Man Records Bigfoot Digging in His Backyard, Then The Worst Happened – Sasquatch Encounter Story
The Last Warning
Chapter 1: The Night Digging
I never imagined that recording a Bigfoot digging in my backyard would turn my life upside down. Now, I’m sitting in a cramped city apartment, staring at concrete and streetlights instead of the forest and stars I once called home. My Montana house is gone—not burned or bulldozed, but destroyed in a way no one who wasn’t there could understand. The insurance company thinks I’m lying; the police suspect I vandalized my own property for attention or money. Even my brother believes I had a mental breakdown. Friends look at me like I’m a stranger, unsure whether to believe me or think I’m mad. But I know what I saw.

It began three weeks ago, just past midnight on a Tuesday. I woke at 3 a.m. to the sound of digging—heavy, primal, aggressive clawing at the earth, tossing soil aside with force. The sound came from my backyard, only fifty feet from my bedroom window. I live alone on five acres bordering dense Montana wilderness, with neighbors miles away. This was why I chose this place—for peace, quiet, and nature’s embrace. For eight years, it was perfect.
That night, fear crept in for the first time. I thought it might be a bear digging for roots or grubs, but the rhythm was too deliberate, almost intelligent. I grabbed my phone and peered out the window. Moonlight revealed a massive figure hunched near my garden—at least eight feet tall, covered in dark fur, digging furiously with hands, muscles rippling beneath thick hair. It wasn’t a bear. It wasn’t any animal I knew. It was something else.
My hands shook as I unlocked my phone and started recording. The creature stopped digging, slowly turned its head toward me. Its face was neither human nor ape, something in between, something impossible. When dawn broke, I ventured outside, bat in hand, to find three deep, circular holes dug methodically across my yard, with dirt piled neatly beside each. Near the garden hole, I found enormous footprints—eighteen and a half inches long, seven inches wide, five toes splayed wide, impressions deep enough that whatever made them was incredibly heavy.

The next nights followed a pattern. At 3 a.m., the digging resumed, purposeful and intense. The creature moved from spot to spot, making new holes. By the fourth night, it wasn’t digging anymore—it was placing intricate twig and branch arrangements around my property. Teepee shapes, X patterns, spirals woven from bark and dried grass. I photographed them, but research only led to Bigfoot conspiracy theories.
On the fifth night, three Bigfoots appeared—one familiar with a lighter fur patch on its shoulder, the protective one I’d glimpsed before, and two larger, more aggressive creatures making deep rumbling sounds that shook the house. The aggressive ones destroyed the twig markers, while the protective Bigfoot tried to fend them off. They shoved and tested each other, dominance and territory at stake. The aggressive Bigfoots retreated but lingered at the forest edge, watching.
Days passed, and the aggressive ones grew bolder, appearing in daylight, circling my property, staring through windows. The protective Bigfoot stood guard but was visibly wearing down, limping, its fur matted with dark stains. I found blood on my porch—dark, almost black, unlike any animal blood I’d seen.
Chapter 3: The Siege
At night, the scratching on my house’s wooden siding grew louder and more deliberate, circling the structure and stopping just outside my bedroom window. Heavy footsteps trampled across my roof, shaking light fixtures, pacing slowly as if marking territory. Sleep became impossible. Nightmares plagued me—dark, massive shapes watching, tapping on glass, silent stares from the shadows.
I lost weight, appetite, and focus. Every sound made me jump. I spent hours staring at the tree line, waiting for something to emerge. The tension was unbearable, knowing something was coming, but not when or how.
Then, one Tuesday evening at dusk, the protective Bigfoot made direct contact. It approached slowly, eyes locked on mine, intelligent and aware. It gestured urgently—pointing to the forest, then to me, then pushing away—telling me to leave. It showed me a breaking gesture, snapping an invisible stick in half. The message was clear: leave now, or everything would be destroyed.
I refused to leave my home. The creature grew agitated, pacing and grunting, while the aggressive Bigfoots watched from the shadows. The protective Bigfoot positioned itself between me and the forest before disappearing into the trees.
Chapter 4: The Destruction
That night, the aggressive Bigfoots attacked. They screamed horrible vocalizations, clashed violently, and slammed against my back door, cracking the frame. I barricaded myself in my bedroom, trembling with fear as my dog cowered beside me.
At dawn, I fled to my brother’s house, leaving behind a battlefield. When I returned days later, my property was devastated. The driveway was littered with broken branches; the backyard was a ruin. The holes were filled in, but trees were stripped of bark, bushes uprooted, and the musky wild animal smell was overwhelming inside the house.
The back door lay torn off its hinges, windows shattered into sparkling shards. Inside, chaos reigned—cabinets ripped from walls, food spilled and rotting, furniture destroyed, deep claw marks gouging walls and doorframes. My bedroom was wrecked beyond belief—mattress shredded, dresser smashed, clothes torn, bathroom mirror shattered. The smell of territory claimed was suffocating.
Outside, a trail of dark blood led from the porch into the forest, mingled with tufts of lighter fur—the protective Bigfoot’s mark. Near the tree line, a final twig arrangement stood—a carefully woven structure topped with a tuft of that familiar lighter fur, a farewell or memorial.
Chapter 5: Aftermath and Reflection
I packed what little I could salvage and sold the house at a loss to out-of-state investors who never visited. I moved to the city, trading forest for concrete, stars for streetlights. My dog recovered, but I remain haunted. I keep the stone with the tuft of fur, the only tangible proof of what happened.
The insurance company denied my claim. Police closed the case as vandalism. My brother thinks I’m broken. But I know the truth: there’s a war in those woods, ancient and primal, with beings far beyond human understanding. One Bigfoot tried to protect me, fought its own kind, and paid a terrible price.
I’ll never return. That land belongs to them now. I only hope the protective Bigfoot survived. I wonder if it is remembered, honored by its kind, or if it fell defending a human who never belonged.
Chapter 6: The Warning
If you ever move to a remote forest, beware. There are territories and wars unseen, beings with rules we can’t comprehend. If you hear digging at night, find strange twig markers, or see massive footprints—don’t ignore the signs. Leave before it’s too late.
I was lucky. The protective Bigfoot gave me a chance. Most aren’t so fortunate. Some wake to destruction; others never wake at all.
I carry the memory of those intelligent eyes, the desperate gestures, the sacrifice. I carry the knowledge that the world is stranger and more dangerous than most can imagine.
And I carry the warning: respect their land. Stay away. Or pay the price.
