Elevation
Hi I am new to the board, but have long been curious about bigfoot. I recently moved here from Colorado. I've spent a lot of time camping all over the Western half of the U.S. am familiar with normal animal sounds and the wilderness although never had a BF experience. I've seen cougars, deer, elk, moose, and bears in the wild.

I moved here to come work for a company. One day a co-worker I didn't like too much(at the time) was talking about things...weird things going on around around his property.

Being a long-time BF enthusiast I got to talking with some of the stuff he has seen and it's all very consistent with everything I've found on the internet in this region.

He said mostly down by bottoms near his house he's seen a lot of 10ft high spaling trees that have had a lot of branches twisted off. Unexplainable to him.

This guy is an avid outdoorsman and hunter, about as redneck as it can get.

Other things...he had hired a man to work for him to chop wood. Apparently he was paying the worker pretty decent money but one day the worker flat-out quit on him and left permanently saying he didn't want to work there anymore because of two boogie men that were harassing him(he's Mexican so his English was limited). He had left behind pictures of his family and toys he had bought for them.

He told his employer that rocks were being thrown at him.

The guy I work with tells of similar experiences. He had been fishing one day early in the morning he said about 4-5 am where a backwash was very well-stocked with catifsh. He said he was enjoying his morning when large rocks were being thrown at him from out of no where. He said the rocks were preceeded by a "THUMP-THUMP-THUMP-THUMP," as if something was running at him and stopping then the rocks were being thrown at him. He said at first he thought he was hearing things but they started to get a lot closer so he left.

He returned to the same place the next day to fish again and all the fish were gone. ohmy.gif

Another weird instance he had was with his pickup truck. Apparently he and a friend of his were chopping some tree and he had left his work truck as he calls it unlocked and the driver's-door standing open. He told me his friend and himself had been drinking some beers and peeing in the same spot just on the other side of the door.

When they came back to the truck, the drivers-side door was pushed all the way forward. Where the two men had urinated mud had been smeared down the side of the passengers side of the door and a hole was dug into the ground. He claims he knows everything/everyone that comes and goes into and out of his property.

Other things...
He enjoys sitting out on his porch on warm summer nights. He has a Rhodesian Ridgeback dog, that he hunts with and is supposedly afraid of no animal. He says something he'll smell the BF smell...describes it as a cross between rotten-fish and rotten eggs. He said also during these times his dog will cower, want inside the house and he'll get the eerie feeling something is watching him....the kind of thing that makes the back of his neck stand up.

Also around his property he has noticed deer carcasses on occasion. Again, he's very familiar with outdoor creatures and says these dead deer carcasses are unlike anything else he's ever seen. He describes the dead bodies as being eaten out like a watermelon.

What else has he told me...oh this gets interesting. Apparently BF likes to barter.

His neighbor is a rich hairdresser for the local town and she has a pond in her yard. It's stocked with Koi, expensive Japanese fish that typically run $200-1000+ depending on the size. She told him she had noticed that Koi had started to disappear from their pond. At the same time these rocks and large cattle bones were being left near the pond. He said he has seen the both the rocks and the bones which he finds to be highly unusual. The rocks have some sort of geometric perfection to them. He claims he has spent a great deal of time in the area and down near the bottoms but has never seen those rocks. The cattle bones that were left were very large. Too large for any other animal like a dog to carry he said.

The other story he told me was once he helped give a neighbor a ride back to his house, which was somewhat far from his location. As a reward his neighbor gave him two 50-pound bags of sweet-potatoes. He left his truck down by the bottoms that night and walked home. The next day he noticed it was going to rain so he decided to go get his truck. He didn't want to leave it down by the bottoms because it gets very muddy and hard to get out. He said as he got to the bottoms one of the two 50 pound bags of sweet potatoes had been ripped open. He said it was very unusual because humans would normally just pull the rip-cord line and easily open it to get the potatoes out. Apparently all of the potatoes with the exception of about 8 in that bag were gone. He said if a critter were to have eaten them they would have left behind bits and pieces of potatoes here and there but didn't.

Here's where it gets interesting. In return, something had left him a large log, clam shells and crawfish claws as if it were bartering.

