New Bigfoot Sighting Reported South of the Benbow Inn

According to a new entry on the Bigfoot Field Researchers Organization’s webpage, the elusive but iconic hairy creature was sighted by a Rick Bates on Saturday, January 23, 2021 between Benbow Inn and Richardson Grove.

He wrote,

I was driving home from Brookings Oregon on 1-23-21. I was south bound on highway 101 south of Garberville, Ca and south of the Benbow Inn. The road makes a few turns and the speed limit drops in the area. As I rounded a sweeping right hand turn I saw a figure on the south bound shoulder of the highway. I was the only vehicle in the area about 8:15 PM. My speed was about 45-50 MPH as I passed the figure. The figure was laying on the shoulder of the road on its right side. I estimated the height to be about 7’. I was looking at the creatures back and noticed it had broad shoulders and was thick torso shape. While the shape similar to a human it was not human. It was not a bear either. I could see muscular features in its glutes and a head on the shoulders that was somewhat tapered toward the top and being held off the ground. It’s hair was a chocolate brown and very course. The hair was not fur like of a bear at all.

I turned around a distance past the spot and returned to where I had seen it. No other vehicles had gone north or south from the time I saw the creature to the time I returned to its location (2 minutes estimate). When I got to the spot where I had seen it, the creature it was gone.

As an avid hunter and fisherman I spend a lot of time in the woods. I spent every summer camping in that area as well as a kid. I have never seen anything like what I saw just this evening.

An investigator, Matthew Moneymaker–the website’s creater, contacted Mr. Bates and wrote up his findings. According to him, Bates is a 20 year active duty law enforcement officer. (Note: There is a Sgt. Richard Bates with the Rohnert Park Police Department but we don’t know if he and Rick Bates are the same person or even if there is an actual person with that name.)

According to the investigator, “This sighting is so fresh that it would be worthwhile to look around for tracks in the area if you live in the vicinity. Here is a link to Google Maps showing the spot. Click here.

Read the investigator’s full report here.

Disclaimer: Redheaded Blackbelt does not believe in Bigfoot, however…we lived near this spot for many years and the lower-orchard Boogieman cut a terrifying figure many a time as day slid into night.

Who was it that said “Don’t believe anything that you hear and only half of what you see”.

When I was a kid our orchard monster was called “Bloody-bones”, He only came out at night and if he saw you, you had to die.

Our founding fathers had some incredible wisdom… a quality that seems to be somewhat diluted nowadays.

I wonder who their spook-monsters were?

I loved Kym’s description of her childhood monster, “the lower-orchard Boogieman cut a terrifying figure many a time as day slid into night.” It sent an old childhood memory-chill up and down my spine. Her monster seems to be somewhat reginal though. My Monster roamed the whole Long Valley. It had to eat deer when no kids were around.

The old fairy tales were nothing but our grown-ups relating their childhood fears. Now we protect our children from anything spooky, which makes me laugh, if you don’t tell your kids about Hansel and Gretel they will make up their own spook-monsters. People are really naive. However, most of the people raising kids have no experience at it.

Somewhat diluted?? Omg
The November Coup has proven the sheeple are entranced by Big Pharma and Big Tech and the forces of satanic darkness are ripping the Constitution to shreds. Better to believe demons on the side of the road than hellish entities occupying the Whitehouse or congress. The founders are long forgotten. Marx and Crowley are the heroes of the sheeple.

It’s called the November election. It happens every year. Read some actual journalism that is based on actual evidence not outrage that still seems to sell. Our country has problems but someone losing an election by 7 million votes is not one of them. Believing in Bigfoot probably has more truth to it than your conspiracies, chum.

That was my late husband. He used to put 400-500 miles a night on the Caltrans truck keeping you and your family safe from rocks, mudslides and dead animals on the road. What he saw crossed the entire Avenue in about 3 steps. It was huge and turned and looked at him.

Bloody Bones.

There’s a term I haven’t heard in a long time. Are your people from the Upland South? Or British in heritage?

When I see these ridiculous “Bigfoot hunting” shows taking place in places like Oklahoma and other places I roll my eyes. But Bloody Bones (the actual, well not actually, monster) never gets mentioned I bet. I used to jump into the bed from as mush distance as I could to avoid the boogeyman under the bed. In the Ozarks.

Moving to Humboldt at 7, Bigfoot was sort of “friendly” compared to the monsters in the hills.

I have never seen one but definitely heard one. I was probably 14 years first time. Brother and I riding horses in West End Road across Hwy from our house on 299. We were up in woods, our horses started acting up very badly. Movement in trees and an ungodly yell from whatever. Our horses got us out fast! This was in 1950’s!

