Great story Chris,I've heard another story recently of a mountain biker who was racing down a mountain and rounding a curve on to a sudden steep incline and was suddenly visciously attacked by a huge mountain lion.He also virtually gave up expecting death because the cat had mauled him so bad and had him in a firm grip on the back of his neck and restricted his breathing.Just as he was fading a 9to 10 foot sasquatch appeared out of nowhere grabbed the lion with two huge hands lifted it above it's head and brought it down on its shoulders so hard it snapped it's spine instantly. The guy was similar to your guy where he was still conscious cause be had a rush of adrenaline. If that wasn't enough the guy said it took a look at him snarled took one leap over a huge boulder at the side of the trail and about 10 seconds later a female sasquatch appeared and it was then his mind and blood loss made him pass out.Next thing he remembers is being rushed to hospital in a EMT van.He asked the medic how they got to him and he said a ranger walked out of his cabin and he was lying just in front of him.Wow what a tale guys!!

It knew he was injured to some degree, then showed a level of concern for him when it no longer deemed him a threat. These creatures will always have my respect

I had a buddy who was a logger. He told me that they were logging an area in the forest here in Washington state and equipment was bieng destroyed by someone or something. Some of the guys wouldn't even go in a certain area because there was something in there. Long story short they didn't touch that area and he thought it was a big foot trying to stop them from tearing up his home. Great story Chris! Thanks to you and bill.

If that creature wanted to kill him it could have done so easily. Instead, it helped him. The amazing thing is that it didn’t have to help him yet chose to remove the logs. That tells me these beings, whatever they are, are highly intelligent and possess empathy. Amazing.

I've heard this story multiple times on other channels and the story has never changed. It's actually quite amazing. Stay safe out there Chris.

Wow, intense! Firstly people, never wander on unstable log piles, for obvious reasons, secondly, I don't think a Squatch would reveal itself and free you from certain death only to then kill you, it sounds like it was debating with another about if it should assist or leave the human to his fate. Maybe these creatures are smart enough to know a dead human brings even more unwanted activity to its territory...

I am from rural North West Arkansas,these animals are plentiful in the forest of Arkansas and Oklahoma,I've had numerous experiences with them,so I believe what Bill is saying is possible.thanks for sharing guys.

I've heard this story before and it sounded incredible, but to hear it from the person who experienced the accident and unbelievable rescue by a Sasquatch was unimaginable! I'm so thankful he was saved and the physical wounds healed. I bet the creature also thinks about this event and was, in his way, glad he could rescue him. It's such a heart-stopping story. Thank you for sharing the interview, too!

What an amazing story! From what I've heard, Bigfoot that have families are much more friendly and less aggressive towards people than Bigfoot that live on their own. It sounds as if they were trying to warn him in their own language to get off of the log pile before it collapsed.

Bill didn't try to steal the Sasquatch's deer that was in the tree. The loggers shot it and were going to take it. Did the Sasquatch show, through his rescue of Bill, his appreciation for that? That would really suggest even more cognition on the part of the Sasquatch. We know from other stories that Chris has told that those who offer food (fruit, etc) to them, get treated better by the Sasquatches.

i think the monster was trying to save his life. fascinating story. Thanks to your guest for sharing such an important experience with us

I’m from Arkansas. It’s actually pronounced WASHITAW. My grandmother lives right in the middle of the Ouachita National Forest. It’s beautiful. It’s huge and dense in areas and definitely could support something large like big foot. Lots of creeks and streams and rivers there.

A compassionate Sasquatch. The guy would've died. Quite an unusual set of circumstances there with the deer in the tree and then the guy getting pinned by the logs. I liked the story telling in the tent. Nice steak dinner and wild mustangs in the morning. Great story and beautiful views, Chris.

All of your stories are amazing but this one is stellar! This poor fella. Those logging guys were worried he’d do something to hurt himself and he did. Thank God they came back to look for him. Thank God Mr. Sasquatch saved his life. What a miracle this was.

Beautiful scenery 😻 I saw on another channel this weekend that Sasquatch will never forget a persons smell so if he ever went back to the same area they would remember him. Also I just saw a story of a Sasquatch carrying an injured solo hiker to a cabins porch so the occupant could further help the lone hiker. Maybe they really do have empathy.

