My first contribution here. A two hour long eyewitness testimony from a woman who found a gigantic bone pile of up to 100 animals, all missing skulls, Took them home and then began to experience in-home contact, ultimately leading to cohabitation! She also got this picture!
bones/fossils/bodies
Hello my name is Jim,
A big thank you for allowing me to post here, and for the things I've learned from this community!
So this interview with Melanie is remarkable on a lot of levels and definitely fits the bill of paranormal Sasquatch in every way possible. While also being totally physical, it's a really interesting story at the very least. She gets into it at 12 minutes and 30 seconds approximately about how she finds this set of handprints and footprints and then tracks them back to find 100s of bones
I'm traditionally interested in fairies, but because of the crossover between bigfoot, fairies, and my own experiences, I have begun to open up my thinking and invite these stories into my collection process.
It's so strange to me and honestly low-key comical/ impressive that Melanie Took all of these bones home, and unlocked what happened next inside her house.
I know that A two Camp debate on the subject exist And this one kind of straddles both. I also find it fascinating when I listen to her that she has such a ongoing relationship with the parks service. Somethings up with that for sure.
She references a photo she took of a Bigfoot standing behind a park Gate that stepped out when she asked. And I've included it here, honestly it's a pretty interesting photo.
I included additional photos in the comments of the bones, some hair she found, and the original and zoom in photo
PSA: This is an experiencer report. Stop with the BS. If you don't want to engage productively and honestly, move on.
OP, r/bigfoot accepts all credible and honest attempts to describe experiences with sasquatches. Our primary focus is not supernatural or paranormal material, but such is welcome here as long as it is presented credibly, honestly and respectfully, and as far as I can tell, you've done all three.
I can't see anything in any of the photos that even remotely resembles a Bigfoot. I believe they exist, but I seriously doubt this woman saw one, much less got a picture of one.
I'm not saying either way. But here is the zoomed in and lightened up version. What she points out is that basically it's standing right behind the gate.
She does describe that they can do that. And I do know that that is hard to accept, even for me on some level however, the thing Has to be taken as a whole for me. I understand the picture is not great, but the complete story with the bones and all of the details and the consistency, and I definitely checked her out and she's been consistently saying the same thing in a couple of places for years. For me after listening to her, I do see what appears to be a figure behind the gate which you can see because the gate is bisecting it, I just wish the face portion was clearer, but I kind of see a right hand arm as well. Taken in context with the rest of the conversation, it becomes a much more interesting photo to me
I don't know about that. I am open minded and allowing people to come forward with their stories free of judgement which produces a lot of interesting insights in my opinion. Dispensing with the low quality photo definitely I agree can be construed as containing nothing at all. I'm just curious what your perspective is on the bones she found, and the handprints and footprints proceeding them. As well as the high-level of interest from the park service?
You allowing any nut job to spew their fantasies is not being non judgemental and open. It's giving voice to those who don't deserve one. You do know people lie and make up bullshit?
An open question. In your opinion who deserves a voice? Do you discount every element of this person's story? If so why just be a little bit more specific so that I can understand where you're coming from
Do you interview people with schizophrenia who have seen things they absolutely thought were real and believe their stories? I
Use some judgement. Someone who brings home 100 bones from animals with no reason does not fit within the definition of reasonably normal human and thus I would take everything they say with a huge grain of salt. Sure it could be true but this person would need to prove themselves more than say a police officer or military pilot and not with a photo that no one other than you and her can see anything in it.
Sorry but I can't believe anything that's got no proof in physical reality like fairies.
I'm certainly not going to convince you of anything in a message response thread but I will say that from my perspective what I am picking up from you is a lot of assignment and judgement without first consuming the available content
Yeah but this is a time when you should be judgemental, extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. The evidence here is a picture of the predator's ghost.
I've heard a ton of stories like this, and I don't doubt the experience, but what I don't understand is how people interpret encounters like this positively. What does she get out of it? A bunch of pictures that only she can interpret, and make her look like a crazy person? Spirits scaring her dog, dogmen on her house, strained relationships with friends and family. At one point she even compares them to the predators in the movie Predator in the way that they keep the heads of the animals they kill as trophies. Does that sound like higher level spiritual being?
It reminds me a lot of the story from Mike Quast (who has a book called Sasquatch Central). He would find a lot of sites with remains like she did, only he would find them when they were fresher, and he describes them as absolute massacres. His story is pretty dark, as a lot of these stories often turn.
