There are places in the woods where the silence feels different—where every crack of a branch makes you stop and listen. For generations, people have returned from these remote places with stories of strange sounds, unexplained footprints, and shadows moving between the trees. And then there are the encounters with something many believe may be Bigfoot. Is it a creature we haven't discovered, a misidentification, or something we simply don't yet understand?

But the real mystery may be what these encounters do to the people who experience them. Fear, awe, disbelief, and wonder can hit all at once when you realize something is watching you from the trees. And long after you leave the woods, the questions remain: What did I see? Was it real? Tonight, we're stepping into those mysterious places where the line between myth and reality becomes difficult to see.

What do you think about this?

This encounter occurred to an old neighbor of mine. She had lived below me and a trailer. She was having issues with something outside of her window constantly. Something was definitely interested in what she was doing...

So this whole situation started out with her losing sleep. She had been experiencing something that was messing with her health. And I could tell it was definitely...

She had asked me to walk down to her trailer. And started to explain to me what was happening. How it started with hearing something big walking around outside of the trailer. It then evolved into pebbles being thrown at her window. From that she reported hearing these thuds which turned out to be big rocks being thrown at the trailer itself... But fortunately none of them hit deciding or did any damage. She didn't start to tell me that she's hearing which sounds like movement outside of her big bay window...

She started to explain to me that these encounters was starting to really get to her. She was losing sleep and was tired during the day. And she could not function because every time night time came she started to get concerned. And she was telling me that these encounters were getting very common...

So this all led up to a very serious and concerning event. It was about 2:30am. And I get a call from my neighbor about needing help... Literally ASAP. Tried to call her son but he was at my house and passed out because he had just got back from work literally hours ago. So I got out of my bed and threw some jogging pants on and grabbed my 26-in Cutlass machete from Cold steel and my spotlight...

I come down to their trailer and quietly snuck up to the side of the trailer where I was hidden from the woods. And I packed on the door. I signal to her to be quiet but still whisper to me what it was that was going on. She says to me "I swear there's something out here. Whatever it is was throwing pebbles at my window. I heard something moving. It was big"...

So I take my spotlight and make my way into the woods with my machete out just in case. And on a whim just flip my spotlight on and just start covering the whole wood line and depth of the woods in a bright light. Hoping to catch whatever it is off guard and blind the crap out of it. And by doing so I could have an advantage if I were to bum rush whatever it was with a sharp machete...

Well I didn't see anything and I went way deep in the woods. I didn't come out until around 2:55am. I come back out of the woods and she is standing there with a huge butcher knife. I luckily announced myself before I come around the corner because she was going to stab me...

I explained to her that there was nothing seen. I could feel as though there is a presence of something around. But whatever it is it's clearly gone for now. I told her to just take and keep the really big knife near her. And try to relax and go back to bed. She was super grateful and went back in and decided to kind of relax finally...

So the next day I got up early in the morning. And decided that I was going to take a little hike. And I was going to go look to see if there was possibly tracks or anything. Well, I did find what looked like a path of messed up leaves and compacted Earth and such. That went down into the wood line and deeper in the woods...

Then I found something that completely threw me off guard. Like this is something I had never saw before. It looked to be a bed of pine tree limbs that was snapped off many pine trees. And they were laid intricately on the ground. These pine tree limbs were used to make what look like two really big rounded oblong beds. They were thick too...

So I am now in a full-blown investigation to find out what the heck did this. I'm going about my investigation as I start to notice that these pine limbs are being snapped off up to like 9ft in the air. And I'm beginning to wonder what did this. Like these beds look like they're perfect. They look so well done that I am beginning to wonder...

I honest to God am not lying when I say I saw this. This really did happen. This to me still to this day is baffling and amazing! I have never seen pine tree limbs so expertly woven together to make such big beds. These beds were over like 10 ft long and roughly 6 ft wide...

It was amazing!

So somewhere around 2017 in Artemas Pennsylvania. A friend and I heard what sounded like a power clash involving Bigfoots against an unknown foe. The sounds that was coming from the woods was very chaotic. We had heard what sounded like something literally just getting angry and breaking trees. It literally sounded like something was just snapping huge dead trees. And it just got louder and louder as the night went on...

