>>2438763encountered a sasquatch in the northern cascades last august.
kept hearing tree knocks off in the distance (instantly know no known animal makes loud distinct tree knocking noises)
then i got the most intense feeling of being watched, it’s hard to describe but it felt like i was a prey animal and there was a burning sensation happening that something is watching me.
the forest got entirely quiet, no wind no insects no birds.
i kept walking and started to hear footsteps in the brush mirroring mine.
i would walk they would walk.
i would stop, they would stop.
i kept turning around and then boom there it was.
it was a psychedelic experience locking eyes with this thing. sitting about 70-80 yards away up in the brush. staring at me.
it felt like hours but it must’ve been a minute total.
i pulled my phone out while keeping eyes locked with this creature.
took a 15 second video before the shock and awe wore off and the most intense dread/fear washed over me and i turned and walked away.
after this i somehow lost the trail and became lost on this mountain.
i was slipping and sliding down this mountain for over an hour, all the while being followed by tree knocks.
this is sourdough mountain near Lake Diablo in the Northern Cascade mountains.
it’s a highly intense hike, over 12 miles in total.
i was the last person on that mountain and there was no human behind me.
it was a deeply intense event in my life and hardly a day goes by now without thinking about that day and what happened on that mountain.
