My only weird brush with nature was about ten years or so ago on FL 16 down by the Camp Blanding Nature Preserve near Starke, FL. My in-laws own several houses on Kingsley Lake there, and we were down visiting. I was driving to the store to get some stuff for dinner, and I saw something walking towards the road from the woods. Having grown up in PA, that usually means a deer is about to wander out, so I started slowing down.
It turned out to just be a panther, and it was the first time I had ever seen one. It was all black, and frigging huge! From nose to tail, he was about the width of a lane, and he walked right through my headlight beams and disappeared into the palmetto bushes on the other side of the road. It was pretty cool, but I knew there are a lot of panthers in Florida so it didn't strike me as particularly odd to see one. A couple of years later my wife and I were at a farmer's market and a panther rescue group had a couple of cats there to raise funds, and aside from being tan and not black they looked pretty much like the cat that I saw at Camp Blanding.
A little after that I was watching Discovery and one of those monster or mystery shows came on and the subject was reported sightings of big black cats. Turns out there have been lots of reports of large black cats but according to scientists there are no such thing in the wild. Panthers can be tan or white if they are an albino mutation, but there is no such thing as an all black one, and anyone who sees one is likely seeing a large house cat or something else. Hate to differ with them, but I saw one plain as day walk across FL 16 about 20 feet in front of my car.

Very funny!

Hiking in the Northeast Kingdom in the summer of 2012 and sat down on a rock outcropping to have a snack and after about a minute there was a rustling sound, and a sound like dirt and pebbles flying and landing behind me about 10 yards or so. I slipped out the ole K-BAR knife and slumped down to the ground and turned uphill to see what was coming. Not a damn thing there. I waited....and waited.... listening and hearing my heart pounding. Nothing. Sat back up and finished the snack. As I got up to leave the same sound again in another direction, same distance. I'm like, WTF! I looked and looked at the brush and stuff over there but nothing. I waited again. So iv'e been on this snack break now for like 25 minutes and i'm cooling off, so I want to get going. I walked as quietly as I know how, away from that spot, and get around 40 feet away and I suddenly get showered with stones and dirt. Man...I went apesh*t for a second..pulled the Glock...hid back of another mound of rocks and stuff....sweeping all over for a target...heart about to fly out of my chest. A freakin woodchuck pops up 20 feet away and looks at me solemnly. I got to say I got weak kneed and sat the hell down and laughed my fool head off so hard I had tears coming out. There must have been a colony of the little sh*ts digging holes all around there. Pretty funny now but a drawer changing experience then..

Bigfoot is the result of extra-terrestrial aliens interbreeding with the loch ness monster.

I have heard some really strange stuff in the woods,
I can't be sure what I've seen, some really weird stuff I've heard too...
With thousands of reports every year & numerous strange videos & photos
{usually fuzzy/blurred thou}
but never a body, makes you wonder...
Not sure it's not possible, but would be pretty damn cool, to being proved real...LOL
They've been part of Indian folklore, tales or stories, for thousands of years...
Not just in America, but all around the world...
Thousands of people have claimed, filmed & photographed or recorded,
to have seen/heard something they couldn't identify, a bipedal or hominid type ape like creature
that wasn't a bear, deer, wolf, mountain lion, moose, muskox, bison etc., that walked on 2 feet upright...
Strange sightings, who knows how many are people like Bruzilla messing/hoaxing with people...
I'd suspect far more are a prank of some kind, but have an open mind, I know I've heard &
I've seen a few strange things, that I couldn't identify as any species I knew, for sure...
That doesn't mean I believe in Sasquatch {except the WH kind...LOL}, but anything is possible...
The Silverback Mountain Gorilla went undetected for thousands of years,
even in modern times until the 1970's...
Cryptozoology is a strange field...
Some weird things have been found, that were allegedly extinct long ago...
I do like Finding Bigfoot show, I laugh allot...
I think some of the comments are really stupid, the calls are a little strange too,
Rene {spelling?} is a weird & rude lady too, people believe what they want to believe...
I'm of the thinking I need to see a body, or someone I know & trust say they have photos etc...
I know a few people that have claimed to have seen some really strange stuff,
it doesn't mean it's a BigFoot thou either, it could be some defect or other anomaly of nature...
I thought I saw something that we {me a friend John} couldn't identify,
while driving down a mountain road in the middle of nowhere, here in the Sierras,
{it turned out to be a pile of truck tires stacked up & a tree limbs behind just in the right place},
it was really late at night with bad lighting & pitch black dark,
it was in bear country & your mind will play tricks on you too...
We were both armed to the hilt too...LOL
We saw it the next morning, it was kind of close to our campsite & just laughed...
We both saw what we thought was either the biggest Black bear ever in Calif.
with it's arms or forelegs spread out or a Bigfoot, we said to each other, then just laughed...
But we didn't stick around that night very long either...
Cool to wish thou, something's we will never probably know about, that do actually exist too...
Million of people throughout history can't all be wrong, drunk, on mushrooms or on peyote...LOL
There's many names for the so called creature, in many cultures too....

