Bigfoot Researcher Reviews Viewer Encounter Emails and Mental Prep Techniques

# Two More Pieces to the Puzzle: A Camper's Telepathic Contact and a Marine's Hunting Encounter Came across a video over on the Howtohunt YouTube channel where Steve is going through his inbox and reading out some pretty fascinating emails from people who've had run-ins with Sasquatch. If you haven't checked out his channel yet, you're missing out — he's got a massive backlog of witness stories he pulls from, and this particular upload is worth the listen. ## The Camper's Story The first one really got me. A guy writes in about an experience from about 15 years back when he was around 12 or 14 years old. He was on an 8-day canoe trip near Obabika River Provincial Park in Ontario — not in the park itself, but on the lakes nearby. For those unfamiliar with the area, Obabika is serious backcountry, the kind of place where you can go days without seeing another soul, and the terrain is thick with old-growth forest and rugged Canadian Shield landscape. Anyway, he volunteered to solo a portage trail down to grab the last of their gear while his buddies stayed at the new lake to eat lunch. Pretty quickly, he noticed it had gone quiet — no birds, no animal activity. Then he heard footsteps about 30 feet off to his left in the bush. Whatever it was, it was paralleling him. When he stopped, it stopped. When he ran, it ran. He called out thinking it was one of his friends playing a prank, but nobody came out of the woods. He made it to the end of the trail, grabbed the bags, and hauled ass back. When he got there, all his friends were exactly where he'd left them. Nobody had followed him. That alone would be enough to give anyone chills, but the second part of his email is where it gets really interesting. Just this past weekend, he was camping with his girlfriend and before bed, he did what a lot of us do — mentally acknowledged that he knows they exist and asked them to leave them alone. Right after that, he heard a voice in his head that wasn't his. It was deeper, and it said one word: *"Soon."* Ten minutes later, the same voice came through again: *"Use your eyes and you will see."* He says he couldn't sleep a wink that night, and he kept visualizing gray fur or hair — like an older one was trying to communicate. Now, this kind of telepathic contact is something that comes up a lot in Sasquatch encounter literature. Researchers like Dr. Jeff Meldrum and others have documented numerous cases where witnesses report receiving mental impressions or direct thought communication during or right before an encounter. It's one of those aspects of the phenomenon that really makes you wonder about the nature of these beings and how they might perceive us. ## The Marine's Hunt The second email comes from a former active duty Marine now living in Washington State — an avid outdoorsman who's had multiple encounters. He was elk hunting in the NCW (North Central Washington) region, silently moving through an area he's been to many times before. He was about to belly up on a rock to glass an area where he'd had success in the past when... well, the email cuts off there in the video, but the setup alone is enough to make you lean in. North Central Washington is prime Sasquatch country — the Cascades, the Okanogan, tons of remote timber and rugged backcountry. Elk hunters in that region have reported encounters for decades. ## Steve's Takeaway What I really appreciate about Steve's channel is the practical advice he tosses in alongside the stories. He talks about mentally rehearsing encounters while he's out hunting — pre-aiming his weapon, picturing what a Sasquatch might look like peeking out from behind a tree at 9 or 10 feet up. It's a way of training your brain so that if the moment ever comes, you don't freeze up or panic. He suggests doing the same if you spend time in the woods. Honestly, it's solid advice for anyone who spends serious time in Sasquatch territory. If any of this piques your interest, definitely go watch the full video. Steve reads both emails in their entirety and adds his own commentary, and there are apparently more interviews coming with members of the Arizona 4 and other witnesses he's been lining up. The channel's a goldmine for anyone collecting encounter data. Stay curious out there.
