A chilling tale of a close encounter with a Sasquatch has been making the rounds on YouTube, and I couldn't resist sharing it with our fellow Bigfoot believers. The story comes from a YouTube channel called The Hidden Thread and is titled "BIGFOOT: I Was Dragged by a Sasquatch: A Terrifying True Story from the Kentucky Woods." The video begins with the channel's host sharing a first-hand account of a friend's experience in 2001. The friend was driving on a quiet highway in Kentucky when his van broke down. As he waited for a tow truck, he noticed an old man waving at him from a nearby house. The old man, a World War II veteran, invited him in for a cup of coffee and began sharing stories from his life. As they talked, the topic of Bigfoot came up, as the old man's property was located near a heavily wooded area. The old man then shared a terrifying experience he had when he was just 11 years old. At that time, his family lived deep in the woods, and the forest was his playground. One day, while camping in his dad's favorite hunting spot, he fell asleep and woke up to a musky smell, like a mix between a wet dog and rotten eggs. Suddenly, something grabbed his foot and started dragging him deeper into the woods. The old man described the creature's grip as firm but oddly gentle, and despite his attempts to hold on to the tent, he was pulled away. He could hear the creature talking to another creature in English, but he couldn't understand what they were saying. Eventually, the footsteps faded away, and he was left alone in the woods. When he returned home, his mother opened the door and screamed at the sight of his torn clothes, scratches, and bleeding. He tried to explain what had happened, but his mother dismissed it and told him not to tell his father. The next morning, his father woke him up and said, "I believe you son, but never go into the woods alone again and never tell anyone about this." The old man told the host that he'd seen the horrors of war and had witnessed carnage on the battlefield, but nothing compared to the terror he felt that day in the woods. He believed that the creature that grabbed him was a juvenile Sasquatch, and the larger creature that ward it off was likely its parent. This video is a fascinating addition to the many stories and encounters that have been shared over the years. It's always exciting to hear about new experiences and perspectives on the elusive Sasquatch.