This is pure gold..I have heard about this encounter earlier in Bigfoot Case File/ Bigfoot Project and also in Dixie Criptid.However hearing this from the man himself is a total different experience altogether. Thank you Chris ...

Great story, Chris! Thanks! A Squatch saved my uncle's life as well. I wish he were still alive to tell you the story.

God Bless Bill. He is lucky to be alive. What a frightening and yet fascinating story. I know it had to be a lot more work for you Chris, but I LOVE this longer video. It was like watching a movie. Thank you and keep up the good work!

This is the most amazing, real account of Sasquatch that I've ever heard. God Bless this man and his healing. Very well told, thank you

You are a great interviewer Chris! You let him speak without interruption and when you did speak you were compassionate and understanding. Very important qualities when someone is recalling an obviously traumatic situation for him. While his story is amazing and I wish him the opportunity he seeks to confront his fears, your interviewing skills are exceptional sir. My respect for you just increased by 100.

Chris, there is a PTSD therapy called EMDR that can really help with the symptoms. The practitioner has the client make certain eye movements while recounting the problem memory, and the symptoms can diminish and even disappear altogether. Hate to think of this poor fellow still suffering. How cool is it that the Sasquatch saved him!

I'm a fan of the "Strange, Dark and Mysterious"... and "Things That Go Bump In The Night". 👍 Thanks for all you do Chris!

Bill told his encounter in an amazing way, totally enthralling..hope things get a little better for him with the ptsd..Mim,Scotland. Great episode Chris 👍😊

Hello Chris, great story! If Bill is still suffering from PTSD, please know there is help for him out there. As a licensed therapist, some of us have specialized training to treat PTSD to reduce and even alleviate symptoms of PTSD. So, have a question: do you have a way to contact Bill? I can see if there is anybody near him that would be willing to see him for no cost to help him find some healing. Thanks!

I admire this man for sharing his story and explaining on how many levels it has affected his life, struggling through all the pain and terror of the experience, and finally coming to find some level of grace and peace.

Great story Chris I think Bill was very lucky he’s the same age as me, so I knew his bravery and thoughts about hiking away on his own, were a lot like mine. The moral of this story is Thank GOD for Sasquatches, they evidently knew he was in trouble and they meant no harm. They saved him. Just Amazing.

Really great story. Hope that the man can recover from his encounter. Obviously in this case Sasquatch wanted to help. Sending blessings and healing. Much we still need to learn in this universe.

Hello Chris👋 Hope you're doing well. Love your stories, love your hikes and love your viewers for their great submitted stories. I can smell the fresh air through the screen, beautiful 👍

What an amazing story!!! It has to be right up there with one of the best. How scared this guy must have been but realized that sasquatch didn't harm him. I've always had this picture in my mind that sasquatch was not violent in the way that they would seek people out and kill them but yet they would be extremely intimidating. I enjoyed this immensely . Life has many mysteries and this is one of them. I wonder how many people that have encountered sasquatch and has never told anyone for fear of them being labeled cuckoo. Thank you for sharing this!! Stay safe out there Chris!!!!

One of my best friends grand ma lived alone near Mena, on property as well. She raised Rottweilers, and I got one from her, a female we called Haley. Incredible dog. Smart, stoic, fearless, and a really, really funny sense of humor. Big dog. One time, a friend of mine who was like 6'6'' was sitting at the kitchen table, she was sleeping on his feet. She saw something outside raised up and barked, he peed his pants! I was mortified, but he took it in stride. Laughed it off. He was like, ''I am really glad your dog likes me so well''. He said he felt better, that he knew I traveled allot and we lived in the country. He knew she had the security locked down when I was gone. Anyway, Mena, yeah, nice place. Rest in peace my both my friends and the one's grand ma.

I've heard this encounter several times b4, so glad to finally hear the real person tell it. Thx Chris, awesome show

This story, i.e., interview, had me on the edge of my seat the whole time. I so hope this man will be able to say thank you to the Forest Man who saved his life.

We were worried when we didn’t hear from you yesterday. Glad to see you!!!

Now that's what I call a great story. He was so lucky to survive that.

Hi Chris! I was worried about you, thinking we hear from you on Sundays. There has been a lot going on for a long time in my family with illnesses and I've become a type of caretaker so no wonder I worry too much. Glad you're ok, hearing your video now. God bless. :) Along with my pals, your fans here, not just speaking on my own, please be careful.

