Have you ever had the feeling of being watched while out in the woods? Gabe, a hunter from Northern Indiana and Northern Georgia, knows that feeling all too well. In a recent interview with the YouTube channel Bigfoot Society, Gabe shared his terrifying encounters with what he believes to be Bigfoot. Gabe's experiences began while on a nature trail with his ex-wife and two kids. He had a strong feeling that they were not alone, even though he couldn't see or hear anything out of the ordinary. As they made their way back to their car, they were met with an overpowering smell that Gabe immediately recognized as something not of this world. It wasn't until a few years later, in 2008, that Gabe had his first visual encounter with a Bigfoot. While scouting for deer season, he set up his tree stand near a creek and swamp. As the sun began to rise, Gabe heard something splash in the swamp and make its way towards him. At first, he thought it was a deer, but as he listened closer, he realized that whatever it was, it had hands. Something was thrown at him, and that's when it all clicked for Gabe. The encounter was so unsettling that Gabe moved his tree stand to a different location and has not returned to that area to this day. But his experiences didn't stop there. Gabe has also had encounters in Northern Georgia, where he now resides. One particularly memorable encounter happened while hiking with his girlfriend. They were making their way to a waterfall when his girlfriend began to feel unwell. Gabe heard heavy footfalls behind them and threw an apple behind them to distract whatever was following them. They were able to make their escape, but Gabe can't help but wonder if the apple was taken as an offering. Gabe's experiences serve as a reminder that there is still so much we don't know about the world around us. While some may dismiss his encounters as impossible, others see them as a glimpse into a world that has yet to be fully explored. If you're interested in hearing more about Gabe's encounters, be sure to check out the full interview on the Bigfoot Society YouTube channel. And in the meantime, keep your eyes and ears open while out in the woods – you never know what you might encounter. But before we let you go, we wanted to share an interesting bit of information that we learned from Gabe's interview. Did you know that the smell of a Bigfoot is often described as a mix of rotten eggs and garbage? While this may not be the most pleasant smell to imagine, it's just one more piece of evidence that suggests that Bigfoot is a real creature. So the next time you're out in the woods and you catch a whiff of something unpleasant, don't be so quick to dismiss it as just a skunk or a rotten log. It could be something much more exciting – and terrifying – than that.
