Hi !

I've had rocks thrown at me in the woods. We used to go moss picking here in Oregon, this was about 20+ years ago when I was 19 or 20. I went out one day with my Step-dad (RIP). He'd been moss picking his whole life and we go up an old logging road and parked. He went one way and I went the other way, as we did many times. I walked about 30-40ft. into the woods and stopped to take a leak. As I'm finishing up, a rock hits on the other side of the tree where I'm standing & it startled me. I was like "WTF was that"?... I walk over and see the rock on the ground and the divot it left in the tree. My stepdad is not the prankster type, he was a very serious, lets go get the job done & go home type of guy. So I know it's not him. I stand there for a minute & say "Hello"?, "Anyone over there"?... I hear nothing. Then the hairs on my arms and back of my neck stand up and I just sensed danger if i keep walking the way I'm going. I got that uncomfortable feeling of being watched. I back up and I go back to the van and got in. He's got the keys and he's going to be gone for a few hours, & I'm freaking out at this point. I'm praying to god that i don't see anything & i hope nothing happens to my stepdad. I wasn't getting out of that van for anything. After a few long uncomfortable hours, my stepdad walks out of the brush with lots of full moss bags in hand and I have nothing. He gets in & goes "Where's your moss bags"?... & having to explain to him what I felt & experienced was embarrassing. He thought I was being lazy. I get home & tell my mom what I experienced & he just laughed about it. What's crazy to me is that this guy has been out in the woods his entire life, we're talking 40-50+ years & many times by himself day/night, it didn't matter & he's never had an experience of something strange. He thought Bigfoot was phony baloney. He didn't believe in any of that stuff and thought people that claimed to see Bigfoot were liars or charlatans trying to get a buck$. I couldn't convince him of what I felt that day. I went out moss picking again but i made sure I brought a friend with me. My stepdad would say to my friend, he's only bringing you along because you have to protect him from Bigfoot 😆. I wish i never told him, I should've just said "Yeah I'm just being lazy". That would've been better than being made fun of!!

I'm a guy and have never seen a squatch but have heard some strange things and smelled a few as well. Sleeping in my truck or hammock or whatever. Something crossing the creek. Rock bobbling under water. Wood knocks (two inconsecutive nights) from 2 different ridges, and 3 muffled heavy foot stomps one night. When I was younger I attributed it to bear. My father would take me camping in this place in the 60s on a mattress in the back of my grandfather's pickup truck. Have spent a lot of time in there over the years. Never felt threatened. Feels like home. Sometimes I have felt the old "ok, you don't want go that way" so I don't. Boundaries.

I think that when the wildlife goes quiet, this happens for two reasons: (1) The animals on the ground are scared, and do not want to be noticed; (2) The animals in the trees, through their sudden silence, are trying to warn the animals who are not lucky enough to be high up in the trees.

Thanks Nick, and Chris, of course. Nick, I waited 52 years before I shared my experience with Chris and they were just huge footprints a mile long in the snow. Its cathartic to get it off ones chest. To actually see this animal, and have two rocks thrown; I wouldn't have handled it as well as you did. Great story!

Another awesome story from Chris! This was particularly interesting being a New Englander, and having grown up in northeast New Jersey 7 miles from Times Square. Long ago my brothers and I were taken hiking by our dad in Harriman State Park, which is about 150 miles south of the Adirondacks. There have been bigfoot reports in Harriman over the years. And back in the late 60's my brothers and I built an 8 by 12 cabin about a mile from the nearest road near the hamlet of Donald, Ontario, about 10 miles south of Haliburton, Ontario. One early morning with dawn light just beginning to make the sky visible I woke up to see a large single eye peering through the crack in the partially open door directly at me. Nick's description of the eyes on the creature he saw is a good match for the single eye that was staring at me through the partly cracked door of the cabin.

