A Man's Encounter With A Juvenile Bigfoot Asking For Fish

When I started to do my own research on the legend of Sasquatch, I came across many interesting stories and research on the existence of the Relict Hominoid. I have read many accounts of close encounters with Sasquatch, in particular I always liked the stories that depicts Sasquatch are social beings with IQs and possible language.

Only a creature with these types of capacities could have the ability to successfully elude men for so many years. We have heard many stories of this supposed legend, but many lack the knowledge and details that so many credible researchers understand about these Hominoids. What you’re about to read may change your thinking on the possible intelligence and existence of Sasquatch.

In late January, 2012, I was contacted by a member of my group page on Facebook, the story you’re about to read is an email the member wrote to me. It’s an amazing account of an event that occurred in the early 90’s, somewhere in the Midwest of the United States. For reasons of protection of this Hominoid’s habitat, the disclosure of the location of the event is being kept confidential, until this species is recognized and protected. I agreed not to disclose the location because there are people that can and will try to exploit these Hominoids.

Today the significance of finding another species closely related to humans has been place by many skeptics as highly improbable. In this story, many will question its validity and truth as well. Through the years that I have researched the enigma of Sasquatch, I have never heard of such a fascinating account of this type of class “A” encounter.

When I wrote this article I wanted to maintain the flow of this person’s words as he related the story. Although what you’re going to read is not exactly grammatically correct, I hope you can appreciated the color of his words and his descriptions of these Hominoids.

Here’s his story (unedited):

In 1987 I started to go fishing at a reservoir, in an area that later in the 90’s would be made into Campground, It was a very dark night, you could only see a few feet in front of you and the stars were the only lights you could see. I notice something or somebody would come close to me, about a few feet of where I was sitting fishing, when I would look to see who it was, they would take off running, but there was something just not right about it. It was dark so I could not really see who it was, this person or something would make sounds of amazement like it was being pick on all of a sudden, you could hear it or whatever it was gasping as if it was caught by surprise and then it would run off once again like it was playing a game with me. Since it was so dark I had to count on my other senses to figure out who or what was taunting me , I could hear it’s footsteps, they sounded like a heavy wide object was been plopped on the ground and in the darkness I could see these glowing red eyes.

Now this was not my first experience with what I already knew as a Sasquatch, like I said I had been going fishing and hunting there, before it became the campground. My first encounter with a Sasquatch was another while I was hunting; I was on state land south of reservoir. I was bird hunting, and only had one hunting dog with me at the time. As my dog was out in front of me a group of turkeys were startled, got up and flew away. All of a sudden a large figure took a step out of the cedars trees some 60 yards away from me and then I saw it was a group of three, they were all standing together under a tree that was 25 feet tall and 8 feet across the bottom. Well the dog ran back scared, I knew it was a Sasquatch and when the bigger one saw me, it began to yell and wave his arms back and forth. I turn around and started to walk away, after a little ways I turn back to look, I could see the three Sasquatch still looking at me. I again turn away while I was walking and when I looked back again I could see that one was actually carrying a smaller one and then I began to run away. After that I began to visit this area more often when I had time and I had a few more sightings. Now I think these Sasquatch came to know me after a while and when I visited the fishing and hunting area, they knew it was me for some reason.

In the early 90’ the new campground opened. I remember I had so many happy days when I would go there if I had the time. One Saturday I got there real early. You could hear the campers getting up and around fixing bacon and eggs, The smells of the first of the day and you could hear people talking, just enjoying being out. People were talking about how the new campgrounds were so nice and how great it was to be there. I was sitting down in the parking lot near the lake watching everyone enjoying the beautiful day as I was fishing. Now people say Sasquatch only come out at night, but I knew better and know they can come out any time. They only use the dark night to hunt, as I am going to say and write they are out during the day light hours too. What I know is the younger ones they are not the hunters, but the larger ones are the hunters. I think the younger ones are curios and want to try something different, so they try to find an easy picking. Well I was there for the strangest thing that could happen that day, two Sasquatch came walking around this cove on the lake, when they got to the middle of the parking area, near the boat ramp, They stop and turn to each other and the bigger one that was close to 7 feet tall, begins to gesture and it looked like it was talking to the little one.

