Sasquatch And The Pacific Northwest

When looking at the forests of the Pacific Northwest it's easy to see how one could get lost.Put Sasquatch into play in these forests and you can begin to appreciate how a species like this can be somewhat elusive.In British Columbia alone the forests take up approximately sixty percent of the land,much of it not explored and to rugged to enter.There have been numerous people who have disappeared over the years not to mention the amount of aircraft which has went missing with not even a trace of debris found.There are approximately 100 un-contacted tribes in the world today which have not been influenced by the outside world for hundreds of years,WOW pretty amazing in our technological advanced world of today that we could still have that many primitive tribes.One of these tribes had photo's taken of them via from a helicopter in May of 2008 on the border of Brazil and Peru,in the photo's (http://blogs.nationalgeographic.com/blogs/news/chiefeditor/2009/05/five-uncontacted-tribes-nearing-extinction.html) you can see some of the tribe pointing there bows toward the helicopter in what I am assuming would be utter fear of this loud nuisance hovering above there heads.Getting back to the Pacific Northwest.One point that the non-believers of Sasquatch like to point out is that if there was a 600lb to 800lb Sasquatch wondering around our forests that they would not be able to sustain life during our winters because there's simply not enough food to live on?
(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IJjUt2sXo5o&feature=related.My) answer to that would be that an average adult male moose weighs in at 850lbs to 1180lbs well the females average weight is between 600lb to 800lbs there diet in the winter consists of 40 to 50lbs per day of twigs and assorted shrubs(http://www.mooseworld.com/)....Who's to say an animal like Sasquatch doesn't eat the same winter diet???There are other animals in the Pacific Northwest that are note worthy of a similar weight class to Sasquatch as well like the elk with the adult male averaging its weight in at 698lbs(http://www.bcadventure.com/adventure/wilderness/animals/elk.htm) . As far as the non-believers go they can throw that winter theory of there's out the window.In conclusion to this post I would just like to say that Science is evolving and changing it's theories on a regular basis and there discovering new species every year who knows what tomorrow may bring but there's no doubt in my head that one day they will have the evidence they require to put Sasquatch on our list of native animals to the Pacific Northwest.

Roger Patterson/Bob Gimlin Film

My thoughts on the Patterson/Gimlin film.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lOxuRIfFs0w .For starters I am very aggravated by this film simply because I have spent so much time listening,watching and reading peoples analysis for and against it.I have watched it hundreds of times at regular speed as well as slowed down frame by frame.I have listened to peoples claims that they know the person who was in the supposed suit.I have read and watched people try to dis-credit Roger Patterson (who may I say is not here and hasn't been for over 30-years to defend himself and his film) and Bob Gimlin ( who has always stuck by his word in saying it was NOT STAGED). If you are trying to form an opinion for or against the authenticity of this film I strongly recommend that you just watch the film and base your opinion on what it shows.It is my belief that what this film shows is a Female Sasquatch trying to move away from what she feels is a threat  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v7DFQwKlfnk&NR=1  (Patterson/Gimlin).It is also my opinion that what those two gentlemen filmed that day is authentic.Come on people ??? just because you haven't personally seen it doesn't mean it's not real...I am 37-years old and in June of this year I saw my first cougar in person...Now prior to that did I believe cougars existed???...yes,because I knew people who had seen them,I have also seen pictures and video's of them...mmmm,kinda funny....I believe we have the same evidence for Sasquatch..... ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EOrPTtg00MI&feature=related )

Forbidden Plateau

I remember 20-years ago going up to Forbidden Plateau when the lodge was opened during the summer to ride the chair lift and to get a bite to eat at the lodges restaurant.I also remember on the way to the restaurant that there was a plaque with the story of Forbidden Plateau and the Sasquatch.(If my memory serves me correct)This was before my sighting but I still remember being intrigued by the legend of Sasquatch even then.I am aware that there have been sightings all over Strathcona Park,I have collected numerous sighting reports from around the area and mapped them.Some of the sightings include Comox Lake,Mt Washington,Willemar Lake,Forbush Lake,Wolf Lake and a few others.What I am very interested in right now are reports from around Forbidden Plateau.If you have stumbled onto my sight and have an interesting story about Forbidden Plateau or anywhere in the Comox valley please fill out a report or email me with your story.I don't care if it's a story you have heard second hand ,I am very interested in what you have to say,it can be about tracks,rock throwing,hair samples,sounds,wood knocking ,sightings or anything else out of the ordinary.I appreciate your feedback and stories.I would also like to thank all of you for visiting my site and to the people who have taken the time out of there day to fill out my Sasquatch report form.Don't forget to do my survey before you leave,it's at the bottom of this page....Thanks Lee

