Experienced Hiker STALKED BY SASQUATCH in Willamette National Forest, Oregon
An experienced hiker/camper was in Willamette National Forest, Oregon. After about a week on the trail, he began to sense that he was being followed, eventually believing that it was a Sasquatch.
The following account was forwarded to me:
“I was hiking in the Cascades in Willamette National Forest, Oregon. It was a remote area of the range. On the 7th day of my hike, the hair on the back of my neck started to stand up. I chalked it up to be a mountain lion in the area. But the weird thing was the uneasy feeling never left.
That night I set up camp, planning to stay put for a few days. That is when I heard the strange howling. It wasn’t wolves or bears or any other animal I had ever heard. The closest thing I could relate it to is the noises primates make. This persisted for the next few nights. Something started rummaging through my campsite soon after. I assumed it was a bear or raccoon.
But then on the 9th day, I woke up and my food bag was removed from the tree. Something had cut the line through. All my food was gone. I decided to break camp and push forward. I had a few days left until the end of the trail. I could always fish for food.
The same nightly activities occurred on the 11th night. By that time I was sure that I was being followed. Something started throwing rocks at my tent. For some reason, I lost it. I screamed into the darkness for whatever it was to leave me alone. Hoping it was just some person f*cking with me and maybe they’d leave me the hell alone. Instead, it grew quiet for the first time in nights. Nothing could be heard. Then a scream louder and more vicious than any other night cut through the silence. Then nothing, complete and utter silence again.
Despite it being quiet I wasn’t able to sleep that night. I just waited. The next day I continued my hike, dead tired, just wanting to get out. The hair on the back of my neck still standing, and the forest was still quiet. I felt like I was being hunted.
Towards the end of the day, I sat down to rest before pushing a few more miles when I saw it. Something tall and large, bigger than any man or animal I had seen, sliding through the forest not making a noise. I yelled at it. It turned to look at me. I never got a good look at it through the trees and the brush and it was dark. I threw a rock at it and then pulled my knife. This thing just kept staring at me. I don’t know what kicked in, but I no longer felt scared. Dammit, I was angry and I bluff-charged at the thing. It stepped back a few steps then stopped. I yelled again. This time it took off running to my left. It had long strides and was quite agile.
I was very tired and made camp there. A night of silence. When I woke up the next day I knew that I had about 10 miles until the end of the trail. Exhausted, hungry, and mentally drained, I made my way out. As I got closer and closer to the end of the trail, the typical forest noises returned. I no longer had this feeling of unease. I got to the trail’s end and sat in my car. I was an emotional wreck.
I believe that I was stalked by a Sasquatch, but I just don’t know. I told a park ranger about it and he jokingly said they have a bunch of Sasquatch sightings in the area, but most likely it was my own imagination. I still do a lot of long hikes, but that trip was by far the worst.” C

MASSIVE BIGFOOT Encountered by Local Hiker in the Great Smoky Mountains
An Appalachian Trail enthusiast and Mitchell County, NC resident describes his encounter with a massive Bigfoot while he was hiking over the mountains and into Tennessee.
I frequent the Appalachian Trail and work at the Greasy Creek Friendly hostel in Mitchell County, North Carolina. The closest town is Irwin, Tennessee just about 20 to 30 miles south of the hostel.
So one day I headed out towards Irwin. I never thought I’d see what I saw on that hike. I end up turning a corner and about 10 feet in front of me I saw this hairy being around eight to nine feet tall and about four to five feet wide at the shoulders. This thing was buff. When I walked up on it, I stopped dead in my tracks. Frozen. Not from fear, but like what the ‘F’ is that?
It was looking away from me, so I never saw its face. It was looking down at something in its right hand. Its left hand and arm were so long that it reached its knees. I could see the lines in its palm and fingers. It had rust-brown hair with gray around the neck and wrists. I think it realized I was there and it lifted its head from looking down at its hand and froze. Then all sudden it just ran away and never looked back. It just bolted away and damn was it fas. This experience only lasted a few seconds. When it ran away I saw its muscles move. It had a giant V-like back strap that I could clearly see flex and move around. No way that thing was a man in a suit. This area doesn’t really have many hikers this time of year.
I think the Bigfoot are used to being able to roam free this time of year because there is less pressure from hikers. Plus the gray hair made me think it was old and probably didn’t hear me walk up on it.
I never told anyone on the trail about my encounter and those I’ve told who are close to me just laughed. I’ve heard several stories about this area and Bigfoot sightings, especially on Roan Mountain. The locals even put signs in the woods stating ‘Bigfoot Sanctuary.’ That area is hot. I also heard a roar there once that was so loud and sounded like a mountain lion mixed with a human scream. It woke me up out of a dead sleep and scared the hell out of me.” Zeke

NOTE: I find this account very interesting because part of my maternal grandmother’s family originated in Mitchell County, NC not far from the location. I have spent time on Roan Mountain and am very aware of the ‘Wildman’ stories that have been told by the locals for many years. Lon
