The Experiencers: Michael Shepherd 

I'm the sister he was with in Washington and whether you believe us or not, it happened. The yell, the cracking of trees as he ran off, the imitation of moos (multiple times that day), and the hoot vocalization while we were in the tent. It is all real. Evidence has been brought up in the comments, he's got it, but why would he show any of it to people who just sit back and make fun of it anyway? As for all the people calling my brother a bad parent. You weren't there. The kids were safe. There was no way we were going to allow anything to happen to them. Besides, how were we to know we would have that amazing of an experience? Should we not have gone out and explored? Those kids had a blast on that trip and they laugh about it today. I challenge any one of you who is judging him to go out and have your own experiences in the woods. Be open and live outside of what others have told you is real. Figure it out for yourself versus judging someone for speaking their truth.

Go dad!! I always love hearing your experiences and I am glad other people can hear them too!!

Thank you, Michael. You are believed and appreciated.

Oh, I could have listened to your experiences for hours. These were the most amazing profound stories and I relived every word you spoke. I wish I was brave like you. You blaze trails and live such a passion filled life. Your children are lucky to have you for a father. They will grow up having the courage of their convictions and I envy that so much. Thank you for sharing a part of your life with us. I am sitting here in awe not wanting your stories to end.

What he said about mind speak was really appreciated. I had one experience with one of these beings, on a half hour walk out of the woods in the Santa Cruz mountains. When the entire thing began, and I realized I'd already been paralleled for some time, but still wasn't very sure (it was obscuring its own footfalls by using the sound of my feet crunching branches, leaf litter, etc) then a branch cracked, a branch on a tree, not underfoot on the ground. At that very instant, I had a very strong, distinct mental sense that this branch breaking was fully intentional, in order to let me know, "Yes, I'm here". I never actually heard a word in my mind, it was just a mental sense. All these years I've been unsure about that detail, but hearing Michael describe his experience makes it clear what I experienced. His description is almost exactly how I would describe mine, so it's very clear what I experienced.

I think Michael’s closing words about going out there with a an open mind and love in your heart is accurate and wise. I have a suspicion these beings can sense our intent and/or see our aura.

These are truly fascinating interviews. These people are undoubtedly genuine, and I'm grateful to them for sharing their experiences

"All the roads led there, to Sasquatch", That statement resonated so much with me. Similar back story, except I discovered it was me, not the houses that were haunted. Not haunted, sensitive. Or living in sensitive activating/high-energy areas. I am the antenna, and so are you. The light or beacons in the space between the dimensions where these beings travel back and forth. Fascinating!! I have an experience in California when I was about 10 at Girl Scouts camp, along with missing time. Around the same time, my family was experiencing and had experienced UFO and paranormal encounters before this event. All I remember is a fellow scout and I walking in the woods, and we saw red eyes in the trees, after that I do not recall what happened. But we ended up back in camp safe. Today, after hundreds of paranormal experiences, Bigfoot is what I am drawn to the most. I have tons of books and watched every doc. I feel so lucky to be an experiencer, not chosen just lucky to be able to feel and see. I believe that all of these experiences are designed to help us transcend fear in the 3rd dimension, so we can communicate with the 4-5-6th dimensions in love- its an evolution of our consciousness.

Respect the love you have Greetings from Denmark 🦋

Great interview. The guy is a natural storyteller, and I love his message. I don’t know if you’ve seen the Swan Lake Bigfoot site lately, but Robert had all kinds of Bigfoot swirling around him in the woods, and he couldn’t see them. Until he looked at the reflection on his polarized lenses on his sunglasses during post production. This is mind blowing! 😮

beautiful interview......I wholeheartedly believe what he shared with us.

Why would anybody bring a child on a trip to have a sasquatch experience?

I wasn’t even 5 minutes in and feel that something just isn’t right with this whole interview. I am really not one to judge or comment, but for some reason felt I had to. In all the years I’ve listened to interviews and stories, I never heard of anyone wanting to “chase” one into the woods and also having young children in tow. I absolutely love every story I’ve listened to so far on here. But this one is just off to me in more ways than one.

I'm very skeptical of places or events that charge a lot of money to give you an experience. They literally asked him what he wanted to experience. Somehow, it feels staged. That's why I've never been interested in Skinwalker Ranch, at all. I'm not saying this guy or many other people are not experiencing a lot of weird and unexplained stuff in the woods. I'm just saying that, to me, I'd be more convinced and satisfied if I experienced something randomly while hiking or camping in the woods.

Great interview! Thank you so much for sharing 🙏

Thank you for sharing!

Michael all I can say is WOW your experiences brings my puzzle to a new level.

