A chilling video recently surfaced on YouTube, shared by the Dixie Cryptid channel, that has left Bigfoot enthusiasts and researchers buzzing. The video, titled "Bigfoot Destroys Heavy Equipment," chronicles an eerie encounter that took place in West Virginia in 1965. The video begins with the narrator recounting a summer spent at her grandparents' cabin on the Cheat River. One night, as the rest of the family retired to bed, her mother decided to stay outside and enjoy the quiet. Suddenly, she was startled by a creature putting its paws on her shoulders. Her grandfather grabbed a shotgun, ready to defend, but there was nothing there when he went outside. The narrator admits that she's not sure what it was that touched her mother, but she can't help but wonder if it wasn't a Bigfoot. The encounter left a lasting impression on her, and it's not the only strange event the video discusses. Fast forward to 1965, and we find ourselves in a timber cruiser's shoes in northern California. This timber cruiser's job was to mark huge redwood trees for lumber and store equipment in a landing. One Monday, the crew arrived to find three 55-gallon metal cans of fuel thrown down the hill, a portable shed full of tools overturned, and three D9 CAT tractors, each weighing 54 tons, laid on their side. The crew was baffled, trying to comprehend the strength and number of people it would take to carry out such a feat. The video then moves on to a more recent encounter in Lewis County, Washington, in June 2018. The narrator's son and his family were living in a house on a mountain when they heard a branch snap behind them. They stopped to look but found nothing. However, 100 feet away, something growled from the trees. The narrator, standing next to a tree with a double trunk, saw two black hair-covered legs and tan-colored feet walk past them. They quickly disappeared, and the forest was dead silent. The narrator and her son returned to the house, and they saw a large shape standing on two feet watching them from the trees. The figure was estimated to be 8 feet tall and probably 4 feet wide at the shoulders. It had no neck appearance and had arms hanging down to its sides. The figure left them alone but stayed there for 20 minutes, just watching them. These encounters are just a few examples of the countless reports and sightings of Bigfoot that have been documented over the years. As Bigfoot believers, we encourage our readers to watch the video and share their thoughts. Who knows, maybe this video will provide the evidence we've all been waiting for!
