SO EP:614 The Woods Went Wild!

My guest tonight comes to us from my home state of North Carolina. Chris was a staunch skeptic when it came to Bigfoot, but he has had some encounters near the Uwharrie National Forest that may have changed his mind! Check out his email below.

First of all, Love the show! You do a bang up job! So, I’ve had 3 encounters with what I believe have been Sasquatch in central NC. It wasn’t until the 3rd one happened that I started putting pieces together. Just a little history about myself. I have lived around the Uwharrie National Forest 95% of my life. I’ve always heard stories of people seeing Bigfoot type creatures or hearing screams, whoops and so forth. But, being I have always enjoyed the outdoors hunting, fishing and gold panning - I never believed in any of this. Finding Bigfoot came and did a show in the Uwharries and had their “town hall meeting” at the fire station that I volunteered at. I was sick at the time and couldn’t go to the meeting but I wanted to go hear these “crazy peoples” stories and see what it was all about. At the next fire meeting all the firemen where laughing and joking about “these people” and their outlandish stories. So to say I was a skeptic was an understatement. Fast forward a few years. I talked with a guy at church who knew I was into gold panning and wanted me to come down and check his creek to see if it had any gold. I agreed and said I wasn’t sure when I could come but I would first free second I had. I ended up getting off work around lunch time one day and decided to go down and check it out. They weren’t home so I parked at the gate and walked in to the property about 200 yards or so. To give you an idea of the landscape as you walk down an old logging road there is a mountain immediately to my right that would be tough to walk up and had a power line running up and over the mountain top. To my left is about 20ft of rough brush lining the creek. The creek banks are about 4ft tall with the creek running in the bottom. So as I’m walking I’m trying to find a clear spot to get down to the creek. Knowing this area is swarming with Timber Rattlers I’m taking my time and watching my steps carefully. So at about the 200yrd area I find a nice, clear, pretty level spot to climb into the creek. In the creek in a huge flat rock and I decide to use it as a work station to put my backpack and stuff on to keep them dry. So I’m here about 2 hrs and decide to stop and take a break. I’m standing there drinking some water and watching leeches swim around my rubber boots. All of a sudden something came flying through the tree tops. My first thought is “I’ve never heard a bird flying through the tree tops hitting limbs and leaves like that!” My second thought was maybe it was acorns falling? But I’m surrounded by pines! And it was moving from left to right and not straight down! So as I’m standing there scratching my head I hear something else! This time I track it with my eyes and see a rock about the size of a Jr sized football fly over my head, over the creek and land in the brush on the other side with a thud! I’m standing there with my mouth agape! I put my hand on my 9mm and say out loud “You stay over there and I’ll stay over here!” I pack my stuff up and head for my truck! As I’m walking out I feel like I’m being watched! So I have my head on a swivel! At the end of the logging road where I parked is what was used as the logging deck, so it’s kind of open. The tree line felt like a tidal wave that was going to engulf me if I didn’t get away! I threw my stuff in the bed of my truck and hauled ass! When I got to the next stop sign I had to take a minute and get myself together! I was shook! I’ve got more detail about the aftermath and 2 more encounters while hunting and fishing if you are interested.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sasquatch-odyssey--4839697/support.

Support The Showhttps://www.patreon.com/paranormalworldproductionsAll The Socials And Stuff/Contact Brianhttps://linktr.ee/ParanormalWorldProductionsFollow The Show On Instagram https://www.instagram.com/sasquatchodyssey/Jeremy writes.....I would like to get my stories out there, I believe that someone else out there may have had an exact or similar experience to one of mine and the fact that people can tune in from all across the world and connect the dots is special. To start I never used to believe in anything of the unknown or mysterious category. For a good portion of my life I held a very materialistic world view. I grew up in Colorado Springs and in my early adult life moved back to my birthplace in Cheyenne Wyoming. I had a really strong spiritual awakening around age 24 involving the ancient teachings of cultures from across the world and all periods of time. I believe this led to my mind opening to a lot of other topics. My first strange encounter in the woods was in Rocky Mountain national park with an ex girlfriend. We prepped for a summit climb on flattop mountain trail so we bought headlamps and rented a room the night prior to the morning of the hike. We planned for a 4am start time so we could make time for the long trail as well as being the first people out on the trail and avoiding all the parking from other visitors. When we were on the trail while it was still dark I heard small things in the brush to the left and right of us but just dismissed it as critters. I mentioned the sounds to her but more as a joke. I’m like a goat when I get on trails I have a tendency to move ahead of my partner quickly because I like to keep a good pace. At some point something in me or an inner voice or something demanded that I stop and let my ex catch up and we would hold hands and stay close until the sun appeared. We completed the summit and after getting back to the hotel room my ex told me that something had tugged on her hair twice at the start of the hike.My second encounter was with my friend, that night consisted of so much sightings in the sky, strange lights. Someone using a spotlight looking at all the same sightings we were noticing in the sky. Which peaked our interest and we went out further out of town to lower light pollution areas and on our way back home we both saw what looked like a small human like creature at the most it was 5 feet tall. It stood around the height of the light reflectors off the sides of roads. My headlights actually reflected off of his head. It's head was a metallic silver which is probably the only thing that caught my attention in the first place. Later that night we went on foot to investigate where the spotlight was coming from, we had to cross private property to get there and what we saw over the hill we hiked up was very interesting to say the least.My third encounter was quite recent in June of 2021 out in Medicine Bow Wyoming. My ex girlfriend and I didnt time a 6 mile loop trail good enough and probably during our last mile or two back to my truck it got really dark outside, where you can't even see but a few feet out into the woods. The part of the trail we were on was really narrow but we were standing side by side holding hands and just to the left of us maybe five feet into the woods we heard two loud wood creaking sounds. Like the bending of wood followed by a loud snap. It was so scary to me that I pulled out my gun and off of safety, I think she noticed how actually scared I was of this situation and she panicked right along with me. I said to her that sound is not normal, we need to go, like we need to run right now and we sprinted as fast as we could until we got to a separate parking lot aside from the one we were parked out. We actually decided to go and walk off of the highway with speeding traffic instead of continue on the trail and finish up the last mile or so in the woods.Hopefully this isn't too long to read. The stories are filled in with a lot more details when they are actually told in real time, some details are highly significant and others just hold some basic meaning.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sasquatch-odyssey--4839697/support.
