I Know What I Saw at Mt. Rainier!

0:05 Welcome to the Bigfoot Society. In this episode, I talked to Alfred, who shares how we saw Bigfoot while hiking around Mount Rainier in nineteen eighty seven.

Remember, your encounter could be the key to unlocking this mystery once and for all, so please don't hesitate to contact me at Bigfoot Society at gmail dot com. All right, Bigfoot Society, You've got the privilege of talking to Alfred tonight. He's a listener that reached out with some interesting things that he has encountered in his travels. Alfred, I hope you're doing well tonight, sir. I'm going to put it right over to you. Yes, good evening, Jeremiah. Thank you for having me on and inviting me to share my incident that I had. Again, my name is Alfred. That's just a little bit of my background. I'm an ikea person had been doing it for forty years now and I turnedly reside in Connecticut.

1:07 So my stories was back in nineteen eighty seven. My wife and I had visited some friends up in Seattle, Washington, and what happened was they do on our stay, some of us decided to go hiking up at Mount Rainier, and I was really excited about it because I love the outdoors. I like camping. I've been fishing and doing all that sot of stuff since I was a teenager. Back in the late nineteen seventies. My friends and I would go hiking up New York at the Catskill Regions most of the time. But anyway, this particular story, we had going out to do a hiking tour in Mount Rainier and we ended up at this place. I was a parking lot. We parked, and as I mentioned in my story, there wasn't too many cars around. The must have been made five other cars in the area, and we started walking through one of the trails that one of our friends was familiar with. There were six of us, my wife, myself, and two other couples, and about a little way into the hike, we came upon a rest area and there were some bathrooms, so everybody decided to go to the bathrooms, and I decided to keep walking down the trail. I must. They walked the field, but felt maybe just a few blocks. I mentioned there was about an eighth of a mile, and the reason I mentioned that was because I'm an avid runner and I can judge distance pretty well, I think. But anyway, as I was walking

2:39 down this trail, I heard some noises in the woods, like trampling, and just I heard some leaves rattling, and I decided to go and investigate. And at first I thought it might be maybe some other hikers. I didn't think it was animals or anything like that at the moment. So anyway, I decided to go into the woods and I began to smell. I mentioned my story that I smelled the stench that was really bad. It was like a body oder and it got stronger as I was getting into the woods. And it wasn't skunk. Because I'm familiar with the outdoors animals, and I know what a skunk smells like. This did not smell like a skunk.

3:23 I mentioned that I used to live in New York City and it reminded me of a homeless person basically. But anyway, I think that about fifty feet into the I went off to trial. About fifty feet into it, I saw a grouping of trees that must have been maybe about six trees that were pretty large pine trees, and they were all grouped together. And then I saw something that was moving and I couldn't figure out what it was. At first, I thought maybe there was some huge squirrels or maybe some type of an animal, because it was two of them and they were pretty far apart. One was on top and one was at the bottom. And I kept getting closer because I was trying to figure out what type of animal it was. And as I got closer, I saw this huge thing just I guess it went to its right, so it would have been my left appiered and I saw this huge thing sticking out and I didn't know what it was.

4:28 At first I thought it was a bear, but I said, no, it can't be a bear. It was too big to be a bear. Okay, So then my mind was running one hundred miles an hour because I'm trying to figure out what the hell is this and I knew it wasn't a person because it was huge. Again. I know distance. When I was in high school, I used to high jump. I'm five ten and I was able to high jump six feet, so this thing must have been eight feet or tall, okay, And again when it leaned over, then I realized that the two things that I saw moving was its right arm was holding onto the tree, and the bottom part was part of its leg, almost like the knee part. And it looked at me and we locked eyes, and I think that that moment lasted I would say maybe thirty seconds, which is not that long. But it felt like an eternity because I saw its face. It had almost human facial features, and it had red eyes.

5:32 But the eyes were not bright like you see on some videos people at Nither'll show these eyes. They almost looked like flashlights. No, this thing had almost like bloodshot eyes like you would see and I, let's say a drunk person. And it looked at me, and I looked at it, and I was panicking because realizing that this thing was huge, I said, oh my god, this thing. It's not a person. It's not somebody in a custom, because I would have been able to hell, that's the customer, that's somebody in something. But again, it was so huge, That's why I knew it wasn't a person. And then a few minutes later I heard my party catching up to me. It was my wife and the other two couples, and then this thing looked towards the direction where they were coming behind me, and then it just slid away and it walked up there.

