Summary

Bigfoot Pack Surrounds Marines
In 1974, on a Marine Corps base in North Carolina, five combat-hardened Marines, including a sniper with Vietnam experience, encountered four Sasquatches while fishing near a river. Initially enjoying a peaceful day by a bridge and small island, their outing turned terrifying when they heard massive, bipedal creatures crashing through dense, snake-infested brush, hurling branches, and emitting bone-rattling screams. The creatures, one of which was glimpsed as an eight-foot-tall, rust-haired figure with broad shoulders, executed a series of bluff charges toward the group, alternating from both sides of the river in a seemingly coordinated effort. Retreating to the island for safety, the Marines endured fifteen minutes of this ordeal before the Sasquatches, possibly working as a group to herd them, fled downstream and upriver, leaving the men shaken and determined to keep the incident secret to protect their careers, forever altering their perception of the wilderness.

0:00.0	My wife, her cousin and I decided to camp out one weekend and go squirrel hunting.
0:14.0	We packed our tent, got our food and water and tools ready.
0:18.2	And I cleaned and checked my Remington Mohawk and my Savage Stevens,
0:22.4	and then we took off. We got to the campsite and cleared a space for the tent and the fire pit.
0:29.3	We gathered some firewood and got to cooking and talking, and when we finished eating supper,
0:35.6	we heard bipedal footsteps somewhere nearby in the woods.
0:40.2	As we sat there in silence and listened to it, walk around us, my wife's cousin and I exchanged a look.
0:48.3	We both knew what it was. We'd seen its kind before.
0:52.8	On another hunting trip at that campsite, we ran into an entire
0:56.9	clan of boogers. Based on our last encounter with them, I wanted them to know that we were armed,
1:04.0	so I fired a warning shot into the hillside and the walking stopped. Two hours later we heard more heavy footsteps.
1:13.2	I fired another warning shot into the hillside, and again it stopped.
1:18.3	Another hour passed uneventfully, but at 1 a.m. the whooping started.
1:24.3	My wife and I had been sleeping in the tent, but her cousin chose to stay outside by the fire.
1:29.7	Do y'all see this?
1:31.0	I heard him whisper outside.
1:33.5	I joined him by the fire pit, and I saw something up on the ridge about 30 yards away.
1:39.4	And then, with no warning, all hell broke loose.
1:43.2	There was whooping and whistling, and a group of them ran through the woods around us,
1:48.0	making as much noise as they could.
1:51.2	We decided it was time to leave camp, and it only took us minutes to pack up, but it took
1:56.5	a good thirty minutes to get out of there because we had crappy flashlights. That was a long 30 minutes.
