While there are certainly online youtube scripts feeding you more videos depending on what you've watched, I did not notice the mass quantity of bigfoot material some years back when I looked into this. There has really been an explosion of material lately, e.g. Animal Planet's Finding Bigfoot series, History Channel's MonsterQuest, the hundreds of "bigfoot investigator" youtube channels with new video "evidence" of this animal. There's tonnes of bigfoot talk radio shows now, like Bigfoot hotspot radio, Sasquatch Chronicles, etc. There was also a documentary by Leonard Nimoy about Sasquatch. I did not see most of this on Youtube 8 years ago.
I did not think anything of this topic until 2009. My wife and I were doing a large canoe circuit which took 8 days and required portages between lakes. We started at a campground at the end of a narrow dirt road. This particular side of the lake is quite the distance from any paved road. We arrived at around 5 PM and setup tent. The campground was vacant, but was full of abandoned tents, rafts, and various other camping gear. I had never seen such extreme abandonment in the Canadian woods. It looked as if a bear had torn apart the previous camper's gear and they fled the scene. I spent an hour and cleaned up the garbage by bundling it all up and moving it off into the brush. I normally take trash abandonment home with me, but this amount of gear was too much.
We made dinner and went to bed in the tent. I did not sleep well that night. There was a beaver which had been splashing all night long keeping me awake. The campsite was on a lake. If you have never head a beaver working, well, it sounds like someone throwing a small boulder into the lake. The beaver makes this splash with its tail. All this splashing noise was sort of making me nervous, so I kept having to pee, about every 2 hours. Our tent has a vestibule, with earth as the floor and this is where I was urinating. Anyway, just before the morning light, at around 4:30 - 5:00 AM, I awoke from my crummy sleep again to hear the sound of projectiles being thrown at my car. It was somewhat periodic, about one throw every 60 seconds. It sounded like pine cones, sticks, or maybe small rocks. My wife heard it as well. The odd thing was that nothing was hitting our tent, only our vehicle. And we had one of those huge stand-up tents which was much larger than our car. This throwing went on for about 15 minutes, until the point in which I could not stand it anymore. My vehicle has one of those panic buttons which sounds the horn every few seconds. I hit that button and let it sound (echo, rather) for a few minutes. Then I emerged from the tent to see what was throwing stuff at my car. I found nobody and no animal. I looked up in the trees and didn't see anything. I went back into the tent and slept for another hour or more and there was no further banging sound on my car.
I remember reading many years earlier that bigfoot liked to tease campers like this, especially when they don't want you in their territory. I didn't mention it to my wife because I didn't want her to be scared on the rest of the circuit. When we got home I looked things up online and didn't come across all the youtube videos on this subject matter that I am today.
At all the other campgrounds on the canoe circuit, there were no further incidents. Also, all the other campgrounds were overflowing with people. I got the impression that people were avoiding the campground which we started the circuit on. We left our car parked at the original ransacked campground as we headed out on the canoe circuit. The car was still there and intact when we returned. And there still was nobody camping at this campground upon our return.
I still don't know what was throwing projectiles at our vehicle. If it were some troubled kids playing a joke, I certainly did not hear them come in. We were a long way off the main road. The pranksters would have had to walk a long long way in the middle of the night for this little bit of fun. Or have been canoeing in the middle of the night then remaining completely quiet. I was also wondering if perhaps this time of morning is when pine cones fall from the trees. However, why did no cones fall on our tent? It was right next to our car. And why did the projectiles stop after I hit the panic button? Also, my car has a basket on the top. There were no cones or anything inside that basket. It really sounded like something was being thrown at the side of the doors and onto the hood. I am not saying that a sasquatch was throwing stuff at our vehicle, but this incident is what got me started looking into it and there wasn't much out there in 2009. Now, in 2017, there is an overwhelming amount of videos, material, and "research" groups out there. After listening to some strories, it seems that most people who have had encounters with what they refer to as sasquatch that they also have objects thrown at them, like pine cones, sticks, and rocks, especially when they are not wanted in a particular region, and at times, when they (the humans) are urinating in their territory.
I should also point out that I have been in the outdoors for most of my pre-children life. I have done several other canoe circuits in Canada, and have been backpacking up mountains for extended periods. I have had a grizzly bear and cubs walk through our camp and have walked right next to black bears fattening up on blue berries off a wilderness trail, but never had a projectile of any sort hit my vehicle like this.
Plan your life wisely, you'll be dead before you know it.
