They looked up and in this tree there was a monkey man and the monkey man jumped down out of the tree and started running away. And suddenly they're right in front of the car. He slams on the brakes and manages to stop and he skidding because it's not quite, you know, grabbling. And literally for about a second and a half, they just stood there because they don't know where to go and you tell them panicking. their face is like switching.

All right, Bigfoot Society. we've got the privilege of talking to a new friend today.

This is George from Oregon. He's got a few interesting encounters to share with us about Bigfoot back in the 1980s, I believe. But George, how's it going today? Oh, it's gone pretty good. Real fine. I was born in Clement Falls, Oregon. And our family, we are a fourth generation, McNair. family in Oregon and all of this spent a lot of time hunting and fishing and doing

that sort of stuff I went to Medford High School graduated in 1965 and what else here Okay. And I'm a landscape architect that lives in Coos Bay, Oregon. So let's start out. Back, I'm just going to estimate the date. Back in about 1980, my friend Bill and I, but he and I were wood cutting. We lived in Medford, Oregon at the time. And I had a big wood truck, and we drove north of Metford up towards a small logging town called Prospect, Oregon. And like I said, the town was small. And we were cutting wood, I'd say, five miles from Prospect, Oregon.

and we were in a flat area where real tall Douglas fir trees were growing all over the place and these trees get like 100 feet tall by 6 feet wide and there's and there was Huckleberry bushes scattered about it was flat it was flat brown and we decided to just camp out on our, we just threw down a big tart and laid our sleeping bags out. And because we were so tired after cutting wood all day, we just had to get to sleep. The moon was out that night. And so you could see across through the forest.

You can see the bushes and stuff. And anyway, about, you know, this is a mystery. I still am not figuring out. At 2 in the morning, I'm sound asleep. And whatever happened, I don't know, but I snapped awake. And I looked, kind of propped up in my sleeping bag, and looked ahead about 50, feet. And so I'm looking, trying to clear my eyes. And there was a big, in front, 50 feet away, there was a big fallen tree that was about four feet thick. And behind this tree was a fuzzy animal. All I could see, it was behind the tree, kind of with its arms on the tree.

So all I could see was from the waist up. And so I'm looking directly into its eyes. I'm not afraid, probably foolishly. And I'm looking and I'm thinking, gee, that's a bear, what I thought. And then I was thinking, gee, bears have big fuzzy. round ears. This thing had no visible ears. And then I knew because I'd seen bears before in the wild. One came down the hillside while I was fishing and kind of was going to chase out for me and get my fish. So I knew what bears look like. And so, and this thing did not have a flat head like a bear.

It kind of had a the cone-shaped head. Now, it looked to me. It looked, well, at the time, I didn't think Bigfoot. I just, I just looked at it and looked at it. And I would guess it was about

maybe 300, 350 pounds. So in the Bigfoot world, that's a small one. So we just kept staring. And anyway, I thought, well, I'll wake my partner, Bill. So I looked over, pushed on him, pushed on him. He wouldn't wake up. I looked back, and of course, the Bigfoot was gone. Now, I didn't hear brush crackling, so it must have snuck off pretty well.

So this is something to remember. When you see a big foot, the minute you take your eyes off, they're going to disappear. So you mentioned this was in an area with a lot of Huckleberry plants, correct? Yeah. Uh-huh. Did you notice anything around the area where it looked like there were large, flattened areas that something big could have laid down in at all? It could have easily laid behind the Huckleberry bushes. I'm pretty sure they were Huckleberry.

They were about five feet tall and five feet wide and thick. It could have laid behind them. You mean in terms of how it escaped? Just curious, there's some places out there that are, when you see certain plants, sometimes people have found, like, nest sites. And I was just curious if you remembered anything like that in that certain area. but just a left field question

well good question I didn't search the area okay yeah we could have camped right to right next to a nest site so now now I think back on it it took me about two weeks

to realize what that was because about that time the Patterson-Gimlin film was showing a lot and so I suddenly realized it. Anyway, I look back on it and I have kind of a theory.

I'll just make it quick. I think bigfoots are closer to humans and they're very intelligent in terms of wood savvy and protecting stuff. I think they're smart enough to know. Now, if this big foot

was really not friendly and wanted to take me out for dinner. I think they know that if two people are involved, the second person will be a witness. And the big foots are smart enough to know that you don't leave a witness because the woods are going to have search parties, the state police, helicopters. So anyway, that's a theory I have. And that's the reason why I'm here now, because I have a partner,

because there are 411 cases where people just disappear, and we don't know why. Okay. Let's go to the, so quite a few years passed, and anyway, there was a second, I would say, a second mystery encounter. As the years passed, I started reading more and more, got real interested. And by the way, Tom Powell's book about Bigfoot, he's the author. I read that one, and it's really good.

and in that book he talked a little about Bigfoot's that can apparently they call it cloaking so anyway I don't want to get too far into paranormal stuff and have all the audience is just joking and laughing but The second time, we had moved to Cous Bay, Oregon, which is on the Oregon coast. And South Cus Bay we have what's called Elk River. And then you drive up the Elk River about 30 miles, and there's a campground. So this is when I started basically researching Bigfoot, see if I could scare myself out to death. which is kind of what happened. So I drove up to Elk River to this deserted campground.