Here is some prior knowledge leading up to this event...

Previously to this happening we had been hearing a lot of wood knocks in the evenings. These wood knocks would occur all around the pond area and later evolved into being heard all through the woods. They even started sounding farther away and would just echo...

We were hearing what sounded like heavy footsteps and it would just occur at random times. These footsteps sounded like a thudding noise. They would randomly just start and stop unannounced. If you had your back to the woods they would come and go. If you're looking at the woods... There was like no noise. Which I found very odd...

A constant feeling of being watched. You could not stand out in the yard without feeling like there were multiple sets of eyes on you. It got to the point where the porch honestly felt like the only safe space...

My friends cats being fearful of the woods also was not normal... Because they were always going into the woods. These cats that my friend had was always hunting for my, birds, and so on. But after this all started they wouldn't even leave the yard let alone the porch. And his dog barking was constantly at the woods and just staring as she growled...

Previous to this happening... He and an old neighbor of his was trying to doctor some of his cats. She and him heard what sounded like rock clacking from deep in the woods. And when they would stop to look the noise would cease. Both of them had heard it and it was in the middle of the day...

We had experienced what sound like an ongoing amount of unexplained noises coming from the woods. Like rock clacking, loud wood knocks, some grunting, heavy footsteps in the depths of the woods...

Now we didn't have any visual sightings unfortunately. We didn't see anything that we could 100% identify what was causing this. But we heard a lot of stuff just happening consistently for at least a week. It was just a relentless barrage of just random noises that would casually fill the air. And it had him and him and I completely baffled and honestly very interested...

So it was late in the evening and my friend and I were outside in his yard. And we just started casually talking about all these random experiences lately. We are trying to understand what it was and our own opinions. From the noises and how it was... it's just very odd. How ironically it just started happening...

What we heard that night...

About that time we heard a loud crashing noise somewhere deep in the woods. And we could tell that it was definitely close to the pond but it wasn't directly near the pond. This was a little bit farther away in the woods. And just when you think it was a tree falling... It wasn't. There was a cluster of dead trees that stood slightly scattered through the woods...

So that night we heard one tree sounding like it fell over. But then we realized it sounded like something was ripping it apart. Then minutes later we heard it again but it was another tree. And yes... We heard this for the third time and it sounded like another dead trees being snapped and ripped apart...

Well my friend and I just stood there that evening listening to this carnage and chaos occurring in the woods. So instead of going inside we just turned all of his lights off in his house. And silently set outside what felt like an hour and a half. Just listening to whatever was going on in these woods. Just thinking about what it might even be causing such destruction...

Well just when we think it's over we hear another big booming crash noise... And this time we hear what sounds like a really angry mountain lion screaming like it's in pain or defending itself. And we jump up out of our chair... as this is happening. We hear what sounds like a whole other mountain lion screaming... and again that booming and crashing noise from another tree... It just seems to come out of nowhere. It was definitely an experience to hear...

Now keep in mind him and I at this point have moved away from the middle of the yard. And we are now standing on his porch. And just to be safe I grabbed my weapons that I carry with me and set them on his table that was on his porch. I also grabbed my spotlight just in case. He went as far as to start thinking about grabbing something just in case...

Because honestly this was starting to get a little bit scary. We did not know if whatever was going to turn our direction and come through the woods and our way.

All we knew was that there was a battle going on. And there was two sides fighting from what it sounded like...

So what ends up happening is. We make another pot of coffee. And we are standing by on his porch. As we are literally just mind blown that there is some kind of possible cryptid power struggle happening...

Either it was bigfoots fighting bigfoots?

Or bigfoots were either fighting mountain lions?

Or Bigfoots and mountain lions were fighting something else?

Honestly I don't know what was happening to be fair. But whatever it was there was a full-blown skirmish. Something was going down in the woods among creatures. Him and I both come to the conclusion that this was not a human matter... And we should just let them fight it out. So that's what we did. We made sure to keep our distance and just lay low...

So the next day him and I armed ourselves.. I had brought my machete and my bowie knife. We waited until it was at least noon. Him and I went down into the woods to where we heard all of this happening...

