In this episode we're talking 6 00:00:16,400 --> 00:00:18,520 about a Pennsylvania Bigfoot roundup. 7 00:00:18,560 --> 00:00:21,600 That's correct, a Pennsylvania Bigfoot roundup. 8 00:00:21,840 --> 00:00:26,680 Now I found these cases over at bfro.net. 9 00:00:26,960 --> 00:00:29,880 That's Bigfoot Field Researchers Organization. 10 00:00:30,160 --> 00:00:31,600 It's a pretty awesome sight actually. 11 00:00:32,080 --> 00:00:35,480 This first sighting they tell us happened on March 4th. 12 00:00:35,480 --> 00:00:40,000 It was a Sunday in back in 2012. Now it happened in Pennsylvania 13 00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:43,840 of course in Allegheny County. Location location details it 14 00:00:43,840 --> 00:00:45,880 says please do not post this information. 15 00:00:45,880 --> 00:00:48,440 This is a secure residence for the elderly. 16 00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:53,520 Interesting. Nearest town Bethel Park, PA and 17 00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:56,280 then it says nearest Rd. withheld due to privacy 18 00:00:56,280 --> 00:00:58,280 concerns. Well, I can totally understand 19 00:00:58,280 --> 00:00:59,720 that. If this was witnessed near a 20 00:00:59,720 --> 00:01:03,120 bunch of old folks, maybe they don't want that just all over 21 00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:05,600 the Internet. They begin by telling us that on 22 00:01:05,600 --> 00:01:10,400 March 4th, 2012, at approximately 830 AMI had a 23 00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:14,440 visual sighting. It was cold, snowy, a bit 24 00:01:14,440 --> 00:01:17,920 overcast and a bit windy with the temperature approximately 25 00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:22,280 28° to 30° outside. I was sitting in my mother's 26 00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:26,240 apartment on the 4th floor watching TV when I happened to 27 00:01:26,240 --> 00:01:30,760 look out the window and counted 15 full grown turkeys moving 28 00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:33,160 down the hill adjacent to her apartment building. 29 00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:36,440 They were not running, but we're not taking their time either. 30 00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:40,280 I would like to say it is not unusual to see two or three 31 00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:43,840 turkeys at a time coming down the hill, but fifteen were out 32 00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:47,400 of the ordinary. A short time later, 3 deer came 33 00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:50,640 walking down the hill in the same maneuver as the turkeys, 34 00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:53,440 not actually running, but not walking either. 35 00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:57,040 I did not think anything unusual was happening, but I was 36 00:01:57,040 --> 00:01:59,160 surprised at the number of turkeys at the time. 37 00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:02,800 I asked my mother, who had lived there for several years, if she 38 00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:05,360 had seen that many at one time and she said no. 39 00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:09,840 My mother who was 80 years old, my wife who was 38 years old, my 40 00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:13,760 son was 11 years old, and I53 watched the turkeys walk across 41 00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:16,920 the parking lot and out of sight down by the church. 42 00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:21,440 I did not summon my family to see the deer as 3 deer were no 43 00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:24,200 big deal. Less than 5 minutes after the 44 00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:27,400 turkeys and deer left the area, I was still sitting in my 45 00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:30,760 mother's room watching TV when I caught a glimpse of something 46 00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:34,600 out of the corner of my eye. I looked and saw a very large, 47 00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:38,800 very hairy animal that is unknown to me near the top of 48 00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:42,600 the hill. The animal was on all fours and 49 00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:45,760 near the top of the hill. It took about 3 strides before 50 00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:50,240 it reached the top of the hill, stood up, made a right turn and 51 00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:52,640 ran on 2 feet into the forest part of the field. 52 00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:56,240 It did not stand fully erect, more like 2/3 erect. 53 00:02:56,720 --> 00:03:00,000 The total time I had eyes on that creature was approximately 54 00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:03,480 7 seconds. Since that day I have tried to 55 00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:06,960 figure out what it could have been and I have no answer. 56 00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:10,720 Honestly, the best I can say is that it looked like a gorilla. 57 00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:14,760 Please understand that when I was younger I was a hunter. 58 00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:17,600 I did a lot of deer hunting and bear hunting in the Allegheny 59 00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:19,880 Mountains and have seen many animals. 60 00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:22,520 But I have never seen anything like this. 61 00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:26,360 I was a police officer for over 20 years and have been trained 62 00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:29,040 in observing my surroundings and articulating reports. 