1
00:00:00,560 --> 00:00:03,840
Welcome back, everyone. 
Grab a blanket, get comfortable,

2
00:00:04,080 --> 00:00:07,280
settle into your favorite chair,
and prepare yourself for a 

3
00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:09,640
collection of chilling Bigfoot 
encounters. 

4
00:00:27,400 --> 00:00:30,320
Me, my brother, and a couple of 
friends were out exploring some 

5
00:00:30,320 --> 00:00:33,480
old caves near the whole river, 
deep in the Olympic National 

6
00:00:33,480 --> 00:00:36,960
Forest, hoping to find some old 
Native American artifacts. 

7
00:00:37,520 --> 00:00:40,400
We'd packed our lunches and 
spent most of the day in this 

8
00:00:40,400 --> 00:00:44,360
damp, chilly cave. 
After about 6 or 7 hours, we 

9
00:00:44,360 --> 00:00:48,480
stumbled upon something strange.
It was kind of a rough nest made

10
00:00:48,480 --> 00:00:51,760
of broken branches and pine 
boughs tucked away in a side 

11
00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:55,160
passage and scattered around 
were animal bones. 

12
00:00:55,600 --> 00:00:59,320
Plus the air in that part of The
Cave had this heavy musky smell.

13
00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:02,440
It was really strong. 
We were getting ready to head 

14
00:01:02,440 --> 00:01:05,400
out when we started hearing 
these loud thumps above us. 

15
00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:08,680
Rocks were falling from the 
Ridge above The Cave entrance, 

16
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:10,480
and these weren't little 
pebbles. 

17
00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:13,760
These were good sized rocks. 
We couldn't tell if they were 

18
00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:16,800
being thrown or just pushed, but
it made us uneasy. 

19
00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:20,280
We started walking down the 
trail but then we stopped and 

20
00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:23,280
turned back to see what was 
going on and that's when we saw 

21
00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:25,920
it. 
A huge hairy figure was moving 

22
00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:29,800
up on the Ridge. 
The creature was very tall, we 

23
00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:33,440
estimated over 6 feet. 
It had really broad shoulders. 

24
00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:37,480
Long brownish hair covered its 
entire body and its head was 

25
00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:41,320
shaped kind of like a gorilla's.
It was moving in the shadows and

26
00:01:41,320 --> 00:01:44,920
it was running on 2 legs coming 
right down the hill towards us. 

27
00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:47,960
We panicked. 
Me and my brother ran to my 

28
00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:50,840
truck and he was so scared he 
almost ripped the door handle 

29
00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:53,040
off. 
Our friends ran to their truck 

30
00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:55,440
too. 
We all jumped in and speed off 

31
00:01:55,440 --> 00:01:58,840
down the logging Rd. 
As we were driving my brother 

32
00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:00,920
looked out the window and he saw
it again. 

33
00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:04,320
The creature was keeping pace 
with the truck and we were going

34
00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:08,560
about 30 to 35 mph. 
It was still running on 2 legs, 

35
00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:11,880
then it just turned and ran into
the thick forest. 

36
00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:16,600
The area is really remote with 
dense forests and the whole 

37
00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:19,840
river nearby. 
Plenty of food and water and 

38
00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:22,360
it's a perfect place for 
something like that creature to 

39
00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:25,360
hide. 
A month later I went back to The

40
00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:28,680
Cave and it was fenced off by 
the Olympic National Park 

41
00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:31,320
Rangers. 
No explanation was given. 

42
00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:36,880
Broward County, Florida, 1980 or
1981. 

43
00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:40,400
My brother and I and A friend 
were hiking in an old cow 

44
00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:43,920
pasture that was overgrown back 
around 1980. 

45
00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:47,360
Davy still had a lot of woods 
and overgrown orange Groves. 

46
00:02:47,920 --> 00:02:51,320
Sure, I had heard of the Skunk 
Ape, but was never concerned. 

47
00:02:51,920 --> 00:02:55,120
Being a boy, I was adventurous. 
And anyways, we were in the 

48
00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:58,080
pasture hiking when we found an 
old tractor trailer. 

49
00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:00,040
The trailer's doors were 
missing. 

50
00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:03,440
They were off and lying rotten 
on the ground with trees growing

51
00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:05,560
in them. 
We noticed that the trailer 

52
00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:08,760
smelled really bad. 
We decided to climb in and look 

53
00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:11,640
around. 
All we found was stench, like an

54
00:03:11,640 --> 00:03:14,640
animal lived in there. 
We were too far from the road 

55
00:03:14,640 --> 00:03:18,120
for a bum to wander in and there
wasn't any sign that anyone kept

56
00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:21,200
the place up. 
We lost interest in the trailer 

57
00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:25,240
and started to hike some more. 
We came upon a canal that forked

58
00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:28,440
with another one. 
To make a long story shorter, I 

59
00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:31,040
saw something looking at us from
across the canal. 

60
00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:34,000
We were still about 50 yards 
from the edge of the canal at 

61
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:36,800
this point. 
Whatever it was, it didn't take 

62
00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:40,720
notice of us right away, but as 
we got closer, it looked up and 

63
00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:44,160
raised its arms above its head 
as if it was waving at us. 

64
00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:48,840
This area was very overgrown and
on all my previous trips I had 

65
00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:52,840
never seen anyone out there. 
Whatever this was scared us all 

66
00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:56,560
so bad we ran all the way home, 
locked the doors and didn't 

67
00:03:56,560 --> 00:03:59,160
return to the area until a few 
years later. 

68
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:03,000
My brother now says that we were
imagining it. 

69
00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:05,280
I've thought that it was a snake
bird. 

70
00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:07,960
You know the ones that sit on a 
post and spread their wings to 

71
00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:10,400
dry. 
However, I keep replaying the 

72
00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:13,480
incident in my mind and I don't 
see a snake bird. 

73
00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:17,360
There was a humanoid head and 
the colours were all wrong. 

74
00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:19,800
Snake birds are usually 
blackish. 

75
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:24,600
What I saw was more brown. 
About 10 years later, an old 

76
00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:27,560
timer told me about a creature 
he saw that crossed in front of 

77
00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:31,080
his car on Old Griffin Rd. near 
US 27. 

78
00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:35,000
He described the creature as a 
Bigfoot and said it scared the 

79
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:39,280
hell out of him. 
The witness and two others were 

80
00:04:39,280 --> 00:04:41,800
down at the pond in the woods 
about one mile from the 

81
00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:44,600
witness's house. 
The young men were camping and 

82
00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:47,760
enjoying the great outdoors that
Tennessee has to offer. 

83
00:04:48,280 --> 00:04:50,840
It was a clear night and the 
young men were preparing hot 

84
00:04:50,840 --> 00:04:53,320
dogs. 
One of the witnesses had driven 

85
00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:56,120
his truck to the campsite and 
had parked it on the Ridge. 

86
00:04:57,160 --> 00:05:00,840
The witness stated that a very 
loud moaning yell resonated 

87
00:05:00,840 --> 00:05:03,880
through the woods and the young 
men were immediately overcome 

88
00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:06,880
with fear. 
Shortly thereafter, a few 

89
00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:09,880
seconds, perhaps the same yell 
was heard again. 

90
00:05:10,280 --> 00:05:13,880
This time, however, the yell was
followed by the sounds of fast 

91
00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:18,040
approaching bipedal footsteps. 
The witnesses were shocked and 

92
00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:21,000
quickly ran to the truck. 
They turned on the vehicle's 

93
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:23,400
headlights and illuminated the 
hollow below. 

94
00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:27,360
There, to the witness's 
amazement, about 20 yards away, 

95
00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:31,320
was a hairy thing, standing 
approximately 6 feet in height. 

96
00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:34,640
The only other detail the 
witness was able to provide 

97
00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:37,480
indicated long arms and dark 
hair. 

98
00:05:38,280 --> 00:05:41,040
The witness said that he was so 
frightened that he recalls no 

99
00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:45,280
facial details whatsoever. 
He said he is absolutely certain

100
00:05:45,280 --> 00:05:48,400
that no human in a costume was 
there that night, and that it 

101
00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:52,160
was certainly no animal with 
which he or his companions were 

102
00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:55,640
remotely familiar with. 
The young men hurriedly left the

103
00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:57,400
campsite and the creature 
behind. 

104
00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:01,440
The witness's mother said that 
the witnesses rushed into the 

105
00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:05,040
house in a near panic stricken 
state and said that their faces 

106
00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:08,200
were white as snow. 
The mother believed the men and 

107
00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:11,360
soon she experienced the same 
sound coming from the woods. 

108
00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:14,800
She said that whatever the 
witnesses saw that night scared 

109
00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:18,560
the wits out of them. 
Further, she added that now she 

110
00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:22,280
and the boys, who are big boys 
over 6 feet tall, are afraid to 

111
00:06:22,280 --> 00:06:24,040
go into the woods. 
Period. 

112
00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:30,640
On March 3rd, 2012, in Anderson 
County, Tennessee, something 

113
00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:33,040
happened to me and a buddy that 
we can't explain. 

114
00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:36,080
I hadn't really thought about 
whether or not I believed in 

115
00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:40,040
Bigfoot as a biology student, 
but whatever this was made me a 

116
00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:42,920
believer. 
Basically, it scared the hell 

117
00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:45,880
out of us. 
Me and Clay had grown up in the 

118
00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:48,800
North Lake area. 
We're hunters, fishermen, 

119
00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:52,320
backpackers, and general 
outdoorsmen and we've never 

120
00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:56,440
encountered anything like this. 
Earlier that day we had decided 

121
00:06:56,440 --> 00:06:59,920
to take my four Wheeler up the 
lake approximately 5 miles from 

122
00:06:59,920 --> 00:07:01,960
my house to a clearing and build
a fire. 

123
00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:04,760
We got to the clearing around 
9:30. 

124
00:07:05,280 --> 00:07:08,680
We kept hearing 2 owls hoot at 
each other from across the lake,

125
00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:11,280
and we both kept hearing 
something moving in the tree 

126
00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:13,440
line 60. 
Yards from our fire. 

127
00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:17,640
We quickly dismissed the 
footsteps as being a deer and as

128
00:07:17,640 --> 00:07:20,640
the night progressed the wind 
started to blow really hard. 

129
00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:25,080
At 11:00 PM the wind started to 
die down a little bit and I 

130
00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:27,280
noticed that the woods were 
totally silent. 

131
00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:31,120
The owls had stopped hooting and
the water wasn't white capped 

132
00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:34,040
anymore. 
Around midnight we decided to 

133
00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:37,120
leave and as we stood up we 
heard these sounds in the woods 

134
00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:40,520
like sticks breaking. 
We knew that if it was a deer we

135
00:07:40,520 --> 00:07:42,440
would have spooked it a long 
time ago. 

136
00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:47,040
I felt eyes on me and for some 
reason I had this random notion 

137
00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:50,400
to make a wood knock. 
I had seen the Finding Bigfoot 

138
00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:53,160
show and thought maybe I could 
get a response out of whatever 

139
00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:56,320
was in the woods. 
I picked up a piece of cedar 

140
00:07:56,320 --> 00:07:59,160
from the woodpile and knocked it
against a Cypress tree. 

141
00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:02,480
We waited for the echoes to 
clear and while I didn't hear 

142
00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:05,600
anything, Clay stood straight up
and started breathing heavy, 

143
00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:09,600
saying he heard a knock back. 
I thought he was joking, but 

144
00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:14,040
soon after I became a believer. 
I knocked again and this time I 

145
00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:16,080
heard three distinctive knocks 
back. 

146
00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:19,600
There's no way it could have 
been an echo, because the reply 

147
00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:21,600
came long after the echoes 
cleared. 

148
00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:24,920
I suddenly got scared. 
Like shaking. 

149
00:08:25,320 --> 00:08:27,760
I knocked again and let out a 
whooping call. 

150
00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:31,200
We got one distinctive knock 
back, and then we heard this 

151
00:08:31,200 --> 00:08:33,559
growl. 
This horrible growl. 

152
00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:36,720
It was guttural and yet somehow 
primate like. 

153
00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:40,440
It was like a monkey whooping 
and a deep snarl at the same 

154
00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:44,159
time, almost like whatever made 
it was using two sets of vocal 

155
00:08:44,159 --> 00:08:47,160
cords. 
We started getting freaked out, 

156
00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:50,520
but we really wanted to figure 
out what it was, so we jumped on

157
00:08:50,520 --> 00:08:52,760
my four Wheeler and rode toward 
the sound. 

158
00:08:53,360 --> 00:08:55,880
We stopped periodically but 
never heard anything. 

159
00:08:56,520 --> 00:08:59,520
What was strange was that we 
both felt strongly like 

160
00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:02,920
something was watching us. 
I mean, that feeling alone was 

161
00:09:02,920 --> 00:09:05,760
terrifying because it just felt 
like pure hatred. 

162
00:09:06,520 --> 00:09:09,320
We ended up riding back to my 
house without actually seeing 

163
00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:12,800
the creature, but whatever it 
was, it was angry that we were 

164
00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:15,280
there and it absolutely hated 
us. 

165
00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:22,320
True story, no joke whatsoever. 
This happened on February 25th, 

166
00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:27,400
2024, just outside Boone, NC, 
deep in the Appalachian 

167
00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:30,000
Mountains. 
I was checking my hunting 

168
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:33,800
cameras near a remote stretch of
Pisgah National Forest when I 

169
00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:36,440
saw something I still cannot 
fully explain. 

170
00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:41,000
Above 50 yards ahead, moving 
away from me was a massive man 

171
00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:43,880
like creature covered in thick 
reddish brown hair. 

172
00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:47,680
It stood at least 8 feet tall, 
its long arm swinging as it 

173
00:09:47,680 --> 00:09:50,280
walked. 
The hair on its body was tangled

174
00:09:50,280 --> 00:09:53,200
with sticks and leaves as if it 
had been pushing through dense 

175
00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:56,920
brush for a long time. 
The wind was blowing toward me, 

176
00:09:56,920 --> 00:10:01,320
carrying a strong, musky odour, 
like a mix of wet dog sweat and 

177
00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:03,960
old earth. 
It was a scent I never smelled 

178
00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:06,120
before, and it made my stomach 
turn. 

179
00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:08,920
I stood frozen, my heart 
pounding. 

180
00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:11,360
Then, without warning, the 
creature stopped. 

181
00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:14,920
It turned slightly, looked over 
its shoulder in my direction. 

182
00:10:15,560 --> 00:10:18,560
I don't know if it saw me or 
just sent something nearby, but 

183
00:10:18,560 --> 00:10:23,360
in that moment I felt true fear.
I had my rifle with me, but I 

184
00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:25,560
would never shoot at anything 
that wasn't game. 

185
00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:29,160
My hands tightened around the 
stalk, not out of aggression, 

186
00:10:29,280 --> 00:10:32,440
but out of instinct. 
I didn't know what it was, and I

187
00:10:32,440 --> 00:10:34,200
didn't want to find out the hard
way. 

188
00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:38,080
After a few seconds, though, it 
felt like much longer. 

189
00:10:38,160 --> 00:10:41,200
The creature turned back and 
kept walking, disappearing into 

190
00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:44,840
the trees like a ghost. 
I stood there for a long time, 

191
00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:49,240
listening, barely breathing. 
This wasn't my first encounter. 

192
00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:53,320
I had seen something similar 
back in 1985, in almost the same

193
00:10:53,320 --> 00:10:55,720
area for years. 
I told myself. 

194
00:10:55,720 --> 00:10:59,640
Maybe it was a trick of my eyes,
maybe just my imagination, but 

195
00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:02,480
after seeing it again, I know 
what I saw was real. 

196
00:11:04,560 --> 00:11:08,880
This happened on January 10th, 
2024 in a remote part of the 

197
00:11:08,880 --> 00:11:11,120
Washita National Forest, 
Arkansas. 

198
00:11:11,760 --> 00:11:14,840
I had gone out alone, searching 
for the site where my family had

199
00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:18,600
lived in the 1890s. 
All I knew was that it was near 

200
00:11:18,600 --> 00:11:21,120
a spring, but I didn't have an 
exact location. 

201
00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:24,240
I figured winter was the best 
time to look with the leaves 

202
00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:27,560
gone so the ruins or old 
structures would be easier to 

203
00:11:27,560 --> 00:11:30,720
spot. 
After a couple of hours hiking 

204
00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:34,160
through the woods, I came across
some rusted metal cans and other

205
00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:37,040
bits of junk likely left behind 
decades ago. 

206
00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:40,560
I dropped to 1 knee picking 
through the debris looking for 

207
00:11:40,560 --> 00:11:44,720
anything interesting, and that's
when I heard a sharp snap like a

208
00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:48,520
twig breaking nearby. 
I froze and looked up, saw 

209
00:11:48,520 --> 00:11:51,480
nothing. 
After a few seconds I shrugged 

210
00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:54,160
it off, assuming it was a 
squirrel or maybe just a branch 

211
00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:56,520
settling. 
I went back to my search, 

212
00:11:56,680 --> 00:12:01,000
brushing dirt off the old can. 
Then about 5 minutes later, I 

213
00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:04,960
felt a deep, unsettling feeling.
You know, the one where you just

214
00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:08,320
know you're being watched? 
My skin prickled, my breathing 

215
00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:11,000
slowed, and I felt an urge to 
look up again. 

