Numerous accounts of mysterious encounters in the forest can be found within the annals of Sasquatch research and lore. Tree knocks resound, rocks are thrown, and enigmatic structures and nests are discovered. Giant tracks are located in remote areas, and eerie cries echo through the woods. Campers and hunters report a strong sense of being watched, along with the sound of bipedal footsteps in the underbrush.Despite the absence of any physical creature, Sasquatch researchers attribute these phenomena to the presence of an unknown giant primate lurking in the North American forests.

What if something other than the forest giant is responsible for these encounters with an unseen force? Perhaps the answers to these questions lie beyond the realm of Sasquatch research.
