A couple was in the northern woods of Wisconsin looking for a camping spot when they encountered, what turned out to be, a female Bigfoot and her juvenile.
“I never told this story to anyone but my family and maybe three other people. I'm retired. I worked in science and I'm a skeptic of most of the things I hear about. This happened to me in 1964. My wife and I went out in the northern woods of Wisconsin, looking for a place to go camping. We weren't going camping, we were just looking. I was going through some really tall, wide grass and I saw a place up in front of me that looked like it was padded down, so I was very leery. So I went up there and peeked, and there's a bear in there. I told my wife to run and get my gun. She ran to the car. I ran over and swung up into a tree. And the bear was only maybe a first or second-year bear. I didn't see the mother around or anything. I was so scared, I couldn't figure out what to do.
So I'm standing there, looking at this bear and I know bears climb trees but this one wasn't trying to climb it. It looked like he was playing with me. And all of a sudden a tree, a small tree, maybe eight feet long, with dirt on one end, came flying out of the bushes and hit this bear in the rump, and, boy, he took off. He ran under where I was in the tree. And I turned around and watched him disappear through the grass. I was ready to get down out of the tree and I turned around and there was this thing standing there. Up until this time, I'd never heard of a Bigfoot or anything like that. I grew up in the city in Ohio, so I'd never heard of such a thing.
The first thing I really noticed was it had four arms. It had two long arms and it had two little arms that looked like it came out the back of its neck. And I think I froze. I don't know but I looked this creature in the eye. It had dark eyes and its face and eyes were one of the most peaceful things I had ever seen. And I just stood there on this limb, looking at it ten feet away from me. The first thing that popped into my head was, it was an alien that had come from somewhere off this world. I don't know how long I stared at it but all my fear left me and I was just calm, standing there looking at this creature. And my wife came running back from the car. I had told her to get my pistol out of the car but it was the wrong car. It was in my other car. I wasn't gonna shoot it. I was gonna shoot at the bear and make noise and run it away. But anyway, when I looked over at my wife I thought, Oh my goodness, I'm not dreaming. And I looked back and I saw it turn and walk about another ten feet away from me and go back into these bushes. Well, there were small trees and then in the back of that, there was a forest. Big trees.
Anyway, hanging on the back, what I thought was two extra arms, was a baby hanging in the back of it and it had a hold of the hair on the chest. It didn't look like anything from the ape family. I gotta tell you, I have a very good memory and I took a picture, more or less, unconsciously, of its face. I looked at the feet of the baby and they were flat. It had toes like people's toes. It disappeared into the woods. And I'm just standing there. I'm just stunned still. My wife comes over and says, 'Where's the bear?' I said. 'It ran off.' She said, 'Why?' I said, 'That tree. That tree came flying out of the bushes and hit him in the rear end and he ran away.'”

DOPPELGÄNGERS: SHOULD WE FEAR THEM? | Join Us For LIVE CHAT | Questions & Answers #Doppelgänger
Have you ever met someone who looked just like you? Perhaps you’ve walked up to a person you thought you knew only to find they were a stranger. If so, you may have met a real-life doppelgänger.
What is a doppelgänger? The word comes from German meaning “double goer.” Today, it’s often used to describe two strangers who look so much alike they could be twins. Seeing a doppelgänger can be startling. That’s true whether it’s a person who looks just like you or someone who could be your friend’s twin. It’s no wonder, then, that doppelgängers are also common in frightening stories.
Many times, a doppelgänger is the double of another character. They are like the character in many ways, most often in looks. However, the things that make them different are more important. The doppelgänger often differs from the main character in the values they hold. This results in them making choices that lead them down a different path. For example, “The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde” by Robert Louis Stevenson. In this story, both characters share the same body. However, they are opposites, with Dr. Jekyll representing good and Mr. Hyde evil.
There is also a historical attribute to this phenomenon. President Abraham Lincoln supposedly saw his doppelgänger when he saw two faces in the mirror on the night of his first election in 1860. The second face was pale and sickly, which his wife, Mary, interpreted as a sign of death or sickness during his second term. Only a few months after his second election, Lincoln was assassinated by John Wilkes Booth.
So, what do you think a doppelgänger represents? Listen to these accounts and form your opinion.
