They left you get away but scared you bad enough you never came back. That’s what they wanted.

“What did I do to deserve this”? It’s like bro you were drilling all night in their Forrest being loud as all hell haha

You can't fake the emotion in this guys voice,some bf stories I take with a grain of salt but you can tell he's being totally honest. I could feel the fear in his voice

That first story was one of the best I’ve ever heard. I don’t know exactly what kind of work he was doing up there, but my thought to the “What did I do?” question was that they were protecting their territory from invasive humans. And then I listened to the rest and he said he shot an arrow at them a week before 😂

I can relate, the terror it installs is life changing! Just the shock of the strength these beings have make you scared of the dark and everything in it!

Don't get me wrong. I feel horrible for this guy. But I can't help but laugh. He says "what did I do to deserve this?" Then later says "the day before, I shot an arrow at one of them." Haha.

When someone says "i wanna say" so often, they are making a thought rather than recollecting a memory

I believe they just want to be left alone, you get in there territory and they let you know right quick. Had my own experience in 77 in Colorado and talked to Wes back in June 2022. Round Table member for 45 years.

Wes, you are so kind. So grateful people have you to come to, to unburden these 'heavy' stories. The last guy really needed you and you 'showed up' for him. Unless you've been there, you can't fathom the havoc these memories can in-case you in emotionally. Awesome active listening!

Dave Paulides has a very interesting Big Foot series on his channel. Not "reality" show storytelling but a historical recounting of encounters from all over.

I would like to encourage us all to be as respectful as possible in the comments regarding this man's experience. It's a little disappointing to see how many are quick to engage in armchair debates over Doug's traumatic personal experience. My heart goes out to him when said that he just sat in his room for 2 days. I'm sure those who've experienced trauma know that exact feeling.

I would love to just post my number for people who have had these experiences _just_ to be someone with a listening and believing ear. I feel SO horrible for these people who have these encounters and have to sit in the terror _by themselves_ while people that _should_ be believing them are laughing at them. This makes my blood boil.

I had a traumatic situation once and i can relate when he says time goes slow. All of a sudden time slows down as the situation is happening. If anyone is old enough to have seen 'The Six Million Dollar Man" episodes back in the 80's when they do slow motion. Just like that.

It’s crazy he was out there by himself. On a job site like that anything can go wrong.

That part when he is at the gate, in the dark, sounds like a nightmare.

I think they were pissed off about the constant racket from the drilling operation. It would annoy the heck out of me, if I lived there.

That was a fabulous share! Thank you for going through it again. A lot of us have felt that primal fear. You are not alone.

This is an excellent telling of an amazing story! I loved it.

This is probably my all time favorite episode. Doug… you can hear it in his voice

This guy got a serious fright.

This was one of the most realistic and terrifying stories I've ever heard, I truly feel for the guy, but I know for a fact if they wanted to tear him apart, they would of done so, thank God this young man survived the ordeal,

I live in the UK 🇬🇧 (England) and i saw a Dogman that came out of a road last year at 3am on Easter Saturday night, it was approximately 8 foot tall,.. I remember this like this was yesterday... Also my father was a photographer and when i was about 7 years old, he was asked to go to a ministry of defence, underground site, that used to be a submarine test weapons site... Slightly like this man discription on this video of the tall beast , is like what my father had to take pictures of this beast /thing, in the underground place, deep under the sea... The holding pen, was the size of a british cathedral, eg, st pauls cathedral, london.. Inside this place was a massive cage, the steel bars were the size of bass organ pipes, from a pipe organ... My father was told by, say eg a General, not to go towards the bars,, everyone in the holding area had larger powerful guns (maybe special forces) so my father had to take pictures, so he had flash guns, called metz, with him on tripods., i remember he took 3 flash guns on large tripods... And the camera he used, was a Hazzelblad, (square format)... Yes the films were taken by m.o.d ((British government)) ..& fortunately the official secrets act is up now ((25 years)) , my father was a decorated specialist photographer, who was freelance, for government & he is very well known here... so its ok to speak about now. Inside the holding pen area, the whole area smelt of rotting flesh & a type of hay & manure.... My father said that after setting everything up he positioned the camera and took a picture between the bars from 10 /15 feet away but next to him were many armed soldiers... Facing this massive holding cage... The bars went floor to ceiling, as my father got ready to take the pictures, there was complete quietness, so as my father, got the camera ready to take a shot, he removed the Hazzelblad metal plate, from the back of the camera & as this made quite a loud sound, there was a gutral sound, from inside the holding cage.. Deep in the darkness, (the General said they need clear pictures, but as this sound happens my father, started to shake, (as a Christian i remember him saying, the Blood of Jesus Christ, cleanse me from all sin or fear...) (my father would tell me this & im as im a Christian as well & i have said this, when i have been in fear as well.. Anyway so he goes and takes a photograph & the first picture nothing happened, but the second picture this massive beast maybe 60 foot tall 30 foot wide stood up and roared.... (my father said the same roar sounded like 30 lions or more in a echo...) the beast wasnt human, but more like a demon, the face was unrecognisable the eyes were all red... & tusks prutuded upwards from its mouth, the tusks were bigger than a bull elephants maybe twice the size. Its arms & its legs were the same length approximately, It was covered in a type of grey hair, (thick like a mammoth but not like a gorillas or a monkeys ) when this thing or beast roared the whole place seemed to shake... Everything shook... I wondered subsequently now adays wonder if this is a giant, or nephilim, fallen Angel... Or its a demon from bible days When my father told me about this he said that the lift inside this fort, travelled down underneath the sea for approximately 5-8 minutes travelling 10 mph or so ... Maybe quarter to half a mile, or more under the ground/sea ... The lift was big... The size of 4 school buses and there were 6 to 8 army soldiers who were all armed in the lift with my father and the General it was flood lite.... My father said there were many armed soldiers in the place, everyone there were fully armed, the fort was massive under the sea My father took a film of 15-20 pictures, but i remember he wasn't the same for some years after this had happened... There were many rooms, or holding rooms, maybe each room were the size of cathedrals or the size of the rocket room at nasa Please message me if your interested in having more information or knowing more about this story... Please message me, im in UK 🇬🇧 England, (im 6 hours ahead of you here) thank you for your channel and for the content of this man on the video.. Thank you