216
00:12:11,400 --> 00:12:15,240
This time I did it slowly. 
And then I saw about 30 yards 

217
00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:19,240
away, half hidden behind a clump
of bushes, stood a massive 

218
00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:23,520
figure. 
It was huge, easily 7 1/2 to 8 

219
00:12:23,520 --> 00:12:25,960
feet tall with a broad, stocky 
build. 

220
00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:29,640
Its thick, reddish Gray hair 
blended with the winter 

221
00:12:29,640 --> 00:12:32,120
landscape, but its face was 
darker. 

222
00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:35,440
Almost black, the shape of its 
head was strange. 

223
00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:38,960
It was tapered almost like a 
gorilla with a slight cone shape

224
00:12:38,960 --> 00:12:42,120
to the top. 
For a long moment we just stared

225
00:12:42,120 --> 00:12:44,640
at each other. 
I was too shocked to move. 

226
00:12:45,240 --> 00:12:48,320
My mind raced, trying to make 
sense of what I was seeing. 

227
00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:50,880
It wasn't a bear. 
It wasn't a person. 

228
00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:55,160
Then, without a sound, it simply
turned around and walked away, 

229
00:12:55,400 --> 00:12:57,560
heading up a small rise toward 
the Creek. 

230
00:12:58,080 --> 00:13:00,440
Its movements were smooth and 
effortless. 

231
00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:03,680
It didn't run, didn't act. 
Aggressive just left. 

232
00:13:04,560 --> 00:13:07,520
I stood there for another minute
or two trying to process what 

233
00:13:07,520 --> 00:13:10,520
had just happened. 
Then without thinking, I turned 

234
00:13:10,520 --> 00:13:12,120
and walked straight back to my 
truck. 

235
00:13:12,920 --> 00:13:15,880
I never heard a sound as it 
moved and there was no smell. 

236
00:13:16,160 --> 00:13:19,760
Just silence. 
The day was completely still, 

237
00:13:19,760 --> 00:13:23,640
the air heavy, the woods quiet. 
It was like the world had paused

238
00:13:23,640 --> 00:13:27,160
for those few moments. 
I spent my whole life outdoors 

239
00:13:27,160 --> 00:13:30,000
and I never seen anything like 
this before or since. 

240
00:13:30,360 --> 00:13:32,880
But I know what I saw, and I'll 
never forget it. 

241
00:13:34,440 --> 00:13:39,720
On December 23rd, 2023 in 
Aristuc County, Maine, a severe 

242
00:13:39,720 --> 00:13:43,080
windstorm moved through the East
Coast knocking up power and 

243
00:13:43,080 --> 00:13:47,240
causing at least 4 deaths. 
Around 4:00 PM, power was lost 

244
00:13:47,240 --> 00:13:50,040
at Michelle's home. 
Michelle and her two daughters, 

245
00:13:50,160 --> 00:13:53,320
grandchildren, and a family 
friend were riding out the storm

246
00:13:53,320 --> 00:13:56,320
at home and entertaining the 
kids with shadow puppets. 

247
00:13:57,120 --> 00:14:00,120
Shortly after the power was 
lost, an object struck the 

248
00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:02,560
window. 
Michelle grabbed a flashlight 

249
00:14:02,560 --> 00:14:05,280
and held it flush against the 
window so she could see if a 

250
00:14:05,280 --> 00:14:07,400
branch had hit the house in the 
strong wind. 

251
00:14:07,920 --> 00:14:11,000
Once she laid back down, she 
heard a long whooping sound 

252
00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:13,960
followed by a growl in 
conjunction with the strong 

253
00:14:13,960 --> 00:14:16,360
winds. 
She got up, pointed the 

254
00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:19,600
flashlight flush with the glass 
again so it would illuminate 

255
00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:21,600
outside and not reflect back at 
her. 

256
00:14:22,240 --> 00:14:25,600
Looking towards her chicken 
coop, Michelle observed a giant 

257
00:14:25,600 --> 00:14:28,920
black figure on 2 legs 
silhouetted against the coop. 

258
00:14:29,440 --> 00:14:32,200
She was not able to observe 
facial features, but the 

259
00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:35,400
creature was looking toward the 
house, then turned and quickly 

260
00:14:35,400 --> 00:14:38,800
walked into the wood line. 
While this was occurring, 

261
00:14:38,880 --> 00:14:42,040
Stephen was upstairs in his 
bedroom listening to the wind. 

262
00:14:42,480 --> 00:14:45,400
He described hearing a drawn out
whoop above the wind. 

263
00:14:45,680 --> 00:14:48,560
It frightened him enough that he
did not get out of bed and 

264
00:14:48,560 --> 00:14:52,240
rolled over instead. 
This happened simultaneously 

265
00:14:52,240 --> 00:14:54,040
with what Michelle had 
described. 

266
00:14:55,760 --> 00:14:58,200
Michelle's two daughters were 
downstairs with her and their 

267
00:14:58,200 --> 00:15:01,800
children earlier that night. 
Unable to charge her phone, 

268
00:15:02,040 --> 00:15:05,160
Colby walked out to her car, 
turned it on, and plugged in her

269
00:15:05,160 --> 00:15:09,280
phone as she sat briefly. 
She had an uncomfortable feeling

270
00:15:09,280 --> 00:15:13,120
and headed back inside. 
After some time, she walked back

271
00:15:13,120 --> 00:15:15,280
outside to retrieve her phone 
from the car. 

272
00:15:15,880 --> 00:15:19,440
As she was walking back inside, 
she heard a howl and looked up 

273
00:15:19,600 --> 00:15:23,280
and saw a tall, black hulking 
figure standing in the doorway 

274
00:15:23,280 --> 00:15:26,320
to their chicken coop. 
Its head reached as high as the 

275
00:15:26,320 --> 00:15:30,480
gutters, making it approximately
8 to 8 1/2 feet tall. 

276
00:15:30,960 --> 00:15:33,280
It was 10 to 15 yards away from 
her. 

277
00:15:34,120 --> 00:15:37,320
She ran back inside, turned to 
her sister Amber and said 

278
00:15:37,520 --> 00:15:41,160
there's a giant outside, grabbed
her baby and went upstairs. 

279
00:15:42,040 --> 00:15:45,320
Similarly to Stephen, Amber had 
only heard the noise. 

280
00:15:45,800 --> 00:15:49,320
She recollects A whooping sound,
followed up by the dogs barking 

281
00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:52,560
considerably. 
Michelle is confident that it 

282
00:15:52,560 --> 00:15:55,680
was not a black bear. 
They had a sow in Cubs on their 

283
00:15:55,680 --> 00:15:59,400
property two years prior which 
they saw and heard frequently. 

284
00:15:59,760 --> 00:16:03,320
This was very unlike that on 
their farm. 

285
00:16:03,320 --> 00:16:06,400
They had started out with 30 
chickens and seven turkeys. 

286
00:16:06,920 --> 00:16:10,120
Over several months, they're 
down to 10 chickens and 1 

287
00:16:10,120 --> 00:16:12,640
Turkey. 
They've never seen bodies or 

288
00:16:12,640 --> 00:16:15,920
blood, only feathers on their 
property. 

289
00:16:15,960 --> 00:16:19,200
They also have apple trees and 
Raspberry bushes by the pond 

290
00:16:19,200 --> 00:16:22,000
near their home. 
They often throw dinner scraps 

291
00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:24,840
out the door and onto the grass 
for the cats and crows. 

292
00:16:25,400 --> 00:16:29,360
Between an abundance of natural 
treat foods, fruit, the small 

293
00:16:29,360 --> 00:16:32,920
birds, and frequent food scraps 
were likely an easy food source 

294
00:16:32,960 --> 00:16:35,040
for a Sasquatch to capitalize 
on. 

295
00:16:35,640 --> 00:16:38,800
With the lack of activity on the
property due to the storm, the 

296
00:16:38,800 --> 00:16:41,520
Sasquatch probably thought this 
would have been a safe time to 

297
00:16:41,520 --> 00:16:44,720
get a meal. 
It was likely surprised when it 

298
00:16:44,720 --> 00:16:47,720
encountered amber outside the 
house and retreated to the 

299
00:16:47,720 --> 00:16:52,680
forest to hide. 
Hancock County, Maine My sister 

300
00:16:52,680 --> 00:16:55,800
and I were driving to school 1 
morning a few years ago and 

301
00:16:55,800 --> 00:16:59,040
straight up ahead of us we both 
saw something standing there in 

302
00:16:59,040 --> 00:17:03,000
the road, on 2 feet for sure 
staring at us approaching. 

303
00:17:04,079 --> 00:17:06,680
As we approached we could tell 
that the creature was about the 

304
00:17:06,680 --> 00:17:10,920
size of a human, was covered in 
very dark shaggy hair, and it 

305
00:17:10,920 --> 00:17:14,480
was sort of hunched over with 
its arms hanging down quite far 

306
00:17:15,040 --> 00:17:17,760
as it just stood there about a 
foot or two into the road 

307
00:17:17,760 --> 00:17:20,240
watching us. 
And then almost as quickly as it

308
00:17:20,240 --> 00:17:23,839
happened, it vanished into the 
trees when we drove by. 

309
00:17:23,839 --> 00:17:27,160
I looked into the forest to see 
if I could see anything, but I 

310
00:17:27,160 --> 00:17:29,560
couldn't. 
We went to school and told a few

311
00:17:29,560 --> 00:17:32,120
friends and then told our 
parents later that night. 

312
00:17:32,720 --> 00:17:35,200
We didn't think to call the 
police or anything at the time, 

313
00:17:35,360 --> 00:17:39,840
although I wish we had also. 
I was driving with my dad in 

314
00:17:39,840 --> 00:17:43,040
Orrington, ME and as we passed 
the road I saw something 

315
00:17:43,040 --> 00:17:45,520
crossing it. 
I couldn't tell what it was 

316
00:17:45,520 --> 00:17:49,160
because we went by pretty quick 
but what I saw was very tall and

317
00:17:49,160 --> 00:17:52,000
dark. 
I made my dad turn around and we

318
00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:55,120
went up the road driving slowly,
looking into the woods along the

319
00:17:55,120 --> 00:17:58,240
sides of the road. 
We didn't see anything, so 

320
00:17:58,240 --> 00:18:01,840
whatever it was had vanished. 
But now, as I think back, 

321
00:18:01,840 --> 00:18:05,040
comparing that incident with the
other that I had in Bucksport, 

322
00:18:05,400 --> 00:18:08,600
what I saw in Orrington, 
although only for a second, 

323
00:18:08,720 --> 00:18:10,680
seemed very similar to each 
other. 

324
00:18:11,360 --> 00:18:14,400
I'm not saying that I know or 
even think it was a Bigfoot in 

325
00:18:14,400 --> 00:18:17,800
Orrington that day, but I do 
think that it certainly looked 

326
00:18:17,800 --> 00:18:21,040
like the one I did see. 
I didn't think much about the 

327
00:18:21,040 --> 00:18:24,120
incident and almost forgotten 
about it because I never had an 

328
00:18:24,120 --> 00:18:28,320
explanation for it and because I
was the only one who saw it, so 

329
00:18:28,320 --> 00:18:30,360
I had nobody else to discuss it 
with. 

330
00:18:33,120 --> 00:18:37,280
It was Halloween night in 1996 
in Murray County, Oklahoma. 

331
00:18:37,840 --> 00:18:40,760
I was taking my brother to the 
lake so he and his friends could

332
00:18:40,760 --> 00:18:44,320
sit and see if the stories of 
the lady of the lake were true. 

333
00:18:45,160 --> 00:18:47,560
I dropped him off and started 
back towards the house. 

334
00:18:48,040 --> 00:18:51,240
As I crossed a low water bridge,
I looked to the West down the 

335
00:18:51,240 --> 00:18:53,600
Creek and on the north bank I 
saw it. 

336
00:18:54,080 --> 00:18:56,840
At first I wrote it off as a 
Halloween prank. 

337
00:18:57,400 --> 00:19:00,760
There's no way I just saw a 
Bigfoot, especially not in 

338
00:19:00,760 --> 00:19:03,840
Oklahoma. 
So I turned the car around and 

339
00:19:03,840 --> 00:19:07,000
came back to the bridge. 
I parked the car sideways across

340
00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:09,680
the bridge, where my headlights 
were shining down the Creek. 

341
00:19:10,280 --> 00:19:13,400
The creature was squatted on the
balls of its feet with its hands

342
00:19:13,400 --> 00:19:16,720
in the water, possibly washing 
something, trying to catch a 

343
00:19:16,720 --> 00:19:19,040
fish, or simply trying to get a 
drink. 

344
00:19:19,800 --> 00:19:23,720
As I sat there amazed, the 
creature stood up to what was at

345
00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:27,880
least 7 1/2 feet tall. 
It never even looked at me, it 

346
00:19:27,880 --> 00:19:31,200
simply walked across the Creek, 
up the South Bank and into the 

347
00:19:31,200 --> 00:19:33,880
trees. 
I kept this secret for many 

348
00:19:33,880 --> 00:19:37,800
years, telling only my wife. 
The animal was approximately 7 

349
00:19:37,800 --> 00:19:41,120
1/2 feet tall, very broad in the
shoulders and narrow in the 

350
00:19:41,120 --> 00:19:43,280
hips. 
I would guess the weight to be 

351
00:19:43,280 --> 00:19:47,520
within the five to £600 range. 
It was dark coloured, probably 

352
00:19:47,520 --> 00:19:50,520
dark brown or black, I couldn't 
tell due to the lighting. 

353
00:19:50,960 --> 00:19:54,280
It was covered in hair, long on 
the head, and shorter as it went

354
00:19:54,280 --> 00:19:56,880
down. 
Since I only saw it from a 

355
00:19:56,880 --> 00:20:00,600
profile angle, I couldn't tell 
much about its facial features. 

356
00:20:01,240 --> 00:20:04,040
The head had a large Crest on 
it, similar to that of a 

357
00:20:04,040 --> 00:20:07,040
gorilla. 
The creature walked upright on 2

358
00:20:07,040 --> 00:20:11,640
legs the entire time. 
I didn't try to find any 

359
00:20:11,640 --> 00:20:14,680
evidence of the creature's 
presence at the time, just 

360
00:20:14,680 --> 00:20:16,600
seeing it was proof enough for 
me. 

361
00:20:19,160 --> 00:20:24,440
It was June 14th, 2024, just 
outside Lake Guntersville, AL. 

362
00:20:25,080 --> 00:20:27,240
The sun was low in the sky, but 
there was still. 

363
00:20:27,240 --> 00:20:30,040
Plenty of light. 
I was walking down a dirt road 

364
00:20:30,040 --> 00:20:33,040
near my grandparents house with 
my German Shepherd Ranger. 

365
00:20:33,600 --> 00:20:36,720
We took this walk all the time. 
Nothing out of the ordinary, 

366
00:20:36,840 --> 00:20:38,560
just a quiet evening in the 
woods. 

367
00:20:39,280 --> 00:20:42,280
We were about 1/2 mile down the 
road when Ranger suddenly 

368
00:20:42,280 --> 00:20:45,000
stopped. 
His ears shot up, his body 

369
00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:47,800
tensed, and then he started 
barking like crazy. 

370
00:20:48,040 --> 00:20:50,760
Deep aggressive barks. 
I've never heard from him 

371
00:20:50,760 --> 00:20:53,480
before. 
Then, just as suddenly, he 

372
00:20:53,480 --> 00:20:56,920
backed up and wedged himself 
between my legs, growling low 

373
00:20:56,920 --> 00:20:59,520
and steady. 
This wasn't like him at all. 

374
00:20:59,640 --> 00:21:01,360
Ranger wasn't scared of 
anything. 

375
00:21:02,320 --> 00:21:05,280
I reached down to calm him, 
running my hand along his back, 

376
00:21:05,840 --> 00:21:08,760
and that's when I heard grunting
and movement in the woods to my 

377
00:21:08,760 --> 00:21:11,240
right. 
It sounded heavy, like something

378
00:21:11,240 --> 00:21:13,160
big shifting around in the 
underbrush. 

379
00:21:13,760 --> 00:21:17,320
I figured it was just a deer, or
maybe a wild hog, so I took a 

380
00:21:17,320 --> 00:21:21,360
few cautious steps forward, and 
then, from behind a fallen tree,

381
00:21:21,520 --> 00:21:24,000
a massive figure rose to its 
full height. 

382
00:21:24,600 --> 00:21:28,960
My breath caught in my throat. 
It was huge, easily 8 feet tall,

383
00:21:28,960 --> 00:21:32,160
maybe taller, and covered in 
thick reddish brown hair. 

