The Most Incredible Bigfoot Encounter Ever Told 

"Where's Tim?" "Oh, he's in the corn field, playing with a troll." Worst. Babysitter. Ever.

I love how Randy drew himself as having an 8 pack at 10 years old. One of the best big foot stories I've heard can't wait to hear the rest

I was never interested in Sasquatch until 2 years ago when a good friend told me he encountered one while hunting in Kentucky. He’s an attorney and has zero motivation to fabricate a story about seeing a humanoid ape creature standing 8 feet tall at 5:30 am deep in the forest. I heard his story and thought to myself, “this is crazy, who the hell sees a Bigfoot and why and how and what the heck?” After listening to dozens of Sasquatch Chronicles podcasts there is no doubt these creatures are as real as it gets.

Randy's 100% correct about being 10 yrs old and having complete autonomy. Things were different back then. Prior to the mid 90s your parents had to be reminded to check on the kids by an announcement on the TV at 10pm stating "Do you know where your children are?" or something similar in case they forgot they had kids. You could leave the house on Saturday morning and not been seen by your parents for at LEAST 16 hours and no one would bat an eye. If you told them you were sleeping over at a friends, you could be gone 48 hours and no one would care. At age 10 being home alone for the evening, babysitting your 6 yr old brother was not a big deal. All that is within the city no less. When visiting rural relatives? You could vanish for a week into the woods with a shitty tent, a cartoon themed sleeping bag, and some canned food and your parents would be happy about it. They could sit and play sheep's head and drink with the other adults without being pestered.

The fact that Randy has never sketched before beginning to sketch his memories is the most intriguing. That and the telescoping fangs.

Whenever I think "It's been long since Bob posted something", he does. Works every time.

Wow! I can tell you put a lot of work into this, awesome job! Thanks so much! Anytime you want to stop over this side of the lake again, you're welcome! Thanks again, Bob!

I feel so sad for Mike...he just wanted to play. Does anyone else think this story COULD be an incredibly good horror film?

I think you didn't expect to saw a guy from roughly half way across the world to watch this but I'm amazed by your narration and Randy's illustration. Hello from Vietnam.

It's okay to let us know you need help. We'll do what we can to help you. You're doing good work Bob.

I had a soccer coach that was a search and rescue professional. This was a "no bs" type of guy. He had a famous dog named Ranger......anyways he was a believer. He told a story about a little boy that got lost in the woods for days. The conditions were so bad that the boy could not have survived by himself. The little boy said that a very tall hairy man took care of him. When asked if he had a beard, he said he was all hair like he had a beard all over. That story had made me wonder.

Listening to stories like this is something I'll never get tired of. Thank you Bob for doing what you do; I've gotten through some pretty rough patches with your content, and I can't wait to see what comes next.

His description of how they appear when running on all fours really jibes with my account. I already had bears on the brain after an earlier scare that day, so I had cognitive dissonance at what I was seeing scurrying across the path and into the brush. I made it fit the bear encounter, like a square peg in a round hole and it's been like that since 1975. Yeah, I'm a bit skeptical on the "recalled" memories, but have to admit the amount of detail is compelling. BTW, I'm almost 65, and can tell you that parents couldn't give a shit about what their kids were doing. I lived in what is now Silicon Valley, and we could hop on our bikes and ride 2-3 towns away, being gone all day and our parents wouldn't worry until after we missed dinner. Times have certainly changed.

Amazing how determined "Mike" was. In stories like these I'm always surprised how brazen (obsessive even) these creatures get despite not wanting to be spotted or caught.

I could easily justify never watching another bigfoot video at this point, as this is the absolute best one I've ever seen. The infra-sound alone is just... Thanks Bob and Randy

I use to have this guy on facebook back in like 2014, he would always post about this saying that nobody believed him. Glad he finally went to youtube!

'Oh, he's playing with a troll in the cornfield..." Best babysitter ever!