@davidschroeder3272. Near and dear to my heart….. Halliburton. My mom’s sister bought a cabin on a beautiful lot on stunning Drag Lake. It had been a hunter’s cabin. This was in the 50’s and she paid 800 dollars for it. To shorten the story, our family spent 45 happy, happy years in that cottage. Every relative, family friend and school mate came up to that cottage. It was a narrow, winding road from the village to Drag Lake. Us kids always wanted to go into town to spend what little money we had. Halliburton was a bit of an isolated village when we first made our trips up there from Brantford. It really kept Drag Lake pristine, sections with no road and cottages pretty modest. When our aunt died, my cousins sold the cottage. There were many tears shed and l had some very sad dreams about it for a while. We had no tv or phone for years. Some of the best times of my life were spent on Drag Lake. Dad would take us water skiing every day and played cards at night with us. Oh the memories❤️

I was backpack hunting with a bow a few years back in the mountains of Southern California. One evening at out of the silence around 10pm i heard 4-5 “things” come running down the slope above my camp coming towards me. As they got closer they slowed to a trot with one of them moving behind me. As they all slowed to a walk i went into my tent to retrieve a hand gun and then racked a round. As soon as i did that they all took off down stream in 50 yard bounds. Which means they were long gone within seconds. I never saw a thing. No moon was out. The next morning i looked for tracks and disturbances in the leaves. Nothing. The next evening, my last night, one returned at about the same time as before. Out of nowhere from upstream close to camp i heard one trot in and then it slowed to a walk. I could hear it walk in front of me and then stop on the other side of a tree i was standing by. Without thought i charged around the tree and flipped on my flashlight. Nothing there. No sound of anything running off. This is just one of many experiences i’ve had up there. 👍🏻

My Mom used to live in the Adirondacks area and not in town either, but like on a lakefront home. She still lived up there but has moved closer to civilization. Well when you exit the house from the backdoor and look there is a massive expanse of wilderness......it's just forest all over the place, it goes on and on and the house sits on the end of a huuuuge slope that meets this 2 lane road on the hill. Beautiful up there but night time and or evenings are eerie. I Would do things like yard work, rake leaves, water plants, cut wood for the fireplace and or prune trees or help around in other ways. When I was chopping logs one day and this was about 6 years ago it was evening, so the entire day I had worked around the house outside lugging stones in buckets, digging, using the chainsaw to cut wood and cutting more wood. There came a point in time when I chopping the wood and the sun was going down I was alone in the backyard probably 30feet from the house amongst the wilderness well...........I can almost swear but I cannot confirm for sure that a person was watching me from further up the hill whilst hiding between rocks and trees, I can tell you no one ever ventured around there besides me or us. No neighbors up there & unless it was a hiker or something I don't know......I looked at what I thought was a person and momentarily the person looked like a native American with full native American regalia, clothes, Long hair, male, tan skin and I swear when I looked at this person it seemed to transform into basically a shadow and I did see a shadow move up there.......well I said *uck this 😅 & I Cannot tell you how fast I ran inside and shut the door. I Was scared I really didn't know if that was a stalker or a ghost or what? I think if it were a ghost I'd not be surprised though since native Americans have lived and died up there. I Was so scared after that I kept this old pump action rifle nearby at all times.

You can unload an entire AK47 magazine on a BF, it won’t kill it, they can take it! 3. Your best chance of survival is not to pull any guns and just walk away.

Friends have a house in the Adirondacks that they use whenever they can get away from work. The house they bought hadn't been lived in for like 10 years and needed some serious renovations. After everything was fixed they spent a weekend there. Their son was about 18 and decided to go for a walk on a trail behind their house. After a while something began to pace him. He never saw it, but it was on two legs and sounded very heavy. He grew up hunting so he knows the sounds animals make. He took off running, ran all the way back to the house and locked all the doors. He never went back on the trail.

Love chris. Finally a channel where we can listen to stories and not be asked to subscribe and share and comment. I subscribed because i really enjoy chris.

It's weird, when it comes to bigfoot, I pretty much consider myself a skeptic. I also enjoy being alone and I'm even somewhat familiar with the outdoors, especially in areas with dense thickets and deep hollows, like the areas my cousins use to take me deer hunting up in northeast Mississippi over the years. But despite all that, the idea of solo camping still freaks me out lol.. The idea of getting lost or falling and breaking a limb, you know, the very real and most likely dangers of being alone out there, isn't actually what I fear, it's the idea of something reaching out of the dark and getting me lol.. The fear feels primal in nature.. Anyway, good story telling Mr Chris, as always!

People choose to be unprepared going into the woods. They literally create problems by eating meat and having no reverence for it. People use fire to cook there food and it sends out signals to those cryptids living in the forests. Many of these encounters start off because of peoples behaviors. The forests are quiet and someone enters it. Litter is thrown here and there. People have no spirituality and the crytids know it. People are targeted solely on this. There are those who never bring a Beacon Locator with a paid subscription. Peoples laziness brings trouble. Having a locator saves lives yet people choose never to think ahead. They never carry proper clothing, food, water even for a day trip.

