What Do You Think Sasquatch Is?

I ask guests all the time what Sasquatch is. I would like to hear form you, the members. What do you think Sasquatch is?

There are no wrong answers.

    Abomination. A wild animal that responds to rebuke in Jesus name or prayer? Try that with a grizzly and see how it works. It’s ability to detect and avoid camera’s, whose footprints will suddenly disappear, the odd anomalies that tend to accompany these creatures (balls of light, UFO’s, etc…), and despite the size and strength they, as a rule, only tap on windows and doors though they could easy rip the wall or roof off of a house to gain access. It all adds up to something ‘not of God’s creating’. At times it seems they are functioning under rules of engagement that we are completely in the dark about.

    The short answer is that there may be two primary forms. Most are a non conventional early human with an ET/ED nexus that impairs discovery who are part of an ET/ED genetic project. And some are ET/EDs themselves.

    Since my background is in science and anthropology, I think the key is in the evolution of bipedalism and the placement and size of the head on the body. That connects to being a hominin rather than a hominid. I think Jeff Meldrum is the best guy to trust in terms of clues. I don’t consider Adam and Eve for the origins of humans or Nephalim for the origins of Sasquatch.

    • Knobby

      Hominid is all the great apes including humans. Hominin is limited to our side of the divide from the other great apes, including any early man. For a long time Dr. Meldrum gravitated toward sasquatch being Gigantopithicus blacki, an ape that may have been related to orangutans. More recently he switched to it likely coming from some version of australopithecine, a species just before Homo, due to its footprints, etc.

    It’s just another uncovered branch on the tree of life , we see glimpses of it blowing back and fourth in the winds of time , but we cant reach out and grab a hold of it to fully uncover and understand how far the roots grow …

    Wow Wes, pretty cool to open this up to responses. Like most followers, we’ve clearly come to our own conclusions. Not really supportive of the religious aspects, but a few things stand out to me. I think there is a lot of interesting things that can be pulled from the broad range of “experts”. Them and Us is a fascinating book, though I feel he is reaching a large portion. I think there is something to the Neanderthal line. I work and have lived in Africa for sometime and find it interesting that there isn’t any substantive encounters down here. Neanderthals are the only hominid to fully evolve in Europe/Asia, cold weather forced them to have high protein diets to survive and they had to hunt formidable prey: cave bears, mammoths etc. or perish. They literally became monster versions of ourselves: research of skulls show that they operated at night as well as they did in the day, huge nasal cavities lead us to believe they could smell much better than modern man etc. Couple that with North American land bridges on both coasts and it makes sense that they journeyed to the Americas, but not into an unfamiliar hotter south into Africa. I’m not knowledgeable enough to speculate on breaking with Gigantapithicus (thus the size), but there could be something there. Mind speak? There a modern humans that we don’t understand the workings of the brain -savants, autism etc. evolution is still being understood, but what we often see as challenges in others, can survival differentiators. Orbs in their presence? No clue. Where do they hide/sleep at their size? No clue. Why does the Gov. hide this phenomenon? In my opinion, less about $ or that they are up to something – it’s just plain easier that way. .But Wes, you know first hand that they are real and the testosterone filled ones (like our species) can be unpredictable and very dangerous. Thanks for all you do buddy, I admire your work and commitment. Onward and upward, keep up the good work.

    I honestly think they are an “ape-like” animal that has not yet been categorized… I mean… maybe it’s like how there are Monkeys, Apes and Humans… all similar but different… perhaps this is a fourth category… I believe they have every right to be here… but we should have every right to KNOW they’re here.

  7. m99

    Personally I believe it is (they are) a human hybrids from the days of yore. As well, I believe it’s known by the higher ups, who may be using the species’ as a form of upgrading the Universal Soldier program. I believe (as it says in) the Book of Enoch that the fallen angels sinned against animals and produced various types still seen today. It is written in Vadic texts that certain animal hybrids were produced “in the clouds”, as well as certain demigods. I do not believe that means ET’s, but the principalities & powers of the air, as it is written in Ephesians. And as we all know, Greece and Italy had various “gods” that were half this or that. Case in point, the Minotaur ‘myth’ that ate human beings who were sacrificed to appease it from attacking everyone. It is my personal belief that in the distant past these different forms were produced. I know a lot of people think that’s all stupid, but it’s what I believe. I did not come to this belief in one fail swoop, and I’m not here to convince or debate anyone about what I believe. And you asked. 🙂

  8. Mauri G

    I think there are possible several different kinds,some have just been the way they are since the beginning,some have had there DNA messed with either by humans or by aliens(interdeminsial) . This would explain why some have more paranormal aspects to them. There DNA always shows up half human as well.I think it was Paul Freeman that talked about the True Giants, which I think are the Bigfoots that DNA hasn’t been manipulated.

  9. Augustine L

    Some–they walk like us, have humor, culture, and language, look like us….they have to be people or something very close to it. Some could pass if it wasn’t for the hairy arms and all.

    Others seem like monsters, but you could say the same about us.

  10. Denise F

    Richard and Mauri may not be far off, I can remember hearing a witness who had ties with the military talk about
    the ones that are ‘true bloods’ – that has always stuck with me.

    I lived around them for decades and spend at least 10 hours a week ‘hiking’ ….searching for clues. From what I see and experience they seem very physical, primitive and close to an early human ancestor. I find sharpened sticks they use to eat grubs out of logs, footprints where they are drinking or using water from the river and structures for shelters or communication. Basic but human like.

    BUT I believe some people are experiencing something different, something very paranormal or supernatural.

    Another thing I can’t shake is why is it Sasquatch, Dogman and aliens encounters can all share common aspects? I think you know where my mind wanders and it’s too scary to think on too long ?

    • Denise F

      It’s almost like they got ‘dropped here’ from somewhere else and had to survive like everything or everyone else.

      It’s the only way it can make sense that we see them hunting and swimming and living like any other forest creature but yet they are SO different???

  11. Melissa K

    First, Sasquatch has been an obsessive hobby for me for about 5 years now. I do have a degree in biology but don’t use it in my work.
    I love to observe the wildlife where I live. I have learned that 95% of people pay no attention to nature today, Tv, phones, got to get from here to there ASAP., etc. Hundreds of hours I have spent reading, watching documentaries, listening to shows like SC.
    Second, I have seen a Sasquatch.
    What are they? Pitifully, All I can surmise is they are a frightenly unique species that science will not recognize for whatever reason.
    Third, Thank you, Wes, for your dependability of pursuit in this mystery. You,Sir, are a riveting host of a phenomenal show. The best of the best.

    • Melissa K

      My favorite comments are from Robert M, so much information I am going to have to go back and read a few times, and also from Steve W, my brain hurts, too! So many knowledgeable people here I have to actually go back and read them all again when my brain stops hurting, wow, this was really cool ?Thanks, Wes!

  12. Mark C

    In my opinion, part Monster and part animal. I really don’t think there would be any human DNA. They are built to be a killing machine, may it be deer, hogs or humans.

  13. Marco F

    Hey Wes, Thanks for the forum to express and learn so much about this subject. I have a biology degree, a practicing health care provider, and a member of Mensa. I would want to say that Sasquatch is a flesh and blood relic hominin. Alpha predator of its environment. However it exhibits many animal traits. Why do Sasquatch and squirrels cross the road in front of cars when they can clearly go at any time? Why do dogs and sasquatch exhibit the standing perfectly still to not be seen even in plain site?

    I have an off the wall idea. What if the the Hollow Earth theory is a reality and sasquatch live underground and can easily hide and disappear in openings in rivers, lakes, caves, etc that connect to the Hollow Earth. That would easily explain why they are so elusive. Almost as if it’s on holiday here top side or we are just a hunting ground for it. This can also be why the government wouldn’t want to admit to any creatures being real. It would unravel all of which we have been taught or spoon fed in school. Anyway, just throwing ideas around to see what others think. Thanks for all you do!

  14. Thomas J

    The responses show that all answers could be correct. The only entity to have serious info on these creatures is our government and of course they will let everyone know tomorrow what they are.

  15. Rick F

    As a bible believing Christian I do not believe in evolution. Therefore Sasquatch is part of the animal kingdom. Since God used the soil to create the biology of man and the biology of the beasts of the field (Gen:2:9/2:19) there will be various DNA similarities. However, it’s the immaterial soul and spirit that makes mankind an imager of the living God.
    I do think it’s very probable that Satan is behind all cryptids which came after the flood. He was behind trying to corrupt true humanity in Gen 6 to try to thwart Gen 3:15. He did the same after the flood filling the promised land (Canaan) with giants. IMO Any abnormal creature is a product of the ruler of this world.