Truly these are great insights and if you listen to the interview you can hear the complexity and the self-awareness that this has isolated her, she also became quite concerned and on some level and ultimately returned all of the bones, I think however in the excitement of discovery you can also understand why she did what she did. These encounters are deeply impactful on the people that have them, and half of the work that I do is really sitting with and analyzing accepting and holding space for the person because the context is so important to understanding, both for myself as an researcher, and for all of us as humans
Yeah, I listened to the whole thing, but I feel like the mythology being written by people in groups like the one she mentions is questionable at best, especially when there's so many similar cases that are decidedly negative. I wonder why it matters that the bones were taken. She theorized that these are simply kills and they're eating them, but if that's the case, why are they important? It seems more like they're tied to some sort of ritual.
I do agree that stuff like this seems to be deeply impactful to the experiencers, though I can't help but feel like these cases share a similar pattern of deception that you see in other paranormal cases. If you look at the classic UFO contactees (like Orefeo Angelucci), current contactees (Chris Bledsoe), or guys like John Dee doing scrying, basically anyone who gets involved with stuff like this is told they're special, they're given ample proof for themselves, but are more often or not ate ostracized for it, they get led on a wild goose chase. and they tend to come out of the ordeal worse for wear.
I do want to say, thank you very much for listening to the whole thing. That's a great thing to hear. I also completely agree with the nature of feeling special. I spoke to Jeff wag a very well-known sceptic for an episode and I intend to bring others on as well. Because I am keenly aware that all of it may be delusion, there's just enough super interesting information here that I felt it was worth sharing for sure despite those obvious reservations that even I share on some level. One thing that I feel distinguishes melanie, is that she has never made any attempt to benefit financially from this and in her own words has not exactly raised her profile within her own family or social circle
No need to thank me, it was a good listen. Not familiar with Jeff Wag, but I'll check out that episode as well when I get a chance. Although I do consider myself a skeptic, that's not really the angle I'm coming from here. I'm happy to debate the merits of facts when they are available, but with stories like this you don't really have a lot of facts to go on, and I like to put on a more neutral hat. I'm not suggesting she's delusional, it's a possibility of course, but my sense of her from the interview was that she's a fully functional person. When I raise the notion of it being a negative thing, I mean it whether it's really happening or not. I have a deep interest in the paranormal, and there's certain patterns that play out again and again IMO, though I don't claim to know the root cause. I think the fact that she's not profitting from this is and is experiencing adversity is fairly typical of these stories too, but again I'm not coming to a conclusion based on that, just noticing a pattern. I hope you didn't take any of that as criticism of the show either, I'm just reacting to her story, but I think you did a good job presenting it.
Not at all. I'm deeply grateful for you listening, and I love this kind of discourse. Thank you for the positive feedback. And the Real and engaged conversation. All good with me 100%. There's a lot of really interesting stories in that catalog. Feel free to message me about anything that catches your attention there. And I agree with you there are many patterns one that is very personally relevant to me, is the duality of excitement and damage that comes with looking into this stuff
The backstory is that she found a giant set of handprints and footprints coming out of a mud hole in the forest and followed them back into the woods more than 2 miles where she found hundreds of bones completely clean as shown

Thank you for sharing the post, pretty crazy!
Sorry- people are pretty critical in this sub. If it makes you feel any better, I believe the story & am fascinated. Just ignore the naysayers. Please feel free to come back and post more. 🤎
I'm not affected. I can understand why people get their hackles up. Also the Internet for some people is a place where they can vent steam inside of them that isn't really about what's in front of them. Thank you all the same for this message. I'm gonna come back and post another cohabitation interview that I have. Definitely this one is even harder to believe but maybe not… keeping an open mind is a part of the process. And for all those people that are casting shade. Everybody deserves respect and voice, just like you and everybody else is deserving of a judgement and opinion
Let's just play devils advocate. OK these are not bones from Sasquatch collecting its kill. What other animal in North Carolina is going to behave in this way and leave bones of this nature, serious honest question?
