Sasquatch Chronicles Blog

A listener writes “I heard your podcast about foo fighters and thought I would share a few of my encounters. I guess I’ll start off with my place is haunted. There’s some indian burial ground in the woods, the land has been in the family since the 1700s and l live a few miles away from cowpens battle ground. I also have a small junkyard, so there’s a little bit of history around here.

My first encounter with a ball of light, I was around 6 years old. It was early in the morning, and I saw it fall from the sky, shoot across the field and right before it hit the trees it shot back into the sky. I had just learned about falling stars and so that’s what I thought falling stars were for the longest. As a kid, until my teens, I would catch something out my bedroom window on occasion, and there would be these balls moving around the field and in between the trees. In my early 20s i was sitting with my buddy in the field, and I had just started noticing some of the weird happenings and was telling him when a blue light came down a went through the field, and I shouted, “like that there!”. That’s the only blue light I saw, the rest were white and they were all as big as a softball.

The last one I saw was a few years ago, I heard what sounded like an explosion, I thought someone was stealing car parts and ran outside. I had a flashlight that when you shook it, it would change to a strobe light, then a sos. I checked my cars and then ran into a storage trailer, that has some ghost in it. I had the light off in case someone was there i was going to give my position away. When i got to the last room i cut it on and it went straight to sos. I shook it but it wouldn’t change. I went outside and when i got out of the woods it went to strobe. There was a second explosion sound and i went back to the field and i saw the ball of light in the woods and it shot towards the sky. The closer I got to the house the better the light would work and when I stepped inside it started working properly. Also, people a county over heard the explosions as well.

I was in afghanistan in 2010, and I came back in November. A few months after I got home and I heard my dogs carrying on a ruckus and thought someone was stealing parts. I ran into the woods and I saw 3 sets of eyes they were about 4 to 5 feet high, big as golfballs and hiding behind some brush. I was hopped up on adrenaline and I thought it was someone hopped up on crack or meth. I called my brother and he came out there as quick as he could. While I was waiting for him, two of them took off. I have an uncle that stole a bunch of stuff while i was gone and he had piled up a bunch of logs 6 foot high between our properties to keep me away. My brother gets out there and it starts backing up, so we split up to trap him. There was a small clearing In the logs and i went that way to cut him off and my brother went another. My brother came up on it and he shouted “I see him, you want me to shoot?”, and it stood up. I’m 6’4″, and my brother is 6’6″, and it towered over him. It took off and jumped over the logs and in seconds was over a 100 yards away from us. We had small weak flashlights and all we could see was the eyeshine and it was a yellowish green color. I bought some spot lights after that.

A few months after that I was working on a car late in the evening, when I heard something in the woods. I then heard what sounded like a tree falling, waited and then went back to work. It started beating whatever it had against a tree for about a minute. I grabbed my work light and wrench and i got as close as the extension cord would allow. Flight or fight kicked in and luckily I wasn’t carrying cause I would have ran in. I wasn’t sure what it had, but from the sound of things my 7/8ths wasn’t up to the job, so I just stood there. About 15 minutes later I put my stuff up and made like the wind.

About a year later, me and some friends went and did one of the urban legends about a cry baby bridge. On the way My friend saw a strange creature, it was white, about as big as a deer, and had 3 legs. Having not seen it ourselves, We figured it must’ve been a 3 legged dog. On the bridge, the car wouldn’t start and it started to shake, after it stopped shaking, it cranked up and we got out of there. We got back and a couple of my friends took off, so it was me, my ex and a friend. I was telling him about some of the weird things that happened in my woods and He wanted to check it out. We start walking to the woods and it was quiet. We were about halfway to the field when we heard a fox scream and we started laughing. We didn’t make it far into the woods when my ex got suddenly tired. A few seconds later my buddy didn’t like it and we decided to leave. When we turned around I had this feeling something ominous was in there and it wanted to kill me. I started walking backwards with the spotlight on and my pistol at the ready cause I was expecting something to come out. There used to be a hired hand house where we were at and thought it was something ghostly until I started listening to your show.

The next year, my ex, her friend, the same buddy, my brother and me decided to check it out. We all split up and my brother went trucking through the woods by his self. Once he realized he wasn’t on our land anymore he started to come back. He heard someone else walking with him and when he’d stop it would take a couple of steps and stop. He’d walk, it’d walk. This happened for a while and then he started looking around. It yelled at him, and he yelled back. He scanned for a little bit and started walking again, and it followed. He made it to a clearing and he took off and he found us so we went in its direction. We heard it knock on a tree 3 times and it was gone.

One evening I thought I saw a flash light in my field, and I went to check it out. I have a neighbor several hundred yards away and they had installed a new pool light. I was halfway through my field when I was satisfied that’s what it was and not someone looking for a five finger discount, when I started to head back. My dogs had came with me and took off towards the woods. On the way back, they passed me running at break neck speed and I felt something behind me. I figured it was some ghost and said not today satan and kept walking. Well, curiosity got the better of me, and when i turned around i saw this thing. The moon wasn’t full but it was bright, and this things was black and tall. I could tell it wasn’t expecting me to turn around and it side stepped behind a cedar tree that’s around 20′ tall. It was about half as tall as it. I said nope, and started walking back home, one of my dogs came up and he wouldn’t go near the woods with me to get back inside.

Probably far more interesting a story, My uncle has touched the corpse of a bigfoot. If it was actually a real squatch or not I don’t know. He’s a hunter, deacon and he was a computer programmer, and the company he worked for had him travel a lot. I believe him whole heatedly, but it could have been an elaborate hoax. He was in Arkansas when He saw one of those bigfoot silhouette and stopped and talked to them. They told him to drive down the road and talk with a gentleman. He went down there and talked with him for a while about sasquatch and the guy told him that he’d probably like to meet his uncle. He gave him directions and my uncle made it to his uncles house. He talked with him for a while and then the gentleman said I’ll show you. Show me what? I have a body. My uncle said he was really nice guy until this point he said if i see a camera or phone I’ll kill you. Then went back to being nice when my uncle threw his phone in the car. He went in and there was a box 4×8, with a plexiglass cover. It was missing it’s head and its arms touched the bottom. He asked if he could touch it and the guy said sure, but it smells awful. They took the cover off and he touched it.

If you have any questions, I would love to answer them. Thanks for your time and especially thank you for your show, and I hope you have a great day!”