  16. Bonnie I

    Wow, so many different definitions of a Sasquatch! I do not know what Sasquatch truly is but I do know what he is not and that’s normal in any way, shape or form. Can not realistically categorize him yet into any certain type of animal or giant human species because just too difficult to know. Walking upright or running on all fours, gliding across a landscape like Michael Jackson, hooping like an ape or screaming at such a loud pitch it paralyizes his victim, talking/chattering at times to each other, being invisible/cloaking, having ET type skills yet smelling like a skunk/wet dog or animal poo all at the same time, this thing though very real is still very much a puzzle to me.

  17. Kenneth T

    Ok I’m reading all your comments and I believe your over thinking this first of all all the evolution by scientist are theories that’s it period. someone thinks this is the way it is or was land bridge , came from Africa , the extended sculls , exc what if they are all wrong they also say that bones don’t fossilize in some conditions so maybe they were evolved here on this continent I’m not saying your wrong I just think you are reading more into it than should be people say there dogs have facial expression I’ve been followed out of the woods by deer by moose and who knows what else When you say that animals see you and run to next county they don’t they run out of site stop and look back to see if you are following them they also stand perfectly still and watch you walk by you just don’t know it. My opinion and it’s only my opinion it that there animals and that’s it they just happen to look and walk like us if you want to think about it all animals have five fingers and five toes some are hoofs some are pads the bone structure is all similar so we all animals have come from a so called ancester ALL animals We crawled out of the ocean this is what is taught us . As for dna as soon as they figure out how they will find we all animals are related in some way. The scientist have been proven wrong many many times and will be proven wrong again. As for government they are attorneys and have been taught how to lie. Cheat. And steel so you will never get a truthful answer out of them. This is my opinion and only my opinion And Wes you are doing good for us all

    Interesting Question, what is Sasquatch?

    Highly Emotional, Curious, Inquisitive, Territorial, Communicates in their own dialect with each other, Knowledge of healing, Intelligent in the wild, Releases smells from their bodies when they sense fear, Reasonable thinking, been around for thousands of years. what are they? just another species that we share the earth with.

  19. Glen K

    (New Jersey) Perhaps the question should be WHO is Sasquatch? Regardless, It is a fascinating question that has not, as of now, been answered. I think some excellent theories have been given here on SC. My best guess is they are some kind of relic hominoid. I feel they have extraordinary physical abilities that far exceed those of man. I think their intelligence is also off the charts. I hope one day we can learn much more about these hairy forest dwellers, and vica versa . There are so many questions we have about Sasquatch. For now, however, they prefer to remain far away from man, and I respect that.

  20. William B

    A human species. Not unlike the human species that have become extinct. Their physical appearance, the way they act, the fact that they have not yet been “discovered” by science. They are very intelligent. I believe they have been “discovered” and the “government” has a number of specimens, perhaps even alive. I even think that some very rich hunter(s) has one stuffed in his special trophy vault. I believe that their existence is being kept from us. We all know what it would do to the economy if their existence would become public, the timber and recreational business. But, what if their DNA shows that they are human? In this country (anyway) they would have rights. Imagine the chaos that would cause.

  21. Angela W

    I think this is a big country with a lot of open spaces. Us humans ,at nightfall, we go into our little houses…and most of us do not run around through the country side at night. With that in mind, I believe there are probably several undiscovered nocturnal species out there. I mean what about all these dog man sightings? Why have humans always associated dark with evil? My answer: Undiscovered nocturnal species, part human, part monkey. And I think there are many other “creatures” that roam around at night also….

    • Glen K

      (New Jersey) Angela, you bring up some Excellent points. While occasionally we see reports of Bigfoot being seen in broad daylight, it seems Sasquatch is more mobile and comfortable at night- when most of us are asleep. I’ve read many accounts by hunters, fisherman, police officers, military men, etc. who are out and about during hours most of us are doing anything but sleeping! I’m always intrigued by reports of cars and/or trucks breaking down at night in the middle of nowhere. The passengers get out of their vehicle only to find out they are not alone. It makes me think that there are a lot more of our friends out at night than we suspect. I mean drive 50 miles, break down, and come across a Bigfoot. What are the odds?! Unless there are a lot more roaming around. Oh well, just another facet of this amazing mystery.

  22. Penny S

    It sounds crazy but I feel like maybe the first ones that were around were just animals. However once they started abducting humans… the next batch started acting a little more human. It’s just a thought. I really wish you had one in your garage Wes. That would be helpful. Thanks for asking what we think. Keep up the great work!!!

  23. jeff m

    I feel like “Sasquatch” has become a catch all for various unknown cryptids that share a similar bi-lateral body style but are unique species. These may be some original ancient species that have always been here as well as some hybridization that’s occurred naturally and perhaps some un-naturally. I think Erich von Däniken and Lloyd Pyes theories are onto something with how all of this is all inter-related. Mix in the biblical aspects and we are looking at a very complex question with some very valid explanations.

  24. brad b

    Based on so many varied accounts and descriptions of these creatures in terms of both their physical nature and behaviors maybe a possible answer is sasquatch is many things not just one. Some seem to be very close in nature to humans. Others more ape-like and seemingly closer to wild animals in their actions. Many are obviously flesh and blood. Others exist outside what we would consider normal reality and exhibit traits we would align with the supernatural and paranormal. Some apparently associate with aliens and whatever these orbs of light may be. And we can’t leave out the religious explanation involving the Nephilim or other folklore and legends that seem to point to the hairy folks.

    When we truly don’t have much hard evidence to work with it’s more or less impossible to say what they are or what they are not so until each explanation is proven untrue maybe we have to give each of them some credence even though we may as individuals think some of them far-fetched or impossible.

  25. Ulrike H

    I’ve never seen one but I’d like to, even though the thought frightens me. I’ve greatly enjoyed listening to your shows and all the various encounters that your guests and yourself have had. I’ve always wondered if Sasquatch was a victim of genetic manipulation as I do believe we were? I feel that we were on a similar, but not the same, evolutionary path and therefore we have a “connection” with them. They’re as curious about us as we are them. Many times they are described as being “ancient”. Were they bred to be a powerful tool for moving large objects, or for mining, or simply just manual labor? Then I even wonder if the purpose of the Great Flood was the act of trying to eliminate them? I’m sure that aliens could have manipulated our genes not once, but perhaps numerous times.
    Maybe I’ll have a different opinion once I have an encounter and live to talk about it!
    Thx for helping shed light about the existence of these beings.

  26. James T

    I believe they are a flesh and blood creature that has an advanced form of ESP. They seem to know what we are doing before we do it. What else could explain why one hasn’t been shot or captured?
    Then again they could just be the pets of aliens that are constantly monitoring them. That would explain the flash if light when they are shot. Maybe they were teleported. Who knows.
    Tell us what you think Wes.

  27. michael m

    I do believe in them.I have never seen one ,but I know I have heard them on several occasions.I dont know what they are.Some day maybe not in my lifetime we will know.Then we will have to figure out how to deal with it.

  28. Christopher N

    It’s a question that should be paired with another one: who are we as humans? Sasquatch has some human qualities. There are reports of seeing them sitting with their legs crossed, or using human-like gestures when communicating with one another. And I suspect that human society doesn’t want to recognize them as being real because that recognition would bring some uncomfortable realizations about ourselves.

    I suspect that Sasquatch is from the paranthropus genus, hominids that split off from the trunk of our family tree about 3 million years ago. There was an enormous femur of a discovered that scientists assigned to paranthropus, and the facial features that can be gleaned from the skulls seem consistent with descriptions of sasquatch faces. The thing is old, way older than we are.

    This theory in no way precludes interpretations of them that involve the paranormal. There is no reason why both understandings can’t be true. The one that stalked me for fourteen hours sure seemed to have paranormal qualities.

  29. Charles R

    We do not even know what humans really are or how we came to be. And the theories have become more complex and debated the older I get. We are a hominin and to me it seems the Sasquatch is just another hominin, the closest living relative to us perhaps, if the Dna testing done to date is accurate. Of course they are so uniquely gifted with their superior size, strength and athletic ability to survive and flourish in an environment much better suited to them than us, especially if you take away our tools. It is also possible they are more in tune with what is called paranormal abilities.

