A listener writes “Wes, I have had a four encounters with Sasquatch. My first was in 1985 when hunting near Harrisonburg, VA. I was in a tree, it was 4:30 am, it was pitch black, something walked up to the tree I was in, walked around it a couple of times then started shaking the tree. I worked the lever on my 45/70 and chambered a round. whatever it was took off on a dead run then stopped about a hundred yards out made three very loud barks then walked away. I never saw what it was it was to dark.
1987 same area five miles north. I was in a tree tied in enjoying the weather. I was 35 feet up set off a well used game trail. I saw a doe and her yearling trot down the trip stop look behind them then take off with tails in the air. I thought either a big buck was following them or another hunter was in the area. Five minutes later a young sasquatch came creeping through about 10 yards off the game train following the deer. I believe it was pushing the deer. this animal moved through the woods without making a sound! It never saw me or winded me. after it passed through i rappelled down and eased out.
2013 A good friend of mine whom I told about my encounters asked me to help a young couple from his church. They were having sasquatch troubles on the place. He and I went to there home which is out in the country, sasquatch had taken all of there chickens and had killed some of there rabbits and one of there dogs. the husband works nights and the wife is a stay at home mom with a 8 month old at the time. We tried extra motion lights around the house. had two bugger lights put up. game cameras placed around. the husband got fed up and put a 4×4 sheet of plywood full of drywall screws on the ground in front of there bay window where the animals would stand to look into the house. that night the animal stepped on the plywood spiking its left foot it then dropped down on all fours and stuck its right hand. the animal went into a rage stood up cocked both arms back and shattered the bay window. The wife and child were the only ones home. She got the shotgun I left for them loaded with Dragons Breath shells which shoot a lot of fire and sparks. The animal ran off. the husband called me while he was speeding home and called the sheriffs. I got up and headed there as well. when I got there an hour later the sheriff and fire and rescue were there. There was blood on the plywood from the foot and hand. there was blood on the broken glass. and there was one highly pissed wife. she walked up to me on front of the sheriff and said “I don’t care what you have to do just make these things go away!” Thee sheriff took me to the side and asked what was going on. I told him what I knew. he would not believe it we looked at the blood print on the plywood it measured 19 inches long. I measured from the bottom of the window sill to the ground which was 6.5 feet. I asked the sheriff what animal around here has a 19 inch long foot that stands between8 to 10 foot tall, he just looked at me with a dumb look on his face. They wrote it up as a bear attack.
I called a friend of mine who is a gunsmith/collector like me. I told him what had happened. he came up from NC with a german MG 42. I brought my full auto AK 47 and we introduce the local Sasquatch gentry to the mad minute. after a few thousand rounds of full metal jacket and tracer rounds the Sasquatch left. They have not come back.
2016 A week before thanks giving in gold vain VA my wife and I had a Sasquatch cross the road in front of us she was driving and had to stop or we would of hit it. the next week we were there I walked the area and found a trail, tree breaks and a possible foot print. I’m keeping a close eye out because this is close to my wife parents place.”
