Bigfoot Ballyhoo

(THIS EXPERIENCE FROM Triuneicthus)

Good to hear from you again Linda. I had no idea they were going to do a Finding Bigfoot special until I just heard it from you, and found out it will be on Disney+.

I can't remember if I commented about this on another one of your videos, but I'll tell you as quick as I can about another experience I had. A year and a half ago my buddy and I went backpacking near Mt Lassen. I forget the name of the loop we did, but if you go clockwise, the first 4 or 5 miles were all dead trees because of a fire that happened up there some years ago.

I think most people go that way so they can get the dead out of the way first and make it to the lakes with trees. We decided to stop at a little lake in the burned out are because we figured it'd have the least amount of campers and good views of the stars at night. We went to bed around 9:30, 10, and after a few minutes I could hear my buddy snoring and I just laid there trying to fall asleep.

Around 11, out of nowhere I hear something going through my trash bag hanging in a tree about 40 feet from my tent. At first I was thinking deer, but the only thing in the bag was my empty lasagna dinner package, and I wouldn't think a deer would be interested in that. I listened to it for about 5 seconds and it just stopped. Keep in mind, I heard no sound of anything moving toward the trash bag, and it was super quiet out there. I started thinking bear, but I would have heard a bear walk up and sniff or grunt while going through the bag, right? I wasn't really worried about a bear anyways. But, after whatever it was stopped going through the bag, I clearly heard it walk bipedally, not quadrupedally, towards my tent.

I've been in the woods long enough to know the difference of what a biped and quadruped sound like walking. And whatever it was sounded really heavy. This thing walked right up to my tent, literally inches from my head on the other side of my tent, and instead of remaining calm, unfortunately I freaked out and shouted out to my friend, "Paul! Paul! Wake up!". Immediately whatever it was turned and ran off, CLEARLY on 2 feet. It sounded exactly like a man running off.

My buddy shined his light towards my tent but didn't see anything. I immediately got out of my tent, looked around with my flashlight, and then started a fire. As I started the fire, just off in the distance, my buddy and I heard what sounded like a soft moaning. It's hard to explain the exact sound on here. At first, I was pretty nervous about what I had heard, but after a few minutes, that nervousness turned to excitement IF what I heard was what I thought it was. We stayed up and talked and played cards, keeping the fire going, shining our headlamps and flashlights into the surrounding area every few minutes. Around 2, I had to go pee, so I got up and turned around to walk away a little bit and as I did, just on the other side of this dead tree laying on the ground, my light hit eye shine, which was a yellowish, greenish color, which I would say was approximately 5 feet in the air, and as it did, it ducked behind the tree. If it was a deer, why would it duck? Would a bear duck? If it was a bear, why didn't we hear it? I called out to my friend to shine his light in that area, but we didn't see anything after that.

We continued to talk and play cards all night, continuing to hear that moaning sound about every 15 to 20 minutes. At about 4, just on the other side of the trail, maybe 100, 150 feet away, a tree fell down. That got our attention because it was the 3rd tree that we heard "fall" that night. We chalked it up to it just being dead trees falling, but there was no wind at all. We never heard any growls or screaming, any type of chatter, except for the moaning, and we never smelled anything.

The eastern sky FINALLY started to get brighter to wear we could actually see the area around us, so we decided to try to get a few hours sleep. I woke up around 830 and the first thing I did was look for any type of footprints, and didn't really see anything suspicious. I went to where I saw the eye shine on the other side of the tree was a hole approximately 6 feet wide by 6 feet, and maybe 2 feet deep full of branches. Why didn't we hear anything on the other side of that tree, especially when it ducked down?? The whole event was just weird.

I didn't see whatever it was, so I can't say for sure it was a bigfoot. But I know what I heard, I know it was bipedal, heavy, and walked around at night with no type of light. Now I always take at least one trail cam with me when I go and a digital recorded.