  30. Elaine R

    I agree with m99 and others, that these are hybrids and also abominations. Satan has been doing everything he can to pervert the human race in one way or another. He and his “fallen angels etc ” are still manipulating people and nature but just in different ways since the flood. These things are not created in the image of God and may be used to their greater capacity at a later time because Satan knows his time is short. Something happened after the flood that prevented them from having offspring with human women. So they are using abductions, or anyway they can to try and replicate themselves. Hence….all these crytoids, sasquatch, UFO etc. Its all part of his deception.
    They want our soul! Don’t beleive any of their lies. God created us……….not them!!

  31. Shannon S

    I don’t know what they are but the PTB dang sure don’t want us to know. So that alone tells me they don’t belong. Or are we the ones that don’t belong?

  32. L. Oriana S

    My two cents: I believe that although Sasquatch and other cryptids like dogmen may have been natural animals in the past but the military’s intense interest and cover-up leads me to believe they have been tampered with and enhanced genetically (cloaking technology, glowing eyes, telepathy, bulletproof skin, ability to mimic inanimate sounds, inexplainable disappearances and highly unnatural gait, strength and speed ) in the last 100 years for future military purposes yet to be revealed. The orbs and strange lights often seen around them also point to to an otherworldly aspec/realm that we know the military hide and denies. It seems obvious by the rapidity in which unmarked federal goons descend upon sites of physical encounters to sanitize them and destroy all evidence that these beings are being tracked and monitored. I also think you know the answer of what they really are from insiders you’ve talked to, Wes, and don’t blame you for not wanting to share what you’ve found out. It’s not worth the price you may have to pay. Having members conjecture on what you you already know is a good way to go. You could also write or dictate a piece of ‘fiction’ for plausible deniablity….at least you’d get it off your chest.

  33. Trey

    Going by my limited knowledge and the actions they have done in reports I’ve taken I believe them to be some type of unknown hominid. Could be related to Neanderthal or somehow related to us, a mix of the two or a completely new hominid science hasn’t recognized yet

  34. Thomas W

    I wish Sasquatch was simply an undiscovered primate or relic hominid….that would be great, given enough time and resources we would get a type specimen and that would that. Just like the Gorilla or more recently the Billi ape (a chimp derivative). But this theory just seems to fall apart…..very little physical evidence, no bodies despite many years of people looking, DNA studies of what little is found are inconclusive at best and then there are all the very strange things like avoidance of game cameras, the orbs, the successful use of Jesus name to rebuke them, association with graveyards, etc.

    Sightings are widespread, numerous (in every state in USA but Hawaii) and yet we haven’t seen a real clear picture for 50+ years, though we have seen lots of fakes. How is that possible with just an undiscovered animal?

    Now in just my own family, I have had one very scary encounter, two escort me out of the forest encounters while cousins have had one extremely aggressive encounter and another cousin has had the pebbles, whoops and tree shaking several times with a couple of glimpses in Myakka. But still no body? We have seen “it” and have zero doubt the Sasquatch (or skunk ape in our case) is 100% corporeal flesh and blood but the mystery remains. I have no idea what the damn things are!

  35. Paul A

    From the one I saw and the things I have personally observed, I know that they are humanoid, mainly bipedal (but quarapedal at need as they can run flat out using their arms as well), mammalian (females have breasts), and that they are alive in the classic sense, since they eat, drink, hunt, and sleep.

    Due to a hunting structure constructed on my farm, they can predict, plan, and construct tools for future events (hunting structure was designed to ambush whitetail deer based upon deer tracks in the area. It was designed to hide the hunter until the deer was very close.) The structure was unique in my experience, because it demonstrated numerous traits of high-level intelligence. The structure was constructed in a line of evergreens, by twisting off branches next to the trunk, hollowing out a spatial area that spanned several trees. It had an entrance from the center of the shelter belt, with a special camouflaged exit designed like a chute that the creature could sprint through to ambush the deer. I couldn’t have personally designed a better structure, if I would have needed such to hunt with bare hands, instead of force amplifiers such as a rifle or bow. Tracks inside the structure demonstrated that the hunter hunched down like a sprinter runner on blocks with it’s knuckles on the ground, and when the deer came through, it would burst into a dead run. The design of the outside capitalized on local flora to funnel the deer to the ambush spot, then restrict it’s available escape routes during the ambush.

    The whole structure seems to be predicated upon long-standing sets of deer tracks, both old and fresh, where whitetail have long used the outside of the belt for cover to get from food, down to a draw that leads to a local water source. The structure was also designed to originally use the dense evergreen foliage to hide the occupants of the hunting blind from view even within the belt, by leaving specific branches that would be inconvenient for movement inside the structure, yet joined together originally when made to form the outside camouflage.

    I thought the design ingenious, personally speaking.

    What do I think they are? I try not to think, I prefer to know. They are far too intelligent for my personal comfort level, that is what I know they are. It takes a lot of different high-level cognitive abilities to see a blank form of any kind, envision what it could be, then carefully construct in real life from said form what your imagination created.

    It explains why they are so hard to find, even when actively searching for them. To find any wild creature, you have to first be able out-think and outwit it. If the creature is both wary and highly intelligent, like humans tracking other humans, then it becomes worse than just problematic even when you know where they are. It they know the territory better than you and have more woods skills, it can become almost impossible even to find a trained human. Should be a hint.

    • L. Oriana S

      Paul A, your observations about a Sasquatch building a deer blind are the first I’ve ever heard. You sound both smart and very observant…I hope you’ll do an interview to tell more – as you must know, Wes and all of us are keen to learn of new bigfoot behaviors and that is a great one. I’d also like to hear about your encounter. Please consider it.

  36. Mary D

    Just like the Planet of the Apes scenario: My guess is that these are apes that evolved and acquired the ability to walk bipedal. They also developed an intelligence near that of humans. They may have even developed some capacity for speech. But they are not human. They may even look like humans (just like any animal has two eyes, two ears, nostrils, digits of some type on their hands and feet–all mammals have five finger and five toes even horses, even whales and seals and elephants they are just in different formation and arrangement.) Just like a hyena may look somewhat like a dog but isn’t, and a cat may look like a weasel but isn’t, a Sasquatch can look like a human but isn’t.

    I believe all sentient animals have evolved and adapted to their environment to exist in their best capacities, and all are related to each one another. That’s why I’m your one listener who is a non-hunting vegan bleeding-heart liberal snowflake. And yes, I am a Christian too, and I believe that God has His methods of creation, and they are scientific. God created all beings, these “ugly monsters” included.

    Simple as that–no more, no less.

  37. Darrell O

    This is a great thread and I enjoy reading peoples thoughts. I really like Nyla R. and Thomas W.’s responses. I have never seen a Sasquatch so I don’t know they exist. I have heard hundreds of eye witness accounts and I cannot fathom that each one is lying or misidentifying what they see or heard. With that said why can they not be documented? It seems for every major argument for their existence there is an equally powerful argument against. As a Christian I believe in end times and I suspect they play a role in it. I don’t have a thesis all written out, but it is more of a gut feeling.

    How can a 7-9 foot tall ape like creature roam all over North America and not be documented? How can a huge flesh and blood beast run so fast, run on all fours, crawl like a spider, leap impossible distances, climb trees, have the ability to throw small pebbles very accurately, have glowing eyes, impart debilitating fear into people, make a ninja look clumsy, leave just the occasional track way, harass homeowners, walk in front of cars yet be invisible when it wants too. Seems impossible and I don’t blame people for being beyond skeptical. And as I ponder this over and over in my head I always go back to the eye witnesses. Dr. Meldrum and Cliff Barackman’s analysis of the foot casts. And I think one of the most powerful arguments is the people who have an encounter when they are young and spend the rest of their lives investigating it like Derrick Randles or Wes. Obviously they saw something that changed their lives. Now you throw in biblical theories, Aliens, Woo, portals, hollow earth and Quantum Physics in the mix. I get it. The accounts scream flesh and blood for the most part, but the lack of documentation and incredible physical traits has to be explained some how.

    I don’t know what Sasquatches, Bigfoots, Grass man, Skunk Apes, Wood Boogers, Yetis or any of them are. I do know that it is one of the worlds greatest mysteries. People dedicate their lives to the subject and endure scorn and ridicule from the majority all the while wanting to see something they are afraid will rip their arm off and beat them to death with it. It makes no sense, but once the Bigfoot bug bites you it is hard to shake and it is hard to go into the woods without Sasquatch dominating your thoughts. I ride my ATV a lot in the woods and I listen to a lot of Sasquatch Chronicles while I ride. I often think that if I had a sighting would anyone actually believe I saw a Sasquatch while listening to SC? It makes me chuckle, yet it is always on my mind. I am not sure I offered any insight into the subject, but at least I got to share some of the thoughts that constantly go around and around in my head. Thanks and stay strong S.Q. Nation!

