Unwanted Nocturnal Visitors
In much of Canada and the United States many people choose to live a rural or semi-rural lifestyle outside the hustle and bustle of larger cities. In many cases living this rural lifestyle means you have a cherished home and acreage out in the country. Your dream property might back on to crown land, green belts or total wilderness, well beyond the fringes of civilization.
Typically, the bright city lights are not your cup of tea. More importantly, you may have chosen the rural lifestyle because of your love of nature. You might like to grow your own vegetables, berries and fruits. You probably keep some chickens, rabbits, ducks, geese, cows, horses or other animals commonly found on smaller farms.
Although it’s hard for many of today’s city people to fully comprehend, a good portion of country folk like to hunt wild game for their winter meat supply and catch their own fish for the freezer. Hunting, fishing and farming are largely considered to be part of the rural lifestyle and are integral with something that was once commonly called “living off the land.”
Keeping poultry, fowl and livestock means that rural folks have to have dry, safe, secure places to store the various foods required to feed their animals, as well as freezers to keep frozen and store their harvested fish and game in.
Generally speaking, your gardens are fenced in to keep out deer, bears and other wild critters that would make a meal out of your vegetables, berries and fruits. Your fowl, livestock and other small animals and their foods—as well as your freezers—are stored in pens, hutches, barns or shelters with doors or gates that latch but usually don’t lock securely.
From time to time country folks expect to lose some fruit, berries, some of the garden crop or even a portion of some stored animal foods to wild animals that might be hungry and break through or jump a fence. Perhaps the hungry wild animals enter one of the outbuildings because the hobby farmer carelessly left a gate unlatched or a barn door or pen open. In the end it’s usually all taken in stride and considered to be part of living the rural lifestyle.
However, there might also be rare occasions late at night when you lose fruit, berries, vegetables, animal foods, meats or fish from a freezer, and there is absolutely no logical explanation. You search high and low for a hole in your fence but none can be found. You are positive you shut a door, latched a gate or closed a pen for the night, yet you are missing quantities of feed, vegetables, berries, fruits, fowl or small animals.
Somehow unwanted nocturnal visitors are getting inside your garden, barn, shed or pen and making off with your valuable possessions. And for the life of you, you simply can't explain how whomever or whatever is responsible for the missing items is going about their dirty deeds under the cover of darkness.
For example, early one morning while making your rounds you might find large quantities of apples, berries, fruits or garden vegetables missing. No holes are found in fences where animals might have got in. Yet, while poking around the property you find what appears to be the odd footprint of a large bear in the soft dirt of your garden. However, upon closer examination of the footprints you can find no indication of claw marks.
In another scenario, you might find missing quantities of frozen fish or meats along with a freezer door left open. In another, you find open hutches or pens and several rabbits or chickens are missing without a trace. There’s simply no evidence pointing to what predator was responsible. Yet in another instance, you find a door on a shelter, barn or shed open and quantities of grains or other farm animal foods missing with no logical explanation to where they might have disappeared. You have ruled out every living predator that could be responsible and still you've drawn a blank.
Maybe while lying in bed unable to sleep late one night, you have heard a chorus of strange, loud, whooping or howling sounds coming from some wild creature you aren't familiar with? Maybe you were out working in your garden and you have had the unmistakable feeling of being watched? Maybe you've heard what sounded like humans talking or mumbling just out of earshot? Maybe you've heard sounds emanating from your property or adjacent woodlots like someone chopping wood or banging large rocks together, but you know that nobody else is in the immediate area? Maybe you have found large human-like footprints clearly showing toes or other evidence of an animal’s passing that you can't fully explain? Or perhaps you have seen short glimpses or caught quick flashes of something you'd swear was standing on two feet, very tall and dark colored that was quickly ducking behind trees on the outskirts of your property?
If anything I have mentioned above sounds strangely similar to what’s happening down on your farm or around your neck of the woods, you could possibly be experiencing nocturnal visits by a creature or creatures known throughout much of Canada as sasquatch and in the USA as bigfoot.
When we are dealing with sasquatch or bigfoot we are dealing with a flesh-and-blood creature that’s acutely aware of its surroundings; it’s shy, curious, yet extremely cunning; it’s a highly intelligent, opportunistic, omnivorous, giant man-like creature. A wild creature that intimately knows the wilderness—and every living plant, insect, bird and animal that calls it home—far better than any human could ever dream of doing. Sasquatch is a creature that quite possibly lives in small family groups. A creature that spends a great deal of its time roaming over a large range. Like nomads sasquatch are constantly wandering from one readily available food source to another. Sasquatch is a creature that quite possibly buries its dead just like humans do. And last, but certainly not least, sasquatch or bigfoot is a creature that may, at times, help itself to whatever foodstuffs it can find in gardens, pens, coops, cages, barns or freezers.
If you think you may have experienced “unwanted nocturnal visitors” down on your farm or property from time to time, we would certainly like to hear from you. We fully respect your right to remain anonymous so please don't be afraid to drop us a line, send us an e-mail, or give us a call. You can also report your possible encounter, on-going activity around your property or farm, or whatever sasquatch or bigfoot related information you desire at the following link: www.westcoast-sasquatch.com/query.html .
