In late September 2021, Eric Bell had a close encounter with a Bigfoot in the Olympic National Park in Washington state. While setting up camp, he heard a series of guttural growls and decided to investigate. He came across a massive creature, over 7 feet tall, covered in long, dark brown fur. The creature's eyes reflected a primal intelligence, and it watched Eric with a raw, primal instinct. After the encounter, Eric documented everything in his journal, took photos of the area, and noted the creature's huge tracks leading deep into the woods. The psychological toll of the encounter has been significant, with Eric experiencing vivid nightmares and anxiety. He eventually shared his experience with a group of fellow Bigfoot enthusiasts and discovered a similar encounter reported in the same park in 1975.
