Hello and welcome to the program UFO Warning.
In this episode we're talking about Oregon loggers Bigfoot
encounter. That's correct, Oregon loggers
Bigfoot encounter. And I know some people maybe
think that talking about Bigfoot strays a little bit from the
topic of UFO's. But I have this suspicion that
these Bigfoot are connected with UFO's because so many times we
see them in connection with UFO's.
I don't really see these things so much as a flation, But blood
animal is maybe some sort of creature that is shifting from
their dimension into our dimension.
Yes. While they're here, maybe they
do take on this flation blood character, You know, we have
reports that their DNA has been sampled.
Of course, it always comes back as something that can't be
determined what it is. Or it could possibly be an
animal of some sort, not particularly diagnosed
specifically it as a preparer or deer.
There's always this kind of, I don't know, sketchy or that
surrounds it. But there's so many reports of
these things and they seem to be, like I said, more like some
sort of an ET character is they fade in and out of our own
reality. I don't see these things as
being this large population of animals that's supported by the
environment, although there are a lot of wide open spaces out
there in Oregon that could do just that.
Another thing I find really interesting about the topic of
Bigfoot is how emotionally invested people become in it.
Not so much the people that believe in it, but the people
that are afraid to believe in it.
I have to tell you about a personal experience I had a
while back. I'm playing poker.
I like to do that sometimes. And the young guy dealing the
game, we got the chatting a little bit and he he told us
that he was from Oregon. So you know me, I had to ask.
I said, have you ever seen a Bigfoot?
And he very seriously told me yes, I think I have twice with
that. There was an eruption.
At one end of the table was some people getting really loud and
saying, oh, that's stupid, That can't possibly be.
They've never found any bodies. And I said, hey guys, you know,
I'm not, I'm not talking about religion or politics here.
I'm just asked the young man a simple question and he gave me
an honest answer. I couldn't.
I couldn't talk him down. There was just so much negative
emotion around their belief system, and it wasn't based on
their political views or religious views or anything like
that. It was just this need to not
believe and Bigfoot which this is so strange to me how such a
which I think is an interesting and fascinating topic can
sometimes bring out the the angriest debunkers that you will
ever find. Well the the young fellow did
tell me in fact he said I think I saw a couple of them.
He told me that he was with a cousin I think he said camping
deep in the in the woods there in Oregon.
And he said, you have to understand.
He said you can just go for miles and not see another
person. And he said, really, people say
that they these things couldn't survive.
But he said there's a lot of plant material there that they
could eat and live on. And he said plenty of fresh
water. And he said you could literally
walk for days in some of these places and not see enough of
another person. So he said, yes, I think that
that it could exist there as a flesh and blood animal.
Well, that's an interesting concept too.
Anyway, just kind of getting that out of the way there.
I still find it a fascinating topic that deserves to be
covered and deserves some serious attention.
Now this article comes to us from phantomsandmonsters.com and
dated Sunday September 11th 2022.
So just about a year ago. The title says Loggers hailing
Bigfoot Encounter in Southern Oregon.
It's got a picture here of this very beautiful area and the guy
talking the little video here says his name is Lou Strickler
and I'll put the link up to buy me a coffee website and go there
and check it out. Looks like a pretty neat site,
it says. A Southern Oregon logger
describes his harrowing encounter with a pair of
Bigfoot. His attempt to get a photograph
of one of the creatures nearly caused him to be attacked.
And it begins by saying, quote, this happened to me in the
mountains of Southern Oregon. I'm 48 years old and have spent
my life hunting, a fishing, camping and for the last years
working in the wood mountains, Wood slash mountains, that is.
You can't live in Oregon and not, I've heard, a Bigfoot.
It's like a Canadian never having heard about most hockey.
However, minus a possible encounter with one at age 13,
I've I've actually never seen one.
That is until last year. I've worked in a particular area
of the wilderness for two years by myself.
The first year was uneventful, and in the woods you'd hear
normal wildlife sounds. Last year in late February,
however, that all changed. I was in one of the spots in the
mountains riding a chainsaw. I had just filled a tree.
I made one, cut into it and off to the West I heard four
thundering blasts like something took a big solar piece of wood
and tried to break a tree in half with it.
