Spoke to the eyewitness who is from the U.K. but she was in California for business. She shared some very interesting details about what she saw. She said “When the male rushed me the female stopped him and they were chattering back and forth, a very strange gibberish.” She has agreed to come on the show, her account is below.
A listener writes “Dear Wes, My Brother suggested that I email you to tell you about an encounter with a group of hairy things, possibly Sasquatches, that I had back in the late 80’s when I was working in California. In brief, I was trying to take pictures of Sea Otters at a beach near Big Sur when a group of six one male, two female and three smaller creatures came down out of a creek and the male waded into the water and started pulling seaweed out and throwing it back to the females that were chewing at its roots and rubbing it into the fur. This was about 100 metres away from where I was sat on some rocks.
The group noticed me when I tried to take some photos and the male charge at me whilst the females were screaming. The male stopped about 50 metres away from me and seemed to be having an argument with one of the females as they were gibberish away to each other. The last thing I remember was that it swung its body round to face me again, screamed so loudly that my insides were vibrating and slammed its fists into the beach. I think I must have fainted, but what I have never understood is that I came round about about an hour or so later with my jacket pulled over my head and quite badly bruised about ten metres from my car and could only assume that I was dumped there.
I drove back to the hotel I was staying at and they called the police who came and took a statement. I was forcefully told that what I had seen were bears nothing else. When I argued with the man he got really agitated with me and asked me whether we didn’t have Officers like him in positions of authority where I came from. I replied that we did but that they weren’t allowed to tell us what to put into a statement. He then asked whether I understood English to which I replied that I was English. He just looked at me and told me that I had seen bears and not to say anything different to anyone else if I didn’t want to get kicked out of the country.
I don’t know whether this is the sort of thing that you would be interested in as I am not from the US and this happened nearly thirty years ago now but I would be happy to write this up in more detail if you think it would be of any use to you.
I haven’t spoken to anyone else about this other than my brother who is a primate photographer and suggested that I contact you.”

Really looking forward to this one!! It raises a lot of questions what happened to her during the time period she was unconscious.

I am amazed at the power of these sound waves that can knock someone unconscious…

If the females weren’t there, she would have been a missing person. I bet the female was arguing with him to not harm her and his compromise was to rough her up near her car to give her the message to leave.

Lucky to be alive? You’re lucky to be a citizen of the uk so you dont have to deal with the police trying to intimidate you like in this country. Im ashemed to be an american whenever I hear of our own people trying to cover this up. Glad she ended up ok though.

LOL Christian H ?

I wish that one of these officers with the bloated heads would take on someone who has the means to hire a first class lawyer and take the matter of police abuse to the highest level. It seems that because many citizens (as well as visitors) are not aware that these taxpayer funded agencies are supposed to serve the people, not bully them, these agencies have far exceeded their authority. The complaint should be lodged not as a matter of what species attacked the person but the manner in which the victim was abused by the officer or officers assigned to the case. It is far easier to walk away and say nothing but then the next victim has to deal with an emboldened agency that knows it can get away with abusing the very people that they are sworn to serve and protect.

I can hardly wait to hear this show. I’m amazed she survived to talk about it!
Doug K
I don’t know which is scarier…..the sasquatch or the police. Hmmmm.
Amy H
Oh Man! This is going to be good! Blah-hahaha! That line asking if she spoke English and she replied with “I am English” is part of the reason why I love the English. They don’t intend to be funny but they damned are…. she is lucky though to be alive. Thanks for sharing!
