I spoke with the witness and he was out in the forest late one night and had an encounter, Here is a small portion of the encounter: “So I start walking down the mountain to where I was sure our campsite was, I started to feel like I was being followed and watched.

I started hearing sticks break in the distance. I started getting a little spooked so I told myself to go to where the road was. I knew it was on my right side, so I started heading to my right. Heading that way for a while I wasn’t seeing the road. I started getting nervous. I stopped by this large tree and looked around me to get my barrings. About a minute later I hear this heavy deep grunt. And  its CLOSE. I almost felt like it was on the other side of the tree.

My first thought was that it was a bear. I stood very silent and listened. My mind kept racing… maybe its a mountain lion, maybe my friends are messing with me. So it felt like an eternity but I didn’t hear anything else. So I decided to just start moving. I slowly and as quietly as I could started walking away. I honestly didn’t look around cause of how scared I was. As I was walking away from that tree I heard brush and sticks kinda wrestling back and forth. I pulled out my phone and turned on the flashlight. I turned around and shined it in the direction of the noise. The noise stopped when I raised the flashlight. I didn’t see anything. I started making noise, yelling HEY and I picked up a rock and threw it towards some trees.

When the rock hit the tree I instantly felt this booming growl. I don’t really know how to describe it but it was deep and loud and I FELT it in the bottom of my stomach. I remember saying out loud, ‘Oh f**k’ cause I really thought it was a bear about to charge or something. With my flashlight out in front of me I start slowly looking around in that direction. Barely out of my flashlights reach I think I see this figure standing halfway out from behind this tree. I am fixed on it and trying to figure out if its my imagination or if its a tall massive man looking at me and I hear this deep breathing like someone had just ran a marathon. I thought about turning off my flashlight to see if I could see it better when my eyes adjusted to the dark but I was too nervous.

Just about that time I saw a arm come up and around the front of the tree. almost like he was hugging the tree. I KNEW this wasn’t my imagination anymore. This was someone looking at me. I have never felt fear like I did in that moment. I honestly felt like who or whatever this was wanted to do me harm. I started thinking about my newborn baby and how I thought i was never going to hold her again and Id never see my wife again and all these thoughts came shooting through my mind. and about that time I see this GIANT manlike Bigfoot step out from a tree and walk from right to left. He was about twenty maybe thirty feet from me. I could not believe how massive this thing was. I saw him in such great detail that there was no possible way this could have been a bear or a monkey or a guy in a costume or ANYTHING. I could see muscles and he had longish brownish grey hair and he was massive.

I have a friend that’s a bodybuilder and he is 6’2″ and huge but this thing was beyond human size. He was about 7 to maybe 8 feet tall and just GIANT. Broad shoulders and his arms swung when he walked. his hands where fists and they went down to about his knees. I was so terrified that I started shaking and I have NEVER done that. I remember he turned and looked RIGHT at me right before He disappeared behind another tree and I knew he stopped walking because the footsteps stopped. His footsteps where so powerful. I stood there shaking not knowing what to do.

Let me tell you that I have been around a bear before. When I was younger me and my dad came across a bear and I was scared but not like this. This had such a drowning effect. It almost felt like he just sucked all the air out around you and you couldn’t move. I KNEW that if I were to run he would just catch me in a matter of seconds. I always carry a pocket knife but I didn’t feel at all like that would do ANYTHING to protect me.

It felt like SUCH a long time just standing there waiting for something to happen. Then I heard a car. It was somewhere behind me. I didn’t even think about it I just remember I turned started running toward the sound of the car. As soon as I turned I saw headlights driving down the canyon road. I remember running so fast I was afraid of tripping on something and I knew that if I fell that… that would be it. I remember kicking my knees up to my chest as I ran to make sure I didn’t trip. Honestly all I thought about when I was running was PLEASE GOD let this car see me. I started yelling at the top of my lungs and bolting towards the car. I’ve never ran faster in my life. I came close to the road but not seeing the hill down towards the road.

I completely lost my balance and fell down the hill towards the road. I remember a pop in my collar when I hit the road. I got up just thinking that that thing was right behind me. The car had already driven past but I started running down the road. I knew I had broken something, (my collar bone) I kept running and running praying that thing didn’t come grab me. I never stopped. I finally got a car to pass again and I stopped it. It was a woman and a man. They asked if I was alright. I was so exhausted that I basically collapsed. They took me to the little ranger station area at the mouth of the canyon where a ranger went up and got my friends. They came down and were so surprised seeing me the way I was.

All of it was a blur when the couple found me. When the lady and man found me I was so distressed I was crying and breathing so hard. I don’t remember them asking me anything and I was too overwhelmed to tell them anything. When my friends got to me I tried to regain my composure but I just lost it again and started crying uncontrollably. My best friend took me by himself to the hospital and I told him what happened. I was shaking so bad that he had to pull over and calm me down. I got my bone aligned in the hospital and my wife came to pick me up. I told her what happened that night but I feel like I just cant describe it well enough.

I really just am trying to get this off my chest and hopefully get some closure or something. I don’t know. I just wanted to write in and tell my account cause it sounds like you all take this very seriously and also have had experiences as well. Thank you for your time and I appreciate your professionalism on the show about this.”
