They thought some might be interested. 
The following story is true it happen to me....and the second story happen to my friend....we are both "believers" in the reality of Big Foot.
I was up on Vancouver Island way up at the Northern end of it....Anywhoooo.......I was with a friend we were having lunch near our car.....not far from the river. My friend went off to do his business and all of a sudden I got this real "creepy feeling" and the hair on the back of my neck went up.
Whoa...something was watching me from across the river. The feeling of fear and danger was so overwhelming I almost threw up....and then my inner "warning signals" went off like "rockets" and my mind was screaming over and over ..."Get out of here, now!" I headed back to the car and yelled at my friend, "We need to get the heck out of here right now! Run for the car! We got in the car and tore out of there dirt flying everywhere from the tires. I told my friend keep going till I tell you to stop! We were a good five to ten miles away before I told him to slow down.....I was so shook up and my friend knew I was really frightened by something. I said to my friend, "Look I have gone hunting with my folks and brothers....seen deer and bears. I even walk up on one with my Mom when we split up from my Dad and brothers to flush out some deer....this big ol bear was eating berries so we step back and made a wide berth and went around him. I have heard bears snort and grunt but I was not frightened of them....respected them but not frightened.
Whatever was standing across the river was not a man, bear, or deer. I felt that it was big and tall I was looking high. I don't know what it was....but I have never been that terrified....I believe it would have harms us....more than likely killed us....that was the impression I was getting from it's presense. Years later I read a story about Big Foot sightings up on the Northern end of Vancouver Island! I later reminded my friend and told him do you remember our trip to Vancouver.....and our mad dash from that forest! And I showed him the article. He was surprised.
I have a friend that saw Big Foot up close and personal in 1963 up near Index, Washington. She was 13. She went about 50 feet from the campsite down to the creek and was standing on a knoll looking at the creek and all around the area when she smelt something putrid and sulfury. She look up and saw across the creek from her what she thought was a man in a bear suit at first. Then she thought...no, that's a man in a gorilla suit....then she thougth no, that's not a man in any suit. What the heck is it? Then sheer terror stuck her heart. She said when she looked into it's eyes which were dark brown it had a very mean-looking stare she said, as if I was it's "lunch". She said she will never forget the look in it's eyes. She said it reminded her of the movie The Edge where the bear the man make eye contact. She said she ran back to the campsite screaming and babbling and pointing. There were three families camping together so they all went to investigate what had frightened her so much. She showed them where she was standing and where it was standing across the creek. She said it had to be 8 or 9 feet tall...long dark brown hair with a tinge of red to it. They found huge foot prints....no camera or anything to preserve them. But the creature had crossed the creek to her side and you could see one clear foot print and a half a foot print that was part in the sand and part in the watery mud. The father found a few strands of hair on a branch and put it in his pocket.
They all went back to the camp site and had dinner and it was getting real dark now. It is so dark in the wood up here....you feel like you are on another planet. As they were cleaning up the camp they began to hear strange sounds....snorting and then a howl that started real low and went into a very high pitch of a scream....it was like nothing they had ever heard before and one the fellows was a hunter....hunted big bears and cougers it was nothing like he had ever heard before either. They had no guns or weapons except for a small axe for firewood. This would be like using a bee-bee gun to bring down a bull elephant. Being that only one in the group had a metal trailer.....all the other friends who had brought tents climbed into the trailer....the screams became louder and louder and closer and closer almost ear piercing sounds...several had to cover their ears...others covered their ears just because they coudn't stand to hear it scream for it was frightening. She really thought it was going to kill them all. They all were on the floor of the trailer frightened almost to death. The creature was storming around out side they could hear bushed and trees being pulled up and thrown around....they heard a lound cracking sound and a very loud crash it was the National Forest Park's wooden picnic table being ripped up out of the cement blocks and thrown into the woods. My friend said, no one dared to look out the window even though the blinds were pulled. The fear was so overwhelmig. The next morning they came out after they felt it had gone away. It was like a tornado had hit the camp site. Stuff everywhere. They gathered their stuff and belongs that they could find and jumped into their cars and trailer and drove out of the campsite like they were caught on fire. Coming up the road were two forest rangers in a truck. They stopped long enough to tell them that they did not destroy the campsite....that some creature came into the campsite and did all the damage. The rangers just smiled and said it was a bear. The guy that was the hunter said, "It was not a bear....I've hunted them! This was some kind of creature....then one of the rangers looked at the other one and said, "Aw...it's come back!" Her father yelled at them what do you mean "it's come back." They told them that this creature had been there before, but they thought he was gone for good. It had not been around for awhile." Then her father said, "You need to warn or post signs of warnings of this creature." And they looked at him and said, "who's going to believe it?"
Back home safe in Seattle. Washington my friend's father took the hair sample in to the University of Washington to a friend of his to have it analyzed. The results came back....was not human....it was biped but was not a gorilla, chimpanzee or orangutan... orgin unknown. Some how the hairs mysteriously disappeared.
My friend who saw it, and the three familes who heard it and saw the foot prints believe it was a real creature.
We have a friend who is an "old logger".....been around here for years and years logging. He said the Big Foot comes and move some of thier equipment and stuff around, and pees on thier equipment. They are all "hunters" and they have never smelled anything like it before. He said usually you smell them before you see them.....but they are only glimps of them most the time. He said we don't bother them....they don't seem to bother us too much.... we let them be.
Got more stories of people who saw them.....and 99% of the time....they are terrified. They do not look at you like "Harry" of "Harry and the Hendersons".
Do you want to share your stories.......??? I like to hear them.
to conceal itself? Wouldn't that in itself set it appart from your typical "wild" predator.