It was meant to be loud. It sounds like knocking to me.
I immediately stopped and looked in the direction it came from.
It sounded like it may have been off in the distance a bit, maybe
like it echoed from somewhere off the mountain.
I went back to work. Approximately 30 minutes later I
had moved 80 yards east on the slope and fell another tree.
Again. I made one cut into it when
suddenly there are four more loud blasts from directly behind
me from the South. Whatever it was, it had followed
me and got up behind me. This time I flipped around
looking up the hill briefly and then just picked up my saw and
left that area for the day and went home.
Whatever it was I felt didn't want me there.
Well, maybe this thing felt like this person was, you know,
invading their area, cutting down their trees, and this is
the kind of reaction I would expect.
He goes on and says about a week later I was in a different spot
on the mountain. I was cutting firewood and had
my three month old Sherman Shepherd with me.
She was always at my feet everywhere I went, which will
come into play here shortly Anyway, I fell out and cut some
standing silver madrone about 30 yards off the road.
I was packing as big of logs as I could throw on my shoulder
down the bank above the road, pitching them down to the load
to load in my truck. I had made several trips and
decided to go down the six foot embankment to the truck and grab
a cold one. As I climbed up the bank, I
looked down the tree line to my E At around 80 yards away I see
what looks to be a large redhaired silhouette standing
next to a large fir tree. The sun was off to its back and
lit up part of the left shoulder, the head, its right
shoulder, right arm and leg. I could not really see anything
except an outline of reddish brown hair that the sun was
hitting from behind. I wasn't really sure what I was
looking at, but eventually I found out anyway.
I'm thinking maybe my mind's playing tricks on me and I go
back to work. I made a few trips packing logs
one at a time on my shoulder and decided to stop and look back
down there again. Now look, I have to tell you, if
that had been me and I saw what might possibly be a Bigfoot
leading up against a tree, I'd have been out of there.
Also, he talks about having his dog.
Well, you know, I've heard lots of stories with these.
Bigfoot really do not like dogs. Maybe they see these things as
wolves and as a natural predator.
I don't know. He goes on and says, however,
this time I don't see it. I'm still convinced I'm not
actually seeing anything in particular.
I make a few more trips down to the truck and I look down there
again. This time, at that exact moment,
my dog starts growling. I looked down at her and she's
facing the opposite direction. I am growling into the woods.
That was freaking unnerving. I looked and I see nothing.
But once again I packed up and leave immediately.
Yeah, you wouldn't have had to tell me twice.
Goes on and says. Now things start to get scary.
Several days later I'm heading up the mountain.
I have earbuds in listening to a podcast and it was a dreary,
overcast morning. It is around 8:00 to 9:00, so it
was daylight, but not like a bright sunny day.
I came around the corner that falled a Little Rock ledge and
then flattened out for an opening.
Something caught my attention to the left.
I'm still at this thing thinking what the blank is this.
As I approach, I'm looking right into the face of something that
my brain registers as a blanking gorilla.
I'm about parallel with it when I realized what I was looking
at. There was no doubt that it was
100% a Bigfoot that was squatted down.
I very clearly see this animal as it was only 60 feet or so off
the road. It was black and collar and
looked like it was covered in four inches of dreadlocks.
The hair was matted looking and the arms and shoulders were
massive. It had black eyes, a kind of
conical shaped forehead, and it was kind of a Gray blue collar.
The brow Ridge was very pronounced, as well as his
cheekbones. It had forward facing nostrils
and just looked like pure evil to me.
I find it fascinating that he observes this thing and the
emotional impression that he gets is evil.
OK, that's that's what he's feeling, it says.
If he is intuitively using his emotional intelligence to assess
the situation, He goes on and says this all happened so fast
that it took my brains a few seconds to think, to stop and
get a better look and take a picture.
I have to tell you, folks, taking a picture would not be my
first priority at that point, he says.
At that point, I had driven by it.
There was a place to turn around my F-250 just ahead.
So I hit the gas and sped up to it, turned around and headed
back while ripping out my earbuds and getting the camera
ready. However, it was gone.
It couldn't have taken me two minutes, but it was gone.
