# Deer-Carrying Sasquatch Terrifies Logging Crew in North Carolina — And the Audio Evidence Is Real So I just came across a wild interview over on the Bigfoot Society YouTube channel, and honestly, this one gave me chills. Host Jeremiah Byron sat down with a guy named Andrew, whose father happens to be a forester working with logging crews in southeast North Carolina. What Andrew shared isn't just one story — it's a whole pattern of sightings in the same area, all pointing to something big, hairy, and very much not afraid of being seen. ## The Logging Crew Encounter Andrew's dad works closely with logging crews, and one of his most trusted teams was cutting timber near a private lake with surrounding swamps — basically the kind of thick, remote terrain Sasquatch researchers have long pointed to as prime habitat. One crew member was operating a skidder (that's a roughly 9.5-foot-tall piece of logging equipment), another was in the logging truck, and a third was standing outside his service vehicle. Then they heard it — a deer moaning like it was being killed. What walked across the logging road next wasn't a deer, though. It was a 9.5-foot-tall, hair-covered creature carrying the deer under its arm. The men froze. One of them was so shaken up that he refuses to talk about it to this day. He told the story once and that was it — he was terrified. When they finally went to investigate, they found blood on the ground but couldn't locate any tracks. Whatever it was had taken just two steps to cross the entire logging road — a road wider than your average dirt road. That's a stride length that would be impossible for any known animal. The crew refused to log in that area for months afterward. They left. They were that scared. ## Andrew's Own Encounter — With Audio About a month later, Andrew was squirrel hunting in February in the same general area near the swamp. He had his GoPro rolling, not expecting anything. Then he heard it himself — an aggressive howl and growl happening at the same time, followed by tree knocking and banging that lasted around three minutes. He describes the sound as something he couldn't even compare to anything he's heard before. Everything in the woods went dead silent. No birds, no squirrels, nothing moving. He left, got in his truck, and went home. Later, his dad was reviewing GoPro footage from turkey hunting and came across the audio recording. When Andrew played it for some friends who were helping with roofing on the family barn, three grown men froze in fear after hearing it. One of them revealed he'd had the exact same experience while fishing a nearby river with his family — they heard the same sound at dark, the deer around them bolted, and everything went quiet. That family hasn't been back in a year and a half. ## Multiple Witnesses, Same Area Andrew also mentioned that two other neighbors near the logging site reported their own sightings. One saw the creature walking up a dirt road dragging a deer behind it. Another saw it down in the swamp. When one of the loggers heard other people dismissing the story as a joke, he shut it down fast — "You don't think it's real till you see it. I've never seen anything like that before in my life. I literally peed my pants." And yes, that was a grown man admitting that publicly. ## A Second Caller — Michigan Sighting The interview also features another caller, Phil, who shared a sighting from about a year ago at Tomahawk Creek flooding area. He was camping with his kid and brother, hoping to beat the camping season rush because, as he put it, "we know how they like to watch the campers." Sure enough, the next morning around 300 feet from their campfire, a tall, all-black figure was leaning over with one arm wrapped around a tree, watching them. Phil kept it to himself for 10 to 15 minutes, not wanting to freak out his family, and when he looked again, it was gone. His family still doesn't know about it. ## Why This One Matters What makes this interview stand out is the audio evidence. Andrew still has the GoPro recording screen-recorded on his phone and has been showing it to trusted people — and everyone who hears it agrees it's something that "shouldn't be there." He's kept it private, which honestly tracks with how a lot of witnesses behave when they have something genuinely unexplainable. Southeast North Carolina isn't a region you hear about often in Sasquatch reports, but there have been whispers from military personnel stationed at Camp Geiger about activity on the east side of the state. Add in the swampy, hard-to-access terrain around private lakes, and you've got exactly the kind of environment where these creatures are reported to thrive.
