A listener writes “For 16 years I’ve been having encounters with sasquatch in the mountains near my home in Skagit county Washington. I’ve only ever seen one of them once in the last 16 years but I know they have been around me numerous times while I’ve been hunting or exploring these mountains.
Its a family group with at least 5 individuals, judging from the different size and shape of tracks I’ve found. In the last 6 to 7 years I’ve been exploring there track ways and trails and I’ve come to believe this family group migrates from one mountainous area that’s plentiful in the spring and summer time to another region where there is a lake that never freezes in winter. I assume this high mountain lake dosnt freeze due to hot springs and other volcanic activity in the area.
This group has never displayed any aggression towards myself alone, however the one time I brought my cousin along with me they where less then pleased. It was the first time the big male showed any aggression.
I was pointing out track ways, tree breaks and a couple structures to my cousin when we came upon an alder tree that was pulled out by the roots and stuck into the ground upside down. My cousin was being vary skeptical about everything I was showing and explaining to him unroll we came upon that.
In his curiosity, he walked over and pushed on the inverted alder, and it fell over.
Immediately upon the alder hitting the ground, what I would describe as chest beating started followed by what I can only describe as chaos in the forest. I became intrigued and was trying to observe more but my cousin started crying and was urgently trying to get me to leave. When I realized how upset he was over what was happening I went from investigation mode to trying to get him to calm down and get his wits together before he makes our situation worse.
We made our way out of the area slow and steady trying our best not to upset them further. We never herd them scream or roar or make any vocalizations but when we got to about 100 yards from my truck, one of the group threw the top of a fur tree at us. I can tell you better details at a later date.
I am toying with the idea of some things but I would like your opinion about some things.”

I hope he put that tree back just the way they found it..
That would show good faith before they left.
One can’t fool around with a delicate relationship like that.
The friendship is between him and them only… no one else,
as much as there is a temptation for “more”.
Just enjoy it without wanting “more” which might ruin it.
I also hope he does not start feeding them.

I totally agree Lives in Alaska. Put the tree back and only go out there by yourself. Any relationship, and it sounds like this person definitely has one, is always on their terms, not ours. Take what you can get, if they want more, they will arrange it. I would definitely like to her what the listeners ideas area.

That’s awesome. Thanks for sharing.
Awhile back my husband tried taking us into the forest about 12 miles (in Skagit County) There’s a nice waterfall he wanted to check out. Honestly, if the road in was better maintained (it was way too rutty, and bumpy) I probably would have done it. About half way in I asked if we could stop? I got out and extended my hands, trying to “feel” the vibes in the woods. I didn’t get anything bizarre, but, said if something happens out here we’re up the creek. He agreed and we turned back.
I can’t wait to hear your whole story. Again, thanks for posting. And PS &BTW, we Love Skagit County. 🙂

He had me at “For 16 years I’ve been having encounters with sasquatch in the mountains near my home in Skagit county Washington.”…..no more needed, and that was within the first 2 sentences, lol.

Don’t bring guests all of a sudden. You have to take it real slow,. Bring one guy, but make him stay in the car, eventually let him walk around the car, after another month, he can go with you for fifty feet only….etc.
and NEVER point at their sign–structures, tracks, turds, anything–especially do not point it out to “strangers.”
We never even say bigfoot or any known such phrase when out in the field….we say “friends” or “wildlife.”

Real disrespectful to touch the uprooted tree and I’m sure they could read his negative attitude. That’s their home and you brought an unwelcome uninvited guest into it.

Whatever you do, Do NOT go back in the forest to put that tree back. That’s asking for it. Just stay out of their territory and let things calm down. You know it’s a choice whether to put you life in danger or not. 411 books will show you of just how many made the wrong choice.

Great story! I have friends that live in Skagit Valley, and one of them said he fell down a hill when he was removing a big rock that was in the road. He said that something stopped him from falling all the way down to the railroad tracks. He says it was a Bigfoot, but he was very drunk at the time. Every time he tells me about it he’s drunk. He said he landed in a next, and that something big was next to it. It was too dark for him to see. I know I’ll spell the road wrong but it happened on Chukanuk road!
