A listener writes “I’ve had a few encounters with Sasquatch but I have only seen one with my own eyes. Just a little bit of backstory.

My family was moving, in March of this year, from NW Arkansas, kind of in the Ozarks, to the Black Hills of South Dakota. We decided that while my parents took the U-haul truck up there, my little brothers and I would stay with our grandparents who lived about 30 mins out of town, near beaver lake, (If you google beaver lake you while see that it is one of the largest lakes in the area). Before I get into my encounter I would just like to explain how my grandparents house is set up.

If you walk into the front door you can look right and see the entrance into my grandparents bedroom, and straight ahead is their living room. To the left is the Dining room and kitchen, but the dining room splits into the kitchen at a 90 degree angle so that you would be facing the way you came in the door if you went into the kitchen from the dining room. From the dining room there as another door that was facing the left and in there was the laundry room and a large freezer. The freezer was under a very large 5×10 window, from there there was a guest bedroom and a bathroom, as well as the back door. If you go outside the back door there is a deck that is kind of high up, because this was a kind of split level house on a hillside there was a drop at the edge of the deck, but at the back it was level with the ground. There were steps out the back into the level ground that went to my grandparents guest house and down into the woods.

So back to my encounter. I went to use the bathroom one night and I looked out the back window and saw two pairs of glowing blue eyes, at first I thought that it was the lights that I had turned on, so I turned those off and I still l saw them. So I thought that it was a pair of hikers that had somehow gotten lost. But I watched some more and realized that the eyes were moving separately but in pairs, so two eyes would move together but the other two would move on there own trajectory. This immediately was a red flag for me so I sat and watched them for a few more seconds and I stopped and just thought nothing of it, even though it spooked me a little bit, So I tried to go back to sleep when my dog that was sleeping on my bed got up and started whining, I thought he just wanted to be let out but he went under the bed and had his tail in between his legs. I tried to goto sleep and just decided it was my dog being weird. After about five mins. I heard some heavy footsteps outside, thought it was somebody trying to break in so I looked out the window and I saw a conical head looking away from me, and I was super freaked out. So I hid under my covers until it was light out. I never told my grandmother or grandfather. I’m not sure why I just thought it was to weird to talk about.

So that was my first “encounter”.I have heard whooping another time at the house I moved out of. One time my dad and I were coming inside, from doing I don’t even know what, and it was dark. So We were walking into our house that was the only one for like 1 mile and it was in the county with no neighborhoods nearby. So our house was situated at the bottom of the valley and my dad and I were walking back into the house when we heard what we thought was an owl, but my dad said he had never heard of an owl that whoops, so we asked my mom to listen to it so we could verify that we weren’t crazy.

My mom heard it and we went back inside. And my dad started surfing the internet trying to find out what was making that noise. He couldn’t find any bird noises so he eventually looked up “Whooping noise” and the BFRO website showed up and he played one of the whoops and my mother started saying “That is exactly what I heard” and my dad just looked at her and said “That is from the Bigfoot Research Website”. So we kind of moved on from that and my parents thought it was just nothing. So I went along with it until one night a couple of months later my dads truck alarm starts going off, we don’t have very many neighbors so he grabbed his rifle and went outside, but he came back in after just a few seconds and he said there was something bigger than a person running up the hill. So we just carried on and he just turned off the truck alarm.”