  38. Bob B

    From personal experience: Sasquatch is about 9’ tall, 4.5’ to 5’ broad at the shoulders, and, covered in hair and likely weighs well in excess of 750 lbs. Some witnesses speak of lights and orbs associated with concurrent sightings of Sasquatch. Most who brandish firearms at Sasquatch relate that Sasquatch recognizes the firearm as a weapon. The USG goes to untold and extreme lengths to silence any meaningful proof that Sasquatch exists.

    Is Sasquatch flesh and blood, in other words a living creature: undoubtedly, yes.

    Is Sasquatch a flesh and blood creature of this planet: I am dubious on this, and this is why.

    In an earlier episode, motorcycle guy attempts to rescue an apparent baby Sasquatch from a fork in a tree, but mamma and aunt/sister Sasquatch saves little Sasquatch as motorcycle guy watches. Later, old woman who owns the nearby property relates this event to motorcycle guy, claiming the adult Sasquatch told her of his chivalry and of their appreciation. How did she know? Well, Sasquatch told her. Not to mention nor ignore an unbelievable revelation by motorcycle guy as related by the old woman: youngling Sasquatches are taken away by the ‘star people’.

    Are the star people from the hollow earth or from off planet? We do know that right now a soft disclosure is happening as UFO’s and aliens (not from south of the border aliens) are being acknowledged as real. But let me ask, “Do you really need official government sanction to believe something is real?”

    Sasquatch exist. I read of too many accounts associating sightings of them and the presence of UFO’s, orbs, or unexplained lights. They and their connection to alien life and technologies is the base line explanation for why the USG is so ambitious to silence the existence of Sasquatch.

    I am uncertain as to what they are. I am uncertain about their planet of origin. I certainly know they exist. I do not believe they originated on Earth. If they are of Nephilim origin, then they did not originate from Earth as their paternal lineage is off planet.

    The universe is vast, and I am certain it’s life forms are just as varied. All of which are under the authority of God. Crazy as it may seem, I often wonder if Sasquatch was seeded here by visitors trooping through the galaxy.

    This is Going to be the most epic of reply streams I can just tell.
    I believe that humankind may very well be alone in the universe when it comes to sentient bipedial life.
    I know it’s a sad idea. What we experience as Sasquatch, UFOs, and other paranormal occurrences are actually our descendants from deep in the future when we conquer the universe coming back in time to visit Mother Earth. They are able to assume physical forms for extended periods of time, maybe like some exotic time traveling vacation, but they are also deeply constrained by the principles of time and that they discorporate if they begin to alter their own history. The butterfly effect is a simp!istic view of this. Sasquatch is us.

    Bob B, your insights are appreciated. Two points to add…I dug deep into the Montauk Project years ago. A key survivor of the project, Duncan Cameron, once said in an interview that the beast he conjured up on Aug. 12, 1983 to destroy the underground base (because the time travel and mind control experimentation going on there had became so evil) was an enraged bigfoot that could also manifest at will.
    The second point is this, which I just in an article about hollow earth
    “In connection with our research into different possibilities we offer the following interesting story which was reported in the January 1975 issue of “Saga” by B. Ann Slate:
    “In April 1974, Psychic Joyce Partise of Southern California held a sealed envelope in her hands. Unknown to her, that envelope contained a photograph of a Sasquatch footprint {Ms Partise said] “These things are coming from outer space – it’s an outer space war! The first area will be Portland, Oregon. There’s a mountain with a hole in it. Someone should investigate this mountain because they’re down in there already. You know those hairy things that run around, the ape man? He’s not an ape. They’re underground, in contact with outer space and their intentions toward mankind is total destruction! There’s a civilization of thousands of them their eyes are extremely light sensitive from being underground. These tunnels I’m seeing is part of their habitation. They’ve dug them. I think it may even go into California..” (https://www.bibliotecapleyades.net/tierra_hueca/esp_tierra_hueca_21.htm#What%20Waits%20Below)

    Just adding these to this interesting thread as food for thought, not final answers.

      I have been trying to come to a “theory” that is large enough to allow for all the phenomnon we experience. I have anthropological religious and forensic trai inge education and experience. My idea is sinple and sad. We, being the current population of homo sapien sapien are the only “intelligent” lire in the universe. We are the forebearers for better or worse all the explorers to come. It mat take a 100,000 or a million years but the abikity to move through time, whether it be a Black hole, worm hole or Alices rabbit hole will able to assuage their very human desire known as nostalgia. Happy fathers day sorry typos. this java box is hell on my 55 year old eyeballs.

    I have to say I find it odd that some people keep saying it will take a body to prove the existence of Sasquatch. We all know there HAVE been multiple bodies shot or found dead in the past – and as soon as any authority finds out, they get taken away by federal goons, never to be seen or heard of again. So if you kill one, what are you going to do with it? Buy a walk-in freezer to store it in? As soon as you tell anyon about your ‘proof’, you’ll have agents of some kind knocking on your door with a van outside and they’ll take it in “for identification” that will come back as “unidentified mammal.” Photos of it will be called fake. DNA analysis has already been done, only to be refuted without valid grounds. Anyone who presents new DNA evidence will be personally attacked to destroy their credibility. I’d really like to hear from Wes exactly what he would do if he got a call that was told there was a fresh body in his vicinity, or who exactly he would call to report it.

    I’m in complete agreement with Nyla. I believe they are part of the nephilim. There was a second attempt of continuing corruption after the flood, and this is what Sasquatch is. They mated humans with apes, all apes, which explains the different types. I don’t know why, but I believe the human/gorilla are the original, bluebloods if you will, later came the others. This is what we see today associated with orbs and UFO’s. I also believe our national parks weren’t created to save our land from development and for us all to enjoy. I believe they were created to give Sasquatch, and whatever else is out there, a place to live, away from humans. But as our population grows, more and more people are out there encountering them. They are populating fast, as well, and we are close to a breaking point. Like, the veil is thinning.
    The government definitely knows something we aren’t being told. Like, the fairy tales we grew up with. I think there’s some truth to the fairy tales. The Fe Fi Fo Fum, I smell the blood of an englishman. The giants are definitely part of all this too, perhaps they survived the flood, living way up in the mountains? Werewolves, Fairies, Elves etc. There’s some truth to these tales and they aren’t friendly. It seems that the past 10 years or so, more and more of this stuff is being discovered and talked about. Our answers are in Antarctica, the truth is there I believe. I’ve also wondered if the “Climate Change” has something to do with what is in Antarctica. Politicians talk about how it’s the biggest threat to mankind right now. Nothing can be more threatening to a politician, than the truth, lol. I know I’m way out there lol. I have been obsessed with Sasquatch since I saw Legend of Boggy Creek. So if the earth begins to warm up, the ice melts, what’s under the ice? They talk of an underground world…what’s down there? I don’t think it matches what we have beem told all our lives about evolving from apes. Whatever it is, they are having a hard time controlling it.
    So that’s my Sasquatch theory. They are of flesh and blood and nephilim. They don’t belong here. It’s amazing to me how much they know about us, yet we know nothing of them. It feels like something is about to happen soon, does anyone else feel that way? And Wes has given us an amazing gift, a platform for us all to share and talk about it, without being ridiculed. I hope to be with all of you, and with Wes when we find out! Apologies for the bad grammar…

    As I answered before, an abomination. I would never try to convince others, this is my opinion and belief only.
    Genis- a very informational and spiritual book. Careful study provides us with the information that we were visited by God’s ( plural ). That when God created man and woman, it was the agricultural age. The “caveman ECT.” were already here. Also that our God is the most powerful God and we are not to worship ANY other.
    The dead Sea Scrolls tells us that energy is the most important trait. Could this be because our God is pure energy. Can that be the the explanation that it is said we are made in his image. The life giving energy that gives us ….life. Oh and it has been wondered about the burning force that had to be shielded from when the commandments were presented. Is it such a leap to believe that enough energy used right can destroy or create anything ? Then there is the question of where did our God and the lesser god’s come from? Are they aliens? Hmmm, I believe they were. It’s the only answer for me and if they were aliens have been here since the beginning of our time.
    I’m throwing this in just for food for thought. Supposedly there was an interigation done of a couple of aliens being housed at area 51… I know that they were housed there because my uncle was in charge of the care of at least one. When it was transferred to weight patterson

When it was transferred to Wright patterson so was my uncle. Suppose when they were interigaret, debreifed whatever they called it, that they decided the aliens do lie because they were told by one that several thousand years ago they were allowed to genicly manipulate, cross whatever you call it , human genes with apes genes. The interviewer wasn’t making the right connection. Can you?
    The aliens have been here forever, the government (Air Force) has known since forever about the aliens, therefore knowing about the chimeras(?) being developed underground was a natural chain of events. The aliens are so far advanced from us, I feel, the government has no choice but to keep this covered up. Maybe even how to keep it covered up. Oh and it definitely still being done. Take dogman. They’ve been reported as looking like dogs and wolves. Some look like german shepherds (amongst other types of dogs) so german shepherds were developed in i think around the late 1800’s early 1900’s…..
    Anyway this is my belief, I can only try to read all things relevant and try to judge the best i can. Also the Bible tells us the Lord will call the beasts from the fields and the beasts of the forests to devour the people he chooses. I feel this will be at the end of times. Maybe I’m crazy maybe not. You judge….

