Ranger attacked and traumatized by Bigfoot in Sequoia National Park

A former ranger at Sequoia National Park describes his encounter with a Bigfoot. His jeep was attacked and damaged. He was later terminated by his supervisor for telling the truth.

"Hi. My name is Arthur, and I'm a Californian, I used to work as a ranger at Sequoia National Park from 1994 to 1997. before I start I just want to say that I'm crying as I write this because the memories are extremely traumatic.

It happened in 1997 in my last year working as a ranger. It was also this event that got me fired. I was patrolling an area that was not very frequented by visitors because of the density of the bushes, and because it was an easy area to get lost.

I had received a report of loud sounds coming from there, sounds that were scaring the visitors, making them think there was a bear on the loose or something. It was noon and I was driving around the area with a jeep and a tranquilizer rifle just in case something was really there.

I spent one hour driving around and I stopped the jeep, exited it, and was standing by the open door. I was about to pick up my walkie-talkie and report the situation to one of the other rangers that were patrolling the other side when I heard something on my left, a loud growl.

I looked and there was a big reddish-brown thing with wide shoulders, long arms, and huge human hands looking at me. This part really breaks me every time I remember it because I got paralyzed in fear at the moment because this thing was bigger than any grizzly bear, and was glaring at me with a face that I can only describe as a hungry predator.

I felt like an ambushed prey. I stood there and this thing charged at me with full force and I entered the jeep almost instantly. The creature crashed into the jeep breaking the door's window and the thing grunted in pain. I turned the jeep on and accelerated beyond the speed limit of the park. I looked behind for a second and this monster was running after the jeep on all fours, just like a chimp. I panicked even more and I increased the speed and some curves later I finally lost him.

I arrived at the ranger station and there was nobody there. I remember being so panicked that I locked myself inside a bathroom and I'm certain that I fainted because I remember that everything went black. When I woke up, it was 9 pm and the other rangers were looking for me.

My boss confronted me about the jeep having one of the sides damaged with the broken window and when I told him that a big animal attacked me. He got angry at me called me a liar who sleeps on the job, and accused me of crashing the jeep on a tree and making stories up to not to get in trouble, and fired me.

I did years and years of therapy and it didn't work. The memories still haunt me and I still have nightmares and sudden panic attacks. I know the thing that tried to snatch me was a Bigfoot and not a bear. Bears don't have human faces, human hands, and wide shoulders, and they don't have freakishly long limbs. I lived with these memories for more than 20 years, and this is my first time telling this story ever since. Thank you for reading this."