As an artist myself, both illustrators are top notch and are great partners in your story telling career. Randy's drawings are fantastic. Super tight and controlled. There are no missing details and thus his compositions are very prescribed. That said, his backgrounds and foregrounds have the exact same amount of detail - which looses that depth of field. Like the the deer in the background. If there is deer in the background, we don't need to see the nostrils, both eyes, fur and the number of leaves on the bush next to it. Randy being an artist and living this story himself - he captured exactly what he remembers - every detail. However, Fred's work has a bit more emotion to it. His loose style supports this. This is created by not overworking the drawing and leaving room for the imagination to sit at the table. You'll notice if you look at movie Storyboards, they share the same technique. Freds work gives the eye a place to rest. You can tell Fred does this for a living and been doing it for a long time.

Bob, you never disappoint!! Looking forward to next week!! The amount of thought that you put into your videos, the lack of sensationalism and the calm approach ALWAYS leaves one wanting more. Splendid job!!

I find it very hard to believe Randy had never drawn before. He’s using techniques that even experienced animators I know struggle with. Clearly he’s had some experience. Especially when it comes to how these look more like storyboards than pictures drawn from memory.

As a former smoker of 40 years, may I say Congratulations and here’s to breathing better! Your videos always amaze me, there is so much we as humans will never understand!

The amount of stories I have heard of Juvenile bigfoot's playing with young children is quite astounding. It's rare, but there seems to be many of these stories, from all over the world too. I don't doubt Randy's story for a second. Awesome vid Bob, thank you for taking the time to create this content.

Bob, YOU ARE AN OLD FRIEND!!!!! Thank you for an update. Your content gets me to sleep every night and I’ve listened to a bunch of them probably hundreds of times! Your rough cut content is better than 99% of others best effort. Whatever you drop we will love. Again thank you, your friend from the edge of the driftless zone. Cheers!!!!

This story is too fantastic to be believed and I'm surprised bob gave it as much attention as he did (As entertaining as it was)

Much respect to the Dad who didn’t want to shoot Mike and his family. Thank you Randy for sharing your story

Great video Bob. I can attest to what Randy said about growing up in the 1970’s, and although I’ve never quite heard it described that way, I’d have to agree that we were treated like little people. When I say that when not in school or some extracurricular activities that we were gone all day, I mean all day, often miles away from home. Sometimes we would go back to eat lunch, sometimes not. Our bicycles were the equivalent of cars for adults, and we rode them anywhere we could. As long as I was home for supper, it was okay. This may seem like neglect, but I assure you that somehow my mother knew where I was and who I was with when any trouble occurred. I know the idea must sound incredibly foreign to you, but if you were to somehow go back to that time with me or any other ’70’s child, after getting over the technological shock, I believe you would revel in the freedom we had. I’m incredibly grateful for having grown up at that place in time. Anyways, what an amazing story man, the mind boggles.

Growing up in Michigan, as a kid in the 70's, I thought nothing of the boys camping in the woods at their age. I find this to be very normal. My parents had a woods behind their house, the one I grew up in, and since the age of six, I would always go exploring. Times were different back then, we would ride our bikes all over, WITHOUT helmets. I can certainly appreciate how this might be considered reckless in today's climate.

As a child of the 70's the phrase "back then kids were treated like people" is a profound statement and so quotable and explains so much about what's going on with kids today. As an artist myself, you made good observations about the drawings.

This story went from "I saw sasquatch as a kid" to "Yeah, female sasquatch touched my nuts" and then finally ended with "Man, the government mindwiped me with chemicals" real fast.

This man was clearly traumatized by his experiences and the sudden output of artwork is not surprising. Art has long been used as therapy to help people deal with emotional issues. No doubt Randy has been helped by his many drawings. I was especially interested in his comment on the Michigan Dogman. I made a comment a couple of years ago on one of your videos about the Dogman and you asked me in response, "Do you think they are biological?" to which I replied yes. I'd love to hear more about what Randy thinks about the Dogman. Thanks for this video and congratulations on quitting smoking.

