It's not Bigfoot. It's just Rick Wagoner looking for a handout. Stop worrying--okay, never mind, be very afraid.

How to deal with Bigfoot:
1) Bigfoot doesn't want to hurt you, so that's the good news. While there have been many sightings of the big guy, there have never been a single report of injury associated with a Bigfoot attack.
2) Since you know now that Bigfoot doesn't want to hurt you, you should consider yourself lucky that you're awake to get a chance to meet him. Most people have never met him.
3) Most people who have run into Bigfoot are mistaken. They've just bumped into Feral Bill out taking a leak.
4) Why is Bigfoot in camp? He's searching for your bearbag, but not for the food. He's usually rummaging for conditioner.
That's not Bigfoot, it's Chewbacca. He's wandering around the woods aimlessly looking for work now that George Lucas is done with him. He probably just wants to be your friend.
Best thing to do in such a situation is to try and sit up all night drinking hot tea.
Bigfoot makes a great pot of decaf herbal by the way.
If he does wander into camp, just don't mess with him like the people do in the beef jerky commercials that almost never ends up good!:D

Big Foot, Santa and the Easter Bunny travel in a pack so unless you see all three at the same time I think you will be alright.
Wear Earplugs.

Yes, that is the important question. What time of year and the temperature would also be factors to consider before inviting one into your tent.

During my encounter with Big Foot I was freaked out, also. He left me alone and actually yelped at me. He freaked my teenage sons a few years ago by just standing and watching them. They screamed and ran.
Back in the 70's there was a report of a Baptist minister who fought off Big Foot with an axe in the Ocala National Forest right near the present FT. Speaking of the FT, that's where both of the encounters happened, one in the OCNF and one in the Etoniah Creek State Forest near Bardin, FL where they actually have a Big Foot museum.
I know Big Foot is real. I'm not kidding.

I did read an article that Bigfoot footprints were seen in GA and NC in AT shelter areas. No one ever saw him during the day, so they assume he just picked thru tents and shelters at night after everyove was sleeping.
Bigfoot is male, there used to me a "Mrs. Bigfoot" so he takes more to girls rather than boys.
I don't know if you are a boy or a girl... I will try and find the links to those articles...

My credibility may be forfeit, but, I'm sticking with my story. If you saw what I saw, you're credibility might be forfeited, too.
I can't believe that an animal that big could go unnoticed for so long in an area where the populations are growing. If you told me that scientists found a new species of field mice or a new species of insect, I could believe that, but not an animal as large as bigfoot.

Actually, even if they said they found a new species of field mice in a populated area, I'd be skeptical and figure they confused it with a more obscure species.
Sadly, America has been picked clean and there are no surprises left.

If you're interested in Bigfoot and/or believe he is real, try reading the book "Monster" by Frank Peretti. It's a fiction book with a "realistic" (not fantasy or tall-tale) style evaluation of how a Bigfoot-like creature could be possible... and one woman's incredible experience with the species.

Bigfoot lives under your bed and in your closet with the rest of the monsters that go "bump" in the night. You'll be fine on the trail in your tent. No beds or closets there. Of course, if you listen carefully late at night, you'll here them all making their way through the woods coming for you. My guess is you didn't get much help with this yet. Actually, if you hike any distance at all, you'll be too tired to worry about it.

OK, here's my story. I started a late afternoon hike two Julys ago in the Etoniah Creek State Forest. I hiked for an hour and went down a side blue-blazed trail. It had rained earlier and I had seen no tracks in the sandy-to-red clay jeep road. When I started back I noticed fresh footprints where I had been walking only a half hour earlier (or less). Since I had seen no one else that day or noticed no prints I thought,"How strange, who is walking barefoot out here in the middle of no where?" The tracks entered the trail from the right, went down the trail a few yards and then went off the trail to the left. That's when I noticed these prints were huge, 18 inches or more. I didn't measure and I didn't photo them cuz I was pretty freaked out. I felt it was watching me and was mad at himself for being noticed. As I scooted out of there watching over my left shoulder, it gave a yelp, half human half-animal and was gone (or so i felt).
So, that's my "encounter". If you check Stumpknocker's TJ, he was talking with some folks out in the same woods about the Bardin Booger (local nickname for Big Foot). They call those woods the Bardin Booger Woods.
10 or so years ago I was camping with my wife and 2 teenaged sons at Buck Lake ONF. We had canoed across and set up our own camp on the west side of the lake because the regular campground was full. The two boys, being too cool to camp with their parents had set up their own camp a ways off. A few hours later they came running back with all their stufff in their hands screaming that they had seen a wild "Satchmo" (their interpretation of Sasquatch). They maintain their story to this day, saying that they looked up and this tall hairy guy was watching them.

