A chilling encounter in the Redwoods
-----------------------------------
Have you ever had a heart-stopping experience while out in the wilderness? A couple from New York did, and it’s an experience they’ll never forget.
While on a business trip to San Francisco, Brenda and Steve decided to take some extra time to explore the beautiful sights of Northern California. They stayed at the Redwood River Resort and Pub, located just south of Jedediah Smith Redwoods State Park. The resort, situated along the Eel River, offers cabins, a restaurant, and even hosts weddings.
One morning, the couple set out for a hike in the Jedediah Smith Redwoods. As they were passing a big curve in the trail, they noticed a break in the trees with a view of a meadow below. Curious, they hiked about 50 yards off the trail towards this blue break in the trees.
Once they reached the overlook, Steve started scanning the meadow with Brenda’s new Pentax binoculars. He paused and told Brenda to take a look. She saw a dark shape on two feet near the tree line, and as she focused in more, she realized it was a Bigfoot, reaching up and effortlessly pulling bark off a tree.
Brenda and Steve watched in awe as the Bigfoot moved back and forth, flailing its arms, and letting out a loud howl. It then dropped to all fours and started galloping across the meadow towards them. The couple was filled with fear and ran back to the trail, hearing the brush breaking behind them as the Bigfoot followed.
Once they reached the trail, they started jogging back to the trailhead, relieved to hear the sound of the Bigfoot fading away. They got in their car and drove back to their cabin, shaken but grateful to be safe.
From that day forward, Brenda and Steve have had a serious interest in learning more about Bigfoot. They’ve read books, watched documentaries, and even attended a convention. While they’re fascinated by the subject, they both agree that they never want to have an encounter like that again.
You can watch the full video of their encounter on the Base Camp Chris YouTube channel. It’s a chilling reminder of the power and mystery of the wilderness.