I'm amazed at how cautious and calm "Mike's "(juvenile sasquatch) parents (adult sasquatches) were, never acting aggressive despite the circumstances. What I can't place is how they let "Mike" run rampant despite the danger it put him in, perhaps they were inexperienced parents with little fear or knowledge of humans outside of guns?

the drawing of Mike's eyes turning red is perhaps the most terrifying possible depiction of a mammal

When I was a kid there was a field were me and my friends built a tree house. It was on large field maybe 500 ft wide and 2000 ft deep, one side had a hobby farm, the other three sides were rimmed with trees that had gave way to suburbs after a few dozen feet. The field was filled with these bushes that were about 4-7 ft tall, with long grass growing up in between them. In the centre of the field was a cluster of trees we built the tree house in. As we were building it, and clearing some bushes we found these 'tunnels'. The tunnels themselves ran in the bushes, completely invisible from the outside but quite homely on the inside. The tunnels all had hard packed earthen floors, the bushes branches made natural roofs overhead and they seemed to stretch out in every direction. They were wide enough for a child of 10-15 to comfortable walk on their hands and knees through but too short to stand. We would find larger cleared areas big enough for two or three kids to lay down in but the most interesting thing was that there was no entrance or exit. No noticeable hole anywhere in these bushes that would even give a clue to the tunnels hidden behind them. You simply had to force your way in through the foliage were you knew a tunnel to be. When we told our parents about it, they said it was probably just deer who made them. I remember thinking to myself, why would a deer want to crawl through a bush? The beginning of this movie suddenly reminded me of it.

Where is the human Mike now, and the family that packed up and moved? Are Randy’s parents still alive. Just asking if any other witnesses can support his story. His drawings are AMAZING. God bless you Randy.

Randy's story is absolutely amazing. The childhood events obviously are fantastic enough, but what really floored me is how having no formal art training or previous doodling, he scratches out a bunch of drawings that are quite impressive. Drawing 3-dimensional scenes and objects is very difficult, but Randy nails it. Thanks for sharing your experience with us, and thanks to Bob Gimlan for bringing it to YT.

I love your channel, but this is coo coo. I mean, it's just insane in every way. Not sure I can get on board with this one, but it was fun to listen to. In terms of kids having endless freedoms in the 70's, this is completely accurate. We would travel miles from home and be gone for hours. Activities like camping with friends in the deep woods was commonplace. No one thought a thing about it. My friends and I did it quite often as 4th and 5th graders. Parents never blinked an eye. I'm sure it does seem strange to most folks today, but that was the mindset in the 70's, and we are better for it.

I feel sad for Randy to lose a friend like that. I am heartbroken for Mike and his family. This happens every day to people and animals all over the world.

One thing I have to say, being several years older than Randy, is that he is absolutely correct about rural children in the 70s. A friend and I built a fort deep in the woods, and we were allowed to spend virtually every night in it on weekends or when school was out. Another thing he got right was his drawing of the ambulance. We had old Cadillac ambulances back then. As for the rest of it, it seems pretty far fetched. Especially the Men in Black and the soldiers.

As someone who is open-minded as to the existence of sasquatch (beings very similar to them did exist in the ancient past, after all), this story has a few things which hit me as red flags. 1. He only remembered at about age 30, because he was brainwashed by a shadowy government or extra-governmental organization...sounds a bit odd. 2. The body is of course taken, as are the photos and the other witnesses never spoke out, all because of the super convenient "men in black." Sounds a bit suspicious. It sounds all a bit too convenient, "hey, all this amazing stuff happened to me, but nobody has any proof of it aside from me because "the men in black" took everything." Again, this isn't meant as a rebuttal or anything, it is just me giving some of my skepticism and doubts. Afterall, I have experienced some strange stuff myself.

Halfway in, I'm thinking this would make one heck of a movie.

I can’t express enough my appreciation for Randy telling his story and the way you presented it. Excellent work, as always!!

I grew up in the 70's. It was a much different world for kids then. You could actually camp out in the woods or go catfishing all night long without fear of getting snatched. I grew up in Ohio. So i can understand how Andy and his friends were allowed to stay in the woods all day. We didn't have video games back then. We had to make our own fun. Nowadays I never let my kids and grandkids out of my sight...

I want to thank you for your incredible story-telling while describing these accounts. Your videos, particularly the louisianna encounter with the tied snakes, have directly inspired a tabletop game where my players are stalked by a less-than-polite Sasquatch. Its the first tome I’ve felt willing to run in a long time. Like you, I’d been worrying about perfecting my games to the point of never letting people enjoying them. Keeping making great work!

