r/bigfoot

First off, yes , I know it’s paranoid. But maybe I’ve watched too many movies or listened to too many podcasts. Camping (especially solo). For some reason I feel like I need to be armed with (minimum) some handgun in a caliber popular for grizzly bear defense. In the woods, I’ve carried 22mag , 9mm, and 10mm. (That I no longer have that one).

Now, really, in my state, you could protect yourself with anything from a 9mm . Unless BF is real (and a danger, which I consider all wild animals potentially dangerous). And maybe the 9mm would not stop him…

I don’t want to buy a 10mm. (Or have to keep fixating on a problem that is not really an issue) the only places I’d go (visiting) where there’s grizzly bears (and possibly BF) would be the obviously grizz areas. I’d probably be fine with a 9mm and BEAR spray.

I’m just wondering if I’m the only one being dumb and overthinking about this. I honestly have a therapist, but no way am I bringing up this irrational fear.

This video “Bigfoot Screams (Longest audio in the world)” has 2.3 million views on YouTube and is genuinely imo one of the most incredible audio-based footage ever recorded.

I’m having a hard time believing how this video was pretty much never discussed on here, or referred to one of the most important resources on this topic, at least not from what I’ve seen.

Check it out for yourselves! I will say in advance, there is obviously no visual evidence in this video to determine what exactly the creature is, but use deductions and you’ll realize no animal currently known carries such enormous lung capacity- unless it is something colossal.

This remains a mystery still from the time it was posted on YouTube.

Okay so i’ve been on a bit of a grind this morning for some reason so i have a question for anyone who has ever had an encounter. If you tried to speak or communicate or even just try and be friendly with them, how did they react? were they angry? did they reciprocate? or did they just walk away? i think hearing different opinions on this will show that Sasquatch’s really all do have different personalities

Really cool video showing something that resembles a bigfoot. Thoughts?

If the guys who warned me are on here, thanks again! I was solo camping/hiking in the Teanaway forest area (Cascade area in Central Washington state). I'm a 52 year old female who often hikes, runs and camps alone. You might find that foolish but I'm very confident and have never had any issues. Anyway, I parked near the trailhead (Middle Fork Teanaway trail) and saw two guys standing outside their truck. One was my age, shirtless, tattooed and was wearing a bear tooth necklace, and the other was younger with dreadlocks. After exchanging pleasantries, they asked if I had hiked there before and I said no. They told me I might want to be careful, they had just seen fresh Squatch tracks down by the river. The older guy showed me pictures on his phone. Looked like giant barefoot prints. They realized I was alone, no weapon, and were concerned about me. I thanked them for the warning-no way was I going to hike there now! I did ask them how they noticed the tracks and the older guy identified himself as a "hunter, animal tracker, Squatch hunter and gold panner" who was often out in the mountains, following tracks. They said they heard something big in the brush near the tracks and hustled back to their truck. Something spooked these guys enough to warn me against going on this hike, and I appreciated them telling me.

Okay so, first ever post and this just happened tiger so why not. So, my step grandfather is a very well read man. He has books galore in his office and there’s not a moment that man isn’t reading. The point i’m making is that he’s a man i know for a fact is very smart, well read, and most importantly, an army veteran. So, when I recently heard of the military encounters people have, I just had to ask him about it. Today was a family gathering for the 4th (we do it early) and i firstly asked my step dad. He was in the British military but he didn’t have any stories other than some pretty interesting ghost stories and folklore. Nothing about Sasquatch however. I saw my step grandfather was just sitting and not really talking as usual so i decided to ask him about it. I asked him if anyone in the military that he knew of had seen Sasquatch. And he said… yes. He said yes. I was shocked that i was actually hearing this and had the dumbest smile on my face i was awestruck as he told me his stories. He said that men all in the northwest had seen them, but they keep quiet in fear of ridicule or maybe even punishment. He also mentioned that “the Native Americans and them were mutual. they just kept to themselves.”. He said that to me and I was shocked because i had only read about this stuff and now i’m hearing it from my 82 year old grandfather who doesn’t have a crazy bone in his body. He also mentioned some dinosaur in the kongo that the military has apparently speared and killed. he said “long neck, body like an elephant and it killed the people who tried to eat it.” THAT was interesting since i’ve never HEARD of this thing before. So that’s that. Thanks for reading!

Has anyone other than Scott Nelson analyzed the Sierra Sounds? If so, what was their conclusion?

Please forgive me if this was already posted here. I've been on vacation for a few days. I just figured we should always pay attention to these kinds of things and be aware of who's up to what.

I am relatively new to the cryptid space. This time last year, if you'd asked me my thoughts on the matter, I'd have quickly expressed skepticism. I have a background in hard sciences and spent most of my life as a staunch atheist, although I am now a Christian by willful choice.

It is by pure dumb chance that I was recommended a long form testimony on youtube. It probably crept into my feed because I am high conviction on the UAP subject. Anyway, the first account I listened to was that of Fred Roehl.

I was fully expecting my bullshit meter to frenzy but it didn't. It seemed a sincere and incredibly captivating, alarming account. I have since listened to countless testimony. It is honestly amazing the amount of highly credible and genuine people who have openly detailed their experiences.

The probability that all these people are lying is effectively zero. The probability that all of these seasoned hunters, trained observers are all experiencing pareidolia is also zero (and laughable). It is remarkable how consistent these accounts are with one another. One might attribute this to people already having been immersed in the space, hence being able to incorporate common threads, but it is noteworthy just how many of them were strict non-believers prior to their experiences.

Add to this, the most compelling documented evidence, and I feel as though any reasonable person should regard it's existence as likely. The thing that really pushed me over the edge was the Sierra sounds and the video recording showing the damn thing ripping out, picking up and slamming trees. There is plenty of other data, much of it seems to be disputed, but I personally think the Patterson footage is real, and that we have a not insignificant amount of credible still images.

This might not be enough to persuade some, even to accept it as possible, but we are dealing with powerful, intelligent beings who are deliberately evasive. This is a being capable to dispatching an entire hunting party with relative ease, especially if you accept some of the supernatural elements. I really think they have the matter, to energy, to matter trick figured out.

Anyway, I now find myself firmly in the camp of believing Bigfoot, and other entities, to truly exist. I also skew heavily toward the idea of paranormal aspects. I am just hoping that with UAP disclosure, we might be able to persuade the government to disclose everything it knows about the paranormal.
