Don Moser quoted Fullingim further on this point in an interview that was part of an
article for National Geographic magazine. What did Archer mean by the Holy Ghost
Thicket? "Now listen at me," he replied, "I can tell I'm in the Big Thicket by the feelin' I
get. It's a kind of religion to me. Down there along Black Creek, I call it the Holy Ghost
Thicket-you get a mysterious, supernatural feelin'. You look at those yellow and green
toadstools, and the overstory of trees, and hear the birds sing. This is where I get the
charge, the feeling, the--the kicks."
Archer's revelation testifies to an important aspect of encounters with the strange
energies in the Thicket, and to why it might serve us well to understand them. Not
everyone has a frightening experience of monstrous forms and ghoulish lights.
Sometimes the encounters may be uplifting and revelatory. Either type of experience
attests to that mostly forgotten and neglected dimension of our essential mysterious
nature without which we are maybe not fully human.
Something of this same effect has been expressed eloquently by Dr. Francis Abernethy.
Of the Thicket he writes, "It represents the Great Unknown to the mind cluttered with
trade names in a society labeled and categorized." And further, "It is the individual's final
fortress against civilization. To those who talk about it, the Big Thicket stands for
something else, too; it is the lair of the mysterious."

Crypto-bipedal-Primatotolgy
Bigfoot, Yeti, Yowie, Sasquatch, and Skunk Ape
Originally the Sasquatch resided in China, known at the time as Gigantopithicus.
Remains of this huge ape-like creature exist only in China, mostly represented by teeth
and jawbones. As the Chinese Dynasties expanded, Gigantopithicus' were driven off by
man, by Chinese expansion and wandered over the Bering Strait Land Bridge into North
America, at the same time AmerIndians Migrated, to adapt into the Sasquatch and the
AmerIndians that exist today
there seems to be a good amount of credible evidence pointing towards the possible
existence of a large bipedal primate, commonly known as sasquatch or bigfoot (and
which may be a species of primitive humanoid thought extinct), in the Pacific Northwest,
and possibly in other parts of North America. However, the creature, cannot be
conclusively proven until a specimen is collected - whether by killing or capture. Until
then, we should remain skeptical, but open-minded, of all alleged evidence of
sasquatch. If we do not, the search for sasquatch will loose credibility among scientists,
the media and thus the general public."
