Many Bigfoot researchers believe that the hairy critters do hunt and kill deer and other small animals so that type of behavior is not totally unrealistic.

I might be taking a vacation this summer to the northern California, Washington/Oregon area. If I do get to go I plan to do some Bigfoot seeking while I'm there. There have been a lot of reports of sightings coming out of Oregon lately and I would love to get up there and check some of them out. Oregon is still the only state I have never been to so I would love to go just to say that I have been. In the meantime, I was just thumbing through the BFRO website looking at some of their historical reports and I stumbled upon this one that I thought was really interesting. It took place in Lampasas County, which is the place where I grew up and where I have had many of my unusual UFO/paranormal/weird experiences. I had never heard of a bigfoot being sighted in that area though. www.bfro.net/GDB/show_report.asp?id=4137YEAR: 1977
SEASON: Summer
MONTH: August
STATE: Texas
COUNTY: Lampasas County
LOCATION DETAILS: At the Lampasas River, between Copperas Cove and Lampasas, Texas off of Highway 190.
OBSERVED: During August of the Summer of '77, I had gone fishing with five of my school buddies down at the Lampasas River. We got there during the early evening hours (approx. 5:30) so there would be plenty of daylight for us to set out our trot-lines. We used a row boat to get up the river where we would set the lines up against the river bank, about 1/4 mile up stream from the overpass we had set camp under. Once the lines were set-up we would take turns going to check for fish and to re-bait the hooks. The first check came about 7:30. No fish were caught and the hooks were re-baited. The second came about 8:30 and still no fish; the hooks were re-baited. At 9:30 it was time for myself and Glen to go check the lines. Out of the six of us teenaged fishermen, Glen was the most level headed one. He was a non-drinker, non-smoker, Eagle Scout, and one of the funniest guys you would ever meet. The rest of us were a bunch of hoodlums that liked drinking and cutting up. So anyway, we set off to check the lines. We got to the bank where it dropped off a couple of feet and found the line (it had been marked with a red piece of cloth around the tree by it). I got ahold of the line and began pulling us down to the end as Glen was re-baiting the hooks which I pulled up. It took about 20 minutes to finish the baiting and we started back down the river (still no fish). About 50 feet from the end of our trot-line there ran a gravel bed along the rivers bottom from one bank to the other. So when you get to this point you have to pick the boat up and carry it about 50 feet until you get over it, then sit the boat back down, hop in, and take off. The depth of the water on the bed was only about 18 inches and when walking on it would make a very loud grinding sound, like rocks rubbing together. If you look around at the scene from this position you see the river in front and behind you but on both sides the river banks slope up and are covered with trees. From the top of the slope to the water is probably about 30-40 feet with an incline of about 15 degrees. So we get to the gravel bed and I get out first since I was in the front of the boat. I step onto the bed and pull the boat forward so Glen can step out. We pick the boat up and begin carrying it across. After about 3-4 steps we hear what sounds to be a very sharp cracking sound. We both stop and listen. Nothing but silence. We begin and again hear a loud cracking sound. Now we question each other as to what it was, could be. All of the sudden we hear what sounded like something rushing towards us from the West bank. We could hear what sounded like trees being broken, and we could see by the moonlight trees falling from the top of the bank coming straight for us. We are frozen and neither of us moves. Whatever it is, it is now coming right for us. It gets through the trees and is completely exposed to the moonlight. This thing looked to be 7-8 feet in height, was dark with hair, had a small head which looked like two orange, almost glowing, eyes, no resembalence of a neck, and very long, swaying arms, covered with hair about a foot long. This thing was coming at us VERY quickly. I fell backwards and caught myself with the boat. This was all I needed to snap me out of this trance. I held onto the boat and ran a hard and fast as I could over the gravel be. Glen was still holding onto the back and quickly hit the water. He too came out of his shock and we worked together to get out of there. Fishing gear, bait, paddles, cushions, everything was flying out the boat. We were screaming like a couple of 8 year old girls. My feet found the drop off of the gravel bed and I jumped in the boat, grabbed the only paddle I saw, and began paddling. Glen's feet overlooked the drop off and he went over his head in water. He quickly surfaced and flew into the boat and grabbed a seat cushion and began paddling. We made to the overpass and all of the guys were yelling at us, they wanted to know what had happened. We jumped out of the boat and told them all to get the hell out of here. Knowing we were VERY serious, we left everything, got in our trucks and took off back to Cove. We ended up at Glen's house for the night. The next morning Glen's brother (a preacher) asked us all about it. We told him the story and we was very excited and wanted to go check the spot. We arrived at the river and all piled in the boat and headed up stream. We got to the gravel bed and pulled to the shore where we saw it. We searched the entire area. Due to the heavy foliage we did not find any complete tracks. Nor did we find any hair. The only physical evidence was about 20 Mesquite trees which has been broken about three feet from the ground and some deep indentions in the ground.I have been to that same location many times. It's a popular swimming spot and a lot of people regularly hang out in that area during the summer. This incident supposedly took place way back in the 70s though so whatever it was they saw (if anything) is probably long gone by now.

