SC EP:1075 I Ran As Fast As I Could

Damon writes “Hello, I wanted to just share my encounter I had in Vancouver, Canada. I was on a hiking tour with my mom,aunt, and cousin through a redwood forest. I grew up in rural Louisiana. So me and my cousin had plenty of experience of exploring the woods.

We were the kind of kids that were kinda rowdy and always getting into something at a young age. At the time I was around 16 years old when this happened. We were walking thru the forest getting bored of the hiking tour. So me and my cousin decided we were going to try to break off from this tour and walk through the forest ourselves, because we were passing up some really good areas that looked like they had some interesting things back off into the thickets. So we fell back to the back of the tour group, and saw a very heavily covered trail to our left and decided this is our chance. We ducked off through the bushes and made our way over some logs and branches. We walked through the winding forest for about 100-150 yards. Then we came up on a redwood tree that had fallen.

This really amazed us. The size of the tree even laying down was more impressive. We walked along the tree, with it being on our left side. Rubbing our hands along it as we walked down the trunk of the tree, coming up towards the roots that was exposed. Once we got near the roots of the tree, we had to walk around them to our right to get pass the roots. I was leading the way. So once I came around the roots of this huge tree, what I saw had me in a total shock. I came around the roots and I was within 10ft of what I thought was a bear at first. I stopped. And froze. But my cousin was still walking up behind me, and he made a noise coming through the roots and brush. This thing had it’s back to me and was in a squatting position. With shaggy reddish hair. It appeared to be about 5 feet in height at the shoulders.

So that’s why my first thought was “oh shoot, I just walked up behind a bear” I assume it heard my cousin, and it started to stand up and turn towards us. But it didn’t stand like a bear. I saw arms come out from it’s sides and stand up like a man. That’s when I saw the legs and head and shoulders. I cant recall if I said any thing besides run to my cousin. And we ran through the way we came. I felt like this thing gave chase for a minute. But I was to afraid to turn around. We hit the tour trail and ran until we caught up with the group. We both were hyperventilating and couldn’t talk. I tried to explain to the group what we just saw, but I couldn’t say Sasquatch. I thought they will think I’m crazy. So I just said “Idk ,I saw something back there”. We were both panicked.

I always tried to deny what I saw because it wasn’t the right color of big foot videos and pics I’ve seen on T.V. and books. So I told myself, it must have been a big orangutan the escaped or a red monkey. I’ve never told many people about this. Maybe 5 people my entire life. Just family members. Its was just to unbelievable even for me. Not until I heard a story on your show about a sasquatch the was a reddish color that I knew what I saw was exactly what it was.”

    Thanks for another great episode! Thank you Damon for sharing your experience. In my class A encounter I also took flight! I didn’t even have to think about it.

    I still think these accounts are, in order least likely to most likely:
    Completely made up for a prank
    Real event of another type embellished inadvertently
    Group sighting biased by belief & communally influenced
    A real event
    Misidentification
    A real event where the witness convinces themselves it was something normal.
    In any event people are experiencing something. You can claim nothing is happening all you want but that simply isn’t a possibility. It’s also not one thing.
    Thanks Wes! As always great Job! And thank you Damon for telling us what happened

      Interesting…I sometimes wonder, because I have this strange belief, like my brain is miss wired so that I think something is true if it has amazing audio quality and good music that …those creators would know the way an audiophile loves really fine speakers and good music and has gotten so fussy that they can’t tolerate noise , they would know when someone is full of shit and not want to hear it, let alone sell tickets and trick people to listen to it. Translation; I still have not listened to it, but I hope
      It feels true.

    P.S., Nolebez……
    In the words of the Late, Great, John Green…..
    Either these “Creatures” Exist….or they don’t Exist….
    Skip Forward….. Must be a shitload of Cops, Rangers, Sherriff’s Deputies, State Trooper, Forest Ranger, Loggers, Hunters, Military Personal…..
    ohhhh, them Game Wardens….. Gary Callahan….
    R.IP., …
    Anyway……nobody of a Reputable source has ever come forward to Speak their Truth….

    Great show AGAIN, thanks for such quality witness accounts. Thanks to Damon for such thoughtful recounting….wonder if he ever has come back to the PNW or WOULD now that he knows he didn’t see an orangutan? Also, gotta say, Wes, this is the only podcast where I listen all the way through the outro for the kick-ass music – love the music choices….crap now six more days until another SC episode….

    Thanks Damon, great retelling of the experience! Don’t let the experience haunt you or take away any of your joy in life. When you become unblinded through faith in God and Heaven all of the mysteries of life just might open up for you and you’ll realize you are truly powerful enough to manifest your life experiences, with all the wisdom and courage gained through trials, the protection, life’s gifts and achievements freely given back with Glory of God.

    I believe it’s possible for any one of us to go from any humble and simplistic lifestyle such as a fisherman baiting a hook and catching supper, to unlocking mysteries of the universe when he shines his light on you.

    So, who wants to know how quantum theory really works, how you can understand it and how the Great Pyramids are tied to scripture, tetrahedral molecular structure, God, man, and Satan and everything going on in the world today? Jk, 😂…maybe. 🙏🏼🌞❤️

    Great experience Damon. Reddish to brownish and shades inbetween, is not uncommon to the Bigfoot. Yes, it makes since that when you sneak up on them by accident almost always, they are probably consumed with eating and/or foraging for food. The whole coastal area of BC has so many food resources from plants to animals to fish and clams and such, it has to be a haven for the Bigfoot.

    The musical blasts at the end of the episodes kind of ruin my favorite way to listen. In bed. At night. Last night was especially unexpectedly loud. Woke the house up. Otherwise very entertaining episode. As usual.
