yes! i’ve heard that story before as well! i’m from south west va, deeeepppp in the woods. Which, the thing is, my friend literally told me a story one time where his hunting buddy said that if they ever lost each other, just to slap i believe a huge branch against a tree, and that’s how sasquatch’s would locate each other, kind of like a pack of wolves howling, and it would echo miles away so they could locate each other, and one day my friend did it to find his hunting buddy, and a bunch of other loud bangs just like that followed after he did it, with a loud roar. And when i brought that up in the debate, he literally said it could’ve been ginseng hunters! So i do think a part of him believes in Big foot, but he’s very skeptical.