    I’m going to share some thoughts about Big Foot and the reports of his behavior and appearance. I’d appreciate not being trolled angrily, as I’m not trolling anyone here. I’m writing to give my own evolving perspective from a skeptical point of view about how Big Foot sightings are described.
    I am not going to address the paranormal ideas sometimes presented. I can make sense of Big Foot being a flesh and blood animal, but interstellar aliens and whatever “inter-dimensional” means leave me cold and are not within my area of expertise.
    Personally, I’m skeptical of everything, but I’ve been interested in this phenomenon since reading about it in Boy’s Life magazine in the mid 60’s, when I was a Cub Scout. My late grandmother was interested, too, but Grandma was considered sweet and just a little goofy. Now I’m a little goofy among the family as well.
    I’m a physician. I’m not a scientist, but am trained in scientific disciplines. The most important thing is evidence. The many eye witness reports over the years are the least reliable kind of evidence unfortunately. Still, there are many consistent observations that make sense in the context of the similarity of Big Foot to the great apes, the family of animals that included the genera containing chimpanzees, gorillas, orangutans, and humans. While humans and apes are classified all within the Hominidae, I will refer to our related genera as apes and us as humans, for brevity and clarity.

    Purpose and reason in biology.
    I’m going to discuss differences and similarities between humans and apes. When making comparisons we are often tempted to surmise not only what the differences are but “why” the differences are. Teleology is the study of the reason things happen, their function. In religion this is a field of study, in science it is often viewed as logical fallacy. Evolution, for instance, does not have a “reason” or direction.
    Likewise, anthropomorphism is the making of assumptions that animals (or other things, for that reason, like plants or machines or interplanetary aliens) act or think like humans. Both of these are logical traps that can lead to drawing conclusions based on our own biases and/or without outside evidence.
    An example of the possibility of this occurring is the assigning of emotions to Big Foot based on facial expressions. Humans are very, very sensitive to facial expression and posture. It is not certain, however, that the facial expressions and posture of Big Foot have the same meaning as those of humans. It is an assumption.

    Differences between humans and apes.
    We humans are the outliers in terms of body hair, sweat glands, strength, intelligence and of course being primarily bipedal. The non-human members of the Hominidae all have 24 pairs of chromosomes, while humans have 23 pairs. We sweat all over out bodies, they don’t. We have body hair, some more than others, but it is not as long and mostly of a different texture than the other apes. We have a prolonged period of pre-adult life. We use more tools than the apes, and we use fire.
    Desmond Morris posited in his 1965 book “The Naked Ape” that out body shapes, size of penis in men and mammary glands in women represents sexual signaling, like the differences in coloring between males and females in birds and other animals. This is called sexual dimorphism. The apes have large mammary glands only when lactating. Chimpanzee females also have enlarged, red external genitalia in relation to their own fertility cycle, likely also sexual signaling.
    Orangutans and gorillas have a sagital crest, the crest on the top of the skull, to which the masseter muscle, the major jaw muscle, attaches. This seems to be associated with the chewing of rough plant material. Of course Big Foot has been noted at times to have a “pointed” head, which may indicate a sagital crest. Likewise, among apes the upper and lower jaws protrude from the plane of the face more than humans. This is likely a reflection of their diet and the heavy chewing required.
    Apes and humans have different genetic codes for muscle production. Scientists estimate that pound for pound ape muscles are about 1.35 times stronger than human muscle. A muscle twice as big as a human’s will be 2.7 times a powerful.
    Apes hip and pelvis structure are not as conducive to upright walking as humans. In addition, the placement of the foramen magnum on humans places the head on top of the spine and not ahead of it. This placement part of the information used to conclude in fossil skulls whether their owners were walking upright or not.

    Evidence that supports Big Foot being hominids.
    People report things being thrown at them in their contacts with Big Foot. Bears, cats, raccoons and squirrels can’t throw things because their shoulder girdles are not arranged like ours, but apes shoulders are.
    Speech is reported, often the “samurai speech”, I suspect named for the noises Jim Belushi made on Saturday Night Live in the 1970’s. The speech often includes sounds not found in English, like clicks and other noises. There are many human languages that include such sounds, clicks and glottal stops. (In my own experience working on the Navajo Indian Reservation, the Navajo language has phonemes, vocal sounds, that were strange to me. I am by no means a Navajo linguist, but like many physicians I could at one time say “Does this hurt”, “cough”, “push” or “don’t push” etc. I can say those things in Spanish, too…)
    Many reports come in about structures in the woods attributed to Big Foot. Unfortunately, I at least am unaware of anybody having seen these structures being built, and we anthropomorphize the meaning and purpose of the structures, without evidence.
    Other reported noises are screams and wood knocks. Again, we presume at times to assign meaning to these noises, but without evidence.
    Experts in genetic sequencing note that there is much more diversity between individuals in most animal populations than there is within all human populations. While I do not have a reference here, one expert notes that there is more diversity within one tribe of chimpanzees than within all humans. We see that humans have different hair color, texture, and details of facial structure. It makes sense that this sort of variation may exist within and between Bigfoot populations as well. Just as my 13 pound Miniature Schnauzer is a dog and my friend’s 165 pound English Mastiff is also a dog, people look different between families and between ethnic groups. This may apply to Big Foots as well.

    Here is a side question – what is the plural of Big Foot? Big Foots? Big Feet? Darn it, Jim, I’m a doctor, not a lexicographer!

    As with most things in this world, our culture so arrogantly bases so many beliefs, opinions, and views on non-existent facts, theoretical ideas or false teachings that seldom lead most people towards any actual truth, just disagreements and misunderstanding. I don’t know what these creatures are exactly, but from the details of the hundreds of encounters I’ve listened to here, they are far more than just another undiscovered Ape species.
    On the subject of “Gigantopithecus”. Most here talk of Gigantopithecus like it’s a proven animal, and assume science has plenty of “evidence” of this giant Ape (and 3 subspecies) existence, what it looked like, and most everything about it. But the truth is that the whole theory of Gigantopithecus is based on some teeth found in Asia, most notably from a Chinese medicine shop back in the 1930s, and a fragmented lower jaw that was encrusted in petrified rock. No skeletons, no skulls, just teeth. It seems to me just from listening to the encounters here, and adding up all of the evidence they have provided by their iwitness testimonies, along with the countless footprint casts, hair and fresh samples, and the amateur photos/videos (few as they may be), but nevertheless all add up to many times more evedence that Sasquatch exists, than has ever been shown to prove Gigantopithecus ever existed. That’s just my opinion.
    I have some evolving ideas of what I believe Sasquatch is, but they seem to change slightly with each new encounter I read about or listen to, and I’m afraid that my theory is veering further and further from “just an undiscovered species of Ape”. It seems obvious now that the whole gvmt cover-up of these creatures, as well as the public having great difficulty believing anything on the subject, that these creatures are much much more than we have any idea of, and that is to me the scariest part of the whole Sasquatch phenomenon…

    Okay, so I have been waiting to give my 2 cents to this discussion because I knew it would result in an essay. Let me first say that I have seen one crossing the road at 3 am in a forest while driving. That is what brought me to Sasquatch Chronicles. What I saw, was tall, turned at the waist to look at the headlights and had large eyes that had eye shine of a golden/amber color and were round, not almond shape in any way. The eyes were probably the size of a golf ball. So after the sighting, that’s when my research began. First question I looked up was if humans have eye shine. The answer is “no”. The explanation for eye shine is that animals have a membrane at the back of their eye that when hit by a light source bounces the light back. We are not supposed to have this membrane so our eyes do not shine. What I saw definitely had eye shine. It also turned at the waist to look at the headlights. Think about yourself, if you were to get startled by something and went to look quickly at something coming your direction, how would you look at that something? Would you turn at the waist or would you whip your head around? I’d say most, if not all humans, would turn their head. What I saw cross the road on two legs did not turn it’s head, it turned it’s entire upper body.
    Okay, so I got done writing this whole big long essay and found out it won’t post all at once. So I’ll break it up.

