Searching For Bigfoot: Bigfoot Bed

Bigfoot Bed

Article submitted by author and researcher, David Claerr

The Trinity River watershed of North Texas has several extensive branches that wind through many miles of surprisingly varied geography. The forested greenbelts that surround the waterways are an ever-changing sequence of micro-ecosystems with an astonishing variety of plant and animal life. The watershed may also be the foraging grounds of the nomadic Bigfoot, also known as Sasquatch. There have been many sightings of Bigfoot and signs of Bigfoot activity in north-eastern Texas, with written records going back to the 1800's up to recent reports published in electronic media.

Exploring along one of the branches of the the Trinity River on a cold day in December 2008, I came across a significant example of Bigfoot habitation, one that is rarely reported or documented photographically. I discovered what appeared to be bedding or a ground-nest fashioned by a Bigfoot. One of the primarily nocturnal creatures had apparently been aroused from sleep by my approach through a thicket of pigweed growing within a forested plain alongside the riverbank. I heard but did not see the creature, as it fled at my approach; the thicket, even in winter was dense enough to reduce visibility to only a few yards ahead, and being essentially unarmed and alone, I approached the area slowly and stealthily.

While following the narrow but well worn game trails that run parallel to the riverbanks, I heard a deep guttural sound ahead, that was a combination of a grunt and a growl. It had an distinct tone of annoyance. I froze in my tracks. The sound came from a thicket of cane-like pigweed that grows in 6-foot stalks an inch or more thick. The sound was followed by the thrashing sound of something large moving through the dry stalks, headed away from me. I also heard another guttural expression, almost like a muttering complaint. After waiting several minutes, when all was quiet, I proceeded cautiously forward. There was an area where the stalks were completely flattened in a trail about five feet wide, running for about 30 feet. Since it was a very unusual type of trail, I followed it deeper, and it led into a small meadow-like clearing inside the thicket.

In the middle of the clearing was a low, flat structure built of vegetation. The grass and leaves that made up the structure were collected from an area outside the thicket, and were a mix of freshly plucked and fallen fall foliage that stood out in contrast to the grayed old ground cover on the meadow. Although I had been on the trail of Bigfoot previously, I had the sudden, somewhat shocking realization that this bedding area was likely the handiwork of the Sasquatch.

The nest itself
Rather than a loose collection or heap of vegetation, the dry stalks and leaves appeared to be selected for their dry, clean properties, and were fashioned in a mat that was rolled, folded and kneaded together. To gather the materials from outside the thicket and assemble them into the oval-shaped bed or ground-nest would have taken at least an hour, possibly two. It is difficult to image that any animal without human-like hands could have gathered and constructed the bedding. The manner in which the matted grass and leaves were combined by a process of kneading and rolling to provide optimal softness and support, was evidence of an intelligence that perhaps surpassed that of a chimpanzee or gorilla, yet had similar aspects none-the-less.

The nest with the outline enhanced
There was a distinct impression of a bodily form in the bedding, shaped much like a very large human or anthropoid lying on its side, curled up with knees to chest. I would estimate the length of the form, if outstretched would be 8 foot tall or over. The lower legs and feet of the impression extended beyond the bedding and crushed a portion of the rolled-under outer edges. The bedding had a rank odor, a smell that I associate with Bigfoot. The area surrounding the bedding also seemed compressed in places as though another one or more of the creatures had been sleeping directly on the ground. This led to the reasonable speculation that the bedding may have been constructed by or for a female, with a young Bigfoot snuggling up close for warmth.

One of the aspects of the area that made an impression on me was the strategic location of the bedding area. The surrounding thicket would not only provide thick cover for hiding, but the dry, close-growing stalks would make considerable noise when moved or disturbed, alerting the Bigfoot to possible danger. The area was also slightly elevated and dryer than the surrounding area which was generally damp, marshy ground.

Since I did not have a camera, with me, I decided to scout the area for additional sign and return for photographs the next day. In the same general area, about a quarter of a mile away, I found a trail of footprints through a muddy flat which I also photographed the next day. Also found were a scat sample (likely Bigfoot), and close inspection of the nest revealed a single white hair about 2.5 inches long.
