The Sasquatch didn't like it when explorers in the Sam Houston National Forest drew too near him last week, and in his fury he hurled giant logs at the curious humans.

That's according to Wes Germer, host of the Sasquatch Chronicle podcast, whose team ventured into the East Texas Piney Woods with the guide of Bob Garrett and sons, a Conroe family of self-declared "cryptozoologists," who have tracked legendary creatures through the woods north of Houston for years, and who document thier findings in various bigfoot blogs.

The expedition didn't photograph the monsters—it seems the Sasquatch is bashful before cameras, as it has never appeared in photo before-- but that doesn't mean the researchers didn't get close to their mysterious subjects. 

"My heart was just pounding in my throat," said Germer on his Sunday podcast as he recounted his chilling brush with the unknown giant.

In the early night, the forest was tame as Germer and Garrett sat and chatted in camp while the crew was out exploring with flashlights and night vision goggles. Then the noise came.

Something in the woods below our camp was letting us know in no uncertain terms that it was very displeased with our presence. Scared the hell out of us. To read more, click here.
