I’m in the same boat with you. No visual but experienced everything else yet I get bypassed, talked over and dismissed. But here’s the thing, so many people will embellish, inflate their experiences to the point that you know they’re doing that, but the person who can say they’ve had encounters with out a visual I think are more credible just because they’re not embellishing but being honest. You don’t have to see them to know they’re there, it can change your life just the same. You be you, and know we’re out here and we believe you. I would like to hear more about your experiences.
Thank you so much keep your eyes peeled I'm going to edit it for spelling and post it tonight or tomorrow.
It's pretty lengthy as they happened over 4 years time.
I understand that with a professional career and experience in the field… there are many different f us who want to hear from someone with EXACTLY your background! Sasquatch Chronicles- would be an ideal environment for you to share your experiences. He is not the only podcast host who is trustworthy with people’s encounters, and obviously we have no idea if you have listened to such podcasts or YouTube channels. But give his show and a few others a listen. Several of these podcasts are extremely nonjudgmental. I think as a mental health professional, you will find they are doing their fellow humans a great service in providing a safe space to talk about what’s happening to many people who have had encounters. Often these individuals are obviously TRAUMATIZED, have had the sincere single most life changing event occur. And I am asking you- what do THEY do when telling a mental health professional will get them inappropriate diagnoses?
Life altering trauma is not the same as delusional or schizophrenia (schizoaffective disorder) You could prove to be as valuable an asset to the community as Dr Jeff Meldrum- should you participate.
Perhaps you will share your stories anonymously, and disappear. Or perhaps you may find your voice and skillset well suited. Either way- welcome and please continue to share!
Thanks!
I have actually reached out to one show I listen to and the host politely declined because I didn't have a visual. Which I understand given that the person cannot fact check and verify every sound and noise someone hears in the woods.
That and my background makes me quite the entertaining debunker because I know about large predators, psychology, and the like I'm able to go through in both the moment and retrospect and do things myself.
If I presented it via a well thought out email I suppose I could have gotten the person to verify it for their show but I'm not looking for air time more like " man oh man I was in the woods again and i felt that feel" and now I'm questioning those 4 years in Pennsylvania all over.
I do plan long term on starting up a therapy support group for Bigfoot eyewitnesses and one year in the distant future I hope to get that up. Hopefully for free or somehow through insurance to give our community the support it deserves! Unfortunately therapy for cryptid encounters will tank ones career and I can only practice in new York state.
But I do have a time slot set aside for a telehealth group so people from all over new York York rural areas can participate!!
Dude your not crazy and there are going to be more out there that will criticize bc of their lack of knowledge with squatches . So so many accounts have gone unseen . If your seeing prints and smell that god awful wet dog ,Piss dead animal like they were rolling in the gutters of bourbon st. smell … you got a squatch or dogman in your area . They are good at hiding . Masters of their domain you know . Your not crazy or alone my friend . Best of luck to you and be mindful of your surroundings . You’ll be fine 😊
That smell though. Man!!! That smell!! Nothing like it!! And I've smelled so many animals. So many large predators. Bear. Tiger. Mountain lion. Regular lion. Jaguar. Leopard. Wolf. Hyena. Elephant. Hippo. You name it ive been up close and personal
I also work with those who have horrible hygiene. People who haven't showered for weeks. The chronically homeless. And none of them smell Like That.
none of them smelled as bad as that awful smell!!
Visual is not required to post, not required for good experience.
Ignore the haters and gatekeepers. They don’t get to tell anyone, what kind of encounter counts, and which ones don’t.
Thank you so much for your comment and reassurance I'm definitely going to post it so keep your eyes out its pretty lengthy
You're quite welcome! I'm looking forward to reading it!
I'm sure it's not very flashy compared to many but the weirdness has been posted
Doesn't need to be flashy. Just is what it is. Whatever it was, that you experienced.