  51. Samuel N

    After listening and reading countless and varied encounters the matter of Sasquatch gets really confusing. However, some synchronicity was at play since my encounter about 1-1/2 years ago. First, before I give my opinion on the matter and the conclusions I’ve reached, let me say that I have experience with what is called sleep paralysis and entities visiting as well as missing time and instances of time slips. I have seen several beings and have most likely experienced abduction but to my knowledge have never been taken on any type of craft. Instead, it has been my experience that when there is interaction with any entity, there seems to be a sort of fluid reality that opens up in my bedroom. I have awoken from a sound sleep to what look like tangles of black hoses on the ceiling of my bedroom with the ceiling appearing translucent and as the solidity to the ceiling returns, the hoses disappear. The same thing has happened with the walls. I have awoken to the walls appearing translucent as well. What I’ve seen is almost like my room becomes fluid and as the fluidity leaves and solidity returns to the walls, it looks like a curtain of beads is slowly lifting from the ground upwards toward the ceiling. The curtain almost looks like, if you’ve ever seen those Greek lamps from the 70’s that have a statue in the middle that have fishing line coiled around them and oil flows around the fishing line. I don’t know what the formal name of those lamps is but anyone from the 70’s has probably seen one. That is what the walls look like. They look like curtains of that oil slowly lifting upward and as they lift, the walls become solid again. This leads me to believe that alien abduction doesn’t need to take you to a craft, I think the abductors open up something in a person’s own home and no one is the wiser. I have seen several entities but only one time ever seen anything that looks like a gray alien. I have been aware of this phenomena happening to me throughout my life and it angers me. The phenomena most often happens around 3 am, in particular 3:11 and 3:22. I find that my subconscious seems to be aware of when the phenomena is going to happen so I often find I won’t be sleeping well before an episode. It angers me that beings come into my personal space and render me unable to move and then do whatever it is they do so if I feel the familiar signs of the phenomena about to happen, I often am angry and try my best to fight it. Often before it happens, when I lie down to sleep, I will suddenly feel my bed vibrate or will hear those tinnitus type tones before I succumb to the sleep paralysis. I found that my anger at this invasion sometimes allows me to fight the paralysis. One night this is the state I was in, I felt something was going to happen and I felt the bed vibrate. Next thing I know, I am becoming paralyzed. My head was turned slightly toward my bedroom door and I could see 2 beings that looked about 4 feet tall and like typical gray aliens but wearing black spandex, wet suit looking apparel with some kind of triangle or logo on the left side. There was an additional being at the foot of my spouses bed and all 3 of them were staring in my direction. At the same time I saw this, I became aware of 3 entities around my bed trying to gain control of me. I could not see these entities, I just felt one on each side of me holding each arm and one at my feet attempting to restrain my feet. I tried very hard to call out to my spouse but was unable to speak. I fought the paralysis very hard and found that the angrier I became the more control I had of my physical body. I was able to get one arm free and I was only able to move that arm. I began flaying that arm around and trying to beat it on the bed to make noise so my spouse would hear it. When I was fighting so much I saw a black circle materialize in mid air at the foot of my spouses bed. Then a being popped it’s head through that black hole and averted it gaze to me where I was still flaying and trying to get free from the 3 entities trying to restrain me. That being that popped it’s head through looked almost exactly like E.T. from from the movie. It’s skin was a brown color and it’s eyes were a piercing blue. It looked over toward me and I got the feeling that the other 6 entities were taking orders from it. So the brown entity looked at the inability of the gray type beings to restrain me fully and then looked at me. It then popped it’s head back into the black circle and the black circle disappeared and so did all the other entities and I was able to move. I believe the black circle to have been a portal or some kind of doorway. I got the impression that the in charge brown one just said to leave me alone until later after I’d fallen asleep and I sensed that the 6 grays were confused by my ability to fight back and would just return when I was asleep and unable to give them any more trouble. I believe they did come back later. Often after these type of encounters, I find bruises or marks on my body that weren’t there when I went to bed. A few days later, I awoke to find a tall being in a black monk type robe that was blacker than the darkness standing just inside the bedroom doorway staring at my spouse. It took me a second to realize this and I tried to call out to it to leave my spouse alone. It turned and looked surprised that I had seen it. I was not able to physically speak but I was shouting in my head for it to leave my spouse alone. All at once, it’s like it heard me and instantly it was at the side of my bed. It did not walk, it was like it transported itself to the side of my bed the instant it realized I saw it. I believe these beings are coming through some kind of opening that could best be described as some sort of portal or doorway that we have no knowledge of. I think this is the same thing Sasquatch does.
    I have also had several instances where I have felt strange and a little confused only to find several of the clocks displaying different times. Twice when I became aware of this, I watched the digital clock advance itself through the numbers to match the rest of the clocks in the house. This happened on 2 different clocks at 2 different times. Due to my experience, I have come to believe our reality is fluid but we as humans are generally not aware of this.

  52. Samuel N

    Something I have noticed about many of the Sasquatch encounters I have listened to is that many people become aware of suddenly the absence of sound from the entire environment. The natural assumption by us humans is to think that this is because there is a predator in the woods and everything is going into quiet mode. However, many people say that it is not just the animal life that goes quiet but everything, even the wind. The more I think about this, this makes sense if these people are encountering a doorway or portal. Maybe the absence of sound is because there person is stepping into the threshold of another place. Perhaps this explains the missing 411 phenomena. People are accidentally stepping out of our world into another and have no idea that it is happening, let alone how to get back. So generally, a doorway works both ways, if we can step out of this reality maybe something can step into our reality. I think this is exactly what Sasquatch does. I don’t think Sasquatch lives here in our existence full-time but instead comes here and hunts, eats, and stays awhile. I’ve been noting too when the information is available from encounters that there seem to be many similar months of the year when encounters take place. Two of the most prominent months, I’ve noticed are September and November.
    I believe these portal/doorways only open on certain days at certain times. If Sasquatch are aware of this, then that’s why we can’t find one. They may know when and where these doorways open up and how to utilize them. So this doesn’t necessarily mean Sasquatch is supernatural. It could still be a flesh and blood creature that can step through these doorways that we are unaware of.

  53. Samuel N

    One of the reasons I believe this to be the case is a result of synchronicity again. I happened to be listening to some stories that were read from Reddit on Youtube. In one story that is supposed to be a true account of what happened to a news reporter who was sent from the city where I live to the area where I saw Sasquatch to investigate a case of a missing girl who reappeared and had aged. I have no way of knowing if the story was true or not but the details in it rang true for me.
    The short version of this reporters story is he is sent to Black River Falls, WI to investigate this high school girls disappearance and re-appearance. He checks into a hotel and he basically loses an entire day and has no idea what happened. He then gets some kind of government spook in his room who tells him that he is investigating this phenomena all over the world and does not fully understand it but has a theory. The government guy believes that only certain people can interact with the phenomena and he needs the reporter to help him because, the government guy believes that the reporter has the ability to interact with the phenomena. The government guy says that they have never been able to get any more information about this phenomena because usually the government gets there too late. The person is gone and is not coming back. The government guy goes onto say there are many of these doorways around earth and people often step through to never be heard from again. He wants the reporter to step through and come back so he can know what is on the other side of the doorway. So let me take an aside here, the government guy says that they have identified some of the common traits of those who can interact with these doorways. Interestingly enough, some of the characteristics are similar to what the Missing 411 series found are in common with the missing people. The conspiracy theorist in me says that this is what the push is for everyone to check their ancestry through DNA. I think the government has recognized a signature in some people’s DNA that they know allows this person to be able to use these doorways. What better way to identify these people than to tell them how interesting it would be for them to know their ancestry and submit their DNA to do so. So meanwhile everyone is secretly submitting their DNA for the government to track under the guise of seeking ancestry and paying for it so our government doesn’t have to.
    So back to the story of this reporter…the reporter states that the female that went missing returned and was found sometime after she went missing but had aged into an old woman. Another aside, upon researching Sasquatch in this same forest where this girl went missing, I came across a missing person case from, I think it was 2012 where a Native American guy went missing in that forest and was never found. So when the reporter agrees to go through one of these doorways, he encounters emptiness and finds himself wandering for days on blacktop with nothing in sight. He finally comes across this mountain of clothing piled very high and the clothing seems to be in layers and layered by eras of time. He finally comes to some cliff and is able to look down and he sees “Ape” people below and they are all gathered around and beating on what appears to be a human. So the reporter feels he needs to help that human. He does something to distract the ape people and runs down to the human and rolls the human over expecting to see the female that had gone missing and turned back up on earth old. He turns the body over and it is that of a Native American man who is beyond help. Could this have been the Native American that went missing in 2012 in the forest? Don’t know but it’s a heck of a coincidence. So could those ape people the reporter saw actually be Sasquatch? If humans can cross over into their world, could they also be crossing into ours? If so, this explains completely why we do not find 10 ft Sasquatch in the woods. Maybe they are not living here all of the time. Maybe whatever the rules of their existence only allow for them to come here at certain times and only for a certain amount of time. Maybe some break those rules and stay indefinitely here. Humans break rules all of the time, maybe Sasquatch is no different.

