How Bigfoot May Have Saved A Man From Hypothermia
Palm Print with dermal ridges on Tailgate of SUV |
This story is from sierratahoebigfoot.blogspot.com and it was sent in by a man named Jordan who got stuck in the middle of nowhere in Northern Nevada.
Due to a rash of car trouble, such as running out of gas, and a dead battery, Jordan was forced to spend the night inside his car without a jacket and with just a few light blanks. During the freezing night, he was woken up by "samurai chatter" sounds and the shaking of his car. During one moment in particular, Jordan woke up to a Bigfoot staring straight into his face. "Wasn't human. Wasn't a dog. Not anything I've ever seen," wrote Jordan.
In the comments section of the story, "Jordan's In-Laws" believe that if it wasn't for Bigfoot keeping their son-in-law awake at night, he would have probably died. "We believe that he experienced something bizarre and we believe that something kept him alive and his adrenaline pumping so he did not succumb to hypothermia and die," they wrote.
"We now thank God everyday for 'Bigfoot' saving Jordan's life."
Here is Jordan's story:
I had an experience the other night that is leaving me feeling a little crazy and confused. I however know I saw something and heard things I cant explain. After seeing markings on my SUV and reading online I have decided to share the experience with you. Maybe this will confirm my theory and help me feel like I am not insane.
Let me tell you about myself first. I'm 29 going to be 30 this month. I have 3 kids and I'm married to a wonderful down to earth woman. I'm originally from San Diego and moved to the Dayton area about 6 months ago so my wife could be closer to family and we could escape the rat race. I took a job as a mechanic for a mining company in the Elko area. I commute to Crescent Valley on my weeks on and come home on my weekends till we find a house closer to my work. Anyway I make this 4 hour drive about 6 times a month.
About 3 months ago I ran into a rash of car trouble in that area. So far I have had a tire shred on my truck that almost put me on its lid, a radiator blow apart on the same truck, a truck I borrowed lost an alternator there. Then this last time. I left Crescent Valley about 8 pm. I was talking to my wife on the phone when i ran out of gas. I usually make it to nearest gas station. I tried to get help for a few hours to no avail. Police said, "Tough." and the local tow company would tow me but not bring me a gallon of gas to get into town and people stopping to see whats going on apparently isn't allowed. They just get over and speed up.
Eventually a NHP officer pulled up and offered me a ride to the gas station, but then he had to leave while we were there so I had to walk back with my gallon of gas. Took about an hour and a half because I was cold due to not having proper attire. I put the gas in and tried to start the SUV. Now I've got a DEAD BATTERY. Again no help from law enforcement and the on-call tow operator was TOO LAZY TO GET OUT OF BED AND HELP.
Long story, ended up with my wife and myself just being hung up on. So I figured I'll have to wait till I get a friend to wake up and come help. I tried to warm up best I could. No jackets, just 2 light blankets in the car and a balaclava from work. Did I mention my drivers window was stuck down? It was now low teens as far as temp. I'm laying in the drivers seat, when I feel the car rock side to side. Nothing had driven by and there were no cars for miles. I sit up and look around. Not a damn thing anywhere. Just dark and cold as hell. I light a cigarette and look around outside. I was just out there trying to flag down cars not 20 minutes before, and I saw nothing around.
No one had driven by in a while so I laid back down. I cruised my phone for a few and felt tired. Its 2:20 am. I'LL NEVER FORGET THAT TIME. I was on my side facing the passenger side. After I focused on the window, passed the glow of my phone, I saw a face in the window. Wasn't human. Wasn't a dog. Not anything I've ever seen. I could see the glow from the phone on it. I blinked, and it was gone. Shook my head and thought I was hallucinating because I was bordering on hypothermia. About 20 minutes later I wake up not knowing I was asleep and I lying flat. Over the hood, I see a figure. Same face I saw earlier, just darker. Then it was gone.
Wow! "I'm losing it." I start thinking to myself. I feel very tired at this point, so I lay down again. Facing the drivers door I close my eyes. A few minutes later I have the feeling of a presence and open my eyes. There's a figure at the open window just inches from my face! I don't move, but look up and see it is above the car. This is a GMC Envoy SUV. I'm 6'4" and barely can see over the top. I move, and it slips back behind the door so I cant see. Holy sh*t! I wasn't hallucinating now. I saw something. I sat up and looked around. Stuck my head out the window. There was nothing there. Wow!