6:23 It was like that part of the woods went up, started going up the hill, so it just walked away. And then I moved to my left to try to get a better glimpse, and I was able to see between the trees, and it just kept walking up, and then at one moment it stopped. It looked to it right, and then it just kept walking and it disappeared. And then that's when the rest of my party got up to us, and I don't know what to do. I don't know how to explain to them that I had seen something that I couldn't explain because again, I don't want to be ridiculed. I don't want to be made fun of. And back then, this was back in nineteen eighty seven, we didn't know anything about Bigfoot. Back then, I didn't know. I had never heard about Bigfoot. Even when I used to go camping with my friends, we never heard anything about Bigfoot. Woudn't know what it was.

7:13 Again, later on, later in time, yeah, I started hearing stories about bigfoot and stuff, but I never thought that's what I saw, because, to be honest with you, I wanted to get it out of my mind because the only thing that it reminded me of was a creature that when I was a kid, My family used to mention a creature from my childhood that sort of people saw back in the motherland. I was born in Central America, and my father would tell us stories that there was this creature in the woods. I'll give you the name. It was called Lasijuanava, and basically this thing was a hairy monster, and it was a female because supposedly has breasts, and it was hairy, it was huge, It has the From what I understanding, the right leg is supposed to be a chicken leg and the left leg is supposed to be a horse leg. And the story was that if you were in the woods and then this thing came out at you, you were not supposed to turn you back to it, because if you turned your back to it, you will become insane. It will do something to you. I know it sounds ridiculous, but as a kid, this was the fear that they put in us. So anytime that we didn't think wrong. They would tell us, Oh, they're going to bring us to the woods and leave you there, so this thing will get you.

8:39 So that was the only thing that crossed my mind. But again I was an adult, I was in my early twenties, and now it can't be that it's a myth, but that was the only thing that I can compare it to. So I joined my party and we kept walking. But the whole time I was so afraid. I was worry the whole time, and I was always looking around. I heard noises, and I was always just courtious, just in case this thing came out and tried to attack us or something. And to be honest with you, if it did come out and approaches, I would have just grabbed my wife by the arm and I would have ran the hell ot of it, because I knew this thing was huge and there's no way all of us would have been able to fight this thing.

9:20 And then we eventually we made it back to our car and we ended up going back to our friend's house where we were staying, and that was the end of it, and I never mentioned it to anybody. I told my wife this story, I think maybe a year afterwards, and she thought that maybe it was just a bear that I saw, But I know what I saw and I know that was not a bear. And to this day, I have seen a lot of videos that I have seen movies, and yeah, as I got older, I realized, you know what, I think maybe it could have been a big fit what I saw. That's a fascinating story, Alfred. Thank you for sharing. I know you you just said that you really haven't shared this with anyone, and I appreciate you sharing it on the show. Going back to that time when you were able to look at it for a bit, do you remember anything about the color of the hair of what you said, Yeah, this thing was like a reddish brown because again when I saw the arm and I guess the knee moving and I didn't know what it was. At first I thought it was maybe like a red squirrel, but I'm like, it was too big to be a squirrel, because again I couldn't make out what it was because it looked like the hand was hugging part of the tree and it was shaky, like trembling.

10:39 And then the knee was the knee was just staying put. It would just move from side to side. But again because I hadn't seen the whole thing. I couldn't make out what it was, but it was like a reddish brown Yeah, okay, gotcha. So after you were able to see exactly what you were looking at, you realized it was just one creature. Then it was yeah yeah again. When it appeared to the right and I looked at it, I saw the face, I saw the head, the shoulders, and actually it was just part of it. It was just the right shoulder because it didn't step out, it just leaned to the right. But again, it was so huge that I had to look up to see this thing, and I was just amazed. I was I didn't know what to do again because my mind was like fighting to try to put I guess the reason what is because I couldn't figure it out is not. I know it's not a bear, and if it was a person, there's no way it could be that big. Oh. Just you know, do you remember anything about the length of the hair at all, or any about the hair?