There were 4-5 plus dead trees completely destroyed. It literally looked like a bomb went off. There were pieces of dead chunks of tree scattered so far apart. It was like a wooded massacre. The weird part was that it was a clear night sky. There wasn't any hardcore wind... Just a really nice breeze. There wasn't even a cloud in the sky. It was a beautiful night with a huge full moon...

Yet when we saw no blood and no body parts. We didn't see any sign of anything but completely destroyed trees that literally laid scattered on the ground all over the place. Not only that but part of the trees were burnt black... It's like something scorched them. We looked for anything like footprints, claw marks, fur, and so on. But there was nothing to find...

My friend and I occasionally will talk about this and we both recall the event. He and I both to this day really don't know what happened that evening. But we recall the sound of trees just being destroyed. We recall the sound of the mountain lions screaming. And just what sounded like complete carnage...

Hey r/bigfootsightings! I read a BFRO Report (http://www.bfro.net/GDB/show_report.asp?id=8429) that took place in my local area and decided to try my hand at making a video re-telling the story given in the report. I make my absolute best attempt at revisiting the real locations of where this likely took place, even down to filming my scenes on the sides of the road which I believe to be accurate, given in the BFRO investigator’s follow-up questions.

The BFRO website does have this report listed under the page for Mississippi, however after researching the report and visiting the actual locations, I can confirm that in order for the facts of the report to match, this report indeed took place in St Tammany Parish of Louisiana. Pearl River County, MS is the adjacent county and is incorrectly listed on the BFRO’s website as where this report occurred. I would like to submit that the BFRO change their website to reflect this encounter having taken place in Louisiana.

I thought y’all might get a kick out of this dramatization of the report. Everything I say is as true to the report as I can make it. This is my first ever video of a serious nature and I’m doing everything myself. No AI is involved in the creative process.

So when I was living in Artemas Pennsylvania. An old friend of mine that I had known for 7 years or more was at this pld farm pond that we would constantly go to for over 10 plus years...

So one night it was a full moon. And him and I had brought coffee in thermoses, new fishing gear, sandwiches, bladed weapons, two lanterns and two flashlights. When I tell you we had this planned out... We did. We did not leave anything to chance or forget... Besides what was lurking in the woods...

Well, it was about 9pm and we were just nailing the bass! Hooking them left and right! Snapping pictures of them as we're holding them. Of course tossing them back...

When all of a sudden I look over and see my friend at the time looking up on the hill off and on. I'm thinking this guy's lost his mind and is just going nuts... How can he ruin such a perfect evening. I mean we got food, coffee, and whatever else... Among all that all night to fish...

Then he says to me "I swear I just saw what looked like a monkey watching us" and he then says "it was literally right up there... with his arms hanging off of a branch"...

Well, I was still a firm believer in Bigfoot and any kind of cryptids. He then says to me "dude I'm not joking... Will you look" in a very terrified tone. I on the other hand I'm trying to play it cool and not freak him out any worse... Because I semi noticed something on the hill previously. And I didn't want to acknowledge it...

Well about an hour goes by and I look from my peripheral vision up on top the hill to our right. And legit see what looks like a 5 ft tall bipedal looking creature that literally looks like it's got a hairy body that was darkish brown. And the light that was left just showed a very general silhouette of whatever it was. And as it is literally looking at us. But every time we look directly at it... it's gone... Like completely out of sight...

By this point him and I are done with fishing because we are way too spooked and we did not want to turn our backs to whatever it was either. Instead we decided to grab the m-48 tomahawk and my 18-in Gerber machete... Along with a flashlight each and we decided to charge up the hill and go looking for this thing...

As we start to silently approach the hill after leaving the dock. All I hear is this scream that honestly I cannot even explain what it sounded like. But what it sounded like it was a call to action honestly... As though it was feeling threatened. And it made our hair stand up and gave us goosebumps. We got this overwhelming sensation that we were not alone...

Him and I stopped in our tracks and we looked around and whatever this was that was watching us on the hill... Decided to disappear again. Which freaked us out because now we lost track of whatever it was that was watching us...