I think that a ton more people have experienced these things, but keep it to themselves or just a few close people due to the fear of people thinking they are crazy!

Another beer, another great story! Keep it up, Chris; we need the distraction from our problems. Good work.

Thanks, will do!⛺️🌲🌟

I have hiked ALL of the Adirondack 46 High Peaks. I initially did it with friends, but they then scattered from the Northeast across the US (me also - to North Carolina). So I did the last few, SOLO, finishing in 2010. There was ONE time: When I started at The Upper Works, and did a steep-pass loop to do Mt. Marshall. It took longer than I had planned, and I was hiking Dark Miles back to my campsite, by Headlamp. Then the Headlamp suddenly QUIT, and I found myself in TOTAL DARKNESS. In BEAR Country. I dug through my day pack - by Feel, and Sound - and found a spare pen-flashlight, which allowed me to re-battery my Headlamp. But, for a time, that was the most Lonely/Blind/Exposed I'd ever felt in my Life X)

Love to listen to these stories while I'm getting ready for bed. So glad I discovered this channel

Base Camp Chris gifts us a video, and good spirits are risen all over the world. BCC: a bright light in a world that needs all the cheer (and chills) it can get. ❤❤❤

The rocks thrown at your eyewitness Nick, actually made contact which is unusual. It wasn't too hard to knock him over but if it struck his head it could've been a bad outcome. He sprinted back six miles in at a pretty fast pace. Am sorry it's impacted him to feel fearful, hope he is doing well. Thank you for sharing Chris.

Chris another great story! And talking about my neck of the woods in the Adirondacks!! I still have to tell you my story coming out of the Adirandacks north of Lake George NY. This was many years ago in 1987. A year after I graduated high school. Showing my age. 😢.. But this changed my life and have been back to this place many many times. Great work Chris and you've become my favorite bigfoot channel. I can tell you are the type of person I'd live to share a beer with 100%! Stay safe my friend!

@@buildertrash4102 yes indeed I will share it asap! I will be laid up for a bit after I get anterior and posterior neck surgery coming up in a week! I'll have plenty of time to email Chris and tell our story. (Myself and 2 friends) These are friends that I have had since 5 years old. Very fortunate as we grew up in the same neighborhood and always enjoyed the same things. Camping was and still is one of them. We still try and get out to this spot North of Lake George, NY. It happened at a campsite on Long Lake. All 3 of us talk about it every time we get together. Usually on card night. Lol. The rest of our group is sick of hearing it. I'll be happy to share asap! Have a great night!

Thank you Chris and Nick for sharing this terrifying encounter!

Another great scary story Chris!!! I can only imagine what this guy was thinking and feeling. He got a good shot of what this creature looked like. Freaky!!! . Chris, I get nervous everything you are sitting there telling these stories!! Lol. Thanks for sharing. Stay safe!!❤

This was the scariest I've heard. I can't imagine the stamina of that young man! I have a feeling that I would have surely passed out from the sheer shock.

Least the wood-knocking / rock-throwing BIGFOOT didn’t raid his tent. Maybe next time leave ( him ) peanut butter & slice of bread - Racoon style

Yet another wonderful story! You are a great story teller. I grew up in western NY. We used to vacation in the Adirondacks. One time my parents rented a house for a week, kind of like an AirBnb, but in the early 1980's. The bedrooms were all upstairs. I woke up in the dead of night once while we were there because I heard something growling outside. I think our creepy visitor was a raccoon though. There is a different energy to eastern woods. They're very dense. It's perfect for hiding a sasquatch.

Thanks for the video! Just this past weekend my husband and I were camping on a relatives property near Tionesta Pa. In the middle of the night, we were awakened by what sounded like dogs barking at coyotes that were yapping across woods. It was quite noisy with the sounds of both the dogs and the coyotes but after a couple minutes there was a different noise, a howl that was neither dog or coyote and with that howl, there was complete silence. The dogs quit barking and the coyotes quit yapping. It was very odd and kinda spooky! 😮

That is very spooky...I had a similar experience in the Plumas NF...solo camp late at night....heard a long slow howl ( low to high back to low ...4x;s ) then coyotes off in opposite direction answered....