Wow! What an experience!!!! What cool stories!!! Great rendition! Thank you 💜

First time on your channel, and it is wonderful! I believe the Sasquatch should be protected and their habitat preserved. Subscribed 🙂

WOW!!! What a story!! So glad he survived but sorry he has to deal with PTSD and night terrors and a sleep disorder. I never would've climbed those logs. To much could go wrong.

Wooohoooo, you're back to camping!!! Yay! Chris, you're THE BEST story teller. You painted a picture of this event. I appreciate all you do to share these stories with us.

Hi Chris, compelling story! Also, I love that we are listening to his interview while you are cooking, very clever!❤

This has to be 1 of my favorite stories!! Prefeectly told by you and Bill!! Thanks for sharing. Keep pushing forward Bill 💪 🙏

Chris, this was a very interesting and fantastic encounter. It shows that these creatures have some type of humanity in them. Also, glad to see you camping and cooking again while telling these stories, keep it up.

When you said “who sits around in the forest, drinks beer, and gets paid for it? Me!” Made me so happy haha I am so glad you found something that makes you happy!😊

AWESOME story. I totally believe this man. He has absolutely no reason to lie. This man was literally taking his last breath and experienced something no one else will ever go through in this lifetime. He saw something greater than anything he could have imagined. I pray he gets his wish to meet the one that pulled the tree off of him and can finally have his peace in this lifetime.

This is an incredible encounter that I've heard over the years multiple times but always secondhand. I've never heard him being interviewed b4 so your lucky Chris that he picked you. I've heard probably at least 100 encounters where these creatures have helped or saved injured people and less than 10 encounters where people have helped an injured sasquatch. I'm glad Bill's encounter was with a good Sasquatch. Can you imagine the strength of these creatures to lift trees like that or the numerous accounts where a sasquatch bent a rifle in half or like a pretzel. Thx, very, amazing, fantastic encounter story. Glad you made it out alive, I guess you weren't very much help at your aunt's house after this. What I would like to know is did he believe in sasquatch prior to this happening.

Chris loved this story and the shots of the horses and scenery! You are really blessed to get to do hiking camping and be surrounded by such beauty! 🐴🍺💖

Thanks Chris for this real & amazing story . Thanks for your guest to come forward , for sure Bill experience is not like anyone else . I bet he never saw nature the way he used to . This shows these creature have feelings of caring and should never be hunting down or take for granted . I fell asleep tired and didn’t finish the rest , this morning woke up & went right back to it . Have a safe day everyone. Mariela from Camarillo California. Thanks for sharing 😊

Don't you scare yourself telling these stories. I watched this at home during a storm outside and got really scared😂. Great story telling.

That was a crazy interview. Thanks as always Chris. I'm always fascinated listening to these encounters from the people who experienced them.

That sounded very genuine. Wow. Prayers for this man, peace and restful thoughts.

Amazing story. These creatures are gentle giants, that will protect themselves if provoked.

Hey Chris Great video, absolutely love that it's a lengthy one, getting my snacks and gonna grab a comfy blanket, turn down the lights and prepare for chills 👀

It's always a good day when Chris drops a new video

Absolutely fascinating encounter, i am glad he survived and lived to tell the tale! Thank you for bringing this to us Chris.

Have listened to this gentleman's story on another channel a few years ago. Terrifying in every way he has a great prospective. Blessings Chris. Be careful out there.😊

I'm new to your channel Chris, really enjoy your story telling. That gentleman was extremely lucky. What a story. I'm pretty much speachless. I will be sharing this video.

Hey Chris good to see you back hiking ! This story blew me away . I could hear the fear in Bill's voice and the desire to go back hoping for a face to face. He wants to show the thing it has no reason to fear him. Maybe doing that will take away the night terrors and everything else. Bill I just said a prayer for you in Jesus name. It was Jesus by your side keeping you alive. He allowed this to happen for a reason. I've stopped wondering and I've no fear just a flash here and there. My lack of fear comes from the blind faith that what happens in this world even if I'm killed I know I'm going to Heaven . There's only two places people go. That's easy for me because no matter what, I do not look at evil. Because I can't stand it. I know evil I've felt the attacks on me . When it starts I simply say In the Mighty name of Jesus Christ I command all evil to go straight to the feet of Jesus Amen. Evil has to leave when you take your God given authority over it . End of sermon. LOL Thanks for sharing. GOD bless you and your family.