Saw the movie and after I dropped my date off, I drove my mother's 65 Coronet home through the dark, (then) desolate, woody two lane roads of south Fulton County.
I was sort of nervous.

I was standing in a small grassy meadow one evening around 10:30 PM. I had been out hunting a field that day a few miles from the house, and I was making my way back through the woods. I stopped in this little meadow because it was one of my favorite spots to just stop and take it all in, quiet and peaceful at any time of day. This evening was no exception; crisp dry air, a gentle breeze, a soft moonlight, and a big sky full of stars. This particular meadow is quite small, just a grassy hole in the woods really, no more than 20 yards across, and surrounded by trees, bull briars, and extremely heavy brush. There is only one way in, and one way out, and that's through a small deer trail in the thicket. So anyway... I'm just standing there enjoying the moment, listening to the woods on a moonlit night, when I hear something fairly large moving around way off in the distance. Most animals move through the woods fairly quietly, but this was different, this was something very large, and apparently very clumsy, because I could hear this thing moving way out there! I was curious, so I just hung out there for a while, listening. What ever it was, it wasn't moving very fast... You could tell it was struggling with the thick terrain, just busting it's way through like a bulldozer, which is really odd for most critters... unless this thing is truly massive or really pissed off at something, or both. I also noticed that it seemed to be headed in my general direction. Still curious, I decided to hang out a little longer. Who knows, I might even get lucky and catch a glimpse of this thing in the distant moonlight as it passes buy the bull briar thicket surrounding the meadow. Slowly it came ever closer, still heading my way, which was now starting to get really odd... I know the terrain out there like the back of my own hand, and this thing is not taking the easy route. It's basically coming through the same route I came, which would be easy if your a white tailed deer or a rabbit, but lets face the facts here... even I have to bend over and slip sideways through these tunnels made by the deer in the bull briar bushes. I made a conscious choice to go into this meadow that evening however, but why would something this big head for a maze of pain if it could take an easier route. It finally got to the border where the real heavy brush and briars started about 70 yards out from me. I knew for certain that this would be the turning point for this guy, no animal would be stupid enough to try and enter this area, it would have to go around now. That's why the deer create these areas, this meadow is their private property.
It did not go around however.... it kept coming... why... could it smell me... was it after me... none of this made any sense! I dropped a slug into the chamber of my shotgun just in case. When it got to within about 50 yards, I could see the smaller trees moving as it came closer, and the sound of the thrashing brush, branches breaking under the feet of something very big... 20 yards out, I still can't see it clearly but there is a very large mass coming through that thicket like a tractor... 10 Yards out I remove the safety on the shotgun, just in case... 5 yards out and the brush is shaking like crazy when all of a sudden... Out pops a pretty blonde haired girl about 20 years old riding a horse????
She was out riding, her horse got spooked and ran into the woods, she got lost, and it got dark out. She was apparently just riding along, hoping the horse would find it's own way home... she was wrong. I asked here where she lived, then guided her back to her home via a much safer and easier route. LOL!

67 Mopar, good story
I'd bet you were waiting for some moose or bear or something,
else completely wild going thru your mind, ding ding diner bell, I'm not the top of the food chain
probably a little shocked & a little relieved too, that it was the blonde & her horse...LOL

Some animals make sounds that you would not expect. A pack of coyotes chaseing something makes a very strange sound --especially just out your bedroom window in the middle of the night!!
A mountain lion-cougar makes a sound like a screaming woman. Even a deer does make a sound. .................................MO
