Miner's Encounter with a Two-Footed Creature Near Yosemite

Jerry Lancaster, a man with a diverse background as a Merchant Marine, firefighter, gold miner, professional chef, and electrician, shares his chilling encounter with something he can't explain. While mining for gold in Northern California in 1992, Jerry had an experience that left him terrified and unable to move. In the video posted on the YouTube channel Bigfoot Society, Jerry recounts his story of being woken up in the middle of the night by a large creature walking around his tent. The creature's footsteps were heavy and deliberate, and Jerry was certain it was much larger than him. He was lying there with a pistol, ready to defend himself if the creature tried to enter his tent. Jerry's initial thought was that it was a claim jumper, but as the creature walked away, it headed towards the back side of Yosemite National Park, not back towards civilization. This detail confused Jerry, as he couldn't understand why anyone would go deeper into the wilderness instead of towards help. The encounter left Jerry shaken and confused, and he quickly packed up and left the area the next morning. It wasn't until years later, during the pandemic, that Jerry started listening to the Sasquatch Chronicles podcast and heard a story that sounded eerily similar to his own. This prompted him to start researching Bigfoot and looking at the phenomenon from a skeptical point of view. Jerry's story is a fascinating account of a possible Bigfoot encounter, and it's a reminder that there are still many mysteries in the world that we may never fully understand.