384
00:21:32,640 --> 00:21:36,600
Its body was broad and muscular,
like a linebacker, with long, 

385
00:21:36,600 --> 00:21:39,160
powerful arms that hung low at 
its sides. 

386
00:21:39,720 --> 00:21:42,000
But the face had me froze in 
place. 

387
00:21:42,240 --> 00:21:44,240
It wasn't a bear. 
It wasn't human. 

388
00:21:44,560 --> 00:21:47,960
It looked somewhere in between, 
almost like a monkey, but more 

389
00:21:47,960 --> 00:21:51,040
defined. 
Its eyes were dark and deep, set

390
00:21:51,120 --> 00:21:53,280
and locked onto mind for just a 
second. 

391
00:21:53,800 --> 00:21:56,960
The expression wasn't anger or 
aggression, it was something 

392
00:21:56,960 --> 00:21:59,880
else. 
Maybe curiosity or surprise, I 

393
00:21:59,880 --> 00:22:03,360
don't know, but I know that look
wasn't from any animal I'd ever 

394
00:22:03,360 --> 00:22:07,040
seen before. 
Then, in an instant, it turned 

395
00:22:07,040 --> 00:22:10,000
and ran. 
Ranger lunged forward, barking 

396
00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:14,120
like mad, and took off after it.
My instincts kicked in and I did

397
00:22:14,120 --> 00:22:17,800
the only thing that made sense. 
I turn and ran home as fast as I

398
00:22:17,800 --> 00:22:20,160
could. 
I burst through the door, 

399
00:22:20,160 --> 00:22:23,840
panting, my hands shaking. 
I didn't stop to explain to my 

400
00:22:23,840 --> 00:22:25,400
grandparents what had just 
happened. 

401
00:22:25,560 --> 00:22:27,320
I just locked the door and 
waited. 

402
00:22:28,440 --> 00:22:31,760
About 30 to 45 minutes later, 
Ranger came back. 

403
00:22:32,080 --> 00:22:34,680
He was panting hard, but 
completely unhurt. 

404
00:22:35,320 --> 00:22:38,160
He trotted up to the porch, 
looked back towards the woods, 

405
00:22:38,320 --> 00:22:40,920
then sat down beside me like 
nothing had happened. 

406
00:22:41,680 --> 00:22:43,560
This wasn't the last time I 
heard it. 

407
00:22:44,240 --> 00:22:46,920
Out here at night, you hear all 
kinds of sounds. 

408
00:22:47,320 --> 00:22:51,280
Coyotes yipping, owls hooting. 
But sometimes something else. 

409
00:22:51,640 --> 00:22:55,080
A low whomping sound, deep and 
hollow, like the call of a 

410
00:22:55,080 --> 00:22:58,520
howler monkey. 
I'd heard it before, but now I 

411
00:22:58,520 --> 00:23:01,920
knew what was making it. 
The strangest part? 

412
00:23:02,040 --> 00:23:04,720
Whenever that sound echoes 
through the woods, everything 

413
00:23:04,720 --> 00:23:08,520
else stops. 
No coyotes, no insects, no night

414
00:23:08,520 --> 00:23:11,080
birds. 
Just silence, like the whole 

415
00:23:11,080 --> 00:23:15,880
forest is holding its breath. 
It was late at night and I had 

416
00:23:15,880 --> 00:23:18,200
just gotten off work about 60 
miles away. 

417
00:23:18,680 --> 00:23:22,000
The drive home was usually quiet
and uneventful, just long 

418
00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:25,320
stretches of dark empty Rd. 
But that night was different. 

419
00:23:25,880 --> 00:23:29,400
As I neared the small bridge 
about 1/4 mile from my house, my

420
00:23:29,400 --> 00:23:31,520
headlights caught something on 
the side of the road. 

421
00:23:31,960 --> 00:23:34,920
At first I thought it was a 
person bent over, maybe picking 

422
00:23:34,920 --> 00:23:38,520
something up off the pavement. 
But as I got closer, my stomach 

423
00:23:38,520 --> 00:23:41,560
dropped. 
This thing, whatever it was, was

424
00:23:41,560 --> 00:23:43,920
huge. 
Even crouched down, it was 

425
00:23:43,920 --> 00:23:46,040
taller than any person I'd ever 
seen. 

426
00:23:46,520 --> 00:23:50,000
Its back was facing me, covered 
in long, straight brown hair 

427
00:23:50,080 --> 00:23:53,360
that hung down in clumps. 
The hair wasn't smooth like an 

428
00:23:53,360 --> 00:23:55,960
animal's fur. 
It was tangled and dirty, with 

429
00:23:55,960 --> 00:23:58,800
bits of sticks and leaves stuck 
in it, like it had been moving 

430
00:23:58,800 --> 00:24:01,400
through the woods. 
I gripped the steering wheel 

431
00:24:01,400 --> 00:24:05,040
tighter, my heart pounding. 
I'd always imagined Bigfoot, if 

432
00:24:05,040 --> 00:24:08,040
something like that even 
existed, to have thick black 

433
00:24:08,040 --> 00:24:10,200
hair. 
But this creature's hair was 

434
00:24:10,200 --> 00:24:12,600
brown, almost the colour of 
dried mud. 

435
00:24:13,840 --> 00:24:15,880
As I passed it, the smell hit 
me. 

436
00:24:16,040 --> 00:24:18,920
It was awful. 
I had the windows down and the 

437
00:24:18,920 --> 00:24:22,200
stench was so strong it felt 
like it coated the inside of my 

438
00:24:22,200 --> 00:24:25,160
nose and mouth. 
It was worse than roadkill, 

439
00:24:25,160 --> 00:24:28,280
worse than anything I could 
describe, like rotting meat 

440
00:24:28,360 --> 00:24:30,200
mixed with something, even 
Fowler. 

441
00:24:30,680 --> 00:24:32,800
My stomach turned and I nearly 
gagged. 

442
00:24:33,480 --> 00:24:35,640
I did not slow down to get a 
better look. 

443
00:24:35,920 --> 00:24:39,400
In fact, the moment I passed the
bridge I hit the gas and speed 

444
00:24:39,400 --> 00:24:42,480
the rest of the way home. 
My hands were shaking as I 

445
00:24:42,480 --> 00:24:45,840
pulled into the driveway. 
I jumped out, ran inside and 

446
00:24:45,840 --> 00:24:49,080
slammed the door behind me. 
My husband looked at me like I 

447
00:24:49,080 --> 00:24:51,600
was crazy when I blurted out 
what I had seen. 

448
00:24:52,160 --> 00:24:54,680
It was huge. 
I kept telling him I don't know 

449
00:24:54,680 --> 00:24:59,400
what it was, but it was huge. 
That bridge is barely 1/4 mile 

450
00:24:59,400 --> 00:25:02,360
from our house and now I can't 
shake the feeling that whatever 

451
00:25:02,360 --> 00:25:06,400
I saw is still out there. 
But looking back, maybe this 

452
00:25:06,400 --> 00:25:09,120
wasn't the first sign that 
something strange was going on. 

453
00:25:09,680 --> 00:25:12,840
About a week and a half before 
the sighting, we started hearing

454
00:25:12,840 --> 00:25:16,040
a weird noise late at night. 
It was a scream. 

455
00:25:16,080 --> 00:25:17,800
That's the only way I can 
describe it. 

456
00:25:18,240 --> 00:25:21,040
It wasn't the sound of a coyote 
or any of our animals. 

457
00:25:21,200 --> 00:25:24,680
It was different. 
It was deep, guttural, and had a

458
00:25:24,680 --> 00:25:28,080
strange high pitched edge to it.
It would come from the woods 

459
00:25:28,080 --> 00:25:30,360
behind our house, echoing 
through the night. 

460
00:25:30,960 --> 00:25:32,640
We heard it for three nights 
straight. 

461
00:25:32,760 --> 00:25:36,560
Then suddenly it stopped. 
The very next day, we found a 

462
00:25:36,560 --> 00:25:40,720
baby goat in those same woods. 
The thing was tiny, barely old 

463
00:25:40,720 --> 00:25:43,880
enough to stand with its 
umbilical cord still dragging on

464
00:25:43,880 --> 00:25:46,080
the ground. 
There was no mother goat 

465
00:25:46,080 --> 00:25:48,880
anywhere. 
We searched calling out, but 

466
00:25:48,880 --> 00:25:51,920
there was no sign of her. 
The poor thing was terrified. 

467
00:25:52,160 --> 00:25:55,600
He didn't cry, didn't make a 
sound, just stood there frozen, 

468
00:25:55,800 --> 00:25:59,360
eyes wide with fear. 
It took us hours to catch him. 

469
00:25:59,680 --> 00:26:03,080
Now he finally bleats, but the 
sound he makes is nothing like 

470
00:26:03,080 --> 00:26:05,560
that awful scream we heard 
before we found him. 

471
00:26:06,560 --> 00:26:09,040
Lately, more strange things have
been happening. 

472
00:26:09,560 --> 00:26:12,760
Over the past month, we've lost 
four baby kittens. 

473
00:26:13,320 --> 00:26:16,760
One day they were there, playful
and healthy, and the next they 

474
00:26:16,760 --> 00:26:19,600
were just gone. 
I know we live way out in the 

475
00:26:19,600 --> 00:26:22,480
country and plenty of things 
could have carried them off like

476
00:26:22,480 --> 00:26:26,680
coyotes, Hawks, even a fox, but 
something about it feels off. 

477
00:26:27,680 --> 00:26:30,520
I don't know what I saw on that 
bridge, and I don't know if any 

478
00:26:30,520 --> 00:26:33,920
of these things are connected, 
but ever since that night, I 

479
00:26:33,920 --> 00:26:36,480
haven't felt safe. 
And I don't like coming home 

480
00:26:36,480 --> 00:26:39,400
after dark anymore. 
And I can't shake the feeling 

481
00:26:39,400 --> 00:26:44,160
that something is watching. 
It was around 8:00 PM and my two

482
00:26:44,160 --> 00:26:47,320
sons and I were sitting in the 
living room watching TV and 

483
00:26:47,320 --> 00:26:50,840
eating popcorn. 
My oldest, who's 16, was on the 

484
00:26:50,840 --> 00:26:54,680
love seat across the room while 
my youngest, who's 8, sat next 

485
00:26:54,680 --> 00:26:57,600
to me on the couch. 
We had a bowl of popcorn between

486
00:26:57,600 --> 00:27:00,080
us. 
Suddenly, I smelled something 

487
00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:02,080
awful coming from the window 
behind us. 

488
00:27:02,440 --> 00:27:05,400
My family always jokes that I 
have a nose like a Bloodhound, 

489
00:27:05,600 --> 00:27:08,920
so my oldest just laughed and 
said Mum, you're always smelling

490
00:27:08,920 --> 00:27:11,560
something. 
At first I thought maybe I was 

491
00:27:11,560 --> 00:27:14,280
imagining it. 
The smell faded and we went back

492
00:27:14,280 --> 00:27:17,240
to watching TV. 
But a few minutes later the 

493
00:27:17,240 --> 00:27:20,120
horrible stench came back even 
stronger. 

494
00:27:20,720 --> 00:27:23,640
I jumped up, convinced something
had crawled under the couch and 

495
00:27:23,640 --> 00:27:26,120
died. 
I told my oldest to help me move

496
00:27:26,120 --> 00:27:29,800
the sofa so we could check. 
As he got closer, he wrinkled 

497
00:27:29,800 --> 00:27:32,200
his nose and said, uh, it's a 
snake. 

498
00:27:32,880 --> 00:27:35,720
My youngest backed away while we
pulled the couch out and checked

499
00:27:35,720 --> 00:27:37,720
everywhere, but we found 
nothing. 

500
00:27:38,080 --> 00:27:39,760
Then we noticed the curtain 
moving. 

501
00:27:40,200 --> 00:27:42,960
The breeze had been carrying the
smell in from outside. 

502
00:27:43,400 --> 00:27:46,080
Whatever it was, we figured we'd
check it in the morning. 

503
00:27:47,040 --> 00:27:50,080
About an hour later, my 16 year 
old went outside. 

504
00:27:50,320 --> 00:27:52,680
He came back in fast and grabbed
the shotgun. 

505
00:27:53,080 --> 00:27:56,320
His dad had been taking him 
hunting since he was 6, so he 

506
00:27:56,320 --> 00:27:59,440
knew how to handle a gun. 
There's something out back, he 

507
00:27:59,440 --> 00:28:02,840
said, standing by the railroad 
tie post, just watching the 

508
00:28:02,840 --> 00:28:04,640
house. 
And it's a big guy. 

509
00:28:05,560 --> 00:28:07,760
He took the gun and walked 
toward the chicken pen. 

510
00:28:07,920 --> 00:28:11,040
I watched as he disappeared into
the darkness, and then I heard 

511
00:28:11,040 --> 00:28:13,120
him yell from way back out near 
the pen. 

512
00:28:13,280 --> 00:28:16,120
Call the cops. 
My stomach did a flip. 

513
00:28:16,240 --> 00:28:18,640
I didn't know what was 
happening, but I was terrified 

514
00:28:18,640 --> 00:28:20,520
for my son. 
I called the sheriff 

515
00:28:20,520 --> 00:28:23,880
immediately. 
After about 10 minutes, my son 

516
00:28:23,880 --> 00:28:26,840
came back inside. 
He was shaken but said the man 

517
00:28:26,840 --> 00:28:30,040
had stepped right over a barbed 
wire fence and jumped over a 

518
00:28:30,040 --> 00:28:33,760
brush pile like it was nothing. 
He didn't have to use the gun, 

519
00:28:33,880 --> 00:28:36,600
but whatever he saw was fast and
strong. 

520
00:28:37,520 --> 00:28:39,920
The two sheriff's deputies 
showed up and shined their 

521
00:28:39,920 --> 00:28:42,960
flashlights all over the yard 
and surrounding woods, but they 

522
00:28:42,960 --> 00:28:45,760
found nothing. 
My son decided to go to his 

523
00:28:45,760 --> 00:28:49,280
grandmother's house about 40 
yards away to let her know we 

524
00:28:49,280 --> 00:28:52,960
had a prowler. 
About 20 minutes after he left, 

525
00:28:53,120 --> 00:28:56,120
I heard the metal latch on our 
outdoor storage building click. 

526
00:28:56,520 --> 00:28:59,320
That building was my laundry 
room where I kept the washer, 

527
00:28:59,320 --> 00:29:02,320
dryer and deep freeze. 
My youngest and I were in the 

528
00:29:02,320 --> 00:29:04,640
house alone. 
I knew my oldest wouldn't be 

529
00:29:04,640 --> 00:29:08,160
messing around, not after what 
had just happened and my husband

530
00:29:08,160 --> 00:29:10,200
was out of town working on a gas
rig. 

531
00:29:10,720 --> 00:29:13,040
That meant someone else had 
opened that latch. 

532
00:29:13,680 --> 00:29:16,120
I grabbed the phone and called 
my mother in law's house. 

533
00:29:16,400 --> 00:29:18,680
When my son answered, I asked. 
Have you been? 

534
00:29:18,680 --> 00:29:21,000
There the whole time he said 
yes. 

535
00:29:21,560 --> 00:29:24,200
My heart pounded. 
I told them someone had just 

536
00:29:24,200 --> 00:29:27,880
gone into the laundry room and 
as far as I knew they hadn't 

537
00:29:27,880 --> 00:29:30,640
left. 
He said he'd be home in 2 

538
00:29:30,640 --> 00:29:33,600
minutes. 
I stood frozen staring at the 

539
00:29:33,600 --> 00:29:35,840
window. 
When he got back, we were trying

540
00:29:35,840 --> 00:29:38,320
to figure out what to do when he
suddenly shouted. 

541
00:29:38,600 --> 00:29:41,920
What the F is that? 
My youngest screamed and ran 

542
00:29:41,920 --> 00:29:45,200
into the kitchen. 
I spun around just in time to 

543
00:29:45,200 --> 00:29:48,080
see something in the big picture
window behind the sofa. 

544
00:29:48,520 --> 00:29:52,080
My son's face was pale, it was 
dirty and hairy. 

545
00:29:52,160 --> 00:29:54,760
He whispered. 
I grabbed the phone and called 

546
00:29:54,760 --> 00:29:57,480
the sheriff again while my son 
grabbed the shotgun. 

547
00:29:58,000 --> 00:30:00,520
My youngest and I sat on the 
floor with the lights off, 

548
00:30:00,560 --> 00:30:03,680
hiding behind my oldest. 
My hands were shaking. 

549
00:30:03,960 --> 00:30:07,120
I fully expected some crazy man 
to come crashing through the 

550
00:30:07,120 --> 00:30:10,720
window at any moment. 
Then the smell came back. 

551
00:30:11,000 --> 00:30:14,360
It was right outside the window.
That's when it hit me. 

552
00:30:14,560 --> 00:30:18,320
The smell was coming from 
whoever or whatever this was. 

553
00:30:18,920 --> 00:30:22,960
A chill ran down my spine. 
The deputies arrived a second 

554
00:30:22,960 --> 00:30:25,560
time, searched again, and again 
found nothing. 