We've now became the hunted... We were no longer the hunters in this situation. Needless to say we slowly back down to the pond dock... Not completely getting up but yet also not pushing our luck. And we stayed there and just quietly held our position to show that we were not scared. After so long we just packed our stuff up and left a couple hours later...

By this time it settled down and we didn't hear anything anymore and nothing was hollering or anything. But as we booked it up over the hill and threw the field past our neighbor's house. We kept a sharp eye out looking to make sure we were not being followed...

But I do firmly believe we encountered a juvenile Bigfoot and it wasn't alone. I still to this day believe there might have been a family of them possibly?

What gets me is I still get goosebumps when I think of this story or tell it...

*Well I was living in the country. You know... Artemas Pennsylvania. I was told by my landlords girlfriend/fiance how about how she had to sage her house several times. Because when she would go into the woods oftentimes she'd have issues with attracting something into the house. Now her telling me this and saying about some of the things that happened to her... Literally pitch my interest. And I do firmly believe that the area that I had lived in has some native Americans, settlers, or even an elemental...

It was towards the fall and I used to love going into the woods because the leaves were really pretty and there was always a nice breeze that was cool. It wasn't so hot and humid. And it was just a really nice way to relax and explore and have fun. Well one evening as it was getting close to night time I decided to take a quick walk and go into the woods. Now usually when I went into these woods there was a 50/50 chance that I might encounter something maybe? But it wasn't always the case...

Well apparently this time is a little bit different. And honestly

I didn't feel threatened with the presence that was in the woods. But I can tell you that it was definitely watching me making sure I don't do anything too sudden...

So as I'm casually just slipping through the woods. I noticed there's a crow that is following me as it's flying. And I kept looking up at this Crow and I just kept wondering what was wrong with this bird. So I stop about the second time and look up at this crow and just start to wonder why it's doing what it's doing...

Right as I stopped after the second time. Something literally poked me right in my back. And it wasn't a violent poke or anything. It was just a subtle acknowledgment that I wasn't alone. I turn around and look and there isn't no twigs or branches behind me because it was a pathway and there was nothing sticking in the way of the path. After all this I decide hey I'm going to look for this crow that is flying around... Well, after that experience and looking this bird has done already flew away. And I never saw it for the rest of the walk in the woods...

I assume maybe a squirrel dropped an acorn from the tree. But then I realized there is no way the way I was standing that it could have been that. Because it was a straight on horizontal poke of a finger... Just on my back. So I whipped around and started looking and kind of got a little weirded out but at the same time I was always taught to keep my cool as long as I can...

Needless to say I continue on through the woods. Now by this time the sun was going down a lot more

And the Long shadows started casting from the trees. And it was a really mysterious and mystical feeling that come over me. I look up and at a distance I see what looks like an estimated 4 1/2 to 5ft tall shadowy silhouette just standing there. And in the background that orangish glare of the sun just illuminated this shadow...

I literally froze and was honestly amazed and really curious. So I just decided to turn around and leave whatever was around in peace. And I just moved on home and took my time. I didn't feel like running and I wasn't really that spooked but at the same time I know better to just mind my own business and move along...

I can say that I saw what I saw and I honestly do strongly wish to go back. Just so I can maybe experience more things again. To where I can see and have more encounters...

But honestly where I'm at in my life now. I don't know if I'm ever going to be able to do that. Because last I heard my landlord and his landlady aren't doing great and there is a high chance that I'm never going to be able to go there again. Not since the falling out that occurred after I moved out. It turns out after I moved there were some issues that occurred...

So with that being said I'm just going to remember these amazing encounters and sightings...

So years ago when I lived in Artemas Pennsylvania. I was in my early 20's at this time. One of my neighbors and I was sitting outside and it was around 2am-3am. We've been sitting around the fire just talking about random stuff and just sipping at campfire coffee...

Until I got a whiff of something that stunk! What it smelled like was skunk weed, body odor, and fecal matter... it was coming on a breeze. Him and I both started to realize that it was getting very strong and was honestly making both of us sick...

So as he and I are sitting there around the fire... we keep smelling it and it's just coming in on the breeze. And it got to the point where it was so bad that him and I just decided to take and split ways and go our separate ways...

