I will return on Sunday for the members I had to move my guests around this week.
Tonight I will be speaking to Erin who had an encounter in Washington State and Erin writes “I had a sighting years ago that was witnessed by many other people 30-50 maybe more, I have been researching a bit lately trying to find out if anyone from that day had posted the same sighting because how can you ever forget seeing bigfoot? My husband and I we are meeting my brother and his wife at a cabin in Gifford Pinchot NP (that is in the area of my sighting) in a few weeks hoping to get a chance sighting again, although I’m not sure that I want a face to face like I had before!”
I spoke to Erin last night and she has one of the most interesting encounters I have ever heard. The encounter took place in the late 60’s and Erin was within feet of this creature. She describes several odd things that happened prior to seeing this creature and she was not the only one who saw it.
Erin says “The eyes and face looked very human like. I think it was a male because it reminded me of a man. The body was covered in hair and he had this surprised look on his face. It never growled or showed it’s teeth it just had a look of curiosity and surprise. It scared me, I was in shock……”
I will also be welcoming Derek to the show and Derek writes “My story happen back in July of 2000 I was at scout camp. We where up high in the mountains in eastern Utah. The scout camp is called East fork of the Bear. This was the second year I had been there. This year I was getting my wilderness survival merit badge. So they would take us one night out from the scout camp mile north.
We had to make a shelter look for food. I went with about 5 other from troop. Two went off an made anther camp about 50 feet from us. The rest of us found a large tree that had fallen over. We found other fallen smaller trees took them over and put them leaning on it. To make a same shelter form the night. It took and six of us took pick these trees up plus a dad who came to help us. We put a tarp over the top and all crawled in and went to sleep. I was on one of the exit to the shelter as I have to get up in the middle of the night a lot to go pea.
So the night start out slow with us all scared as we didn’t want to be there. Well they start to tell scary stories and I really got scared and start having to go to the bathroom more. Well after about 4 hour everyone was a sleep and i finally got up to use the restroom. As I’m looking around me I saw a huge figure staring at me. I couldn’t make out a face it was to dark. As it was about 30 feet away. It was about twice my height so around 9 feet tall and was wide. With long arms and legs that would not go straight. It also looked like it had no neck.
Well as any brave 13 year old would do I got back in my sleeping bag and closed my eyes lol. Well the creature came over and found the four of us. One of the boy heard it coming over and started to wake everyone up. He started crying that is when it pushed are shelter over. Remember it took 7 of us to even move those logs it did on it own. Well we all start getting out of the shelter and start making a lot of noise. The scout leaders start yelling and every adult starts to run towards where we are. Well just as fast as it came it was gone. It made one crash sound as it left then was quiet. I didn’t see when it was up close it only heard it. Well when it scout master got to us. They thought we where pulling there legs. They told us to shutup and go back to sleep lol. After that none of us went sleep no one wanted to talk about it. We just left early the next morning back for the main camp.”

YEEEE HAWWWW Another great encounter!!! Can’t wait to listen to it.!!! Thanks Wes.!!!
Melissa K
I am on my second time listening! This show went so fast. Very interesting.
Wes

They need to bring back corporal punishment, but only the Christian kids would get wacked. The non binary wackos run the schools now.
RubenD S
Thanks Wes!
Carol Germer
thank you
F S
New show!
Cool!
Dayna A
I love you Wes !!!
Reed D
Thanks Wes.
BTW, how’s Bob Garrett doing? Haven’t heard from him in a while.
Have a great weekend Wes!
Reed D.
Scott Perry
I was wondering the same thing. What has Bob & the boys from East Texas up to?
F S
There were some disturbing issues with the tours the Big Thicket team offered.
Apparently, charging for services on Public Land is illegal. When they all got to the camp sight, Bob’s Team was confronted by authorities, the team left, and the guests were left to fend for themselves. Some had traveled great distances to attend. Not only did they not get what they paid and traveled for, no money was refunded to them.
There has been more questionable issues besides this.
Glen K
(New Jersey) When Wes Germer says a guest “had one of the most interesting encounters he’s ever heard,” you better listen up! He was right. Erin was an excellent guest, an eloquent speaker, and had an absolutely fascinating encounter! Derek’s encounter wasn’t too shabby either! Also it was interesting that both had their experiences as youngsters. Just a Great show!!
Erin Y
Thank you Glen! Something I find interesting in Derek’s sighting is the fact that I drove by East Bear camp last Monday on my way home from Lily lake, I live in Utah too!
Andrew B
Erin, if you’d like, I could draw what you saw. No charge of course. Just enjoy drawing. Here’s a few hundred of mine ~ all but one drawn out of imagination. http://Www.facebook.com/mycreatureencounter
Erin Y
That would be awesome! Can you do it from my description in the podcast?
Rick T
Thanks a lot for all your efforts Wes. Your work is greatly appreciated over here
Al G
Great show, but will have to listen to again…too many interuptions first time…..
Jessica R
Here we go ’bout to hit play. ? I so look forward to this to end my loooonnng work week. Thanks Wes!!
Raechele W
Thank you so much Wes.
Kim S
Great encounters….miss Erin sounds like a lovely lady, I wonder if the pupils are like ours or if there slit like a cats??.
Erin Y
Hi Kim,
The pupils were round , expressive just like ours only bigger.