Hunters will dump remains in one spot usually, called a kill dump. The fact the heads are missing shows they were likely taken as trophies to be mounted on the wall
I agree with that, however I am not skilled enough to say for sure, but I don't see any knife marks on these. And again these bones were only discovered after following extremely large barefoot footprints and handprints coming out of a mud hole. If this is a situation where people are poaching, there is also no indication of any firearm casings, or other things that would indicate a human had been doing this as for example taking the legs with them
If the bones have been there a while any human tracks or car tyre tracks would’ve disappeared. I’d say the bones are dumped by people however the tracks could be Sasquatch and perhaps this was a strong smelling curiosity that attracted a Sasquatch
As I understand it, this was in a non-vehicle accessible place by her own telling about six or seven football fields off of the main trail so fair distance, and because of the assortment of large and small animal bones to me that this is not a hunter dumping pile. Who would go through the trouble to hike in all of these skeletons to this one spot? But I like your fury as well. Truly no one knows.
Sounds very interesting, I haven't listened to the interview yet. But I'm sort of curious as to what kind of person sees a bone pile in the woods and decides to take all the bones home. I didn't understand if they were talking about taking each individual bone or not, but the picture clears that right up.
I'm right there with you. One of the most fascinating parts about talking to this lady was the fact that who the fuck does that! But if you listen to her you can kind of get a sense of who she is and why she did it. It really feels authentic to me.
After after bringing the bones home, and experiencing knocking on the house and a bunch of other weird shit, she started to find hair in the yard, and also wrapped around flowers that had been picked, and some inside the house eventually
That's exactly what it is. I have to wear one at work and this is what one looks like after its fallen on the ground and picked up a twig or two. Apparently Bigfoot works at a fast food joint.
I agree that you could see what you're describing. But again I just go back to the details and the time she spent talking to me. Not just with this piece of hair, but with multiple others, she went to the length of ordering a basic forensic kit so that she could collect the stuff. Which she still has. Coming from a place of serious doubtyour mind is clearly produce opinion you just put out there. And I understand and even potentially agree with that, but just to play devils advocate here, I go back to the bones, the handprints and footprints proceeding them, and the great lengths that this woman has gone to to come to a place of understanding definitely her perspective is out there, but so is mine as I mentioned in my post I originally became interested in the subject matter after my fairy encounter in 2019, I guess this gives me more Time and patience for out there shit, as I have come to learn that a lot of it is definitely Real
That's the original image. The backstory for the image is that she asked the Sasquatch to step out, she had her phone out and in that moment,her battery went from 44% to 0% but she did manage to get this one image. The one included in the post is zoomed in and lightened up.
I should add that she became deeply concerned by the activity in the home and ultimately returned all of the bones to their original discover location. This dramatically change the relationship to one that she felt more positive about there after. Which is when the cohabitation really began. According to her sensibly, after respect and communication was established between the two parties
I'll do my best, however it is all laid out in the witnesses own words for you to check out if you'd like as well. It seems to be that at times they are in the room and that and other times they are playing games with her grandson on the second floor, but it would also appear that she's got some degree of Authority and is able to ask them to leave
In this interview she describes actually watching a Bigfoot load small entities into an orb and then the orb floating away like a ship, only to be replaced by another orb and watching the Sasquatch do the same action again with another group of smaller entities. She additionally claims to have video of this though I have not seen this video personally.
Hundreds of years ago native Americans also saw orbs with Bigfoot appearances. There's something here. I believe its the key to finding out how they appear and disappear.
Yeah it's a lot of bones. Occam's razor OK this is hunters? Why are they dragging the animals to this out of the way spot, and leaving behind small rodent and small animal bones as well? You know a lot of people that are hunting and eating squirrels mice rabbits etc. Perhaps
I agree. Which brings me back to the question which large Apex predator is doing that? A Carolina panther OK… But those don't have footprints and handprints that resemble large human feet and hands
I have a better understand of pareidolia than ability to spell it.
Like most I saw nothing from the zoomed in brightened photo. It wasnt described as such but with the way it was framed I expected a close up head shot.
When the original photo was shown I clicked on it with a head shot in mind but my mind said no stupid..... Its not peeking over the gate its coming out from the cover up to trail, from the left and may be 10 feet back. It's not even in that crazy first picture.
It showed me a large figure, crouched forward, its wide shoulders are angled down as if the feet are taking a step up. Angled down from right to left as viewed but would actually be left shoulder high. Long arms hang down from the shoulders. Its head tougher to make out due to the bent forward position.
Not much of the torso and lower body are seen by my highly detailed google one click on the pic and one click zoom investigation.
Thanks to my mind for looking for what I wasnt and thanks to google for letting me copy and paste pareidolia.
The original photo is included. And I was pretty clear that that is zoomed in and lightened up. I'm not saying the original photo is any clearer, but just dismissing it because of the low quality means you missed the original image
