Teenagers Encounter Mysterious River Creature in Fresno, California

A chilling tale of a close encounter with a mysterious creature has recently surfaced on YouTube, and I couldn't help but delve into the details of this fascinating story. The video, posted by the YouTube channel Base Camp Chris, features three teenagers who went fishing on the San Joaquin River in California and had a harrowing experience with something in the water. The group of friends, Stephen, Bradley, and Kellen, decided to go night fishing for catfish on the San Joaquin River in June 1991. They had heard that catfish were more active at night, so they chose a bridge as their fishing spot. As they were casting their lines and talking about their summer plans, they heard a commotion in the sparse forest to the south of them. A coyote appeared on the bridge and seemed to be afraid of something behind it. The coyote continued north and disappeared into the night, glancing at the fishermen as it went. Shortly after the coyote incident, the group heard a loud splash downstream, as if something big had dived into the river. They assumed it was an animal, but then they heard another splash upstream, followed by a third splash that sounded like a rock being thrown. They looked upstream and saw a large shadowy figure in waist-deep water, throwing boulders towards the bridge. The figure was massive, and the friends realized it was not human. Terrified, they ran through a field and into the forest, not knowing if the creature was chasing them. They eventually made it to their car and drove away, shaken by the experience. The next morning, they told their friend Jay about the encounter, and he suggested they go back to the bridge to investigate. They found possible footprints in the sand and estimated that the creature was between 8.5 and 9 feet tall. This story is a chilling reminder of the mysterious and elusive nature of Bigfoot. While the video doesn't provide definitive proof of the creature's existence, it certainly adds to the intrigue and fascination surrounding it. I encourage all Squatchable readers to watch the video and share their thoughts on this fascinating encounter.