Mount Shasta Sasquatch

I recently received an interesting report from a witness who claimed to have had an encounter back in 1974 coming down from Mount Shasta not far from Everett Memorial Highway.In this report he claimed to have seen a blond colored Sasquatch approximately 10 to 12' tall running a long the tree's and then as he slowed his vehicle down it eventually crossed the road in front of him disappearing into the tree's.The witness did get out of his vehicle to find some tracks which he then measured, the stride distance between tracks was eight feet.The same witness said he had more encounters in the hills east of Ashland Oregon.The picture above was taken at Mt Shasta.

Camping Comox Lake

It was about 8:45pm when my girlfriend and I finished setting up camp .It's sure an eerie feeling when you play back in your mind what you have seen,heard and read with regard to Sasquatch and add the fact that your in the forest at dark and not far from where you had your own personal sighting of this legendary beast....I found myself peering into the dark shadows of the forest wondering if there was a Sasquatch peering back at me,to compound things even more I thought OK any second now a Sasquatch is going to start throwing rocks at my girlfriend and I ....lovely,now were under attack and must go through the woods to reach the safety of our vehicle....lol,good thing that didn't happen.You know when you let your mind get carried away with the what ifs you really start to see how some may see things that are not really there..I believe its human nature to exaggerate or to even like i said earlier believe yourself into seeing things that are not really there.When I'm in the field I report exactly what I see,hear and smell,Hey it might sound boring to most but remember I'm not writing a fiction book here...Sorry,but it must be the truth.The place we camped was Comox Lake,it was in late Aug/2009.There were only two things to note during this trip and they were sounds which had come from just inside the woods and happened just as darkness set in,both times the noises sounded like something heavy moving through the bush,lasting no longer then 25 to 30 seconds,creepy and if you let your imagination run wild you could come to all sorts of conclusions but realistically it could of been anything.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ERdW5IiWHGA&feature=related

The Sasquatch

I know that my search for Sasquatch was provoked by my sighting years ago.My belief in Sasquatch was not only due to my sighting but by the research I have done in the 16 years since.I have watched numerous documentaries and also read many books on this subject.I have watched the famous Patterson-Gimlin film,the Redwood footage,memorial day footage,Tofino footage,Freeman footage and many other video's.I've read so many sighting reports that it's made my head spin.The further I get into this subject the more curious I become.I can tell you that based on all the evidence that is out there that something very strange is happening.The non-believers out there will tell you that everyone that has had an encounter is imagining it,seeing shadows of something else,seeing bears,lying,people in gorilla suits and/or many other things.I for one believe that all the above things I have listed have happened but in the same breath based on the shear amount of sightings and evidence that there has to be some substance to all of this.I can tell you based on what I know I have chosen to believe and to also actively do something about it.I can also tell you what I don't believe about this subject.I don't believe that the Sasquatch can dematerialize,come from a different dimension or that it was dropped off by ufo's...lol.My belief is that Sasquatch is bipedal and is somewhere between man and ape in the evolutionary scale.I know that by choosing to believe that some will ridicule me and some will back me,either way it doesn't matter.I have made a strong statement by creating my site and to all the non-believers out there,it's your right to decide not to believe just as it's my right to believe.In the end it's all water under the bridge.The picture above was taken above Little Anderson.