I love your videos! I grew up in Virginia City, NV, so when you camp there and tell stories I feel like I am home again, back where I grew up, camping with you and listening to stories, all three things at once, while I am stuck in bed with chronic illness, so watching these videos is like camping by proxy for us shut ins! Thanks for the adventures! PS if you are ever in Virginia City, again, on North "B" street, the big white mansion that looks like "doll's house" is the one I grew up in. 26 years in that beautiful home! kindly, HT Hibbard

Amazing encounter!! Also love watching you cook your steak and veggies outdoors. Looks delicious. You make camping looking really enjoyable. Thanks for the great stories. I love them. Keep 'em coming, Chris!

FANTASTIC story, of course your expressive way of telling stories is a great plus. I can’t believe he climbed the logs to see what was holding them in place. Seems hiking around to the backside to see what was up would have been smarter. Of course I’ve never done anything so silly, WINK WINK. Glad he survived to be able to pass on his story.

Chris your a master story teller!! Superb!; stay safe 😊thank you..

This is the most interesting sasquatch story I have ever heard. Just amazing. Was a bit worried when I didn't see your latest video on Sunday. Glad you are o.k.

Incredible story chris stay safe keep hiking

Great story ! Bigfoot saved him. Didn't want to hurt him. Stay safe, Chris. Thanks for sharing !

Chris I have been watching your videos for a while now and really enjoy your content but have to say...This is my favorite so far and have shared it with some friends. Thank you to you and the gentleman for sharing this absolutely incredible encounter. I hope he does get a chance to meet scarface in person I think it would be incredible closure and phenomenal therapy for him. Thankyou again Pete from Australia 🇦🇺🇦🇺

Really terrific stories, Chris. This share of Bill's is just staggering! The Bigfoot saved his life, for sure. Shows the compassion Bigfoot can have. But what a horrible experience with that log pile. Glad he's here today to tell us about it. God Speed.

Heard this before but it is an EXCELLENT story and you tell them wonderfully. Thanks as always for doing these.

Most people, in or out of Arkansas, don't know this but the geographical area around Mena, Arkansas is VERY strange. I worked for the state of Arkansas for many years and have investigated various businesses at that location. I still believe there were/are drug transfers going on at that location; but have no proof. I also believe the story you have just relayed. Those mountains are VERY remote and rough. A perfect place for a big foot. Thanks for bringing this encounter more attention.

Great story Chris . Whenever I say to someone that I believe "they" exist ,mainly because there's way too many stories I've heard that are believable , people just look at me like I'm crazy .

That is a hell of an experience to live through! 😮 By the way, I have the same pack you have on today! Awesome piece of kit👍

I have heard over a dozen rescue stories of Sasquatch, often it is children that have wandered away from a forest camp and got lost and a usually female Sasqautch brings them back to just outside the camp, makes some noise and leaves the child. I am so glad that you let Bill tell his story, much more detail and one gets a good dose of his emotion over the ordeal, even over 45 years later. This is why I am a fan of the Sasqautch Chronicles which is now over 1000 episodes of interviews. I have come across a few sites where a narrator states the story like reading a book. A good many are so fantastical and written as if by a polished author writing a book, I know damn well they are made up stories, and this is a shame. It does this community no good. It's too bad this incident created PTSD with Bill and I feel for him. I myself being 20 in 1976 and an outdoorsman and hunter in Mid Michigan, we never heard of Sasquatch in our areas, only that they may be in the Pacific NW, thanks to Roger Patterson and Bob Gimlin. However I respect and like that he would like to get close again to one and try and interact. I too have this wish, as the one I saw was just too far away, and same year 1976, Roscommon County, MI. In my mind I have no doubt this group of Sasquatch would have soon gotten the trees off Bill. And one would probably have carried him down to the loggers, made some kind of noise and left him for the crew to take care of. Or just left him on the road, staying close, knowing the crew would be by on their way out, but thank God the crew came soon so the rescue and life saving could happen. And Bill - I know the area you grew up. I lived on Alexis Road in 1980 and 81 by the Sherman Williams store, which was a house at that time.

Thank you for taking us right out there with you Chris,!