555
00:30:26,520 --> 00:30:30,360
For years I just assumed it was 
some deranged drifter or someone

556
00:30:30,360 --> 00:30:32,320
high on drugs lurking in the 
woods. 

557
00:30:33,080 --> 00:30:35,760
My husband had found signs 
before that someone had been out

558
00:30:35,760 --> 00:30:37,480
there. 
But the more I read about 

559
00:30:37,480 --> 00:30:39,920
Bigfoot sightings, the more it 
all made sense. 

560
00:30:40,440 --> 00:30:43,720
The smell, the size, the way it 
moved, none of it matched a 

561
00:30:43,720 --> 00:30:47,440
normal person. 
Not long after that, I was 

562
00:30:47,440 --> 00:30:49,600
walking back from the chicken 
pen one evening. 

563
00:30:49,800 --> 00:30:52,000
When the hairs on the back of my
neck stood up. 

564
00:30:52,400 --> 00:30:54,040
I knew something was watching 
me. 

565
00:30:54,440 --> 00:30:57,800
I forced myself to walk 
casually, went inside and locked

566
00:30:57,800 --> 00:31:00,440
the door. 
Another time, I heard the 

567
00:31:00,440 --> 00:31:03,040
doorknob rattle. 
It would have opened if it 

568
00:31:03,040 --> 00:31:06,560
hadn't been locked. 
Our neighbors have heard strange

569
00:31:06,560 --> 00:31:08,840
screams and howls coming from 
the woods at night. 

570
00:31:09,320 --> 00:31:11,960
My son and one of his friends 
have had their own weird 

571
00:31:11,960 --> 00:31:14,960
encounters. 
Even my grandson swears he saw a

572
00:31:14,960 --> 00:31:17,400
Bigfoot about 13 miles east of 
us. 

573
00:31:18,680 --> 00:31:22,000
I don't know what exactly we saw
that night, but I do know this. 

574
00:31:22,040 --> 00:31:24,280
Whatever it was, it wasn't 
normal. 

575
00:31:26,000 --> 00:31:29,800
It was a warm summer evening in 
1982 and we were walking along a

576
00:31:29,800 --> 00:31:33,200
quiet dirt Rd. in the 
countryside of northern Montana.

577
00:31:33,760 --> 00:31:36,600
The sun was setting, we were 
just enjoying the fresh air and 

578
00:31:36,600 --> 00:31:39,600
talking about what we wanted to 
do the next day when one of us 

579
00:31:39,600 --> 00:31:41,480
suddenly stopped. 
Do you see? 

580
00:31:41,480 --> 00:31:44,960
That we all turned to look just 
beyond the fence line in the 

581
00:31:44,960 --> 00:31:47,680
open pasture to the north. 
Something was moving. 

582
00:31:48,120 --> 00:31:50,720
At first we thought it might be 
a cow or a deer. 

583
00:31:50,960 --> 00:31:53,920
But as it stepped into a 
clearing, we knew right away it 

584
00:31:53,920 --> 00:31:57,040
was neither. 
It stood nearly 7 feet tall, 

585
00:31:57,160 --> 00:32:00,800
covered in long white hair that 
hung down past its shoulders. 

586
00:32:01,280 --> 00:32:05,040
It walked on 2 legs, just like a
person, and it had long arms 

587
00:32:05,040 --> 00:32:07,560
that swung as it took slow, 
steady steps. 

588
00:32:08,640 --> 00:32:12,600
It hadn't noticed us at first, 
but when it did, it stopped, and

589
00:32:12,600 --> 00:32:15,880
for a few long seconds we just 
stood there, frozen in place. 

590
00:32:16,200 --> 00:32:19,520
None of us could move. 
Then the creature shifted, 

591
00:32:19,680 --> 00:32:22,800
almost like it was going to come
toward us, and that was enough 

592
00:32:22,800 --> 00:32:24,880
to snap us out of it. 
And we ran. 

593
00:32:25,880 --> 00:32:28,680
After a short distance, we 
stopped to catch our breath and 

594
00:32:28,680 --> 00:32:31,240
looked back. 
The creature was still walking, 

595
00:32:31,240 --> 00:32:33,880
moving E. 
Then, right in front of our 

596
00:32:33,880 --> 00:32:37,280
eyes, it stepped over a barbed 
wire fence like it was nothing. 

597
00:32:37,640 --> 00:32:41,280
And that fence was at least 5 
feet tall, but it barely slowed 

598
00:32:41,280 --> 00:32:43,840
down. 
It disappeared into the trees, 

599
00:32:43,880 --> 00:32:48,160
walking with long strides. 
A few days later, we went back 

600
00:32:48,160 --> 00:32:49,720
to the spot where we had seen 
it. 

601
00:32:50,040 --> 00:32:53,640
That's when we noticed long 
strands of white hair caught on 

602
00:32:53,640 --> 00:32:57,040
the top wire of the fence. 
We took a few pieces home as 

603
00:32:57,040 --> 00:32:59,440
proof. 
We told everyone what we saw, 

604
00:32:59,680 --> 00:33:03,600
but most people just laughed. 
Still, after that night, we were

605
00:33:03,600 --> 00:33:06,000
more careful. 
We always made sure to be home 

606
00:33:06,000 --> 00:33:09,520
before dark. 
We had heard stories before, but

607
00:33:09,520 --> 00:33:11,880
we never believed them. 
Not until that night. 

608
00:33:14,200 --> 00:33:17,760
Also, I was about 10 years old 
when I had my own encounter, 

609
00:33:18,000 --> 00:33:19,680
though I didn't know it at the 
time. 

610
00:33:20,120 --> 00:33:23,120
Our family lived near the base 
of a mountain surrounded by 

611
00:33:23,120 --> 00:33:26,000
thick woods with a Creek. 
It was my favorite place to 

612
00:33:26,000 --> 00:33:29,040
explore. 
One afternoon I decided to have 

613
00:33:29,040 --> 00:33:31,960
a picnic by a little pool of 
water surrounded by trees. 

614
00:33:32,360 --> 00:33:35,360
I packed a peanut butter and 
Jelly sandwich and some kool-aid

615
00:33:35,400 --> 00:33:38,120
and headed out. 
The only sounds I heard were 

616
00:33:38,120 --> 00:33:40,960
birds and the rustling leaves, 
and it was peaceful. 

617
00:33:41,680 --> 00:33:43,560
I just sat down when I heard 
something. 

618
00:33:43,640 --> 00:33:47,240
Footsteps, slow and steady 
coming from the trees behind me.

619
00:33:47,640 --> 00:33:50,360
At first I thought maybe it was 
a deer, but the longer I 

620
00:33:50,360 --> 00:33:53,320
listened the more I realized 
these weren't the sounds of an 

621
00:33:53,320 --> 00:33:57,640
animal walking on four legs. 
This was something on 2A. 

622
00:33:57,640 --> 00:34:00,760
Strange smell filled the air. 
It's hard to describe, but it 

623
00:34:00,760 --> 00:34:04,560
was strong and musky, like wet 
fur mixed with something rotten.

624
00:34:05,000 --> 00:34:08,280
The hair on my arm stood up. 
I didn't want to see what it 

625
00:34:08,280 --> 00:34:10,360
was. 
I jumped up, leaving my lunch 

626
00:34:10,360 --> 00:34:13,400
behind, and ran as fast as I 
could back to the house. 

627
00:34:13,920 --> 00:34:17,639
As I ran, I could still hear the
footsteps behind me, but I never

628
00:34:17,639 --> 00:34:20,840
looked back. 
A few days later, I got brave 

629
00:34:20,840 --> 00:34:22,400
enough to go back with my 
friend. 

630
00:34:22,960 --> 00:34:26,120
My jar of kool-aid was shattered
and my sandwich bag was ripped 

631
00:34:26,120 --> 00:34:28,199
apart like something I'd clawed 
through it. 

632
00:34:29,120 --> 00:34:32,120
After that, my dad told me 
stories of strange things he had

633
00:34:32,120 --> 00:34:34,719
seen while ocoon hunting when he
was younger. 

634
00:34:35,239 --> 00:34:37,320
He always said the woods held 
secrets. 

635
00:34:37,600 --> 00:34:40,760
Now I believe him. 
Whatever I heard that day, it 

636
00:34:40,760 --> 00:34:44,040
wasn't a bear and it wasn't a 
person, and I never went into 

637
00:34:44,040 --> 00:34:49,080
those woods alone again. 
This happened about 7 years ago 

638
00:34:49,080 --> 00:34:52,520
in a small town in northern 
Minnesota near the Rainy River. 

639
00:34:53,080 --> 00:34:56,280
I was about 12 years old, the 
same age as my cousin who was 

640
00:34:56,280 --> 00:34:59,000
with me that day. 
It was the middle of winter, 

641
00:34:59,080 --> 00:35:01,680
sometime in late January or 
early February. 

642
00:35:02,120 --> 00:35:05,360
The air was cold, but it wasn't 
too bad and fresh snow covered 

643
00:35:05,360 --> 00:35:08,480
the ground. 
We were at my cousin's house and

644
00:35:08,480 --> 00:35:11,360
since it was a nice day, we 
decided to take a walk on the 

645
00:35:11,360 --> 00:35:14,360
trails behind her house. 
These trails LED through the 

646
00:35:14,360 --> 00:35:18,400
woods and down toward the river.
We walked about halfway when we 

647
00:35:18,400 --> 00:35:20,920
reached a clearing. 
On one side there were thick 

648
00:35:20,920 --> 00:35:23,440
trees and on the other side a 
frozen swamp. 

649
00:35:24,080 --> 00:35:26,920
It was quiet except for the 
crunch of our boots on the snow.

650
00:35:27,760 --> 00:35:30,440
Then, out of nowhere, we heard 
something crashing through the 

651
00:35:30,440 --> 00:35:32,480
trees. 
It was fast. 

652
00:35:32,800 --> 00:35:36,040
We stopped in our tracks and 
turned our heads just in time to

653
00:35:36,040 --> 00:35:38,520
see something run across the 
path in front of us. 

654
00:35:39,160 --> 00:35:43,320
It was huge, at least 6 or 7 
feet tall, covered in thick 

655
00:35:43,320 --> 00:35:47,160
greyish white hair, not the dark
brown color we'd always imagined

656
00:35:47,160 --> 00:35:50,480
Bigfoot to be. 
It moved quickly, almost like a 

657
00:35:50,480 --> 00:35:54,640
person, but bigger and stronger.
The only sound it made was a 

658
00:35:54,640 --> 00:35:58,720
deep, low growl, not like a dog,
but something deeper, almost 

659
00:35:58,720 --> 00:36:02,200
like it came from its chest. 
We didn't stick around to get a 

660
00:36:02,200 --> 00:36:04,880
better look. 
Terror took over and we ran as 

661
00:36:04,880 --> 00:36:06,640
fast as we could back to the 
house. 

662
00:36:07,200 --> 00:36:10,000
Of course, when we told our 
family, no one believed us. 

663
00:36:10,320 --> 00:36:13,640
They laughed and said it was 
probably a deer or a coyote, but

664
00:36:13,640 --> 00:36:17,280
we knew what we saw. 
A couple of years later, I was 

665
00:36:17,280 --> 00:36:18,840
telling a friend about what 
happened. 

666
00:36:19,120 --> 00:36:22,480
He was curious, so we decided to
go back to the same place. 

667
00:36:23,200 --> 00:36:26,000
We parked the car near the 
trailhead and started walking 

668
00:36:26,000 --> 00:36:29,040
toward the clearing. 
The air was still and everything

669
00:36:29,040 --> 00:36:32,640
felt normal until we got closer.
And that's when we heard it. 

670
00:36:32,960 --> 00:36:35,000
Something running through the 
frozen swamp. 

671
00:36:35,440 --> 00:36:37,720
Heavy footsteps, fast and 
strong. 

672
00:36:38,120 --> 00:36:40,680
But just as suddenly as they 
started, they stopped. 

673
00:36:41,200 --> 00:36:45,120
A terrible smell filled the air.
It was overpowering, like rotten

674
00:36:45,120 --> 00:36:48,560
meat mixed with wet dog and made
our stomachs turn. 

675
00:36:49,320 --> 00:36:52,560
We decided to leave, but as we 
walked back toward the car, we 

676
00:36:52,560 --> 00:36:54,800
couldn't shake the feeling that 
we were being watched. 

677
00:36:55,320 --> 00:36:57,760
And every so often we would stop
and listen, but there was 

678
00:36:57,760 --> 00:37:00,640
nothing, just the silence of the
winter woods. 

679
00:37:01,160 --> 00:37:04,320
Still, the hairs on our necks 
stood up and we hurried back. 

680
00:37:05,960 --> 00:37:09,280
Hey everyone, I just want to 
remind you that my written books

681
00:37:09,280 --> 00:37:12,720
and audiobooks are available and
the links are all in the 

682
00:37:12,720 --> 00:37:15,680
description below. 
If you enjoyed these stories and

683
00:37:15,680 --> 00:37:19,240
want to help support the show, 
picking up a copy really helps 

684
00:37:19,360 --> 00:37:25,960
and is greatly appreciated. 
Thank you. 831 Morning Pat 

685
00:37:25,960 --> 00:37:29,720
Lindquist, driver of a Pacific 
Stage Lines bus, stopped at a 

686
00:37:29,720 --> 00:37:32,040
crossroads to permit a young man
to board. 

687
00:37:32,480 --> 00:37:35,320
Then he set his vehicle in 
motion and proceeded along the 

688
00:37:35,320 --> 00:37:39,280
low heat highway toward Mission,
BC Driving conditions were 

689
00:37:39,280 --> 00:37:41,480
excellent. 
Early morning mist had 

690
00:37:41,480 --> 00:37:43,360
evaporated in the warming 
sunshine. 

691
00:37:43,360 --> 00:37:45,720
He had a long clearview of the 
road ahead. 

692
00:37:46,440 --> 00:37:49,920
Suddenly, no more than an eighth
of a mile ahead, Lindquist was 

693
00:37:49,920 --> 00:37:53,160
startled to see a huge, hairy 
beast emerge from the forest. 

694
00:37:53,640 --> 00:37:56,680
It paused briefly at the edge of
the highway and then, walking 

695
00:37:56,680 --> 00:37:59,720
upright on long, hairy legs, 
strode across. 

696
00:38:00,400 --> 00:38:03,520
Even as Lindquist slowed down, 
he realized the creature was 

697
00:38:03,520 --> 00:38:06,240
neither a deer nor a lumbering 
bear that were glimpsed 

698
00:38:06,240 --> 00:38:08,920
occasionally along the more 
lonely sections of his run. 

699
00:38:09,600 --> 00:38:12,600
This creature appeared to be 
about 7 feet tall and walked as 

700
00:38:12,600 --> 00:38:14,560
a man would with a swinging 
stride. 

701
00:38:15,400 --> 00:38:18,000
He shouted to his half dozen 
passengers to look at the 

702
00:38:18,000 --> 00:38:21,080
Sasquatch. 
Everyone on the bus was familiar

703
00:38:21,080 --> 00:38:24,040
with the Sasquatch. 
For many years, tales about a 

704
00:38:24,040 --> 00:38:27,560
real or imagined wild man of the
woods or timber giant had 

705
00:38:27,560 --> 00:38:30,360
appeared in British Columbia 
newspapers and magazines. 

706
00:38:30,920 --> 00:38:34,120
The word Sasquatch was instantly
recognized by young and old. 

707
00:38:34,760 --> 00:38:37,040
Thus the passenger strained to 
see the creature. 

708
00:38:37,360 --> 00:38:40,440
Lindquist braked to a stop and 
bolted out the door in pursuit. 

709
00:38:41,000 --> 00:38:43,640
He ran down the rocky shoulder 
of the highway and across a 

710
00:38:43,640 --> 00:38:47,000
shallow, dry Creek bed. 
There, he claimed, he noticed an

711
00:38:47,000 --> 00:38:50,520
overpowering stench. 
Next he found five large 

712
00:38:50,520 --> 00:38:53,800
footprints deeply embedded in 
the coarse sand and gravel. 

713
00:38:54,280 --> 00:38:57,920
Hurrying on, he plunged into the
dense brush and timber lining 

714
00:38:57,920 --> 00:39:01,200
the far Creek bank. 
Moments later, in the shadowy 

715
00:39:01,200 --> 00:39:04,720
forest, he saw the creature. 
It was no more than 30 feet 

716
00:39:04,720 --> 00:39:07,840
ahead of him. 
He guessed it must weigh £300 or

717
00:39:07,840 --> 00:39:10,880
more. 
It had flaring nostrils and red 

718
00:39:10,880 --> 00:39:13,280
squinting eyes and was breathing
heavily. 

719
00:39:14,120 --> 00:39:17,400
The Sasquatch speed out of sight
in One Direction and linquist in

720
00:39:17,400 --> 00:39:19,680
the other. 
He raced back to the road and 

721
00:39:19,680 --> 00:39:21,440
described the beast to his 
passengers. 

