π Description
Hello there, I would like to share with you an experience i once had regarding a creature in who's existance,that up to that time i was extremely skeptical of, to say the least. I am no longer a skeptic. In fact i am now a true believer in the ever illusive ape man creature of the pacific northwest known as sasquatch. Picture this: I am driving from Hope to Princeton with my sister and a friend, the year is 1969 and about this time of year, jan. there is a wisp of very dry snow blowing low across the road in front of us.It is about 3 am,not a house or a light or a car around for miles and one of those nights that is so cold that a person wouldn't even want to stop for a piss for fear of turning into a human ice cube. one thing for sure as there is no snowballs in hell,and that is we are not apt to see some fool out here at this time of night, in this kind of cold, and in this isolated location running around in a monkey suit. What happened next is etched in my mind for all time. A creature,definitely not a bear and even more definitely not a human walked across the road from left to right .Starting fromthe time it came into view of my headlights until it went out of view of my lights was about six to eight seconds. I stopped right where i thought the exact spot was that he crossed.We saw no more of him. I, needless to say did not get out to investigate this creatute as i was rivitted with a combination of fear and a strange sense of almost giddy uphoria of a nature that is hard to describe. We sat there for a few minutes asking each other if we actually saw what we saw or were we all crazy?We decided finally to believe that we saw what we saw, and what we saw was a creature well over the height of a tall man, say seven to eight feet , kind of greyish in color with very long arms, thick torso,slanted back apelike forehead,walking with long deliberate like strides. At one point he turned in our direction but not as a person would by merely turning the head but by turning the upper part of the upper body as well. the only video i have of this is stored in the memory of my mind. I would like to say , only to the few people out there that have had an experience like mine , that my heart goes out to you in knowing that like me , you can't share it with your friends or family or anyone because you know that even if thay tell you that they believe what you say you saw,you know deep inside that they do not. Oh well , i don't begrudge these people because i know that being a skeptic myself , and if the tables were turned i would be and was a nonbeliever. Now i do believe.
