We had a Sasquatch living in the forest next to our property in Tennessee. On occasion he/it would come to the forests edge and stand there and look at us; he was every bit of 9-10 feet tall. We were scared out of our minds, but we had a wise father who said to leave him alone, he's causing no one any harm. As the years passed, we would raise our arm and give a gentle wave to him and go about our business. He looked just like the photos, standing upright and covered in hair. Over the years he would wave back and then vanish before our eyes. In the early days of meeting him, the dogs would bark and go crazy but over time, the dogs would run but stay out of the forest and just quietly look at him. I too believe they are inter-dimensional beings.

I don't doubt your story in the least! I am 71 years old and have heard so many people that have encountered "beings" such as yours. I remember that I once wrote a comment to you, asking if you were ever afraid. I know that you are one of the bravest people that I have ever known, but experiences like this would affect just about anyone in some manner. I absolutely love your videos. I love that you are so real to your subscribers. Stay safe my friend, and take good care of yourself and your precious companion, Frank. HUGGS!!!

I grew up in the bush in central BC and spent most of every summer at a place so isolated we had to fly in a bush plane to get there. I had my first experience there i was 11. Something screamed at my brother and I when we were in a boat on the lake. I knew every animal in the bush there, until that day. My most recent experience was 45 years later when several things happened right by my cabin the most noteable was being yelled at by something in a place where there were absolutely no other human beings.

I was taking care of my neighbor's horse's for him about 8 yrs ago while he was out of town, and on my last trip down there I locked up the round pen and turned to walk to my car and when I looked up I saw this figure in the woods of a man. The only way to describe it was see through. It looked just like the alien in the movie predator when it was cloaked. It jumped like it was startled and then dropped to the ground and crawled off into the woods. I think my heart sank into my stomach and my very first thought was "did I really just see that?" I did see it and I don't go out near the woods and haven't since that day. It had a very negative effect on me. When I decided to do some research yrs later, I discovered that many ppl have seen this thing. They call it the glimmer man. Since then I find it very hard to laugh at or discount anyone else's story of weird sightings. It might explain some of the other weird things that happened around here before that ever took place. I do believe they are sasquatch that can cloak. It makes sense why they are rarely ever seen. Thanks for sharing your story with us!

What makes this story great is that you are not trying to convince

I got chills a few times watching this !! the energy was def intense the whole time . i have had a few encounters here in oregon . all by bodies of water . one of the times - my son and i had been camping up in mt hood down a forest service road when we had gone on a lil hike down to the creek . i too am someone very comfortable in nature, but i got this looming feeling that something was not right . i was born and raised in alaska and have been around many large creatures and have also encountered a mountain lion here in oregon - but it felt like nothing of the sort . it didnt exactly feel dark, but more so very, very heavy and stern . i felt i was unwelcome and like i couldnt turn my back against myself . i got major goosebumps and then heard a big splash in the creek a bit up the way and saw a flash out the corner of my eye . i froze and told it i honor its space and would leave immediately - we friggin booked it outta there !! i too believe they are multidimensional beings, that just want their own space . almost like giant hermits that live on the other side . creepy cool stuff for sure, phew . thanks for sharing ! <3

[raktoda]

Whoa ! You are so correct in describing that change in energy field, almost like impending doom, a heavy barometric pressure squeeze. I had my dog (Scottish Deerhound mix)with me and her hairs stood up on end ! She began to run in what you young ones call "zoomies" only in really tight 4' circles around me, almost like protecting me from something she could not combat or confront any other way..I said "You feel that too?".we hightailed it out of there like tornado wind.That high adrenaline level did not subside till we got down mountain to truck.I don't recall any sounds or smells, but then I don't know how we got down mountain so fast either.We we're far from decent trail, in a lateral, second ridge area of mountain.Thanks for post.At age 69 I guess I can now confirm my experience as one shared by others.

Thanks for sharing. I've been waiting lol.
My encounter was about 25 years ago. I drove truck over the road and was in Tennessee. I found an off the beaten path truck stop with a huge empty lot in the back. It was up against a forest. I was too exhausted to explore so I parked out there and went to sleep. At dusk I woke to my truck rocking. I jumped up thinking I was dreaming but I was still moving. I figured someone had parked too close and hit me. But when I looked out the passenger side window, there were no other vehicles. Then there it was. It walked into the thickness of the forest about 30 yards away. I know what I saw. It was a sasquatch for sure. It was amazing how before my eyes it just disappeared, whether literally or into its surroundings. When I'm in those remote places I think about that day. But I have yet to be so lucky again. I didn't get the vibe until after I had a chance to think about what I actually saw.
Thanks again Amanda. xoxoxo for Frank!

Welcome to the Club. Great observations, always listen to “vibes”, “feelings”, “sixth sense” or whatever term you subscribe to because I agree they give you the “Heebee jeebees” to warn you out of their area. I glad you didn’t get scared out of the forest, sometimes you just need to move to a different area for awhile.
I saw one in 1970 but have been “ uninvited” to share the forest area a few times since. I literally tell them “I mean you no harm, please don’t scare me, I’ll leave” and the feeling of foreboding lifts and I leave.