    So, this checks a lot of boxes off for me. Sasquatch could still be a flesh and blood creature but just with that DNA that allows them to cross through the doorway/portals. Maybe the triangular structures in the woods mark the doorways, so if they are fleeing from humans they can pass back into their world which to us would seem that they just disappeared into thin air. This would also explain the outright denial that Sasquatch exist. If they had to tell us that “yes” Sasquatch exist but they don’t live here full-time and can pass into another place via doorways and portals that exist all over our planet. Imagine the can of worms that might open up.

What do you think Sasquatch is?

A listener writes “Dear Wes, I have been listening to your program for a while, and couldn’t help notice that you have asked everyone you interview “What do you think Sasquatch is?”

This is a question I also have been asking. I have never had an encounter, and so I simply have to trust the reports that you, and so many thousands of others like you, have provided. And I will say that before hearing your program, I was very skeptical. But the quality of the reports, the consistency in the details, and the compelling nature of the eye witnesses, have won me over into the “This might be true” camp.

As an aside, I always had a strong interest in anthropology, paleontology and primatology, and studied quite a bit of physical anthropology in university. So when this topic came to my attention, I began to think about it and do some research. I decided to document my thoughts and share them with you, for what they are worth.

The work of molecular biologists utilizing DNA has opened the understanding of early human evolution, and pushed the timeframe back from 3 million to 7 million years. Genetic revelations suggest the probable divergence of the human lineage from a common ape ancestor was around 6 to 8 million years ago. As for hominid species, we now know that the actual record goes back to almost 7 million years ago.

Australopithecus afarensis (Lucy) lived in Africa 3.2 million years ago, walked upright, and was probably a direct human ancestor.

But we now know of other, older species.

Australopithecus anamensis… lived about four million years ago and appeared to be an afarensis precursor. Another discovery by Dr. Leakey challenged the prevailing view that the family tree had a more or less single trunk rising from ape roots to a pinnacle occupied by Homo sapiens. Yet here was evidence that the new species Kenyanthropus platyops co-existed with Lucy’s afarensis kin.

What is important now is that we know our lineage was not a straight line. “The family tree now looks more like a bush with many branches.” We now know that millions of years ago, there were many different species living simultaneously all over Africa. Some of them may have migrated out much earlier than we ever suspected. Ethiopian specimens now demonstrate human-like ancestors such as the 4.4 million years old Ardipithecus ramidus. And even older species from 5.2 million to 5.8 million years ago was classified Ardipithecus kadabba. Both are more primitive than Lucy.

(Note: an interesting study should be conducted to evaluate the arm length ratio of these earliest hominids and compare them to the reported arm length of Sasquatch. This may give us an indicator of to which ancient form Sasquatch may be most closely related.)

Did any of these creatures migrate out of Africa? We have evidence of the existence of other hominids that were alive very recently: Homo floresiensis. “The Australian and Indonesian discoverers concluded that one partial skeleton and other bones belonged to a now-extinct separate human species, Homo floresiensis, which lived as recently as 18,000 years ago.”

There is argument among scientists about whether or not Homo Floresiensis is actually a different species, with some saying it is simply a miniature human. But it is important to remember that even first the Neanderthal skull, discovered in 1856, was misidentified as a human.

The Family Tree at Human Origins captures some of the diversity. Many have speculated that Sasquatch might be a divergent species off the Hominid branch, such as Homo Erectus. But perhaps instead they are from the Australopithecine or Paranthropus branch.

What are the arguments against this concept?

First, that these species are all extinct. But since we know other homo sapiens species such as Neanderthalis survived until a few tens of thousands of years ago, and we have circumstantial evidence in Homo floresiensis that another species might have survived until 18,000 years ago, why is it impossible that a variant of the Australopithecines or Paranthropus could have survived? (Indeed, reports out of Malaysia suggest there is still a small creature similar to Homo floresiensis alive in the forests).

Second objection: These species do not evolve in the New World, and we have no evidence they migrated there. True. To our knowledge, they didn’t. But that doesn’t mean it is impossible. Other primates managed to migrate from the Old World to the New World—including Humans.

We know that the Bering land bridge was open between 20,000 and 12,000 years ago, which is one of the postulated paths for human habitation of North America. But we also have indications that the land bridge opened around 70,000 years ago. It is believed that this bridge opened and closed multiple times during the Pleistocene Epoch, starting 2.5 million years ago. “For example, there is evidence that saber tooth cats, wooly mammoths, various ungulates, and plants were on both continents around the last ice age and there would have been little way for them to appear on both without the presence of a land bridge.”

When considering this puzzle, I like to look at the evolution of the modern Horse. Having evolved in North America, the relative of the modern horse somehow managed to migrate to Asia during the Pleistocene Epoch, and became extinct in North America around 12,000 years ago. Since no horses make boats, there is only one way to Asia: the land bridge. And surely the direction of travel went both ways.

The third argument against Sasquatch is the reported size. The only other species to reach the reported size of Sasquatch is Gigantopithecus. This species is also believed to have existed until about 15,000 to 20,000 years ago, and is believed to have gone extinct. Some speculate that Sasquatch could be a relative of this extinct animal, and that would explain the size. However, based on morphology, Gigantopithecus was more similar to orangutans, and probably an herbivore that ate plants such as bamboo, like modern panda bears. It is therefore unlikely that they could have made the journey across Beringia, unless their diet changed considerably. And Sasquatches reportedly eat far more meat than Gigantopithecus would have. So unless Gigantopithecus evolved into an omnivorous hunter—which is technically possible—it leaves us considering that it must instead be related to some other Hominid species, or the Paranthropus species.

However, these hominid and paranthropus species were nowhere near the size of Sasquatches, which are often reported to be between 7 feet and 9 feet tall and weigh between 500 and 1000 pounds. So what explains the radical increase in size? While we know that millions of years ago some mammal species did evolve into megafauna, that process occurred before the evolution of humans. It is still theoretically possible that a hominid species, having migrated into the realm of other megafauna, evolved into a much larger species. Modern humans, for example, are considerably larger than their ancient relatives. The average human today is easily one and a half to two feet taller than the australopithecines and early hominids. So we do see the pattern, although to a lesser extent, occurring in our own species. The average NBA player is now 6’7”, and quite a few modern humans do grow to greater than 7 feet. The tallest human recorded was 8 feet 11 inches—well within Bigfoot size. However, most humans that size are suffering from debilitating disease, so while it can happen, it is both very unusual, and very unhealthy, in our species.

There is a fact about Sasquatch that I believe has been gravely overlooked: Native American tradition, which reports their existence for thousands of years. Why is this so important? Why should we not simply swat it away as superstition?

Because Native American folklore about large, hairy “people”, which has existed for thousands of years, existed prior to the arrival of Europeans, and Native Americans had absolutely no way of knowing about the existence of apes. Nor did Native Americans and European immigrants arriving centuries ago know anything about extinct human relatives. Native Americans, therefore, were regularly describing large, hairy primates co-existing with them, long before they could have known that similar animals do exist in Africa and Asia. Their rock art tended to describe the very real animals in the world around them, such as mammoths, bears, bison, et cetera. And they included images of Sasquatch in those images.

