Bigfoot - a true personal story

I spend one day relaxing in the woods in AK and now this....

If you hadn't run away from that stupid dog all would have been fine.

I do have to wonder about the smell.

Oh my. I know it's late. But when I saw the topic of this 'true personal story' was about Bigfoot.

This is what instantly came to mind.....

Maybe i drive out to AK and we camp there; by those ruins if you can still find them; what do you say, NT? Maybe get on googlemaps and point-out where this was? I wanna go there.

Sure! Looks like Google Maps took this picture during the winter, so you can see more terrain under Satellite View.

So the old Lodge we lived in is at : 62.518572, -146.719792

The beginning of that trail is right across the lake at : 62.521092, -146.720822 (the old ruins are in that clearing between that trail and the lake, if they're not all gone by now)

The trail curves around to the left along that ridge line, and comes down into that swamp. The bigfoot was across it from me at : 62.522032, -146.724426, running due North.

Bo was caught in that trap at : 62.520671, -146.742353

It's been a LONG time - because you're old - but have you thought of reporting it to BFRO?

It is more of a musk, really. LOL

I never did report it to anywhere 'official' because it seems most of those seem hoaxy. I don't want to be involved in some bullshit media circus with some nutjob who is only looking to get attention.

There was no way I was going to stick around when Bo charged the other way! I was a pretty speedy 12 year old, and I was properly motivated to give a world class performance!

It's impossible to describe the smell. I say skunk because that smell has a certain heavy musk to it along with the pungent quality... but this was a heavier, muskier, oily kind of funky smell. I was glad that Bo came back smelling like that, or my Dad would have written it off to an overactive 12 year old's imagination and the whole family got to smell it as we tried to get the dog free of it. It took several days and several Dawn dishsoap washings to finally make him tolerable to be around.

Consider BFRO - they are probably the most-respectible. You're a solid witness, and a solid story.

I was referring to Boogyman running away as part of his comment about a day in AK woods. I can sure understand your running away after seeing and smelling that thing. I don't doubt your story, I consider you a credible person. I too have to wonder how a creature like that could avoid being trapped or killed for hundreds of years not to mention remains not found anywhere. The smell seems to be a give away for when it's near.

If you smell it again go for a selfie with it.

It's been 31 years since that event... not sure it'll do much good, but I guess it wouldn't hurt to add my story to their database.

I never thought of using Google Maps to that story, good call Darin.

Did you guys pull it up and look? Pretty cool that the resolution is so high, you can see snowmachine tracks everywhere and the trail and the swamp.

The only time I seen Big Foot was when I woke up with my Ex wife at her mothers house, it was horrible ugly as hell and then I heard my ex call her mom
