A listener writes “In 2003, a friend, my 12 yr old son and I seen a Sasquatch at Fish lake, Beaver Swamp area. It was during the month of July, during Graffiti weekend. The whole point of this trip was to avoid the noise and people of the graffiti cruse. I’m a disabled vet and don’t much care for crowds of people anyway. This Fish lake is east of Canyonville, OR.
We camped at the trailhead and decided to pack for a day trip the following day. We were both armed, my friend had a pistol and I packed a rifle amongst other equipment. Beaver swamp trail is ridiculously steep, going in 30 min, coming out easily an hour and a half all up hill. As we descended the trail it was a warm sunny day, we got to the bottom of the trail and preceded along the lakes edge we were met by a family on their way out. We made some small talk about the weather and fishing success. I noticed they had two big Rottweiler dogs both on a leash. They had a few kids also and between the dogs and the kids it was a very noisy exit. I believe the families exit covered our entrance.
After we talked with the family we proceeded along the same trail and came to our spot at the north end of the lake and sat down in some tall grass in a bare spot to start fishing. After some time, the fishing was spotty, we had to chase away some ducks being bothersome. Everything seemed to get real quiet no nothing.
My son was standing in the water in the tall grass and he related that someone had walked out of forest as was standing in the tree line wearing fur. My friend and I both stopped what we were doing to take a look as it was the month of July, very hot out, what would someone be doing in a very remote are dressed in a gorilla suit.
As we layer our eyes on this individual we got a strange feeling, we all froze in place and were very confused. The Sasquatch stood there looking around as if trying to spot the previous people and those two dogs. Once the it figured the coast was clear it proceeded to the waters edge. It walked up right with big strides Ann’s you could clearly see daylight between its legs as it moved. It probably was twenty five feet from the waters edge and it seemed like the number of strides was greatly reduced to get to it destination. We were about 50 to 75 feet away and still concealed in the tall grass.
I had a scope on my rifle and my son urged me lay my sights on the figure to get a better look, I refused to do that, my military experience had taught me not to point a weapon at someone unless your ready to use it. I told I would not scope out what it was, still in disbelief and confused. The figure was at the waters edge, you could see it turn it conical head, looking around on guard. It then dropped to its knees and put its arms in a posture like doing a push up, leaning down to the water and drinking.
It did this about 4 times, it then stood back up again it looked around and walked back into the forest and disappeared with in seconds. After that we sat and tried to figure out what we had just seen, after about 30 minutes we decided to shoot up a few snags and logs to make a lot of noise. We thought maybe if they knew we were in there they would stay away and we could make our way out quickly.”

Interesting. Did you see it on your way out?

I know people are definitely seeing something they can’t explain on occasion, and sometimes these things are truly unexplainable. I also realize not every sighting being reported is truth and there have been sightings that were either mistaken identity or the result of a hoax. But I hadn’t thought of this possibility until now…
Whatever these creatures, beings or entities are… What if these things are an intelligence that is showing themselves in ways we’ve simply just described THEM? Described them for a very long time, passed down though stories of different indigenous peoples, old books, drawings, then movies or other media, or even mimicking hoaxes like a kid in a gorilla costume running across the road, pulled off by pranksters right up until the modern day?
Sometimes we think about Sasquatch and we ask how something could be so elusive but then seem so careless as to cross the road in plain sight, right?
What if this “entity” is just something that mimics, and it doesn’t differentiate legend from “gorilla suit kid” because at some point, somewhere, someone believed that hoax, so the entity adopted that scenario as part of the mimic to use into its bag of tricks… you would believe it’s real because it became culturally real ag that point for a Sasquatch to act that way! I hope that makes sense.
Aliens, Ufos, Bigfoot, Yeti, Werewolf, all of it… what if unexplainable things are really just a shape shifting entity that is mimicking culture based creatures from mythology, legends or even science fiction that people actually once believed, came to believe and still currently believe?
Now, take it a step further, maybe or maybe not, idk, I’ve been thinking off the cuff here… What if the “entity” is representing itself in physical looking form but can do so only through ideas that were originally spawned from sin, lies, greed or desire, or even entertainment to cause fear, but nonetheless started with our own doings?
I sincerely hope this isn’t the case because successive generations are becoming more desensitized I believe, which means the shock value through our culture for someone to be scared by a story or media is always being elevated and tech can elevate things very rapidly and grotesque in ways you’d never want to experience in real life.
Just my thought or idea I had to get out right away because it could kind of make sense that the Universe is allowing us to pick our own poison if that’s the route we choose to go. I would advise using the best intentions in what we do and how we conduct ourselves until we figure all this out.
Take it for what it’s worth. 🌞🙏🏼 peace
