot-Sasquatch when I was 17 years of age. And he ran my 4 cousins and I straight out of the forest/woods! The Bigfoot-Sasquatch message was to NEVER come back here! Plus I believe we interrupted his dinner truth be told. This is for Donna from Montana. That was a very good idea that you turned around and took it as a warning sign to get out. Because that's exactly the message he was sending! BAD IDEA TO EVER GO BACK THERE WITH YOUR LOVE ONES!! Because you just said that he was sending you a message to get out! Believe you, me, " HE'S NOT PLAYING WITH YOU!!" Just know that if you go back you're putting yourself in unnecessary danger!! Obviously the Bigfoot- Sasquatch views those words as his own. Personally, I'd find a different location, because he might view it as a challenge, or disrespect! My ancestors have said they are the protectors of the forest, and should not be reckoned with!! I'm just saying, ... I think that's a huge bad idea!! Because unlike humans, the Bigfoot Sasquatch is not afraid of anything!! And thanks to my experience back in 1985 - my encounter with the Big King Of The Forest... I'm not afraid of man alone!! But the Bigfoot- Sasquatch is a whole different story I tell you!! And the one I encountered was very aggressive!! They are not only stealthy for their size, they're extremely fast! They can easily blend into the environment like a chameleon. They have super strength, and they're excellent hunters!! So it doesn't matter how seasoned of a hunter we as folks are. Once in their territory, their domain, if we don't heed to their warnings .... horrible- bad things can happen to us for our ignorance and bliss!! So folks the bottom line is, be very careful, and vigilant when trekking through rural areas- forest/ woods/ deserts. These beings/ tribes are not to be disturbed!! Plus just food for thought ... They have their own language amongst them. Some say it sounds like gibberish or two women talking or children laughing or crying. They can also mimic any animal just about in the forest -woods. And it's best if you are in the forest not just to look around, but up in the trees as well!! I'm just saying, not trying to scare folks! But they're real, and they do exist!! Thank you Chris for another interesting story! I love your channel! It's always wonderful to listen to your narrations of the story!! 👍👍 As always ... You're the best!! Keep hiking!!

During my encounter I never had that over powering fear folks talk about. It was a road crossing but he was on a mission, and could have cared less about the car or us. He not once looked at us. His forearms were like a huge fire plug you see on the street's. His size is what is crazy, we were probably 15 yards from him and I had to look straight up. He was probably seven and a half feet tall. Happened in 1977 and I didn't talk about until June of last year.
