In the world of Bigfoot sightings and encounters, there are those that leave a lasting impression. The following account, submitted to the YouTube channel Sasquatch Theory, is one such encounter. The witness, a man named Charles, shares his harrowing experience of coming face-to-face with a Red-Haired Sasquatch during a fishing trip in 1974. Charles, a man of Native American and German heritage, had always enjoyed the great outdoors. His love for nature led him to a career in the oil fields and later as a United States Postal Service worker. However, his passion for the outdoors took a dark turn during a fishing trip to Beavers Bend State Park in southeast Oklahoma. The day began like any other, with Charles casting his line into the Mountain Fork River. But as the sun rose, so did an unexpected encounter. A creature, hidden behind him, snared Charles' lure in its chest fur. As Charles turned to investigate, he found himself staring at a Red-Haired Sasquatch, a towering figure of 11 to 12 feet tall and between 1200 to 1300 pounds. The creature's features were as intimidating as its size. Its eyes were as big as a Coke can and red, its head conical, and its skin a dark, leathery brown. Charles, frozen in fear, could only muster an apology before losing consciousness. When Charles awoke, he discovered his tackle box smashed, his fishing rod broken, and his catch stolen. Two massive footprints, measuring 22.5 inches long and 10 inches across the ball of the foot, were left behind. Charles, shaken and drained, ended his fishing trip early and returned home. The encounter left Charles with PTSD and night terrors, but he eventually found solace in sharing his story. His account serves as a reminder of the mysterious and powerful presence that may lurk in the shadows of our outdoor adventures. In other news, did you know that Red-Haired Sasquatches are a rare but documented phenomenon? Their unique coloring is thought to be the result of a genetic mutation, similar to red-haired humans. This mutation, known as MC1R, affects the production of melanin, leading to the distinctive red hair and pale skin.
