Surveyors Confronted by Bigfoot
Posturing with Intimidation on the Mogollon Rim
Surveyors Harassed & Confronted by
Mean Posturing Bigfoot on Mogollon Rim
Rick G. writes RMSO on managed page
I'm a land surveyor in Arizona. Had a sighting near Mogollon Rim close to strawberry Arizona in 2012 while setting panels for a topography flight. Never had bigfoot on the mind, never imagined they would be in Arizona. It totally messed me up for the better part of a year. Classic ptsd , nightmares, panic attacks you name it...really sucked. Like every other time in my life I've been knocked down i got up and faced it .. I've been back to that area several times hoping to see one of them again. They're there..
We saw the same one multiple times. I say we because there was 3 of us on the crew all 3 of us saw the same thing the closest point that we saw him was probably about 35 as you ran by us
RMSO asks.
Hi Rick, we are familiar with the Mogollon Rim, our team actually camped near Strawberry one year for a week long expedition.. We received a bigfoot sighting report from the outskirts of Pine last February 2022. A woman saw the creature move along the fence line at the back of her yard while she was standing at the kitchen window.
If you don't mind could you describe the Bigfoot as best as you recall.. Height estimate, width, color or face description etc...? How did the sighting start, what happened, how did it end?
Rick continues
I'm telling you that area is HOT!! I've gone back with one of my coworkers and camped for two nights last April we were hearing some crazy stuff we were on the south side of the highway. Literally a 20 minute walk to the rim
We had driven back to that area to work about 3 times from Tucson that month. Typical there are survey problems with this type of job. Associates couldn't see one of the panels on the fly over , an elevation was busted , etc etc.
The clients who met us at the Dennys in Payson had bought the property to make it into a Christian retreat or something like that it was about 50 acres of some pretty rough, nasty terrain that was going to be worked out near the Rim. Work was pretty scarce back then so when I got a call to help I was pretty happy, you pretty much took whatever you could get back in those days ,2012. It was cool for me and the other guys because it was going into its 3rd weekend. Being that it was the 3rd time that we were there, so we absolutely needed to finish.
It started getting dark and that's when things got crazy. I'd say at about 7:15pm August 19, 2012. There was discussion amongst us about the best way to get to the GPS base and break it down. All this has relevance because we ended up turned around out there as it was getting dark.
The guy we picked up in Phoenix to help us was lagging behind and he kept saying he could hear something behind him. Honestly I thought he was full of crap and was being paranoid because all he did was complain the last couple of hours we hiked.
I guess the circus started when we heard and felt steps run by us in the trees that felt heavy. He yelled out it was a bear. I saw it really quick and thought the same. None of us had ever seen a bear EVER in the wild. So assumed, oh crap it's a bear. Didn't see it to good at that point but it felt close.
No more than 5 minutes later the other guy Carlos pointed and told us to look, and there it was about 50 feet away standing next to a tree looking right at us. From the little bit of natural you could make out his size and that he was covered in hair. He had a mean looking posture and you could see his body breathing. It didn't look like it was standing straight up but even then it was well over 6ft....easy. It grunted a couple of times and just like that was gone.
No words can describe the absolute crippling fear that comes over you. The three of us just stood there. In that moment i could see his face reflecting light , he looked kinda shiny, other than two big black eye sockets I couldn't make out any other features. Its hair was definitely black or really dark brown.
We eventually started moving toward the base and picked it up. The entire time we were moving it moved with us, just out of sight. You could hear it. I couldn't smell anything. At one point I stopped and looked into the trees for about a minute and sure as heck there he was just standing and watching us from about 60 feet. It was like he was trying to hide and be stealthy but wasn't making an effort to do so.
Longer story short it all ended when we got back to the truck and it must-have known we were scared because he let out some kind of yell as if it was telling us to get the hell out of there.

Cameraman Runs Away from Sasquatch
when He Realizes It's Not a Bear
Found this photo from 2018 purportedly sent to NvTv
A hiker captured what appears to be Bigfoot on camera stating they thought it was a black bear & snapped this photo. When they got closer they realized it was Bigfoot & quickly ran away.
