Hey there, fellow Bigfoot enthusiasts! I've got an exciting find for you today. I stumbled upon a YouTube video from the channel "From The Shadows" titled "Flashback: A Former Army Ranger's Bigfoot Encounter (From the Archive)". In this video, a former Army Ranger shares his incredible encounter with a Bigfoot while stationed at Fort Poke, Louisiana in the 1970s. What makes this story even more intriguing is that the Ranger, Steve, admits he never believed in the existence of Bigfoot before this experience. Steve recounts how he would regularly visit his girlfriend's farm in Arkansas on weekends, which was located deep in the woods. One Friday night, after a delicious home-cooked meal, they were all gathered in the den watching TV when Steve's girlfriend's grandmother suddenly screamed. Steve describes the scene that unfolded as terrifying and unforgettable. He shares details about the creature's appearance, behavior, and the strange noises it made. The Ranger's account is filled with chilling details that will send shivers down your spine. If you're a Bigfoot believer like me, you won't want to miss this video. It's a must-watch for anyone interested in the mysterious world of Bigfoot. You can find the video on the "From The Shadows" YouTube channel.
