Urban Sasquatch: Miscellaneous Update 2020 and the Past

 

The Urban Sasquatch Journal is a running series on Ghost Hunting Theories chronicling a present-day Sasquatch experiment utilizing techniques employed by the researcher over a decade ago in a completely different location at an habituation site.

The researcher is back to give everyone an update on the study in this enormous park in Texas.

Here's the update from the researcher - 


To all,


Since my retirement from construction in 2017, I have done very little research. In the past 3 years, when I have gone to look around the old set-up site etc., some of the items have been moved etc. I left much of the items out there, I just put them altogether at one spot. I have spent more time in the local national forest the past few years. There is a NF hot spot area I hope to report on in the future.


On Tuesday Dec. 8, I decided to hike the main creek near the set-up site. I had not walked or explored the opposite side of the creek during my past years out there. I walked and explored that side of the creek for approximately 1 hour, then backtracked and headed to the old site. I did visit the site. I had the 'itch' to do some set-ups. I did a few to see what would come of it.


Temp: 73 Sunny wind: WSW 6 / Awesome December day!

Finished the set-ups then left the site. Headed home 3:10 PM.


On Tuesday December 29, 2020, I decided to do a major trail hike 9.5 miles for the day on the trail near my set-ups/research site. I would complete the hike and check out the previous set-ups from December 8. It had been 21 days. I arrived at the parking area 8:57 AM.


Temp: 64, hi to be 73 Sunny Wind: ESE 11 Another awesome December day!


9 AM: I started hiking the trail. Between trail markers 1.75---2.0 miles, I saw something amazing. Two teepee structures! For the first time in 6 years of investigating and researching this section of urban wilderness, this catches my eyes. I'm shocked. I did not expect to see this. 

I move off the trail and go to both structures. I take photos of both. They are located southeast of the trail. Structure A is approximately 30' into the woods. Structure B approximately 50' in. B is diagonal to A approximately 25'. Structure A is typical with limbs, etc. leaning towards 2 trees which are approximately 2' apart. The most intricate is Structure B. One end of the structure is using the main tree trunk as a starting point with another point being a long, broken hanging limb or so it seems to me.

#6. 10:11 AM

After viewing the structures and taking photos, I continued with my trail hike. Another unusual item was noticed on the next quarter mile of the hike, between mile marker 2.0-2.25. Two trail metal benches were bent badly. Vandalism?? Possibly. Or possible "BF' damage?? In 2004, at Brown Springs Oklahoma, near the old cemetery, I saw 3 heavy metal fence T posts bent over 90 degrees. It would have taken a powerful pipe bender to have bent those. They weren't bent by a pipe bender. photos of the damaged benches follows:



#7. 10:19 AM

2 damaged metal benches along the south side of the trail. ????

#8. 10:19 AM

Left side bench. ????

#9. 10:19 AM

Right side bench. ????

#10. 11:13 AM
On my return hike, I took this photo of the 2 benches. I'm looking down the trail. The tee pee structures are out of sight around the bend in the trail. ????

At this point, I hike back to my vehicle. I arrive around noon and hang out there for 30 minutes, then head over to the set-up site.

I arrive at the site and begin to put together an experiment of gifting treats to see what will happen. I use one of the buckets and put 5 glass containers and 1 plastic container of sweet treats plus peanuts into the bucket. This also includes an orange and apple in a zip-lock bag. I add 3 medium size rocks on top of the containers etc. to make it difficult to get at. I hang the bucket off a strap at 5' 5" off the ground. Again, I'll see what happens. Photos related to the hanging treats follows:
