Written Confession: Family Encounters Aggressive Forest Entity While Mushroom Hunting
The following written confession was submitted via email:
I’m not a believer in the whole Sasquatch theory but in 2019 my ex girlfriend and I and my son who was 5 at the time we were out early April looking for Morel Mushrooms and we were in a area that was deep in the woods in a large meadow with a run off lake that was at the max 4ft deep and I was about 20-25 yds in front of my ex and my son and about 50-70 yds from the tree line around the lake. The meadow was marshy and we were finding lots of mushrooms and the trees in the tree line were about 20-30 ft tall young pine and tamarack and all of a sudden I heard a swoosh like ducks landing but then a huge splash in the lake we all jumped and looked and there was a log or tree limb that was 4-5 feet long and maybe 15-20 inches in diameter floating there in the lake! I looked at my ex and she had her smith and Wesson drawn and pointed in the tree line with my son behind her! I immediately drew my .45 and we just sat there for a few minutes but there was nothing. So we slowly went back to mushroom hunting. It was maybe 30-45 min later we got to the half way point around this pond and about 20 feet to my right out of the corner of my eye I seen this boulder flying through the air and hit the edge of the pond and it sent mud and dirt and chunks of grass everywhere. I looked at the rock and it was well over 30 lbs and I immediately opened my pack drew my AR-15 and my girlfriend had her handgun pulled and said we need to go NOW! I looked at the tree line and the tops of these trees were shaking to the point you could follow something moving going away from us. These trees were big enough couldn’t move them at all. So at this point said no shit so we started walking out. My ex was lead then our son and then me. We noticed we were not on the trail that we came in on but kept walking up hill towards the truck when my ex stopped and said do you smell something dead I said no cause I have bad allergies so we were walking and looking then she found a dead elk and deer in the same spot. There were somewhat fresh kills maybe a week old but they were odd kills they were ripped apart not shot, or killed by cougars. The hides were peeled back like almost skinned with a knife. The hind legs of the elk were broke like something snapped then in half and the deer was crushed. Like a truck hit it. I told her that this is not a normal kill cause as a hunter you don’t see animals murdered like this. We started to walk faster cause we were two miles or so from the truck. We got to my truck and we left nobody said a word to each other till we got home.
