A listener writes “I am from Ontario Canada. This encounter happened 2 years ago. And to be honest it still haunts me.
So when I was 17 I was a co-Commissioner of an airsoft League that I ran with my dad. (I’m going to leave out details to try and hide who I am) But it was my job to go to the field and fix structures and just clean up things that people had left on the field.
Now this wasn’t a actual closed field, this was just a part of the woods that we marked off and built a field. I will now get into how it is all laid out. So you take a service road about a half a mile and you will be faced with a face you slip passed the fence and parallel to the road there are train tracks you follow the tracks for like 5 minutes ( I don’t really have a sense of distance for this part) you will come to a break in the woods on the side of the tracks opposite to the road a little ways back. (Sorry if this is the worst directions ever) so you can either keep following the tracks and there is another entrance but I decided to take the first entrance and work my way to the back of the lot. As I go in it is a kinda thick forest but as you head the direction of the tracks there is a hill with a creek that runs through the middle and a hill on the other side and a small bridge connects the two ridges.
So after fixing structures on the first side I go across the bridge to the other side we will call it B side. So I’m in the back of the lot and facing the direction that the tracks are going and I am hammering a wall in place for the base camp for B side now I have my back to the thick dark forest and I start to hear twigs snapping , now I do a lot of camping and don’t think anything of it as it’s probably animals like deer. (Oh how I wish it was just deer) anyway as I continue my work I start to notice that it’s getting dark and it’s about maybe 7:30pm so I decided to call it a day when I notice a more sounds coming to my left away from the last noises, ok whatever the animal is it just moved but I notice that now there are two different sounds of footsteps going on and soon I get a very Erie feeling and I can now distinguish 4 different locations where the footsteps are coming I turned around and drew my pistol (airsoft gun) I knew it wasn’t going to do anything but maybe if it’s just homeless people it would scare them as it looked real (we did have homeless people sleeping in the structures sometimes) so as I wait for what I assume to be people to come out of the bushes I can start to hear a clicking noise and I am really confused, I remember thinking “is someone F**king with me” and I as I was thinking of what this sound could be I hear the most loud scream/yell/hoot I have no idea what it was and as it entered my ears my stomach dropped and I almost threw up.
I’m pretty sure I dropped to my knees and when I looked up this tall black as night man/ape I don’t know came forward and the face made me cry. It’s face was literally something out of hell, i still see it when I close my eyes it will forever be burnt into my brain. As I was faced with this at least 10ft tall beast 3 others that were way smaller in comparison to the first creature come out. but I remember just standing and the only thing that flooded into my mind was “you are going to die” and I took two steps back and I remember it let out another scream and it snapped me out of this trance and I ran as fast I could to the bridge so I could get to the main trail but when I turned I could hear this thing take off after me. Now I run track and cross country and I do pretty good not top tier but I still place high this thing sounded like it caught up to me in 3.5 seconds and we were about a basketball court away from each other.
So this next part needs a little context there on top of the second ridge there is a trail that leads to the second entrance I talked about. So when I hit the bridge and was about to finish crossing I felt the whole thing shake as it I guess stepped on to it and for some reason I don’t know why I decided to turn and run across the ridge and use the second entrance and as I did that I heard a like whoop sound and on the trail that I took to come in(the original trail not the one I’m on now) on the side near a big tree a big moss covered beast like the first stepped out in to the trail and I literally was already running as fast as I could but some how ran even faster and made it back to the trail and the trail Parallels the forest I was just in so I was terrified that they would just jump out and snatch me but once I got to the tracks I was a little more calm.
I ran all the way back to the car and drove as fast as I could across town to my house and ran to my room laid down and replayed the event over and over. For weeks I relived it every time I closed my eyes. The screams echoed through my head and I couldn’t believe that It was real I basically had a nervous breakdown. I always had an idea what Bigfoot was but I never thought that it was real and I found your show and started listening after hearing how you treat your guest and see how people trust you I am willing to tell someone about this horrible thing I have experienced. Thank you for reading if you get this email.”

Can’t wait!
Many thanks Wes!

YEA..

Phew, I feel like I just went through that also!
The ‘moss covered beast’ was an interesting detail.
What’s so scary is their organization and communication around him and when chasing him. I’d be curious to know if looking back he felt like they ‘lived’ in those woods or traveled them often because they sure acted like the territory was theirs.
Thanks to the witness for sharing this, hope they will come on the show.
Cindy B
That had to be terrifying!
Augustine L
Wow. I wonder if the witness might try to draw it for us. Might be theraputic. (Ask Chris). Sounds like he would make a good guest because he needs to talk about it and it’s interesting. Did he tell the other people who spend time there? His dad? Does he carry a real gun there now? Or just not go there?

I’m in Onatario, I’d love to know where this is roughly.
Nicole E

Asheim
Wow really feel for the guy going through a bad trama like that to find out Bigfoot is real. I hope he will come on the show, would love to hear more. I think talking could be very therapeutic and help him. I would just hate having no one to talk to about it. Glad he found the show. Man ten ft tall with a hideous face. ?
Doug K

Rob P

Stephanie G
I was all set to read this before I went to sleep, but my eyelids literally shut before I could. Boy, am I glad I waited until this morning. The account really resonated with me and I truly feel for the poor guy. It’s goin got take more than one talk and I hope he finds someone who can help. Surely wish that there were therapists out there who had their own experiences who could be contacted.
Stephanie G
Going to take