As of Wednesday of this week (11/3) I have asked him to show me around his property and he will. I plan to take pictures and hang-out with him overnight. Hopefully I'll find some evidence like the twisted tree branches and I'll take pictures and post them on here once I can get near a scanner.

Something is definitely going on down there and I plan to check it out. A lot of what drives me is pure curiousty...I just hope I don't get too frightened by anything.

There are more descriptions and details to his stories but these were the best ones.

Sounds like you may be on to something there.....keep us posted. You're lucky to be in Texas cause that state has some of the best BF researchers around.

Welcome to the forums and Texas.

Where were the location of these sightings?

Since I live in Houston and grew up near the Big Thicket that is where I spend most of my time.

I also plan on getting a kayak for some spring outing. There a few more of us that could get together for a trip after hunting season is over.
Elevation
Yeah I know. I would have gone to the conference in Jefferson but I work weekends so I couldn't go.

In the past few weeks I was very surprised to know this area was such a hot-spot for BF activity.

I have a friend who lives in Dallas and last week I asked her if she ever knew of any BF things. She grew up in East Texas near the Tyler/Longview area in the Big Piney woods area and got really worked up and passionate about similar things the guy I work with described happening to her, her friends and sisters when they went camping.

All the catfish was gone?! Sounds like bf is a redneck, too.

It sounds like this bf has settled into this area. And he's been nice enough to give you some clues about what he likes to eat. Wow! Would I love to be in that area. I'd have food baits and camera traps galore!

Good luck!

Welcome to the BFF Elevation! As stated before, Texas has some fantastic researchers, and I'd bet some of them would be happy to help you with anything you need. Please keep us posted on anything you find. smile.gif

I live in the Hunt County area. Which has had sightings in the past. The Sabine Creek and Sulphur River run through this area. Both have been known to be "BF-domain" locations," all across Texas from what I've read.

When I look at the woods at night, I look at them in a very different way.

He says during the night he'll hear crickets chirping and about maybe 3-5 Owls hooting at once...when the BF foul-odor smells pickup all the animals and bugs have known to go very quiet. He said it's at those moments his dog cowers and he feels something is watching him.

Another weird story he told me. He leaves his dog food bowls outside for the dogs to eat during the day near the house. He's woken up a few times during the day to fill his dogs bowls again and found them to be missing. He had no idea where they went.

He said one day he was walking around his property down near the bottoms and he found his dog bowls. The strange thing is, they were compressed inward, like something very strong did do use to make like a spigot to pour the dog food out easier to eat.

Also he never leaves his dogs out anymore. He said he had two dogs, both big hunting dogs and one of them had mysteriously vanished. He hasn't seen or found it for over two weeks. He's been very distraught over that.

Sounds familiar, where do you live? Need an assistant? I have some good audio, video, and motion cameras. Live near Austin, but will travel anywhere. Call David
@ (512)267-xxxx if interested.

BigTex I'd modify that to remove your number if I were you.....there are a lot of weirdos who frequent this sight..... PMing Elevation with the information would be a much better and safer course of action.

If you go and spend the night at your friends place you might consider leaving a pile of several apples (whole) out in the yard over night. Also, get yourself a motion activated cam corder (I bought a Sony Palm corder last year on Ebay for less then $60 including shipping) and set it up in a window pointed toward the apples... you never know what you might catch on film. And those Gen 1 night vision scopes are great too.. and less then $100. If I was closer to you I'd loan you mine. Best of luck and let us know.
Texas Tracker
Elevation, why don't you get your friend to submit a report to the BFRO and TBRC?

www.bfro.net
www.texasbigfoot.com

What county does your friend live in? Or which river basin?

We have research going on in several areas. I wonder if your friend is in one of those areas? We will be in the field this weekend. If your friend is close, I can make it a point to visit with him.
StacyInMI
Very interesting Elevation, welcome to the forums and thanks for sharing with us! Sounds like you could have a very promising research spot there. Keep us informed! smile.gif
Texas Tracker
One thing I noticed is that you said you live in Hunt County, but your description has you in "SE Texas." Hunt County is not southeast Texas. Hunt County is the home of Lake Tawakoni and the mouth of the Sabine River. BFRO and TBRC have conducted joint research in that area. We know the area VERY well.