When Ray and I saw that ufo we use to go fishing all the time in that same spot (Bolivar Landing at Lake Pomme De Terre ),,,,at least 100 or more ( way more) times per year. We haven't been back since and that has been about 7 or so years ago. I'm still upset about that and will probably be for the rest of my life. Those lil dudes know how to mess with a person's livelihood.

Sky I would of left everything too. What do these people who go out looking for these monsters expect to do when they come face to face with one? . What would you do? This story the bigfoot seemed aggressive . I think they are like all animals it was his territory and he wanted them out of there. . I for one have no interest in finding a Sasquatch .. ;D I would rather take my chances going onto a ufo.. than get chased by one of these big hairy apes .. Be very careful if you do go looking around.

OK. I actually had an experience. Of something...We were out in the bush with no other cars or quads (they are noisy, you know if they are around.). We went to a deadend of a logging spur and my husband and friend were trying to get enough satellites to get a GPS reading. Because we weren't exactly sure where we were or what roads went through. Anyway, I got bored and walked down the hill, approx. 1/4 mile, looking down (at rocks of course) totally obivious of any wildlife. Suddenly I heard a loud deep wuff/hoot. As deep as a grouse calling but X6 as loud. Then a scream. It started out sounding like a woman but then went into an eeeh eeeh eeh like I've heard chimps do. Then total (and I mean total) silence. I walked back up the hill not looking at rocks but occasionally behind me. I heard no vehicle sounds, no breaking branches. It was like a territorial thing. I told Dr. Bindernagle about it (our resident Big Foot investigator) and he (of course) got excited...

Last weekend! For the record: I smelled nothing (they are supposed to smell bad, bears also smell bad). I heard nothing (Bears seem to crash around without worrying about who they notify, Bigfoot/s can either be loud or sneak (from what I've heard). Cougars can yowl/howl sorta like a baby - I've heard one personally and its a lot like a REALLY BIG Siamese cat yowl. They don't wuff or hoot. They are very quiet - you will never know one is around unless it takes a fancy to you. Maybe I should have walked into the woods to see what there was to see. It just didn't seem like a good idea at the time. I was RELIEVED to get into the vehicle. And of course, the other people didn't hear anything and therefore weren't interested...

That does sound like a possible bigfoot encounter. Might be a good idea to get your resident bigfoot expert up to that area to look for tracks or other signs. There might be one roaming the woods. Let us know if he finds anything. I had a similar encounter a few years ago while hiking up a mountain in Nevada. I was out in the woods all alone when I heard this weird popping sound. It sounded like somebody cracking all of their knuckles at once except much louder. It repeated several times. I had read stories that said that bear sometimes will pop their jaws as a sign of aggression so I immediately looked wildly in every direction at once but did not see any bear or any other sign of wildlife. After several minutes of scanning the area for potentially dangerous animals I decided to ignore the whatever it was and continue my hike. That idea lasted for about fifty yards when I suddenly got one of my premonitions which was telling me to get the heck out of that area fast! I didn't argue.

