In the late 90s, we had unusual tracks in the freshly fallen snow on our property. It was really large bare feet prints. We photographed the tracks. We never seen anything tho. This was in Beaver County.
Love your bigfoot videos! Hope you can do more in the future.. beautiful scenery there..thanks for sharing your hikes with us, it's a great thing you do, specially for those of us who aren't able to get out there physically anymore..
I usually don’t believe in this stuff , but there was something about the terrain, the eerie quiet and the stories you told . I was legitimately creeped out . Waiting for a figure to appear behind you in the tree line . Keep up the great vids Cliff
Wow! Was just there in August of this year (2022) specifically for the history of bigfoot sightings and that forest is squatchy as hell! I've never seen anything close to Berks county that looks as much like the PNW as this stretch of forest. Quite a diverse local ecology. Great video man!
You say that you found no wild nor hairy man in your trek to Sand Spring WW!? You had only to pause and gaze for a moment in to the still pool of water at your feet, and there you would see a wild and hairy man staring back at you! Within us all is a wild and hairy beast!!! Rooooaaarrrrrrr!!!!
1967, Chester County Pa. I was 11 yrs. old. Sledding in winter with my brother and 2 neighbors. Back before new 50 mile long Route 113 was built in the 1970s, the area was densely wooded and wild. We were tobogganing the steep farm fields with a good mile long run to the bottom . We had just climbed the hill for one last ride before sunset, when we noticed the silence, no birds singing, no squirrels chattering the alert that kids were playing. Complete silence. Then we felt it, eyes on us. We looked about and over in the woods just in about 4 ft from the open snowy field, stood the biggest hairy gorilla looking man we ever saw. We froze motionless and peered at it to discern what exactly we witnessed. It was at least 7 to 8 ft tall, not a bear, not a man, not a prankster. It had red eyes, it didn’t move, just stood there watching us sledding. It raised the hair on the back of my neck. Being the eldest of the group, I ushered everyone to leave and we exited rather quickly as it scared the mittens off of all of us. We all knew that what we saw was real, unusual, part animal and scary as heck, no one believed us, but we will carry that childhood memory forever!
I really enjoy camping in Pa. I have been doing this for almost 50 years. So far no Bigfoot sightings, although our trailer was hit hard a few times. Who knows? Still I love all your videos. Pa. Is a beautiful state. I am from Ohio, but my husband is from Pa.
I'm sure they are more hunter stories but are too scared to reveal. But yeah they would know or see more than anyone. Hikers along the AP would as well. Great video.
Hello cliff another great video great stories I'm not really sure what I really think right now about those stories but as you travel through the woods keep a sharp eye out be careful stay safe love from upstate New York
Having witnessed how well animals can adapt to their immediate environment and blend in, I ponder the relativity of time and the existence of natural domains, i.e. phantoms that can appear with any degree of synchrony and strength to our perception.
Cliff, I think someone has been drinking too much "shine" :) I spent a lot of my life travelling the PIne Barrens and never saw the Jersey Devil, but it's fun. If I saw a creature like that where you are , I would run like Hell... believe it! Cheers, 'Rik Spector
20+ years ago I was camping with my little brother just off the AT on Blue Mountain, a place where over night camping was actually not allowed (shhh lol) in the middle of the night we were woken up by noises around our tent, something large walking around and breathing deep and heavy. We immediately thought bear, but the breath had such a down low deep bass type sound that I wasn't totally convinced it was a bear, it just didn't sound right, and it was higher up, like the sound was more near the top of the tent not the sides but neither of us had ever seen or been close to a bear so it certainly could have been. It stayed about 20 seconds (guessing) and ran off, the steps were super heavy and didn't sound like something on 4 legs. We didn't hang around long that morning but did look for a minute for any type of prints or anything but if you know the AT in PA, there isn't much soft dirt lol. I don't know what we encountered but it changed how I hike from then on, my little brother who is in his 40's now, never went back in the woods again over night.
The legend of the Bigfoot is unexplained. No person will ever capture one bc they only exist in other dimensions, and when we see them they have arrived through portals.
There's an old hymn, "I Wonder as I Wander." The title seems to fit you well. Now I wonder as you wander, when outdoorsmen and hunters see huge footprints, why don't they track them? And in state game land it seems that if the creatures were there, even one, a poacher would have bagged a trophe by now. The setting was a beautiful backdrop for story-telling. Great video.
Hi Cliff, I do remember your previous video on these encounters, to my mind it seems there are too many people's reports that are extremely similar when they try to describe what it is they've seen for it to be some kind of hoax. I think the spring itself is a beautiful, peaceful place, it is fascinating to watch it create sand volcanoes as it comes up. Thank you for sharing, much love. xx ❤
It would make sense that such a creature would be sighted at a fresh water site. Probably would come down to drink and perhaps hunt animals drinking. Might still be out there today. Maybe it will find your channel sticker.
