I saw Bigfoot the other day. Yes, it was
during the day. Why would a Sasquatch be out during the day for me to see? I
can’t tell you why. I assumed they were primarily nocturnal. Maybe this one got
night and day confused. Furthermore, the sighting occurred downtown, where you
would never expect to see Bigfoot. It made me wonder whether humans are
encroaching on Bigfoot habitat or Bigfoot is encroaching on humans. After all, so
many folks claim to have seen ‘Squatch and their footprints that one can only assume
that several ‘Squatch roam the woods.
Supposedly, in the late 1800s, near the
city of Yale, British Columbia, a strange creature was captured that some
called an immature Bigfoot. According to the website – Bigfoot lives, the
creature reportedly stood 4’ 7” tall and weighed 127 pounds. While being
transported the hairy, gorilla like critter mysteriously disappeared and was
never heard of again.

In1907, a steamship captain came upon a
canoe full of Indians along the B.C. Coast. Apparently, the Indians were trying
to escape a monkey like wild man that dug clams from the beach at night and
howled while doing so.
Years later, a man named Albert Ostman
told the story of being kidnapped by a Sasquatch and help captive for a week. People
who knew Ostman said he seemed quite convincing. I think he just needed a
vacation.
If you go to OregonBigfoot.com, you can actually hear several recordings of ‘Squatch, which are quite comical (the entire website is humorous, although it is not meant to be). The recordings sound like the jungle noises from an old Tarzan movie, with one said to be Bigfoot actually “whistling.” In the background of one recording you can actually hear music playing. The website also has a Bigfoot “sightings” database, where the count at the time of this post was 1,350 sightings.
