My guest tonight comes to us from my home state of North Carolina. Chris was a staunch skeptic when it came to Bigfoot, but he has had some encounters near the Uwharrie National Forest that may have changed his mind! Check out his email below.

Chris Writes....
Hey Brian! First of all, Love the show! You do a bang up job! So, I’ve had 3 encounters with what I believe have been Sasquatch in central NC. It wasn’t until the 3rd one happened that I started putting pieces together.
Just a little history about myself. I have lived around the Uwharrie National Forest 95% of my life. I’ve always heard stories of people seeing Bigfoot type creatures or hearing screams, whoops and so forth. But, being I have always enjoyed the outdoors hunting, fishing and gold panning - I never believed in any of this. Finding Bigfoot came and did a show in the Uwharries and had their “town hall meeting” at the fire station that I volunteered at. I was sick at the time and couldn’t go to the meeting but I wanted to go hear these “crazy peoples” stories and see what it was all about. At the next fire meeting all the firemen where laughing and joking about “these people” and their outlandish stories. So to say I was a skeptic was an understatement.
Fast forward a few years. I talked with a guy at church who knew I was into gold panning and wanted me to come down and check his creek to see if it had any gold. I agreed and said I wasn’t sure when I could come but I would first free second I had. I ended up getting off work around lunch time one day and decided to go down and check it out. They weren’t home so I parked at the gate and walked in to the property about 200 yards or so. To give you an idea of the landscape as you walk down an old logging road there is a mountain immediately to my right that would be tough to walk up and had a power line running up and over the mountain top. To my left is about 20ft of rough brush lining the creek. The creek banks are about 4ft tall with the creek running in the bottom. So as I’m walking I’m trying to find a clear spot to get down to the creek. Knowing this area is swarming with Timber Rattlers I’m taking my time and watching my steps carefully. So at about the 200yrd area I find a nice, clear, pretty level spot to climb into the creek. In the creek in a huge flat rock and I decide to use it as a work station to put my backpack and stuff on to keep them dry. So I’m here about 2 hrs and decide to stop and take a break. I’m standing there drinking some water and watching leeches swim around my rubber boots. All of a sudden something came flying through the tree tops. My first thought is “I’ve never heard a bird flying through the tree tops hitting limbs and leaves like that!” My second thought was maybe it was acorns falling? But I’m surrounded by pines! And it was moving from left to right and not straight down! So as I’m standing there scratching my head I hear something else! This time I track it with my eyes and see a rock about the size of a Jr sized football fly over my head, over the creek and land in the brush on the other side with a thud! I’m standing there with my mouth agape! I put my hand on my 9mm and say out loud “You stay over there and I’ll stay over here!” I pack my stuff up and head for my truck! As I’m walking out I feel like I’m being watched! So I have my head on a swivel! At the end of the logging road where I parked is what was used as the logging deck, so it’s...
