A recent YouTube video from the channel "iNTO THE FRAY Radio" caught my attention, and I just had to share it with all of you fellow Bigfoot enthusiasts out there. In this episode, titled "Bigfoot in the Bitterroot," the host interviews Jeff, a Pacific Northwest resident who has been part of the Bigfoot community for around 15 years.
Jeff's interest in Bigfoot began when he saw the famous Patterson-Gimlin film at a theater in Woodburn, Oregon, back in 1972. The film left a lasting impression on him, despite his friends teasing him for believing in Bigfoot. Over the years, his fascination with the creature has only grown, and he now shares his experiences and knowledge with others.
During the interview, Jeff also talks about a haunted house his family moved into when he was a child. The house was once owned by a doctor and was rumored to be the site where a woman named Aunt Edna had lived. Jeff's sister mentioned that their father's friend had told them Bigfoot stories while camping near Woodland and Cougar, Washington, when they were very young. These early experiences may have subconsciously contributed to Jeff's interest in Bigfoot.
The haunted house had a profound impact on Jeff. He experienced strange occurrences, such as the piano playing by itself and an unseen entity scratching the side of the house. Eventually, he moved out and found refuge with his mother. The family later discovered that the house had a history of ghost sightings, including Aunt Edna appearing to Jeff's sisters in her early 1900s attire.
Jeff's story is a fascinating glimpse into the world of Bigfoot and the experiences that can spark a lifelong interest in the elusive creature.