In a world where people are taught there is no God it's not surprising for many to try to shove things into a material reality only box. I believe God created all things including unseen beings and processes. In a fallen world it's also not surprising there "things" that not what perhaps what or living as they where created to be or live. Having grown up semi off grid (at times completely off grid) in a rural area I've had real experiences with something that was annoyed the h*ll out of us for a few summers. My half Cherokee grandmother who grew up off grid deep in the mountains of Virginia would tell interesting tales of her area passed down by her elders. People from long ago who weren't touched by the Bigfoot craze and never used the term. Oddly, only two stories could be Bigfoot related; the one with the kidnapped man lining in a cave with half human half "ape" babies and the screaming sound they only heard one time of the year. The first story is very interesting. After growing up and thinking about Bigfoot I found an interesting tie between First Nation peoples and the world's hide-and-seek-champion. Native people's DNA traces back to Central Asia. There are ancient drawings in that area of humans, animals and what appears to be a Bigfoot type creature. The people lived in nature, knew how to draw a bear. There are a few tribal tales of their shamans invoking Bigfoot type spirits against their enemies. In Alaska people have reported seeing a cryptid Leprechaun. Yes, that's what they said they saw. In the lower 48 people many years ago have reported seeing cryptid Gnomes wearing the traditional Gnome clothing. With the other unusual cryptids, such as Sheepsquatch, I'm wondering if unseen spirits take on characteristics tailored for the people of the land they seem to share. Europeans brought sheep and suddenly a new beastie appears. People who have tales of gnomes or leprechauns have settled everywhere in the US. There are other versions of big creatures that Natives never mentioned, they appeared after people from another country brought in different animals or supernatural tales. What are they? Beings that must live a material life after the world fell but retain attributes humans don't have? That would explain their need for food, shelter, etc. and vulnerability and may be the reason there are few artifacts and their seemingly supernatural abilities. There are a lot hype and lies now, I don't believe there are loads of them, with one behind every tree or wandering every patch of woods. I suspect they're part of God's creation, like whatever spirits God has to be involved with the land, but not something we should get involved with at all. All ancient cultures believed the land could be blessed or cursed. A place with wicked or unjust people had land problems; perhaps some of those problems were not lack of rain, too much rain, non producing livestock or bad crops.
Lived in the woods by franklin. Thank god I moved into town. There are rejects and convicts living in the allegheny national forest. We couldn't go out at night. The night here is traumatizing.
Nice video. I spent a lot of time in that area in this seventies and eighties. BSA in the 60s at Camp Shikellamy. Eventually hiked long distances of the AT. visited a lot of places on your videos and I wish I would have visited a lot more on your videos. You know my couple thousand miles of wanderings on trails I never run in anything or even felt afraid or smelled anything. But... "I Believe". Do you know if the da above Old Camp Shikellamy is still intact on the blue blaze to the AT. How is another magical spot up near the Boulder Field. I believe Called River of Rocks. Keep on rambling. Thanks.
@@JayOverlands it was in Texas. Lol. A little place outside Conroe Texas. Grangerland. It was about 7-8 ft. I was driving a Ford pinto station wagon. That thing was a wide as the hood of the car. Very muscular. Covered in dark brown hair. When it ran, it's hair would bounce. It didn't look like it had a neck. It did not have glowing red eyes. The eyes would look blue depending on the way the headlights reflected off of them. Other times they would look black. But I stepped on the gas, I guess I scared it because it ran out of the road. And I speed out of that area. I wouldn't go back there for years.
@@reginariddle2266 Thank you for sharing, I always had an interest in seeing something like that. I was in the pacific northwest and heard some of the local stories. I never personally saw anything like it and I'd probably freak out too lol.
200 yards is 600 feet ! impossible to make out any detail at that distance...even if you have excellent eyesight. you'd need binoculars or a good scope.
✍ As time goes on, I try to refine my approach to writing creativity within the Cryptoid or Bigfoot genres. Objective and subjective study of folklore can lead to a realistic understanding and intimate relationship with the subject at foot (with a smile).
Creepy tail there Cliff. I think the older stories of a hairy manlike creature are more believable simply because there were far more traveling shows/circuses back then. Ape like animals could and probably did escape from these shows back in the day. The owner, not being able to track them down and thinking they would perish come the winter probably just moved on. More recent sightings? Two hundred yards is, putting it in perspective , two football fields away. I don't like to call anybody a hoaxer without proof. I think seeing a "whatever" that far away in the spring/summer fall in the woods would be impossible. Even in winter with two hundred yards of tree trunks in the way something that far away could be anything. The guys that took a shot at it or warning shot? How much beer did they consume B 4 that all took place? Today's Bigfoot do not exist, they are based on old tails handed down from when strange animals not seen everyday were seen in the wild as I explained above.
Bigfoot is going to love that flashlight!
This was interesting. That is such a beautiful area, why wouldn't a woods creature want to live there? Thanks for the stories. Keep them coming.
In the late 90s, we had unusual tracks in the freshly fallen snow on our property. It was really large bare feet prints. We photographed the tracks. We never seen anything tho. This was in Beaver County.
Thanks Cliff, I am enjoying the Bigfoot series. The spring looks so relaxing.
Thanks Cliff. About two days after you published this video I decided to go check it out. That is a beautiful trail. Thank you for the inspiration.
Love this series Cliff, you never know what’s out there among the trees! Keep up the great work, it’s certainly appreciated!!
Awesome trail with all the hemlocks. Thanks for sharing. Stay well.
Love your bigfoot videos! Hope you can do more in the future.. beautiful scenery there..thanks for sharing your hikes with us, it's a great thing you do, specially for those of us who aren't able to get out there physically anymore..
That spring is probably an archaeological treasure trove.
Made me nervous. Kept expecting big foot to jump out!
Enjoying this series very much!
I usually don’t believe in this stuff , but there was something about the terrain, the eerie quiet and the stories you told . I was legitimately creeped out . Waiting for a figure to appear behind you in the tree line . Keep up the great vids Cliff

