Bigfoot Stalks American IndianGrowing up in a Native American community, the narrator was taught about Bigfoot as a fundamental part of life, akin to basic safety lessons. This cultural knowledge emphasized coexisting with Bigfoot by avoiding interaction, a practice rooted in an unspoken agreement to mutual non-interference. As a high school senior living in a rural, wooded area, the narrator experienced a chilling encounter one night while walking home. They detected bipedal steps pacing them in the dark, a presence that became more assertive as it deliberately made louder noises. Using a passing vehicle’s headlights as a distraction, the narrator sprinted to escape, only to hear a tree limb snap loudly ahead, signaling Bigfoot’s dominance and control over the territory. The encounter profoundly impacted the narrator, reinforcing the Native perspective of Bigfoot as a powerful, sentient being that communicates through energy and actions, much like humans. The broken limb was a deliberate statement of superiority, reminding the narrator of their vulnerability in Bigfoot’s domain. This experience, described as more intimidating than facing a bear or wolf, underscored the Native understanding of navigating Bigfoot’s territory with respect, akin to passing through a gang-controlled area where one is seen but allowed to pass unharmed by choice. The narrator reflects on this event as a humbling lesson in coexistence, highlighting the creature’s ability to assert its presence without direct confrontation.Join my Supporters Club for $4.99 per month for exclusive stories:https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/what-if-it-s-true-podcast--5445587/support
