Repeated encounters by Native American family

This location is in Oregon, I was just there a few weeks back and the local Native Americans are very open about the subject of Sasquatch. Some areas are very open but not far from the location is heavily wooded area. The report says “I have lived on the Warm Springs Indian Reservation all of my life, and I have had three ‘run ins’ with Bigfoot. The first one was when my first daughter was about 2 years old, and we lived at my father’s home at a place called Wolf Point. Back then (1971) it was the only house out there, and the house had a large sliding glass door that went out to the back porch. Back then, the glass doors were only 1 pane, and we had only a thin white sheet to cover it with at night. It was about 2:30 a.m. when I woke to hear my daughter giggling in the dining room. I walked down the dark hallway, and came around the corner and I was about to tell Diane that it was too late to be playing around, when I saw why she was giggling. We had forgotten to tack the corner of the sheet back up, so the sheet was only hanging by one tack, and the window was wide open, with the back porch light on. On the porch, there was a small bigfoot standing directly in front of the door, and it was jumping off the porch, then it would jump back up and my daughter would giggle and jump up and down. I could only stand there and watch, but I felt so scared I wanted to just grab my baby and run! Then it saw me and jumped off the porch and disappeared from my view. That seemed to break me, because I screamed “DIANE!” and she spun around and looked at me. Then I saw what I assumed to be the mother bigfoot walk by the window. I lunged and grabbed my daughter’s arm, picked her up and ran back down the hall. My dad came out and asked what was going on, and I told him. Being a very traditional Native American man, he got mad at me for allowing my daughter to “play” so late at night, and told me to go back to bed. He said that Bigfoot have traveled and protected our people for many generations, and they meant no harm to us, if we leave well enough alone.

The second time was when I was pregnant with my fifth child. Again, I was living out at Wolf Point at my dad’s house, but he no longer lived there, and had left his house to all his children after he remarried. I didn’t see it this time, but our dogs were barking up a storm, and I remember my Mexican husband (not believing in Bigfoot) telling me that it was only the cattle or horses that wander around the area. Then the sound intensified, and whatever it was was hitting the rain gutters outside. It wasn’t trying to pull it down, it was as if it was trying to intimidate the dogs with it’s size or something. It intimidated me!

And finally, my husband and my two younger brothers went hunting for rabbits in the Wolf Point area hills. They were all talking and not really doing a good job “hunting” when my husband looked up and saw about 100 yards away a figure standing in the distance. It was an open range with only juniper trees. They had been on the plateau, and he assumed it was a horse standing facing them, so that it appeared to two legs only – until it turned sideways and walked very fast away from them. My husband only described disbelief, being from Mexico and not really ever believing my stories. Then they all started chasing it! It went over a hill and they continued running their fastest after it, until they reached the point where it left their sight. He said he abruptly stopped, because they were on a cliff that went straight down. He described them looking for a trail or a ledge that it must of gone down, but there was nothing. It just disappeared over the cliff. He became a believer ever since.

The thing that stood out to my husband the most was speed that it WALKED, not ran. They were running full throttle, and they never were able to catch up to it. Also, its ability to go over the cliff. As the story with my daughter, just the fact that it was PLAYING with her until it saw me.”

    The first account I find pretty disturbing. Them having an interest in human children, in story after story after story makes me concerned about the possible motives of these creatures.

      Duke, as crazy as this sounds, I have a friend, who’s mother side of the family is all from Warm Springs, and this isn’t the first story I’ve heard of such from this area, with kids and adults as well. His grandfather told us many stories, when I was younger and used to attend the summer Powwow they have out there. His grandfather told us once on a fishing trip out there, how a Sasquatch helped detour fish towards him, during one of his fishing trips on the Deschutes river one year, when they were in the middle of a hardship.

    IMO, I truly believe that sasquatch are very much like humans. All primates (and monkeys) are very curious and enjoy engaging in social play, just as we do. Having had children, I can say with almost certainty, that young toddlers and even babies as young as three months old are able to recognize the difference between adults and older children.