So I light a cigarette and sit up towards the steering wheel. Its so cold, I don't even know what to compare it to. Still no help either by the way. A few trucks go by. I try too see anything in the headlights. Nothing. Looking at the center divide which is a ditch about 20 yards across., I see a dark mass that moved a little bit. I figured it a deer, or a bush. There are no bushes here though, so it's not likely I see the only one and swear it just showed up. After seeing that I'm sitting looking out the windshield smoking and I hear a low gurgle talking sound. Never heard anything like it in my life. Almost like the predator was speaking gibberish while gargling. I look. There's nothing there, and it came from the center divide. THAT WAS NOT EVEN QUESTIONABLE AS A FIGMENT OF THE IMAGINATION. I heard it. Few seconds later I hear it again but its louder and right at the front of the car. I dip my head out the window, and look but again, nothing was there.
Somewhere, I fell asleep again and was awoken by another NHP at 6:32 am who thought I was frozen to death. He helped me get going to fuel up and get home. Everything is fine and I get home OK.
Feeling a little weird from the cold experience but I'm still kicking. Now I can't get what I saw out of my head. Can't get what I heard out of my head. I explain what happened to the wife and she seems to get it.
Then I do research, and can't find anything related to cryptozoology for that area accept one bigfoot article. It fits the description of what I saw pretty well, and I find a recorded speech pattern that I can hear what I heard on the side of the road up there. Not exact, but I can hear it.
So today, January the 8th, we go to look at the car to see if there's anything on it. We find hand prints with fingerprints in areas that match pushing the car to shake it. All around the body the dirt is swept away. Obviously from a hairy mass rubbing on the sides and rear bumper. You can see where the car was leaned on for a few while looking in the windows, and where I startled it and it backed away from the window. I can prove it too. I took pictures. The hand is much bigger than mine and new to the car but not done here because it has a layer of road dust over it from my drive home. Review this and let me know what you think. I believe what I saw and experienced, and no one will convince me otherwise. I thought you might be interested in my story.
Thanks for reading,
Jordan

This guy has a cell and a lighter but he would rather freeze than start a fire, call for help, or stop being cheap and die? Seems weird to me
ReplyDeleteOlsen
finally an excellent and believable story....thisa is the real thing.
ReplyDeleteTowards the end he says he sees nothing in the headlights, I thought he had a dead battery? Then he says the highway patrol dude helped him fuel up, I thought he already had fuel, his battery was dead. I don't know man.
ReplyDeleteI think the head lights he is talking about are those on the passing trucks. Sounds credible to me
Deletecome on you see something outside your car and don't do anything about it ....yea right....sounds like he had a few hours to dream up a good story.
ReplyDeleteCool encounter.
ReplyDeleteOK so he had a lighter but he didn't start a fire? If it was that cold then it was a life threatening issue.
ReplyDeleteWhat was he suppose to start a fire with? He said there were no bushes. If it was flat land then there was no fire wood.
DeleteNo disrespect intended but I don't think this story is factual.
ReplyDeleteBigfoot, which I happen to know is a real, doesn't think like a human being. Bigfoot is an animal that blends seamlessly into nature and goes about its business without concern for people stuck in the snow. They just don't function like that. They are much more like a highly secretive gorilla. They do not watch people to make sure they're okay, or to make sure that food left behind isn't poison, as I saw on an episode of that Bigfoot show. That kind of behavior requires a much higher functioning brain.
With all due respect to you Sue, I think you may have encountered a not-so-smart one. There are many, many accounts of extreme intelligence by these "animals". And, lots of interactions that go way above and beyond that of a "highly secretive gorilla". Just because you didn't have that kind of encounter doesn't mean they are all like what you experienced. There are dumb humans too (plenty...!!)
DeleteJN
@Sue D: I don't subscribe to your secretive gorilla theory. Bigfoots seem to be much smarter than a common gorilla.
DeleteOn a separate note: I would like to make a serious mess on those glasses of yours.
I think all bigfoots should be tranquilized, given an aptitude test and released back into the wild. Hopefully we can get some No Sasquatch Left Behind laws in place.
Delete@ the 2nd Anonymous: You wrote: "a serious mess on those glasses of yours" Huh? I don't get it.
Delete2nd Anonymous is why it is a good idea for you to use the moniker "Sue Donymous".

Sue - whoever made that comment about your glasses is being, er, overtly suggestive on an act he would like to perform. Got it???
DeleteC'mon man (to the poster of the comment)...don't be a jerk-off here. Pun intended.
