Hi Knobby,
Thanks for answering! I agree that a secondary paranormal experience is not necessarily related to a sasquatch encounter.
The main premise of my question reflects on what I have heard in different episodes. I am wondering if there are some people out there who have a better “radar” for things paranormal, and this increases their odds of an encounter?
I know there are many people here who do not necessarily relate their encounters for fear of ridicule (or being called “Sport”, lol), so I wanted to offer a relatively safe place topic for them to tell us their experience, even if only briefly.
Denise F, thank you for responding also! It sounds like you may be one of the people I have been wondering about? Do you consider yourself a Sensitive to paranormal happenings?

Hi Ben,
I often wonder the same thing regarding how the population of viewers will eventually react to increased media on all paranormal/cryptid subject matter.
Over the last 30 years, we have seen huge changes in the attitudes people have over anything different. It used to be that séances were all the rage, then they turned into joke fodder and people interested in the topic were kooks. Now, after all of the shows (radio, podcast and tv) hotels that boast haunted facilities are experiencing a marketing boom and a facility Mgr who does not take advantage is “sub-par”.
Used to be that people only knew about the abominable snowman (I am slowly raising my hand) and now I have a vocabulary of at least 5 names for the critters. And who could have guessed we would have multiple suggested types?
It will be curious to see where this is all leading.
Thanks for raising the topic!

A tragic loss, anytime someone loses their life via mental illness and feeling there is no option but to take their own life, we as a society have failed.
I generally like the written accounts better myself, but have found that time is too much of a constrained resource to allow it. Often I am downloading the content and listening to it on the way to and from work. (long rural drive, and horrible radio reception makes that an easy reality, lol).
When I find an episode that really resonates, then I will go in and read the written commentary, including what the other members have to say. I find this approach works for me because I am able to form an independent point of view, and then compare it to what others are expressing.
And 52 ain’t old!!! It’s the point when people are just becoming interesting!!
Brian
Have you tied contacting the park authority and asking them why this trail is closed after dark? It would be interesting to see if they cite “unsafe trail conditions” like steep sides, loose rocks or some such as the reason.
Once they provide the reason you can strain it through your bs filter and see if it has any merit?

Thanks for posting this. Did you and Chris take this video?
If you find something like this again, and as weird as it sounds, I personally would appreciate footage or pictures from right up close (think CSI distance, around 1 to 1.5 feet from the subject matter).
The closeups will show us alot that might not be particularly evident on first inspection. If you have videos or pics that you feel might be too graphic for some of the members, maybe there is some way on the forum you could share them and any people not wanting to be exposed to them could avoid seeing them?
I wonder if a thread on visual and/or audio evidence alone, without commentary, is possible to allow those of us who are remote to share in what is found?
Mind you, I appreciate you sharing these, so please do not take my suggestions as anything but offered with sincere gratitude.

Given what you have both said, I can easily agree to “strange”, might even edge it up to the “weird” notch!
Hi Denise,
Thanks for posting this.
Did you get close enough to the head to get a look at the neck and see if it was cut, torn, or twisted?
That would be a good picture to give us an idea of how the carcass was treated. (albeit a bit on the gross side, admittedly)
Brian
6 sets of bones in the forest in one place without cut marks is plenty weird, I have to admit.
It is near impossible to butcher deer without leaving cuts or saw marks in the bone, and I would think a poacher would want at least adult animals to make the risk reasonable. Also to kill 6 fawns at the same time, makes no real sense.
Whatever it is, there being 6 sets of bones I would also tend to rule out natural predation.
Definitely a head scratcher.
Denise, I am thinking the bird feathers are probably the result of an owl or raptor kill. What do you think?
Hi Denise,
Is hunting allowed anywhere near this area? If you find something like this again, look at the bones (specifically the ribs) and try to determine if there are any cut marks.
Where I live it is allowed for a hunter to take a deer, and then after butchering it you can bring the carcass remains back to the woods to discard of it. The only caveat is that you must be respectful and leave the parts (bones, fur, etc) far from a roadway or trail so as not to disturb or offend other users of the land (hikers, picnickers, PETA, etc…).
This could have happened and a carnivore like a coyote or some such subsequently dragged it back onto the road. When you butcher a deer (I have butchered many personally so speak from experience) the rib cage etc. can be surprisingly small and difficult to judge as to the full size of the animal on the hoof. If the hunter was respectful he would have removed as much of the meat as possible, so that is why I recommend looking for where he took the meat from the rib cage. It is the most difficult spot to clean.