And then I was searching around. After a while, it became dark, just pitch dark. And so I'm on the road looking into the camp. And again, it's Oregon country has what are very tall trees. They're called Douglas fir. and this cat ground was flat and again there were bushes so I'm looking in in there and I hear this odd bird call I never heard a bird call like this especially at night and it sounded fake to me because I've been like I said I've I'm 75 years old and I've been in the woods many times.

So here this bird call comes and it sounds like it's about 100 feet for me. I can tell. It was about 100 feet. And I can't describe what it sounds like. It sounds like a cross between a...

And about three minutes later, I hear the same bird call, except it's coming from the bush right in front of me. And I couldn't believe it because that was a matter of seconds that moved from 100 feet away and came in front of this bush. And I'm standing right there looking in the bush. It's real thick. And I thought, oh, boy. What happened here? Maybe there was another one in the bush. I don't know.

Or maybe it threw its voice. I've heard of them being paranormal. So anyway, it's pitch black again. I'm by myself. Didn't bring any guns. And at the time, anyway, at the time I was a school teacher. I had to get back. So I just left it at that.

I wasn't going to look in the bush, but something, it was just something weird. And it was perfect Bigfoot country. And if you look on BFRO, go to, it was in Curry County. You can see the Bigfoot report that people write up. Okay. So that's the second one.

And that wasn't too scary. Now, the third one that happened is this was near Coquille, Oregon, which is close to Coosbe, Oregon, about 30 miles apart. And I'm guessing both of these incidences were in 2005 to 2010. But anyway, I've kind of gotten a little more savvy. And so I, you know, it looked like an area where bigfoot's were. You kind of have to recognize areas. And so what I did is I took some metal wire and hooked some, hooked about seven apples and hung them from some trees that were about eight feet up.

And my theory is this lets them know that you're friendly and most of them. And so maybe they don't want to jump on you at night and take out a friendly human. Who knows? so anyway so I went back about a week later okay so now I'm near Coquille

which is about 20 miles east of Coosbe it's there's the Coquill River running through it it's a great place to drift boat and catch steelhead

and salmon okay so anyway these apples had been hung and they were there about a week. So I went back to check. And if I recall, most of the apples were there. So I hung around so long and got pitch black again. And my wife was with me this time. And so we're standing there and I hear these pink whistles.

like you'd hear a whistle and then maybe 30 seconds a minute would go by and then you'd hear another one and another one and I knew that big puts do this because I'd read about them

there are good books out there one of them you know anyway I had known previously and I thought she sure enough this is happening

I couldn't believe I was looking up into the pitch black forest and something was whistling and my I said Chris

my wife do you hear that she goes yeah I hear that I said well what do you think it is and she said oh it's just kids up there

Oh, geez. No. Because we were in a dense forest and there was only one house that was several miles from where we were. So she thought they were kids, plain. Out in the pitchback black forest at night at night, I don't think she really wanted to know what that was. So I said, okay, well, maybe we better just go, because who knows, maybe one of them is hungry. So I kind of evacuated her out of the area with me. And on the way back to the car, I looked up to where they were, and I saw some object pop up out of one of the bushes. and then it kind of ducked back down. I thought, wow, okay. So we just got in the car and we left.

George, sorry, George. I'm going to interject with a question. So you saw, so you saw, you said an object pop up when you looked back up the hill, correct? Yeah. Did you see any details for that object, anything else that you can use to describe it at all? Well, it looked strange to me. It kind of looked. I could make out maybe head, shoulders, but they were kind of illuminated.

and there was no illuminated light around. So that part has question I have questions about. But I did see, and it wasn't clear, it was kind of a flash. Sure. But so I wish it would have been more clear and better. But anyway, that's what happened at that. incident. Now, I've been wanting to get back to that area. And so I'm kind of looking for somebody to go with me.

So if anybody knows of anyone close to Cape Calcuse Bay, I would like a couple of partners to go up there and hang some apples and see what we find. because oh and another thing that same area that I'm talking about um I've been looking at Bigfoot reports and um and this one guy left his name and he was camping up in that area uh helped me open and he told me he called me he called me last week and said while he was camping he heard an enormous roar, sounded like a big foot roar, and scared he and his wife half to death. And another report came out of this area, same area. A man and wife were driving through this area up up a mountain.

and they let's see some rocks started to be thrown at them across the road and his wife got out and looked up and heard branches cracking and she said she saw a big foot so this area I know

has a clan of bigfoot but of course what we don't want hunters in there trying to take a trophy. So anyway, if somebody gets in touch with me, shall I give them my email address? So George, as we talked about before, this is totally up to you if you want, because there's people that listen to this all over the place,

especially in the Pacific Northwest. So if you want people to get in touch with you, maybe you guys could, you know, you could give them some info about where to look, etc. You can definitely provide a contact right now.

So G. McNair 800 at gmail.com. So if you want to go researching, I'll take you what you've got to be trustworthy

because I don't want this area to be exposed because I'm pretty sure there's a plan of big foot. Anybody interested in big foot

can join a forum. I've been on the forum for years and years. Absolutely. It's just called the Bigfoot Forum. So thank you much for listening. Thank you, George, for allowing me to ask you some questions and for sharing your encounter stories. And hopefully there's people listening