Thanks for posting a new one...great show!

This encounter Is my favorite one. Thank you for sharing

INCREDIBLE 👣 thank you so much for sharing your experience.

Good show, very well done, incredible account. One comment - NEVER point a deadly weapon at anything when you are not sure what it is and NEVER pull the trigger when you do not intend to kill what you are aiming at. Know EXACTLY what you are shotting and why. For food, or to protect yourself/friends/family/strangers. Know exactly what you are preparing to shoot!!!

Wes, Great show, great ending. Thank you for helping Doug. Ideally he will need your advice and learn more. This show provides a plethora of easily digestible objective, positive primary resources for the entry level to the advanced. Bless your Heart, Brain and Soul Kind Sir Wes. Please keep Fighting that good fight, you're WINNING.

Just subscribed. That story was these best so far I've have ever heard on this subject. Makes me not even want to go into a forest preserve during the day to ride my bike

Someone says “ this horrible creature 509 lb ape rushed me!! I cried”. Wes responds as if the person said “ I like candy”. “Yeah I getcha man “ 🤣

Sounds like a job available. Where is the place? I need a job.

i believe you-sounds like the loud noise from the machine made them mad to begin with

Hey Doug, I totally believe you.

This is the most intense story about these creatures I’ve ever heard. I hope this man is psychologically ok after this. I’d have a breakdown for sure.

I totally feel for his confusion and terror. Although I don't believe they are allowed to hurt us unless we hurt them first. They sure don't hold back giving threats. Having a visual in my head of my arms and legs being thorn off if I didn't leave sure motivated me 😉... Really confused about how they can do that so well...

This is a story of a shook man!

Most believable experience heard yet. I feel so bad for this guy!😢. He is still so terrified...

Definitely one of my favorite episodes. I would be traumatized!

Good Evening to you all..have a peaceful Sunday❤

I heard a story simular to this where they felt so terrorized . But realized they were protecting man from bad Bigfoot and frightened the man out of area.

I had an encounter with a sasquatch in bankhead forest in Alabama and the thing was in my area for 3 days before I saw it on Sunday but it was nothing like this. Glad you are safe now.

Sloths grow alge on their fur and it's thought that this is camouflage. Maybe that contributes to the smell.

THIS is how every human would act & feel in that situation. The idiots that claim their encounter was so magical & sweet...are just LIARS. Thank u for sharing your story guy.

Sounds like he's talking about the geothermal wells around medicine lake that stopped as suddenly as they started.

I have encountered a few in the woods trees breaking, growls rock tossing the whole 9. My mom also has similar encounter being chased back inside house in North Carolina

That sounded very genuine pheww mind boggling

He's telling the truth. He is having to face the loss of his grip on reality, the frustration of being trapped with a truth he cannot tell, and anger, knowing he has been lied to his entire life. I know. You deal with it everyday. But the word is finally getting out. Peace.

Masters of imitation and intimidation!!!!!!

