Bigfoot was probably concerned for the poor horse that was under that guy.

A pretty good story. I am not sure the pulverized logs have anything to do with it, so I would not discount the man’s story for it.

Do they allow you to prospect on land inside a National Forest? Perhaps they were just taking a short cut to get to their site through it. I would like to see the rest of that video.

This story has a ring of truth to it. The witness seems like he knows the area and critters around it. The ripped up logs are a perfect sign of a large animal feeding. This is exactly what I would think a Sasquatch would use as a food source. Neat story!

Just what the doctor ordered. Great, a good story before hitting the sack.

Interesting story this man has but throw another eye witness account story on the pile. They’re all fine and well and I am pretty sure this man is truthful and did see Bigfoot. But until there is very serious solid evidence eg: a real specimen and not blurry pics and cheesy footprints or bear pelts sewn into skull caps or animal bones or body parts pretending to be big foot parts all there is is stories, he said and she said. I wish they would just find a specimen sometimes instead of having a great story. So people would take this serious I would love to see that story on Good Morning America, a real live Bigfoot.

I really enjoy reading these types of Sasquatch encounters? or stories? Most do happen by chance. What I mean is you are out doing something other than looking for Bigfoot. Then it happens like the story above. He may be credible but I need to see one for myself. Until then we need to do more research. We can also learn a lot from these encounters by comparing them to each other. I wish this could have happened to me. I then would know for myself that it was true and not just another story. Lets face it. If they are out there we are closer than ever to their discovery. Like Loren says,” If you have a more open mind and are willing to look for things, you might actually find them’.

Thanks for the post Loren

Calash, that never crossed my mind; thank you for the input. Now this is why I love checking this website so much, because of all the smart people that care to share their 2 cents
Oh, and cryptidsrus, that Bobo’s account sure sound like a tall tale but nevertheless, I have read other accounts of Bigfoots that big, and if I had the chance to find myself face-to-face (or rather face-to-navel!) with a creature that big, I sure as hell would try my best not to make him angry!

Ref. “pulverized” logs
This could be logs that have been on the ground for many years.
They may have rotted internally but the bark kept them together until a bear or something else decided to go looking for grubs.

What exactly is this “credible witness” standard we are evaluating Mr. Josephson against? Does he sound like he is lying? Not in my opinion. But I think you need more than that before you can establish someone a “credible witness.”

Being a lazy creature of the internet, allow me to quote a random web page I found:

To gain credibility, we must be assured, first, that the witness has not been mistaken nor deceived. To be assured as far as possible on this subject, it is proper to consider the nature and quality of the facts proved; the quality and person of the witness; the testimony in itself; and to compare it with the depositions of other witnesses on the subject, and with known facts. Secondly, we must be satisfied that he does not wish to deceive: There are strong assurances of this when the witness under oath is a man of integrity and disinterested.

Mind you, I am not saying Mr. Josephson is NOT a credible witness, merely that we (based upon the video alone) don’t have the information in front of us to make a competent judgment of that. This is why I was wondering if there was any physical evidence gathered from the site. A statement from the other guy (Brian Belnap), would also be helpful, if only to help establish the back story.

After all, if someone were making up a story (and I am NOT accusing Mr. Josephson of this, I’m saying “if”), they could easily sound as convincing (in other words, some liars are capable of sounding truthful). I’m not prepared to say I would be able to detect a false story told confidently without considering other factors.

Definitely a credible witness.

RED_PILL_JUNKIE:

You talk about a 7-foot Sasquatch?
That’s nothing. I once read a report by a guy called BOBO (believe it or not!) who says he saw an ELEVEN-FOOT Sasquatch—(that’s what HE says he SAW-not me) soemwhere in Northern California. I later saw his picture in the MAtt Hoyle photograph book ENCOUNTERS—which just came out. I’m not saying with absolute certainty that what Bobo saw was real, but if it was, it would not surprise me soemthing that huge could do any sorts of things.
Stranger things have happened…
I do agree with you, though, that on the surface it looks VERY offbeat.