I am stupidly stunned by the realism of Randy's Truth and even more so by your storytelling skills. Having had "grown up" back then, I too recall familial adults not being overly concerned if you were in the woods or out of doors long after dark. My parents used to start looking for me when it came time to go to bed. Often if they couldn't locate me, they would call the neignbor's house to ask them to please let me know that they had gone to bed. It was Kansas in the 1960's and Randy is right, children were treated as yound adults. But then again, I don't ever recall hearing of a child being tracked and molested or worse by another human being in those days either. We did however have our share of "wildman" stories back then in those dark woods edges where the single outdoor light bulb made them seem even more menacing. My grandmother lived on a farm outside of Pratt Kansas. We use to sit outside her house in the summertime with my grandfather who would never sit outside in the dark without his shotgun nearby. We never quesstioned why, it was just something he did. Later in my teens he told me of "forest men" who would ofter come to the edge of the darkened trees and peer at the house while the outside light was on. "You could see their eyes" he would say, and and that he knew that chickens or feed would be missing by morning. i always hated staying there because of the overwhelming sense of vulnerability and the darkness. Anyway great production Bob and thanks.

It must have been awful for Mikes parent when they realized he wasn't fleeing with them, then looking for him, not finding him and finally discovering he was not only dead but what the humans had done to him. If they hadn't decided to leave and had gotten aggressive in their grief things could have ended very poorly for everyone there

I can't imagine the emotional toll it took to hear and hold this story all this time. So compelling and moving on so many levels. Excellent and sensitive treatment of a horrifying and amazing recounting. The art work is almost miraculous for a ten year old and untrained young adult.

The fact that Randy says he never drew before is less believable than his Bigfoot story

I definitely don't think that Randy is making this up because of the way he recalls the events. He doesn't stutter or take any breaks. It's very fluid the way he talks and explains everything in minute detail. Although it does sound hard to believe, I just find it fascinating and quite believable in my opinion. Thanks Bob

The 1970s was a great time to be a kid. Yes, we had much more freedom back then to camp out in the woods etc. Especially if you were living in the country as we did. So, yes, his sharing the story of how they had decided to camp out resonates with truth as that was common then for kids to do that then. We also did not have video games to pass the time then so we spent our summers outside playing and exploring the woods and creeks. I love your videos and appreciate them very much, thank you.

As a child of the 70's, it's not that parents treated us like you said...rather we had expectations of being responsible and accountable for our actions that doesn't seem to exist anymore. We given great freedoms, but expected to be able to handle them as well. There's a lot in this old world that younger generations will never know...

This is absolutely a spectacular story. I've noted several compelling details such as the tusks, infrasound and it's relation to the hiss, that organ next to the heart, and juvenile behaviors. If he can really reason with Bigfoot keep him around. I enjoyed watching you die inside. Quick question: Is this the big project? I remember you saying Fred was working on it so I would assume not. I looked through comments you posted and you said it would come out last Sunday. Not complaining, please take all the time you need and more so it will only be better, just curious. Thank you for blessing us with another wonderful video. 100% your reaction is justified, this is wild. Nice snooping while on set btw.

I don't even care if this is a hoax. The story and artwork rock.

Lifetime Michigander, same age as Randy. I remember some of the things mentioned in this story, especially about the dicey bus driver and the feed contamination. Us kids back then were constantly outside, unsupervised, having daily adventures. In the summer months, as friends traveled and returned, we would hear rumors of strange happenings in other parts of the state. I look forward to hearing more of the interview.

This is an extremely interesting story and Mike's behaviour is very believable. I would say that Randy forgetting the whole thing and rediscovering it years later could be a case of repressed memories or he even created some false memories after a traumatic event to explain why he only began remembering all of this at 30 years old. This is sounds more realistic to me rather than some top secret government memory removal scheme.

I’m an artist and from my perspective, those images are really fascinating. The proportions and even muscle anatomy are spot on, and this usually takes a lot of studying anatomy to incorporate it into your own art. If he went from not drawing to those sketches, well now that’s crazy impressive.

In the beginning of my recovery of substance abuse, i learned i could write poetry as well as draw i am now 30 years away from that point. Between this share and my artist church friend Beth's paintings, i am going to start my daily commitment to face and portray childhood trauma. Prayers please.