11:46 It was hairy, It wasn't how do you say it wasn't. The hair wasn't cropped or short. It was actually really shaggy. It's funny. It almost reminds me of a Chewbacca from Star Wars, basically that it almost looked like it's a reddish brown. The face. I remember, the face was almost human, and I remember the eyes were also really far apart. That was another thing that I remember that the eyes were not like a regular person who would be like maybe one eye distancing between. This thing was like I was saying, maybe there was like four eyes and between the first eye and the other eye, and then it was like a grayish color the face.

12:31 And I know it had lips, it had a mouth, but it wasn't moving. The mouth wasn't moving. The nose was the nose. It had a nose, and I remember the nose was a bit I guess because it was breeding. It was flaring a bit. You can see the nostrils moving. And it was not like the nose was proportional. It wasn't like I guess, like a It wasn't like a gorilla that it's really huge extending. It was almost like a proportion of human. No, but to its size for that face. Would you was there a hood at all, like a hooded nose or was it more of a flat nose or I don't understand. What do you mean hooded. It wasn't flat. It was almost like a I guess, almost like a human nose, but just huge in proportion to its face. Okay, okay, gotcha. You said you saw the mouth. Was it a larger mouth or smaller mouth or do you remember anything about the mouth portion of the face. The mouth was basically just it didn't have the mouth. I don't remember seeing the lips, like I guess human lips. It was almost more like a flat I guess you would say, like a flat mouth. There was no shape to the lips. It was just like a line. But it was gray. But you could say because you could actually make out that it was a mouth. And then it had it because it was hairy. It looked like it had hair where a mustache would be at any time, did you see the mouth open so you could see the teeth of the creature now? It just that was the other thing.

14:01 It did not move, It didn't, but I did hear it before I saw it. It did make a noise, which at first I thought it was a bear, sort of looked like some sort of a I guess, like a grunt noise. It sounded like it took a breath, it one something like oh, and then something something to that effect like that. But the grunt was sort of a It was really how do you say, not loud but verberated, like I can feel it, how you can feel it in your bones? Almost It was that loud, but it was like really low and muffled. But I felt the grunt. I felt it before I felt it as I heard it. It's kind of it sounds crazy, but it was that low and muffled that it was that I felt it.

14:48 I don't think that's crazy at all. When you felt that reverberate, what did it evoke any emotions in you? Did it make you feel a certain way? It's funny. Like I had mentioned on when I reached I'm a big martial arts artist. I've been studying martial arts for like maybe wow, forty years now. I've been doing martial arts, and I know I can defend myself. In previous years, I had been I have had situations where I had been confronted by multiple people, and I've been able to defend myself. But when I saw this thing, I was afraid because I knew as no way I could defend myself against this thing. No way in My fear was just for my wife's safety and my safety. To be honest with you, I was hoping that if this thing came out, it would go after one of my friends. That was my thing. My thing was I'm going to run out of there with my wife and let them get eaten or get whatever, because I wasn't going to take that chance. It sounds like you were in self preservation mode for sure the whole time walking to that. The hike lasted about two hours, I believe the whole time. I don't think I enjoyed the hike because I was apprehensive every little rose. I was always looking around making sure that this thing wasn't fallow or it wasn't running after us.

16:15 Do you remember anything about the area of the face above the eyes, like the forehead area, the forehead it was the forehead was huge, actually, because the head was almost pointy. It wasn't like, I guess, like a regular human head. I remember it was pointy, not like a football, but that shape when it went up and pointed to the top, but not really let's say a cone. It just almost almost like an oblong shape. And I don't remember seeing ears because I guess maybe because it was so hairy, I couldn't see any ears. I don't remember seeing years, because again I was trying to I was trying to make sense of trying to match it with something that could be explained, like, let's say, maybe a bear. But so during the time when you were able to look at it and you had eye contact, did it have an emotion in its face at all, or during that time when you had eye contact, where you're feeling any emotions at all. I was afraid, I felt fear, but I don't know this thing wasn't afraid or it didn't show any fear. Again, it only lasted thirty seconds or last few days. And as it was looking at me, I remember it was. It blinked a few times, but it was just staring at me like it was not afraid or concerned.

