A listener writes “This is my brothers experience and he gave me permission to send you this since I’m the one who listens to you. We lived in a small community called Pollok, Texas.
Just 15 minutes outside of Lufkin. It was 2013 or 2014. My brother was either 16 or 17, just got his drivers license, so he was running the roads. He was headed to a buddy of ours house to go hangout. Our buddies house is only 10 minutes away down some backroads. As my brother was coming down a hill that crosses a creek. There’s a pine thicket on the left just before the creek that’s departed from the road by a fence. Just a common barb wire fence you’d see anywhere. As he was coming up on that creek. He saw what he describes as a giant harry thing.
He says that it stepped over the fence, crossed the road, stepped over the fence on the right side of the road and jumped down into the creek and he didn’t see it after that. Keep in mind the creek he’s referring to has a steep drop off that goes down about 10 ft so it was perfect for this thing to escape in. My brother doesn’t even go to his friends house.
He comes straight home shaking saying “I saw a Bigfoot.” My brother is a very serious and work oriented person. He’s not the kind of person to believe in this sort of thing and the fact he came home literally shaking with fear is why I believed his story. He couldn’t sleep all night and had to stay with my mom I her room. He wasn’t the kind of kid to do that. To this day it’s still hard for him to talk about it because he doesn’t want people to think he’s crazy. But after listening to the guy around big thickets story I had to send you my brothers story. To this day he doesn’t want to go out at night by himself.”

I totally believe his story. Especially with his PTSD, that he doesn’t want to go out at night alone. I hope with time the experience your brother had will become more tolerable. Take care.

What a crumby way to experience new freedoms. Imagine just getting your drivers license, life’s possibilities within your thoughts starting to open up, where you can creatively cross fences and are only limited to your imagination and drive… Then Harry Henderson steps out at the same time and he’s like “I’ll be the only one crossing fences around here, thank you very much!”.
Sometimes Big-foot seems more like a Big-jerk IMO.
You never know though… Maybe the Universe needed to give him that challenge to overcome, maybe the instance put him on a different or eventual path to something positive or the encounter bullied him from making certain bad choices.
I’m still trying to figure out or make sense of my own encounters, as well as trying to overcome my own thoughts and actions that seem to sometimes hold me back.
I find the psychology side of this stuff very fascinating and fun to talk about. I enjoy helping people, sometimes in the process I learn a lot for myself as well.
PTSD’s effects when it comes to witnessing something unexplained seems different somehow than known traumatic events. Maybe there are slight nuances to different stress events that I’m not fully aware of yet.
Are some forms of lasting stress more of a spiritual challenge to overcome, challenges of compassion, guilt, love, acceptance or self doubt etc? I think so
I think it takes frequent attempts in facing those fears (the bully) directly with action. You might get punched in the nose a few more times, but you’ll also get smarter and stronger, you’ll eventually realize when to duck and when to counter with the right Cross.🙏🏼🌞❤️
Have a great weekend everyone!