Watching all the way from the tiny little island country of Maldives 🏝️ Never been into a forest, never seen the woods or even experienced wild animals, but given all the overwhelming evidences, I believe this fascinating animal exists! This is my favorite cryptid channel, favorite story teller & honest to God this is the most fascinating Sasquatch encounter I've ever heard and without an atom's weight of doubt, I believe every word of Randy! This happened! This is on another level! Wow! Language will do little to no justice in describing how we feel when we're watching and listening to this most fascinating story! I watched last night before I went to bed and now it's morning right now and I'm watching it again! This will forever be embedded in my mind! Thank u so much for this video!

I think even if the whole Bigfoot story wasn’t real, Randy may have gone through some sort of serious trauma at that time as a kid. That kid being taken, and Randy being in a very vulnerable situation in the shed could be memories of something similarly traumatic re-emerging after being repressed for a long time. I’d be interested in hearing other’s accounts of his story. Either way I’m sure Randy believes he was telling the truth. And I hope he’s doing well.

Thanks, sir. These illustrations are great. The work here is appreciated and live interview segments are awesome to have documented. I look forward to the full interview/video. Very sorry for the monetization drama. Good on you for quitting cigarettes.

Shout to Randy’s drawing skills. Should make a comic, or cartoon. Even a short. About this. I’d watch

Don’t be so hard on yourself! You did a great job on this video! Be proud of what you put out for us!

Hell yeah, Bob’s back! These stories are amazing. I can’t bring myself to believe that all of them are fake. These creatures are so consistent between stories and with other apes, and there are so many stories, going back through the ages. It’s amazing. These creatures have to be out there somewhere, or at least they used to be. Your narration really brings these things to life. I love that you don’t do the normal terrible cryptid video thing where some guy with a played up voice goes through a top ten list of fake stories with terrible edited “footage” to go along with it. You really put effort into these, and try to understand and think critically. Huge props man.

My first video I've seen of yours, Bob, thought you were the original Gimlin at first but you've paid his legacy homage and you've most certainly done Randy's story justice. Your coverage of his story had me completely immersed, hook line and sinker. I'm watching it again now.

Wow! That is an amazing experience, and the way Randy was able to draw the memories to bring up more memories is fascinating. Thank you. Looking forward to the next part.

Incredible story. Thanks to Randy for sharing it and his illustrations. And thanks to you Bob for putting it together. What Randy said about kids in the 70’s is 100% correct. We did things and were allowed to do things that todays parents couldn’t fathom to let their kids do. Like 10 year olds going camping in the woods. It was just a different time with less to worry about.

Yep, this is the most incredible story I have certainly ever heard. A masterpiece.

Why is this the most adorable story I've ever heard? I've always wanted a Bigfoot friend as a kid. Poor Mike, pour one out for my boy Mike. Also Randy is CRAZY talented art-wise. He should do a graphic autobiography.

I don't know what to think. I'm kind of mind blown. Very few people could tell a lie of that detail. The illustrations are amazing. I'm so glad i found this.

About the freedom the boys seemed to have. I grew up in a rural area in the 50’s and 60’s. My parents were strict and eagle-eyed, but it was a part of being a kid to take off into the woods all day. We roamed for miles where there were no houses or people. All the kids did. We never had problems. It was when we were around people that we were careful and cautious.

until today, your recount of the "cowman" story was the only one to give me chills. this story has handily taken the top spot. looking forward to hearing the interview in its entirety. sincere thanks for the work your doing.

Randy's art is amazing. Even if it was all fiction it would be worth its own novel or short story. There are some aspects of the story that are especially fantastic particularly the extending fangs, red eyes and 'bubbling face' because there's little or no natural precedent for those things. Not that it's impossible but it's fantastic. I think there are elements of illusion or manipulated memory or perception in many, if not all, paranormal encounters. Details that are illusions, subconscious coping mechanisms, planted memories, group hysteria, post-encounter rationalizations .. there are so many possibilities when it comes to recalling details from memory. I think this is why it's important to record details as soon after an event as possible when it is still fresh, especially to remind yourself that it did happen.

Your name is correct. This is, by far, the most amazing sasquatch story I've ever read/heard/watched. Thank you for posting! There's no doubt in my mind that Randy is honest. You've earned a new sub.