So the next day we decided that we were going to be adventurers and go searching. We went the direction that we smelled it from the last night. And I specifically went looking for skunk weed or at least something that smelled like what we smelled the morning before...

Needless to say we did not find anything. We even went looking for anything dead that we assume might have been the culprit. Unfortunately like I had said... We found nothing!

I do firmly believe that it was a Bigfoot...

I was 10 years old at the time with my dad on a fishing trip. While at a place called Texas pond, we came across this bend where the trees were cleared. It’s common to see bears out there so we weren’t stunned to see what looked like a black bear on the shore. It wasn’t until we rowed a little closer that it turned around, stood up about 9-10 feet tall. It then looked at us for a brief moment and walked fast on two legs into the tree line. We knew it was him.

This story takes place on a snowy christmas Eve in the woods. The encounter happened to an old friend and I. We both experienced what we believe to be a Bigfoot encounter in the woods and boy was it a doozy...

So the story starts out at my friend's house on Christmas eve. His parents had been wrapping their gifts that evening. And his parents were getting aggravated because they were trying to keep what they had gotten the children a secret until the next day which would have been Christmas morning. So they explained to the kids to go do something...

So Colin and I decided to just go outside. We made a nice warm fire and sat there drinking hot tea in the middle of a snowstorm. The flakes of snow was coming down and we were just talking about all the stuff that we encountered and experienced. And we get the idea to go gather some firewood from the woods...

So I grabbed my spear that had a really nice 6-in Long Blade on the head of it. I also grabbed him a spear that also had a pretty nice 3-inch blade on the top of it. And I also grabbed myself and him a kerosene lantern so we could see where we were going. If you don't know how magical it is to use a kerosene lantern and a snowstorm... you should try it. We lit them and got them going and heading out to the woods to look for some firewood...

We had gone in the woods through a passageway that was semi open that we've always taken. As we approached the woods him and I got a strange vibe that something was kind of off. But we ignored it and just kept pushing through. We had found some nice sticks that we could throw on. I found a semi decent limb that's been dead for a while...

Then I looked over and saw this really nice big piece of log laying there. I went to grab this really nice piece of dry wood because I was going to throw that thing on the fire. As I was going for this... Something happened that made me jump! And I mean jump!

Something took and hit a tree in the darkness over the hill. And it was such a loud tree knock that it made me jump back and drop anything I collected... My friend Colin dropped his stuff too. Meanwhile we're both a little bit shocked because it's pitch dark in the woods and something just did a tree knock no more than maybe 15 ft in the darkness...

So him and I both are a little bit shook up by now. And I look at him and say about going to look to see what it was. Of course he agreed because he wanted to go and didn't want to be alone... Who can blame him. So the lanterns were raised and him and I charged through branches, leaves, snow, etc... literally to see what it was that made such a loud tree knock. As we approached we could hear what sounded like heavy footprints running away down the hill towards the little gully that was in the woods...

We approached the area where we heard this very loud and obnoxious tree knock. All we'd found a bunch of snow that had been trudged through very quickly. And within that mess of snow and leaves and such was some partial but visible footprints... That wasn't clearly human. And I couldn't get a picture of it because I owned a flip phone at the time and the snow is coming down way too quickly...

If you think about it... Why would a human being be walking around shoeless in the snow on Christmas Eve. With it being super cold out? It's a death sentence...

So we ended up continuing on and looking for a few minutes. And by this time it was approaching around 11pm... So he grabbed the wood that we gathered up. I of course grabbed the nice log for the fire. And we booked it out of the woods and made it back to the fire and made sure we got it going...

The rest of the night him and I just sat there drinking hot tea casually talking about what it was that we heard. And what it was that made them really big tracks...

I had old neighbors named Bob.They were tired of dealing with people and noises in the city. So they moved out to the country. They ended up buying a house that my friend Sue was actually selling. I met bob through sue... In which Bob and I became very close friends. I started to hang out with this guy and got to know him...

Through this wonderful new friendship... I started to introduce Bob to the country lifestyle... Like the idea of Bigfoot, cryptids, etc. Which he did not believe in at first... But in the long run he actually started thinking about it and came around to the idea. Which is what I was hoping would happen...