If you are afraid of big foot on the AT, try this. It works. First, always camp near other hikers. Secound, before entering your tent (never stay in a shelter) make a sound "what-hoo-what-hoo" while you clap your hands. Third, leave a little debbie, snickers or other sweet treat in a clear and visable spot when and where you make the "I am friend" what-whoo-what-hoo sound and clapping sound. Stay in your tent if you hear big foot approach for the treat and you will be just fine. This has always worked for everyone, so it should work for you.

Well, there's another thread talking about how people carry guns on the trail. Bring a gun and shoot anything that looks big and hairy...
Seriously though...don't. If you are afraid of Bigfoot, then spend the money on psychiatric help instead of a hike.
Although, if you are seriously afraid of bigfoot, then you might qualify to have a therapy dog with you the whole length of the trail. Therapy dog will protect you.

I guess it's better than What-ho What-ho.
That translates as "screw me, screw me".
And you know what they say about the bigger the feet.....
And you know what they say about the bigger the feet.....
Let's see, my feet are bigger since I started hiking...Hmmm:-?
He is serious. However, he mistranslated. The meaning of What-Hoo What-Hoo really means "screw you, screw you" in Bigfooteeze. TD55 was just trying to fix you up good.
Shows you how much you DON'T know. Clapping of the hands changes the whole meaning. As usual, folks who don't know what they are talking about have to put in thier two cents worth just to hear themselves talk. The method I gave for keeping safe from Bigfoot works. I use it and have never been bothered by Bigfoot. If that ain't proof, I don't know what is!

OK, here's my story. I started a late afternoon hike two Julys ago in the Etoniah Creek State Forest. I hiked for an hour and went down a side blue-blazed trail. It had rained earlier and I had seen no tracks in the sandy-to-red clay jeep road. When I started back I noticed fresh footprints where I had been walking only a half hour earlier (or less). Since I had seen no one else that day or noticed no prints I thought,"How strange, who is walking barefoot out here in the middle of no where?" The tracks entered the trail from the right, went down the trail a few yards and then went off the trail to the left. That's when I noticed these prints were huge, 18 inches or more. I didn't measure and I didn't photo them cuz I was pretty freaked out. I felt it was watching me and was mad at himself for being noticed. As I scooted out of there watching over my left shoulder, it gave a yelp, half human half-animal and was gone (or so i felt).
So, that's my "encounter". If you check Stumpknocker's TJ, he was talking with some folks out in the same woods about the Bardin Booger (local nickname for Big Foot). They call those woods the Bardin Booger Woods.
10 or so years ago I was camping with my wife and 2 teenaged sons at Buck Lake ONF. We had canoed across and set up our own camp on the west side of the lake because the regular campground was full. The two boys, being too cool to camp with their parents had set up their own camp a ways off. A few hours later they came running back with all their stufff in their hands screaming that they had seen a wild "Satchmo" (their interpretation of Sasquatch). They maintain their story to this day, saying that they looked up and this tall hairy guy was watching them.
Alrighty, thanks for posting the "real" story. Might I suggest you print it out and post it somewhere near your computer for easy reference. Nothing so incredible as a story embellished...

Maybe you'll get your own TV show. They got the monster quest guys out there now. They could probably use competition. Can I be your camera man?
Or I could be like Jim on the Wild Kindom as in "now Jim will wrestle the bear down and put a tag in his ear."

I would certainly entertain the idea of WB being mentioned in the credits of the movie. I would have to talk to my agent first.
Walk up to a bunch of southern hunters and tell them that mountain lions / cougars don't exist down here and they'll consider it fightin' words. these are guys raised in the woods with guns - but have been unable to bag a giant cat that they are absolutely sure still exists in the southern apps. With that being said, i'm only one to believe what I see with my own eyes, so I do not believe that "bigfoot" exists. At least not here!
Few folks did anything to address the original issue of this post, which was more to the tune of "I can't get this idea out of my head while backpacking". To that, I'd suggest that the entire reason we drag our butts onto the trail is to experience that feeling of abnormalty and unpredictability. In other words - don't you want to see something that few others ever experience? We revel in the bear sightings, snakes under-foot, and once in a lifetime weather phenoms that scared the crap out of us. So to answer the original question-confront your fear, think about what you would do if it did or didn't show aggression, and then go hiking. It's not like any of it is actually within your control anyway! That's why we do it! If we just wanted to sleep outside we'd just walk outside our front door and set up. The unpredictability of the AT is half of the draw!