17:42 It didn't make any effort to at least not during that moment, to run off or anything. Now, it was just this thing was sure of itself. Because again, when my friends started coming up behind me, it looked it was their direction, and then it just slid away. It just walked away, and then I just saw the arm disappear, and then the knee went away, and then it just started. I heard the noise and then I went in a bit to my left to try to get a better glance, and then I was able to see between the trees and it just walked away going up the hill. Were you able to get a good look at its hands the hands? I was. I was able to see once once it was walking away. I did see the right It looked like the right arm and the hand and I could see that you can see almost like the palm, and it was cupped. But I didn't see fingers when I saw its arm in its hand because it was really hairy. Also so the hairs covering any form of digits. But when it walked away, I did see what looked like a hand and it was I could see the back of it because it was walking away from me and the right arm was moving. I couldn't see the left arm because it was covered by the other trees that I so basically saw its right side from the back as it walked away. Did

19:14 you notice anything interesting about the arms? The arms were. The arm that I saw was pretty long. The arm, yeah, there was another thing. The arm was pretty long. I would say maybe, yeah, the arm was a bit longer. It looked longer than a regular human arm. How far down the body would you say the arm? I would say it went up to probably up to its knee. Okay, you were able to see it walk away, sounds were able to see the feet. Did you notice anything about the feet of the creature. No, I didn't. I couldn't see anything by the feet because I guess of the growth in the area. So as I was walking away, there was I guess, like shrubbery and stuff, so I couldn't see pass I guess its knee and below that part I guess the back of the leg it to was a below the the I couldn't see because of the shrubbery. As it walked away and it was walking up, I only saw I would say, half of it. It's the right half with the armed down, as that was walking up the hill.

20:17 And then again our remember stopped for a second and it looked to the right, and then it just looked back straight and just kept walking disappeared. Anything weird about the gate of the creature, or how that it was actually moving, the way its legs moved, things like that, I can remember anything like that. But I do remember that when I first heard it, and also when it walked away, when it took its steps, you can hear it as it crushed the growth underneath that it was heavy. It was heavy, because you can actually hear the end. You can walk in the woods' troubling. You don't make some mouse, but this thing really made noise as it broked away. If you had to estimate how much it weighed, what would you say? Wow? Wait? Wow? It had to have been at least eight feet tall, because again I can the way when I was looking at it and I saw the tree, it was at least eight I couldn't see its whole. I didn't see the whole body, okay, because when you peeked at me, leaned to the right, and I saw part of the shoulder, I saw the face, So I only saw the right arm still falling to the tree. I saw the shoulder. And then when it went back and started to move away, and I tried to follow it a bit to see when it was walking away, I only saw the

21:51 right half from its back. It was tall, weight easily five hundred pounds or more, I would say easily. Was there any thing that you saw that would make you think that it was a male or a female. I just was funny. I just assume it was a male. Sure, I didn't because when it was leaning over, I don't I didn't see any anything that would indicate I didn't see breasts, if that's what you mean. I didn't see breasts. And then when I was walking away, it was huge. It didn't look like a female to me. Basically, I don't know. Maybe yeah, I could be wrong, maybe you couldn't. But I couldn't see any features that would tell me or lead me to believe that it was a female. Were you able to see any anything under the hair muscle wise, No, not necessarily muscle like I guess if you would see a bodybuilding now. But the arms were huge. That right arm was the width was really huge. I couldn't tell you how it was huge compared to looking at the arm, that right arm when it was leaning Yeah, the I could see the from the shoulder going down to the arm and the elbow, and then as it came around the tree, it was huge, meaning thick.

23:15 But I don't recall I can't remember seeing like muscles or muscle movement. Now think back to what you were able to see of the face. If you would and is this a face that you would see when you're visiting the zoo or that you would see when you're walking down the street in the city. No, not that you wouldn't see that in a person. Now, If anything, I would say, yeah, a gorilla. Maybe I've seen gorillas up close, that's the only closest. But a gorilla. The features a gorilla looks like the features right, They're that hairy, the hair is really cropped, and it's close to the skin, and you can see the features like the noses flat pushed in. No, this thing was not.

