OBSERVED:     I've just been through your site and looked at all the photos and witness sketches and sightings and basically everything on your site. The tree limb formations are what I have on my mind here.

I live in Northern Utah and went on many camping/hunting trips with my father in the high Uintahs, and various places above Monte Cristo in Ogden Canyon.  We had a scary experience while staying in a designated campground when I was very young (nothing to do with bigfoot, more of a paranormal experience) and so we always stayed in the places my dad hunted. They were always large secluded areas where he had spotted big game and usually the camping trips fell just before a hunting trip so he could scout the area.

I believe Bigfoot exists, and always had an uneasy 'being watched' feeling whenever we were in these areas. The last trip that I remember feeling this way, I was 14 and we were camping at a place known around here as Drybread Hollow, a popular place with big game hunters but at that time of year (late summer) we were the only people in the area.

I've seen limb formations, much like those you've included in your photo section. I've heard the grunts and hoots and whistles included as sound files on a few other sites, though my dad who spent most of his life in these canyons had never seen anything to make him believe that Bigfoot is really up there.

We never camped for less than 4 days, and I never went far from the campsite even though I knew the area because I had that constant feeling I was being watched. I've seen shadows in the treeline that disappear should you dare look away and turn back just to make sure you're not seeing things.

I've never seen a fresh kill, or tracks or stool, but definatly limb formations. They stand out most in my mind and every time I've seen one the uneasy feeling is stronger.

I'm not the only one in my family to have this feeling, and my brother (17) had an experience closer to a residential area which he related to me.

DATE:  June or July of 2000 and the occurrence
took place after they had settled in to sleep for the night, being a bunch of
teenage boys it was very late and he wasn't sure of the time.
 

A group of 6 including my brother were camping overnight near a river (I'm not sure if it was the Weber River, but I'm pretty sure that's what he said, close to where a Riverdale sighting was reported in the 80's) and they were all sitting around joking and talking till late in the night. After going into their tent and settling in for the night everything was quiet for about 15 minutes. Then he says the next thing they heard was a loud tramping around in the underbrush not far from where they were camped. There were other groups of teenagers scattered about the area, but he said this sounded really big and it kept getting closer. It would stop, a branch would snap, and then the loud footsteps would be heard again. My brother and 3 of his friends got out of the tent telling the 2 remaining that they would be right back and ran to the car and slept there the rest of the night. They were rather shaken up about the noises (either that or they're just chickens!) They went into the woods surrounding the area in the general direction where they heard the noises during the morning and found one clear footprint and several snapped branches.

Anyway, enough of my babbling. I know he's/she's been spotted in the areas I've mentioned by those who were not afraid of ridicule and reported their sightings. I'm just wondering if the things I've seen and felt could be bigfoot evidence, or coincidence.