I am no hunter, but I was riding my dual sport motorcycle on the dirt roads of the Talledega national forest, and when I came around a corner in the middle of the road stood a cougar. I think we shocked each other. The cougar stood looking at me for a while and finally made one long stride and then leaped (Long leap, If you think your little kitty can jump, wait till you see a big one jump) into the forest beside the road. The creepy thing is that as soon as he leaped into the forest he just dissapeared, immediatley blending in with the surroundings. I think he was still sitting there beside the road in the trees because I did not see any bushes or trees moving indicating it was not running anywhere, or perhaps it was watching me, thats the feeling I got, so after looking around for it I just kept on moving forward.
I am not one to believe things till I see them either, but this was clear as day. It was a cougar and no bob cat. It had a long tail, plus it was only about 30-40 feet away from me so I could clearly see it was a cougar. This was right on the edge of the Georgia / Alabama border. If they are their I believe they could easily be in Georgia since it was a 10 minute ride till you cross the border.

Scared of Big Foot?
You have a greater chance of getting killed by locals who are bored and have nothing else to do. Or running into a serial crazy that just likes to kill for kicks. I would worry more about reality and try not to worry to much about things that most likely will not occur.
The chance to meet Big Foot or aliens would thrill me to death. It's the crazy's out there that scare me more than anything.
As my wife who works in Social Serivces tells me, "I fear the people with mental health issues more than I do the normal guy on the street".
I don't remember the western movie that I saw as a kid but I always liked the following line, "It's not the dead that bother me it's the living".
Just remember that I grew up with a family in the funeral business so what I think is funny you might not.
Later.

" Sasquatches have likely had many opportunities to attack humans. However, only two reports describe violent attacks on humans and just one describes the killing of a human -- the story told by President Teddy Roosevelt in his book, "The Wilderness Hunter" (1890)."

Thanks, that's interesting. Sounds reasonable. I must add the one that stalked me for a minute yelped and left.
My "amateur psychiatrist” $0.02 worth:
Phobias are "Unreasonable fears" so as such; you don't really need there to be a Bigfoot to be frightened*. My wife can barely stand on a 1’ step stool without “totally loosing it” She knows full well that she very likely will not get hurt falling from such a height, yet afraid she is. I have seen her unable to stand next to something (a bridge in the Smokies, over a creek we were standing in. 2’ high at most.) that if she got on it would make her “too high”. BUT, I have also seen her hop into a helicopter for a flight like it was a Metro Bus. She even aggress, like you, that it makes no sense! For the most part, it doesn’t interfere with her life, so she deals with it well enough.
It seems though that your Unreasonable fear is, as such I suggest you seek help. Be it: Counseling, Medications, Meditation, to help at least reduce these fears.
Maybe even (I’m being serious here) a marathon session of the movie “Harry & the Hendersons” could help. I’d get the extended version with “the making of” in the extras. Perhaps if you saw the actor playing Harry, being put into the suit that would help.
This advice is free, and you very likely are getting what you paid for.
* My dad used to work with a man deathly afraid of snakes. To the point that if he saw a box with the word “snake” on it, he would flee the office. He even said, he had no rational explanation for this fear of snakes. Even knew there was no snake in the box, but said he: “It doesn’t make a difference!”

The fears probably are a result of stuff that happened in a previous life.:-?

Some of us have No Fear, so we need our phobias.
I think if you make it into VA, you'll be past most of the "Bigfoots" until you hit Southern Maine. But, there's a bunch in southern GA and parts of TN/NC. There's nothing to fear. They run away before you even see them.

LMAO, yeah but the sneaky ones are in Maine. They are never seen until it's too late. The Big Foots (or Big Feet) in Maine are why the population is sparce in some areas. Folks in Maine are so afraid of the Big Footes that they run to the coast to get away from them and have to eat lobster to survive. Oh... the horror! :D
