Full Version: Broken trees
Have found an area with several trees broken. Trees average 6 inches across. Thought nothing of it at first but the spacing between them caught my attention. They are about 50 ft. +/- apart and follow the bank of a farm pond along its South / Southeast edge for about a quarter mile. At first I thought it was due to the wind but not all were felled in the same direction but all are consistant at the heighth of the break, 5 ft. The tree line around the farm is somewhat thin with open fields on most sides but all fields are relatively small and surrounded by heavily wooded areas. Have not seen any other breaks close to these. Spoke with land owner and he has paid no attention to the trees or has any other info to add. Has anyone found similar breaks or have any ideas / comments on the matter? Would also like to know if anyone has tried "clearing" an area where BF activity might be suspected in order to leave substrate material suitable for a foot print to be left.
On a high ridge top(high for western PA) area that has been getting ufo/bigfoot reports since the 70's. We have found trees in one area,that were bent over,all in the same direction(downhill) and in an almost staight line running diagonally down the hill. Trees that were 4 or 5" in diameter,and about 12 to 15' tall.Spaced aproximately 20' apart We found about 12 of these trees.
We have been finding impressions in the mud and snow that look to be 14 and 18" foot prints all arround this area. And have had reported BF sightings there in the last few years.
We are still looking into this area.

In the woods behind my folks house, there is a line of 4-6 in. diameter pine trees that are bent over, all about the same height, and looking all the world like a "trail" . The trees are in an almost straight line, running along under the canopy for about 75 yards(this is in an area of small white pines, growing under and among a group of large pines over 100 feet tall.) Never really thought anything of it until now. Still don't really think it has anything to do with sasquatch, but the resemblance to other, similar alleged evidence is interesting.
I’ve been seeing lots of broken trees, video taped most of them…
But I have found no consistency in the way they were broken… most have been snapped (2-5 inch dia.) but some appear as though they have been twisted…
I have also recently seen many smaller trees bent over, almost touching the ground… but this was in an area of recent snow-melt, and I suspect most of those trees were pulled down under a heavy snow load.
This is the time of year when you find lots of downed trees blocking access roads to the more remote areas… I have been stymied several times recently by a large tree blocking the road… it can make for a very difficult turn-around… and if you don’t have 4-wd, you are sunk… or you have to back-up as much as a mile, downhill, backwards… not much fun, except maybe for Sas watching you take 20 minutes and take your life in your hands just to turn your truck around… ha ha Sas, very funny…
But I have wondered, will Sas intentionally push over trees to block off roads?

Cool stuff. Needless to say if you see imprints around that fit sas tracks.....
Otherwise how do you really know for sure?
unless you get other evidence besides it... like a child with a Polaroid who is trying to stick a picture she took into your hand.

Thats what I've been sayin for awhile SR. I found some awhile back that could have been squatch breaks (and was informed that they most likely were) but I just can't buy into it.If I regarded those as trail markers or such,I would have to also count the other 100+ odd breaks and twists as such also.Do I know why 4" or more dia. tree limbs break and fall off.? no.but if I attributed everyone of them to a Bf ,I'd spend an awful lot of time going through the woods looking for more breaks that have no explanation,instead of looking for something a little more .....tangible,as evidence.Like you said however if that evidence is in conjunction with something else maybe I'll start paying a little more attention to them.Heres a funny thought they're caused by squatches in groups working out by having "pull up " contests.There an image to stick in your head.

I have to admit I have a problem with the number of tree breaks and bent trees that are being atributed to Squatch. I find these in the woods all the time, all over the place, and I really belive they are natural wind/ice/snow artifacts, for the most part. Even the line of bent trees I found, I have no reason at all to think they are in any way related to squatch. But, if I just took a pic of them and posted it to many of the sites, the pic would without doubt be deamed sasquatch related almost immediatly. Now, this is NOT to say that some of these things may not be the result of sasquatch(like has been said, when other indications are present), but like the infamous blob photos all over the place, a pic of a tree hanging over a road, or snaped off back in the woods, or even of trees leaning in a rough pyramid shape(this is, believe it or not, a natural occourance not as unusual as one may think), just does not constitute proof of anything for me, without cooberating evidence.

Yeps guys I be agreeing. There is soo much out there that has 50 reasons for lookiing that way. But now if we can get some images where there is some footprints or something that would at least strongly point to the breaks being that from the big guy. (yeah I know another repeated profound statement. )
Dr. John Bindernagel in Vancouver has a website with a bunch of tree breaks. He is putting in the time with this and it may well be worth the time taking a peek. I am hitting the hay but I can retrieve an url sometime if somebody else doesn't beat me to it. I just noticed he was collecting images. What ea image represents or who its associated with, I dont know if that kind of information is on there or not. But it sure is interesting. If I repeated this too after it was talked about oops, guess I am on a roll. Speaking of rolls...
naw, I guess I will wait for some fresh ones in the morning.

Y'know I have seen a deadfall once out towards Arcadia that looked out of place on one of the trails.No stump. no other trees large enough in the immediate area to account for it.hmmm...why not.there have been reports of a sas "covering" his tracks behind him.so why not also wouldn't he slow us down to give himself time to vacate the area.I'm not saying thats why the dead fall was there,just a possibility I hadn't considered before...Now see what you've done RB? makin me use my brain this late at night .
