Bigfoot Sighting Reported in Utah's Uinta Mountains

Okay, fellow squatchers, you HAVE to check out this video I just stumbled across. The Rocky Mountain Sasquatch channel recently posted a field investigation that's seriously worth your time, especially if you're into the Uinta Mountains hotspot in Utah. The video centers around a sighting report submitted by a woman named "Mama Gibbler" — a grandmother who was camping with her husband and five grandkids back in August 2014, right near Bald Mountain (also called Mount Baldy) in the Uinta Mountains. And get this — the Uintas are basically the epicenter of Sasquatch activity in Utah. The range gets so much rainfall it's considered an inland rainforest, which makes it prime habitat for our hairy friends. So here's what went down according to her report. They were set up about 250 yards from Bald Mountain, and around 2:00 PM, her 13-year-old granddaughter spotted something running down an incline on the hill. At first, she thought it was a large man in a black jogging suit with a hoodie — like someone who might need help. Her husband was in the shower tent and getting annoyed with her calling for him to come look. Then it started raining, and the family piled into their utility trailer to keep watching. That's when things got really interesting. The figure stopped, turned, and just... watched them. The granddaughter got scared and said, "He's watching us." The grandmother described it as standing there looking back at them for several minutes before appearing to sit down. She tried to use a telescope they had for stargazing later, but it was all blurry, and of course they didn't pack binoculars. Here's the part that really got me. The next day, they were the only campsite left on a Friday — which she found strange. When her husband and one of the boys went down to pay at the road, they came back to find hundreds of people with cameras all over that same mountain ridge. She saw hikers on the ridge and realized the figure they'd been watching the day before was TWICE as tall as these regular hikers, with enormous thighs. That's when she knew it wasn't a person. The family was so shaken up they moved to a different campsite down the mountain. Funny thing — when they woke up the next morning, all five or more of the other campsites had packed up and left early. They were the only ones there. They didn't talk about it in front of the kids, but she was definitely freaked out. They didn't go camping at all the next year, and when they finally went back, they chose the other side of Bald Mountain because it was "a lot quieter." Now, the really fascinating part of the video comes when the RMSO team discusses their ongoing research in the Uintas. They've been finding these mysterious structures — tepee-style log arrangements — in and around sighting hotspots. And here's the thing: nobody in their right mind would camp on a 35-45 degree incline. So why are these structures being built on steep mountain sides? The team brings up an incredible piece of folklore shared by Les Stroud (yeah, the Survivorman guy) during an expedition. Some Pacific Northwest tribes have a tradition where every time a new baby is born into the family, they add a log to a structure to represent that new family member. The RMSO team has been tracking these structures on GPS since 2012-2013, and they've actually witnessed logs being ADDED to two of them — one in Yellowstone Canyon and one in Sasquatch Canyon (which was named by hunters back in the 70s because of all the sightings and footprints found there). Think about that for a second. They've documented logs being deliberately placed into these structures. Something — or someone — is actively building and maintaining them. Whether you believe these are territorial markers, birth markers, or something else entirely, it's hard to argue with physical evidence being updated over time. The Uinta Mountains continue to be one of the most active areas for sightings in the country, and this video is a great look at both a compelling witness account and the ongoing research happening in the area. Definitely worth a watch if you want to see what serious field investigation looks like — and hear a sighting report that really makes you think. Keep your binoculars packed, folks. You never know when you'll need them.
