A listener writes “I was only about 20-30 ft away from it. It was moving behind 10ft tall berry vines. There was a clearing where the berries dropped down to around 7 ft or so, a small gap in the vines that was only around 3-4ft long.
So an area of berry vines that were around 7 ft tall and 3-4ft long. Our dogs stopped in the water to look at what was crashing around, a yellow lab and a German Sheppard. Both scared to check it out and frozen in fear. When the noise reached that gap in the vines, I saw, as clear as can be, orangish brown hair just like an orangutan has!
Even though I immediately thought something was off, I still knew in my heart I had just seen a bear! Because that’s all it could be. No person could walk through those berry vines. And Bigfoot isn’t real! At least that’s what I truly thought!
The thing that bothered me, was when I seen the top of its head, I was expecting to see the ears of a bear, instead, I seen no ears at all. Just the top of a conical head, like it was leaning over a bit and it’s face was t viable, no ears on top or sticking up from the sides of the head like you’d see on a bear. This all happened at a place called Bidwell Park in Chico Ca.
This park is at the base of the Sierra Nevada mountains and heads from up in the mountain canyon all the way through the city of Chico ca following the Chico creek. This happened on the outskirts of town but only around a 3-5 minute drive from neighborhoods! Not deep into the mountains but at the base going near the city. Those vines are so impenetrable I don’t understand how anything could move through them.
So yeah, theirs only one possibility for what I saw that day. And it wasn’t a human or a bear! Oh, one of my older brothers was with me too. I’m 47 now and was around 15 or so when it happened. It was clear as can be and is still clear in my memory! And also at a different time, a friend and I had a situation deep in the mountains. I took two friends deep into the woods to camp. We drove a 4 wheeler deep into the woods. We had both front and rear racks loaded and one drove while two sat on the back of the rack.
Something grabbed my best friend while we were packing out supplies back to the cabin. 2 of us were at camp waiting for the third to get back from taking a load of supplies back to the cabin. We had come in on one load, but knew it would be easier to do it in two loads on the way back. Let me know if you’d like to know more”
