Myles /Sally Chidress has left a new comment on your post "Share a Sighting, Talk Bigfoot":
I write this down with much anger directed at United States Forest Service. Our camping trip started on July 17 and ended yesterday. We had bought a season pass for all the campgrounds in the Siskiyou range of Oregon. On Friday we camped at the Lake called Sru.
We had talked with rangers and were never told of any strange happenings there. Saturday night at midnight we were all awakened by a horrific scream from near the lake. The other two campers there also came out with flashlights to find out what it was. The scream was so loud it actually echoed through the mountainside. All of us sat up the rest of the night and herd two more screams some distance away.
Not one of us ever saw the screamer but seem to know it wasn't a man or woman.We left the camp at daylight and drove to Powers. There in Powers the local camp host for Powers Pond told us of this monster at the lake. It made me very angry that the ranger said not one word about a safety issue at that lake. 5 adults and 7 children were camped at the lake at the time of the sounds.
We were told of this sight in which tracks the goings on up there. A person camped at the Powers Pond told us of bigfoot bally and of course we googled it and found bigfoot ballyhoo. Now we have read all of the information from your site and feel the ranger put us in grave danger by not informing us of this ongoing situation. We feel a formal complaint to the forest service is in order. In one of the other camps the clothes line had been destroyed in the night but we failed to find anything other than it out of place.
We have now returned to Red Bluff, Ca. but will still file a complaint with that ranger district.

For crying out loud! How was hearing three vocalizations from a forest-dwelling creature whose backyard you ended up camping in being in "grave danger"? You heard three sounds which may have been, for all you know, a cougar screaming. Do you still have all of your arms and legs? Is anyone bleeding? Are you going to file a complaint with the Forest Service the next time you see a bear? There are wild creatures in the woods. If you're going to get angry about it, DON'T TAKE YOUR KIDS CAMPING.
The forest service really should tell people they have had problems in that area. But a complaint will do you no good. As far as a cougar, they don't scream that loud and deep. As far as the grave danger, when your in the forest you can be in danger if you let yourself get there.As for the above comment I believe it is overboard and not helpful. Maybe if the above were the ones it would be a different story.
If you listen to the so called experts in the bigfoot field there has never been a documented attack by one of these creatures, if they do exist, in the last century. You are more likely to be hurt by a bear, cougar, elk or deer than you are by a yet to be proven two legged forest dwelling primate. Get a grip, or stay out of the woods. In all likely hood it was probably some idiots playing a call blaster.
Think I am amazed at the attitude of some of the comments. These folks have a right to camp in the national forest with safety. If the ranger district CANNOT guarantee some sort of safety then the place needs to be closed. No one was hurt but if someone had been then all you naysayers could be barking a different tune. Put yourselves in their place and see how you'd feel.
Some are missing the point here. If the USFS knows there to be trouble in that or any other area they should tell people that plan a camping trip into these places. To just remain silent and hope for the best is criminal. What if these people had been hurt or worse ,would you still say "for crying out loud?'
Biggest criminals within the United States of America are the presidents and the rest of the government officials!!!
The USFS denies the exsistence of this creature so they have effectively tied their own hands as they can hardly tell campers "you may hear loud screams and whistles etc. and this could be a Bigfoot in your area. Please be cautious." They frustrate our efforts to confirm this creatures exsistence and they have tied their own hands in informing the public. Double edged sword.
