I am broadcasting from a remote location and I hope my internet connection holds up. I will be posting the show later tonight for the members. It will be up a little later than normal. Thank you for your patience this week.
A listener writes “Hi Wes. I recently found your show and I love it. I went back to the very start of your episode listening and started to listen from the very beginning.
I am a professional outfitter and guide from Alberta, Canada and have been for 10 years now. I recent heard two different shows of yours that touched on my precise region (southern Alberta) and my experience happened less than 15 miles (as the crow flies) from “Gords” story (episode 57) on Mist creek in the Highwood river Valley.
A couple years back I was out in the bush in a remote, hard to access valley that I often work in and that’s when my life had been changed forever. Just writing this email is making me tremble while I sit in the comfort of my own home.
I was unable to get a view of the animal or creature that was responsible for the days events but I did have EVERY other commonly reported detail from other experiences on your show. The details include vocalizations, rock throwing (closer to boulders), that thick, lingering stench that will almost buckle your knees the second it hits you (thinking back I remember the odd feeling similar to having an oily residue on my skin immediately after stumbling into that smell. And lastly, after all that and being unable to see any sign of life or movement, I continued in the same direction and discovered the oddly fresh, piles of wild greens that were perfectly laid out on trail ahead of me. These piles were very bizarre.
They were stacked in layers as if the picker had been one plant first, then a second, then a third. These piles were definitely not natural and they were four of them. I do have pictures of the area and I got several photos of the salads that I could share with you.
Im not trying to get on your show but I would love a chance to be able to share my experience with you. Its not a story I’ve ever told anyone because of how it sounds to typical people these days. I would really appreciate being able to share this with you and get your opinions as to what was happening.”
I will also be welcoming JW to the show. JW writes “I stumbled across the show a couple of months ago as a result of my
experience and subsequent search to better understand what I had encountered. I’ve been on the fence in regards to contacting you and sharing what I went through. At this point, I’ve made it up to the mid-80’s in the episodes and after listening to a show today concerning the personal attacks you guys have been taking, I finally found the courage to email you. My experience cost me my closest friend and I found myself relating with you guys and absolutely furious as I listened while working. I’d like
to share with you what I experienced and later learned about the subject should you like to do so. I’m not going to write about the experience in this email because it is rather lengthy and I’m writing this on my lunch break. I will say that the encounter took place in Everglades National Park in the beginning of the 2013 summer. Since then, I’ve had an incredibly hard time dealing with the matter and even harder time trying to make sense of it all. The show has been of great help to me and, as others have said,
has been rather therapeutic. I’m sure you’re quite busy with life and the show, but should you like to speak on the phone, shoot me an email back and I will send you my contact information. I think what you’ve got going with the show is absolutely awesome and extremely helpful for those of us that have had the shit scared out of us. Personally, it changed my life and the show has become an outlet for me. Thanks for your time. JW”

Put him on the show. I wonder if it was leaving a green salad for him to eat, maybe a female…

Very Interesting…..

Oh, Wes, please post the pics of the greens on the path! I love SC, Wes – thanks so much for your great work.

Is it me or do we never,(well not never) get these pics, we can judge for ourselves, if some look suspect, we’ll say they’re iffy looking, if they’re tripped out, so be it, you can filter out some Wes, but damn, we’d all love to see them. They add to all stories and encounters and give perspective………

Yep, you’re absolutely correct. I think he posts his pictures on the facebook account, but not sure because I no longer do FB. I wish he could make a link above for nothing but his pictures. We all would love that. 🙂

Same here. The wife and I both swore off FB and we cant find all these supposedly posted pix.. (same with Tony Merkles podcast). usually all the good stuff does get posted online to FB accounts.

I know the Mist Creek area well and hike the remote areas of the Highwood alone, just me and my dog. Sasquatch Chronicles has made me think twice about traveling alone in the bush unarmed (except for my bear spray), and this one is so close to home! Yikes!
Gabriel H
Crazy… YEARS of listening to encounters and getting out there in the wilds and STILL, stories of all kinds keep rolling in… I love that I love the woods. Very interesting account. I’d love to hear it in detail
doug w
Hunted Alberta once at it’s vast. Coming g from a hunting guide who word in the bush when they see or hear something not right I take note. I would love to her the story …

Wes
I could use one

(New Jersey) Gee, what’s the big deal about seeing a pile of salad?! I want pictures as much as anyone. Say, a Bigfoot, even a Dogman. But a pile of salad???
Glen K
(New Jersey) Or……. Margo Robbie in a bikini?
pam
Hmmm…..Wes in Canada,eh?
Bringing back a sasquatch for his garage no doubt.
Would like to see him explaining that to the border guards.
