Chapter 1: What hiking experience led to the terrifying encounter?
And I just stop immediately and freeze. I had no idea what I was looking at. I just knew it's the biggest damn thing I've ever seen. And I'm looking at this thing frozen in fear. I can't talk. I can't move. And my wife sees me. She's coming up behind me. She can tell that there's something definitely wrong with me. And I can hear her asking me, what's wrong? You look like you're scared to death.
What's wrong with you? Well, I couldn't talk. I wanted to tell her, stop. Stay right where you're at.
Chapter 2: What unusual creature did Weston and his wife encounter?
But I just couldn't speak. And so she just keeps on coming. And when she gets to the top of the rock and sees this thing, she just starts freaking screaming at the top of her lungs, man. And that's when this thing notices us. And it turns, it stands, it just popped straight up, man, when it heard her screaming. Just like, boom, it was up. No effort, no struggle, nothing.
Popped straight up and turned and looked at us. And, man, I thought I was scared when I saw this thing crouching there. I didn't know what it was. But, dude, when it stood up and looked at us and cocked its head to the left, It was the most words can't describe the feeling that this gives you. You're about to get freaking eaten. Possibly.
You don't know what this thing's going to do, but it's mortifying.
Chapter 3: How did Weston describe the size and appearance of the creature?
It was the ugliest, scariest thing I've ever seen in my life. It's face.
It looked like somebody was bent over and had their head in the window of the deer blind and it either heard me or smelled me and he pulled his head out of the tent and stood straight up and that shocked me. They don't make people that big.
The way it moved, almost as if it was gliding across the beach. I've never seen anything move like that in my life. They were screaming at each other in gibberish. It sounded like a language and they were chuntering away back and forwards, back and forwards, back and forwards. I know what a bear looks like and there is no way on this planet that what I saw were bears.
911, what are you reporting? Jesus Christ, you better... Sheriff? See him! Hello? Get somebody out here.
Chapter 4: What was the creature's reaction when it noticed Weston and his wife?
What's going on now, sir? That son of a bitch is about six foot nine, I don't know. Do you see him now, sir? Yes, I'm looking right at him.
Uh-oh.

Hey, thanks for having me on, Wes.
Yeah, and you and your wife had a very scary encounter. It was a very close encounter, actually. This takes place in North Carolina back in 2016. If you would, would you start from the very beginning? What were you doing and what happened?
I was with my wife. When we first got together for the first five or six years of our relationship, we did a lot of hiking, a lot of camping.
Chapter 6: How did Weston and his wife react after the encounter?
And one of her favorite things to do was go check out waterfalls. And we would just go to any of the surrounding several states, Virginia, North Carolina, Georgia, Tennessee. Anywhere we found something that looked cool, we headed there. And this particular trip, we were...
in North Carolina in the Blue Ridge Mountains, right off of the Blue Ridge Parkway at a pretty popular waterfall named Crabtree Falls. I believe it's the tallest waterfall in North Carolina or whatever, so it attracts a lot of people. And it was late July. Hot, sunny, muggy. We had been camping for a couple of days already in that area. And this was a Sunday.
We were headed home and she decided she wanted to stop off and check out this waterfall that we had been to a couple of times before. I knew that it was going to be busy. And my personality is, if I can, I will try to go somewhere where there's the lowest chance of people being around as possible. I don't like to be around a whole lot of people. Well, my wife's the exact opposite.
Chapter 7: What insights did Weston gain about Bigfoot after the encounter?
She doesn't care. She doesn't even notice other people around. So as I suspected, and typically I lose those arguments. So here we are going to Crabtree Falls.
lot of people there you pull off of the parkway drive down a half mile or so to the trailhead so we get out and take off and this is about a two and a half three mile hike out and back to get to the falls so it's it's uh here we are headed headed to the falls and i don't know halfway there Maybe.
I don't know if you've ever seen, as you're walking on a trail, I'm sure you have, off to the side, there may be other tributaries or whatever running down the side of the mountain, and sometimes they'll just cross right over the trail that you're on.
Well, halfway down this trail, there was a pretty good-sized one of those crossing the trail, and it was like a strewn boulder field going up the side of this mountain off to our right. Lots of big rocks on both sides of the creek and rocks in the middle of the creek as well. But anyway, we decided we would go off trail, climb up this mountain and see where this water's coming from.
Maybe there's another waterfall up there somewhere. Well, that's right up my alley because I know nobody's going to be up there. And there's signs all over the trail telling you not to go off trail.
well that's right off my that's right on my alley too so here we go off the trail when we climb up the side of this we climb up this mountain for a good half mile it felt like may not have been that far but it was tough climbing it wasn't straight up but it's pretty good slope going up the side of this mountain big rocks you got to do a lot of climbing and it was kind of a struggle and i was in front
Because she would need some help every once in a while getting up and over these areas.

Chapter 8: How has Weston's perception of Bigfoot changed over time?
So I was in front so I could help her. And like I said, as we, I don't know, half mile it felt like, we start hearing a pretty good size waterfall. So we know we're getting close. And I come up over the top of this big rock. And get up to the top of it. And there's the waterfall right there. Beautiful waterfall. 25, 30 feet tall. It kind of cascades down.
It doesn't fall straight off the mountain into the creek. It kind of cascades down. So there's kind of levels. You could climb up different levels to get to the top of it if you wanted to. And the first thing I notice is this huge thing kind of crouched. at maybe five feet up from the base of the waterfall. You can obviously tell where the waterfall hits the creek. It flattens out.
This thing's five feet above it, crouching on a rock. And I just stop immediately and freeze. I had no idea what I was looking at. I just knew it's the biggest damn thing I've ever seen out in the wild. It's much bigger than any bears in this area. You might get a 400-pound black bear in this area, but that's big. or the area that we were at. And this thing was much, much bigger.
And it was kind of crouched in a catcher's position, if you will, but its knees were kind of pointed out to the side more. And it had its right arm into the waterfall. It was just holding it there in the waterfall, letting the water run over its arm. I don't know, maybe it was getting a drink or I don't know what it was doing, but it obviously didn't know that I was there yet.
I guess it didn't hear us coming. We weren't being that loud. And this waterfall was really loud. So it didn't know I was there. And I'm looking at this thing frozen in fear. I can't talk. I can't move. And my wife sees me. She's coming up behind me. She can tell that there's something definitely wrong with me. And I can hear her asking me, what's wrong? You look like you're scared to death.
What's wrong with you? Well, I couldn't talk. I wanted to tell her, stop. Stay right where you're at. But I just couldn't speak. And so she just keeps on coming. And when she gets to the top of the rock and sees this thing, she just starts freaking screaming at the top of her lungs, man. And that's when this thing notices us.
And it turns, it stands, it just popped straight up, man, when it heard her screaming. Just like, boom, it was up. No effort, no struggle, nothing. Popped straight up and turned and looked at us. And it cocked its head to the left. And, man... I thought I was scared when I saw this thing crouching there. I didn't know what it was.
But dude, when it stood up and looked at us and cocked its head to the left, it was the most... Words can't describe the feeling that this gives you. You're about to get freaking eaten, possibly. You don't know what this thing's going to do. But it's mortifying. And to describe the size of this thing...
It's impossible with words that I, I don't know if any of the famous orators of the world could describe the size of this thing when it's, it was close. It was probably 20, 30 yards from us at this point. I don't know if Shakespeare could do it. You would just have to be there to understand how big this thing is and how scary that it looks.
