Possible Sasquatch encounter happened last night.

[nhbbear]

We'll never know if it was Sasquatch but I have no doubts that this happened to you.

Couple things:

1. You mentioned walking to your car quite a bit, yet you were in the water most of the time. I'm sure your car was not in the water, so how far into the lake did you walk? We need some sort of visual. How about a google maps image with MS paint enhancements?
2. You should definitely report this incident. Like another poster said, no reason to bring up sasquatch, but giant rocks being thrown at you is a concern. Remember that family that was camping in california and some weirdo randomly shot at their tent and killed the father? Other people then came forward and said they had bullet holes in their tents in the past. You'll feel terrible if someone down the road gets taken out by a rock in that lake.
3. When will you go back with backup? Actually, is there a reason to go back? I think most generic horror movies start with some team of explorers looking for the supernatural.

Glad you didn't dieded!

Great idea with the google maps. I hadn’t thought of that. I will get back to you on this.

I would say my entire walk was about 1000 yards, but it was very difficult terrain with downed beaver-chewed trees laying across the edge of the lake-there is no path, and as far as i could tell, no one had gone to that area in the recent past. There are also lots of logs and sticks lining the shore where you have to walk, and every time I have chosen to go that way to some really good spots, I have fallen, gotten stuck in the mud, ended up with wet shoes in some really cold water, and exhausted due to exertion.
There Is no option to try and walk around those obstacles due to the, IMO, nearly impossible task due to the steep hill and thick wall of jagger bushes(thorny plants for those that had not heard that term before) that is between the base of the hill/maybe mountain, and the edge of the lake.

And as difficult the lakeside walk, fighting through those jagger bushes or scaling the hill would be such a daunting task, that I don’t see anyone A. Ever wanting to do that just to fuck with someone B. being able to do it C. Being able to do either of those things without me hearing them crashing around in that area. You can hear little chipmunks and squirrels making a giant racket as they scurry along.

Besides the improbable and difficult choice to get to the area where the rocks came from, there are the rocks themselves. Big and heavy, I don’t see many people being able to throw those rocks. I wouldn’t have been able to do it pre surgery, and I was into power lifting. If it was people, it would be kids or young adults. I don’t see them being able to roll those rocks, much less, throw them. And because of the twenty of so feet of jagger bushes between the lake and the base of the hill, it was not rocks falling down the hill, or I would have heard the crashing. It was completely quiet and peaceful there.

i have not decided whether to report this or not, and I don’t even know who to report it to. Maybe i will make a post on the fishing apps that led me to this area and let the other anglers know-leaving out any mention of animal culprits.

And I know I will go back to this lake next spring. I don’t want think I could go back before then. And I will never walk that bank and will be armed. I plan to get a kayak and always go with someone else.

like i have said, I just don’t have any logical explanations for this incident. It shook me pretty bad, as i have mentioned, I have been through some really hairy shit in my career. I have always been interested in cryptozoology shows, but I have always been a skeptic. Hell, I made a thread on here years ago called “tigers don’t like cinnamon:finding Bigfoot” to make fun of the ridiculous declarations about a non-existent creature and the facts those idiots just pull out of their asses. Things like finding a deer carcass and saying “this is a Bigfoot kill-they always break the leg:...”. So I named the thread after the random ass comment from the hangover movie. I just looked to post a link, as it was hilarious, but it wasn’t under my created threads. Can anyone locate it? It would have been ten years ago or more, and it was quite popular with over 70 pages that I can recall. I know zookeeper Gabe posted on there a lot. Anyway, my point was that I was extremely critical of the show and the “eye witnesses” and even got into it with one poster who had an experience. To be fair, he jumped my shit saying that I would believe if i had seen what happened to him, then started insults. If I recall, I messed with him pretty hard and he ended up getting teh double yellows and ended up banned. My point is that i would never have believed that I would ever have any kind of experience in my life where i would be forced to even consider this possibility. But I can’t see any explanation that I believe explains what happened to me. I know those rocks were thrown. I know those rocks were(some of them) were too big for most of the population to be able to throw, but not like the one I actually saw. And I certainly don’t like the supernatural possibility angle either.

so how do I explain it?

