Sasquatch Chronicles Blog

A listener writes “I’ve been listening to you for a while now. I’ve started an email to you several times but never followed through with sending. I’ve never told anyone about my encounter with the exception of my wife and I didn’t tell her details. Just that I had seen a Sasquatch when I was a kid.

My encounter happened in central Virginia when I was nine years old in 1982. It seems like yesterday because I remember every detail. I grew up in a suburban neighborhood but there were hundreds of acres of forest behind my house. There were motorcycle trails and game trails. My friends and I would go back in these woods to play and smoke cigarettes. I went back one evening right before dusk by myself. I was setting on a long just off of one of the game trails when this thing startled me by seemingly appearing out of nowhere.

I was absolutely terrified but I couldn’t scream. In fact I couldn’t move. Funny thing about it is I knew what I was I knew immediately that I was seeing a Bigfoot. Or in my young mind the one and only Bigfoot! I immediately remembered episode the Mutual of Omahas Wild Kingdom where Marlin Perkins said that Bigfoot and the abdominal snowman did not exist. I told myself that I was going to call him and let him know that it does exist!! Anyway, the whole story would take a long time to tell and I’d love to talk to you about it.”