Just imagine getting up from a nice nap feeling the ground shake along with the most loud banging metal on metal noise coming from your back yard. Low and behold, there is a group of men in your back yard on some machine rippin things up and trashing your back yard. WHAT THE HELL WOULD YOU DO? Humans need to remember…these desolate heavy wooden rocky areas is their home. Yet humans are out there tearing nature up to put up condos and whatever else humans think they need.

One of the best accounts, ever!

Feel sorry for buddy man must of been so scared and no one listens to him after man lol funny tho imagining him making tht funny sound shifting his pants wow don’t shoot at them with arrows lol

Guess I’m just a curious person. I get blowing small actions or noises off to natural things, but it blows my mind how oblivious or in denial people are to big unnatural things happening around them or to them.

Seen one in North Carolina and I'll never forget it. The thing was huge. 9ft tall at least

In the process of trauma, you can lose time and actions, you can't remember small details. The brain goes into protection mode which can block out unnecessary information.

Some accounts I have no problem believing, but some simply have too much “embellishment” , clues and red flags of fake drama. I hear a lot of that in this scenario.

The absolute terror and freezing involuntarily sounds a lot like infra sound. There are some large predators on the earth that we know of that use this to confuse and terrify pray so they make bad decisions in fight or flight.

Fired a crossbow bolt into a tree and RECOVERED it? Thats the fishiest part of this whole thing

They are better and less dangerous than us if you follow what they’re telling you. They are the ultimate predator, could kill anyone in less than a second but they don’t. They scare the hell out of you but let you live. What do a lot of people do when you or animals trespass? Shoot and ask questions later. They are a people. If you just say they are a violent forest monster based on an encounter or two, that just ignorant.

Les you sound just like Wes Germer!

" Help me baby Jesus! Help me Oprah Winfrey ! Help me Tom Cruise!" Ahhhhhhh

I cannot imagine.

Holy $hit. 😮😳🤯 This encounter is terrifying.

Great episode! What has happened to SC? I'm not receiving any new downloads. Does Wes still do the podcast?

To them your cutting down their home and surroundings .I’d want you to get out my house too. If you weren’t invited. Bad that he had to experience that situation though. I know he had to have been terrified.

Def believable

😆😆😆 I must say I am a fan and I must say this story is real and I don't doubt you at all. But I must say when you speaking you moment of describing when it looked like the moss, black, take a bite of your head, that bit is very funny. But I must say it is the best story I've heard, well defined explanations. Stay Safe out in the woods and keep your eyes open. Peace

U got some compelling testimonies here dude...

Great story it's to bad this dude could not tell it well. your ok now it's safe calm down

I’ll explain why they wanted you out of there. It’s because they’re nocturnal hunters and you were making a ton of noise scarring off all the game in the area. They first threw stuff against the metal wall to draw you out, then the rock and the bluff charge and guess what, you left the area and the heavy machinery was silenced.

U saved his mind sanity WES. GOOD FU😅T B

They make a mean taco!

If you ever need someone to go out there with you I would love to join the team oh my hell of a tracker, and have tons of outdoor expertise

12:37 BWAAAH! - Hank Hill

That guy he heard make a scream. If it’s in the opening of the show, he sounds just like Hickcock45.

The DVD in the trailer, was playing episodes of " Finding Bigfoot" ( never) Thanks Moneymaker , hey, is that a Percocet on the ground? Run

Love your content Survivor Man!!!!! My main question that's still unanswered is why is our government and state and national park rangers/services hiding this information from the public....... Wouldn't you want your civilians to be safe?? Just a penny for your thought

Hi can someone tell me the name of the tune please. Watching from Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 thanks

After hearing some of these stories I defo believe in them now, I just wonder where they live, I reckon old cave systems which go deep and there’s probabky lots of them to

This guy has PTSD...I had it for years having been married to an abusive husband..I'd start sweating..shaking and nauseous...before he came home from work...And it took years to stop reacting to him...however I still choose not to talk to him..after he starts to feel better..he needs to do his research to empower himself...

I’m thinking of what it was like when my neighbor would have a big party and how much it disrupted our lives. This situation makes me think that maybe the night time machinery was disturbing the Sasquatch’s life. Lol I dunno it’s just what I thought of

E-brakes cause brake lights to come on???

The woods are there home and you are destroying it not to mention ungodly loud machines. I'd be angry too. Destruction and loud noises makes normal humans angry. . It's kinda funny the way he's telling the story.

They are a creature, not nice at all , I understand what you felt ...

fascinating account

maybe they don't like the digging.

They love beer 🍺 bring them a few cases and they will be good to you .💯🍺🍻🍺🍻🍻🍺🍺🍺

22:00, I'm sorry this poor guy didn't get the support he needed

If stories such as this one are a cry out for attention, then this is a whole other level of desperation.

is there a date when this happened?????