Is this Bigfoot's big foot? Grisly find has Quincy, Mass. baffledBy Benjamin Radford April 19, 2013 A mysterious and potentially grisly find by two young boys in a wooded area has police and residents of Quincy, Mass., baffled. According to the Patriot Ledger newspaper, “On March 29, Sgt. Steven Leanues picked up what appears to be a decomposed foot that the boys found in the woods off Pantheon Road. Police Chief Frank Alvilhiera sent it to the medical examiner, who determined it is not human, although it appears to have five toes.” Tests are still being conducted, but the strange find has locals asking: What has five toes and looks like a foot — but isn’t? Maybe Bigfoot, but more likely a bear. Strange as it may seem, this is not the first time that animal bones have been mistaken for human remains. In 2004 a man in Fort Gay, W.V., discovered a human hand at about 9 o’clock in the evening while cleaning his vehicle at a car wash. It was inside a manila envelope and had a rubber band around the five finger bones. Police officers and two different county medical examiners concluded it was human and probably from a child or small woman’s hand. But the mystery deepened because the rest of the skeleton was never found, and no one of that description had been reported missing. Finally the hand was sent to the state forensics lab, where it was determined to be a bear paw. In 2011, a man in Queens, N.Y., found what appeared to be the foot of a young child in a back yard. The police were called, and parents kept their children close, fearing that someone had snatched, murdered and dismembered a child. Finally, a forensic anthropologist in the New York City medical examiner’s office examined the foot and identified it as a bear paw. Though television police shows like CSI often make it look like identifying human from animal bones is easy, in reality it can be very difficult. In his book “Practical Homicide Investigation: Tactics, Procedures, and Forensic Techniques,”veteran homicide detective Vernon Geberth notes that “Practically speaking, law enforcement personnel should consider all pieces of skeleton human until experts determine otherwise. For example, parts of bear paws are misidentified more often as human than any other animal. In addition, many animal skeletons lacking the telltale skull have been thought to be those of a small child.” Read more: www.foxnews.com/science/2013/04/19/is-this-bigfoot-big-foot-grisly-foot-find-has-quincy-mass-baffled/?intcmp=HPBucket#ixzz2R7KKdFQC

Sasquatch Speaks (Rare Audio Recording) [/color]
Published on May 5, 2013
Extremely rare Sasquatch audio recorded May 3rd 2013.
Audio of this calibre is extremely difficult to obtain. It's taken 7 months of persistence and a non evasive approach to build up trust to a level that this family of sasquatch feel is comfortable enough to let us hear their voices.
The first night of the year spent in a tent has given what is now my third vocal incident in close to 5 years. This is 10X my previous experiences.
My first vocal encounter in 2008 changed my life. Some wonder how a vocalization in a forest can have such a profound effect. I believe these recordings will answer that question.
As the owner and myself had another night of close interactions that have progressed with each visit, the late night gave way to some of the best recorded vocal evidence captured to date.
When you hear the voice of the sasquatch people, there's no mistaking it. It has a life altering and deeply profound effect.
We hope future investigations will provide more insight into this incredible species. They're not apes. Sasquatch are highly intelligent people that need protection from those who wish to hunt or harm them. This is a species unlike any other that deserves protection and the highest respect.

To be fair, Lois, human beings are apes. Apes, as a group, are perhaps the most intelligent animals on this planet; and we humans are the most intelligent apes. Chimpanzees have social structures that are very elaborate and complex, and they also happen to use their own language in the wild: hand gestures, facial expressions, screeches, and noises they make by striking objects.
Chimpanzees have been taught American Sign Language in captivity, and have demonstrated an understanding of numerical systems, semantic relationships, and even seem to understand time. They are certainly self-aware. A group of chimps who were taught sign language for the deaf were observed teaching it to other captive chimps in a controlled environment. Amazing stuff.
Why don't other apes speak? They would, but they lack the necessary neural connections and musculature to exercise precise control over the sounds they make. We're pretty unique in that regard.
If "Bigfoot" actually exists, the most plausible explanation for its existence would be as another member of the great ape family. The great apes are humans, chimpanzees/bonobos, gorillas, and orangutans. Never underestimate the intelligence of the great apes. Apart from us, most of the great apes tend to be rather rustic and lead a bucolic life eating fruit and leaves...most gorillas are exceptionally shy and will go to great lengths to avoid human contact. Gorillas are immensely powerful and silverback males can tip the scale at over 440 pounds...and that is not fat. They are solid muscle. Despite their fearsome appearance they are reclusive and shy. A great ape like "Bigfoot" would likely be similar in temperment to the gorilla.