Can you explain this? Is this just a typo or something?

And does your friend live in a different area? In what county is he experiencing these things?

Oops, changed it guess I don't know my directions.

But no he lives south of Greenville where I live. Haven't been to his place.

I don't have any high-tech gizmo's and probably can't afford them.

He doesn't have internet access so can't post his stories.

South...North, what's the difference? dry.gif

How many folks are you talking about here?

As many Sasquatch as there seem to be around there I don't think anyone would need any high-tech gizmo's.

He lives in Hunt County? Wood County? Delta County?

All three of those counties are not short on bigfoot anecdotes.

Unfortunately, I will be much further south this weekend. Perhaps I can put you (and your friend) in contact with another researcher in your area.

Feel free to PM me.

I'm pretty sure it is Hunt county.

I plan to go grab some kind camera or something at Wally-world and I am hoping the weather will hold out so I can check the bottoms out a little more.

Are these occurances along the Sabine River or one of its tributaries?
Elevation

Either that or the Sulphur River.

I think my best plan to attract it is to hit wood together...he mentioned his neighbor can attract it by hitting PVC piping together or something like that just before dark.

But he's also seen things consistent with the other pages...branches piled together on the ground, he thinks it sleeps on it..to give it a vantage point.

I'm not totally sure but I also think this is the best time of year to see it. I don't know if they are territorial or if they migrate but I think it's the latter.
clownboy
Wow! I'm really amazed. This is the best response I've ever seen the hoard give to a sighting. Nice to see only positive posts and everyone enthused. I hope this works out as it sounds very promising. Most of all I want to give everyone a big thumbup.gif for treating someone with respect and not gettting hung up on minor miscues that everyone seems to jump all over everytime. Sometimes I wonder if anyone else feels like that does more harm than good. Good luck with this ongoing encounter.
Blackdog
You don't read anything but the negative posts do you?

MY GOD I am so sick of that additude!!

That is not true and this new group mentality is making it worse. Pretty soon no one will be happy until Janice Coy is welcome here with open arms.
Chewy
The only things "negative" that I can see is the guy got the county location a little mixed up. But he's relocated from Co.

Other than that, I'd almost say it was overwhelmingly (almost too overwhelmingly) too good to be true. These are the things that I would expect in an ongoing series of events. None too farfetched in themselves, and all adding up to a fairly consistent bigfoot.

That being said, Elevation said that he has read some of the stuff here, and could have planned out a hoax...shoot, it could be another Bipto con-ifesto. But, right now, I'm willing to give the guy some rope.

Keep the reports coming, El! thumbup.gif
clownboy
Blackdog...why is it everyone here wants to throw the Coy name around like a football? This has nothing to do with Coy or any other case for that matter. I was simply stating that most new posts of encounters are harped on much more than supported. That's only an observation as I believe I was being positive as I stated I was delighted to see a great group response to this encounter. Maybe I'm wrong in my observation but if anyone else feels that way it must have some truth to it. I am in no way saying to hug and kiss every fanatic that says "I saw Bigfoot" but it does seem that alot of members are overly harsh the moment the detect anything they don't like about a report. It's like a school of Pirhanna that frenzy once the bleeding starts. Once again...that's only my observation so don't get so worked up over it. Opinions are like ummm...well you know...and we both have one!

P.S.
I believe that if you take the encounters like Green/Coy and ignore them rather than give them attention(Which is what they want) and mentioning them in posts(even Negitively) they will eventually go away like a bad penny.

that sounds like a really cool expedition your going on. good luck on fiding something. ill be wating for pictures. popcorn2.gif

Clownboy is right you know... We (or, at least I) tend to approach reported sightings with a little to much skepticism. But to be fair to myself, the reports that I considered to be false had red flags popping up everywhere (ie the kid in the corn field). But this report seems to be genuine and sincere. BTW I do want to say thanks to all for not attack... er, I mean questioning me when I stumbled upon this site looking for someone to tell my story to a few weeks ago. You guys could have given me a bad time but you didn't, and I really appreciate that. smile.gif

I agree with Blackdog ,sorry. to much alleged activity for an area not even known and second hand at the moment at that. It wouldn't change a thing if instead of Green/Coy he had said Marx,Wallace,Video Arts or any other of a number of less than what was originally reported or hoaxed posts.

