A thrilling firsthand account of a close encounter with a Sasquatch has been making waves in the Bigfoot community. The testimony comes from a man who, along with his wife, had a terrifying encounter with the elusive creature while on a nighttime walk near Olympic National Park in Port Angeles, Washington. The couple, who were in their late twenties at the time, were taking a break by a lake when they heard a twig snap. They initially thought it was a small animal, but as the sounds of sticks snapping and leaves crunching grew louder, they realized something much larger was approaching. The wife became increasingly frightened, and the husband, who always carried a pistol, prepared for the worst. As the sounds grew closer, the husband could only think of one thing: Steve Lily. He had always been fascinated by the idea of encountering a Sasquatch, and now it seemed like a real possibility. The couple started to hear heavy footsteps and rustling in the bushes, and before they knew it, a massive figure appeared in front of them. The Sasquatch was over nine feet tall, with brown hair and an ugly face. The couple was terrified, and the husband quickly pulled out his pistol and fired four shots at the creature. The Sasquatch let out a loud roar and ran back into the woods, but not before leaving a trail of blood. The couple quickly got into their truck and sped away, but they couldn't shake the feeling that the Sasquatch was still following them. Sure enough, as they drove down a dirt path, the creature appeared again, this time just a few feet away from the truck. The husband fired two more shots, but the Sasquatch didn't seem to be affected. In total, the husband fired 12 shots at the Sasquatch, hitting it multiple times. Eventually, the creature started to walk away with a limp, leaving the couple shaken but unharmed. The wife was so traumatized by the encounter that she started hallucinating and had a stroke just two days later. The husband, meanwhile, became obsessed with the idea of Sasquatch and started researching the creature's behavior and habits. The video, which was posted on the YouTube channel Dixie Cryptid, has been met with a mix of skepticism and excitement in the Bigfoot community. While some believe the story is too fantastical to be true, others see it as a fascinating firsthand account of an encounter with the elusive creature. Regardless of whether or not the story is true, it's a thrilling reminder of the mystery and allure that surrounds Sasquatch. As Bigfoot believers, we're always excited to hear new stories and accounts of possible encounters, and this one is certainly no exception.