I found this story, this testimony absolutely overwhelming. I feel sorry for what happened to juvenile Mike. But also for Randy, the sequence of events was not funny for him either. Very cordially from France 🇫🇷 ✌🏼♥️

Late 70's was VERY common to just go out and be out for the weekend as a kid. It was a different time. As a kid (this is late 80's early 90's), my parents dropped me off at the roller rink when it opened, gave me $5 for snacks and drinks, misc. They would go pick me up after it closed. So as a 9-11 year old, I'd be by myself for a good 7 hours with lots of strangers and if I needed a parent, I had to use the phone at the front desk and ask nicely, otherwise meet at the place around the time. Today it would certainly be child endangerment. Things moved slower back then, like finding a specific library book might take weeks of asking different reference librarians and big branch libraries. "Hey mom, going camping with my friend tonight" "Ok, have fun".

Lived my entire life in Michigan and Northern Michigan is where I had my Sasquatch sighting. LOTS of Michigan is rural and very densely wooded. Perfect habitat for these guys. And having grown up in the 70’s…yes, Randy is correct. People used to treat kids like people, not “Pomeranians with bank accounts “. More like small adults.

We love your videos, BUT this guy sounds like a flake!!

This story hurts my heart. Poor, poor Mike. I keep thinking about the Independence Day bigfoot footage, and the love and care that the mother sasquatch displays when moving to protect her child. These are clearly creatures (that word never really feels right, does it?) that have close family bonds. The thought of Mike's poor parents losing him in such a traumatic fashion is deeply upsetting.

These pictures are awesome. I love when narration of an event has drawn pictures so we can visualize the event better. Keep up the great work.

Best notification to recieve is an upload from Bob, keep it up my friend!!

I'm very open-minded about Bigfoot existing and I think there's a very real chance that he does, but I think this story is indeed "incredible" in the literal sense of the word. There are practically countless aspects to this story that require you to suspend varying (and at times, enormous) amounts of disbelief for the story to make any sense. If you strip away all of the fantastic detail and elements that are woven into this narrative, you are left with a set of alleged facts that sound either directly out of a science-fiction movie or a paranoid person suffering from psychosis: A network of bushes that have been hollowed out and interiorly decorated by sasquatches with manmade objects yet are barely tall enough for a 10-year-old boy to stand in? A boy who is abducted by sasquatches yet miraculously survives but is too traumatized to ever speak about what happened in the woods? A babysitter who repeatedly lets the child they're watching go out of sight into a cornfield to play with an orangutan in Michigan? Randy develops a playful relationship with what he thought was an orangutan? The juvenile sasquatch is somehow perfectly able to mimic and extrapolate the sound of a cat meowing even though it's likely never heard a cat meow before? The juvenile sasquatch is able to produce "infrasound" to a paralyzing effect? The juvenile sasquatch's face looks like its boiling when it produces a sound? The sasquatches' eyes turn a glowing red when they become angry? They were able to kill a juvenile sasquatch and determine that it, despite being ostensibly anatomically similar to humans and primates, has two hearts, and a boy took pictures of this autopsy yet none of those pictures survived? A mysterious tribal organization that is not funded by the government yet somehow has memory-loss-inducing drugs and conveniently removes the sole body of the juvenile sasquatch? The news, police and National Guard are involved at numerous points in this story and there's no public record of any of this happening? There are countless witnesses throughout and none of them are alive / able to corroborate this story at all? He doesn't begin to remember any of these events until 20 years after they occurred and then suddenly is able to draw and recount them perfectly after 40 years? Virtually any of these questions are incredibly difficult to explain using real-world logic and science on their own, and the claim that they all occurred as drawn and recounted is almost completely impossible to believe. The drawings themselves all have a cartoon-like quality to them. Granted, he allegedly had no prior artistic interest or training, but none of them seem to resemble even an attempt at a photorealistic drawing. I think it's significantly more likely that he's simply a very creative person who came up with this far-fetched narrative and perhaps legitimately believes it. If he took the time to write this narrative down in detail for himself and spent years rehearsing and ruminating the scenes / memories, I don't think it would be hard for him to recount them in a way that appears like he is pulling from real memories. He likely has even built this alternate reality for himself such that he genuinely believes what he is saying. In effect, he would genuinely be recalling these details from memories, but the memories were manufactured, not experienced.

