Can I Call This a Big Foot Encounter?
I was camping with friends, in an area with a high Sasquatch reporting rate / capita. Not in a campground or anything, just this area not far off in the woods we liked to visit.
Me, 3 girls, and a friend who was going to join us later. I wanted to scare the girls, so I told them a bunch of credible stories about bigfoot, including the fact that every Native American tribe has the same description (which they seemed to find compelling).
About mid-way through I hear footsteps approaching, quietly. I think, "oh good, our friend has heard me telling scary stories and is going to sneak up and surprise us".
I turn up the volume and continue on so the others don't notice.
Thing is, the footsteps circled the tent (not all at once, they'd stop and wait every now and then), then went away.
I think, "ok, he's taking a leak, or something, over there." and keep going. After a while, at a pause where I see them all expectantly listening to the silence of the woods,
I yell "AHHH!", and they all scream.
We had a good laugh, one asks "wait, was all that true?", and then another says, "and [insert friend's name] can stop trying to scare us and come out of the woods now!".
"Ya, where'd he go?" they wondered.
They'd all heard the exact same thing I had- quiet footsteps approaching, circling our tent, and then leaving.
We were creeped out enough to change the subject to something light.
About 45 minutes later we hear loud, crashing footsteps coming from a mile away.
Heavy footfalls, brush being pushed aside, leaves crunching under foot. In comes our friend.
We ask if he saw anyone else out there. "No.?" he says, looking a little alarmed. ".Should I have?".
We all agreed that what we heard was bipedal (we all camp enough to know what deer sound like), and so much quieter than our friend that it would have had to of been an expert stalker.
Also, our friend had a flashlight just to stay on the path, which we could see from far off.
This other visitor had no light, and was definitely close enough to the tent for us to have seen one.
Yes, there are human's who could have done that, but the likelihood seems super small that one would happen to pass us by in a random location in the woods (we were not near any houses, the closest trail was at least 500' away, across a river).
I believe that bigfoot is somehow connected to our consciousness, so I think maybe we somehow got one of their attention / summoned one by having 4 people in a tent all focused on & creeped out by them.
I wrote this off for a long time but the more I think of it the more I think it actually was something less explainable than a random, highly skilled hunter walking through the woods at night to check on some kids.
What do you guys think? Could this qualify as an "encounter"?.

Thanks for sharing. I would say, yes, it qualifies as an encounter.
I've heard things following me in the forest. Stopped when I stopped, moved when I did. I never saw or smelled anything but I call these events encounters.
So, yes, its an encounter. Go out again with just one other person and see if it happens again.
