BigFoot warning signs??
« on: December 22, 2004, 12:47:50 AM »
Bulletmaker/O'l man mountain/guys who have had close encounters too.

What do you think the bad warning signs are before a BigFoot attacks??

Why does it come and scream at me?  Is it because it doesn't want me there or does it want me to leave the area?  Is it warning me?  Is the scream the height of the warning signs before its going to attack next.  Or is it just letting me know its his territory??

It has run hikers out of the forest near me in broad daylite yet it only comes close to me in the dark yet it follows me into/out of the forest when i'm hunting but it stays out of sight yet i hear it breaking branches as it walks and like i said it stops walking when i stop.  I'm just wondering how safe am i?  I'm trying to read it a little better on what its going to do next and what should i expect.                                    BigBill

Good question BigBill, but it`s one that I can`t answer as of yet. All of the encounters that I and my hunting buddies have had, or of the roaring, tree shaking, type. As of yet, they haven`t charged out right, but they have turned over one of my 1200 lb`s tower stands. Thank God nobody was in the stand, when it was turned over. And the stand was about 500 yards away, so nobody saw it, we just heard it slammed to the ground.
  They (Bigfoot) is more aggressive it appears on full moon phases, thats what we have concluded .

:-D  :-D  :-D  :-D  :D
Now that is a thought Greybeard, come to think of it, on them full moon night hunts that I was talking about earlier, one of the things we do is have a nice wood fire and cook steaks with baked potatoes, after we eat, we then start the hunt, however they start making commotions before we have finished eating. We even had one come up on us at a creek bank 40ft in the dark to see what we were doing. We would have shared our meal, but we didn`t have enough steaks. :-D  :-D  :-D .

With my few encounters its been at suppertime but the wood fire is going first so thats a clue to guess who's comming for Din, Din??  But i think bigfoot is a real sucker for a woodfire mixed with the smell of bacon too thats when i get a visit for sure.

GrayBeard your right i ain't given up any of my "dogs n beans" then i would have another resident staying for supper/lunch/breakfast too!!

Its just the screaming that i can't understand nor get out of my mind.

Trust me we'll get a pic either before or after for sure.     BigBill

There's been no follow up or info on the one they killed in Montana(i think it was)???

What really makes me think is the faces of death video when Bob is filming the grizzly bear outside the car while his wife is feeding  it from inside the car.  Then she shakes the empty bag and the baer attacks Bob then we see the bears mouth full of human entrails.  Well between her shakin the empty bag and the attack I want to say; "Guess what Bob no more bread and your lunch too!!!"  Oh poor Bob I guess she had to get a new husband??  Robert Blake could of done the samething too right??  I'm kind of sick of hearing it on the news now.  We seem to get fed so much info we could care less about we could write a book on it too?? :-D

Hi BigBill,

That's a very good question that I'd bet few (if any) people alive today have the answer to.

Bigfoot screaming or roaring at you probably accomplishes the two things it wants: Intimidates or frightens you, and it makes you pack up and leave "his neck of the woods" in an awful big hurry.

While in some cases the Bigfoot's screams or roars may be the forwarning of an attack, it does appear that it is more of a bluff tactic used to chase unwanted intruders out of its wilderness domain.

If Bigfoot is as stealthy and fast as you, myself and BulletMaker believe it to be, I doubt you'd have the chance to react to an attack. It would simply be a matter of a person out for walk in the forest enjoying nature on a beautiful day, and the next thing you know you'd be talkin' to old Saint Peter at the pearly gates askin' him what that big black blur that hit you and knocked you to kingdom come was.

When it comes right down to it, I guess the best thing a man can do while he's out in the wilds is to try and stay as sharp as a razor at all times and hope that Bigfoot makes the mistake first.

Michbob,

You seem to be confusing conjecture with good planning and the laying of an effective strategy.
Since experience is nothing more than learning from an accumulations of one's errors, I believe we can all help each other through the sharing of information hopefully leading to less mistakes being made and precious time not being lost.
With a little luck, perhaps the PICTURES of Bigfoot will happen when "preparation and opportunity meet."

I believe I can safely say that we are always looking for helpful information if you'd care to share an idea or experience.

Good Huntin'

You guys know what would be really cool?  A 'BIGFOOT CROSSING' sign. like the DEER CROSSING signs on the highways.  DOT orange with a Bigfoot silhouette :grin:

I'll bet you could even sell some to tourists if you would put up a roadside stand. :)   Don't forget the 'porcupine eggs'. :-D

Why do you naysayers come here?

