Im posting here with permission, a collection and commentary by SouthJerseySasquatch: BIGFOOT, THE MENACE OF THE FOREST. All this talk about the Benevolent, Loving, Forest People doesnt add up. Has there been stories about aggressive Bigfoot? Absolutely. But South, some Native Americans said they were their Forest Brothers. That is not the norm it would seem. Many Native Tribes considered Bigfoot to be something to avoid. So keep teaching your followers to bring these creatures in closer and see what really happens. I did a quick internet search on Bigfoot Aggression and I got bored with copying and pasting what I found here. In 1902 in Chesterfield, Ohio, a group of ice skaters were assaulted by a hairy, 8-foot monster carrying a wooden stick. In Thompsons Flat, Oregon, a Bigfoot supposedly scared off the towns inhabitants back in the 1800s. One man stayed, and was later found dead, apparently having been bonked with a large rock. In 1924 a group of miners near Mount St. Helens, Washington, shot a Bigfoot, only to have its buddies relentlessly attack their cabin with rocks and debris through the following night. Apparently, beef jerky or no, there really is no messing with Sasquatch. Also in 1924, a Canadian named Albert Ostman claims he was kidnapped by Bigfoot and taken back to the creatures family. After six days he fired his rifle in the air and made his escape. Why he waited six days is anyones guess. Teddy Roosevelt himself (you know, the President) reportedly knew a man who claimed his trapping partner was killed by a Bigfoot somewhere deep in the woods. It may have been a tall tale, but it seems Teddy believed it. In the 1970s a Bigfoot allegedly tore up a California campground, and killed several people. This was kept quiet by the authorities, until the story came out in a newsletter in the early 1990s. He said the old man without hesitation said let me tell you about them Damn things, about 7 years ago in Ohio my son and I were bow-hunting for Deer. My son shot a button buck, and we both went to retrieve it. When we got near the Deer we saw a huge upright walking creature come out of the woods and picked up the Deer and began to try and eat on it, or chew on it where the blood was coming out of the hole the arrow had made. The old man said he was frozen in his tracks, but his son wasnt thinking straight went towards the Thing and was yelling for it to let his Deer go. The old man said that the creature stood up and swung his giant hand and struck his son sending him flying about 20 feet backwards into a huge tree and then he fell to the ground. The old man said he tried quickly to notch an arrow into his bow and try to shoot at the creature, but in a flash the creature was upon him and struck him down to the ground in one swift blow. The old man then raised his shirt and showed my nephew a giant ragged and torn looking scar from the Neck to the waist area. My nephew said it DID NOT look like a surgical scar in any way. He ask the old man what happened after that, and the old man said well I just got out of prison after serving 5 years when the young man ask him for what? the old man replied......I have told the Police, the prison Psychologist, Counselors, and every one else who would listen to me, that the Bigfoot killed my son, but when other hunters found us lying there, it was only my dead son and Me, so they think i killed my son. According to the Explore Southern History website, one of the earliest accounts of an attack in the United States dates back to 1829. The weird attack was reported in newspapers in February 1829 in Georgia where it allegedly occurred in the Okefenokee Swamp. An expedition of hunters curious about the Native American legend of wild men in the swamp went to hunt these creatures down. They made camp and were discharging their guns in order to reload with refresh power when an animal charged them. It killed several and the animal was itself killed. The creature was said to measure 13 feet from head to toe. The hunters fled the swamp leaving their fallen companions where they died. The story is that Bigfoot came through a camping area turning over a dumpster and killing several people. The dumpster was too large for a human, bear, or other animal to turn over. Several people are said to have confirmed this story including a former policeman. The Department of the Interior and Bureau of Land Management is said to have investigated and perhaps covered up the incident. Several nights later two other loggers decided to chase the animal down and confront it, they were found: their bodies slammed against tree trunks and torn to pieces. A trail of blood-smeared footprints led off into the forest. Within twenty-four hours, the logging operation was deserted. A professional hunter was hired to track the beast down and kill it, but he was unsuccessful. It was never captured nor its voice heard again. The most people could hope for was that the animal had either moved away, or had died. Nearly all ancient native american legends regarding Bigfoot tell of a savage, aggressive and evil beast. Variously telling of the beast being a cannibal or being an evil spirit that brought sickness and misfortune upon mankind when their paths crossed. The legend tells of a monster who would attack the Potawatomi in winter time and devour them, he was described as being a giant who had an all-consuming hunger yet the more it eats the less satisfied it would become keeping it continually hungry. The Bigfoots (only referred to here as the giants) had been raiding human settlements on SE Oklahoma and Arkansas for some time, mostly stealing vegetables. They had also been stealing human children and apparently eating them. A Choctaw search party was organized, led by Joshua LeFlore. A hunting party tracks the Bigfoots down and finds a giant mound with the bodies of 19 human children the Bigfoots have been kidnapping and eating. The Bigfoots are covered in hair, and the bad smell of their shit and piss is everywhere. Most of the humans horses rear up and throw their riders, which is what horses do when they see Bigfoots. Many Western tribes describe areas of their territory that were totally off limits, and the Indians refused to go there, for these were the territories of the Bigfoots. These territories were full of game, but the Indians were so terrified that they avoided them like the plague. Why would Indians avoid a forage-rich area area due to creatures that don’t even exist? Boqs are large, hairy wild men of the forest. In the folklore of more northern tribes, such as the Bella Coola, boqs are malevolent, dangerous monsters who may eat people or molest women. Bush Indians are hairy wild men of the tundra in Ahtna and other Alaskan Athabaskan folklore. Bush Indians are very aggressive and often feature as bogeymen in stories told to children, sometimes kidnapping or even eating unwary kids. In Salishan mythology, Seatco are large, hairy wild men of the forest. There are two different kinds of Seatco that appear in folklore: powerful but comparatively benign forest spirits sometimes referred to as Night People (similar to the Sasquatch of the Halkomelem tribes,) and fearsome, malevolent man-eaters sometimes referred to as Stick Indians. The two beings are often confused in folklore and anthropology alike, because it is believed to antoagonize these spirits to call them by their Salish names in public, so general terms like Seatco (which just means spirit,) Night People, and Stick Indians are much more commonly used by Northwest Native Americans. In the traditions of many Salish and other Northwest Indian tribes, Stick Indians are malevolent and extremely dangerous forest spirits. Details about Stick Indians vary from tribe to tribe (they are described as large, hairy bigfoot-like creatures by the Salish, and as forest dwarves by the Cayuse and Yakama.) In some traditions Stick Indians have powers to paralyze, hypnotize, or cause insanity in hapless humans, while in others, they merely lead people astray by making eerie sounds of whistling or laughter in the woods at night. In some stories Stick Indians may eat people who fall prey to them, kidnap children, or molest women. They also take aggressive revenge against people who injure or disrespect them, no matter how unintentionally. Not too many traditional legends regarding Stick Indians have been recorded, in part due to taboos related to these deadly creatures. Stick Indians is an English euphemism; saying the actual Salish names of these beings in public is considered to be provoking their attacks in some tribes, a belief many Native people still adhere to today, choosing to refer to them only in English (if at all.) Wood Man is a hairy bigfoot-like wild man of the forest who moves silently and rarely reveals himself to humans. Frequently he steals things or causes other minor mischief. In some stories Wood Men capture Athabaskan children or pursue humans and attempt to mate with them.