    After my second son was born (within 9 – 12 weeks), he was immediately captivated, smiling with excitement, every time my oldest son and his friends, (ages 5- 10), played with him, even though he was still in a carrier. His “smiling and excitement” was different from that with adults…they know!
    I know all squatch are different, with different personalities like us. Since the grandfather believed they meant no harm, I’m willing to bet it was just a benign encounter…a very nurturing, caring mama squatch letting her little one learn and play with the “non-hairy” bipeds.

    Primates are actually incredibly loving and caring mothers. Jane Goodall actually learned how to be a better mom from observing them in the wild. Chimpanzee mothers engage in play activity with their offspring well into adulthood. As a result, researchers have discovered that the offspring who were well cared for and had developed a very close, loving relationship with their mothers, where much better adapted socially and able to successfully establish themselves within the hierarchy of the group.

    Sorry this is so long, but the more I learn about this subject, the more interesting I find it. At this point, I’m here for more than just great entertainment.

    Wow! Strange stuff! All said and done, I think Miss. Goodall, was a pretty neat lady. Weird as a beard, but she was kinda neat. As far as them being loving-caring, that only goes as far as they can tolerate each other. If one of the matriarch concubine-ish-types’, decides it wants one of the babies’ of another, it’s game on. Full blown tug-a-war. Then when the pieces are discarded, sometimes the frickin things devour them! Maybe that’s just the way they show all that love and affection. And please never forget all of those “caring-cuddly” types who wanted to make pets out of those mini-monsters’; some of those folks actually survived extremely brutal attacks, after having their faces bitten off, along with their fingers and hands. Cute, cuddly, yea; when they’re babies. Not when they get bigger though. Dang things can rip a car door of its hinges; just think what it is they can do to a human.

      You are also correct with your comment… I completely agree.

      You can’t have the positive without the negative… life is about balance of the two. Humans can be the most vicious yet peaceful creatures on earth, so it would not be a far stretch to believe Sasquatch are similar.

      Chimps can be brutal to one another and do rip one another apart, only to consume the body. There are true accounts of chimpanzees stealing new born humans for food; however, at the same time, some chimps, (including humans), will steal because of their innate desire to nurture a baby, perhaps because their new born died or they delivered a still-born. How many times do we hear on the news a report about some crazied woman using her car keys to extract a fetus from another’s womb?!?! Oxytocin can be a VERY powerful hormone!

      I also believe we should never make pets of any animal, unless domesticated such as dogs. These creatures belong in the wild. I know Jane Goodall would agree with your statement as well. Just because I post something positive (cuddly carebear) does not mean that I disregard the negative side as well.

      Life is about Nature AND Nurture, for all species. I see this everyday! 🙂

    If you go back into some of the beginning episodes of SC you will catch some stories about young BF watching and even playing with young kids without harm. Remember Mike the young BF who’s mother yelled when she found out he was playing with humans in the barn. When he meet the young boys he just gave them a big hug. On another note the older ones don’t seem to be interested in playing with younger humans. I hope in the first section that mom wasn’t training the little BF to hunt for food. It reminds one that when kids are young there isn’t any prejudice and they play with each other until they get older and some do become prejudice cause it comes with learning. Maybe this also takes place in the BF world too!

    The fascination that BF shows toward human children is unsettling IMO. I think it is very likely they have taken children throughout the years.

    Interesting that the grandfather stated they meant no harm and had protected their people for generations. If the creatures lived peaceably with native Americans for the most part and witnessed the atrocities committed upon them by foreign invaders, it might explain why they are more comfortable with them and why there are so many sightings on reservations.

    • Jacqueline O

      That is also a good point…
      I believe the forums, here on SC, can be a valuable tool for learning and educating ourselves about sasquatch, as most of us are capable of having a respectful, intelligent debate, bouncing ideas off each other. However, much of which we type is lost in translation, as we are all capable of miscommunication, presumptions, and judgemental behavior. We use all our senses to communicate. Unfortunately, our modern technology eliminates all these very important social cues. My mind is a brainstorm of thoughts and ideas, although it seems difficult to comment on all…
