I have gotten hooked on Steve Isdahl’s YouTube channel “the facts by how to hunt”
He is a hunting guide in Canada. A while back, he shared his encounter story with Sasquatch. Then people started sending in experiences to him. It organically took off and he has a lot of content. He reads encounters sent in by viewers. Some you can tell is blarney, but some sounds like it can be plausible IMO.
If you ever are bored and are so inclined, watch some of his videos. Go back to the start of the whole Sasquatch topic.
Have I ever seen a Sasquatch, no. Do I know someone who has, yes. That person, like I would guess many others, are disinclined to share their experience, as it leads to scorn and ridicule. It took over 3 decades for that person to tell me. Just read over the responses here for examples of scorn or ridicule.
do i believe for sure or know they exist, no. Do I think their existence on this third rock from the sun is possible, yes.
Do I ever want to see one when in the woods by myself, heck no. Do I avoid the woods because of this, heck no.
