Sasquatch Researcher Shares Mysterious Gifts Left by Bigfoot

So I just came across this really interesting video from Scott Carpenter over at the Sasquatch Awareness Project on YouTube, and I had to share it with you all because the stories he tells are just too good to pass up.
The whole video centers around two main topics: gifts and shelters, and how both can be signs that Sasquatch are frequenting an area. Scott breaks down what he considers "gifting" behavior, and honestly, some of his personal accounts are pretty remarkable.
One story that really stuck with me is the blue jay feather situation. Scott explains how he started finding blue jay feathers placed right beside his truck door every single morning. Not just once or twice, but five times in a row, even after he moved the truck to different spots around his driveway. That's not a coincidence. That's intentional placement. He's got photos of all five feathers to prove it, and he's also had feathers placed perfectly centered on his front steps, right in the middle of the third step up. The precision is what makes it so compelling.
But the wild mint story might be the most fascinating part of the entire video. Scott was out on a trail, resting after a climb, when a gust of wind caught his bug spray and blew it right in his face. He coughed, recovered, and continued his hike. About 45 minutes to an hour later, on his way back on the same trail with no forks and no other hikers, he found a precariously balanced stack of rocks on a stump with wild mint tucked underneath the top rock. The arrangement was so delicate it almost fell over when he touched it. He took it home, researched it, and discovered that wild mint is a natural bug repellent. So essentially, after watching him struggle with his chemical spray, someone left him a natural alternative. The intelligence and intentionality behind that act is something you really have to wrap your head around.
He also talks about finding a pristine hawk skull at his feeding station, left in exchange for candy bars he had placed there. And he gets into shelters too, showing examples of stick structures that have that organized, deliberate quality to them, along with signs that something large had been laying in them.
Scott makes a really good point throughout the video that gifts can have multiple meanings. Sometimes they're just a calling card to let you know they're around. Sometimes it's a barter exchange. And sometimes, like with the mint, it's a purposeful gift with actual utility. The common thread is that when you start noticing these things, it's a clear signal that you're being watched and visited.
If you're into understanding the behavior and intelligence of Sasquatch, this video is absolutely worth your time. Scott's been doing this research for a long time and his firsthand accounts really paint a picture of beings who are far more aware and intentional than most people give them credit for.