JN
Sue - That his f'ed up way of saying you're hot.
DeleteHe's right, you are cute, but what he said was completely inappropriate.
Oh my stars, the glasses comment was rude, crude and completely disturbing.
Delete@2nd anonymous: not in a million years.
@everyone else: thanks for the support and for clarifying. Now I'm totally embarrassed!
Ignore the haters,trolls and pigs Sue.
DeleteThey all need to be fed constantly,so don't waste your time conversing with them.
Thank you, sir!
DeleteLook lady, you're the one who uses a cute picture of yourself as your avatar. I'm sure there are a lot of guys on this blog that would enjoy going number three on those glasses of yours. Most girls love Bukkake - look it up.
DeleteIt's a compliment so don't go all coy on me.
Jesus, man. Cut it out, she's a kid.
DeleteActually, many girls find it highly offensive and demeaning. Porn isn't exactly a credible source.
DeleteDroppin' loads!
DeleteIf the window was down on the driver's side, why would you sit in the driver's seat? I wouldn't doubt that he saw something because people see stuff all the time and nobody ever believes. Can someone just get concrete evidence of bigfoot so we can end this hype? Otherwise we're going to keep hearing stories about bigfoot.
ReplyDeleteStory doesn't add up. Nice bit of fiction.
ReplyDeleteThis is not the first time Bigfoots have helped people, if that was their intention in this case. I am reminded of a story that happened to a Vietnamese gentleman in Northern California, I believe in the 1960s. He broke his leg in the forest a ways from home and the pain caused him to pass out. When he awoke he was back at his residence, and his wife told him that a large hairy bipedal creature had carried him home.
ReplyDeleteNot sure the Bigfoots were their to help this guy or just curious, or something else. Rocking of vehicles has been reported time and time again.
Chuck
I remember that story and found it very interesting also.
DeleteBigfoot must've gotten his address off the ID in his wallet then, huh? Or reversed the route in his GPS? Or...
DeleteAnon - nice try. He gave you the short version of the story. The guy was living in a house that was experiencing habituation. They knew him because of this. It's not like they used to chat with him on AOL.
DeleteSeems I read another account where a guy was wounded in the forest and passed out. He woke up next to a stream with a Sasquatch who fed him and then got him back to the road. Can't find the report, would love to read it again if someone knows where it's posted though.
Delete@Anon 02:20: Sorry, I did not know the full story.
DeletePersonally I think Squatch is a big Homo so why not take the guy home? (pun intended)
I don't subscribe to the ape theory since it makes more sense for a more intelligent creature to be so well hidden.
--Anon 12:46
Hoax. I don't even need to see it! Liars! Mass-hallucinators! Faked!That big ol' hand print is from a bear. The dermal ridges are either faked or everybody, everywhere is lieing!!
ReplyDeleteHow dare you try to present any facts or scientific analysis of this. I know already all that there is to know about everything. Hog-wash I tell you.
Blogging and drinking don't mix, Too early in the day for that kid
DeleteSpoonin with the Squach....Oh My!!!
ReplyDeleteI went to the Sierra Tahoe blog and read the event in two parts including comments from Jordan and his inlaws. It makes for a compelling encounter. Just my opinion.
ReplyDeleteChuck
Spend the night with a girlfriend and needed a good excuse for the wife?
ReplyDeleteWell, I agree with some of the skeptical issues noted above including why he would light up a cigarette after just seeing a face. I think my instinct if I thought something was messing with me, would be to lay on the horn. I find it hard to believe in such weather, a squad car wouldn't be willing to come give aid to a traveler. I don't know. Some of it sounds feasible and some of it just doesn't. Would BF ever linger around a roadway and a car? Seems like the worst place he could dawdle.
ReplyDeleteHorn was my first thought to. If you are scared, the best action would be to try and scae whatever the animal was away. The horn would probably freak out any type of animal that close to the car.
DeleteThe whole story stinks of BS.
o0
I think this guy was on a Brokeback trip getting furiously rear ended. When he got home his wife found his hand prints on the truck so he had to say it was Bigfoot.
DeleteDon't honk the horn! My old man tried to scare one away doing that as well as revving engines etc. but the damn thing just got noisier and worse tempered.
DeleteYou are forgetting the dead battery,
Deletehorns do not work with out the car running
or a charged battery, but I agree that there is many parts of this story that don't make since.