Chris when I first started watching, I enjoyed your hikes and gear talks… and now, your channel is just blowing up… I dip in and out depending on my work schedule, but when I do the dip, I binge!! Your positive attitude… your appreciation of your viewers stories and the animated telling is just SO enjoyable!! You put so much work in to your ‘production’ I know… You are obviously so appreciated … I love watching your subscriber count grow Thank you so much for all your time and effort 🤍

Loving the extended-time stories.....great to listen to whilst doing the chores👍🏻

This was a great story. I was so moved by it. Thank you so much for sharing it with us!

I love your stories and the way you tell them, to sit around a camp fire and listen to you tell them would be an honor

WOW, another great one Chris, see it just goes to show you that there's a lot of wildlife we don't know what it is or where they may pop up, stay safe and be careful...💯👍🖼️🐻

🇨🇦😳oh my gosh. So scary. I so admire your ability to tell these stories in the wilderness. 💫

Funny thing, listening to your witness....I had a mother in law named Inez ..cousin that goes by Cookie ....have a .357 mag ....and I have been to Mena, AR...lived about an hour from there a long time ago, and hiked the Ouachita Mountains many times. :) It was like reliving those years.

Thanks Chris!! Awesome story!! Absolutely enjoyable!!! There are more & more people coming forward with sasquatch encounters now than ever!!

Greetings and salutations from Croatia, Chris. It's a true joy watching your masterfully made videos. Big thumbs up!

Hey there, Chris. WOW! You gave us everything in one setting, that's so sweet. I loved how your tent looked and how it matched the beer can, way too cool, lol. Your dinner looked delicious 😋 I loved everything about this video This encounter was wow. I did hear it before, but this was one of the memorable encounters out there. You are the best I heard tell his encounter, plus you let him tell it also. So it made it even more awesome than any others. Chris, you are so funny. Bahahaha, you had me laughing so hard, I stopped and rewind lol, stop and rewind lol ( "ME," you said) I loved it. I have to say you did look a lot more comfortable in your tent telling the encounters. You're Awesome Chris. Thank you for sharing with us and for all the hard work you do filming and everything. You are the man indeed. KEEP ADVENTURING GOD BLESS YOU

What a great place for a story. The horses were an added bonus.

Hello! Thank you so much for sharing your stories. They make my day. May God continue to Bless you so that you can continue hiking & making these videos🙏

Omg! That was a great story. Maybe for sure these big foots aren’t really dangerous. But story Is amazing. Plus Chris where you we’re at . Has to the closes to heaven with out being dead. Absolutely beautiful!

This is great I love camping and storytelling together.. stay safe!!!

Wow what an amazing story, it’s hard to get over something you see, that everyone tells you doesn’t exist 😢 this was great. Cheers Chris .

Wow! Praise God! Several years ago, a co-worker shared a Sassquatch story that both he as a young boy, and I think his grandfather in the woods. They saw one nearby that came close to them. They were afraid, and the grandpa told him not to run but stay still. The Sassquatch left. They were not harmed.

Absolutely awesome outdoor footage and storytelling. It looks like you were up off Toll Road somewhere - beautiful. Must have been so quiet, and the perfect weather for an overnighter.

Such an amazing story. Thank you for sharing it with us Chris. Bill you are incredibly strong to be able to recant what you experienced. God bless you both ♥️

I've been watching you for 3 years no. This is the best, most inspirational story yet. I love all your stories. Not only that, the interview after that ,I understand that you are telling us the truth

This one is in my top five faves of all time. Love it. Thankyou from Australia. 🇦🇺

Thanks for taking us on this trip via video. Very refreshing, as we couch potato in the Pac NW, to see the wide open spaces. At the moment, we would love to get out of our rainforest, hike the rocks, and see the horses. Absolutely awesome story.

Wow! This was totally unexpected. Thank God he was rescued by the big foot! And then the loggers. Well that puts a different slant on the big foot, but maybe not all are as kind as this one was. But thankfully this one was gracious to rescue him.

That was awesome Chris!! I loved that story alot more than I thought I would''ve!

Right off the start you show us the terrain... Love it!❤️

I appreciate how you've found a way to include your footage of wilderness cooking while also keeping the engagement level high by having the audio of your interview played with it. Keep up the good work!

Wow, Love the scenery! Thank you for sharing your experiences and fantastic encounters. Always looking forward for more.

Fantastic. One kind of human helping a different kind of human. Proof they're human

Great story, Chris, and I was really happy you threw in the morning coffee and mustang footage, etc., because as good as the story was I totally enjoy the camping aspect, too!