As a general rule if something sounds too good to be true, then it is too good to be true.

Has Elevation pm'd anybody here with more information or offering an opportunity for independent verification? Not wanting anybody to break a confidence, just want to see where this is going.

(Was going to put a popcorn smilie here but it wouldn't work)

Since Elevation is still listed as a new member, it would not be possible for him/her to send PMs or emails through the forum.

Just a reminder. smile.gif

On the other hand, Texas Tracker did provide Elevation with the links he could use to get in touch with someone that could help him...IF he's looking to carry this any further. wink.gif

Welcome to the forums Elevation, and best of luck out there. Hopefully you'll hook up with one or more of the researchers that has available equipment.. One never knows- Maybe someone will luck out this time and at least get a 5 star rating blob pic.
wink.gif

I agree that your friend should make a report, he might feel better afterwards knowing he's not alone with his experiences..

The bartering.. is interesting. wink.gif
Elevation
Thanks guys. I know it's always tough to believe the newbie with forums. I'm on two other forums, one is car-related the other one hockey-related. Newbie are almost always the first people who lack credibility.

Tommorow is the big day, I plan on staying up tonight though to watch the election go down...so hopefully I won't be too exhausted by tommorow.

The other thing is, the weather isn't looking too good. I was hoping it would have stopped raining by Monday, but it has not...so this week I may not be able to get down to the bottoms where most of the stuff is supposed to happen because it will be too muddy.

But I still plan on calling him and check some stuff out.

He also told me his was joking around with his other neighbor about BF and he got the reply from his neighbor: "Whatever is down there, you leave it alone...it's not doing a damned thing wrong to you."

We'll see however. I'm a bigfoot believer, although I've never seen one myself so, I'd like to see the evidence.

I did get an email from another well-known researcher on this forum. I would probably like to get in touch with him at some time, but unfortunately I work weekends.

He and I agree with most people. I don't plan on killing the thing, if it exist, I also believe in conservation as does the guy who's going to show me around. But that doesn't mean I'm not going to encourage him to pack some heat if we get threatened. We'll find out though.

Here's another odd story he told me. On his property he has cows. He told me he spent a lot of time running barb-wire fencing for about a month. He told me he gets it quote: "Chicken-tight," meaning you could throw a chicken against it and it would slice it in two.

He said one day he noticed one of his cows was outside of his property. So he drove around looking for where it go out where he stumbled upon it's opening. He said nothing had cut his fence, he said it looked like something with massive strength pulled the fence apart.

When I saw this picture on the internet from perusing around and finding out info here, I printed the story out for him it freaked both me and himself out, especially since this "drawing" happenened in the same area some several years ago:



The other things that have been very consistent are the tree limbs being placed in patterns. He told me his son found a large stick that was about say5-7 inches wide in diameter and had been bored down to a fine-point tip. Apparently he still has it. It was placed in the bottoms on a tree. But he said it was too high up for a normal animal to put it there.

He also said from time to time he has seen feces. He said they look human-like but the piles are very large.

I have not been contacted via email or PM regarding the events described. Until I could get eyes and feet on site, and interview the witness(es), I would tend to view the whole situation circumspectly and with caution.

By the way, Elevation, weather such as you mentioned is ideal.

Oh and just to remind you, cattle are very much capable of popping a fence. I would absolutely not ascribe anything else to that situation unless there was some type of collateral evidence (tracks, unidentified hair, visual encounter, auditory encounter, etc.).

He also claims to have seen pieces of hair and stuff. As well as sounds he doesn't attribute to scarce Cougars, Owls, Bears, or Wolves in the area.

