Bigfoot Researcher's Personal Encounter & Sasquatch Stone Tool Theory

Title: A Riveting Tale of Sasquatch Encounters and Mysterious Artifacts Ray Harwood, a well-known name in the Bigfoot research community, has shared another fascinating account of his experiences with the elusive creature. Ray is the publisher of the Bigfoot Quest magazine, the Bigfoot Mystery magazine, the Skunk Ape magazine, the Skunk Ape comic book, and Tom Seward's Native American Sasquatch Island magazine. His passion for uncovering the truth about Sasquatch has led him to some extraordinary discoveries. During his time in the army, stationed at Fort Knox, Kentucky in 1989, Ray heard rumors of a guard's encounter with a family of Sasquatch. The female was reportedly trapped, and the male charged at the guards when they approached. The guards, in self-defense, shot the creature. Ray didn't witness this encounter himself, but the story stayed with him. Years later, while on vacation at Yosemite National Park in California, Ray had a personal encounter with Sasquatch. He and his two sons were exploring a little canyon near the View Lodge when they stumbled upon Bedrock mortars, used by the Mono Indians for grinding seeds and nuts. One of the mortars had been cleaned out and a pestle placed inside. Ray noticed scat that looked like bear scat, but upon further examination, he discovered large human-like footprints. The footprints were not perfect, like the ones often seen in casts, but each one had its unique anatomy, indicating that the creature was bipedal and running. Ray took a video of the prints and cast them in cement, although they later fell apart. This experience rekindled Ray's interest in Sasquatch. Ray's background in physical anthropology, geology, and lithic technology proved useful when he moved to northern Idaho after retirement. While deer hunting, he found more Sasquatch footprints. However, the soil in the area made casting the prints impossible. Later, he discovered an elk butcher site with a circular, disc-shaped Flint artifact inside the ribcage. The artifact showed signs of deliberate, sequential flaking, indicating that it was a man-made tool. Ray contacted Dr. Jeff Meldrum at Idaho University and Cliff Barackman from Finding Bigfoot to share his findings. Both were skeptical, but Ray's experiences and evidence suggest the possibility that Sasquatch may be a hominid capable of making and using crude stone tools. Ray Harwood's accounts provide captivating insights into the world of Sasquatch research. His experiences serve as a reminder that the mystery of Sasquatch continues to unfold, and there is always more to discover.