1. To see how long I'll let it go before I can you?

2. To see your name on the screen?

3. Cuz you think violating the rules I've laid out for this particular forum is Kool and makes you more important?

4. You fill in the blank.


If ya really got nothing to add and only wish to detract ya really need to be doing it on some other forum. Remember the rule here is that this forum is for those who either have had experiences or believe that others have. It's NOT the place to say no way Jose every time a post is made. It's also a place for those who've had any kinda unusual encounter to post it. Not just bigfoot. But do remember this AIN'T the forum to convince the world they don't exist. Please do that on a different forum.

Would it make you happy if I set up a forum called:

We don't believe in Big Foot just for you?

I have never seen or heard anything that I felt would be a bigfoot. However there are too many rebatable people that have had deferent sightings and or experiences to discount the fact that something beyond our knowledge is out there.
Simular sightings from around the world have been reported. As well as recorded or handed down by aboriginal cultures.
I live on an Indian reservation in Alaska, and though deferent from what you folks are describing, they have there legends as well as current experiences.
As a pastor I have a strong belief in the supernatural and have considered that possibility also.
I guess at the present time I am interested in this subject. While trying to keep an open mind. Interesting topic. Regards, Byron

Well pastorp all i can say is what I'm hearing at my camp because i haven't seen it yet but it sure sounds like the similair stories I have heard here too.  

Graybeard; I wish I had some of the nay sayers with me when this thing screams at me.  I'll bet they would beat feet out of there so quick they would forget there car!!!  This gut wrenching scream is just unbelievable and there is no way a small set of lungs could make this sound, its lungs have to be huge its that intense.  You just have to hear it.

In my camp my 44mag is always within reach so my guard is never down.  My camp gun is a Hakim 8mm w/25rd mag. that can send out a hail of 8mm bullets as fast as an AK47 without flinching.  I know something strange is out there and its just a matter of time that it may get bolder.   I take nothing for granted that i'm safe at anytime we just never know.

Some of my earlier experiences in the national forest has me wondering now as to what it was too.  Now i see very large tracks in the snow that i thought were bears but there distorted so i can't make them out perfectly but there too big for bears because there larger than my 13" sorrels?  I found these tracks in three different places that i hunt far apart so there is more than one too.  One set of tracks is near were my woodstove smoke goes up the ridge just over the end.  I'll see if i can get pics of the tracks so you can relate to the size of them.  

If i can get a pic its ok but i just want to see it once!!!!!       BigBill

Hi BigBill,  :D

In the past couple of years I have had five reports of extremely loud, unidentified screams or roars coming from the rugged mountains close to my home in British Columbia. One of these reports (as I previously posted here) came from my own youngest daughter, and I have no reason to believe she is lying or fabricating some twisted tale. Another possible Sasquatch scream or roar was heard and reported to me by a 16-year-old boy that stated - while I talked to him face to face at my home - that he believed it would have been impossible for any human to make such a loud vocalization without the assistance of some form of amplifier.

I thought some of you might be interested in viewing a photo of some Bigfoot/Sasquatch track castings I took a couple of months back at the home of Thomas Steenburg veteran Sasquatch investigator from British Columbia. The track castings are of immense size ranging from 15 to 18 inches in length by 5 to 7 inches in width. Now the way I see it, something has got to be making those darn tracks.

I tried posting the photo here but it wouldn't upload so you'll have to click the link to my album below to see it.

You guys keep me wishing I lived up in the Northwest, just once I would love to hear one or see one. I have listened to the recordings on the bigfoot sites, but I sure would like for the hair to raise up on the back of my neck from a live sound.
 I was just reading about an encounter in Oklahoma, at the Texas Bigfoot site. August 2004, Marrieta OK. But it sounded like it was ready to get agressive, throwing 45-55 lb chunks of rock. Don't know if I would like that or not. This was supposed to take place in an area know as "The pig pen" you guys familar with this area?

Sorry, I`ve never heard of it. And like yourself, I also have been on some of those Bigfoot sites, that claim they have the orginal Bigfoot sounds, only a few sounded like the sounds, I have out here in my neck of the woods. Like I was saying on one of the post, Bigfoot has several vocalizations, but the roar, will get your attention, right now :eek: . Its just like the roar, old Arnold made in that movie the predator?, thats the one where he was in the jungles of South America, and a predator was hunting his crew. Anyhow, when he stood on that old tree and made that roar, to stir the creature up, thats the sound. There are others sounds, but thats the one that does it for me :shock: .

Hi Gang,

I tried posting a photo of some Bigfoot/Sasquatch track casting here for you all to see but for some unknown reason I couldn't get it to upload.
Anybody interested in seeing the photo can simply go to my last post above and click on the link to my photo album.

