Mike Wooley, a deer hunter from Quitman, Louisiana, had an unforgettable encounter back in December 1981. While sitting in his deer stand, he found himself face to face with a creature he initially thought was a man in a suit. However, as he looked closer, he realized it was something far more extraordinary. The creature, standing at around seven to eight feet tall, was covered in black, hairy fur like a gorilla. Mike knew it couldn't be a gorilla, as there was no circus in town, and he was certain that no gorillas were roaming freely in the area. As Mike observed the creature, he noticed that it had a very human-like face, with eyelashes, eyes, teeth, and a jaw structure similar to ours. The face was light brown, as if it had a dark suntan. Mike was taken aback by how human-like the creature appeared, which made him hesitant to pull the trigger when he had the chance. The creature let out a roar, and a loud whistle came from about a hundred yards away. It was a signal, and soon after, another creature appeared. Mike realized he was in grave danger and quickly jumped off his stand, running towards his truck. As he ran, he heard the creature running through the woods, bulldozing brush down. Mike was sure that he was the one who was going to lose this encounter. When he reached his truck, he fired a warning shot, which hit a tree and blew bark in front of the creature's face. It was a close call, and Mike was lucky to escape unharmed. This encounter is a fascinating reminder of the mysteries that still exist in our world. While we know a lot about Bigfoot or Sasquatch, there is still much to learn. Did you know that the term "Sasquatch" comes from the Halkomelem word "sasq'ets," which means "wild man"? It is a name given to this elusive creature by the indigenous peoples of the Pacific Northwest. If you're interested in learning more about Bigfoot or Sasquatch, be sure to check out the video below.
