Melanie Lynskey, Tawny Cypress, Jasmine Savoy Brown, Liv Hewson Sophie Thatcher, Simone Kessell and the cast of Yellowjackets share their thoughts on what the “The Wilderness” is.
A hiker/camper was in Desolation Wilderness, California when he had a harrowing encounter with a Bigfoot at his campsite. He shot the creature with a handgun, though it didn’t seem to faze it.
The following account was recently forwarded to me:
“When I was younger I used to go to a place called Desolation Wilderness near Camino, California. It was the perfect place for camping and fishing realizing that it had been a few years since my last trip. I talked to a friend of mine to go camping and fishing. We managed to talk another friend into coming with us and then we were off. We arrived around 1pm and decided to hike upstream from a place called Wright’s Lake and then when we found a good spot we would set up camp.
After walking for a couple hours a Ranger found us hiking and told us that we actually weren’t even technically in Desolation Wilderness yet and that we needed to keep hiking for a bit longer. I started tearing down the camp but I guess the other two guys were not as enthusiastic about the trip as I was. They left for Placerville to find a hotel room. When they left I hiked up a bit farther but I started to worry about the amount of time I had to find a place and set up my camp before dark.
As I hiked I tried to remember the Ranger’s instructions but I ended up getting lost. Finally, I found a granite cliff with a stream that had a beautiful pool of water and was right on the tree line. I thought it was perfect so I set up camp and started fishing.
When the sun had set and the sky was dark I decided to go to sleep. Cozy in my sleeping bag I started to drift off but then I heard something growl outside my tent. I grabbed the .45 Compact handgun from its case and looked down through the screen on the front of the tent. From where I was standing I could only see a dark figure that looked around four and a half feet tall standing near the trees. Thinking that it was a bear I started yelling hoping that I would scare it away. It didn’t move. I then fired a shot at a dead tree nearby. That startled it and it ran back into the forest. But to my surprise, it didn’t go very far. I climbed back into my tent.
Then I heard crashing sounds. It was the sound of rocks falling off the cliff and hitting the pool below and the rocks around it. This was unnerving. I climbed out of my tent a few times but I couldn’t see anything even though the moon was bright and the white granite rocks reflected its paleness. Crashing rocks hit every few minutes until around two in the morning. Then it stopped. But I heard something rustling just outside my tent. I yelled at it and tried to scare it off. But instead of scaring it I heard a very deep growling sound in return. At this point, I didn’t want to wait until it got too close. So I got out of my tent and looked around. Nothing. I decided to shoot the tree again to see if the creature would react then run back into the forest again just like the first time. But it stopped again. As I listen to the sounds of his moving I realized that it was running on two feet. This was not a bear.
I didn’t want to go back into my tent. I grabbed my sleeping bag and moved over to the middle of the big slab of white granite nearby. I felt safer and knew the forest was further away from me. But I could still hear the noises of rocks crashing. I prayed the sun would come up soon.
At about 4:30 in the morning, I was awoken from my light sleep. I looked back at the trees but didn’t see anything. So I looked back over at my tent, There it was standing at the side of my tent. I panicked and picked up my gun and shot the side of the creature but it didn’t flinch. Then, with giant steps, it walked toward me. I shot at it. I wasn’t sure if a .45 would even stop such a beast. But it was my only hope. After the second shot rang out it was off into the trees. Shaking like a leaf I sat down clutching my gun. I waited for hours until the light started to appear in the sky. I broke camp and headed back down to Wright’s Lake. That was the last time I saw the creature. That was also the last time I went to the Desolation Wilderness and I will never go back.”
NOTE: This isn’t the only Bigfoot encounter report I have received from this location. I posted this – Campers Experience Possible Sasquatch Sounds and Voices in the Desolation Wilderness, CA – in September 2022. Lon

Three friends are camping in the Desolation Wilderness, California when they start to experience light, sound, and voice anomalies. They later believe that the cause may have been Sasquatch related.
“Before I detail my experience let me provide a brief introduction. I’ve been camping, fishing, and hunting most of my life. I spent quite a bit of time in the forest and bush.
My experience happened over 45 years ago. I have thought about this since then and dreamed about it too. It has not been until quite recently that I thought that this strange experience could be related to Sasquatch. It was mid-August 1974 and the location was the Tahoe Yosemite Trail portion of the Pacific Coast Trail, also known as the Desolation Wilderness. This area isn’t far from where Ron Moorhead recorded the Sierra Sounds. I and two friends were backpacking for a week, west of Echo Summit on Highway 50. We were camped out at Lake Ralston near Ralston Peak at over 8,000 feet and surrounded by granite and sporadic high timber.
One night, all three of us experienced some very weird phenomena. There was a bright white light shining through the trees to the southeast of us. It stayed stationary and it was incredibly bright, significantly brighter than any star, although the stars were beautiful at that elevation. It wasn’t Venus and it was not present on any other night. We also heard what can be described as a siren-like sound. It sounded like a woo, woo, and repeated with almost no break for several minutes. Then the siren-like sound stopped and we heard what we thought were voices calling. We could all make out the words. These vocals were coming in from the direction of the light and siren-like sound. All the sounds were fairly distant, certainly at least a few hundred yards back from the direction we had hiked into where we were camped. These phenomena occurred simultaneously. The siren-like sound ended, then the first voices started out light and stayed present throughout the entire experience. It lasted for half an hour, then nothing. We don’t see anything unusual or smell anything rank.
We acknowledged that this experience was very strange, so maybe there was a fire or someone was lost, which is what was happening. We didn’t experience anything like that again for the rest of our stay. We hiked out a few days later. We checked at the lodge at Echo Lakes. They didn’t know what we were talking about and said there had been no fires or searches for any lost hikers during the week.
None of us mentioned anything about Sasquatch, but after hearing Ron Moorhead’s recordings and Les Stroud’s experiences it dawned on me that these types of phenomena have all been experienced by others and that perhaps our weird experience was of a hairy people origin. I’m open to people’s input.” JS

Control of the Tomb Raider and Deus Ex IPs has now officially transferred to Eidos Montreal and Crystal Dynamics following their surprisingly cheap sale from Square Enix to Embracer Group. Alex and Jim wonder what this means for the future in the video below.
We know that a new Tomb Raider game is in active development. It’s being developed in Unreal Engine 5, and is set to “unify the timelines” of the classic games and the reboot trilogy. Quite how that will pan out is anyone’s guess: three games in, the reboot trilogy is still at a stage where Lara hasn’t *quite* become the Tomb Raider yet. Not quite risen. Not quite unveiled, still in shadow. See what they did there?
And so, though it introduced supernatural elements early on, the reboot has a lot of as-yet-unspun connective tissue to make up before any convincing bridge between Lara’s traumatic origins having to wade through the gritty realism of shooting Russian mercenaries and feeling quite bad about it, and her zenith (or nadir, depending on who you ask) as a wisecracking aristo thief who gleefully guns to death the last actual living T-Rex.