It’s true I have logged in the Sierras and the Cascade range and have hunted both mountain ranges and ruff camp since I was a young man and there is something there. Never seen one but have had heard them smelled them and have had rocks and tree limbs thrown into my camp sites at nite just as fire went out. I would say the male has a long continuous roar of a scream at sundown. And if your close to a female it screams like a murdering banshee at night when it gets close to your camp and doesn’t want you around. I believe this person seen one. No person on this planet can scream as loud as a Bigfoot. It’s will bring you to your senses out of a good sleep or startle the hell out of you and mix you up completely. Be aware of the forest.

When you see one it may change your life & just what you think you may know or not? I was 11 or 12 in 1957 / 1957 and in the PA woods near my home I saw what was an adult & a much smaller one. They were watching auto’s going up & down the highway. I had NO idea what I was looking at. [it wasn’t Frank Stein or Ware Wolf that were very scary at that time to me] I’m 76 now and five [5] years ago I saw a large black figure walking through the woods. (eight feet tall or?) Three [3] others with me saw the same thing. Again – see it and it will change your life. I often thought I would much better off if I NEVER saw what I saw walking + + standing? However – I DID. Our American Indians have been speaking of and dealing with these large creatures for thousands of years and one may want to believe them. Many believe they’ve been here for thousands of years before anyone else and have no intentions of going anywhere soon. They avoid humans [most of the time] and are very intelligent.

I wouldn’t of stopped, he would have first asked for a ride, then for a cigarette, then some heady nugs. And during the ride he’d tell you about all the Ketamine he’s ingested in his lifetime while showing you his magic crystals. Then when you stopped to drop him off he’d tell you he has no place to go and ask if can sleep on your couch for the night. I would stop for Bigfoot but never for a [edit].

Not the first sighting in that area… in the early ’90s there was a coffeeshop at French’s camp, and one morning an old logger who lived to the west of this Bigfoot area (he took the road by overpack to get home) told me that he and his hunting dog were intimidated by a loud crashing sound. His dog wouldn’t go out to investigate and he smelled the telltale smell… in the morning he went out and saw that a big drum of used oil had been picked up and dropped on the tin roofed shed, crushing it. The man was visibly moved by the retelling of the story…definitely believed it was a Bigfoot encounter.

I don’t believe this account of a Bigfoot sighting.
He didn’t state that when he saw it that;
“The hair on the back of my neck stood up”
Because that’s what happens when you see a Bigfoot.

Also, he said he went back to double check.

That’s Bullshit, too.

If you really see a Bigfoot, you definitely don’t turn around and go back.

That’s for sure.

Plus, he said it was “Brown”.

I think that pretty much describes his whole story.

Now if he said it was Grey…

Then I would be more inclined to believe him.

If the guy is real, it may have been a case of Pareidolia.

A friend and I were running down to Humboldt Bay from the Oregon coast on a troller. There was something off to the west of us that looked exactly like a guy sitting in a rubber dinghy. We talked about it for a bit (trollers aren’t the speediest things around) and assumed it had to be a tree root out there. But, just in case we turned out towards it to be sure, just in case it was some poor guy. Sure enough, it was a big uprooted stump.

But damn, it sure looked like a guy sitting in a dinghy.

You know why I like Bigfoot?

He/she/they seem to want to mind their own business. They don’t lurk under beds or kill children or livestock or in general anything negative. (I’m sure someone will come along to contradict me).

They didn’t come with the Europeans, bringing their stories made to scare children. It seems the Sasquatch has always been here, part of the woods and mountains.

To be honest, I do not believe they exist either. I’d like to think that some ancient beings managed to survive and the part of me that appreciates child like wonder wouldn’t surprised if one did finally show up (unharmed please). “Oh! That’s cool”.

If the witness did see something that night, I do believe it was a bear. The description of the tapering head is what makes me think this. Not all Black bears are black. As for the fur not being like that of a bear the river is right across the road. Maybe the fur was clumping from being wet?

To those who have not seen, there is a legend…

“It’s just a story”.
“Just go to bed”

To those who do not believe, there is an opinion…

“It cannot be true”.
“It’s not possible”.
“There is no proof”.

To those who are aware, and have seen, Bigfoot is real…

“There he is”.
” He is real”.
” I believe”.

There must be varying degrees of perception among humans.

Maybe some people only have the equivalent of 3G, some people, 4G, some people 5G. …

Some people are colorblind.
Call that 3G.

To them, does a rainbow exist?

What must it look like?

I’m sure they must see it differently.

Then there is your basic senses.

Call it 4G.

Color, “normal shit”, etc.

And then,
I am sure there are other things that some people can perceive that others simply cannot.

