In a recent video from the Bigfoot Society YouTube channel, hosts Steve Sumpter and Tracy Brooks share their personal encounters with Bigfoot in California and Oregon. Steve's first encounter occurred in 1978, when he was 18 years old and camping in Truckee, California with his little brother and a friend. After shooting off bottle rockets, they heard a loud, angry scream and the sound of a tree shaking. Steve was left outside, huddled by the campfire, as he heard the creature pacing around the meadow and breaking branches.
The next day, Steve and his friends drove back home and told their parents about their experience, but they didn't believe them. Steve was left with a lasting interest in Bigfoot and its behavior.
Tracy's encounter occurred in Oregon, where she lives. She was taking her dog for a walk with a friend when they came across a strange X-shaped structure made of woven tree branches. Tracy took pictures of the structure and, when she looked at them later, noticed a figure watching them in the background. She also saw a 7-foot-tall creature with red-orange hair near her gate the next day.
Tracy's granddaughter also had a sighting of a Sasquatch near their home. They saw a creature peeking around a tree at them and quickly left the area.
These personal encounters add to the growing body of evidence supporting the existence of Bigfoot. The hosts' detailed descriptions and emotions during their retelling make for a compelling video.