722
00:39:21,800 --> 00:39:24,320
None were the least bit 
interested in pursuing it. 

723
00:39:24,640 --> 00:39:27,440
However, they did examine the 
large barefooted tracks in the 

724
00:39:27,440 --> 00:39:30,360
Creek bed. 
A search of the immediate area 

725
00:39:30,360 --> 00:39:32,880
revealed no others, but this was
understandable. 

726
00:39:33,160 --> 00:39:35,800
The highway was paved and the 
shoulder formed, of course, 

727
00:39:35,800 --> 00:39:38,360
rock. 
Only in a small sandbar was 

728
00:39:38,360 --> 00:39:40,080
there evidence of the creature's
passing. 

729
00:39:40,800 --> 00:39:44,000
As much as the driver wanted to 
stay, he knew he must continue 

730
00:39:44,000 --> 00:39:45,320
on his schedule. 
He. 

731
00:39:45,320 --> 00:39:47,320
Herded the passengers back onto 
the bus. 

732
00:39:47,600 --> 00:39:50,160
And drove on to the nearest 
roadside telephone booth. 

733
00:39:50,800 --> 00:39:53,760
After reporting the happening to
the police, he proceeded on to 

734
00:39:53,760 --> 00:39:55,920
mission. 
There, police officers 

735
00:39:55,920 --> 00:39:57,840
questioned the passengers about 
the happening. 

736
00:39:58,360 --> 00:40:01,120
The young man who had boarded 
shortly before the sighting left

737
00:40:01,120 --> 00:40:03,720
with friends. 
Since the driver was running 

738
00:40:03,720 --> 00:40:09,840
late, he departed immediately. 
Hi Lynne, About two years ago I 

739
00:40:09,840 --> 00:40:13,000
finally got the courage to tell 
a Bigfoot researcher in Ohio my 

740
00:40:13,000 --> 00:40:16,680
story from many, many years ago.
I don't remember his name. 

741
00:40:16,800 --> 00:40:19,920
I lost contact with him when my 
computer got hit by a power 

742
00:40:19,920 --> 00:40:22,080
surge and all the info was wiped
out. 

743
00:40:22,960 --> 00:40:26,720
Anyway, in 1976, I was almost 13
years old. 

744
00:40:27,000 --> 00:40:29,320
My family and I were camping at 
at Woodlake. 

745
00:40:29,800 --> 00:40:32,760
My favorite thing to do was get 
on my bike or walk in the woods 

746
00:40:32,760 --> 00:40:36,560
collecting butterflies and bugs.
One day, I guess it was still 

747
00:40:36,560 --> 00:40:39,640
before noon, I wandered up a 
hill by the cabins that were for

748
00:40:39,640 --> 00:40:43,160
rent at the edge of the lake. 
It was a little far even for me,

749
00:40:43,280 --> 00:40:45,160
but I was sure I'd find new bugs
there. 

750
00:40:45,760 --> 00:40:48,480
I left my bike at the bottom of 
the hill and walked the path, 

751
00:40:48,480 --> 00:40:52,000
swishing my net. 
About halfway up the path I 

752
00:40:52,000 --> 00:40:54,800
smelt something that was just 
like grass mould, like when you 

753
00:40:54,800 --> 00:40:56,480
cut the grass and leave it to 
rot. 

754
00:40:56,800 --> 00:40:59,600
Very musty. 
I don't remember exactly what 

755
00:40:59,600 --> 00:41:02,880
made me look up, but straight up
the hill on the left hand side, 

756
00:41:02,880 --> 00:41:05,680
just off this path was this huge
thing. 

757
00:41:06,040 --> 00:41:09,960
It stood upright like a man, but
had longer dark hair and a face 

758
00:41:09,960 --> 00:41:13,400
sort of small looking from the 
hair and a slightly pointed head

759
00:41:13,400 --> 00:41:16,520
towards the back. 
It looked in my direction and I 

760
00:41:16,520 --> 00:41:19,360
froze. 
I remember gasping and ran down 

761
00:41:19,360 --> 00:41:21,520
the hill thinking it was surely 
chasing me. 

762
00:41:22,120 --> 00:41:25,120
I don't know if it did, but if 
it had decided to come after me,

763
00:41:25,320 --> 00:41:28,320
it could have easily come down 
the hill where I rode my bicycle

764
00:41:28,320 --> 00:41:31,480
and caught me. 
I raced back to the campsite but

765
00:41:31,480 --> 00:41:34,440
didn't tell my parents or 
cousins for fear they'd never 

766
00:41:34,440 --> 00:41:36,280
allow me to go off by myself 
again. 

767
00:41:36,920 --> 00:41:40,280
Oddly enough, I didn't go past 
the field's edge and stayed very

768
00:41:40,280 --> 00:41:44,120
close to camp after that. 
I know what I saw so many years 

769
00:41:44,120 --> 00:41:46,160
ago. 
It's something you don't forget.

770
00:41:46,640 --> 00:41:48,880
I know what I saw and smelled 
was real. 

771
00:41:49,640 --> 00:41:52,800
A few years later, when I was 
17, a friend of mine decided to 

772
00:41:52,800 --> 00:41:56,000
camp out in the woods on his 
father's farm in Sugar Creek. 

773
00:41:56,360 --> 00:42:00,360
We sat around the fire talking, 
laughing until about 12:30 and 

774
00:42:00,360 --> 00:42:02,880
then we decided to crawl into 
our sleeping bags and go to 

775
00:42:02,880 --> 00:42:06,600
sleep. 
Once in my sleeping bag I curled

776
00:42:06,600 --> 00:42:09,680
up and I could just see the 
campfire dying out when I heard 

777
00:42:09,680 --> 00:42:12,800
a howl that made me want to pack
up and leave right then. 

778
00:42:13,240 --> 00:42:17,040
It wasn't a dog or a coyote. 
It was scary and awful. 

779
00:42:17,400 --> 00:42:20,280
My friend decided it was best to
come into my pup tent. 

780
00:42:20,600 --> 00:42:22,680
I knew he heard it too but he 
denied it. 

781
00:42:23,280 --> 00:42:26,360
I laid there scared to death and
wide awake watching the fire 

782
00:42:26,360 --> 00:42:29,480
still dying and heard footsteps 
like a man walking. 

783
00:42:30,120 --> 00:42:33,200
We both laid awake until 
sunlight and left the camp and 

784
00:42:33,200 --> 00:42:34,640
headed down the hill to the 
farm. 

785
00:42:35,360 --> 00:42:37,800
I looked around for signs that 
someone had been up there with 

786
00:42:37,800 --> 00:42:39,880
us, but the ground was covered 
in leaves. 

787
00:42:40,520 --> 00:42:43,120
I asked my friend about the howl
and he said it could have been a

788
00:42:43,120 --> 00:42:46,120
number of things I heard, but he
never admitted to hearing it 

789
00:42:46,120 --> 00:42:49,600
too. 
It was toward the end of summer 

790
00:42:49,600 --> 00:42:53,560
in September 2011 that I had my 
sighting of a tall, hairy, 

791
00:42:53,560 --> 00:42:57,280
bipedal creature. 
I went to bed at around 9:30 on 

792
00:42:57,280 --> 00:42:59,760
September 5th. 
It was a warm summer night in 

793
00:42:59,760 --> 00:43:03,920
East Canton, Stark County, Ohio.
I usually don't get much sleep 

794
00:43:03,920 --> 00:43:06,840
as I get older and it seems to 
get worse the older I get. 

795
00:43:07,360 --> 00:43:10,640
I was awakened at about 2:00 AM 
and had decided to go outside 

796
00:43:10,640 --> 00:43:13,240
and smoke a cigarette because I 
don't smoke in the house. 

797
00:43:13,840 --> 00:43:16,160
I proceeded to the living room 
where the French doors are 

798
00:43:16,160 --> 00:43:19,200
located to go to the rear deck 
that is positioned on the 

799
00:43:19,200 --> 00:43:23,040
southeast corner of my house. 
I walked out on the rear deck 

800
00:43:23,040 --> 00:43:25,560
and stood there just in front of
the French doors where the 

801
00:43:25,560 --> 00:43:28,440
ashtray was sitting on the 
handrail and I noticed that the 

802
00:43:28,440 --> 00:43:31,640
moon was mostly full and that 
the temperature was rather warm.

803
00:43:32,200 --> 00:43:35,120
I was facing my backyard and 
enjoying the moonlight and I 

804
00:43:35,120 --> 00:43:37,520
might have been there for 
approximately 2 or 3 minutes 

805
00:43:37,680 --> 00:43:40,960
when I heard a low guttural 
growl coming from my left from 

806
00:43:40,960 --> 00:43:44,160
the cornfield. 
I live on a dead end St. and the

807
00:43:44,160 --> 00:43:47,400
property that's located beside 
me is a cornfield that belongs 

808
00:43:47,400 --> 00:43:49,200
to a gentleman that lives up the
street. 

809
00:43:49,800 --> 00:43:52,520
There's a single line of large 
pine trees that divide my 

810
00:43:52,520 --> 00:43:56,280
property from the field. 
As I looked out to my left after

811
00:43:56,280 --> 00:43:58,480
hearing the growl, I couldn't 
see anything. 

812
00:43:58,600 --> 00:44:01,400
Even though the moon was shining
in my direction, I still 

813
00:44:01,400 --> 00:44:04,720
continued to stand there and 
about a minute later I heard the

814
00:44:04,720 --> 00:44:08,560
low guttural growl once again. 
I proceeded to extinguish my 

815
00:44:08,560 --> 00:44:11,840
cigarette and walk back into the
house, not telling anybody about

816
00:44:11,840 --> 00:44:14,920
what had happened. 
The next night I went to bed 

817
00:44:14,920 --> 00:44:18,400
approximately 10:00 PM and again
I couldn't sleep and had 

818
00:44:18,400 --> 00:44:21,280
awakened at about 1:00 AM and 
got up and headed out to the 

819
00:44:21,280 --> 00:44:24,400
rear deck, totally dismissing 
what had occurred the previous 

820
00:44:24,400 --> 00:44:26,560
night. 
I was standing in the same area 

821
00:44:26,560 --> 00:44:29,760
again enjoying the warm night 
and the moon was only showing 

822
00:44:29,760 --> 00:44:33,280
about 60% but was still bright 
and with very little clouds. 

823
00:44:33,280 --> 00:44:35,920
That night the same thing 
occurred. 

824
00:44:36,520 --> 00:44:39,200
It must have been a few minutes 
as I stood there and I heard the

825
00:44:39,200 --> 00:44:41,800
low growl coming from the same 
area from my left. 

826
00:44:42,280 --> 00:44:45,400
This time it seemed to be a bit 
louder and I looked over between

827
00:44:45,400 --> 00:44:48,160
the pine trees but I couldn't 
see anything but darkness. 

828
00:44:48,840 --> 00:44:51,320
I originally thought that it 
might have been a bear, but 

829
00:44:51,320 --> 00:44:54,640
after checking bear sightings, I
dismissed it because none have 

830
00:44:54,640 --> 00:44:58,560
been reported in my area at this
time. 

831
00:44:58,560 --> 00:45:01,560
I'm getting a little nervous 
because whatever this was, it 

832
00:45:01,560 --> 00:45:04,520
sounded extremely large and 
seemed to have a large set of 

833
00:45:04,520 --> 00:45:07,320
lungs. 
I proceeded back into the house 

834
00:45:07,440 --> 00:45:10,360
and just as I entered through 
the doorway, my wife had gotten 

835
00:45:10,360 --> 00:45:13,000
up and she'd headed to the door 
to go out on the rear deck. 

836
00:45:13,480 --> 00:45:15,840
I stopped her and told her about
the growls that I've been 

837
00:45:15,840 --> 00:45:17,640
hearing tonight and the previous
night. 

838
00:45:18,240 --> 00:45:21,920
She replies with I know I've 
heard them before and with a 

839
00:45:21,920 --> 00:45:25,240
look on my face I thanked her 
for not telling me and didn't go

840
00:45:25,240 --> 00:45:28,440
outside for the rest of the week
because I had no idea what was 

841
00:45:28,440 --> 00:45:30,960
lurking in the shadows and I 
didn't know if it was still 

842
00:45:30,960 --> 00:45:34,400
hanging around. 
The next day I contacted my 

843
00:45:34,400 --> 00:45:37,400
oldest son and told him what was
going on around the house and he

844
00:45:37,400 --> 00:45:40,400
said he would come over on 
Friday night after work and we 

845
00:45:40,400 --> 00:45:43,600
would check things out. 
Now it's Friday and I got home 

846
00:45:43,600 --> 00:45:47,000
from work about 5:30 that day 
and my oldest son was already at

847
00:45:47,000 --> 00:45:50,280
my house waiting on me. 
We proceeded through to the tree

848
00:45:50,280 --> 00:45:53,400
line that connects the southeast
corner of my backyard and runs 

849
00:45:53,400 --> 00:45:57,160
along the edge of the cornfield.
As we were walking through we 

850
00:45:57,160 --> 00:46:00,160
started to notice strange stick 
formations that didn't make 

851
00:46:00,160 --> 00:46:03,280
sense and it seemed to rule out 
something done by nature. 

852
00:46:04,240 --> 00:46:06,800
We finally got to the edge of 
the tree line and it meets a 

853
00:46:06,800 --> 00:46:10,880
large field with tall grass that
gets 5 to 6 feet high and part 

854
00:46:10,880 --> 00:46:13,800
of it seemed to be swampy and 
some cattails were growing on 

855
00:46:13,800 --> 00:46:16,440
one side. 
The temperature that day was 

856
00:46:16,440 --> 00:46:19,960
warm and sunny with very little 
cloud cover and no rain, but the

857
00:46:19,960 --> 00:46:22,920
ground of the field still seemed
to be wet and muddy and 

858
00:46:22,920 --> 00:46:27,320
definitely a paradise for ticks.
My son and I made it partially 

859
00:46:27,320 --> 00:46:29,920
through the field and we stopped
to look across the field toward 

860
00:46:29,920 --> 00:46:32,640
the wooded area and we were 
facing the southeastern 

861
00:46:32,640 --> 00:46:35,840
direction over at some crabapple
trees that were located on the 

862
00:46:35,840 --> 00:46:37,800
tree line on the other side of 
the field. 

863
00:46:38,600 --> 00:46:41,880
We were standing side by side 
and out of my peripheral vision 

864
00:46:42,000 --> 00:46:44,320
I noticed some movement at the 
edge of the tree line. 

865
00:46:44,840 --> 00:46:47,560
It was approximately 200 feet 
from where we were standing. 

866
00:46:48,080 --> 00:46:50,840
I asked my son if he had seen 
the movement as I pointed in the

867
00:46:50,840 --> 00:46:54,600
direction of the wooded area and
he replied no I didn't see it. 

868
00:46:55,120 --> 00:46:58,040
Then he said let's go 
investigate that and see what it

869
00:46:58,040 --> 00:47:01,520
could have been. 
It was around 5:50 by this time 

870
00:47:01,520 --> 00:47:04,520
and I didn't know if it was deer
or anything else because I just 

871
00:47:04,520 --> 00:47:07,400
saw the movement and I couldn't 
tell shape or colour of the 

872
00:47:07,400 --> 00:47:10,560
subject in question. 
We finally made it through the 

873
00:47:10,560 --> 00:47:13,640
field to the tree line and there
was a Creek about 3 foot wide 

874
00:47:13,680 --> 00:47:17,120
with very little water flowing 
through it and we also noticed a

875
00:47:17,120 --> 00:47:19,720
trail where the deer had been 
crossing that Creek in the same 

876
00:47:19,720 --> 00:47:22,640
area and it was heavily 
travelled because the tree roots

877
00:47:22,640 --> 00:47:25,520
were showing. 
We both jumped across the narrow

878
00:47:25,520 --> 00:47:28,480
Creek and started to walk the 
Deer Trail which followed the 

879
00:47:28,480 --> 00:47:31,760
edge of the narrow Creek and I 
told my son that I was going to 

880
00:47:31,760 --> 00:47:34,760
check the creek's edge for any 
type of Prince because I know I 

881
00:47:34,760 --> 00:47:36,800
had seen something move over in 
that area. 

882
00:47:37,640 --> 00:47:40,520
My son elected to wait up on the
trail while I was searching the 

883
00:47:40,520 --> 00:47:43,240
creek's edge. 
I was looking on both sides of 

884
00:47:43,240 --> 00:47:46,320
the Creek when my son alerted me
and wanted me to come look at 

885
00:47:46,320 --> 00:47:49,840
something that was odd to him so
I proceeded up the small 

886
00:47:49,840 --> 00:47:52,280
embankment and walked over to 
where he was standing. 

887
00:47:52,800 --> 00:47:56,080
He said stand where I am and 
follow the Creek down to a large

888
00:47:56,080 --> 00:47:58,680
tree on the creek's edge and 
tell me what that is. 

