Thank you so much for making the show possible.

Our first experience of the night comes to us from Will,

and this is Will's experience.

So I may have finally had a near encounter with Bigfoot,

Sasquatch, or as my kids and I have nicknamed him Uncle Darryl, which is a funny story that I will add at the end.

So my wife and I are traveling all over, like I told you in a previous email, and today, around

930 PM, while we were at an almost deserted rest area in the

woods near Port here on Michigan, I had my first actual interaction and sighting of the big hairy

guy.

It was dark and damp from small amounts of rain, and our dog Piper Anne was throwing a fit,

whining and barking.

I had assumed that she needed to go out to have a potty break so I hooked up her leash and let her out.

After taking care of business though, she was transfixed on something in the distance in the woods

out back the parking area. We had been hearing a whistle before letting her out which my wife thought was just Piper

Anne whining, but I had noticed that it was coming from back in the woods.

It was possibly a bird, so for fun I whistled back, trying to copy the length

and pitch. It then responded back with another whistle. Now it sounded like a mix of a single

tweet from a bird, kind of mixed with a mouse squeak

It was about one and a half seconds long holding at the same pitch like a whistle

My dog at this point was getting upset, so I brought her back into the car.

I wish to point out that at the rest area there was only one other car parked nearby.