Thanks Old Man Mountain :D
   Nice looking tracks, How many did you cast? Did you cast them yourself? Looks like you have some of them Bigfeets around also. It will be alot of waiting and watching, and listening, but sounds, like your in a good area, and if you have the time, I would pick me out a likley spot and sit down with a good pair of binoculars, and see what happenes.

Thanks for the photo`s

Hi BulletMaker,

The Bigfoot/Sasquatch track castings all belong to Thomas Steenburg author and veteran investigator in the field of Bigfoot. The darkest or gray colored track casting was cast by Thomas a few years back in B.C.'s Chilliwack River Valley not far the Washington state border.

I have found Sasquatch tracks on two seperate occassions. I found a string of fresh Sasquatch tracks in snow several years back in the isolated Pasayten River valley, not far from the town of Princeton, British Columbia. I also found a 16-inch Sasquatch track at the scene of my youngest daughter's encounter with the beast just a few miles east of Mission, British Columbia.

We are planning a trip for Sasquatch in a couple of months so I'll keep everyone posted on the outcome. Hopefully, we can outsmart the animal and catch it on camera for the world to see.

Thank you Pastor :D
   For you comments, I respect you or anyone that has an open mind that there are things out there that we have not found yet. I know a pastor back here in my home town, that I told a story to, and he just stood there and stared a blank look at me.  :-D  :-D . Probably thought I was demon possed. Anyhow Like the good book (Bible) said, there are strange and secrets, that still remain locked away, till the return of Jesus Christ. And I think these animals, that we keep discovering, is part of the Bible being fufilled.

Old Man Mountain, for some reason we're having a bit of a problem with the URLs from the gallery not showing as images on the forums. I'm hoping Matt gets it worked out soon. But they work fine when you click on them as links. Kinda weird in itself.

In your photo, the bottom cast, the white one. It looks like someone has drawn pencil lines on it. I can see what appears to be a heel and toes and the outline of the entire foot but then some extra marks also.

Were these in fact hand drawn on the cast for some reason or are they marks that just showed up in the orginal cast? If the latter any theory on what and why?

Graybeard, I looked at those photos also and I believe that is where they drew in the bone structure of the foot, showing the placement of the bones in relation to foot size and the joints would be.
I am just going to have to go on a bigfoot hunt one of these days.

Hi Graybeard,

I also tried uploading the photo of those Bigfoot track castings to another site and then linking to it from the forum but it would not work that way either. I figured I'd better find some way to get it up or the naysayers would be all over me like hogs on slop. Seems to work fine for the photos from within your server or domain, but as soon as you try and link from outside it's a no go.

Devilsrighthand hit the nail on the head when he stated the following:

I believe those lines depicting possible foot bone structure on that particular Bigfoot track casting were either drawn in — or copies of lines drawn in — by veteran Bigfoot investigator and author Professor Grover Krantz (now deceased).

To be able to have had a chance to study and hold those Bigfoot track castings of such gigantic proportions was an experience in itself for me.  Now my feet are not small by any means at size 12, but next to these track castings my foot looks like the foot of a baby. It makes me believe some of these Bigfoot/Sasquatch might tend to tower fairly high above their feet. :eek:

BigBill, i feel you have nothing to worry about. Bigfoots will not attack unprovoked. The scream you hear may be a territorial thing. If he REALLY wants you to leave, he'll bluff charge, much like a bear, lots of noise and fast movement. But i think he's just letting you know he's there, its his living room, and your the visitor. Dont be surprised if your cabin gets slapped hard during the night. Thats his way of saying "Hi".

He comes around when he smells wood smoke, because the smell of smoke means one of two thing, forest fire or man. Man means easy food, and curiosity. If he's not running you off, but does your friends, that says to me that he recognizes you, and knows what your up to. He apparently isnt afraid of you, as he is your friends.

It is a theory at this point, but they can be made friends with, kinda.
Leave a gift of food for the Big Guy, someplace he can find it easy and bears cant get to it. Hang it up high, about 7 feet perhaps. A bucket of apples works well. If he is attracted by the smell of cooking meat, leave him a small slab. You may wish to share your harvest with him too. Liver, kidneys, cooked meat. I've been involved in a few situations where food exchanges have taken place. Its very interesting.

After you do this a few times, they may leave a gift behind. Usually a pile of acorns, or white smooth stones. Sometimes, a wild animal kill. They actually (in my humble opinion) gentle beings, full of grace and intelligence.

My theory on rock throwing. If its bigger than a softball (the thrown rock) they are trying to force you away from the area. If its smaller, its humor. Listen close for a giggle.

