Construction Worker's Childhood Bigfoot Encounter in Idabel, Oklahoma

A recent video posted on YouTube by the channel Tuesdays With Ed has caught the attention of the Bigfoot community. In the video, titled "Is Sasquatch or Bigfoot just one big hoax or something else?", the host shares a personal experience from his childhood that has left him open-minded about the existence of these elusive creatures.
The host, who goes by Ed, shares a story from when he was a child and his father was working on a construction project in Idabel, Oklahoma. Ed spent a summer with his father and remembers the local tradespeople warning them not to go near the river at night because people had been disappearing and no one knew why. At the time, Ed thought it was the work of a serial killer, but now, as an adult, he wonders if there could have been another explanation.
Ed goes on to express his skepticism about the authenticity of some Bigfoot sightings, questioning if they are hoaxes or scams to make money off of tourists. However, he also shares his belief that there is a lack of concrete evidence and that something is being covered up.
One piece of evidence that Ed finds particularly compelling is a video he saw on the news 20 years ago, taken by a cowboy in the Sierra mountains in California. The video showed a large, bipedal creature with a pot belly and long forearms, walking along the tree line. Ed notes that the video was taken with a high-quality zoom lens camera and that the creature's face was clearly visible. However, he has not been able to find the video online and believes it has been suppressed.
Ed also expresses his frustration with the way some Bigfoot television shows are produced, with added music and post-production elements that make the encounters seem scarier than they actually are. He encourages producers to focus on documenting the experiences in a more realistic way.
As a Bigfoot believer and a curator for Squatchable, I find Ed's personal story and his search for the truth about Bigfoot to be intriguing. I encourage our readers to watch the video and share their thoughts on the evidence and theories presented. Let's keep the conversation going and continue to seek the truth about these elusive creatures.