Now those stories had a ring of truth in them
great stories 👍🏾… beautiful place.
Thank You for your Videos .
Beautiful hike. If there are such creatures, we should leave them alone. Thanks for telling these stories.
I enjoyed your video. Thank you.
Kent
Awesome video. I wish I still lived in pa. You're hiding spot giveaway would make a great daytrip. Ty for posting.
I'm with you friend, I much prefer the quiet of hiking/camping alone. Sometimes it is fun with friends, but you will get the solitude of going alone.
Thanks!
Really enjoying this series!. Keep them coming.

If he was there Cliff you could always offered him some beef jerky or a Clif bar lol
I heard his favorite is Jack Links beef jerky😆

Fascinating stories, and you do a wonderful job of narrating. Would love to hear these tales sitting by a campfire!
I'm in the Pacific Northwest and Bigfoot sleeps in my backyard!😂😂😂😂
Thanks for getting me there. I like getting out by myself too great video ty Steve
Hello cliff another great video great stories I'm not really sure what I really think right now about those stories but as you travel through the woods keep a sharp eye out be careful stay safe love from upstate New York
Thank you for this series!
Nice video. I enjoy your videos.
I have nothing against your spring but someday you ought to travel around the southern Missouri Ozarks to see some SPRINGS!
What can I say? "Bigfoot is out there in number, yet my dog has not been eaten. Yet."
Having witnessed how well animals can adapt to their immediate environment and blend in, I ponder the relativity of time and the existence of natural domains, i.e. phantoms that can appear with any degree of synchrony and strength to our perception.
There are other dimensions here in our three dimensional world, humans fear phenomena that which they cant explain.
Nice peaceful Walk 🥰
Cliff,
I think someone has been drinking too much "shine" :)
I spent a lot of my life travelling the PIne Barrens and never saw the Jersey Devil, but it's fun.

If you study the detail of the old Jacobs photos closely you will know Bigfoot is in Pennsylvania.
one day you'll run into something that you will never expect

Voice texting..
Perhaps that's what treasure hunting is about: "Find your spot of empowerment."
grate stores i would love to see a leprechaun
I meant to write the dam above camp Shik.
Keep looking for Bigfoot
Truth is Sasquatch are all over this state. They are a peaceful and very wise people.
You don't want to see one of those things! I saw one once. I never want to see one again!
Interesting. What did it look like and where at? If you don't mind me asking. Thanks

You're not going to find him in your everyday state park, you need to get off the beaten path where people don't usually go.
If there are why have no one found carcasses you would be able to tell by decomposed odor. Just doesn't make sense to me.😏
Our friend Big Foot has a different kind of logic and some say he buries his deceased.
200 yards is 600 feet ! impossible to make out any detail at that distance...even if you have excellent eyesight. you'd need binoculars or a good scope.