889
00:47:59,520 --> 00:48:02,720
I looked down to the tree which 
was a good 300 feet and I 

890
00:48:02,720 --> 00:48:05,160
noticed something dark that 
seemed to be squatting behind 

891
00:48:05,160 --> 00:48:08,760
that tree but I couldn't tell 
what it was but I know it wasn't

892
00:48:08,760 --> 00:48:11,720
moving so I dismissed it as a 
log or a tree stump. 

893
00:48:12,560 --> 00:48:15,520
I went back to the creek's edge 
to continue looking for any type

894
00:48:15,520 --> 00:48:18,640
of prints in the soft mud, but 
came up empty handed. 

895
00:48:19,360 --> 00:48:21,920
I told him we should go into the
woods a little deeper just to 

896
00:48:21,920 --> 00:48:25,400
see what else we could find and 
I walked back up the Deer Trail 

897
00:48:25,880 --> 00:48:29,120
And just for curiosity I went to
the spot where I previously 

898
00:48:29,120 --> 00:48:32,600
stood to look down at the large 
tree where we both saw that dark

899
00:48:32,600 --> 00:48:35,920
object and this time the area 
looked different. 

900
00:48:36,760 --> 00:48:39,520
We walked the Deer Trail which 
followed the narrow Creek and 

901
00:48:39,520 --> 00:48:42,600
had noticed the narrow Creek 
ties to a larger Creek that was 

902
00:48:42,600 --> 00:48:46,520
about 15 feet wide but we didn't
see any good spot to cross until

903
00:48:46,520 --> 00:48:49,520
we followed it a little further 
and we had found a shallow spot 

904
00:48:49,520 --> 00:48:52,800
that we could cross. 
Once we crossed the larger Creek

905
00:48:52,800 --> 00:48:56,360
we split up and I headed South. 
He headed north and I've been 

906
00:48:56,360 --> 00:48:59,080
looking around for about 5 
minutes and I heard him Call My 

907
00:48:59,080 --> 00:49:01,240
Name and wanted me to go to his 
location. 

908
00:49:02,080 --> 00:49:04,920
I walked over to where he was 
and he was standing in a small 

909
00:49:04,920 --> 00:49:08,320
clearing that had the greenest 
grass I had ever seen and this 

910
00:49:08,320 --> 00:49:11,560
clearing was surrounded by a 
thick brush in the shape of AUI 

911
00:49:12,240 --> 00:49:15,680
had noticed an unbearable smell 
in that area and he asked me if 

912
00:49:15,680 --> 00:49:17,920
I could smell it and I replied 
yes. 

913
00:49:18,400 --> 00:49:21,600
But then I asked him what it was
because we couldn't pinpoint 

914
00:49:21,600 --> 00:49:24,440
what type of smell it was 
because it had a combined odor 

915
00:49:24,560 --> 00:49:29,160
of rotten eggs and rotted flesh.
We both started searching that 

916
00:49:29,160 --> 00:49:32,400
immediate area for a possible 
dead animal or anything that 

917
00:49:32,400 --> 00:49:35,360
could have made that nasty odor.
We couldn't come up with 

918
00:49:35,360 --> 00:49:38,720
anything and it was starting to 
get about 6:30 that night, so I 

919
00:49:38,720 --> 00:49:41,760
told him that we should go, we 
can come back another time and 

920
00:49:41,760 --> 00:49:45,000
he agreed. 
We went back to the large Creek 

921
00:49:45,040 --> 00:49:47,800
and crossed over and walked 
along the Deer Trail until we 

922
00:49:47,800 --> 00:49:50,880
got about 20 feet from the area 
that we had originally crossed 

923
00:49:50,880 --> 00:49:54,040
the small Creek that took us to 
the field with the tall grass. 

924
00:49:54,640 --> 00:49:57,360
And as he was walking in front 
of me he stopped and he was 

925
00:49:57,360 --> 00:50:00,080
looking to his left. 
Then he asked what he was doing.

926
00:50:00,280 --> 00:50:04,400
He said look and as I looked 
over to my left I couldn't see 

927
00:50:04,400 --> 00:50:07,080
what he was looking at. 
So I asked him again what he was

928
00:50:07,080 --> 00:50:10,960
looking at and he pointed to his
left and told me to look with a 

929
00:50:10,960 --> 00:50:14,280
more stern voice. 
But yet again I couldn't see 

930
00:50:14,280 --> 00:50:17,400
because I had a tree and limb 
covered with leaves obstructing 

931
00:50:17,400 --> 00:50:20,160
my view. 
I hunched down about 6 to 8 

932
00:50:20,160 --> 00:50:24,000
inches to look below the limb 
and about 100 feet from us I saw

933
00:50:24,000 --> 00:50:28,080
a huge hairy creature standing 
in a bipedal fashion with a 

934
00:50:28,080 --> 00:50:30,600
forward gait staring in our 
direction. 

935
00:50:31,400 --> 00:50:34,200
There wasn't much between US and
this creature but some brush and

936
00:50:34,200 --> 00:50:37,800
small saplings and as we stood 
there in amazement it was moving

937
00:50:37,800 --> 00:50:41,000
its upper body back and forth. 
At this time I really don't 

938
00:50:41,000 --> 00:50:43,440
think that it said in our minds 
what we were actually looking 

939
00:50:43,440 --> 00:50:46,640
at, but I can say that it seemed
as though time had stopped 

940
00:50:46,760 --> 00:50:49,520
because I think we were in shock
from the massive size. 

941
00:50:50,120 --> 00:50:53,120
This unexplained creature 
appeared to be at least 7 1/2 

942
00:50:53,120 --> 00:50:56,480
feet tall and had to weigh a 
minimum of £600. 

943
00:50:57,160 --> 00:51:00,200
The hair was a dark reddish 
brown and it had a matted and 

944
00:51:00,200 --> 00:51:03,800
dirty look to it and most of the
face was covered with hair but 

945
00:51:03,800 --> 00:51:06,640
from what I could see it 
appeared to be of human trait. 

946
00:51:07,360 --> 00:51:10,120
The ears were covered with hair 
and it was standing at an angle 

947
00:51:10,120 --> 00:51:13,560
to us, but I could see the legs 
were extremely muscular and 

948
00:51:13,560 --> 00:51:16,960
large and the arm's length 
seemed to go just slightly past 

949
00:51:16,960 --> 00:51:19,640
the knees. 
I just couldn't help but to 

950
00:51:19,640 --> 00:51:22,880
stare at this creature because I
couldn't believe the size, just 

951
00:51:22,880 --> 00:51:25,640
how big it was. 
I believed that it was swinging 

952
00:51:25,640 --> 00:51:28,480
its upper body back and forth 
because it knew that we were 

953
00:51:28,480 --> 00:51:31,960
there, but I don't think it knew
what our exact location was and 

954
00:51:31,960 --> 00:51:35,000
it was trying to find us as we 
were kind of hidden behind some 

955
00:51:35,000 --> 00:51:37,520
brush. 
And as my son and myself broke 

956
00:51:37,520 --> 00:51:41,040
out of some type of hypnosis, I 
looked at my son and said we 

957
00:51:41,040 --> 00:51:44,280
need to go. 
He agreed and he was running but

958
00:51:44,280 --> 00:51:47,320
I told him not to run and that 
we would walk out but keep an 

959
00:51:47,320 --> 00:51:49,160
eye out to see if we were being 
followed. 

960
00:51:50,200 --> 00:51:53,200
We finally made it to the small 
Creek, jumped across and headed 

961
00:51:53,200 --> 00:51:56,520
across the field with the tall 
grass as we kept looking behind 

962
00:51:56,520 --> 00:51:59,320
us to see if we were being 
followed, but didn't notice 

963
00:51:59,320 --> 00:52:02,880
anything at all. 
We made it across the field and 

964
00:52:02,880 --> 00:52:05,800
took a shortcut through the 
cornfield and as we both stepped

965
00:52:05,800 --> 00:52:08,400
onto my backyard we turned 
around and looked in the 

966
00:52:08,400 --> 00:52:11,680
direction of where we had just 
come from and just slightly 

967
00:52:11,680 --> 00:52:15,160
north of us in the wooded area 
we heard two really loud tree 

968
00:52:15,160 --> 00:52:17,760
knocks. 
To this day, I will never forget

969
00:52:17,760 --> 00:52:20,320
what I seen that day and I will 
remember it like it was 

970
00:52:20,320 --> 00:52:23,840
yesterday and nobody can 
convince me that it was anything

971
00:52:23,840 --> 00:52:26,040
else other than what we call 
Bigfoot. 

972
00:52:28,360 --> 00:52:32,480
On September 28th, 2002, a man 
who lived with his family in a 

973
00:52:32,480 --> 00:52:36,840
remote location in Derry 
Township, PA, reported that two 

974
00:52:36,840 --> 00:52:39,600
separate family members on 
different occasions had seen a 

975
00:52:39,600 --> 00:52:41,520
creature he described. 
As a Bigfoot. 

976
00:52:42,280 --> 00:52:45,280
The man's son had the first 
encounter on September 11th, 

977
00:52:45,280 --> 00:52:48,520
2002. 
During the early evening when 

978
00:52:48,520 --> 00:52:51,240
riding a bicycle, he heard a 
crashing sound coming through 

979
00:52:51,240 --> 00:52:53,240
the woods. 
It sounded as though something 

980
00:52:53,240 --> 00:52:56,040
was hitting a log along with 
branches being broken. 

981
00:52:56,680 --> 00:53:00,800
About 300 feet ahead he saw a 
big brown human looking thing, 

982
00:53:00,840 --> 00:53:03,480
but very tall. 
The creature was moving along 

983
00:53:03,480 --> 00:53:06,120
the tree line, but at times in 
various clearings. 

984
00:53:06,280 --> 00:53:08,640
The youngster got a good look at
the strange animal. 

985
00:53:09,120 --> 00:53:12,800
He described it as man like, 
covered with dark brown hair and

986
00:53:12,800 --> 00:53:16,000
standing about 8 feet tall. 
The head of the beast was 

987
00:53:16,000 --> 00:53:18,760
somewhat cone shaped and the 
animal appeared to be broad 

988
00:53:18,760 --> 00:53:22,240
shouldered and had long arms. 
The creature appeared to move in

989
00:53:22,240 --> 00:53:25,520
a stooped manner, but took very 
long strides as it walked. 

990
00:53:26,240 --> 00:53:29,040
The fellow ran home to tell his 
father what he had seen, and 

991
00:53:29,040 --> 00:53:31,720
they quickly searched the area 
but found no signs of their 

992
00:53:31,720 --> 00:53:35,320
uninvited visitor. 
An even more amazing daylight 

993
00:53:35,320 --> 00:53:39,400
encounter took place during the 
afternoon of September 27th when

994
00:53:39,400 --> 00:53:41,680
the man's wife was driving away 
from their house. 

995
00:53:42,120 --> 00:53:45,000
She was talking to her husband 
on the cell phone as the event 

996
00:53:45,000 --> 00:53:47,560
unfolded. 
She heard something that sounded

997
00:53:47,560 --> 00:53:50,320
like tree limbs breaking in the 
woods to her left and she 

998
00:53:50,320 --> 00:53:52,720
assumed that a deer was about to
exit the forest. 

999
00:53:53,280 --> 00:53:57,160
She slowed down, expecting to 
see a deer, but instead saw a 

1000
00:53:57,160 --> 00:54:00,160
tall man like creature emerge 
from a clearing in the woods. 

1001
00:54:00,640 --> 00:54:02,680
She quickly told her husband 
what had happened. 

1002
00:54:03,400 --> 00:54:06,000
The creature was covered with 
long brown hair that appeared to

1003
00:54:06,000 --> 00:54:09,840
be about 12 inches in length. 
It stood about 8 feet tall and 

1004
00:54:09,840 --> 00:54:13,440
was quite broad shouldered. 
The arms were long, hanging down

1005
00:54:13,440 --> 00:54:16,640
to around its knees. 
She saw the creature in an open 

1006
00:54:16,640 --> 00:54:19,000
field about 45 yards from her 
car. 

1007
00:54:20,000 --> 00:54:22,480
The creature was slightly 
hunched over as it walked across

1008
00:54:22,480 --> 00:54:24,960
the open field. 
With its long strides, it 

1009
00:54:24,960 --> 00:54:27,480
covered the 100 foot long field 
quickly. 

1010
00:54:28,040 --> 00:54:30,880
Oddly, the creature did not 
swing its arms as it moved. 

1011
00:54:31,720 --> 00:54:34,080
The witness looked on as the 
creature reached the edge of the

1012
00:54:34,080 --> 00:54:36,520
field. 
The woman watched in amazement 

1013
00:54:36,520 --> 00:54:39,240
as the creature stepped over a 
barbed wire fence without 

1014
00:54:39,240 --> 00:54:43,040
slowing down or breaking stride.
The creature continued walking 

1015
00:54:43,040 --> 00:54:45,480
deeper into the woods and was 
lost from sight. 

1016
00:54:46,080 --> 00:54:48,280
The woman remained on the phone 
with her husband during the 

1017
00:54:48,280 --> 00:54:51,000
sighting, becoming more 
frightened as each second 

1018
00:54:51,000 --> 00:54:54,240
passed. 
That fence, by the way, was 44 

1019
00:54:54,240 --> 00:54:59,800
inches high. 
On July 10th, 2009, a strange 

1020
00:54:59,800 --> 00:55:03,600
occurrence took place on A2 Lane
Rd. in Fayette County, outside 

1021
00:55:03,600 --> 00:55:07,200
the city of Uniontown. 
The location is about 50 miles 

1022
00:55:07,200 --> 00:55:12,080
southeast of Pittsburgh. 
It was about 6:00 PM on a warm 

1023
00:55:12,080 --> 00:55:13,920
and clear day when the encounter
occurred. 

1024
00:55:14,400 --> 00:55:18,440
A woman was driving in her car 
at about 35 to 40 mph and 

1025
00:55:18,440 --> 00:55:21,760
watching the road ahead. 
Then suddenly, out of the corner

1026
00:55:21,760 --> 00:55:25,080
of her eye, she saw to her left 
what she thought was a person 

1027
00:55:25,080 --> 00:55:28,000
approaching her vehicle, as 
though someone was about to walk

1028
00:55:28,000 --> 00:55:30,440
in front of her car. 
She thought she was going to 

1029
00:55:30,440 --> 00:55:34,480
crash right into him, so rather 
than hit the person, she swerved

1030
00:55:34,480 --> 00:55:37,480
quickly to the right side of the
road, Thankfully that no other 

1031
00:55:37,480 --> 00:55:39,600
cars or pedestrians were there 
at the time. 

1032
00:55:40,280 --> 00:55:43,560
As she swerved, she looked at 
the figure again and realized 

1033
00:55:43,600 --> 00:55:46,840
that she was not looking at a 
human being, but an odd hair 

1034
00:55:46,840 --> 00:55:49,840
covered creature. 
As the woman sat there 

1035
00:55:49,840 --> 00:55:52,920
momentarily, she looked in her 
rearview mirror and saw that the

1036
00:55:52,920 --> 00:55:56,600
creature was now behind her car.
She watched in amazement as the 

1037
00:55:56,600 --> 00:56:00,160
creature leapt across the trunk 
area, explaining that she looked

1038
00:56:00,160 --> 00:56:03,840
just in time to see it leap. 
Very shaken, she sat there for a

1039
00:56:03,840 --> 00:56:06,720
few moments trying to sort out 
in her mind what had just 

1040
00:56:06,720 --> 00:56:09,080
occurred. 
When she looked up toward her 

1041
00:56:09,080 --> 00:56:12,560
right, the hairy beast was 
running down a side Rd. about 75

1042
00:56:12,560 --> 00:56:14,720
yards away. 
Then it moved out of sight. 

1043
00:56:15,600 --> 00:56:18,680
The episode lasted just several 
seconds, but the woman had a 

1044
00:56:18,680 --> 00:56:21,720
chance to get a good look at the
creature since this was a close 

1045
00:56:21,720 --> 00:56:23,720
range sighting in daylight 
conditions. 

1046
00:56:24,600 --> 00:56:27,640
The creature was described as a 
dark coloured and hair covered 

1047
00:56:27,640 --> 00:56:30,400
man like creature. 
The witness felt that it was at 

1048
00:56:30,400 --> 00:56:32,680
least 6 feet tall or slightly 
taller. 

1049
00:56:33,360 --> 00:56:36,600
The head was described as large 
and elongated and covered in 

1050
00:56:36,600 --> 00:56:40,280
hair that looked wild. 
Its neck was rather odd looking 

1051
00:56:40,280 --> 00:56:43,320
as it was hair covered, but it 
seemed to be thin and long. 

1052
00:56:44,080 --> 00:56:46,840
According to the woman who saw 
it, the neck looked strange 

1053
00:56:46,840 --> 00:56:49,480
because the head was so big and 
the shoulders were wide. 

1054
00:56:50,520 --> 00:56:53,960
The creature walked upright on 2
legs and had long arms that hung

1055
00:56:53,960 --> 00:56:55,800
down to the knees or past the 
knees. 

