a few months back Art Bell (coast to coast AM) had an old gentleman on from west texas who claimed to have killed two "bigfoot" (bigfeet?). He apparently will mail the location of their grave to Art Bell via lawyer..upon his death. Now i suppose anyone can be a great actor...but the thing that got me when he told the tale was the deatil in which he went...as it happened in the early '70s when he and a partner were jacklighting coyotes. Apparently they were making quite a supplemental income at this time with the pelts. Now the part that caught my attention was that he was very detailed about their weapons calibers etc....and really seemed a no nonsense type of guy...now if you listen to this show at all you know there are some real crackpots on it...anyway ...they spotted a large creature in the lights of theri jeep and up and chased it...eventually shooting one and wounding the other...he described in detail (BONE CHILLING) how he was crawing through some brush follwing the blood trail and coming face to face with the wounded one and dispatching it with a handgun! it was a male and a female...now It was late at night (early actually) and I cant remember why it was they did not just report it...but I vaguely remember that they suddenly afraid that they could be tried for murder due to how human they really semmed when examined close up/...anyway the whole thing rang true to me and really freaked me out!

C'mon Gatehouse....tell us your story 
We were camped out with 12 kids as part of the camp program "under the stars" i.e. no tents just sleeping bags and mats. All the kids had gone to sleep and myself and two other counselors were awake telling jokes etc. keeping an eye on the kids. Just after 1am we heared a splashing noise from the creek below(we were about 3 0 feet above and 20 feet across from the creek bed) All 3 of us heard it and immediately quietened down, hoping to figure out what it was and maybe see what it was.
There had been reports of a mountain lion in the area so we thought we might get lucky and see it. The splashing then began to sound like someone splashing around and walking through the water, it didn't sound like an animal. Initially we thought it might be someone messing around with us, but there was no other way of getting down to the creek, and then the sounds started; horrible grunt and a throaty groan and a couple of sounds which sounded like a Japanese sumo. We threw a big rock down into the creek in the general direction of the sounds , shined our flashlights and heard and saw nothing.
We went back to our sleeping bags , nobody said a word. About ten minutes later we heard the splashing again, briefly and then no-more. At around 4 am I awoke and saw something looking over me I was lying down and in my sleeping ba g and thought I was dreaming seeing some shape above me. I awoke about a minute later and realized that something really had been looking at me, I looked all around but couldn't see anything, just the sound of some creature moving in the forest. It took me a while to process what had happened that night, and I thought maybe I was just imagining it all, until one of the other guys woke up and began talking about the sounds from there creek and how he wouldn't be doing the camp out again.
Also I was the last to sleep that night, the sounds had freaked me out, and i had a candy bar near my head when I went to sleep, it wasn't there in the morning!! True story.....IT STOLE MY CHOCOLATE BAR!!

No story form me..sorry...If I meet you over a campfire, maybe I'll tell.
But any of you that have seen something REALLY FRICKIN weird in the bush, will know what I talk about...
I am not some Greenhorn who freaks out at the squeak of a pack rat...
There are just some things you see...that you cannot explain. I woudl have prefered that I lived my whole life and *never* saw waht I saw. That's it...

I have a pretty good feeling I know what you mean. I now have twice in my lifetime seen things that could not be explained, no matter how hard we tried. I was not alone in both cases and the people who were with me were no newbies to the outdoors either.
IMO if you spend enough time in wild country you will eventually see something really "wild".
Nuff said.

Wow, this is an oldie 
Now when video cameras and camera phones and trailcams
and all kind of other crap became so popular,
I was expecting people to gather more evidence.
There is some sh!t on youtube now and then,
but not very convincing. Hm...

Nester has been playing in the archives again.
When I lived in Victoria way back and I mean way back for some of you. I was hunting clear cuts in the mountains seen something way across other side I am guessing a mile. Wasn't sure if it was just a bear walking on two legs or a sasquatch. But I was not going to get close enough to find out. No Bino's with me either.
No, I've been playing out in the bush again. I had the feeling something was watching me and it creeped me out and for some odd reason I thought of Bigfoot and his buddies
Spent countless hours in the woods alone and have never been creeped out like I was yesterday. Very weird

This thread makes the hair on the back of my neck stand up. I believe in the however. I think it's ignorant to believe we are the only bipeds around. It seems like there's too much folklore not to belive. Though I've never been into the "real" bush, just whats around here in central sask, If i was in the mountains I would definitely be on the look-out. If I did see one and had a gun I don't know if I would shoot. How can you be certain it's not human? I couldn't live with myself if I gunned down another human.
