That Was No Bear

Dena shares her story of a bigfoot which charged her, then screamed in her face. At first, she thought the creature was a bear, but its size, gait, and behavior made her realize it was something Other. Dena also tells us about encounters with “tall greys”, a bird-footed entity, and more.