63 00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:32,920 South Park is not far from my mother's apartment building as 64 00:03:32,920 --> 00:03:36,600 full of wildlife and trees. In my mind, I feel as though the 65 00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:41,040 creature was responsible for chasing the turkeys and deer out 66 00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:43,640 of the woods. It may have been very hungry and 67 00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:47,080 chase them too far not realizing it had made its way into a 68 00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:49,920 populated area. When I saw it, it was trying to 69 00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:54,680 get back to the forest. Wow that's that's just crazy. 70 00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:57,480 So the guy's just sitting there and his old folks home at his 71 00:03:57,480 --> 00:03:59,200 mom's apartment. Sounds like maybe it's like a an 72 00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:00,720 independent living center or something. 73 00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:03,960 Looks out and sees he's Turkey and deer making their way down 74 00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:06,560 the hill and the next thing you know he spots his Bigfoot. 75 00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:08,600 This is headed back into the forest it says. 76 00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:11,000 Also notice Turkey and deer leaving the area. 77 00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:13,360 No, I did not call the family to see the animal. 78 00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:15,840 I was too stunned to call them other stories. 79 00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:20,880 No time and conditions Sunday, March 4th, 2012 at approximately 80 00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:25,600 8:30 AM It was cold, snowy, bit overcast and bit windy and 81 00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:29,520 approximately 28 to 30° outside environment. 82 00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:31,960 Residential forest on the backside of the residence. 83 00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:36,840 Now the follow up, says investigator Robert G Gorny. 84 00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:40,880 I met with a witness on May 6th, 2012 at the place of the 85 00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:42,960 sighting. He was eager to go over the 86 00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:47,160 details and added several more. The subject was a bit taller 87 00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:52,680 than six feet and approximately 250 to 350 lbs with a massive 88 00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:55,560 upper body build. It was covered in dark brown 89 00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:59,920 hair, approximately 4 to 6 inches long, but not around the 90 00:04:59,920 --> 00:05:02,480 upper face. He could see that the skin was 91 00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:06,360 dark tan or it was more visible. He surmised the subject was 92 00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:09,440 following the turkeys and deer that preceded it by several 93 00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:12,520 minutes, then was surprised by the open area it found itself 94 00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:15,040 in, causing it to scramble for cover. 95 00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:18,920 He also had the idea that the subject was younger and perhaps 96 00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:21,200 new to the area. The distance from the window to 97 00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:24,720 the subject was approximately 150 feet, with the window being 98 00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:27,320 only slightly above the level of the object. 99 00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:30,200 The area of the siding is in the middle of the southern suburbs 100 00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:33,440 of Pittsburgh, near a county park with suitable forage and 101 00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:36,720 coverage for a long, perhaps transient animal. 102 00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:39,640 That is really something. Just couldn't imagine being 103 00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:42,680 there in a fourth floor, 4th floor apartment like that, 104 00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:44,160 looking out and seeing this thing. 105 00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:46,800 Let's go ahead and take it a look at another one here. 106 00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:51,400 This sighting is dated November 2004, Sylvania, Allegheny 107 00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:53,240 County. Again, location details a 108 00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:56,520 steadily disappearing forested area near Pittsburgh 109 00:05:56,560 --> 00:05:58,240 International Airport. Rd. 110 00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:00,520 Names withheld at the request of the witness. 