I used to camp in my mother’s private garden; it was in the middle of the house and not intended for playing or anything, just for my mother to enjoy her gardening and, occasionally, as a camping site for well behaved children. A maid would bring supper for us and thus fortified we went to sleep in our tent.

Well Chris, you have me on the edge of my car seat. I am driving home the long way just so I can listen to the rest of the story 👍

Very good vid! I live in NY and have camped in the ADKs hundreds of nights. Also have hiked ALL the '46" High Peaks. We have also camped right where your subject of this vid camped. We have had some unusual occurrences up there, but NO actual encounters as of yet. When/and if we do you will be the first guy we'll contact! Keep up the awesome vids Chris and we will keep watching.....take care. Rex

I love this guy's stories so much! I enjoy his delivery even more than Mr. Ballen's.

Its no"coincidence" that these encounters happen in the national parks..Where you aren't allowed to carry protection,use drones,etc....And any attack that happens is always blamed on a bear...

Another awesome story Chris and I always look forward to Sundays for your video to drop. I’m like several people who left comments, how do you go into the woods without a firearm or at least bear spray as a bear encounter could end your life quickly as it only takes one swipe or bite to the right place and it’s over for you. 😢

Always look forward to your weekly stories. This was another really scary one. Poor guy. So terrifying

I’ve been hiking, backpacking, and camping many times in the great Adirondacks. Although I’ve never had an encounter there, I know something is out there that we can only imagine!

I love these videos: it really does feel like being back in scouts, sitting in the tent at night, and listening to the stories swapped as the crickets sing

Oh man southern tier NY. Against PA. Border we were Turkey hunting .never seen anything bit the whoops howls all night mtn to mtn all night kept us awake till 6 am and we left there lol

Yay!! Thank you Chris!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

The Adirondacks are great. Ill never forget the summer me and my family spent there where i fell in love with my dance instructor, Patrick swayze.

Same noise, while out there training with the PJs, in the Air Force. I thought it must be two tall trees bumping. But there was no wind.

Oh Cris we love your stories, and the sound effect that goes with him. Keep up the good work keep them coming.

This poor guy STILL sounds terrified after all this time. I can never really fathom how anyone (including yourself) who is almost certainly au fe with the many stories about Sasquatch and other "beings" and knowing the type of country they're heading to can even think of venturing out alone, hunting,fishing or anything else. You just cannot have nerves like the rest of us.

Thank you for telling this story Chris! Glad Nick is ok.

Cant wait...what perfect timing Thanks Chris ! Yay for Fog cutter !

This was a spectacular story Chris ! I enjoy every one and the scenery is beautiful. I love the way you tell 'em it puts me right there. Looking 👀 forward to the next video. Have a great week ♥️

Another chilling story thanks Chris

Bro your not factoring in ADRENALINE. An adrenalin dump can make any human do some UNHUMAN SH*T

Awesome tale 👍👍👍 Thank you for sharing Chris.

sometimes (always) youtube makes finding specific videos of yours difficult. I am impressed that you camp without a sidearm at least. I would never do this. To be honest, fear of my stepdad caused me-at 15- to sleep with a .357 magnum revolver under my pillow. Since I grew up and lived on my own on the Oregon coast I downgraded to a .45 colt automatic. Now I never sleep without this kind of thing in reach--even at home in a safe suburban town. Now I'm 60. I cannot imagine camping without at least a .45 under my pillow. You laugh alot. More than I ever have, but you seem like a great guy--one who would be fun to camp with. But laugh, drink those yummy beers ...and carry a gun.

I’m so excited to hear a local story! I’ve had some eerie experience on this trail myself. This trail as well as Mt. Van Hoevenberg. Thanks for the great story telling as usual!

They are masters of cover and concealment. Thank you Chris and Nick

Great video! Thanks for sharing.

Art work on the beer cans is so beautiful. Hope you can do a project with those. Blessings

this story gave me the chills man. such a great story teller. much love chris ! hope this happens to me one day 🦧

Brave guy for speaking out.

Now I know why you don’t let some people tell their own story, Chris you’re a great story teller.

Great job chris hope you and the family are well keep hiking

Awesome story BC Chris! Loved it Nick sorry your camping and hiking has been diminished but definitely do not blame you Thank you fellas for the audio Take care, look forward to the next one BCC!😊

As usual Chris, outstanding. I've been to the area a few times and it's beyond beautiful, and VERY remote. Awesome story.
