‘I’m a Logger and Bigfoot Terrorized Us’ – BIGFOOT ENCOUNTER STORY

.
.

In the fall of 2022, Frank, a seasoned logger, found himself deep in the Olympic Peninsula’s forgotten woods, a place where silence reigned supreme. For thirty years, logging had been his life, a tradition passed down through generations. But this journey was unlike any he had ever embarked on. It would change him forever.

Frank led a small crew: Dave, the meticulous foreman; Mac, the old-timer with an instinct for danger; and the kid, a naive but hardworking 22-year-old. They were contracted for a special job to clear a hidden valley of old-growth Douglas fir, untouched since the 1970s. But reaching it required carving a new road through five miles of treacherous terrain. The isolation hit them hard as they set up camp, surrounded by towering trees that seemed to hold their breath, waiting.

The first week passed with strange occurrences. Tools moved overnight, and the absence of wildlife unnerved them. Mac, ever watchful, sensed something amiss, while the kid reported hearing footsteps outside his tent. Dismissed as nerves, these signs foreshadowed the terror to come.

On the fourth day, they discovered an elk, its neck broken and body twisted unnaturally. Mac’s voice trembled as he declared, “This ain’t no predator.” A tension settled over the camp, and they kept their rifles closer, knowing they were not alone.

The second week brought a new horror. At night, they heard rhythmic wood knocking, echoing through the darkness, a communication that sent chills down their spines. The feeling of being watched became palpable, and one night, heavy footsteps circled their camp, always just beyond the light. Panic set in as they discovered massive, human-like footprints near the creek. Mac whispered the word that hung in the air: “Sasquatch.”

The atmosphere grew thick with dread, and then came the smell—a foul, nauseating stench that invaded their camp. They were being hunted, trapped in a game they didn’t understand. The psychological toll was immense, and when the kid vanished one day, fear turned to desperation. His frantic boot prints led to a violent struggle, but only the larger, ominous footprints remained.

That night, their camp was attacked. Rocks, as heavy as bowling balls, rained down, destroying their trucks and their hope of escape. The creatures were toying with them, showing their power. Frank and the remaining crew were left with no choice but to flee, abandoning their gear and the contract that had brought them into this nightmare.

As they navigated the forest, they stumbled upon a hidden cave, revealing a collection of human artifacts—trophies of past encounters. Among them was the kid, alive but traumatized, his leg broken. They escaped during a torrential downpour, the storm providing cover from their pursuers. But the creatures were relentless.

In a desperate act of bravery, Mac sacrificed himself, charging toward the larger creature to allow Frank and Dave to escape with the kid. They fled, hearts pounding, knowing they had witnessed something beyond comprehension.

Days later, they were rescued, but the truth of their experience was buried under corporate lies. Mac was said to have died in an accident, and the kid’s trauma was brushed aside. Frank, forever changed, left the logging life behind, haunted by the memory of what he had seen.

Years passed, and Frank tried to forget, but the woods never truly left him. He heard echoes of wood knocking at night, a reminder of the creatures that watched from the shadows. The truth of what happened in those woods was a burden he carried alone, a secret that gnawed at his soul.

Then, in 2023, news broke of a construction crew in Northern California harassed by large, aggressive animals. The location was eerily close to where Frank had encountered the creatures. He realized the truth was still hidden, and the danger was far from over.

Now, as he shares his story, Frank hopes to shed light on the existence of these intelligent beings. They are not monsters, but fellow inhabitants of the earth, deserving of recognition and protection. The forest remembers everything, and perhaps one day, humanity will be ready to acknowledge its secrets.