Sasquatch Field Research Tips

I believe when searching for Sasquatch/Bigfoot you should research what the experts do. #1 Recordings of alleged Sasquatch sounds are a must for research,playing back the sounds could be key if there is a Sasquatch in the area. #2 Must have knowledge of tracking,being able to track will allow you to follow any Sasquatch that may have been in your area of search. #3 Due to Sasquatch being elusive in the forest we must except that it has exceptional abilities,such as better hearing, smell and better vision then a human,if that's the case then taking a stealth approach would be key ,camouflage gear would make you blend in to your surroundings while binoculars would give you a long range in which to view. Another approach would be to set up near a river with rapids, you would not be heard as easily. If you have spotted a Sasquatch and want a closer look, be sure to know in which direction the wind is coming from,you want to be down wind of the Sasquatch, being up wind would tip the Sasquatches keen sense of smell, there for alerting it to your presence. #4 Having a video camera, camera and plaster are some other tools you should have when searching for Sasquatch.Good luck with your search...Lee...Picture above was taken at Lower Quinsam Lake.

Sasquatch Links

I have spent many hours surfing the net looking for Sasquatch info,during my search I have come across many great sites including documentaries,stories,sounds and video of alleged Sasquatch encounters.I compare it to fishing,on one fishing trip you catch 5-trout but you have only 1 or 2 keepers while the rest you throw back,In other words there is a lot of crap out there as well and believe me i have found it... lol. If you have taken the time to visit my site to read the stories I have written and are a believer or maybe sitting on the fence,take the time and go through my list of links, remember ....I have filtered the crap,the sites I have on my links list are good, I have compiled a great source of quality sites.I also add sites regularly.......Remember to scroll to the bottom of my page to do my survey before you leave.....thanks Lee...Picture above was taken at the Seymour Narrows north of Campbell river (Ripple Rock Trail).

Searching For Sasquatch

In late may of 2009 I took a trip about 90-mins northwest of the Comox Valley.I brought with me a recording of an alleged sasquatch call.i reached my destination at about 10:30pm,it was very dark with a slight breeze ,i played back the recording for about 2-minutes and then listened ,i did this about 3-times before i heard a loud crashing sound in the tree's,it sounded like someone stepping on fallen branches,i heard this for about 10-seconds and then it stopped.I again played backed the recording,but did not hear anything at that spot again.I drove about another 1km up the gravel road playing my recording with no other sounds coming back from the woods.I did this same trip again in early june/2009 at aprox 1am ,i had no luck hearing anything that night.I am going to try this again in the comox lake/cruickshank area,there have been a lot of sightings and rock throwing reports in this area over recent years.I will update my findings when that trip is completed...Picture above was taken near Little Anderson lake in the Comox Valley.

Rock Throwing.

The spring and summer of 2006 had some interesting events which happened around the Comox valley, I will start with my personal experience. It was mid may and I was camping with my girlfriend around the middle of Wolf Lake, following the Duncan Bay Main. It was just getting dark. We were cooking a couple of trout, that we had just caught, over our camp fire. From behind we heard a couple of large splashes,it sounded like large boulders being thrown into the lake. I turned toward the sound with my flashlight, panning it over the water where I saw ripples,I then shinned my light on the tree line, the brush was to heavy to see anything . We talked ourselves into the idea that it was probably just a beaver. In all the years I have fished and picked wild mushrooms I have never seen or heard a beaver on that lake. That same year during the summer there were 2 reports at Willimar lake,which is situated just above comox lake. In one report at willimar lake the campers were scared off by what they reported as " rocks being thrown at there campers ". Another rock throwing report came in from Forbush lake which is located just above willimar lake,with this report there was also a possible sighting.In the research I have done, rock throwing seems to be a trait of Sasquatch and could possibly be used as defense against someone intruding on there territory...Picture above was taken at Wolf Lake in the Comox Valley.

Comox Lake Sasquatch

In 1993 I was driving with 2 of my brothers near comox lake when in front of us a Sasquatch walked across the road .It was during the early morning hours and we could see it from head to toe in our high beams approx 20 to 25 feet in front of our vehicle. We came to two conclusions, it was someone in a suit or it was a Sasquatch? I Remember looking at it from head to toe and recalled it was pretty much all covered in fur or hair ,even the tops of it's feet were covered. I have told many people my story over the years with mixed results,some laugh ,some ask me if it could have been a bear,lol....that one kills me.I've seen many bear and know beyond a shadow of any doubt that what I saw was definitely not a bear. Some people seem very interested in what I saw. I have even told my story to a wildlife biologist. Over the years I have thought many times about that night and it has truly made me a believer .Picture above was taken near Comox Lake (Courtenays side)in the Comox Valley.