 

[nhbbear]

I’m not going to judge, but here is my experiences from spending a lot of time in the woods especially at and around dusk/dark. It’s incredibly hard to judge the size of things(in low light) and especially if you’re already a little freaked. So I think it would be very difficult to judge the size of a projectile in low light. I know as a police officer you have dealt with some bad situations but Often times things are very different in the woods. Especially if you’re recovering from back surgery so you aren’t at your strongest
Do I believe in Sasquatch, no so I’m skeptical of all of these incidents.
My best low light story is, buddies and I were camping around a remote lake in Wisconsin. It was around 12am and we were following what we thought was the call of a Saw-whet owl. Not realizing we were very close to the waters edge we suddenly heard what we though was a loud gunshot within feet of us. Everybody fucking panicked and started running a different direction, I have a scar from impaling my shoulder on a tree. It was a fucking beaver that we snuck up on and scared, it slapped its tail on the waters surface.

also, get yourself a high quality flashlight. Since you said you’re recovering from back surgery a slip and fall could be bad anyways. You’re welcome NHbears wife.

I just mentioned you in a post. Do you remember the thread I made many years ago about tigers not liking cinnamon and other ridiculous “facts” about finding Bigfoot?

I was a total skeptic. Made fun of many people in that thread. Can’t fucking find it though.

and being a fisherman, I have had plenty experiences with beavers and their tail slap. I absolutely without question know this was not a beaver. Not the same sound, and remember, I saw one of the rocks and had water from it splash me. No question in my mind that these rocks were thrown, and continued to be thrown following my path back to my car. I know there are beavers there because of the trees felled that make it so difficult to walk along shore. But it was not the slap of a beaver tail on the water. This was a deep, hollow sploosh sound that happens when rocks hit the water with force.

I still think of myself as a skeptic, but I can’t find anything that easily fits to explain this. And it takes an awful lot to rattle me, and like the acdc song, I was shook all night long.

 

[nhbbear]

How big was the hill nearby TS? Was it a mountain?

I don’t know what the difference between a big hill and a mountain are. Elevation? This is a pretty tall, pointed and rocky peak. I couldn’t guess, though I am going to look on google earth here shortly.

Once when i was in the woods in northern sweden i came late to the small lake where i was supposed to set up camp..

It's a secluded lake where many animals, elk, deer, the occational bear/wolf, birds of prey etc come to drink and you can only reach it by 4x4 and i wouldn't recommend it certain times of year..

when i reached the lake i sat down for maybe 15 minutes, absolutely quiet just to take in my surroundings in the strong moonlight.. it was almost like daylight.. those who've had their eyes adjusted to the dark and really been out under the hunters' moon in the north knows how bright it is..

Anyways.. i heard some branches crack from a couple of hundred meters away getting closer.. i prepared for a nice moment with a deer or an elk.. i couldn't believe my eyes when this hobo appeared.. he went down to have a drink and i hollered at him.. he just looked at me and sniffed.. then he started running at me from about a hundred yards.. what really got to me is how he was running fast upright at first and then he got on all four and started accelerating..

My car was 30 yards away and we reached it at the same time.. he was beating on the window and he had some skinny fucked up pupils and terrible dental hygene, fangy as fuck..

I hit the gas and drove as if someone held a gun to my head.. after about 20 minutes of doing 25mph on really bad roads i shaked him when i reached the asphalt..

I never expected to find a homeless marathon runner with a dental and eye condition who runs faster on all four and will try to kill you for trying to steal his fishing spot..

i slept on it and i think it was just the wind reflecting in the lake and then the adrenalin got the better of me..



All of that is obviously bullshit.. i'm just saying some of the people who thinks we have reached the pinnacle of science and knowledge are often as crazy as those who see bigfoot flexing in a g string every time something makes a sound in the woods..

You constantly spew the same rhetoric.
I've asked you to run the exercise from the opposing standpoint, but you have refused.
While I get your point and I am open to no such thing as Bigfoot, Bigfoot is extinct, or Bigfoot is alive and well. But for some odd reason there are at least a few rational people who have claimed encounters or had experience that are not easily explained.
Let me ask: do you believe it is possible that a Bigfoot or bigfoot like creature once existed?

Do I believe it's possible for a large ape species to have existed on this planet at some point in history in the Hominidae family of apes? Sure. There's fossil evidence proving their existence. Gigantopithecus is a great example. It stood about 9 feet tall and weighed roughly a thousand pounds. It also died out hundreds of thousands of years ago and we can still find physical evidence for it.

I've already pointed out how silly it is to run that exercise from the opposing viewpoint because you can make any imaginary creature seem likely to exist. I can pose those exact questions to make vampires, trolls, Loch Ness, goblins, dragons, leprechauns, and the flying spaghetti monster seem reasonable that we just haven't found them. You can't name any species that's turned out to be real with your "opposing viewpoint" system.

I'm of the firm belief that all bigfoot sightings fall into the same two categories. Mistaken identity or lies. In fact, the second you bring something like big foot into a conversation as a credible source over actual reasonable well established explanations, then I think you default into the not a rational person category.

