I have spent many years battling with my suspicions on bigfoot to the point that the ridicule and objections have become normal to me, though I no longer make a habbit of sticking my neck out there to solve the riddle. I recently ended all my affiliations to most bigfoot groups after having some really deep happening occur and I fell for the trap I think, totally wiping out all of my work, giving up the hunt and refusing to look back. Skeptic gone believer gone into hiding, "Hush", as some would say. I think the BF were happy for some reason up until yesterday, as they avoided me after that long run of messing with my mind.
I used to be very active in Bigfoot research until I had all of my bigfoot stuff removed from several forums because of some farfetched, fantastic ideas that to me, sound most reasonable. In my opinion, Bigfoot is not of this earth, That singles me out. I still think I am onto what BF is, but will remain silent at this time on my theories. Simply because I refuse to believe that bigfoot is an ape-like creature, my research went off the radar because I am a small percentage of believers that see BF the way I do, or as often as I have, and this draws the wrong kind of attention to a delicate subject. I removed several of my posts because I felt I may be closer to solving the truth than 99% of the bigfoot researchers out there and I did not want my ideas smeared so badly that I was not credible. I am truthful to this day , never once fabricating any stories. I have gone well over three years without any harrasment from BF and a couple of years now without the constant scrutiny of the skeptics and smart-asses that, themselves, have no rational explanation to BF and all of the sightings by all of the people that believe in him/her or in his/her existence. They can't even explain thier own disbelief most of the time. Not to harang anyone though...
Yesterday that all changed. I had what I believe was a sighting and walked into what I believe is a hotspot of BF activity. He has been here at this location the last few days and I am pretty sure of it. Three stories will give you my reasons.
First, I had traveled to a locatiion 10 miles NE of Dayton to retrieve my sons vehicle yesterday, from this private landfill area where he has permission to salvage all the many tons of recyclable metals. Near the site , which is a mile from the highway, is an old cabin. He wanted me to see this site and walked me to the cabin from this bend where we parked on the road. This spot in dry desert like area had green trees and looked like a spring area. The ravine he wanted to show me had an old truck like my Old Fart and that was the reason for stopping , just about 1/8 of a mile from his work locationin the middle of nowhere. On the way over from our vehicles, which was about 50 yards off the road, I saw a solid black creature standing next to the cabin. When I looked directly at it, it lifted its arms in a swinging motion as it ducked down.
"WTF was that" Isaid and my son (truthfully, I said that exactly) thought I was speaking of the large eagle that hung out in the area.
"No", I saw a Bigfoot " I said.
Well, the three of us ,my son Dan , Josh, and I continued to that exact spot and nothing was there. I did see the grass was layed over all over the place. I had a creepy uneasy feeling, but continued to the ravine that he (my son Dan) wanted me to see. As soon as we got there, I said out loud that I would like to have that vehicle, and to check into it for me.
As we turned to leave, I heard a large growl that sounded like a car stopping in gravel. It came from my right. I looked right and the trees were thick right there and sorta had a seriouis feeling of danger. Dan was behind me 5 feet and thought it came from an area 45 degrees to out right. Josh was behind him and thought it was dead ahead, and we all agreed it sounded like a car stopping in gravel. I said it probably was a cougar, though I knew what I really thought it was. We left, and nothing happened after that.
The second reason I believe this was a sasquatch was because My sons girl told me she walked down there from where my boy was working the other day and had the same feeling. She heard noises and her dog went to sniff it out, then bolted past her with his tail between her legs. She felt vey scared and ran as well. I know for fact that dog would defend her against any animal. This was not like her dog to do what he did.
Third: My son had several hundreds of dollars of nonferrous metals right on the road and nothing was stolen but his sledge hammers and crescent wrenches. He said that was very odd, even if it was a hunter. Who would turn down $200 in copper for a sledge hammer and leave the toolbocx behind? It was no bear I am certain.
Anyways, my intuaition tell me this is genuine BF and it is living near there. I have another idea what it is, but will leave you all to value life as you know it. No need to scare the living Ba-lJesus out of you.
Linda, (from the Bigfoot group) if you are still here, I would love to discuss this with you and I have some ideas as to what these are, how they get here, and what they are up too. I can not publish my thought on this though, as it may be a matter of National Security.
Anyone else interested in seroius discussion, please comment or PM me and I will arange to talk about this in person,on the phone, or anywhere off the internet.
God Bless you all and don't lose faith in God if you know whats good for you, at least...in my opinion. =)
