im going to share an experience i had that eventually got me interested in bigfoot as a phenomenon. it is NOT proof even to me as i did not see the thing but i had a pretty crazy encounter two times at the exact same location around midnight deep in the forest at a lake i used to hike to with freinds. i like to night hike. again not proof but its what got me interested once i learned how similar what happened to me was with the bigfoot phenomenon.
first time we were sitting by the lake (really just a small pond). we had good visibility due to moonlight which is obviously when you go night hiking so you can see. we were just enjoying the quiet evening when suddenly a large boulder was thrown from the tree line into the water on the other side of the pond. it freaked us out!! the boulder was VERY loud with lots of bass and the tree line is too far away for a human to have thrown that thing.
i yelled out that i had a gun (i did not) and we left. no big deal and i did not really think about it after that.
second one was about a month later. i was up there with three young men from my poor neighborhood who i mentored. we were sitting at the lakeside and same damn thing happened. this time i was quite a bit more freaked out. you cant camp up there and there is no way to it except to hike a couple miles to get there at midnight? and to have the SAME thing happen? it was weird...
so we got really quiet and it happened again.... these boulders had to be bigger than a basketball... i yelled out that i had a gun again (i did not again) and we left. but this time there was crashing in the trees as we left and breaking of branches and i do not mean branches i could break. these were freaking LOUD man. and whatever this was it trailed us out for a long while and the breaking got closer and closer. one kid was shaking to badly that he could hardly walk. we were terrified. i had terrible thoughts running through my head about getting some kids killed in the woods.
i had the three boys in front of me as the sound was behind us and to the left in the trees. it got closer and closer and i stooped down and picked up a rock to hit with and this is the scaredest ive ever been in my entire life.... i really thought i was going to have to fight whatever this way. it was terrible. i let out the most intense and loudest scream/battle cry i could, several of them... and then it just stopped happening and we finished our hike in peace.
a few years later i got a brand new thing called the internet and ended up on a bigfoot sight (probably bfro) and started reading accounts of what people experience and everything that happened is textbook bigfoot stuff. the place where we were was even recorded on the site as a place where bigfoot has been sighted.
i just never could get over that happening twice in a row roughly a month apart at midnight in a place accessible only by hiking with large boulders thrown way to far for a human and being trailed out like that with the violent breaking of branches.
