A Sasquatch Responds to Native Drumming in Northwest Oregon | When the Forest Answered Back

49 minutes

In this episode, I interview Eric from Northwest Oregon, who shares a deeply unsettling Sasquatch encounter that occurred in August of 2000 on his grandparents’ remote homestead property. The land itself holds ancient history; arrowheads were frequently found, and Eric believes the property once served as a Native American camp. While building a remote cabin, Eric invited a Native American friend to camp with him.

His friend brought a traditional drum and played songs meant for the “forest people,” specifically honoring Sasquatch — a being his culture recognizes and respects. That night, without a campfire, the three slept in a small tent — Eric, his friend, and Eric’s loyal dog. In the early morning hours, the dog suddenly became alert… then terrified. Heavy footsteps moved through the woods. The ground seemed to vibrate. And then a powerful, guttural vocalization erupted from just 70 feet away — a sound filled with force and intent. Eric describes overwhelming fear, a sense of being watched, and a chilling feeling that the creature was assessing him — as if peering into his very soul.

The Sasquatch eventually walked away, its footsteps audible from hundreds of yards away before everything went dead silent. The next morning, Eric’s friend admitted this wasn’t his first experience — and was shocked that one had actually shown up. Eric believes the Sasquatch accepted them — and despite living and working in the woods ever since, he has never experienced activity again. He does not believe Sasquatch are evil… but he does believe they are unpredictable. This is a powerful account involving Native tradition, ancient land, fear, respect, and an encounter that forever changed how one man views the forest.