They make a wide selection of vocals. From earth shattering screams and howls, to chirps, clicks, whistles and coo-ing. Some have heard a whistle that goes on for a rather long time, very musical. There are reports of a human sounding gibberish, or muffled speech-type vocal. Great mimics they are, it wouldnt surprise me if they could mimic human speech. They mimic birds, coyotes, and alot of other animals/birds. Owls seem to be a favorite.

Everyone, please feel free to email me or others about your experiences, ongoing situations or any questions you may have about Bigfoots.  8)

My goal in '05 is to get this gut wrenching bone chilling scream on tape because you guys who haven't heard this thing have to hear it(you non believers too)  It will sure make the hair on the back of your neck stand up when you hear it.  Its that intense.  I have never heard anything like in the woods in my life.                                           BigBill

Hey Big Bill:

I'm one of the "naysayers" who need actual evidence.  Contact me via PM or e-mail via the Profile button and I will arrange a trip out to where you live so you can show me these Bigfeet.  I'm not raggin' on you: I was schooled in the Scientific Method, and I want to gather solid evidence.  

Pictures good, dead Bigfoot better.

I will check my PM's once on Friday, December 31.  After that, since NON-BELIEVERS are not welcome to comment, apparently, I'll be outta here.

Sincerely,
Michbob (Robert A. Leach, Manistee, Michigan)

Hello Bigfootresearcher  :D
   We would like for you to post us some of your encounters, during your hunt`s, you seem to know what your talking about. How about filling us in on some of your stories?

Well, i guess i should start back when i was about 14, in the Scouts, on the Appalachian Trail, somewhere between Ft Washington, Penn, and Harpers Ferry WV. I think we were somewhere on the backside of the Army post, Ft Ritchie.

We had bedded down for the night, and shortly thereafter, a god awful scream and brush thrashing was heard about 200 yrds away, up on the ridgeline. At the time, none of us had heard about Bigfoot, but after that, i grabbed any book on the topic i could find at the time.

Been bigfootin ever since :) I've (not meaning to sound arrogant or bang my own drum) had many "fleeting glimpses", vocals, tracks, and a small handful of actual sightings. I belong to a prominent research group (all volunteer), and hold down a full time job. But Bigfootin holds much of my spare time (yeah, like i have much of THAT !!  :)  )

I've done most of my work in and around Maryland. I've been on some major expeditions, week long and weekend, with the sole purpose of collecting evidence, and sharing info with other researchers. I have been privileged to be on a couple cases where there was ongoing incidents, food exchanges, some awesome recordings (in the hands of people who can do the best with them), some wonderful times !!!

My best sighting though, would be the Big Male, i named "Thor". I spotted him on evening when i went to a sighting location, just to see the lay of the land. I was in the area during the day, and thought i'd swing by (not far out of my way). I noticed him halfway up the slope, looking sideways at me. He was frozen in position, not moving a muscle. He was HUGE !!! Long head hair, extremely muscular, robust chest, round shoulders (looked like someone shoved basketballs on his shoulders), tan in color. I wouldn't have noticed him, except for the color difference of him and the autumn woods. It was like a bright neon sign on that hillside.
[edit] : I thought he was a beautiful animal, in the prime of his life, a sure sign of a healthy environment !!  :grin: [/edit]

Further study of this area revealed that it is used by what could be a clan of suspected sasquatch. Thor, the dom male, two breeding females, two offspring, not full grown, and one older animal who seems to hang out on the fringe of the active areas. One of the suspected females has a foot shape much like a bears hind foot, but much bigger (approx 18") with small pea-pod toes. Her offspring has an almost identical foot.  The offspring of the other suspected female has an almost identical foot shape as its parent also. There "may" be smaller offspring, not yet walking. This theory is based on witness sightings, tracks and knowledge of other suspected sasquatch clans.

I am here, i guess, to share some knowledge, learn some things, and maybe some people will get to know me, and be comfortable sharing their own experiences with these magnificent animals !!
If your going to walk on thin ice, you might as well Dance  :grin:

No one said you "couldn't" comment. Just said it's getting old having to listen to a challenge of every post. That is not going to continue.

For the record I too am still in the non believer category. But I'm willing to be convinced if I see some proper evidence and I don't need a dead critter to convince me. In fact I have no interest in shooting one assuming of course they do exist. I do admit I think there is something out there and whatever we want to name it I think folks are at least some of the time seeing and hearing a critter not among the normal list of things known about. Of course there are also a lot of pure bunk reports which just cloud the issue. How to sort which are which is the problem.

BTW if I were you I'd not be holding my breathe waiting on BigBill to invite you to show you one. At no time has he said he has SEEN one. Heard yes. Seen no. Besides he won't even share his beans with bigfoot so you know dang well he ain't gonna share them with a disbeliever.  :-D