24:06 This thing was not an ape, if that's what you if you wanted to compare it to. It was definitely not I know where a gorilla and rangey ten or even a chimpanzee looks. No, this thing did not resemble any of that. Interesting Okay, so not not an ape. But no, that that was because that was one later after the incident, when we were still there, I was for days. I was trying to process it, trying to was it a gorilla. There's no gorilla, is nothing, There's no way, it's no way, no way. So my wife thinks that it was either a bear or maybe somebody in the suit. But there's no way it was somebody in the suit, not that big, no way.

24:52 So remind me what time of year it was in nineteen This was in August, Yeah, August, because we had gotten married in August of eighty five, my wife and I and basically that was almost our We were young at the time and so we didn't have a honeymoon, and that was almost like a honeymoon trip. So it was in August of eighty seven. And I remember that my friends had made a comment that that basically in Seattle you can actually go swimming and you can also go skiing at the same time because you can actually go up to the mountain. And I remember that when we went to the mountain, we had to wear almost like a windbreaker type of thing because it was it was colder up at the mountain than it was where we were staying. It was a colder day, but there wasn't snow in the area that we were hiking. But you can actually see higher up, you can see the mountain, the peak covered in snow, but not where we were hiking. What time of day again, was it that you saw, was like in the middle of the day, I think we got there like before lunchtime, and I remember that it was the lighting was pretty. It was decent lighting because the way there's it was like a little rain one moment and then it would be sunny and our men was a pretty nice clear day.

26:21 It didn't rain on us or anything like that. It was pretty good. So there wasn't like, let's say, fog or anything that or even a mist at my effect division of this thing. Was there anything that the creature did during the short time you saw it that really confused you, even after all these years. Just the fact the way that it was looking at me, The way it looked at me, it would be almost like a person would look at you, right, like somebody. It's I don't know, it's just it felt like this thing is almost like a human being but huge. It looked at me, and it knew that I was Probably I wasn't pretty this way, I wasn't a local animal. It knew that I was a person, basically, and I felt that this thing's looking at me and it knows what I am. It wasn't like let's say, a deer looking at you or any other animal. This thing. You can sense that this thing was almost human. Basically, would you ever have nightmares about what you saw? Over the years, I did. I did have I wouldn't say nightmares because not nightmares, but oh, constantly thinking about it, just trying to make sense out of it, basically trying to make sense that it was not a beer, it was not a deer, it was not no way it could have been an ape because there's no apes up there, and I would think maybe perhaps an ape got lose in the zoo and it escaped.

27:52 And no, there was no, never any incidents. I never read because later in life I would do research to see if there was any incident regarding oh, maybe that they reported anything similar to that. And again, yeah, I did, and I saw other Obviously I started seeing other people talking about signings, but not let's say a mountain lion or something that does not below up and got mounted. Have you ever seen let's say a picture or a drawing or anything that was similar to what you saw? The only thing that it's funny, the only thing that I think came close to it again was Chewbacca from Star Wars. That's the closest thing that I can relate to except brownish red. Would you ever want to see one again? Yes, I would. I definitely would. Maybe maybe not that up close, but yeah, I would definitely I would love to see one. Why would you want to see one again? I don't know. I just I think that I would need to see it. I don't know I can explain why.

29:03 I just need to see it again. Put it that way, I guess maybe to make sure that maybe I wasn't imagining, I wasn't seeing things. But then again, if I do see one again, I would know how to explain it or what it is I need to know. You know how people claim to see UFOs or even the ets right which you want to see? I would love to see what? Sure? Yeah, I definitely would love to see it. And it's funny. My friends and I used to go camping upstate New York again by the Catskills area. There's a lake. It's a National park called North South Lake. I believe it's called Sagod It's up in except twenty if I'm not mistaken, on the throughway, and we used to camp there all the time, and we will hear noises at night. We used to like to go camping either at the beginning of the season or at the end, but there wasn't too many people, and we would hear stuff out there. And again, back then, we didn't know what a big foot was. We never heard of it, but we would hear noises and we always would joke about saying somebody left their dog in the woods and they never came back because we would hear this thing that it sounded almost like a dog market. But it was like almost every time we went up there, we will hear this thing. But we never saw anything up there. We did see bear, black bear and other animals, but we