The paranormal…
ESP…
Clairvoyance…
Premonitions…
Intuition…
Stuff of legends…

Call that 5G.

Here is the tricky part.

4G can recognize 3G, and can accept that there are those who are colorblind.

5G can recognize 4G and 3G.

But unfortunately,3G, and especially, 4G, cannot recognize 5G.

It just isn’t going to happen.

Therefore they cannot perceive it or even acknowledge its existence, or of their inability to see what is obvious to those with 5G.

It’s more of an increased awareness.

Something beyond color.

I’d try and explain it, but many just have no way to understand or accept it.

One simply cannot fully understand a “sixth sense” without one.

Some people live without color.

Other people just aren’t getting all the messages and are missing the bigger picture.

Some people recognize and understand things that others just simply cannot.

You know how you can tell someone only has 4G?

They don’t believe you when you talk about 5G…

“There is no such thing as a ‘Sixth Sense’ “, they will say.

And that’s the truth, and true, as far as they are concerned, and as far as they can perceive.

It must suck worse than not being able to see color.

But ignorance is bliss, they have no idea, so it makes no difference to them.

Maybe some day there will be a type of special “Rabbit Ears” available for people who lack the sixth sense, just like there are special glasses for the people who are colorblind…

Yet I predicted you would say that….

A perfect example.

And you know this how?

Do you have a “sixth sense”?

Not if you are questioning mine.

Or you would already have known it’s true, telepathically.

You clearly do not have “The Gift”.

You see, people with only 4G want everything, but the one thing they can never have is 5G.

And it drives them crazy.

The only way they can even cope is to deny it exists.

You are a perfect example of 4G.

I had a premonition of your comment.

See above, right after;

“You know how you can tell someone only has 4G ?

You nailed it.

OBSERVED: I was working in the northern part of New Mexico training to be a Wildland Fire Fighter. In September 2003 (maybe the second week of that month) I was dispatched with 22 other people to the Del Loma Fire in the Shasta/Trinity Forest area, the Northern part of California. Each Crew had about 20 people, our plane that left Albuquerque held 2 crews. For almost the whole two weeks, we were all on standby. On the 4th to the last day of our 2 weeks of Fire call, we were setting up camp close to a river, about 5-10 miles out from the original forest fire. It was close to sun down when, a couple of guys were amazed at something. I heard them from inside my tent, but just ignored the whole thing until one of my crew members came and pulled me out of my tent.

I had no idea what I was supposed to be looking at or for. He pointed across the river and I was in shock when he pointed out the biggest, hairiest mammal I had ever seen just walking along the river side minding his own business. It stopped and looked at us. The way he stood on his hind legs was like an ordinary human. He had dark, long hair and stood about 7ft tall with a muscular build.

At this point I was the 4th person standing there in amazement. Maybe about 5 minutes of watching him watch us, with more people coming out with flashlights (because the sun was still going down) he darted in to the trees. He was running, taking long strides, and was gone in about 3 seconds…..and was literally pushing trees out of his way (not breaking them, but pushing them out of his way). The trees behind him on his path up the mountain were swaying back and forth. I was surprised to see to these trees moving because they are thick in width and very tall.

By this time it was dark but lit enough to see which way he was headed. Up the mountain a little, there was a clearing, where we spotted him again before he disappeared for good. He made no noise, no yelling or screaming. He was just as timid as can be.

I have heard many stories about Bigfoot, and known that they are real but when seeing one in real life….you get a sense of respect for them and just have that feeling that there is more to life than you know.

Is it kind of strange that places are named after what it is many people seeing this thing and when they explain it it always seems to have the features every time moving in the same posture moveing at lighting speed and the strength of D-11 caterpillar I believe the man seen a Bigfoot

My husband and I were driving on Walnut Drive in Cutten one night approaching Northridge Rd heading towards town. We witnessed a large hairy figure run across the road at that intersection. It was taller than the stop sign and upright. There is a street light at that intersection so we could see this wasn’t a bear. We slowed and both were speechless, my hair was standing on the back of my neck. I’ll never forget this…

Yep,
No Kidding, I believe you.
That’s what I’m talking about.
Hair standing up on the back of your neck.
That’s what happened to me, too.

Bates didn’t say shit about that.