Have you seen Post10s stealth camping videos?

30-06 works just fine against these things.

It would be awesome to have like them good or professional sketchers to sketch out these sasquatchs. From people like this guy here. And/or, other stories, episodes. Better yet, a re-inactment....

13:05 I know EXACTLY what he’s talking about. It almost sounds human but it’s DEFINITELY not guman

He also mentioned earlier was right arm on branch. Then it changed to left arm on branch.

I don’t think I have ever heard an account where one has broken a car window to get someone

It's so well insulated "it" doesn't really show up on thermals. It's hair is like a space blanket. Might be why they smell the way they do, they never really "air out".

Sounds like his experience was with what they would say is a dogman, not with a sasquatch. Just because he didn't seem to think it looked like Patty from the Paterson film. I think he would probably have a good chance of finding some reference to his sighting with that type of search. Sounds like he was terrified of whatever it was he had his experience with. They are never kind according to what I have researched. If I were to encounter one I would definitely be shooting it first and asking questions later. Anyway I hope that eventually he will not be so terrified and be able to enjoy nature once again. I know that once you have a encounter you are never the same. I have had one, and have been ridiculed by people who I have told them my experience. I am a avid outdoorsman who has been hunting and fishing for 46 years. And until about 12 years ago I would have said there is no such thing as a bigfoot or dogman. I guess you can say seeing is believing. And I will never take for granite what someone else says that they have experienced again. Just because I was so dead set against the idea that there could be a animal that I hadn't encountered. I don't know if they are some kind of out of this world creatures or something that doesn't have a large population of them But I do know what I saw and it wasn't anything that is a normal animal. But I am not exactly scared to go back into the woods. I hope he finds some way of dealing with his post dramatic stress he has from his encounter. God bless.

Man, my heart goes out to this guy, he is so traumatized by the experience he went thru with these creatures. It's just mind boggling, the vast gulf between how these beings present / behave in a given situation... I totally understand them coming back for " pay back " for one of their own being fired upon.. What really bothers me is the description the guy gives of the obvious sadistic and cruelty the creatures were talking such sick pleasure in when tormenting him. I can't really call them beasts, as animals don't as a rule take pleasure from inflicting cruelty,physically or mentally. After listening to his story a couple of times I disagree with him on thinking that the creature didn't think he could see him stalking him and was being very slow @ deliberate in his movements as he was coming after the guy. He could only see him from waist down, but yes, these things are highly intelligent and that creature KNEW the man could see his legs moving. That was part of the cruelty he was enjoying so very much, the total fear he was causing with each slow,prolonged,deliberate step, the poor guy watching his movements @ knowing he was being stalked. It added another sadistic twist, he was mentally torturing the guy... No normal wipes animal acts in this manner, using so many different methods of torment as a form of punishment... It's act,react,cause,effect, this was un- natural and has it's very own category it belongs in, although it's hesitate to label it as yet .. Man, I'm so very sorry you went thru this and are still suffering not only from this encounter,but also from your family being so unfeeling @ callous towards you. Nobody deserves to be terrified and tormented, them their own blood treat them so badly. Let me tell you little secret I learned many years ago, I'm 62 and it took me a long time to figure this out, then to not just accept but to embrace it as fact @ live by it. Family, true family, isn't always the ppl you share blood with. Life experience,,bonds built on trust that is earned not just given as due, and when you realize that the person who has your back in the wonderful times as well as the awful times, the person that when you are hurt or sick or in trouble and need help, the one you done hesitate to call and who you will in turn be there for them no matter if it's good or bad, that's your family. Family isn't always blood, sometimes family is just love. And love crosses all boundaries and will face ANYTHING or anyone right by your side. Those ppl are rare, I'll grant you that. And to earn that type of love @ loyalty you have to give it. I'm 62, and there are exactly 3 ppl in this entire world I know without a doubt and no hesitation I can call upon be out life or death and they will be there. I share blood with two of them, the 3rd I share hearts blood, which is what I call blood freely given in friendship that is family. Find that kind of ppl son, and you'll find your family. All the best to you.

I'm guessing these creatures are "Subterranean" and this guy must have been drilling in to Their dwelling.

Idky but it upsets me to hear ppl try to confide and tell their encounters to relatives or close ones and get tha cold shoulder. It shows who's really in ur corner tho. I would probably get 302ed by lashing out on tha 1st person who brushed off my near death encounter 🤬

Occasionally, I hear descriptions where there are solid dark orbs, no pupil, no iris, and no "whites,".....that’s not natural.