Similar in temperament to a gorilla but I believe they are much more intelligent. Their intelligence seems to be almost equal to that of humans. That's why they seem to be so hard to find. They have both the wariness and stealth of a wild animal and almost human intelligence. That's not a bad combination for a creature that wants to remain hidden.

My belief's lay somewhere in between. I have not concluded we were off springs of Apes. Evolution what is that? One species changing or dying off . Why do the apes still walk besides us? I'm a believer of one deity and its creation. Do you think Adam and Eve were a pair of apes? I cannot prove anything of this one way or another. My family which consist of 11 siblings have never agree on this topic.. endless arguments since I was a child. I guess I'm my Mothers daughter.

I would have to concur, sky, if such a creature actually exists. I'm not convinced one way or the other, but I will say that a modern hominid like "Bigfoot" is certainly not impossible. Such a creature wouldn't even need to be a "cryptid" because as we already see from the great ape family, high intelligence is a characteristic of our group. Stereoscopic vision, opposable thumbs, a tendency to utilize bipedal locomotion, and a large brain in relation to our body mass are common to every great ape alive today. In our own case, we're likely too intelligent for our own good at times. ;D

My family which consist of 11 siblings have never agree on this topic.. endless arguments since I was a child. I guess I'm my Mothers daughter. I understand. As far as the theory of evolution is concerned, it's much more complex than that. Species don't simply "die off," causing another one to emerge. In the case of apes, modern evolutionary theory goes something like this: Chimpanzees/bonobos, gorillas, orangutans and humans are all cousins. We share over 97% of our DNA in common, and our anatomy and physiology is nearly identical. Our closest living relative is the chimpanzee and the bonobo. We shared a common ancestor approximately six million years ago. They evolved alongside us, we didn't evolve from them. I'm not trying to convince you of anything, Lois. I just thought I might explain evolutionary theory so you would understand what it means.

I was going to post a photo of the family tree that showed the evolution of apes and humans but for some reason my stupid computer refuses to post any photos. I'll try to describe it though.
Try to imagine evolution as a tree that starts with a single trunk and then branches off into many different directions. Big branches have many smaller branches growing off of it and those have even smaller branches and it keeps going on and on until you get to the twigs with the leaves at the end. In the case of apes and humans the common ancestor we evolved from millions of years ago would be like the tree trunk and then all of the different prehistoric monkeys and apes branched off in all different directions until we ended up where we are today with humans at the end of one branch, gorillas at the end of another one, chimpanzees at the end of another one and so on and so on...that's the way evolution is.
Humans did not evolve from gorillas or chimpanzees or baboons or whatever. They all evolved separately along different branches until they ended up where they are today. Buried inside the tree are also many shorter branches that had species of animals that lived and died and went extinct so that they no longer exist on the planet. That's what happened to the common ancestor that we used to have. It no longer exists along with thousands of other species of apes and humanoids, like the Neanderthal, that also no longer exist.
Sometime in the future it is even possible that new species will evolve from humans that will look totally different than we do now. They would be related to us but different. Some people speculate that this is where the grey aliens came from...that they are "us" in the future. I suppose anything is possible.

A blond and a brunette were walking in the woods, and came upon some tracks. The blond said, “They’re bear tracks.” The brunette said, “No way, they’re bigfoot tracks!” “Bear tracks!” “bigfoot tracks!!” They were still arguing when the train hit them.

I fixed the video for you, Shami. It took me a dozen tries before I finally got it to work right. What a pain this stupid new system is.

Instead of a Youtube tab they now have a video tab that will host videos from different places in addition to Youtube. If you click the reply button it will bring up a line of little boxes with a smiley dude at the far right. The video button is the fifth one from the right. It looks like a little black and white thingy. If you click on that it will bring up another box and then you post the video link in where it says video URL and then click the insert video button. Then go ahead and post the message like you normally would. The video won't actually show up until the message is posted. If anybody has any problems or questions with it let me know.