This story may be true, it may not. It's difficult to say. There have been a few reported instances of BF(s) saving or helping people. Other than the story mentioned above by Alpha dog (which I've also heard), the other one that comes to mind is the story of the little boy that got lost in the woods. This wasn't too long ago. Apparently the little boy was spotted by a helicopter using a thermal imager. Initially, however, there were two heat signatures - a large one and a small one. As the rescue team converged on the heat signatures, the larger one ran away. The little one (being the little boy) told the rescue team that a "monster" saved him, protected him, and kept him warm. It is not unheard of for BF(s) to help people.
ReplyDeleteHowever, in my opinion, that wasn't the case here. I don't think the BF(s) said to himself/themselves: "Hey, this guy is gonna die if we don't keep him awake." I think the BF was probably just curious and wanted to check things out.
I also don't think that you can discount the story just because it happened on a roadway. There are many stories about people being tired from driving and pulling over for a short nap, only to wake up to something looking into, or banging on the vehicle. We also don't know how traveled the roadway was at night. So this argument is a bit unfair. (Sorry Sharon) :)
Finally, Sue, with all due respect. You make a lot of bold statements about how BF "are", what they do, and how they think, as if you are speaking of facts. Nobody knows what they think. We can only speculate based on experience. I have seen one watching me from about 20 ft away, only to walk away once it realized I spotted it. It wasn't trying to hide too much. Sure, it was behind a tree, but it was leaning pretty far out. It wasn't any sort of James Bond gorilla. lol It would be better to make yoru statements as "your opinion", because that's what they are. Mine are only my opinion. It's my opinion that they are more than just an animal like you say. I think they have a highly functioning brain. I'm not sure what you mean when you say they "don't think like a human"...how would you think if you didn't have an education? I think they are probably closer to that type of thinking, but that's just my opinion.
Nonetheless, even if they are just an animal, this story is still possible if you assume the "animal" was just curious. If you have a cat, and bring something new into the house (it's territory) it will check it out as soon as it notices it and decides that it is safe to do so. This story was no different.
It's hard to say if this story is true or not. There may be only one person that knows. Although, in all fairness, he needs to give up the location, so I can "break down" there some night. Who's with me?
Being in Ohio I can be of no help or I would. However if you contact the Sierra Tahoe Blog I bet the proprietor, I think his name is also Chuck, would give it to you. Heck, he probably would put you in touch with Jordan. You could do your own investigation and report back to us. Anyway just a thought.
DeleteChuck
Can you provide more information about the boy, rescue team and "monster" please? That is an interesting story.
Delete@Desertbigfootsteve: I have information not available to you.
DeleteI don't remember were I saw either story. I will have to look around. However, here are two I have bookmarked that are similar. They both show that BF can be caring and helpful.

http://www.bigfootencounters.com/articles/BFbaby.htm
Ah, the old "information not available to you" trick. Nice call!
DeleteWell, in that case, I also have information not available to you. :)
I'm sure you knows lots of things I do not. I'm not trying to be a brat, I was raised to respect adults, and I do. So apologies, I was just trying to make my point without revealing too much. I grew up on a farm near deep woods and my family made an agreement that we would never speak explicitly about what we saw and experienced. I bet there are lots of people like us who just want to make sure we don't mess things up for you-know-who. Thanks for understanding, DesertBigfootSteve!
DeleteI'm with you. I don't talk about all the things that have happened to me. I am of the "they should never be scientifically discovered" mindset. I think they are more protected while the whole world doesn't beleive in them.
DeleteWe are cool. I wasn't trying to be a big meanie, either. I am also native american and I have heard a lot of the stories past down. I wish they were still that interactive with us today.
story doesn't add up... He said he was stuck with his wife and didn't mention her for the rest of the "story" So what you took your blankets and left your wife to freeze? Was she sleeping? Did she hear it? Was she just dropped dead in a ditch after? I see swiss cheese.
ReplyDeleteMaybe you need to read it again. I am under the impression he talked to his wife on the PHONE. Of course you will see holes in the story if your comprehension is that of a 2nd grader.
DeleteNo gas, but enough cigarettes to make it through the night. Some people's priotrites are backwards.
ReplyDeleteit was biscardi
ReplyDeletelol what an utter load of bollocks. typical "squatch" story
ReplyDeleteYou are forgetting the dead battery,
ReplyDeletehorns do not work with out the car running
or a charged battery, but I agree that there is many parts of this story that don't make since.
Can you say TALL TALE?
ReplyDeleteso.... how did bigfoot save this jerk from hypothermia again? what kind of cigarettes was he smoking?