30:33 never saw anything like this up there. And I'm sure they've had sightings up there, but we never came across. And again, ever since I was a teenager, we used to go camping as a group four of us every year religiously, and up until when I was an adult, I would say, maybe I haven't gone camping in five years, but prior to that we would go every year religiously camping to that same campground. Yeah, no, I know that up in that area there have been sightings. I've talked to a few people. It's a very interesting area. Going back to your mountain in your sightings, yeah, was there anything else that you had forgotten to mention about the nothing. The smell. It's funny because after it was going, you can still smell it. You can still smell it, not as strong as when it was standing that close. But after it left and my friends caught up, I remember some of them saying, oh, they were talking about, Oh the who's who? They were joking around that somebody didn't take a bath, or somebody let one go. And I just keept quiet because I didn't want anybody didn't know what happened. I just at least not to my friends. I told my wife later when we came back actually from our trip, I mentioned to her, but I never told my friends that were with us that day because I just, you know, I don't know

32:04 how to explain I wouldn't know how to explain it. What kind of sounds were you hearing this in the woods that that day? That day, I heard squirrel sounds. We hear the squirrels, chipmunks that was that's probably just about it, and obviously birds, but nothing like this. And again when I heard the grunt, I immediately assumed it was a bear. That's what I thought. I think it's got to be a bear. And I've heard bear because again when I was camping up state New York, black bear would come to the campground and you have to be careful not to engage them or bother We would basically walk away from the campsite, and we knew enough to keep the whatever food we had tied up high with a rope in the tree to keep it away from the bear, because they did come at night to the campground and if you didn't bother them, they didn't bother you. And they were not that big. To the black bear up there, not a bround it. Were there any sounds that you heard during your time there when you were hiking around that were just out of place, or that's a weird sound. I didn't hear anything out of place except for that grunt. Okay, that was the only And again as we kept walking, I was always listening. I was waiting to hear this thing because I was still afraid that this thing is going to come out and try to attack it. As I was hearing other noises, I was paying close attention that if I heard that

33:36 grunt, that thing's going to be really close by. But the rest of the hike and I didn't hear that particular grunt. You know, if the grunt was conveying an emotion, what would it be. Did you get anything from the sound? And I know that's a weird question, but yeah, I think that maybe it made the noise to let me know not to get close. That's the only thing I can think of, because again, it sounded like a like a muffled grund, but it sounded like it took a breath first, and want something to like that, something like that, like it was relaxing, and it was only just that one grunt. I didn't it didn't grunt anymore. That was the only time it granted. And then as we make contact and it walked away, it didn't make any Has there been anything about the encounter that you do not want to share or that you've been very hesitant to share. No, not at all. That was the whole story. Obviously. To this day, I haven't mentioned the two our friends up there in Seattle, Washington. Still keep in touch with them.

34:47 Yeah, I never mentioned it because oh wow, I don't know. It's just one of those and I'm sure that they are aware. And who knows, maybe if we ever go up there, because I have gone up there to listen. Then, Ever, since that time in eighty seven, I think we went back maybe five other times different years from eighty seven up until maybe I think the last time we went up there was when my son was my son was fine ninety three, four or five, six seven, nineteen ninety eight was the last time that we went up there. So the people you're with out in the woods, they don't really know what happened. No, they don't know what happened though. Wow. So again maybe one day if we go, I'm sure we'll go up there to visit friends again because stuff happening, who know's weddings and things, and we will end up going up there, and I'll probably mention it to them. I guess I'm in I'm sixty three this year. I'm in that point in my life that, you know what, I don't care about. I don't care about what other people think. I get. It doesn't bother me as they it would have thirty forty years ago. Right now, I'm like, you know what, if they make fun of me, more power to them that it would not affect me at all. I would not feel I guess what I was afraid feeling back there, being ridiculed. And the great thing is all the stuff