According to the traditions that some Native Americans have shared, their elders state that these creatures were “already here” when their ancestors arrived. And this makes perfect sense, if the Sasquatch are an ancient species of bipedal ape that had migrated to the Americas millennia ago. And there is no way that these stories are due to some kind of cultural contamination, because they pre-existed the arrival of Europeans, and even the earliest arriving Europeans were ignorant of the existence of apes such as gorillas, much less ancient hominids.

The simple question should be asked: given that we know that multiple species of hominid, with intelligence similar to that of humans, co-existed with human ancestors millions of years ago, and given that we know that our ancestors survived, evolved, and migrated all around the world, including via the land bridge to the New World, then is it not possible that another hominid, other than homo sapiens, also made the journey?

We know that Homo sapiens have evolved into a larger creature. While our ancestors were barely four feet tall, we now average above five feet tall, with large populations exceeded six feet, and a considerable number reaching over seven feet tall. Humans did not evolve into much larger animals because there was no need to; Homo sapiens developed advanced tool usage, communication and coordination strategies to give them a survival advantage. Thus, larger size was not necessary.

What about Sasquatch?

Little evidence has yet been demonstrated that indicates that Sasquatch uses tools, at least not stone tools. Earliest hominid tool records date from between 2 and 3 million years ago. Could this be an indication that its ancestors evolved from before that 3 million year time period and from different ancestors than ours?

· Note BFRO report about Bigfoot tool usage: “We heard a thumping sound and moved closer to see what was making the sound. Just behind a neighbor’s house we saw a big foot digging in the ground with a stick of fire wood, at times taking one stick of fire wood and pounding a second stick into the ground. Then he would turn the dirt over, using the stick like a spade. He may have been looking for food, but we never knew for sure.”

· Very commonly it is reported that Bigfoot use stones to crush shells, or as thrown weapons to warn away humans. They may use them to bang against trees, and there are incidental reports of Bigfoot making “tree knocks” by banging sticks against trees.

· However, to my knowledge, there is no report of shaping tools, especially rocks.

· David A Claerr wrote a book called “Sasquatch Tool Use” in which he claims he found evidence of tool use. He claims he found evidence of stone tool manufacturing, as well as deer antlers. But this is completely unsubstantiated. No one “saw” a Bigfoot using these, and so they could have been produced by a human practicing bush craft in the wild.

Most of this reported tool use is no more advanced than that of chimpanzees. Claerr’s report must be considered highly suspect, because no creature was seen in association with the tools. So we need to throw that out as evidence, unfortunately.

Meanwhile, despite there being some reports of some very crude tool usage by Sasquatch, there are no accounts of their developing tools advanced enough to become “force magnifiers”. By this I mean, spears, hatchets, atlatl, bows and arrows, etc. The types of tools reported, however, make sense for an animal which is somewhere between chimpanzees and humans in intelligence. We know chimpanzees do use rocks and sticks in manners similar to what has been reportedly observed in Sasquatch. They also do throw rocks and sticks for both intimidation and defensive purposes, as do Sasquatch. And there are reports that they sometimes bang sticks to create tree-knocks, as is reported with Sasquatch. However, the types of communication reportedly utilized by Sasquatch appears to be more sophisticated than that of chimpanzees. What’s more, we have reports that Sasquatch may have an elementary language system.

Therefore, one may theorize that Sasquatch, which apparently has very limited language skills and tool technology, would have benefitted from evolving into much larger and more powerful creatures in order to compete and survive when surrounded by the megafauna of the Pleistocene epoch. Their ability to coordinate and communicate, combined with their massive power and size, would be the force magnifier needed to survive the Pleistocene and thrive.

So why do we still not have undeniable proof of their existence? How do we respond to the demand for evidence and the reasonable question: Why do we not have any bodies?

What does this possibly indicate? Do they just decompose and no one has found them? Do they cannibalize them? Or do they bury them? Some people speculate they either cannibalize their dead, or bury them. There are many accounts of Bigfoot burial, or at Bigfoots retrieving their dead. Other accounts say that they witnessed Bigfoots attack, kill and devour another Bigfoot that had been mortally wounded by a human with a rifle.

These case studies suggest yet another consistent data point, that Sasquatch have an intelligence that is superior to that of great apes such as chimpanzees, orangutan, or gorillas, and may understand death, mourn their dead, and have primitive ceremonial handling of their deceased.

In other cases (Lovelock Cave), some people believe the “Si te cah” dead left human-like bones that have been misidentified as human. The Paiute story about Lovelock cave in which the Indians battled red-haired giants, is legendary. However, in typical fashion, many scientists claim this is pure Native American mythology and dismiss it. As for the remains, they argue that these are just misidentified bear remains and not “giants” or Bigfoots.

Keep in mind, however, the historic fact that the original Neanderthal remains were misidentified as human remains. Similarly, scientists are skeptical about the remains of Homo floresiensis, which may very well be proof of the recent existence of another hominid but will not be accepted by scientists. Why is it not possible therefore that the human-like remains at the site were also not Homo sapiens, and have been misidentified?

We are often challenged with another riddle: why are they so elusive? Why can they not be found and studied like gorillas?

Remember, if these are hominids, with an intelligence very close to that of Homo sapiens, and they have basic language skills, and have basic tool culture, as well as a potential cultural understanding of the concept of death, this is all evidence of fairly advanced thinking.

Native American stories often describe wars with these creatures, such as the aforementioned battle at Lovelock cave, among many others. Therefore, it is feasible that these creatures, who pre-existed humans in North America, have tens of thousands of years of experience with our species, and are very aware of how dangerous we are. Surely they would teach their young to avoid us at all cost. After all, we know that animals like wolves, bears, and cougars—all apex predators in our continent—similarly know they should avoid our species. If they know we are dangerous and should be avoided, why would we think Sasquatch would not be similarly aware? To the contrary, it would be rather silly to think they would be naïve regarding how dangerous we humans are.

In conclusion, in order to postulate what type of creature Sasquatch is, review the “facts”, as collected, about the species. It is a creature with primitive features that confuse the viewers because it looks both ape-like, and human. It can travel on all fours, or in a bipedal manner. It is of massive size, unlike almost any other known ape, other than Gigantopithecus, and to a lesser degree, Homo Sapiens. Its morphology and behavior as well as diet do not match Gigantopithecus. It reportedly has some crude language skills, some degree of understanding of death and valuing the bodies of dead family members, and primitive tool making skills. And Native American legends state that they were already here prior to the arrival of their ancestors.

Therefore, we can begin to make some inferences. Sasquatch bipedalism and human-like features clearly suggest they shared a common ancestor with humans. This also rules out any relationship with Gigantopithecus. Their crude tool making skills suggest that our common ancestor was quite ancient, but certainly from around the period of the oldest Hominid, Australopithecine and Paranthropus branches, because tool usage showed up around 3 million years ago (the very primitive nature of their tools suggests a probable older common ancestor). Their large size suggests that their separation is old enough that they had time to evolve into megafauna. Their existence, reported to range from Siberia through Asia and into North America, suggests they evolved in Asia first and migrated into North America.

Until we have a physical specimen, we will never know for sure what they are. But evidence points to a branch off the human tree that is around 3 to 5 million years old. And that is certainly enough time to allow them to evolve into a very large apex predator.”

      No DNA lasts for 6 to 8 million years. Fossils have no DNA. Rock can not be aged through Radio carbon or active dating. Just who the hell was documenting all this data that is spouted, about goings on 6 to 8 millions years ago. You might as well just say it happened a long time ago in a galaxy far far away. What a bunch of religious atheist propaganda. LOL

        …and Gigantopithecus- some China man found a big tooth in a cave and now the “know- it- alls” of socalled Science believe it was a giant ape that lived 4,732.3201 million years ago…LMAO

          I believe that the sediment or rock in which these ancient fossilised remains are, or found in are used to date these remains though these methods are starting to be questioned, I hope that answered your query. P3ac33!

      Janetta, Evolution is one of the biggest lies in history, next to Satan not being real. Evolution, It is a religion without proof, at least we have a history book that is thousands of years old with the Book of Daniel’s proof of prophecy- being proven true and accurate to the day- by the head of Scotland Yard, way back when.. all geographic evidence proves there was a Great Flood and a lot of us still know why….to destroy the corruption of all flesh by the “fallen ones.”
