User "Darryl_M58" described his very unusual encounter with the Sasquatch (North American Yeti) on Reddit in the Bigfoot section and assures that it was all in fact.
“I was born in 1958 and when it happened I was 33 years old. It was August 28, 1991. As a child, my father used to take my brother Jeremy and me hunting and fishing, and as we grew up, we both continued to regularly go to the forest.
That afternoon, Jeremy and I went on a deer hunt in Mendocino County National Park. But this is a rather difficult place to move, there is a lot of dense thickets, and after two hours of tracking the deer, we had only four rabbits.
Finally we got tired of wandering and we already decided to return home, but then we allocated another hour. And it was at that moment that we suddenly heard a loud, unusual cry a little to the side of us. It didn’t sound like a human scream, but it wasn’t an animal scream either, at least neither of us had ever heard that before.
We were both amazed and went to look for the source of this scream. Soon we went out into a small clearing, where no one was, but both immediately felt that we were being watched from the side. When I looked in the direction here, I saw how some object was hiding behind the trees.
I was so filled with hunting excitement that I didn’t even point this out to my brother, but rushed in that direction, still thinking that there was some kind of animal there, maybe even our long-awaited deer. But when I approached that tree with a gun at the ready, I saw not a deer, but a tall and completely hairy man running quickly away.
I rushed after him and immediately saw that this creature was leaving footprints on the ground, similar to those of a man, but very large. A few minutes later I almost caught up with him. There was only 30 feet (9 meters) between the creature and me.

I sat in the bushes and it seemed to me that it did not see me, because it stood still and looked around. But it seemed to hear me perfectly because it suddenly looked in my direction and suddenly began to make loud gurgling sounds.
It seemed to me that he tried to speak to me. I walked out of the bushes and, still holding it on my sight, cautiously approached the creature closer. And there was only four meters between us and I could see him very well. His fur was reddish in color and almost completely covered his body from head to toe. Only the palms and face were hairless, and white or gray tufts of hair were visible on the chest.
It was much higher than 2 meters in height and it still continued to make unusual sounds as I approached. But when I stopped, he suddenly quietly and almost with his lips said "no danger" (no danger) and poked himself in the chest.
In amazement, I lowered my rifle and stared at him, but he said nothing more, only slowly turned around and disappeared into the thickets. Puzzled, I went back and met my frightened brother in that clearing. I asked what had happened and he told me that he saw a female sasquatch with a cub in her arms.
As my brother and I were leaving the forest, I turned around and again noticed a tall sasquatch watching us from a long distance.
This story shocked us so much that my brother and I did not tell anyone anything for many years. Even between us, we tried not to mention that day. Only recently we began to read various stories on the net about the meeting with the Sasquatch and decided to tell our own.
Here are some special things I remembered about the Sasquatch when we met in the woods:
- - He is red, but he has blonde hair on his chest.
- - His voice is very deep, but when he screams, it looks like a thin squeal.
- - His footprints were approximately 18 inches (45 cm) long and 10 inches (25 cm) wide.
- - His arms were long, but overall he looked just like a big hairy man.
- His facial hair covered his forehead, and a beard grew on his chin. The skin of the face was much lighter than the skin of the body.
- - The nose was very wide and the lips were also large and wide. His face resembled a hybrid of man and ape, and he also reminded me of a Neanderthal.
- - His arms, legs and torso were very muscular.
- - He stood upright, but hunched over
- - He walked awkwardly, as if incapable, but he ran very dexterously and quickly.
- - He definitely knew a few words in English.
- "He seemed like a peaceful creature and not aggressive."
