Sasquatch Chronicles Blog

A listener writes “Good morning Wes, I just wanted to write to you and tell you my story about what happened to me and a few of my friends one night a few weeks ago. I would just like your advice about what to do about it as well. I hope you dont think Im crazy.

First off, I am a sasquatch enthusiast and have been for for as long as I can remember. I moved to BC about 15 years ago from Saskatchewan where the sasquatch really isnt a huge deal to people. Me and my 2 best friends began talking about bigfoot on our car rides to work a few years ago where we would talk about stories in our area where we live. I didnt know at the time that this area in the BC interior has a huge rate of sasquatch sightings but after hearing the stories, we decided to take trek into the woods in not only our area, but closer to the okanagan as well.
We’ve found tracks and heard some howls in our trips but im not sure if those were sasquatch. We gone out on quite a few trips during the day and then at some point we decided to go out at night not too long ago. We chose a secluded area about 30 kms from my town where there have been sightings to try our luck in hopes of getting some kind of action.

Well, to put it mildly, we got a little more than we bargained for. We started hearing howls almost like a siren and while there are coyotes in the area, this wasnt a coyote. We started hearing footsteps in the woods around us and there were more than 1. We decided to retreat to the truck because we started getting scared. The woods went silent when the howls started. No owls, no frogs or crickets. It all stopped the second the howls began. We should have left but the other 3 with me wanted to stay and scan the forest with flashlights as there were no moon so it was extremely dark out. As I was scanning the treeline, I caught a glimpse of what I thought was a light shining back at me but it wasnt shining back so I focused on it. What I was looking at then blinked and a fear came over me like ive never felt before. The more I focused on it the more I could make out the shape of a crouched down figure. It was “hiding” behind a tree but its butt and thighs were sticking out the other side. The tree was only about 2 feet in diameter but I could see its head poking around it on the other side. I couldnt really make out any detail as it was about still in the treeline.

I then told the others and they couldnt see it at first but at closer glance they finally saw it. It didnt move a muscle. I had my brother , who is a RCMP member, with me and he began freaking out. I turned to tell him to shut up. It tooked literally 5 seconds for me to shush my brother and when I turned back it was gone. I asked the other 2 if they seen it get up and leave and they didnt see anything. Needless to say I was very shook up for a few days. I couldnt shake the feeling of dread. Theres more to the story than what I wrote , but I assume your a busy man and I dont want to take too much of your time.”