And the person who contacted me was the #1 guy...CW

Clownboy, the reason I threw Coy's name around was because of the blind acceptability her story generated in certain circles, you've seen it here; it was just an example of how people can get into the trap of being afraid to be critical. Speaking for myself I don't want the skeptical folks to quit posting their opinions here because they get spanked for having one. I'm not saying that some people don’t get over zealous in their criticism (that has definitely happened) but it isn’t like it’s a feeding frenzy every time someone posts an encounter… that is plain false.
When you post something praising “the hoard” (I hope that was a typo) for not being critical of “minor miscues” you’re criticizing the ones who have kept this board from being a repository for the hoaxers and jokers who post just to make fools out of us or to feed their ego because they can fool what has been the best public BF board on the internet. There was an instance where this happened recently (the Nebraska cornfield fable), I didn’t hear any complaints when those people were flushed out and banned.

As far as this story, I do have some problems with it… second hand stories, not knowing the location of the encounters, the co-worker doesn’t have internet access, the poster didn’t even know if he/she was in south or north Texas (I don’t count that as a minor miscue), too much activity… I counted 20 separate and unique descriptions of alleged BF encounters/evidence that just about cover the gamut of what you can find on the internet or in most books, and when help is offered excuses are given… maybe Craig or TT can work around this person’s schedule.
I’ll wait to see what happens in the future, until then I’ll remain happily skeptical.

Well as far as my location goes, I originally posted SE Texas, because hey...geographically speaking Texas is in the SE part of the United States. A minor mistake I posted that some of you now look at through a magnifying glass then it turn looked at through a microscope.

Regionally speaking, it's not of course.

Internet isn't something everyone has.

You don't have to believe me if you don't want to. I feel this is the best chance I have to see some evidence or maybe have an encounter. We'll have to see about that.

Either I'll come back on Thursday to post...this is what I saw/experienced...or I saw nothing unusual.

I can take it. I've been on the internet and in forums enough to know that people like to talk a good game, and insult you whenever possible. I also work in Aviation where the people I work around like berate you at every turn, something tenfold.

I can also talk crap as good as the best can. I try to remain cool though.

But I still stand by what's been said regarding his experiences.

You can generally tell with people when they are lieing and when they are drop-dead serious, just by the way their body language is.

BTW, how long have you known your friend and how well do you know him? Spoofing out of staters is a time honored tradition in these parts. I'm like Blackdog, just about every facet of Bigfootery has been touched on in this case. Makes it sound like either a dream case or someone has boned up on Bigfoot behaviour.

But, as I said, good luck. The rain should produce some good track casting opportunities if you've really got something there.

Until then... popcorn2.gif

I'm like Blackdog, just about every facet of Bigfootery has been touched on in this case. Makes it sound like either a dream case or someone has boned up on Bigfoot behaviour.

But, as I said, good luck. The rain should produce some good track casting opportunities if you've really got something there.

Until then... popcorn2.gif

In all hoensty I haven't known him very long, and sometimes he is known to bluff his stories.

But like I said, he gets real serious about his BF evidence.

I'll look at it with a skeptical, but optimistic view and go with it from there.

Fair enough. Just don't be so open minded that your brain falls out.

Waiting for Thursday's report.

Why would you consider the weather to be ideal?  Why do you mean approach it with caution?

He also claims to have seen pieces of hair and stuff.  As well as sounds he doesn't attribute to scarce Cougars, Owls, Bears, or Wolves in the area.

And the person who contacted me was the #1 guy...CW

It's just I consider the kind of weather that you described as being conducive to wildlife activity. I prefer to be out when it's a little messy and muddy and wet. Humans aren't normally out in those conditions. That's actually when I like to go.

Regarding caution, it's nothing personal. It's just that a report of sasquatch activity reported over a forum can be suspect, and until an actual witness and site can be investigated, it's advisable to remain circumspect. Again, it's nothing personal. smile.gif

Also bear in mind that in the BFRO and TBRC, we sort through a ton of pure, unadulterated CRAP every week and I don't know about a report until I've been able to talk personally to the witness and, if it's a relatively recent activity, go onsite.

Initially, your report sounds interesting, but I can't really say one way or the other about any of it until I can evaluate in person what is going on. smile.gif

If Craig has contacted you, that's good. biggrin.gif

Well it looks like today isn't going to work out. It's raining too much here. I need to be able to get out and walk around, plus I am not liking the idea of driving on a dirt road in my Nissan when it's wet-out. I'll shoot for next week.