1056
00:56:56,240 --> 00:56:59,080
The hair on its arms was 
described as being quite long, 

1057
00:56:59,080 --> 00:57:01,960
similar to ape hair. 
The witness thought that the 

1058
00:57:01,960 --> 00:57:03,600
hands were also covered with 
hair. 

1059
00:57:03,880 --> 00:57:06,920
The creature had wide shoulders 
that were rounded and was stocky

1060
00:57:06,920 --> 00:57:10,880
and muscular in appearance. 
Its chest was also covered with 

1061
00:57:10,880 --> 00:57:14,040
thick hair. 
The woman stated that while she 

1062
00:57:14,040 --> 00:57:16,720
didn't see any muscles, the 
creature appeared to be in quite

1063
00:57:16,720 --> 00:57:18,960
good physical shape from the way
it moved. 

1064
00:57:19,840 --> 00:57:22,440
The woman recalled the detailed 
description of its facial 

1065
00:57:22,440 --> 00:57:24,600
features. 
The face itself was hair 

1066
00:57:24,600 --> 00:57:28,720
covered, however an exposed area
looked white and a major 

1067
00:57:28,720 --> 00:57:31,120
contrast could be seen in colour
from the hair. 

1068
00:57:31,680 --> 00:57:34,840
The nose was flat and dark and 
the ears were covered and could 

1069
00:57:34,840 --> 00:57:37,640
not be seen. 
The mouth area was not clearly 

1070
00:57:37,640 --> 00:57:40,320
seen. 
Hair protruded from all over the

1071
00:57:40,320 --> 00:57:43,080
face, similar to that of a 
canine or wolf. 

1072
00:57:43,680 --> 00:57:46,480
These features gave the woman 
the impression that it was older

1073
00:57:46,480 --> 00:57:49,160
in age. 
The witness stated that it was 

1074
00:57:49,160 --> 00:57:51,880
the eyes that really caught her 
attention and scared her. 

1075
00:57:52,160 --> 00:57:55,080
They were somewhat circular in 
shape and at least twice as 

1076
00:57:55,080 --> 00:57:58,520
large as that of a human. 
In describing them, she talked 

1077
00:57:58,520 --> 00:58:00,480
about the fierceness, the wild 
look. 

1078
00:58:00,600 --> 00:58:04,040
It looked like it was crazy. 
The eyes were dark, possibly 

1079
00:58:04,040 --> 00:58:07,680
black, and were wide set. 
She said the eyes had no whites.

1080
00:58:08,040 --> 00:58:10,600
She believes that is why the 
eyes look so strange. 

1081
00:58:11,440 --> 00:58:14,720
No unusual orders or sounds were
detected during the occurrence. 

1082
00:58:14,880 --> 00:58:17,640
The driver did have her windows 
up and the air conditioner 

1083
00:58:17,640 --> 00:58:20,720
running at the time. 
After the incident, the woman 

1084
00:58:20,720 --> 00:58:23,960
drove to a safe area to park and
sat there trying to find an 

1085
00:58:23,960 --> 00:58:25,760
explanation for what she had 
seen. 

1086
00:58:26,280 --> 00:58:29,320
She tried to rationalize that 
this was just a human, maybe a 

1087
00:58:29,320 --> 00:58:32,960
person in a costume, but after 
reviewing what had happened, she

1088
00:58:32,960 --> 00:58:36,120
ruled out that possibility. 
The creature was running very 

1089
00:58:36,120 --> 00:58:39,800
fast directly in the path of her
car, and it didn't seem to care 

1090
00:58:39,800 --> 00:58:41,360
that it was going to be hit by 
the car. 

1091
00:58:41,800 --> 00:58:45,640
Also, the speed and agility of 
the creature, as evidenced when 

1092
00:58:45,640 --> 00:58:48,800
it leaped over the trunk of her 
car, seemed beyond the ability 

1093
00:58:48,800 --> 00:58:51,800
of a human being. 
When the back of the car was 

1094
00:58:51,800 --> 00:58:55,600
examined, a large scratched area
on the left side was observed. 

1095
00:58:56,160 --> 00:58:58,760
The family had never noticed 
this scratched area on the car 

1096
00:58:58,760 --> 00:59:01,240
before. 
The scratches were measured at 

1097
00:59:01,240 --> 00:59:03,080
six inches from the left tail 
light. 

1098
00:59:03,480 --> 00:59:06,760
The affected area was about 8 
1/2 inches long and two inches 

1099
00:59:06,760 --> 00:59:09,800
wide. 
Numerous vertical and horizontal

1100
00:59:09,800 --> 00:59:12,360
thin scratch lines penetrated 
the paint surface. 

1101
00:59:13,040 --> 00:59:15,880
While it's uncertain, the 
possibility exists that this 

1102
00:59:15,880 --> 00:59:19,200
damage had been caused by 
contact from the creature as it 

1103
00:59:19,200 --> 00:59:20,840
leapt across the trunk of the 
car. 

1104
00:59:21,920 --> 00:59:24,440
The creature was last seen 
walking in a direction that 

1105
00:59:24,440 --> 00:59:27,240
would have taken it through a 
heavily wooded area toward 

1106
00:59:27,240 --> 00:59:32,520
Jumanville. 
Cub Scout spots Bigfoot The 

1107
00:59:32,520 --> 00:59:35,960
young scout and his family lived
on the Ligonier side of Chestnut

1108
00:59:35,960 --> 00:59:39,960
Ridge during the week of 
February 14th, 1988. 

1109
00:59:40,120 --> 00:59:43,160
He was playing in a wooded area 
near his home when he noticed 

1110
00:59:43,160 --> 00:59:46,600
ahead of him a tall human like 
figure, but it was covered with 

1111
00:59:46,600 --> 00:59:50,080
dark brown hair. 
The creature was about 150 feet 

1112
00:59:50,080 --> 00:59:53,320
away and was just standing there
when it apparently realised that

1113
00:59:53,320 --> 00:59:56,320
it was being observed. 
It turned and looked at the boy 

1114
00:59:56,320 --> 00:59:58,960
for about a minute, then walked 
deeper into the woods. 

1115
00:59:59,560 --> 01:00:02,000
The youth said its arms hung 
down below its knees and he 

1116
01:00:02,000 --> 01:00:05,680
noticed a strong smell in the 
air, like a wet dog, but much 

1117
01:00:05,680 --> 01:00:08,440
stronger. 
The boy waited a while but the 

1118
01:00:08,440 --> 01:00:11,840
creature did not return. 
He was curious as to what it 

1119
01:00:11,840 --> 01:00:15,320
was, since he could only 
describe it as a big ape walking

1120
01:00:15,320 --> 01:00:17,800
like a man. 
He walked over to the spot where

1121
01:00:17,800 --> 01:00:20,560
it had been standing and it was 
there he found a number of 

1122
01:00:20,560 --> 01:00:24,280
footprints in the muddy area, 
all of which were about 15 

1123
01:00:24,280 --> 01:00:28,080
inches long and had distinct 
toes, possibly 4IN number. 

1124
01:00:28,720 --> 01:00:31,320
When he told his parents about 
his experience, they told him 

1125
01:00:31,320 --> 01:00:34,280
that it was just his 
imagination, but the boy was 

1126
01:00:34,280 --> 01:00:36,360
insistent that he had seen the 
creature. 

1127
01:00:36,880 --> 01:00:39,680
He went to the library to locate
some books on wildlife of the 

1128
01:00:39,680 --> 01:00:42,000
world to try to find the animal 
he had seen. 

1129
01:00:42,480 --> 01:00:45,920
Except for a gorilla, nothing in
the books was even close to its 

1130
01:00:45,920 --> 01:00:50,880
appearance. 
This event involves a man who 

1131
01:00:50,880 --> 01:00:53,960
was walking behind a train 
station in Somerset County, 

1132
01:00:53,960 --> 01:00:56,880
Pennsylvania. 
It was about dusk as the man 

1133
01:00:56,880 --> 01:00:59,240
walked on the pathway that led 
out of the woods near the 

1134
01:00:59,240 --> 01:01:02,760
railroad tracks, when suddenly a
large tree branch was thrown at 

1135
01:01:02,760 --> 01:01:05,440
his feet. 
He looked up to see a creature 

1136
01:01:05,440 --> 01:01:08,720
further down the path, standing 
motionless and just staring at 

1137
01:01:08,720 --> 01:01:10,920
him. 
He described the creature as 

1138
01:01:10,920 --> 01:01:14,440
standing about 8 to 9 feet tall,
with a large head, broad 

1139
01:01:14,440 --> 01:01:17,880
shoulders, its arms hanging down
below its knees and covered with

1140
01:01:17,880 --> 01:01:20,040
hair. 
The eyes of the creature were 

1141
01:01:20,040 --> 01:01:23,400
widely separated, and the 
fingers appeared unusually long.

1142
01:01:24,000 --> 01:01:26,520
The fellow said he could hear 
the animal making a heavy 

1143
01:01:26,520 --> 01:01:29,440
breathing noise. 
For five long minutes they had a

1144
01:01:29,440 --> 01:01:32,040
visual stand off. 
Then the creature suddenly 

1145
01:01:32,040 --> 01:01:35,040
turned and took a large step 
over a bank, moving out of the 

1146
01:01:35,040 --> 01:01:38,520
man's line of sight. 
As the creature ran off, it did 

1147
01:01:38,520 --> 01:01:41,760
so in a stooped fashion. 
The ground was frozen at the 

1148
01:01:41,760 --> 01:01:44,920
time and the man said he could 
hear heavy footsteps as the 

1149
01:01:44,920 --> 01:01:50,080
creature moved off. 2 couples 
decided to take a moonlit walk 

1150
01:01:50,080 --> 01:01:53,880
to a scenic lookout between 
Youngwood and New Stanton, PA. 

1151
01:01:54,600 --> 01:01:57,880
It was about 11:00 PM when they 
decided to walk down a local Rd.

1152
01:01:58,520 --> 01:02:01,160
As they started moving to the 
top of the hill, they began to 

1153
01:02:01,160 --> 01:02:04,240
hear a rattling and hissing 
noise coming from above them. 

1154
01:02:04,840 --> 01:02:07,320
When they reached the top, they 
noticed something odd in the 

1155
01:02:07,320 --> 01:02:09,680
distance. 
In the area where the sounds 

1156
01:02:09,680 --> 01:02:13,160
were coming from sat a capped 
gas well, which was moving back 

1157
01:02:13,160 --> 01:02:15,320
and forth as though someone was 
shaking it. 

1158
01:02:16,040 --> 01:02:19,440
The activity soon stopped. 
The group of people continued to

1159
01:02:19,440 --> 01:02:21,960
walk toward the opposite side of
the hill that overlooks the 

1160
01:02:21,960 --> 01:02:24,720
area. 
The couple sat there for a while

1161
01:02:24,720 --> 01:02:27,760
enjoying the evening, when one 
of the men heard a low moaning 

1162
01:02:27,760 --> 01:02:30,520
and whining noise in the 
distance and mentioned it to the

1163
01:02:30,520 --> 01:02:32,720
others. 
The others heard nothing and 

1164
01:02:32,720 --> 01:02:36,200
kept on talking. 
A short time later, the same man

1165
01:02:36,200 --> 01:02:39,080
and one of the women both heard 
the sounds at the same time. 

1166
01:02:40,000 --> 01:02:43,160
The noise began to increase in 
volume and soon all four people 

1167
01:02:43,160 --> 01:02:45,200
heard it. 
Initially, the sounds were 

1168
01:02:45,200 --> 01:02:48,200
somewhat frightening, but after 
a period of time, the group of 

1169
01:02:48,200 --> 01:02:51,640
people began to relax, laughed 
and even loudly mocked the 

1170
01:02:51,640 --> 01:02:54,560
sounds. 
As the people continued their 

1171
01:02:54,560 --> 01:02:57,960
vocalizations, the strange 
sounds got even louder and the 

1172
01:02:57,960 --> 01:03:00,720
source seemed to be coming 
closer to their location. 

1173
01:03:01,680 --> 01:03:04,280
One fellow was concerned that 
the moaning sound might be 

1174
01:03:04,280 --> 01:03:07,920
coming from someone who was hurt
and much to his wife's distress,

1175
01:03:08,040 --> 01:03:09,680
stated that he was going to have
a look. 

1176
01:03:10,240 --> 01:03:13,520
She pleaded with him not to go. 
It was about then that the 

1177
01:03:13,520 --> 01:03:16,360
moaning sounds began to fade 
again and the couple began to 

1178
01:03:16,360 --> 01:03:18,360
relax and joked about what had 
happened. 

1179
01:03:19,200 --> 01:03:21,920
Then, out of the silence, they 
heard a rustling sound coming 

1180
01:03:21,920 --> 01:03:23,840
from their left near a baseball 
field. 

1181
01:03:24,520 --> 01:03:28,200
One man noticed that about 25 
yards away, something large and 

1182
01:03:28,200 --> 01:03:30,960
dark in colour appeared to be 
moving close to the ground. 

1183
01:03:31,680 --> 01:03:33,720
The group got up and looked in 
that direction. 

1184
01:03:34,160 --> 01:03:36,760
One of the men noticed that 
their friend's eyes were very 

1185
01:03:36,760 --> 01:03:38,960
large and he stared intently at 
something. 

1186
01:03:39,280 --> 01:03:43,480
That's when he saw it. 
Something huge, about 7 to 9 

1187
01:03:43,480 --> 01:03:48,000
feet tall was standing upright 
beside the baseball backstop. 1 

1188
01:03:48,000 --> 01:03:50,320
fellow yelled for everyone to 
get out of there. 

1189
01:03:50,640 --> 01:03:53,200
His friend, though, stood for a 
couple of minutes observing the 

1190
01:03:53,200 --> 01:03:55,960
strange creature that appeared 
to be motionless at this point, 

1191
01:03:56,160 --> 01:03:58,360
while the rest of the group 
slowly backed away. 

1192
01:03:58,800 --> 01:04:01,120
But when it began to move 
quickly toward the group with 

1193
01:04:01,120 --> 01:04:04,880
long strides and long arms 
swinging, fear overtook them and

1194
01:04:04,880 --> 01:04:07,480
they ran toward the road that 
led down the hillside. 

1195
01:04:07,800 --> 01:04:10,600
One woman began screaming and 
had to be pulled along by her 

1196
01:04:10,600 --> 01:04:13,840
husband to leave the area. 
After quickly reaching the 

1197
01:04:13,840 --> 01:04:17,000
bottom of the hill, they looked 
back and saw the lofty creature 

1198
01:04:17,000 --> 01:04:19,680
moving toward the hillside as 
though it was going to come down

1199
01:04:19,680 --> 01:04:22,760
the hill after them. 
They continued home and called 

1200
01:04:22,760 --> 01:04:24,840
the police. 
The police did go to the 

1201
01:04:24,840 --> 01:04:28,920
location but nothing was found. 
The description of what they saw

1202
01:04:28,920 --> 01:04:32,560
was that of a huge hair covered 
man like creature that stood 

1203
01:04:32,560 --> 01:04:37,320
between 7 to 9 feet tall and was
estimated to weigh between 350 

1204
01:04:37,320 --> 01:04:41,040
to 450 lbs. 
Dark fur covered its large 

1205
01:04:41,040 --> 01:04:45,400
muscular upper body and legs. 
Its arms were long and its hands

1206
01:04:45,480 --> 01:04:49,040
hung down below the knees. 
The creature at times appeared 

1207
01:04:49,040 --> 01:04:51,720
stooped and stood with its legs 
slightly bent. 

1208
01:04:52,320 --> 01:04:55,560
When it walked, it moved in a 
forward arm swinging motion with

1209
01:04:55,560 --> 01:04:58,960
an unusual gait. 
With each step, the right arm 

1210
01:04:58,960 --> 01:05:01,960
and right leg move forward and 
then the left arm and left leg 

1211
01:05:01,960 --> 01:05:04,920
move forward. 
The witnesses had no doubt that 

1212
01:05:04,920 --> 01:05:07,440
they saw a creature that was 
quite strange and unknown to 

1213
01:05:07,440 --> 01:05:09,760
them, and they knew it was not a
bear. 

1214
01:05:11,520 --> 01:05:15,320
While taking a walk on October 
30th, 1986, the witness came 

1215
01:05:15,320 --> 01:05:17,960
across a number of large strange
footprints. 

1216
01:05:19,320 --> 01:05:22,240
The family had purchased some 
horses and had erected a fence 

1217
01:05:22,240 --> 01:05:25,080
line around a few acres that 
past summer. 

1218
01:05:25,080 --> 01:05:27,880
The electric fence on the 
property had been broken on five

1219
01:05:27,880 --> 01:05:30,680
occasions. 
The top of the three wire fence 

1220
01:05:30,680 --> 01:05:33,720
was about four foot high. 
At times the top strand was 

1221
01:05:33,720 --> 01:05:36,680
broken, yet other times it would
be broken around the bottom. 

