Hey Squatchable fans! We've got a chilling video for you today that was posted on the Rocky Mountain Sasquatch YouTube channel. The video takes us to a Bigfoot sighting location near Clear Creek Camp, where a man named Michael Nelson shares his two encounters with Bigfoot when he was a young boy.
Michael, who was raised on a ranch in southwest Wyoming, recounts his first sighting when he was around 9 or 10 years old. He was camped on Clear Creek with his family when he looked up and saw the largest dark black eyes he had ever seen, less than 12 inches away from this thing's face. He describes the creature's face as dark skinned, not black, but grayish black, with not much hair on his face. Michael says he wasn't frightened and slowly got up and followed the creature, who was enormous and covered in dark black looking hair.
Michael's second encounter happened a few months later when they were camping near LeBarge Creek at the LeBarge Meadows. This time, they were sleeping outside and Michael woke up in the middle of the night to see a large man-like figure leaning over looking at his sister next to him. Michael didn't move, say anything, or breathe. He just stared out from under his sleeping bag cover. The creature was again huge and Michael could hear others walking around nearby but didn't see them. He heard it taking deep breaths and no other sounds. It slowly stood up on its two legs and walked away.
Michael didn't tell anyone about this encounter until he was an adult. He says he didn't hear or think about Bigfoot or Sasquatch until he saw the Patterson film and then the frozen body of the monster in the freezer that came through town. He remembers he was around 16 when that show came through.
