Certified Arborist Discovers Bigfoot Inside Oregon Spruce Tree Hollow

There's a video making the rounds that every serious researcher needs to see. A certified arborist with over two decades of experience in old growth assessment claims to have had a 40-minute encounter with a Sasquatch living inside an ancient Sitka spruce tree in the Oregon coast range, and the details are absolutely extraordinary. The encounter reportedly took place on October 3rd, 2020, during a routine conservation easement evaluation. The witness, who has spent 26 years assessing old growth trees and has been inside more large hollow trees than most people will ever see, was evaluating candidate trees on a private timber parcel for a land trust. The third tree on the list was a massive Sitka spruce with an 11-foot diameter at breast height and a canopy reaching approximately 200 feet. The kind of tree that makes you feel small just standing next to it. What happened next is what makes this account so compelling. The arborist approached the cavity opening, which measured roughly 24 inches wide and 14 inches tall, and put his head through, expecting the familiar cathedral-like interior of an old growth hollow. Instead, he found himself face to face with something approximately 18 inches away. The witness describes the figure as approximately 8 feet tall, compressed slightly by the hollow's vertical limits into a forward-bowed posture, with dark reddish-brown coloring that matched the amber-tinged darkness of the hollow's interior. But the detail that stayed with him, the one he keeps coming back to, was the hands. They were pressed flat against the wood of the hollow's interior wall, palms down, in what he instinctively recognized as the posture of someone resting against a familiar surface. Not gripping. Resting. Comfortable. Here's where this account diverges from typical wildlife encounters and enters territory that should make every Sasquatch researcher pay attention. The creature showed no fear. None. The witness emphasizes this repeatedly throughout his account because, as he points out, a being that large, discovered in a space that small by a creature of his size, should have reacted. Bears escalate. Mountain lions freeze or bolt. Large owls do whatever large owls do when startled. What this witness describes is something entirely different. The Sasquatch assessed him, concluded he posed no meaningful threat, and returned its attention to whatever it had been doing before the interruption. That behavior, the settled assessment followed by a return to rest, is something the witness says he has never seen from a non-human animal in 26 years of working in confined spaces with wildlife. It reads more like what a person resting in a room would do when someone opens the door, looks in, and then leaves them alone. Acknowledged. Assessed. Returned to irrelevance. The 40-minute duration of this encounter is staggering. The witness moved several times at the cavity opening, spoke quietly in the low, even tone he uses with wildlife in close proximity, and each movement was tracked by those eyes without any other response. The Sasquatch even tracked the movement of his mouth when he spoke, noting the behavior without having a reference for its significance. For researchers familiar with Sasquatch behavior patterns, this account aligns with several recurring themes in witness testimony. The lack of fear in close encounters with experienced outdoorsmen. The settled, habitual quality of the creature's presence in a specific location. The treatment of humans as non-threatening background rather than predators to be avoided. And perhaps most importantly, the suggestion that this particular tree wasn't just shelter, it was home. The witness notes that the interior of the hollow showed signs of use consistent with habitual occupation, though the discussion cuts off before he fully describes what he observed. That detail alone, the physical evidence of long-term habitation inside an ancient tree, could be significant for anyone studying habitat patterns. This is the kind of firsthand account that doesn't come along often. A credentialed professional with no apparent reason to fabricate, describing an encounter that lasted long enough to rule out a quick glimpse and a misinterpretation. The video is worth every minute of your time, and the witness's measured, careful description of the encounter speaks to someone who understands exactly how extraordinary what he experienced actually was. Watch the full account and see if the details match up with what you've heard from other witnesses in the Pacific Northwest. The Oregon coast range has long been considered prime Sasquatch habitat, and encounters in old growth forest settings are well-documented in the literature. This one just happens to come from someone whose profession put him in a position most people will never be in, inside the hollow of one of the largest trees on the parcel, face to face with something that had clearly been there long before he arrived.
