Bigfoot Stories/Sightings

[Florida Bullfrog]

Yes!!! Exactly!
I definitely think you should check out Haunted Cosmos, then. They are great. There is also a podcast called Cultish and they recently released a series on UFOs.

Yep!

I’ve listened to part 1 of their bigfoot episode and listening to part 2 now. Very much enjoying it, thanks for the recommendation.

Absolutely! I've only just started part 1.

Absolutely! I've only just started part 1.

I listened to those guys and subscribed. They seem like they’re well grounded Biblically.

My only question about their analysis was as it relates to Part 2 and how one vets the credibility of alleged witnesses who make the more supernatural claims. Some of the more credible “bigfoot is an animal” witnesses can have their full identities verified and can be interviewed face to face, while the “bigfoot is spiritual” people are usually telling their stories through a couple of layers of hearsay. I noticed that the last account they gave from “Tigerlilly’s” blog was double hearsay and that bigfoot article was the only blog post on that entire blog. So how do we know someone didn’t make up that story as a work of fiction and inserted some Christian jingo and Bible verses? Maybe none of that ever happened. How do we know if we can’t make a credibility determination of the teller of the story?

That being said, I can lend some tidbits those fellows may not be aware of. First, Ron Morehead, the guy who recorded the “Sierra Sounds” in the 70s that they opened with in part one actually had a lot of reported “orb” encounters from that same camp site. He also believes bigfoots are nephilim or otherwise demonic and not apes. It should be noted him or his friends never actually saw any bigfoots to my knowledge over the years. They simply presume the sounds and orbs are bigfoot related.

Second, the Ape Canyon incident recounted in Part 1 actually has a spiritual twist. Late in life, Beck the prospector that lead the party that was allegedly attacked, declared he was secretly a psychic and the reason the encounter at Ape Canyon happened is because of his abilities. So again, there’s a possible demonic connection to an incident cited as evidence for a flesh and blood bigfoot.

Third, one of the few “bigfoot is supernatural” proponents who has claimed first hand encounters and can be vetted is Les Stroud, aka Survivorman. He is a strong believer in bigfoot and believes they communicate telepathically and can materialize and dematerialize at will. He had 2 possible bigfoot encounters in the far north, but he didn’t actually see the creature directly and the accounts sound very much like that if he did have a close encounter with a bigfoot, it was definitely an animal.

But later in life he filmed a series where he traveled the world experiencing spiritual practices of varies native cultures. He would participate in rituals and offer himself up to be possessed by spirits if they actually existed. He got a bit weird after that. At the end of that journey he claims Mother Earth appeared to him in a ritual and tasked him with preaching to mankind a return to nature.

Then, he started claiming encounters with bigfoot where the beings would speak to his mind, which he found frightening, and he would also experience other scary things like an invisible being sitting on his chest at night in a tent or glowing orbs. A lot of the same things the stories in Part 2 of that podcast discuss.

Taking his accounts at face value, that Les isn’t lying and he isn’t mentally ill, I would say he opened himself up to demonic contact and it is manifesting in encounters he interprets as bigfoot. That may be true of many people who experience these things in the woods. The accounts read like classic poltergeist hauntings, except they’re happening in the woods and not a home. Very few seem to involve a clear sighting of an ape man, just large figures in the dark that do spooky things.

From listening to some stuff on UFOs, I think a lot of people who have experienced the supernatural side of these things tend to be so creeped out they want to hide their identity. That said, I haven't listened to part 2 just yet, and I do understand your point.

Woah! I didn't know about the orbs. And yeah, I mean, a lot of people who report those sounds can't prove they're bigfoot.

Creepy. That's my biggest caution to anybody, even Christians that get into this is that you can get so deep you start trying to contact these things. NOT a good plan!

My BIL loves Survivorman! He's told me a lot about those.

I'm sure most people on here have seen this, but I thought I'd post it in case someone hasn't.

I think bigfoot and ufo's are only connected because ufo's study them, not because they are aliens.

I would not bring this up, but someone mentioned orbs, and I get to post my orb pics, from during a thunderstorm, that became a large firestorm. The orb floated into lens as I was taking a pic of dark clouds, then I got mad, till I realized what I took a pic of, then I took a second pic quick before it disappeared. (also note the white flecks in the air in the first pic...) it drifted towards the bench in the background and got smaller tighter and spun faster...

To get an Idea of how fast it was going, I took one pic, then another, you can see the distance it covered.

Cat hiding under bench...the orb may have spun faster getting energy from the cat...
Below is close up of both pics

I have posted these pics before, but they are fun to see.
Same bench in the winter below.

I don't believe they are aliens, either. I personally think they are supernatural entities, basically, demons.

If they aren't aliens, what do you believe they are?

 

[gimmie birdies]

oh yes.