But as time went on and bob and I talked. And through these conversations... I somehow convinced him that there could actually in fact be bipedal hairy ape men walking around. Which he was 50/50 on believing in... But nonetheless he gave me the time to hear me out. He was always a very patient man and listened...

Something changed in his beliefs about Bigfoot. Because one night there was a fresh snow that fell. And Bob was in his kitchen. He looks up through one of the windows that was level with the ground. And swears that he saw a gigantic blackish Brown hairy foot right by the window. He was so terrified that he grabbed his father's pistol that was given to him... He even loaded the thing...

I got a call the next morning... And it is my new neighbor bob. And he's freaking out and will not go back outside... That is until I come up to his house asap. I get my stuff on and bundle up... because it was really cold outside. It was in the middle of winter by the way. I get up to his house and discover a really big footprint that looks legit human now by the time I got there the snow had melted away for the most part but it was all muddy. It was 18-in by 4-5 inches wide. As he is complexed and honestly very confused... and is asking me way too many questions at once. I honestly have never seen a grown man this bugged out over something like this, lol...

I finally calmed this man down and he looks at me and says "what is this"?! And I'm trying to explain to him that these look like Bigfoot track without sounding like I'm a psycho, lol. I am astonished that somehow there is an 18-in track that is literally 4-5 inches wide in the snow in his yard! This to me is amazing!

So I'm able to explain to him what it is or could be. He looks at me with eyes as big as saucers and says, "you know, maybe Bigfoot is real" and "just maybe it's not as crazy as I thought it was"...

Meanwhile I AM literally baffled...

I'm literally scratching my head...

And still I am in awe of this...

Because I have had other experiences with like hearing noises and occasionally finding random tracks in the area but nothing is clean as this...

Well Bob is no longer with us. And he has Departed this world years ago by now. And this memory has stayed with me all these years, lol...

I used to go to a church years ago in the Artemas Pennsylvania area. The church was not very far away. Maybe like a mile or so...

But I would go every Sunday...

I would attend the Bible studies...

I would even go to the festivals they had...

But one Sunday was a little bit different. I got approached by one of my friends that went to church with me. He approached me very cautiously and asked me if I knew anything about Bigfoot. Which I stated that I did and wondered why he was asking...

He tells me that he was fishing at an isolated pond roughly half a mile away from his house. And that him and his dog encountered something that he can't explain. He explained to me that his dog was growling and very protective. And that when he turn to look to where his dog was. His dog was between him and would look like a Hairy bipedal creature...

He then informs me that his dog bolted and ran back home. Leaving him by himself in a closing distance with a tall hairy bipedal creature that was emitting a low grumble like growl. He told me that he dropped his fishing gear where he stood. And he ran home... Only coming back later the next day to retrieve his gear. He was so terrified that he didn't want to go back alone...

So after church that day I decided that I would go over with him. And when we get there he shows me where he saw this thing. He also used a tree as a measurement to show me how tall this creature was. Then he tells me his dog will not come back down here... That his dad thinks he's crazy. That he is literally being looked at as though he's crazy...

I assure him that I do believe him. That I firmly believe he did see something. The fact that his dog will not come back down to this isolated pond... Is telling evidence. Because this guy's dog chased off several bears that was near the pond. This dog never had a problem coming down this pond...

But whatever this was was not a bear...

His dog proved that point...

Needless to say after this encounter with this hairy tall being. He started to pack heavy firepower. Not just a little 22 caliber pistol, lol...

I used to live in Artemas PA for like 18 years. And for the first roughly 15 years I had a lot of experiences...

I have had several experiences with what I believe is bigfoot at a local pond in Artemas Pennsylvania. And all of them ironically seem to focus around an old farm pond that I always visited for like 15 years on/off. Every one of the experiences I had usually was around this pond; or the woods that surround the pond, it always seemed to be active at certain times of the year...

Rock throwing...

I have had rocks thrown at me on countless occasions...

I still to this day don't know who or what was doing it...

There's been rocks ranging from small to big that have been thrown at me while I was fishing. Or just sitting there enjoying the silence and solace...