It was a language with sounds and hand movements, the bigger one would point to the little one and then it would gesture and point down. I could see the bigger one wave its hands flat fingers in a fan. It was apparent to me that the little one, was the one to check out the area and that’s exactly what he did. He walked to the boat launch, tried the hand rails by pulling and jerking on them and then walked on top of the peer. The peer moved under his feet, he looked at it like he was testing it out and began to jump on it. Nearby, stood a mother and her two kids, the little one walk over to them and began to talk or try to talk to the woman. She looked at him and I could see in her face that she knew something was not right. She looked at her kids and I heard her say, “come on it’s time to go. The amazing part, she looked at him and politely said, have a nice day sir, and walked around him and left him on the peer. Then the little Sasquatch walked back to the parking lot and towards me.

Now this is cool part, he stops behind me and begins to try to talk to me! I could tell this was a young Sasquatch, he had black hair all over his body like fur, but his face was human like and it had thin facial hairs, he looked like a young boy with facial hair, but its skin was a pale gray color. As he was trying to talk to me I was looking him over and he started to back up and turn away I looked at him and I said “NO FISH”. After I said this, the little one just stood there, and just then he I felt a pull on my reel and caught a fish. As I started to pull the fish in and take it off the hook, the little one gets closer to me and begins to try talking again. I have no idea what he is saying; it was like quick mumbles and chatters, and because of this, I got distracted, by mistake I dropped the fish in the water. All of a sudden it became upset,” Oh hell, I then understood what he was trying to say… it wanted the fish!

Now, even though the little one was upset he never showed any type of aggression towards me, but he seemed mad, when he turned this time away from me and walked away. I could tell for some reason he was really mad he did not get the fish. Now as I looked him over again. I could really tell its face was kind of a young man, and he had long human arms and hands. It also had ears, but covered in hair, but that shape of the head, you could see that it almost looks like a valley sloping up to a point at the crown of the head. This is the only thing besides their heads and hairy body that made them different then a regular human, that still gets me till today. All these years that have past, I still remember the bigger one and the little one get back together and talk with that weird language with sounds and signals. The little one started talking and pointed at me while he's talking to the bigger one I heard it say in his strange talk, like he was trying to copy the words I said and then I heard it say something similar to “NO FISH”, At least that’s what it sounded like.

This change the way I looked at Sasquatch, they stayed around for a long while, maybe two hours I think, and then the bigger one decided to head over to the other campers tables, while he went over another camper came over to me, he asked me, “is that a Sasquatch?” He was talking about the little one and took a picture and said I know what that is and I will save this photo for my children and when I am older, I will give it to them. The little one did not even notice the other camper taking the picture; it just stood watching the big one and did not take its eyes away. The Older one headed towards the tables where the other campers had their food and began stealing food; the campers saw him and yelled, “HEY YOU GET AWAY FROM OUR FOOD!” I think they thought it was a crazy bum living in the woods, It walked away with food and the little one followed and they just ate the food and went into the tree line from the direction they came, Whatever they are, these Sasquatch have some type of IQ, I will always remember how smart those two Sasquatch were.

It is a revelation, to hear such an incredible story, to think the possible intelligence of a creature that is not supposed to exist. In the end whether we believe this man’s story or not, we can look at the significance of what these two Sasquatch were able to do and see the possibility that what many of us believe, can demonstrate such highly evolve thinking. It may not be the same level as a man, if what happen that day is a small view of their closeness and evolution to ours, then it worth to continue this quest and give them chance to coexist with us, to help them thrive as we had the opportunity to become the Homo sapiens we are today.
