Humans Killed By Bigfoot? A Campground Incident In Bishop, California

We rarely hear of people being killed by sasquatches, but this second-hand account of an event in Bishop, California is worth a note.
 

Reported by the late Rich Graumley, a researcher for the CBFO, the California Bigfoot Organization, he was talking with a bulldozer operator in 1981 who had also hunted in the area, and he brought up the subject of Bigfoot.
 

Graumley reported that the man told him a story from the mid 70’s in which he had been poaching in the area (with permission from the Forestry Service) in a gated area near Bishop in an area there known as Four Points.
 

He drove over a bluff in his pickup truck only to find Department of Interior and Bureau of Land Management officers there. According to the man, they grabbed him, confiscated his gun, and interrogated him for 7-8 hours about why he was there.
 

The man was finally let off the hook when local forestry officials identified him as a friend, but the DOI and BLM officers warned him to never return to the area. But in the course of the interrogation the man found out that a “sasquatch” had entered a campground there, ransacked the area, turned over a large, heavy dumpster, and killed several people. But no clues about the incident were reported to have ever been found.
 

This story might have disappeared into obscurity, until a young student investigating Bigfoot accounts was doing some research in Bishop 1989-90. He reported that he met a police officer there who had been on the local police force in the 70’s when the incident had taken place. He told the student that the story had been the talk of the force at the time, but they had all been under strict orders not to breathe a word about it or the deaths to anyone.
 

Graumley also reported the hunter had told him the officers had been heavily armed and that a very strong smell still lingered in the air while he was being interrogated. He also stated there are no brown bears in California and a black bear would have been incapable of turning over a full-size dumpster.
 

Later, Ray Crowe reported in his journal, Track Record, that he believed the incident, due to the fatalities and the odd nature of the case, had probably been reported by the officers as a bear attack. Basically swept under the rug. *******DF