These wonderful professionally made interviews are what keep me coming back. So glad you were able to go out and film some more for the channel! Good work guys! ❤️

Great interview. Love the way he tells of his experiences. Pure heart. Thank. You for sharing ❤ 🙏

It’s so very apparent he just relived all his experiences. 100% credible and an awesome story teller. I could listen to him for hours. Some people don’t understand so they doubt and make fun, perhaps those ppl, jus aren’t quite at a place in their journey, to understand such things.

If you are already well aware of the fact that experiences with these beings have ruined people's lives and their love for the outdoors, why in the world would you bring CHILDREN with you to look for these beings?!

Great testimony thanks 😊

100% connected to supernatural side of things.

Thank you for sharing your experience. Stay well and be safe 🙏 Texas Nana Psalm 91

"If I remember right"..the day we saw one on the Wakulla is emblazoned in my brain to never be forgotten. I still own the land but I bet I haven't been there 10 time's since and you couldn't make me stay after dark...

Thank you for telling your experience Michael. I know the courage it takes : )

Another member of the , "The club of no return".

Very interesting stories I am a believer for sure.. had different experiences in my life but as adults I would highly suggest not dragging your kids into the unknown..... let them find out for themselves... it's not all about you... your dragging them into it also think of them.. obviously by the Tone your voice you are now possessed and obsessed with it ... be careful... good luck

Thank you Michael. Enjoyed you retelling your encounters. Those negative comments.. they’re just jealous 😂

Happy birthday/birthweek, Shep! Loved hearing your stories. Just want to note that you DID get mindspeak. Seeing images or having feelings that communicate information to you is just another form of mindspeak. And don't worry that you didn't take them up on their first offer to show themselves to you. You will have many more opportunities to connect with them (as you seem to know). They are patient. They know they're scary to us, and that it can take some of us time to adjust to the idea of seeing them. So you haven't hurt their feelings. The fact that they made the offer in the first place shows how well they understand who you are and how much they know about what you're thinking! By the way, Les Stroud was given the same invitation. He heard them say, via mindspeak, "If you want to see us, we're here, two hills away." He's a brave dude, but didn't quite have the nerve to take them up on that invitation that night. So you're in good company. 😊 Oh, and you don't have to worry about not taking that rock, either. You didn't hurt their feelings with that, either. They understand, better than we do, that it's the thought that count. And because they can hear your thoughts, they know you saw the colored rock and how much you appreciated it. Sometimes they don't take things I leave for them, but they appreciate the intent. (I left a pretty thing for them in the woods once, and it was never taken. A friend who can mindspeak with them told me that they wanted the Pretty Thing to stay there, as a kind of reminder of the connection we have.) Okay, one last thing: I think the word "tagged" is not a good word. Hunters talk about getting their "tags" for game. The Sasquatch are not "tagging" us for nefarious purposes. They're just waaaay more intuitive than we are, which means they can connect with us any time they want, from any location. There is no threat in this. This is just their way of life. And someday, we will live the same way. Transparency is a good thing. 😊It means we cannot do harm to each other, because any bad thought we have toward another is known immediately. So all is well. Wishing you lots more adventures with your guys! Nothing more fun in the world than a good connection with the forest people. 😊🙏💚

Another wonderful interview!

my grand daughter goes everywhere with me. She helped me wrench on my truck when she was able to grab a tool. camping, hiking, swimming, concerts, the woods. She's gotta learn timber rattlesnakes, copperheads, how to start a fire. My intent is for her to become a camping/hiking/hunting partner. Danger is a part of life we learn to recognize and manage.

Here's my story: My husband suffered 5 years of cancer before finally succumbing in 2016. After his passing, I saw him in the living room. I heard him talking to me. I even saw him arguing with me. These were bereavement hallucinations. He had five years of cancer and I had had five years of taking care of him, trying to keep a job (which ultimately I lost), and waiting for the house to be foreclosed on while watching the roof literally come in on part of it. That's when I learned the mind is a very unknown thing. You might think you're in full possession of your senses, but you are NOT. I eventually got over the hallucinations. Just because you see or hear something, doesn't make it real.

@jenna I took care of my husband, who died of cancer, for years but I didn't have the terrible economic stress you had. You - and your brain - must've been exhausted... hence the hallucinations. This guy - and the others - were simply camping.

He is describing exactly how I've described it to ppl when it roared at me the sound the way it made me feel wow

Michael’s sisters comment “The children Are safe. We would never let anything happen to them” . What an ignorant comment! So you are going to stop a 900 lb plus Sasquatch?

I've never heard them howl or scream; I've heard them talking to each other, at first I thought it was hikers in the woods, they never showed up, so I thought maybe it was water gurgling over rocks under a bridge I crossed. I ended up standing about 10 feet from one, feeling like something was watching me, then I saw it, and it was watching me.

Hmm... Maybe best not to mock something that's over 7' tall! Lol!