1222
01:05:37,280 --> 01:05:40,280
The man thought there was a 
possibility that somehow a horse

1223
01:05:40,280 --> 01:05:43,480
was doing this, but after his 
findings on that day he felt 

1224
01:05:43,480 --> 01:05:45,080
that something else was 
involved. 

1225
01:05:45,800 --> 01:05:48,280
In this instance. 
At the top of the hill, the four

1226
01:05:48,280 --> 01:05:51,640
foot high top wire on the fence 
was found broken alongside A 

1227
01:05:51,640 --> 01:05:55,520
crushed electric insulator. 
Alongside of this were three 

1228
01:05:55,520 --> 01:05:57,400
quite strange footprints on the 
ground. 

1229
01:05:57,840 --> 01:06:00,920
The footprints were 13 inches 
long and 8 inches wide. 

1230
01:06:02,040 --> 01:06:04,760
About two months earlier, a 
neighbor had been taking a walk 

1231
01:06:04,760 --> 01:06:08,680
up this particular hill when he 
heard an unusual sound like that

1232
01:06:08,680 --> 01:06:11,800
of an animal wheezing. 
Additionally, they also heard 

1233
01:06:11,800 --> 01:06:14,360
the sound of something heavy 
moving off through the woods. 

1234
01:06:15,000 --> 01:06:18,000
During the same time period, a 
rabbit was found with its neck 

1235
01:06:18,000 --> 01:06:20,640
broken. 
Also, 2 cats were found in an 

1236
01:06:20,640 --> 01:06:24,400
unusual manner, one with its 
intestines hanging out and the 

1237
01:06:24,400 --> 01:06:27,760
other with a broken neck. 
A woman who lived just down the 

1238
01:06:27,760 --> 01:06:30,640
road reportedly called the state
police when she heard a loud 

1239
01:06:30,640 --> 01:06:33,760
strange noise similar to a woman
screaming in pain. 

1240
01:06:34,440 --> 01:06:37,720
This area is located in the 
general region that has had a 

1241
01:06:37,720 --> 01:06:40,280
lot of Bigfoot activity reported
over the years. 

1242
01:06:42,360 --> 01:06:44,840
Three young men worked during 
the night and were driving down 

1243
01:06:44,840 --> 01:06:47,920
a rural Rd. when a hubcap came 
off their vehicle and rolled 

1244
01:06:47,920 --> 01:06:51,560
across the road into a field in 
the vicinity of some old cars. 

1245
01:06:52,240 --> 01:06:55,280
A short time later they returned
to the area to try to recover 

1246
01:06:55,280 --> 01:06:59,120
the missing hubcap. 
The vehicle was parked about 250

1247
01:06:59,120 --> 01:07:02,400
feet from the field. 1 fellow 
remained inside the car. 

1248
01:07:02,560 --> 01:07:04,800
The other two began to search 
for the wheel cover. 

1249
01:07:05,560 --> 01:07:08,600
After a short time the silence 
was suddenly broken by an odd 

1250
01:07:08,600 --> 01:07:12,640
sound described as being like 
metal on metal and then by what 

1251
01:07:12,640 --> 01:07:16,320
seemed to be a growl from a dog.
They moved slowly away from the 

1252
01:07:16,320 --> 01:07:18,120
spot. 
The one fellow yelled to his 

1253
01:07:18,120 --> 01:07:20,880
companion to stop as he saw 
something moving ahead. 

1254
01:07:21,520 --> 01:07:24,440
Fear engulfed the two men when 
one of them shined a flashlight 

1255
01:07:24,440 --> 01:07:28,240
on the source of the noise. 
What they saw was not a dog, but

1256
01:07:28,240 --> 01:07:31,760
a huge white hair covered ape 
like creature rising up from the

1257
01:07:31,760 --> 01:07:34,520
ground. 
A feeling of panic came over 1 

1258
01:07:34,520 --> 01:07:36,680
fellow as the creature stared at
the two men. 

1259
01:07:36,840 --> 01:07:39,880
The man quickly ran off toward 
the parked vehicle and yelled to

1260
01:07:39,880 --> 01:07:42,040
the driver in the vehicle to 
start the motor. 

1261
01:07:42,440 --> 01:07:45,120
The other man continued to stare
at the creature for what seemed 

1262
01:07:45,120 --> 01:07:48,360
like unending moments then 
quickly ran off as well. 

1263
01:07:48,880 --> 01:07:51,840
As the trio pulled away, one of 
the fellows told his friends 

1264
01:07:51,880 --> 01:07:55,240
that he had dropped his father's
expensive knife and some keys as

1265
01:07:55,240 --> 01:07:57,720
well. 
As they passed near the location

1266
01:07:57,720 --> 01:08:00,120
where they had seen the 
creature, the lost items were 

1267
01:08:00,120 --> 01:08:02,960
not seen, so they pulled off to 
see if they could spot them. 

1268
01:08:03,320 --> 01:08:05,480
They were not located and they 
left the area. 

1269
01:08:06,320 --> 01:08:10,080
Then another odd event occurred.
As they left the scene and drove

1270
01:08:10,080 --> 01:08:13,400
just a short distance, an 
upscale red and silver Chevy 

1271
01:08:13,400 --> 01:08:16,720
dual wheel truck passed them in 
the opposite direction at a fast

1272
01:08:16,720 --> 01:08:19,359
pace. 
The trio watched as this truck 

1273
01:08:19,359 --> 01:08:22,080
pulled onto a side Rd., then 
turned around and began to 

1274
01:08:22,080 --> 01:08:25,479
follow them down the road. 
The Chevy truck increased its 

1275
01:08:25,479 --> 01:08:28,359
speed and came right up to the 
rear bumper of their vehicle, 

1276
01:08:28,640 --> 01:08:30,880
keeping that position for about 
1/2 mile. 

1277
01:08:31,479 --> 01:08:34,080
Each man in the car had the 
feeling that whoever was in the 

1278
01:08:34,080 --> 01:08:36,439
truck was obtaining their 
license number. 

1279
01:08:37,279 --> 01:08:40,200
Finally, the truck stopped 
abruptly on the roadway, started

1280
01:08:40,200 --> 01:08:43,680
backing up, turned its lights 
off, and backed onto a side Rd. 

1281
01:08:44,319 --> 01:08:47,319
The three witnesses continued on
to one of their residences. 

1282
01:08:47,840 --> 01:08:50,840
When discussing the events, 2 of
them decided to go back to the 

1283
01:08:50,840 --> 01:08:53,600
location where they saw the 
creature in order to find the 

1284
01:08:53,600 --> 01:08:56,720
knife and keys as well to see if
they could spot the creature 

1285
01:08:56,720 --> 01:09:00,680
again and determine what it was.
The third man had no interest in

1286
01:09:00,680 --> 01:09:03,520
returning to look around, so he 
stayed at the residence. 

1287
01:09:04,359 --> 01:09:07,160
One of the men was very proud of
his car, which he had put a lot 

1288
01:09:07,160 --> 01:09:10,120
of work into and which was 
equipped with a modified high 

1289
01:09:10,120 --> 01:09:12,960
speed engine. 
The two men drove the car back 

1290
01:09:12,960 --> 01:09:15,800
to the field area. 
The men also took with them a 

1291
01:09:15,800 --> 01:09:18,319
car headlight that they had 
converted to use as a 

1292
01:09:18,319 --> 01:09:21,680
high-powered spotlight. 
When they arrived they shined 

1293
01:09:21,680 --> 01:09:25,319
the spotlight around the field 
and the old vehicles and a short

1294
01:09:25,319 --> 01:09:27,479
time later the creature appeared
again. 

1295
01:09:28,080 --> 01:09:30,439
The beam of light was directed 
on the creature. 

1296
01:09:30,800 --> 01:09:34,000
This time the two men got a good
look at the mysterious beast. 

1297
01:09:34,600 --> 01:09:37,240
The blinding light was 
concentrated on its head area 

1298
01:09:37,439 --> 01:09:40,040
and the beast appeared to be 
getting agitated by the bright 

1299
01:09:40,040 --> 01:09:42,840
beam. 
Walking upright on 2 legs, it 

1300
01:09:42,840 --> 01:09:45,760
began to chase the car and go 
within about 3 feet from the 

1301
01:09:45,760 --> 01:09:48,399
rear bumper. 
It continued to follow them for 

1302
01:09:48,399 --> 01:09:51,720
a short distance as they pulled 
away from it and left the area. 

1303
01:09:52,600 --> 01:09:55,040
The creature was observed in 
several different positions 

1304
01:09:55,040 --> 01:09:58,440
during the various events, such 
as first stooped and then later 

1305
01:09:58,440 --> 01:10:01,520
on all fours and also walking 
upright like a human. 

1306
01:10:02,040 --> 01:10:04,760
The sound of something heavy was
apparent when the creature moved

1307
01:10:04,760 --> 01:10:07,720
across the ground. 
The men described the creature 

1308
01:10:07,720 --> 01:10:11,440
as standing at least nine feet 
tall, ape like in appearance and

1309
01:10:11,440 --> 01:10:14,520
covered with long white hair 
about 8 to 10 inches long. 

1310
01:10:15,240 --> 01:10:18,320
Another outstanding physical 
feature was the length of its 

1311
01:10:18,320 --> 01:10:21,440
arms which were so long that 
they hung down to the knees or 

1312
01:10:21,440 --> 01:10:24,600
just below them. 
The creature was quite muscular 

1313
01:10:24,600 --> 01:10:27,520
and broad shouldered. 
The observers did notice that 

1314
01:10:27,520 --> 01:10:30,880
the eyes, which seemed pinkish 
in colour, appeared almost egg 

1315
01:10:30,880 --> 01:10:33,080
shaped. 
The creature did not seem to 

1316
01:10:33,080 --> 01:10:36,200
have any neck. 
The final encounter with the 

1317
01:10:36,200 --> 01:10:38,120
creature that night was most 
dramatic. 

1318
01:10:38,480 --> 01:10:41,840
The owner of the modified engine
car decided to make one last 

1319
01:10:41,840 --> 01:10:44,760
attempt on his own to find the 
knife and keys he had dropped in

1320
01:10:44,760 --> 01:10:47,320
the field. 
He returned alone and drove 

1321
01:10:47,320 --> 01:10:50,840
slowly past the area, not seeing
the strange creature. 

1322
01:10:50,920 --> 01:10:53,440
He pulled into the field and 
soon spotted the knife. 

1323
01:10:53,920 --> 01:10:57,040
He never got out of his car, but
opened the door, reached out and

1324
01:10:57,040 --> 01:10:59,880
grabbed the knife. 
He kept driving around the area 

1325
01:10:59,880 --> 01:11:02,040
quite slowly, trying to locate 
the keys. 

1326
01:11:02,480 --> 01:11:05,240
Then suddenly he felt a heavy 
thump toward the rear of his 

1327
01:11:05,240 --> 01:11:07,880
car. 
The driver looked into his rear 

1328
01:11:07,880 --> 01:11:11,080
mirror and was shocked to see 
the huge hairy creature leaning 

1329
01:11:11,080 --> 01:11:14,000
on the back of the car, peering 
at him through the rear window. 

1330
01:11:14,480 --> 01:11:16,280
His eyes seemed to have a 
reddish glow. 

1331
01:11:16,880 --> 01:11:19,920
The driver pushed down hard on 
the gas, trying to quickly exit 

1332
01:11:19,920 --> 01:11:22,080
the area, but the car wouldn't 
move. 

1333
01:11:23,160 --> 01:11:25,880
As the man continued to hit the 
gas, the sound from his 

1334
01:11:25,880 --> 01:11:27,960
tailpipes was getting louder by 
the moment. 

1335
01:11:28,440 --> 01:11:31,320
Suddenly, the creature was no 
longer on the car and he was 

1336
01:11:31,320 --> 01:11:35,240
able to make a quick getaway. 
The man felt certain that it was

1337
01:11:35,240 --> 01:11:38,000
the car's high pitched noise 
that finally made the creature 

1338
01:11:38,000 --> 01:11:41,080
leave the vehicle alone. 
The man later found a 

1339
01:11:41,080 --> 01:11:43,920
convenience store open and went 
inside to get something to eat 

1340
01:11:43,920 --> 01:11:47,000
and destress. 
He parked his car nearby so that

1341
01:11:47,000 --> 01:11:50,360
he could keep an eye on it. 
When he returned to his car, he 

1342
01:11:50,360 --> 01:11:52,720
saw several teenagers checking 
out his car. 

1343
01:11:53,160 --> 01:11:55,840
He became more alarmed after 
they asked him if he had been 

1344
01:11:55,840 --> 01:11:58,720
attacked by some kind of animal 
as there appeared to be claw 

1345
01:11:58,720 --> 01:12:00,280
marks on the back of the 
vehicle. 

1346
01:12:00,800 --> 01:12:04,360
The man looked and there in the 
paint and metal on the rear of 

1347
01:12:04,360 --> 01:12:06,640
the vehicle were two long 
scratches. 

1348
01:12:07,840 --> 01:12:10,760
The day after the incident, the 
driver went back to the location

1349
01:12:10,760 --> 01:12:13,800
of the strange encounter. 
During the daylight, the ground 

1350
01:12:13,800 --> 01:12:16,880
was hard from the cold weather 
and no footprints could be seen 

1351
01:12:16,880 --> 01:12:19,880
where the creature had been. 
After. 

1352
01:12:19,880 --> 01:12:22,440
A researcher spoke with the 
initial caller about the events 

1353
01:12:22,440 --> 01:12:24,720
that happened. 
He made contact with the others 

1354
01:12:24,720 --> 01:12:27,280
involved and made arrangements 
to meet later that day for an 

1355
01:12:27,280 --> 01:12:30,400
interview and to examine and 
photograph the damaged car. 

1356
01:12:31,120 --> 01:12:33,840
The second party he talked with 
by phone was the man who 

1357
01:12:33,840 --> 01:12:36,600
accompanied the driver of the 
car with the modified engine, 

1358
01:12:36,720 --> 01:12:38,680
who had shined the spotlight on 
the creature. 

1359
01:12:39,440 --> 01:12:41,840
They discussed the events and 
set up a time to meet. 

1360
01:12:42,680 --> 01:12:45,840
The researcher later learned 
that other intriguing events had

1361
01:12:45,840 --> 01:12:48,720
taken place with two of the 
witnesses shortly after their 

1362
01:12:48,720 --> 01:12:51,400
phone calls. 
Apparently, about 10 minutes 

1363
01:12:51,400 --> 01:12:54,360
after he had spoken with the 
second party on the phone, the 

1364
01:12:54,360 --> 01:12:56,560
witness received a disturbing 
phone call. 

1365
01:12:57,400 --> 01:12:59,560
At best, he could remember, the 
caller said. 

1366
01:12:59,840 --> 01:13:02,880
This is field agent name 
protected from the Federal 

1367
01:13:02,880 --> 01:13:06,200
Bureau of Investigation about 
the incidents last night. 

1368
01:13:06,400 --> 01:13:09,840
Forget about what you saw, and I
strongly suggest that you don't 

1369
01:13:09,840 --> 01:13:12,040
talk any further with anyone 
about it. 

1370
01:13:12,520 --> 01:13:15,880
Then the caller hung up. 
The other man received a phone 

1371
01:13:15,880 --> 01:13:19,280
message that reportedly said 
stay away, leave it alone, 

1372
01:13:19,360 --> 01:13:22,320
forget about it. 
He was also informed by his 

1373
01:13:22,320 --> 01:13:25,680
relatives that some men drove up
to the house in a Chevy Caprice 

1374
01:13:25,680 --> 01:13:29,120
car often used by law 
enforcement at the time, and two

1375
01:13:29,120 --> 01:13:31,720
men were in each vehicle and 
they wanted to talk with the 

1376
01:13:31,720 --> 01:13:34,160
fellow who was driving the car 
during the previous night's 

1377
01:13:34,160 --> 01:13:37,200
incident. 
After these occurrences, the men

1378
01:13:37,200 --> 01:13:41,120
were not contacted again. 
Whether or not it was actually 

1379
01:13:41,120 --> 01:13:44,280
the FBI that was involved with 
the incident is unconfirmed. 

1380
01:13:44,720 --> 01:13:47,640
The researcher did write a 
letter to the Pittsburgh FBI 

1381
01:13:47,640 --> 01:13:49,760
office, but never received a 
reply. 

1382
01:13:50,600 --> 01:13:53,640
Regardless of who these 
mysterious people were, how did 

1383
01:13:53,640 --> 01:13:56,160
they learn of this incident and 
how do they know that the 

1384
01:13:56,160 --> 01:13:58,480
witnesses had contacted the 
researcher? 

1385
01:14:01,200 --> 01:14:04,480
Thanks for listening everyone. 
Don't forget my books are all 

1386
01:14:04,480 --> 01:14:07,920
for sale, audio and written. 
The links are in the description

1387
01:14:07,920 --> 01:14:09,640
below. 
Thanks again. 

1388
01:14:09,880 --> 01:14:10,520
Take care.
