A thrilling first-hand account of a possible Bigfoot encounter has been shared on the YouTube channel, Bigfoot Society. The witness, a 71-year-old lifelong resident of Washington state, describes his experience in 1967 when he and his friends went camping in North Bend, Washington.
During a fishing trip, the witness and his friends heard a loud, earsplitting growl that sounded like it was right in front of them. As they looked around, they saw a big brown arm sweep a salmonberry bush to the side, revealing a head peeking up over the top of the stump. After a few seconds, the creature stood up to its full height, revealing a 9-foot tall, hair-covered body. The witness described it as a "monstrous, giant bodybuilder-looking thing."
The group of friends was in shock and after a few moments, one of them jumped up and waved his arms, causing the creature to turn and walk away into the trees. The witness and his friends quickly gathered their things and left the area, shaken by the experience.
Years later, the witness's mother found an article about a presentation on Sasquatch at a local library. The witness attended the presentation and learned about John Green, a well-known Bigfoot researcher. He wrote to Green and shared his story, which led to a meeting with Green and the opportunity to watch the Patterson-Gimlin film. The witness was hooked and became a firm believer in Bigfoot.
This is an exciting and intriguing account of a possible Bigfoot encounter. The witness's detailed description of the creature and the reactions of him and his friends add credibility to the story. I encourage our readers to watch the video and decide for themselves if they believe the witness's account.