I absolutely love this channel. I caught a 5 second glimpse of one while deer hunting in 2001/2002 (can’t remember which year) and have been so interested ever since. Fantastic work.!!

Hey Bob! Great interview. His drawings sure helped me accurately visualize the different goings-on. I hope you could further expand on this. Interviewing his mother and father mabe? This is awsome. Watching from Kelowna British Columbia Canada 🇨🇦👍🇨🇦

Bob I’ve been a subscriber since I found your channel bout a year ago. Of all the researchers I have listened to on you tube I find you the most sensible level headed of them all. I understand your hesitation with releasing this. But this is the best story/ video I have ever watched in this subject. The story still needed to be told and I think you told this “uncomfortable “ story the best way possible. I personally believe his story even though I don’t believe most “uncomfortable “ stories of this nature. Sometimes it’s stories like this they don’t get told because people fear the result. Thank you Bob for telling it. I have listened to this at least 5 times it’s an awesome vid.

You continue to be a badass content creator sir but your writing - God damn sir - it’s inspired and inspiring. Thank you for all your hard work.

Bob, I, I've followed You for several years and I greatly appreciate Your efforts in attempting to better understand a part of our world that is mostly unseen, some would say, "Supernatural" or "Paranormal". I am an American combat Vet and proudly served with the U.S. Army 505th PIR 82nd Airborne Division. Twice while overseas I experienced odd incidents of time seeming to become erratic. Something like certain incidents occuring much too rapidly, or periods of time that seemed to jump from one point to another with no normal interlude. Like a Video Tape missing a segment and jumping ahead. I was not the only Troop that experienced this. My entire squad perceived this phenomena as well. My point is that, yes, I totally believe that there is a Paranormal side to life that we know little about. And, at times it is quite frightening and therefore quickly put aside and ignored as if it never took place at all. Again, my heart felt Thanks to You and Your honest and sophisticated of investigating and reporting on Paranormal events in an attempt at shedding light on a part of Life we little understand.

Great job being thorough in your appraisal of the story. Addressing the doubts of your viewers and thinking aloud about your own temptations to doubt is really helpful.

This was an amazing story Bob! Wow!! Ad the illustrations are of such great quality that it marveled me. Growing up in the 70's I can understand the freedom that these kids had as I had the same. Always alone walking through fields, woods and cornfields. Adults just kind of let us loose to explore on our own or with friends. This was the best recollection of a bigfoot event that I have heard. Please, please, keep up the good work. Thank you!

WOW OUTSTANDING PRESENTATION BOB! Gezz the illustrations are best ive ever seen too. Thank you for sharing

Bob, I'm so upset that YT isn't paying you for the amazing content you produce. I can't tell you how happy it makes me when I see that you've uploaded a new video because I know that I'll be entertained and asked to question something new. If money is slowing down the production of your videos, I might be able to help with illustrations. There's a couple of old videos on my YT channel that can show you that I'm not too shabby of an artist.

I’m skeptical of the story but I loved it! Thank you!

When the world needed him the most, he returned

Great story. Incredible! I love the illustrations. Particularly the colorful sunset with the ambulance and police car in front of the barns! Randy's art is quite compelling. I was born in 1963, and was a pre-teen in the early 70's, teenager in the mid-70's. I grew up rurally. We were a feral bunch. Little parental oversight. Randy is absolutely right about that part!

Hands down favorite video yet! Considering the quality content that comprises, what happens to be, my favorite channel, that's saying something. I was born, raised and spent the first thirty something years of my life in Michigan, so maybe that has something to do with why this one felt so special to me. That said, this one hits different no matter where your from! Thanks for everything! Sincerely! I am beyond excited for the promised follow up video! As a side note, I must say that even being born in 83', childhood, at least where I was raised, was unbelievably different than it is today. I was sure that possible bit of contention would be raised whilst viewing this, and I believe it was covered correctly. Although danger was very real even back then, unfortunately the world has moved far beyond those days when stranger danger felt as unlikely as being hit by lightening.