I don't think it's a coincidence that we have so many sightings and not a single piece of hard physical evidence when you can't point out to another single animal in our society with that type of lack of evidence. You can't even point to a recently discovered large mammal species in our "vast unexplored remote forests". That's because they aren't as remote and unexplored as people like to think. There's a reason we don't have a body or bones or anything else to point to. There's a reason we don't have clear photographs or video to point to. I know that's much more boring than the thought of some mystical great ape roaming secretly through the woods, but that's just our reality. I don't need to inject lunacy into my life to enjoy the world around me.

To me it's pretty telling it occurred next to a hill. If I had to guess, it was probably a small landslide.

Based on physics, if a rock starts rolling down a hill, gains some velocity, then hits a portion the levels out for a bit, it can be launched like a projectile.

They don't like the idea of projectile motion from gravity and naturally occurring ramps on a steep rocky hill being the explanation instead of bigfoot. I've already posted a photo that shows exactly what an object coming off a perfectly flat plane with forward motion would look like (an arc), and how a simple incline or bump would cause it to have an upward trajectory that would perfectly mimic a rainbow arc to someone underneath. They want it to be a bigfoot so to them nothing else is a good enough explanation.

@nhbbear - do you not notice how you just said you can hear literally everything down to the size of a chipmunk up there, but you somehow ignore the fact that a 200+lb ape picking up and launching boulders at you while you run down the river would make a tremendous racket? How would you be able to hear a damned chipmunk and not be able to hear a giant ape picking up and slinging boulders?

One thing I will note too, when primates don’t want you in their territory they do sometimes throw rocks, sticks etc. but they also make a holy hell racket with screaming, shaking branches and trees. Basically when a primate wants you out of its territory it makes as much noise as possible.
I vaguely remember the post and will have to check it out

 

[nhbbear]

This thread has me dying. The part about the duck not following him is gold, I laughed for like 20 seconds straight. I 100% believe it happened, but I cant offer a good explanation other than buff teens in the hill.

Ive noticed jgarner thinks everyone is a complete idiot, like TS wouldn't be able to tell the difference between rocks being thrown and rocks tumbling down a hill.

yeah, and don’t forget that I am a “hysterical pussy” according to this douche canoe. I have been shot at and have gone hand to hand with guys wielding knives, and I was not nearly Freaked out and feeling helpless as I did the other night.

 

[nhbbear]

I'm pretty sure the last words any same person wishes to utter are 'I think I saw a bigfoot'. However there must be an experience so moving and fearful that it has you questioning your beliefs.
For the Bigfoot non-believers, I ask you once to take up the argument as a believer. Better yet , assume you are Bigfoot. The question you want to know is
what do you eat?
Where is my range?
How do I maintain a breeding population?
How do I avoid humans?

Now I have no idea what a Bigfoot might eat, but if you can eat acorns, you can find enough food on a single acre in the northeast. Add carcasses and berries you have quite a bit of readily available food sources.

The record time for the Appalachian trail is 41 days. Amazing. While I don't know if Bigfoot is a ultra marathon trail runner, but it gives you an idea of the capacity of bipedal locomotion. Access to vast territory of open wilderness or unpopulated pockets isn't an issue.
If I wished to remain out of human sight, it would be easy to do so. The age of exploration is over. Noone is searching for new species.
If I encountered a random human I would like try to scare him off and then move on to a new territory.

With an open analytical approach to the subject, it can quickly turn to possible.

you are right, literally the last thing that I would have considered or would have wanted to say, but I just can’t believe that a person would have waited in the woods for two hours to throw rocks at me for no reason-out in the middle of nowhere without seeing a soul the entire time I was there.

First, the Bili ape, an over five foot tall chimpanzee like primate was recently discovered within the last few years.

Second, my point about hearing everything on that hillside proves that I would have heard someone climbing that hill, walking down from the top, or some other explanation. Same as I would have heard rocks rolling down the hill. There was no noise except the huge splashes, of which there were about six, and at least two were as I had already begun to run. Those rocks were thrown. I have been fishing for a very long time, over 35 years, and going on my own for 25 years. I have been around when rocks and tree branches have fallen or rolled. You hear those things coming down the hill. These were thrown. By what? That is the question. Someone who waited for two hours while I fished? It would be impossible to move to the position Where the rocks were coming from without me hearing it. So the culprit would have already had to have been up there. A hunter maybe? But again, there is the question of such difficult terrain.