It’s very sad that people are fascinated and put all their efforts into finding demons, instead of trying to be closer to God!

Sorry this dude lost me at taking a sleeping pill while camping w/ his kids. Very irresponsible he should never ever,ever take a sleeping pill while these beings are screaming right by his tent as he claims. Thanks for the episode .. He cant be trusted with his own kids to wake up in case of an emergency. Then I cant trust what he has to share. !!! A sleeping pill. Smh. O u want to sleep thru it if anything else happens and you lied to you crying baby.

😊 beautiful, this place is amazing Yakima, Roger and BOB from here, and this is Kool, and they are like us , sounds like it but your friends are very talented, 😊😊 awesome 😎 blessing to you and your family

Amazing, I would love to hear more of your story, the paranormal aspects in particular! Also, what is the name of your podcast? I would love to listen to the Skinwalker episode!

Well articulated with true authenticity. Probably my favorite interview yet.

Love this channel!

( FOREST PEOPLE ) BECAUSE HER TEEN SON WAS AROUND FOR OVER FOUR MONTHS EVERY NIGHT. SHE CAME AND PUT A STOP TO IT. SHE SAID FOR THEM IT IS Forbidden FOR THEM TO BE AROUND HUMANS for so long. SHE SHOWED ME AND SPOKE WORDS. SHE IS WISE BEYOND WORDS. SO MUCH SHE SAID SO MUCH.

Well spoken fella . Legit.

Would love to see photos or videos of these well-described experiences.

I love this guy’s honesty…. Love the way he thinks!!!!!!

I understand once you have an experience it changes your life forever...

Great experience ❤❤

Bigfoots know you mean them no harm when you take children into the woods.They do love children,and I can say from everynight encounters,they love and cherish their young ones as well.They enjoy raising their little ones over their head where we can see them.These beings have drawed on my house many times.They growl,thump their chest when we sing to them,and make all kinds of natural sounds,from push mowers,scooters,and fire truck sirens.

This sounds to me like from his perspective his experience was authentic. In regards to the first experience, I haven't heard of the place, Eseti? Not sure but I'm a little suspicious of a place which can point visitors to an encounter with that degree of accuracy /ease. I think this guy seems like a good dude. The place, to the skeptic in my head, sounds fishy. It gives me haunted hay ride vibes -I can imagine these things being staged for visitors. I wasn't there, I'm trying to make my point respectfully and without assumption, but, I dunno. In regard to the other experiences, where are the pictures of the prints and structures? Michael please bring a camera and an audio recorder. Just chuck them in the glove box with some batteries. Thanks for sharing.

Gracias Michael !!!! Saludos desde Argentina 🇦🇷

Who's able to go to sleep after seeing a Sasquatch? Lol!

Thanks

You're brave and glad you're safe. ❤

These creatures are dangerous man...we are all going to be reading about you in David paulidies missing 411 books ..

Great interview! I wonder where that pool of water the Sasquatch came out of would take you if you if you dove into it??!! Michael, when you go back to your habituation spot, use the utmost respect towards them. 🤠

Great video

That is key: that its all linked and all related. That means its way more supernatural/spiritual that most will never realize.

Why would you knowingly put your 10 year old child in a potentially deadly situation? Unbelievable.

AND YOU TAKE A SLEEPING PILL! So if something happens you are not aware?

When are people going to stop thinking that a mountain lion scream is a Sasquatch? Mountain lion scream sounds like a woman being murmured. Maybe Sasquatch imitate this , also? I don’t know. I’ve only ever heard a lion…I enjoy hearing these encounters. I take them all with me”a grain of salt “; interesting, nonetheless.

I heard that Jimmy church f2b episode. The Bigfoot footprint

I’m in Australia and was wondering when does paranormal Bigfoot come onto RU-vid or somewhere to rent ? Not just Vimeo is it coming to other platforms?

💚✨️🌲👣🌲✨️💚

Expert claim bigfooty is very elusive and very rare, yet thousands of people claim they’ve seen bigfooty?

So true about 'having a good heart'. On the 12th consecutive day of visiting the 'gift board' and seeing that 'they' were very subtilty moving things around, I decided to bring a camera along, to compare one day to the next - BIG mistake! It all went downhill from there. I visited 3 more times, the last, 15th time, to clean up. I never went back.

Be great to show the pictures he speaks of during the video 👌🏽

There are things in the world we can't explain. My friends and I were walking through a housing complex at night in Germany. It was pure evil and half human looking. We gave it a wide birth.

I appreciate the honesty of his encounter, but I keep asking myself. Why do you have your children with you? How could you be that crazy to put your children’s life in danger when they are plenty of Native American stories of these creatures, taken little children why would you have your children there?