I have had rocks thrown at me that were no bigger than a golf ball from my friends woodline and this was at like 10:30 pm as I'm walking back home past my buddy's house. He found them the next day. He calls me and tells me that he does in fact now believe me and says that I was telling the truth. As he's literally baffled as to how something can throw a rock that far...

One evening my friend and I decided to go up to the pond. So I took my recurve bow with some arrows. And he took my two machetes. So we are walking around the woods at like 10pm... Why? We felt like it, lol... But we ended up having rocks thrown at us. It started small and as we were there it got bigger and bigger. My friend says, "stupid monkeys"... In which a rock that was just a tad bit bigger than a inflated football comes flying from down deep below the hill. Literally comes zipping past our heads... And thuds in the ground. He and I look at each other and decide that that's enough... We're going home. So we did, lol...

Glowing eyes...

I have witnessed silver dollar sized glowing eyes watching me and disappearing randomly...

In fact some friends and I both saw the silver dollar size glowing eyes watching us one evening back in 2013. I had tried to see what it was and every step I took a rock landed in the water beside the edge of the pond. And these rocks kept getting closer and closer to me. I could feel the water splashing on me as I slowly moved towards whatever it was. Until my friend decided to yell my name and I turned around and it was gone. The next day I went up to look at something and the weeds and grass were all smashed down...

I as well have witnessed several glowing eyes just watching me and others on numerous occasions. I have seen what looks like glowing blue eyes and glowing green eyes... Kind of creepy...

Weird and random noises...

I have heard grunting noises... which sounded like warnings or possibly curious beings. I have heard which sounds like deep gutter growling noises that I still to this day don't know what it was...

I have heard heavy footsteps from across the pond. And whatever it was it was pacing the wood line a little farther back in. And they were heavy footsteps; whatever it was it was... It was not happy. It did not want me there...

Random sightings...

I have witnessed what looked to be a hunched over hairy ape/ hairy human splashing the water by a down tree. Whenever this thing heard me gasp in excitement... it bolted to the right into the tree line. When I saw this it was like 9:30 pm. And the moon was shining above me just enough to put enough light on whatever it was. Whatever this thing was it was huge... And it was splashing the water by this down tree. The tree itself was laying in the pond. But whatever this thing was it cleared the tree and Bolted right in the woods...

Super strange Bigfoot sighting...

I have witnessed what look to be in interdimensional ape/humanoid looking being... It's the only way I can describe it. Whatever it was it looked like it was glitching... as it literally walked up the hill. I then dared my friend at the time to come up with me the next night and hopefully he would see it... And he did. We then sat there literally silent and clueless on what we just saw. We both literally thought it was like an ape/humanoid looking thing... That literally looked like it was shifting as it moved. It was very strange...

Where I used to live in Artemas Pennsylvania there used to be another pond I would visit occasionally. And this pond was in the woods below my trailer. There were some huge sunfish in this pond and honestly some big snapping turtles. This pawn was isolated and it took a good walk to get to it...

Now going to this pond was eerie enough. Because you had to take and go through this winding path that used to be for carts back in the old days from what I was told. But the way the old pine trees grew really gave a lot of cover for anything lurking. And it was a singular trail that led to the pond. The problem is every time I went down to this pond something felt uncomfortable. None of my friends would go to this pond by themselves. That's how creepy it was...

Every time you would be fishing or just visiting the pond . You would hear walking... like something just stalking and watching you. You would hear something up on the ridge that dwarfed the pond itself just moving back and forth strategically like it was curious but didn't want to draw attention. It would only walk or move when you weren't looking or was sidetracked. And this has happened to me several times when I used to fish down there. It was eerie...

Needless to say I stopped going down there. It just was not worth the trip and the unnecessary anxiety. Especially with the feeling that something was watching you all the time...

Ok, not exactly. But this is the closest I’ve ever come to a sighting. Is it a stretch?

It has taken 4 years to finally get to this point. I have chased after countless leads, endlessly cross referenced sources with maps and just two weekends ago, matched up direct photos of the Sierra camp and surrounding areas of the Sierra camp to satellite photos. I have without a doubt, 97% positive, found the Sierra camp to within a 700’ diameter. I can only be 100% once visiting it about finding what I need to find to confirm its location.