So I drove back and forth through this area probably four
or five times, searching, looking for anything that may
have possibly tricked my mind. Somehow, however, there's
nothing even remotely close to what I saw.
This guy's got a lot more Bravada than I do.
I've heard so many times about these Bigfoot actually being
able to run and catch up with vehicles.
I don't know how fast these things can run, but I wouldn't
want to be the one to find out. Goes on and says so.
I ended up telling a couple of people about this.
One was my brother, and he asked why I didn't get a picture.
I tried to explain. By the time I processed what I
was looking at, I was literally passing it by and then it took a
second to think about getting a picture.
By that time it was gone. Okay Now things really got scary
to me. Exactly 3 days later I was back
up on the mountain cutting firewood and had my German
shepherd with me. I was in the spot on the
mountain that led to a dead end. I turned around and pulled off
the side of this old dirt mountain Rd.
There's an area full of standing dead madrone.
Around 100 yards below this road was an old regrowth area, a
bunch of 8 foot tall Douglas fir trees down there.
I'm cutting some wood maybe 30 feet from the road when I
noticed something black in between two of the small Douglas
fir trees. I see this black thing and
immediately think it's the black Bigfoot I saw previously.
I think about my brother questioning me to us as to why I
didn't get a picture. So in a moment of courage, which
I soon regretted, I thought I'm going to get a picture.
I walked back up to the truck, grabbed my semi auto 12 gauge,
put three extra double odd buckshot rounds in my breast
pocket, my overalls, took up my cell phone and got ready for a
picture. Now I don't know, I mean I'm not
a big time hunter, but I'm not sure Buckshot's going to do
anything to something the size of one of these Bigfoot.
I mean, you might get lucky with a 12 gauge slug even then.
To me it's like you're shooting at your own risk.
I would not recommend it, and also if it was some kind of a
prankster out there, it would be horrible to have shot some
lunatic in a Bigfoot costume. But my real concern would be
getting physical with one of these things.
I'm not thinking that it's a good idea, in my opinion, to get
aggressive. If you would come across one of
these things, maybe better off to observe and let him quietly
pass, that's just me, I guess. I'm a pacifist, he says.
I'm headed back there and was about halfway when I looked down
at my feet to check on my dog. She wasn't there, so I turned
around and she was sitting watching me from beside the
truck. So I called her name and she
didn't move. At that same time I heard four
steps from down below me where I'd been headed to get a
picture. These steps were heavy and broke
back and broke branches on the ground with every step.
I swung around that way and at that moment from over the truck,
I heard something I'd never heard before.
I have a hard time explaining it.
It was a sequence of sounds that almost sounded apelike, with
some suction like clicking sounds thrown in.
At that moment my heart sink into my stomach and it all came
together. I was surrounded, no doubt the
black thing. I just.
I just heard take four steps. It was the same beast I had just
looked right into the face of three days before.
There was no doubt that the red haired one was above me.
Holy blank. I froze for a moment, then
started sounding like a crazy man.
I literally verbalized I'm sorry, I'll not try to approach
you anymore. I'm going to put my gun down and
just need to pick up this wood. I cut and I'm leaving.
So I did. I got back up to the truck and I
lent the 12 gauge shotgun up against it.
I loaded up the wood and my stuff and left.
Good idea, my friend, he says. I didn't go back to that area
for a while and when I did it was like the mountain was back
to normal. The wildlife and the sounds were
there. I have no doubt that my drive to
get a picture and to show my brother nearly got me killed.
If I'm ever in that situation again, there will be zero chance
that I try to get closer in order to take a picture.
No blanking way. I just think that is a great
story. It just seems so heartfelt as
this person just writes their account of meeting this Bigfoot
out there in the this heavy timber, this wooded area in
Oregon. I have no doubt in my mind these
things are out there. Like I said, personally I lean
toward these things being some sort of the inter dimensional
creature, Maybe this phase in and phase out, but that doesn't
mean that they can't take on this physical shape and present
a real danger to somebody who might try to attack them or harm
them in some way. The mystery of the Bigfoot I
think is one of the is one of these things that is somehow
connected to the UFO phenomena and this whole paranormal thing.
It deserves a lot more research. Until next time, this is UFO
Warning. Over and out.
