There is no rhyme or reason to this line of questioning. Just a very broad survey.
*Protection orders may be applied for and will be promptly denied. There is currently no system in place to report or file grievance against a Bigfoot who may have abused you physically, mentally, emotionally or otherwise.
1. Though my encounter occurred during a BFRO expedition, I honestly had no expectation of encountering a bigfoot. My friend and I joined a BFRO expedition simply for the experience of saying we've been with professional squatchers. So, I suppose I could answer the question with a half yes and half no. It was a bigfoot expedition, but I really had no expectation of coming across one (or it coming across us which might be more accurate).
ReplyDelete2. It was not love at first sight.
3. At the time, my first instinct was to get out of the area. I've never felt more helpless in its presence. I've been to war. I've been under enemy fire. However, I can honestly say being in the presence of something that large caused my "flight instinct" to trigger quicker than anything I've ever experienced. There's really no better to describe the feeling than to say I felt so entirely helpless in its presence.
4. As it happened I don't think I had time to process what was in front of me other than the fact that it was larger than any animal/being I've ever come across in the forest. As time has gone by since the experience I've pieced together the entire experience (what lead to it, what happened afterward, etc.) to confirm in my own mind that I was escorted/stalked by a bigfoot.
5. I'm returning to the area this weekend for the first time in over a year.
6. I don't think it is an unsolved mystery. The experience confirmed for me what I already suspected that these creatures are very real.
7. I wish I had controlled my emotions better. If I could go back and do the entire thing over again, I would have stayed calm and attempted to interact with the creature if possible as it seemed to be interested in the four guys who made up my group.
8. It's size. I've never seen something so large in my life. Also, its ability to smoothly and effortlessly navigate the forest was notable as well.
9. As I've recounted the experience with more seasoned investigators and people more knowledgeable than me on the nature of the species I've been encouraged to receive confirmation that its behavior was typical of other experiences.
10. The encounter has emboldened me to share my knowledge in the existence of these creatures with others...and frankly, it's made me less concerned with my "reputation" for being a "believer."
Thank you.
DeleteThank you, Tom for taking the time to share your experience. Good luck this weekend.
