A listener writes “I had an encounter about 6 years back with a friend of mine, not far from my home in Grafton New Hampshire.
My friend and I had taken our daughters on a jeep excursion up an old class 6 logging road heading toward a defunct 19th century village called fowler town.
We stopped the jeep about half way up, at what is called the bog. The bog is a small wet “pond” that people have been known to have their rigs pulled out of there the wet season. This was early fall, early afternoon, beautiful day. My friend and I got out of the jeep and were talking. Looking back, there was no birds, no bugs, absolute silence.
Then the roar.
It was a bellow. A sound that growl started low, lasted a crazy long time, and ended in a high shrieking scream. It moved in my chest and body. I was excited and terrified. I told my buddy we had heard Bigfoot.
He said it was “just a bear” but he was scared real bad. He got in the jeep and quickly hauled me and my daughter back to my house while trying to act like it didn’t happen. He pulled away real fast and that was the end of us being friends. More or less.
So, that day I became a believer. I grew up here. Just outside of Mt. Cardigan National Forest. I know the animals around here and what they sound like, that wasn’t anything normal. It was HUGE. and angry. Although I looked across the 70 yards of the bog, I could not see anything in the tree line that day.
But I could feel it watching us.
Fast forward some years and I started my janitor gig this past fall. 10 pm to 6:30 am. My dog Teddy died two years back I think, Valentines day I recall. He always chased the bears off and away from the land around our trailer we have a creek out back and a swamp that is separated by a well worn game trail. Ehen we moved in 12 years ago their were stick “teepees” and stones placed in tree’s and all sorts of weird stuff that we didn’t know what meant anything.
After Ted died I have been worried of the bears around the property, but come to think of it, I have not seen a bear since he died. I have two small kids and I don’t drop my guard when they play outside. My wife says she hears large animals in the tree line while the kids are often in the pool or riding backs.
This last fall, when I started at Dartmouth, I would come home to find tree’s dropped around the property. My remaining old female dog will not go outside by herself and she sniffs the doorway every night and sleeps with the kids. My wife told me when I got home one morning in early spring, that a “bear” had been outside her window that night growling and huffing. Odd. Bears are hibernating.
Then a few weeks later she said a deer or moose was outside the window breathing heavy and scraping its antler against the side of the trailer. Even with crusty snow, not a single track in the morning.
Since I have started listening to your show my eyes are blown wide open! I had not realized that I was dealing with sasquatches, even though I knew they were real after my experience a few years back. Something slapped the side of the shed real loud last week immediately after I left the driveway headed to work at night.
My wife has strange fake dog noises calling to her from the tree line and I have weird recordings of odd “Owl” sounds coming from creatures that call back and forth to each other at night around my house. One night I heard the owls become Coyotes. Or at least one side of the calling became coyotes noises. I thought “weird, why would this weird owl thing go near coyotes?” And them I heard a painful yipping and violent squealing sound and a ” yack yack yack!” Noise with snapping teeth. And then it was back to just the ” Owl” noises.
Most of this activity seems to be focused on my wife. The real weird directed stuff doesn’t happen until I am gone at work. After listening to your show, my eyes have opened that a lot of this stuff has happened to other people. A lot of validation.
I contacted BFRO for help.
There is a history in my family of encounters, I realized my grandfather had one at his house in this same town when I was in my early 20’s and my dad says he heard wood knocks up at my grandpa’s farm.
A lot of things have come to light.”

damn .. I’m in N. h. Alot Cause my BF lives in Manchester So Wen he leaves 4 work in the a. m I will look on the ( Bigfoot bio map) and look for encounters are sightings in New Hampshire. I was going up to paw tuckaway State Park Because one day my boyfriend and I went there and got out of the car and we were walking heading towards the hiking trails and the small pond was on our right within the big dirt parking lot with a dumpsters are, and there was a massive train off directly ahead of us I heard it My boyfriend was too busy staring at his phone and the people that were in front of us that were metal detecting didn’t even respond so I assumed they didn’t know what it was. But that alerted me to their presence and I knew that they were alerting others to perhaps the humans for whatever is the reason that they do that.. But I recently went to the Merrimack River last week and found their Prince all along the river and I know it was their prince just based on the with and the size in the position of the prints, It was super obvious I was actually very surprised that they left their Prince out in the open like that. But I had to pass through some bushes to get to the prince to take photos and I could actually see the dermal ridges in the prints I sat there for about 40 minutes admiring them and taking videos and photos. and of course two days later the I realize those bushes had to have been poison ivy.. the rash is so bad on my leg I would say it is worth it for the Sasquatch. It also look like they had a juvenile with them and perhaps he or she was playing in the stand because you could see where something was sitting in the water and pressing the sand down flat like making a flat surface you could see though five little handprints dragged through the sand. I’m about 95% sure that it was their prince just based on the size in the oddness of where they were located a very steep sandy hill where I can’t see someone actually bringing their child’s cuz the child would tumble down the hill. But I’ve heard there’s been sightings along the Merrimack before. I also sorry black shadow that day move behind a tree as I glanced up I was too busy trying to figure out why my vape was so hot and I glanced over to the trees and saw this black shadow and I started speaking to it letting it know that I saw it and I got a really creeped out feeling but I acted like I wasn’t scared. I just said I know you there I respect you Why don’t you just show yourself. But of course there was nothing further and then about 4 minutes later a family of four came walking down the trail. So that place is definitely of interest to me now.

I really liked your story Candice W, and your awarness of your surroundings which leads you to find some really good evidence of the Sasquatch Population around your area.
As to the listerner, it certainly seems you have one or a group of Sasquatches fixiated on your residence and possibly others in your area still unknown to you. And they do seem to be more fixated on females and also children, wish I knew the reason why, so I can only guess. Hopefully they will watch over your wife as some kind of protector while you are gone. A few months ago I came upon a story of this person’s Aunt who lived outside of Minerva, OH ( a long time area for the Sasquatch reports ). She loved to garden all the time. She noticed a Bigfoot standing by the woods perimeter watching her many of these times, sometimes leaning against a tree. It did not bother her and she would sing and hum songs all the time, mostly religious I believe, and just go about her gardening, only making short quick glances and never stopping and just looking. Then one day her husband came home drunk and was scolding her something terrible outside. Out of nowhere a good size rocked hit him in the head and bloodied him and inujured him pretty good. It was at that time that her husband quit drinking and became a loving husband. The Bigfoot moved on and she never saw it again.

I bet it was your Aunt Bertha banging on the side of your trailer. She probably wanted to borrow some flour. When in doubt, it must be Bigfoot!!
