I've been reading all the stories from Bill Emery on this blog. I wasn't going to ever tell of my experience in the Siskiyous of last month May 25, 2010. I wish not to give my name because I have a great deal to lose and nothing to gain from this story I am about to tell.
It was around 10:30 in the morning when I was doing a survey in between Elk River and Euchre Creek. I will not give the exact location out. I had been marking trees with paint when I returned to my pickup for a coffee break. I happened to look down this old road with small brush growing in the road and on the side and and saw a very black figure emerge from behind a thicket.
I could not believe what I was looking at. This thing was well over eight feet tall and around seven to eight hundred pounds. It was nothing I had ever seen or studied about in forestry. It was clearly a two-legged Sasquatch/Bigfoot . It had two long strong arms, two heavy legs with large feet and a massive chest covered in black hair. In fact the body was covered sparsely in hair except around the mouth and eyes. The arms and legs seen to have more thicker hair on them. It looked something between a large man and a ape but not quite either. It gazed at me for around half a minute and very rapidly move into the deep brush.
I was utterly unnerved because I have always been told by fellow colleagues and top officials, Bigfoot does not exist. I then thought long and hard if I wanted to report this and after some thought I decided nobody would believe this and it could potentially kill my job. ... I really don't have anybody I can discuss this with so I felt it would be better to tell of it on this blog.