Michael, it's not "clear" how long ago your "first encounter'' was with the "Sasquatch," so, I'll assume (for now) that you may not know the following information. The "beings" that most humans refer to as "Sasquatch" or "Bigfoot" greatly dislike both of those "labels." These "beings" are known as the "Xanu people," and, they are THE MOST genuinely indigenous humanoid beings currently living within this "earthly realm." The Xanu people exist in total harmony and balance with nature, however, they are also VERY INTELLIGENT and not only are they capable of verbally speaking our "language," they are extraordinarily telepathic and clairvoyant. The MOMENT a person "steps into any forest," the Xanu people intuitively sense and "know" exactly where that person is and what they are "thinking" at that time. Only humans that have been "free from" the mind-altering matrix control programming are "allowed" to actually "interact with" the Xanu people. Consider yourself very fortunate and greatly honored because this extraordinary tribe of people would not have communicated with you as they did if your mind was still "compromised." 👍😎

Would like to see the images of all the foot and handprints

Oh my how lucky you all are, I would love to have an experience but being in uk not a chance

This reminds me of the people who feed the bears at the dump plates of spagetti. Then the ranger has to set traps and relocate them bears. Why mess with the mysterious wonders? If it's meant for you it will come to you.

It bothers me when someone has a sighting or experience and then states that the sighting or experience invalidates every other thing in life that has a claim to truth. It really makes it seem like Sasquatch is just an excuse to disregard every indication elsewhere in the life experience that the person has issues with...ie; I saw Sasquatch, and that proved to me that my wife didn't leave me because I was a terrible husband, but because I believed and she didn't, and she couldn't stand me being right. I've seen this in so many different interviews...whether they are UFO, Sasquatch...you name it. The unfortunate thing is that it doesn't do any service to the real potential of a relic hominid existing in various forms throughout the world.

"Make sure you have a pure heart and that you feel the love". Obviously they havent worked in a call center for 8 years.

I know the exact experience he’s talking about hearing a Sasquatch bulldozing everything in its path. I had this happen three times in my woods.

I’m being serious now they liked you! You guys laughing brought them! Him hooting was wanting to be apart of that! They do talk telepathic!

Im going to try after 2 years to slp alone were I had some experiences , I know they'll show up, I just set out to UFO hunt Everytime before midnight ,after heavy rain, I do believe people gt tagged. Thanks I'm sharing these with a Cryptid group Im close too

A THOUGHT - If you spend one hour a week with God ... but six hours a week concerning Sasquatch ... How do you think God must feel?

This wasn't like the other videos. Something seemed 'off' for me.

I understand you wanting to experience a Sasquatch and all its mystery. Why would you take your children into this environment when you have no idea the danger that could be there.. Not all Sasquatch experiences turn out well.

Did he feel the warm breath on his ear of the invisible panting creature at Skinwalker? Or just hear the panting

The rocks sound like Bornite or Peacock Ore.

Camera? You want a good Sasquatch encounter and no phone/camera? No camera, really.

I find it kinna unique that born again Christian’s seem to have Bigfoot encounters often as well

It may be true but he took the up hill way around the mulberry bush to get to the story.

Bigfoot just wants to make people go away, that's all. And I can relate to that💚💚

He's Father of the Year for taking a child along on some sasquatch bucket list action. I've always been fascinated by rabid raccoons. My four-year-old and I are going to the dump to check some out. Make fun if 'em and all. Hear 'em scream....then take a pill to go to sleep. This channel is in the process of jumping the shark...

Terry Stafford suspicious minds🤣

Photos? Videos?

Someone well should load all of the BFRO and other reports into AI to predict their location.

Frequency and vibration. Sasquatch function in a world of physics which is beyond our understanding.

To do that to your kid is rediculous

What if these experiences are just form of occultic response to interior evocations. What if the intensity of the quest equate occultic rituals.

I call BS!

This guy has no shame, no self awareness. I'm surprised this interview is on your channel. He has no respect for anyone. He chased them, mocked them, called them "things," and "it," made children cry. Then he finds a beautiful stone , and he thinks it's a gift for him because why? Because he's such a great guy? His delusional self-importance is obnoxious. His advising others to "have a good, pure heart," is proof that he is clueless.What a piece of work. I think he can do better, and I hope he does by doing some self-reflection. We often don't progress unless someone challenges us to do so. I hope he sees this because I am challenging him to do better.

Says he has recordings and also found footprints. Not saying he is lying but why not bring something like that to the interview to show it? Seems strange. I've seen this a number of times with people claiming to have recorded this or that or have a gift or photo but they never show it.

I have a serious question. "What if" at these Dragon Lines or Ley Lines (where strange things happen) - what if what you perceive in your subconscious you create? Could this be why they say one has to be like Jesus to safely pass through portals? We are learning about the powers of intent. Something I have wondered. I mean if I go there in fear of seeing a Dinosaur, could it happen? Just curious.