NHSquatcher
Some people claim their eyes have no whites in them like humans. Is this true? Erin did you see whites of his eyes at all?
Erin Y
Yes his eyes had whites, just like ours.
Jessica R
Your encounter just validates these creatures. Hearing about the life long dream to go back to the place this happened and hopefully see another one, why would a person be so impacted for life if ‘it’ was nothing?? Thanks for sharing. Was the creature close enough to reach out to grab you if he wanted to?
Charles R
I just listened this day ERIN Y. First off great interview on your part and thanks for sharing. These extremely close encounters give us good insight into these Forest Giants. Most sightings the witnesses state that eyes have no whites, yet the really close ones like yours do suggest they have whites. In fact I just re watched Justin Smeja’s shooting of the young one on Destination America Channel a couple of days ago. Despicable shooting on his part but he did say the child did have whites in the eyes. Also the kindness expression is intriguing. Perhaps it decided it would stay and protect you in the night, while all others ran off. I have read of several incidents in which they saved lost children in the woods and brought them back to the campsite. Who knows. I think it is great you want to go back, relive that night, and maybe just have another encounter. Bob Gimlin states the same. Best of luck on your upcoming excursion and being a woman I am sure you are most safe, with these Sasquatches, anyway.
Erin Y
Thank you, Charles R. For taking the time to share your thoughts with us.
I am very excited for my upcoming adventure, Wes is helping me to pinpoint the exact cabin I stayed in! I’ll let everyone here know how it goes and camara and recorder in hand of course:)
Duane A
Very “inner resting” as always.
Erin Y
Yes Jessica, it walked up right behind me. As I turned and looked over my shoulder it was less than 12 inches from my face. I would guess that as I circled it I remained within that one foot radius, looking up locked into its eyes. I think about that sometimes, like Wes said it could have carried me away with absolutely no chance of rescue. Like I told Wes , it had a kindness in his eyes as well as in its expression .
Becky F
I think those adults that sat the little girl out by herself should be spayed/neutered! My ex-son-in-law did my grandson, River, that way when he was four years old. He put River on the porch to sit by himself because he was afraidof the coyotes howling nearby. The only good thing I can say about that sonofabitch, Thomas Curtis Ingram, is that he is no longer a member of our family. He was River’s evil step father. I’d still like to get revenge which is why I hate to hear that camp counselors did that to a child. Grrrrr!
F S
Where was the mother of this poor child?
Might have been nice if the kid was her priority?
Tamsin D
Wow! Two excellent encounters . I enjoyed them so much I replayed the show while cleaning stalls.
It’s a shame that in both encounters the kids were not believed. When Erin said the young girl was punished by being put outside, I wanted to put the adults that did that to her in chair in the middle of the Big Thicket at night and drive away. Of course things were different then.
Erin, you’ll have to tell us how your trip goes next Spring.
Bigfoot or not.
Thank you Wes, Erin and Derek ??
Jon K
Erin’s encounter was a class AAA:
1. Multiple witnesses and impacts (shutting down camp)
2. Extreme story detail, including weird/unexpected elements
3. No ambiguity/no possibility of misidentification
4. No foreknowledge of the subject
5. Obviously not lying
6. Only sighting (i.e. no ‘now let me tell you about the 16 other encounters I’ve had throughout my life)
7. Lifelong impact (world changed)
This is about as good as it gets. If you get anyone else from that camp this could be literally the best sighting behind Bob Gimlin’s
Timothy D
All good points Jon!
Melissa K
About a foot away?! I can’t imagine what I would do now, probably just fall over, let alone as a child. Yeeehhh..
Frank E
29th!
Gabriel H
Fascinating thank-you all
Gabriel H
Here’s hoping someone else from the event comes forward, Erin. How cool would that be
Pat T
Thank you Erin, loved every minute of this interview! Thanks again Wes for this awesome show!
Pat T
Wanted to thank Derek also, scary experience to say the least.
Ray R
Thank you Wes, Great show
Shelly S
This really was one of the best ones ever!?? Thanks Wes and thanks guests!
Erin-if someone else that was there gets in touch with you will you let us know? I can’t stop thinking about it!
Derek-Thank you, too. That’s got to be a scarey encounter for sure!
Erin Y
Hi Shelly, I will let everyone know if I hear from anybody. I keep hoping it will strike a cord with someone , maybe they will remember a story their father used to tell them that matches mine, I really hope so!
Timothy D
Great recall of your encounter Erin! Really appreciate your story which for anyone who went to 6th grade camp has to be able to relate to it!
Scott A. S
Erin, thanks so much for sharing. I really enjoyed hearing your experience. I hope you’re able to hear from some of those witnesses. I especially hope you’re able to make contact with your best friend. I’m guessing she may need the cathartic benefits of speaking about her a experience.
Thanks Wes great show
Erin Y
If anyone is still viewing this episode, I found my friend a weeks ago! We are having some awesome conversations ! She was able to confirm where the camp was located ,the land is now owned by a conservation group
Sheila L
Dear Miss Erin,
I am so sorry you went through this… your friend, too. :^(
Can you give a decent location? Road names and such?
God bless you & yours this Easter weekend.
Thanks,
Kevin
Brenda O
That is awesome! Hope you update Wes and come back! ????