What an intriguing account this is! Thanks for putting this together, Bob. It's horrifying, but I really like it. Randy's illustrations are wonderful and haunting. It's the kind of thing that really keeps me hooked into believing that Sasquatch could very well be real, after all. I'm with you; I think he was telling the truth. Randy is like the Bob Lazar of Sasquatch lore. I'm looking forward to seeing the interview next Sunday. Best of luck in keeping your videos monetized, my friend.

This is certainly interesting. But I am someone who I think could generate a story from my childhood and weave in real events and make it believable also. The levels of freedom the kids had doesn’t surprise me as i am randys age. What gets me is this is very cinematic, it’s a developed story but which I mean real or imagined it’s become something more. Plus we have almost too much here, we have new anatomical info, we have home guard, men in black and so much else. This doesn’t mean this didn’t happen but also it comes over as very story like, by which I mean most real world stories have gaps, this doesn’t, we get it all. We know what was going on even though Randy was in ambulance, we have Randy even witnessing each other part of the story. Doesn’t a baby sitter or parents think it’s odd kids playing with a monkey ? Don’t you think sasquatch the creatures who hate evidence being left, wouldn’t run and grab their own child’s body ? What kid of ten has a camera, as pictures cost a lot of money back then, we didn’t have digital ? These good ol boys do an autopsy, sounds believable, hunters will try and see what they have, but of a monkey human hybrid ? Really ? How convenient that parents show up just then ? I’m truly sorry, but the story does sound just a little too good. I love the red eyes, infrasound, retractable teeth, internal genitals and two hearts ? I mean two hearts, do you know what anatomically that would mean in evolutionary terms ? Sorry you don’t just have two hearts and the rest works normally, primates have fine tuned hemostatic systems and two hearts ? Bob you know that’s fishy don’t you ? Then we get to silencing the witnesses, men in black, methods of investigation. I mean why surround a child and ask them for info, surely they could just ask the landowner where he put the body and he would say ? This is what I mean, this is all too story like with Randy being the centre of things. I don’t doubt Randy experienced some childhood trauma, no doubt. I’m not a psychologist so won’t speculate beyond saying child abuse of various types were more common then and the effects run deep. Randys description, the need for parents, the giant creature, his trousers being removed, do all point to another possible direction as well. The story is powerful yes, but for me seems very very tactile, the sniffing, mimic games, touching, comparing feet, grabbing, lots of touch. I’m not sure but i think perhaps this is a powerful response to something and when he gets into the men on black areas I start to truly doubt this. Still thanks for bringing this to light.

I had an encounter in the early 80’s here in Australia with a juvenile who at first we thought was a chimpanzee that may have escaped from a circus, we were wrong, it had somehow managed to get it’s leg caught under a log, we were able to get to within about 10 feet of it, that’s when we both realised it was no chimp, it’s haunted me now for 38 years, I was 13 at the time

This was extremely well done Bob, with Randy's talent for illustration and your storytelling capabilities, I was very impressed. I can tell the work put into this was extensive and genuinely true. I enjoyed it. Thank you.

I love the fact that he made all those drawings, he's very talented and I bet telling his story has been a motivator to get to that level. A fellow draftsman and researcher.

I hardly ever read the comments on Bob’s videos, however after reading these I see why I don’t. This was an incredible story, believe it or not, it was real to him so with that there’s no need to speak on his motives to share it. I think this would consume my life as well if this was my experience as a child…dream or not. The internet is so shallow and dense you can’t even share your thoughts and experiences without being scrutinized. Keep up the videos Bob, this channel is great. Believe or don’t, but keep your negativity to yourself!

As someone who can have the same extremely vivid dream multiple years apart, I can feel a lot of the same vibes I get from those dreams that I get from Randy's stories. The dream happens and then it is forgotten until it happens again years after. The sense of deja vu from seeing the dream for a second time makes it familiar, seeing it for a third time or more makes it increasingly difficult to separate from reality. But even worse than that, is I can also have dreams of something that actually happened, so it's real but also with some dream elements added to it. So, if I always get my foot caught on a fence, anything in my dream would get their foot caught on the fence, regardless of how agile the creature is. Or if I saw a movie with a monster with retractable fangs that traumatized me, that could then be added to the dream. After a while, it becomes impossible to differentiate between the real memory and the dream.