This is a true story about unusual events that occur in the forest. In the mid 70’s I was a film student at HSU. Myself and one other student were offered an assignment to release and film a couple of rehabilitated previously injured birds of prey in the forest close to the Van Duzen river. The area selected was mature forest with little undergrowth, making it easy to walk and film the birds as they got out of the cages, walked a bit and then flew off towards the upper limbs and sky. The terrain was like around Founders Grove. Big trees and undulating mounds of redwood branches, not thick brush at all, good visibility in all directions. After releasing the birds and filming them fly. We were packing up the cameras and tripods when we heard a distinct sound of a melodic human whistling. Looking around we could see no one. While taking this in we determined the direction of the whistle tune, and it seemed to be close, maybe like 50 feet away. Not only that but it was moving. Needless to say it was quite unusual, a whistled tune traveling thru the forest. We were standing near frozen when much to our surprise emerging from behind one of the mounds was a long dark haired, long dark bearded hippie little person maybe 3-1/2 to 4 feet tall wearing shorts, a t shirt and sandals. He was unaware of our presence. For a moment I was questioning what I was seeing. The other student said hello, which really startled the little person. After explaining to him that we were filming the bird release. We spoke for a while. He worked at an university in the Bay Area and for years had come up and camped at this location. He showed how he had dug a cave under the root mass of a redwood tree on the river bank and made a great camp with a fine view of the river. One of the most unusual events that I’ve had happen in the forest.

The Boogie Man term comes from some very murderous pirates that operate from southern semi remote islands of Indonesia. The pirates are called Boogies. They have a history of attacking and plundering lone sail boats and killing those on board with a machete. Just a historical detail.

Interesting, I thought the term came from down in the southern part of the states where they call Bigfoots (Bigfeets 😄) Woodboogers or booger’s , hence “the boogie man” 👣

All of us have witnessed very unusual events from time to time. I remember once, many years ago, I was laying on the sofa. I think I had a beer, and I think the game was on. I remember very clearly that my wife, who was outside cutting our lawn, stalled out the mower in the tall grass. She must have come inside to ask me for assistance, because I suddenly found myself getting up and going with her outside and helping her start the stalled mower! Yes! I probably said something to her like, “Try to not stall it out”, then I went back inside to finish watching the game. I recall thinking that I wished she wasn’t making so much noise with the lawnmower. And then I dozed off. It may have all been a dream, I mean, I don’t usually get up to help her like that. But the hair on the back of my neck was standing up, so I kind of felt that something very odd had just happened.

I think Bigfoot is blurry, that’s the problem. It’s not the photographer’s fault. Bigfoot is blurry, and that’s extra scary to me. There’s a large, out-of-focus monster roaming the countryside. Run, he’s fuzzy, get out of here. ~ Mitch Hedberg

Yup. It’s happens when parallel universes lose their parallelism temporarily. Where they brush up against each other, indistinct visions of other worlds leads to reports of blurry Sasquatch sightings. Also UFOs, politicians who don’t lie and pit bulls that never bite. The presence of smoke creates parallelism instability quite often through process not understood yet by science.

I saw a black 🖤 mountain lion in Trinidad. I thought it was a cat at first and my eyes were playing tricks on me but it was bigger than my 70lb dog who was chasing it. It was the craziest thing I’ve ever seen. Never would have believed we had redwood panthers either. I think that is why they call it panther gap.

The old timers called all mountain lions ‘panthers’. Maybe you saw a mutant variation that was black. In any case, you shouldn’t let your dog chase down wildlife.

Sasquatch?…Ancient Astronaut Theorists Say Yes !! Sasquatch was exhibiting odd behavior when the creature was apparently spotted kneeling with a “Sasquatch Lives Matter” sign as a Cop Drove by! Go Sasquatch! Think ABOUT it..Even Sasquatch know what’s up!

Say what you will , I had a very close encounter with one 20 years ago. I’ve lived in humboldt all my life and am very well aware of what a bear or mountain lion ect look like. I ran across one on the outskirts of a redwood grove near Miranda. It startled me as much as I did it. Few are lucky enough to of had such an encounter, but once you see one that close standing in front of you it completely eliminates the doubt. 30 feet away standing roughly 7-8 foot tall facing me. It left one way I left the other, I must say hairy and the Henderson’s wasn’t far off, a little different but not much. Had very human like teeth and eyes but obviously much larger. Like the song says, leave Bigfoot alone

To anyone denying Bigfoot: do any of you believe in a god and can you prove it? Do any of you believe in dark matter, and can you prove it? How about a flat Earth, can you prove it?

Let me rephrase the questions, can you prove any of these, including Bigfoot, do not exist? For example, I have undeniable proof that the Earth is not flat: if it was flat, cats would have knocked everything off of it by now.

Everyone wants to crack jokes or not believe until they see I live on ancient mounds and I promise I can make u a believer in Bigfoot and for lack of a better word demons elemental beings and all that they are connected and he has his home were he can watch the rubble that’s on the mounds or whatever lays at the bottom not sure
