Veterans' Chilling Encounter with a Real-Life Sasquatch in Manananga Forest

A thrilling first-hand account of a Sasquatch encounter has been shared on the YouTube channel Cryptid Mysterious. The video, titled "Army Ranger and Ex-Marine Threatened By Giant Sasquatch | True Story," features a chilling tale of two veterans who had a close encounter with the elusive creature during a hiking trip in the Manananga National Forest. The two men, Constantino and Reyes, are both veterans of the armed services, with Constantino being a former Army Ranger and Reyes having served in the Marines. During a backpacking trip in the second week of September 2003, the two friends found themselves in a dense fog with limited visibility, making their hike through the forest particularly challenging. As they made their way through the thick fog, they heard the sound of a tree cracking and falling to their right. Instinctively, they ducked behind a tree, unsure of where the tree had fallen or how close it had come to them. The initial crack was followed by the thrashing and crashing of the tree as it fell through the canopy, ending with a loud thud as it hit the ground. Feeling uneasy, the two men continued on their hike, but they couldn't shake the feeling that something was off. Soon, they began to hear loud rustling and snapping of branches, followed by the sound of a large, heavy-footed animal stomping repeatedly on the forest floor. As they cautiously moved forward, a log came flying out of the fog and crashed just ahead of Constantino on the trail. It was clear that something or someone was toying with them, and Reyes was getting angry. He shouted out, challenging the unseen creature to come out and face them. It was then that they saw it - a Sasquatch standing just a few feet away from them in the fog. The creature was massive, with a shoulder width of at least 5 to 6 feet and covered in wet hair. Its face was contorted into a grimace, and it appeared to be preparing to attack. Despite their fear, the two men stood their ground, each holding a club and a knife. They stared each other down for what felt like an eternity, before the Sasquatch suddenly stepped back into the fog and disappeared. The two men waited for 20 minutes, expecting an attack at any moment, but the creature never reappeared. As the fog began to lift, they made their way out of the forest, shaken but grateful to be alive. This first-hand account is a fascinating addition to the many stories and legends surrounding the Sasquatch. While some may be skeptical, there's no denying the chilling detail and emotion in Constantino and Reyes' story. Whether you believe in the existence of Sasquatch or not, this video is definitely worth a watch.