[RRMOVANLIFE]

A bit of advice...First and foremost if you get that feeling of dread or to get out or stay out, then leave immediately the way you came. 9 times out of 10 they will follow (escort) you out of the area. When your out there in your van camping like that use security lights on the outside of your van on each side, because they won't come near your van when you have those lights. I use the solar security lights that I hang on magnet hooks (make sure they have on and off switches so it's easy to just install them in a moment). Simply place them on each side of the van. They stay away from lighted areas. However, they will try them and try to figure them out. I've had that happen! They are curious. Also, tell them when you arrive in their territory like that "I'm here just for a few days to enjoy the land. I'm not here to bother you, harass you, or cause you any harm. I'm simply here to enjoy the land and I will be gone. I expect the same courtesy. Do not bother me, harass me, throw things at me or my van, terrorize me, or come near my area while I am here. I know your watching and that's okay. Just keep your distance and don't scare, harass, or terrorize me while I'm here." They are watchers and it's what they do, but they are also listening! For extra security you can use trail camera's on each side of your camp site pointing toward one another. They won't come near the infrared! Just some advice from someone who has learned to coexist with them. I was terrified for the longest time and quit going out camping and doing the things I love, but with God's help and some advice from Scott Carpenter I learned how to just coexist with them and what measure to take to keep myself safe. Stay aware and stay safe!

I believe you! My ex-wife and I had an encounter in 1982 near San Diego. I know that feeling well, - dread, doom, and nothing we can do we sat huddled under a tree with long branches till morning. I haven't been comfortable camping since but still do, the Van helps! Thanks for sharing this.

I follow a retired firefighter in AZ who shares his van and trailer setups and imagery of backcountry AZ and firefighter stories on his small channel. He also started sharing repeated Sasquatch experiences describing similar telepathic and ephemeral presence phenomena, though not threatening.

[dennisseverns]

Great that you shared your story.

I live in Colorado, in an area that has had the most sightings in the state. Have had multiple encounters and sighting here and in North Texas.

Had a couple encounters in Missouri and California as well. My encounter in California was similar to yours, that is the one encounter, where I was hit by that extreme fear, to the point that I went running through the woods. Now I am more aware of them, and do not get as excited when I sense them around. I know that if any of them wanted to harm me, they would not give me any warning.

At the end of your story, I felt something there, then I noticed that you reacted to it as well. The hair on my neck stood up just beore you reacted.

Stay safe and keep enjoying the outdoors.

My friend has property near ruby creek here in the fraser valley. One day we were camping on her property and it got very quiet and then we heard 4 distinct knocks all perfectly timed apart. Both my dogs started freaking out both my friend and I looked at each other and knew. Her family has had many experiences with them during their time here. Her family' s house shock violently one night after the guys tried scaring it off. I have definitely felth their presence in and around Sxotsaqel (chwk lake) a number of sightings happened in that area before. Thanks for sharing. I always wondered if you had, had experienced them in your travels. And i concur. Multidimensional for sure.

[susancurrie]

I know many people don't believe this kind of energy exists but it certainly does. They are always around us some for good some not for good. Very important for all of us to recognize this. I know now why I relate to you.

[bobbiebastin]

Never saw Bigfoot, but hiking in the Smokies listening to beautiful sounds in the forest and then total silence, told my boyfriend we are turning back now! I had no thought of Bigfoot I just knew to leave immediately, now I know what was beyond that point, you said exactly what I felt, it had total control over everything! Thank you!

[shesoutthere]

Wow! If there was anyone I would believe about Sasquatch it would be you because I know you are authentic in every realm of your life. Happy trails

[marianfrances]

Crazy times! I've had the heebie jeebies many a time but my craziest encounter was more like possibly alien. This happened just east of Hinton, Alberta, around 1978. (Yes, I'm pushing 69!) There is no short story but two of us, plus a dog, we're disturbed by footsteps passing right beside our truck cap camper at the time. It was like 1 a.m. and we'd been sleeping . Thinking we should investigate (and the dog was totally losing it) we got out and looked around, into the dark forest surrounding us and saw or heard nothing...until this cylindrical shaped shaft of light appeared in the forest, slowly disappearing from the ground up...no sound. Never broke camp so fast in my life....and never camped there since!!!
I was so buzzed out, we stopped at a 24 hour gas station in Hinton and I found myself walking across the parking lot with no pants on!!!! Years later I met a man who had worked for the Hinton newspaper. I told him this story and he said many people had come to the paper to report similar

[holisticgeek]

When i would go to a cabin in northern Minnesota owned by my ex partner's family, I had a number of experiences when I came alone with my dog. The first one was the sound of someone yelling "Woo!" over and over from a big meadow just 100 meters away from the cabin. I even called the county sheriff to report it as I thought it was guys partying out in the meadow on the property. Then the "woo" got slightly more hollow and less human-like but still human. After that, many times throughout the next few months we heard loud sub-human unidentifiable MOANING in the forest about maybe a kilometer away. I started examining pictures I'd been taking at the cabin, and one from a previous year I decided to zoom in as far as I could go from the hi-res digital photo, and there was this "being" just crouched at the tree line. Facial features, hair all around the face, shoulders and arms. Just looking at us from about 100 meters away at the treeline. I've shared the photo and an audio recording with a number of groups, but the family is hesitant to have anyone really "investigate".
