Pennsylvania Backpacker Believes He Encountered BIGFOOT Near Bald Eagle State Forest

"I ducked back under the tarp and listened carefully. Previous to that night I had never believed in the Bigfoot existence theories, but I now feel that is what I encountered."

I received the following account:

"In February 2019 we had an unseasonably warm week, so I decided to head out to the mountains in central Pennsylvania one night after work for a short backpacking trip. This was near Bald Eagle State Forest. I left my car right outside the town (basically just a tavern and a general store) near the trailhead sometime after 8 PM, and started my climb up from the creek toward the higher elevations. Most of the snow had melted off over the previous days, leaving the streams overflowing, and sections of trail covered with running or standing water. With rhododendron bushes growing all around, there was often no choice but to slosh straight through the water. There's no chance of keeping your feet dry in conditions like that anyway - you just stick to the center of the trail and accept it.

The trail took me up into the fog, which continued to thicken with elevation until my entire world was reduced to a 6-foot bubble lit by my headlamp. The air somehow felt warm and cool at the same time. There was a constant white-noise rushing sound from the water all around that grew and faded as I walked, and the whole sensory experience had some weird effects on me. Water in my peripheral vision looked like it was writhing instead of flowing, and I had this near-constant sense of light and activity just behind and to the sides of me. No unusual dread or anything like that, just a bizarre feeling as my mind invented things to fill in the surroundings that were mostly blocked off from my senses.

I pitched a tarp and went to sleep near one of those roaring streams sometime after 1 AM. I don't even know how many times I woke up convinced there was a crowd of people murmuring. I opened my eyes and peeked out of the tarp. No more than 30 feet away were a pair of bright yellow eyes looking in my direction. Then I heard a human-like voice. As I watched the yellow eyes moving through the bushes, I realized that it was at least 8 feet in height!

I ducked back under the tarp and listened carefully. I heard several voices that seemed to be having a conversation for another 10 minutes or so, then it eventually stopped. Previous to that night I had never believed in the Bigfoot existence theories, but I now feel that is what I encountered." D