If it had been someone else posting this, and I reading it, I would absolutely be skeptical. I probably wouldn’t doubt that rocks were being thrown, but I would question the claim about the size of the rocks. But I saw one. It was easily the size of a cantaloupe, but closer to a basketball. And the splash was huge, throwing water fifteen feet out from shore and some water splashing my bare legs. I felt it. Then I began to run, yelling for them to stop. The rocks continued to land near me as I progressed. It was Not a rockslide that followed me. As I ran, I was making so much noise and had adrenaline and my parasympathetic nervous system in fifth gear, so who/whatever was responsible could have followed and I would not have heard, but I would have heard someone walking on the hillside to get to that point.

And regardless of my belief in another’s story, I would not have been an Internet tommy tough tits douche bag calling them a “hysterical pussy.” I so wish it could have been you in that situation to see how you would have handled it. I am betting you run as well.

 

[BKMMAFAN]

99.99% it was a human. Of all the places a gigantic undiscovered ape could possibly exist, the central eastern US is not a good candidate.

An escaped ape from a rural private collection is also much more likely than bigfoot, but as others have said, apes make a shitload of noise aside from sniping with rocks.

You probably had a close encounter with a homeless guy if I had to wager assuming it wasn't a natural rockslide. And, all in all, a silent homeless creep in the woods is probably scarier than a silent ape trying to scare you off.

Ah yes the bili ape. A new sub-species of chimpanzee found deep in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, WHERE THEY ALREADY KNEW CHIMPANZEES EXISTED AND IS CLOSELY LINKED TO THEM ON A GENETIC LEVEL.

So thank you for reaffirming my point that you can't find a single example of another large, previously unknown mammal found in our woods in modern history. You have to go all the way to the fucking African Congo and point out a sub-species of something known to exist for centuries to even remotely find an example. Our woods are big but they aren't that unexplored.

So a human couldn't have made it to that point without you hearing movement, but a big foot would have huh?

Instead of a tranquilliser dart, you could have shown him that opening post.

Savage AF.

And, all in all, a silent homeless creep in the woods is probably scarier than a silent ape trying to scare you off.

Right?

That’s just it. I don’t have an explanation. It makes little sense either way. Not all of the rocks were as big as the one I saw, but that one was big. Definitely at least the size of a cantaloupe, up to the size of a basketball. When it hit, it was a very loud “kersploosh” with a hollow sound. It threw water all over the place, including my legs. It was at this point I started to run. This is really bad terrain to run on. It is a slope and there are logs everywhere littered on the ground. In broad daylight, I often fall or slip and end up with wet or muddy feet.

I know stress fucks with your senses. It can make a rock look much bigger, but I was not yet crazily alarmed before the big one hit. At this point, only one rock had landed and it hit fifteen feet in front of me. I knew it wasn’t a fish, but my first thought was not that it was intentionally being thrown at me. I have been fishing all my life. I have been around rock slides, and this was not that. No little rocks or accompanying debris splashing after or before. Just a loud bloop and splash. Then i was looking up the hill trying to figure out what was happening when the second one flew over my head. Then another in front of me, then over my head out into the lake. I was screaming at them to stop after the second rock and it continued. I heard no sounds. No trickle of stuff rolling down the hill, no laughing. Only my heavy breathing and the sound of me trying to move as quickly as i could. As I made progress at least two other rocks were thrown. Neither were close and they were smaller-at least in splash volume. I was still only fifty feet from where it started at this point. When i got close enough to hit my panic alarm on my car, one final rock landed about 25 feet behind me. From the point of origin, the total distance was a few hundred yards.


So, the obvious point is that rock slides do not follow a person. The rocks were thrown-not rolling down the hill, taking crazy bounces to explain the arc of the one i actually saw.

taking into consideration how remote this lake and area are; the steep and probably very difficult to, or nearly impossible to navigate that rocky hillside.

then there is the size of the rocks and distance. I just have many doubts doubts about the average person getting those rocks that distance.
Also, who would sneak up that hill, which would be a trial unto itself, just to fuck with me? They would have been waiting for two hours! That’s some dedication! And anyone throwing rocks that size would have to know that there was a possibility that one error in aim or movement by me, could lead to my death.

In summation, I swear on Anything that this happened. I am certain that the rocks were not just falling down a hill. Certain. I know at least one of the rocks was large-which along with being able to scale the terrain, is my biggest roadblock to simply accepting this was some asshole(s) fucking with me.

I don’t have an explanation how those things happened, but they did.

i can't even begin to try and make sense of what happened. Glad you're alive man.

So, are you going back there? Maybe set up some cameras and try to see whats out there.

Lmao

Rocks fall in water

>>>attack

This explains a lot about how so many people get shot by police. They "got attacked" and accidentally unloaded 15 rounds into an eight-year-old
