Welcome, fellow Squatchers! Today, we're diving into a captivating tale that was shared on the YouTube channel, Bigfoot Lovers. This video takes us back to the tranquil hills of Maple Hollow in the early 90s, a time when life seemed simpler and summers felt endless.
Our story begins with a visit to a friend's grandparents' place, a quaint wooden house nestled deep in the foothills, surrounded by towering pine trees and undulating hills. The house, much like the memories associated with it, hadn't changed much over the years. The porch still creaked, a crooked windchime swayed gently with the breeze, and the faded red shed leaned a little more each year.
However, our young friend, Alex, started noticing peculiar changes. The animals, usually calm and going about their business, began acting strange, especially around the shed and the old greenhouse just beyond it. Rusty, the old dog, stopped barking and grew low, steady growls. The chickens stayed close to the house, pecking nervously, and the goats refused to enter the corner of the yard they once loved.
Alex also started hearing a low, steady sound at night, a tune made from wind and something heavy. It came from the trees, sometimes from behind the shed, always after dark. He'd lie in bed and listen, holding the blankets close, feeling a tightness in his chest. Shadows began to appear out in the woods, just past the edge of the lantern light, taking on quick movements and tall figures standing still, just inside the tree line.
One night, Alex's grandpa sat him down on the porch and shared a startling revelation. He'd found something unusual down by the old greenhouse behind the shed. There were signs, broken branches, deep footprints, too deep for any man. One night, he saw them - two tall, furry creatures, standing there watching. They didn't act wild, didn't growl or charge, just stood there.
Alex's grandpa explained that they were Sasquatch, Bigfoot, or whatever one might choose to call them. They weren't trying to hurt anyone, he said. They just needed shelter, so he made some rules. No coming near the house. No messing with the animals, no stealing from the food stores. As long as they followed those rules, he let them be.
Alex felt a chill run down his spine. He'd always thought of the woods as quiet and peaceful, but now he knew something else lived out there. Something real, something watching, but not unfriendly, just different.
A few evenings later, Alex decided he had to see them for himself. He flew a drone over the back shed, careful not to crash into the pine trees. Then he tilted it toward the greenhouse, the one Grandpa said they were living near. At first, nothing. Just quiet trees, thick grass, and shadows from the fog. Then something moved. Slow and smooth. Too big for a man, too quiet for an animal.
Alex leaned in toward the tiny screen. The drone caught it barely. A figure, tall and broad, moving between the trees behind the greenhouse. Then another. This one was shorter, a bit slimmer, but moved with a strange grace, like it knew it was being watched. The drone's camera glitched for a second. Lines ran across the screen. Then, just for a moment, both figures turned. Their eyes looked right into the lens, glowing faintly, not angry, not scared, just aware, like they knew he was there.
The drone lost signal and dropped right into the trees. Alex stood frozen, controller still in his hands. He didn't feel scared, not in the way you'd expect. His heart was pounding, but his thoughts were calm. He had seen them. They were real, not monsters, not stories from old books. Real breathing creatures.
After the drone crash, Alex didn't go near the greenhouse again. He didn't have to. He'd seen enough to know it was all real. Every strange noise, every quiet look from Grandpa, everything made sense now. But instead of fear, Alex felt calm, almost curious. He started leaving small things near the edge of the tree line. Not deep in the woods, just at the border where the tall grass began. At first, he tried apples, then a slice of bread. Sometimes a sweet biscuit Grandma had baked. For days the food just sat there untouched. Then one morning the apple was gone. No prints, no marks, nothing.
Alex's grandpa didn't say anything. But when Alex walked into the kitchen, Grandpa looked up from his chair, nodded once, and said, "So, you saw them?" Alex just nodded back. Nothing more needed to be said.
