It was about 7 feet, broad shoulders, and curious

A young listener writes “Hi, Wes. My name is *********** and I live in Indiana. I am 14, and had my encounter when I was 13 in one of Ohio’s state parks. Many people don’t believe kids or teens when they say” I had a Sasquatch encounter”. They always say” Yeah, right,” or “You wish”. Here is how it started.

    My dad’s friend has basically became a Sasquatch believer, ever since he had a encounter. Now this is my experience. It was a partly sunny day, on Friday August 14, 2015. My dad’s friend name Dave Webster invited us to go camping in Ohio. Dave has sent you the story of when the first time the guys all went to the same spot. I couldn’t go because my mom was paranoid I would get snake bit. I should’ve listened.

    It was a 4 hour drive from Dave’s house to the State Park in Ohio. Riley, Dave’s son, had your episodes downloaded on his iPad and we listened to 3 of them on the way there. We spent Friday night at the campground, then early Saturday morning we finally started packing. This time we were packing only the necessities; food, water, empty water, clothes, sleeping bag, and more. It was a 2 hour hike to our spot from beginning to end. We were way far back into the woods. The nearest town or campground was 5 miles away. So, we were basically fending for ourselves. Dave told us about 8:00 how everything started last time. In the middle of his story, a tree fell. There was a trail near our site about 10 feet away from us, and not thinking we went down it. We looked and found the tree and it was 200 feet away from our site. It was a good size tree. Dave was like we should get a fire started.

    Instead of starting the fire at 10, like we always did, my dad started it at 9:00. It was completely dark by then, also the moon was out. It started to rain and we were almost out of water. Dave had a water filtration system. So Casey, Riley, Owen and I went to go fill bottles. Riley saw something moving and we looked. It was a cat. After we got done, we all had smores then went to bed.

     At about 3 am, I heard something banging against a tree. I immediately thought it was a wood knock, then I heard a grunt noise. I thought it was a bear, but the moon was out and I could see the shape. To me, it was about 7 feet, broad shoulders, and curious. I say curious because it was standing there in the moonlight looking at our site. It was between my dad and I’s tent, and Casey and Riley’s. One of the boys rustled and it grunted. I heard kinda like chattering near the clearing about 50 feet away from our tent. Pepper, Dave’s family dog, probably heard it because she started whimpering as it walked away. My dad told me to wake him but I was frozen with fear. The whole time it was beside us I was thinking ” Please be friendly, please don’t attack any of us”. Thank goodness it didn’t.

    The next morning I asked everyone did they hear anything last night. Dave said he heard the same kind of chattering in the same spot. Casey said he hear movement. Riley also heard the wood knock. Owen said he didn’t hear anything, because he was asleep. The next morning at 12:00 we left the site, packed up the camper, and then headed home.

    I wanted to tell you this because no one believed me. Dave didn’t want to back back unless we had more people. So , we went with them. You always say at the end and beginnings of your episodes, ” Guys shoot me a email about your encounter at wes@sasquatchchronicles.com”. I finally did. I don’t want to be on your show, but wanted to tell you my story. Have a nice day, Wes!:)”

    Thank you for sharing your encounter with us. I am glad that Wes has created a safe place for folks to share their experiences without fear of ridicule. I hope more people will be encoraged to overcome their fear like you did and tell of their encounters.

    Thanks for the report young man. It sounds like you had a visit from a Sasquatch. If I’m not mistaken your friends Dad is now a member here at SC. I hope you get to go to the Ohio Bigfoot Conference with your friends in May and I’ll get to meet you. Great job telling your story.

    That was a great story. I tried to imagine what you wrote and it felt scary to think that it was just standing there looking at your camp. Thank you for sharing. You’re very brave.

    Great Story! I had a couple of friends that were camping out in the Sierra Nevada, near Cisco Grove, in country from I-80 years back. They heard some noises outside their tent. The moon was bright and full and they could see this creatures cone shaped head and massive body! It eventually left their campsite and during first light in the morning, they packed up and left the area. These guys were armed with high powered rifles and sidearms. They were pretty tired from the sleepless night! Just down I-80 from that location, another contact of mine, told me how he was traveling west bound I-80 and had a dark hairy creature cross at least four lanes of interstate from the west side to the east side near Blue Canyon in a very time frame. Too many snap shots in time, evolving Big Foot to be anything but, very real!