111 00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:03,480 Nearest town Moon Township Nearest Rd. 112 00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:07,880 Flaherty Run Rd. Now the witness tells us it was 113 00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:12,160 observed about 4:30 AM and I had just settled into my tree stand 114 00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:15,200 for a day of hunting. It was extremely quiet, which 115 00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:18,840 was the first thing I noticed. It was around 5:00 AM when I 116 00:06:18,840 --> 00:06:22,280 heard what sounded like a log being hit with another log. 117 00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:26,160 I brushed it off as something going on at the new construction 118 00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:30,120 site on top of the hill. Around 5:20 AMI heard something 119 00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:33,160 walking back to my left toward the top of the hill I was on. 120 00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:38,200 I was about 1/4 of the way up the hill and this noise was near 121 00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:41,160 the top. I knew The Walking was bipedal 122 00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:44,960 and at this point I got very angry about somebody trespassing 123 00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:47,280 and ruining my day of deer hunting. 124 00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:52,360 As the noise got closer the sun was just up for me to see the 125 00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:56,640 silhouette of a huge man walking across the top of the Ridge. 126 00:06:57,080 --> 00:07:00,400 I looked at him through my binoculars and it wasn't any man 127 00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:04,240 I know. This Bigfoot had to be 7 feet 5 128 00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:07,440 inches tall and at least 650 lbs. 129 00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:10,560 He was dark brown or black in color but I couldn't tell 130 00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:14,240 exactly due to the lighting I wasn't able to make out facial 131 00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:16,920 features. His hair was maybe 2 inches long 132 00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:20,120 and his hands were definitely below knee level. 133 00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:23,920 I put my binoculars down and it was then that he must have 134 00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:26,880 noticed something. Within 3 strides he disappeared 135 00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:30,640 into the Grapevine thicket. The entire sighting lasted maybe 136 00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:33,560 15 seconds. Well that's incredible. 137 00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:38,480 Now if we go back and look at what the investigator said, 138 00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:43,160 other witnesses, unfortunately no other stories in about 2005 139 00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:45,960 without spotting. Heard a loud scream that lasted 140 00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:48,520 5 seconds but that was all time and condition. 141 00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:51,760 Sunrise started with a knocking at 4:30 AM. 142 00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:54,920 Hardwoods with a Creek bottom below to my right. 143 00:07:55,720 --> 00:07:59,600 Follow up investigation reported by BFRO investigator Robert 144 00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:01,920 Gorney. I spoke with the witness by 145 00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:04,520 phone and he had some details to add to the report. 146 00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:09,000 The witness saw the figure at a distance of approximately 275 to 147 00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:11,880 300 yards. There have been other times 148 00:08:11,880 --> 00:08:14,960 while hunting in the same area where the witness felt like he 149 00:08:14,960 --> 00:08:17,800 was being watched. A neighbor of the witness has 150 00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:21,640 described hearing hyena laughter on occasion behind her house. 151 00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:25,320 The father of the witness was chopping wood one afternoon when 152 00:08:25,320 --> 00:08:27,520 a number of rocks were thrown in his direction. 153 00:08:27,880 --> 00:08:30,920 He thought it was his son, but his son was not in the area 154 00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:32,280 where the rocks were coming from. 155 00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:35,840 The location is less than two miles from the property of the 156 00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:37,640 Pittsburgh International Airport. 157 00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:40,480 I plan on visiting the area with the witness to look for any 158 00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:44,039 signs of ongoing activity. That's pretty neat. 159 00:08:44,039 --> 00:08:45,880 We'll go ahead and take a look at another one here. 160 00:08:46,160 --> 00:08:50,080 This next sighting is from August 19th, 2014. 161 00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:52,320 Tells us summer, of course. Pennsylvania. 162 00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:54,240 I need McKean County location details. 163 00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:58,440 Pacific directions omitted. Nearest town Bradford, PA, east 164 00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:01,280 of Bradford. Now the witness here tells us 165 00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:06,520 that my wife and I took in early evening stroll on private land 166 00:09:06,520 --> 00:09:09,760 by our residents. We arrived at a campsite around 167 00:09:09,760 --> 00:09:12,840 7:15 AM. As we were sitting on a picnic 168 00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:16,040 table, we looked out over a small pond and noticed a leaf on 169 00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:19,520 a tree fluttering very fast, as if someone was intentionally 170 00:09:19,520 --> 00:09:22,400 moving it. There was absolutely no wind at 171 00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:24,920 all. To the right of this leaf was a 172 00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:28,280 very large black mass moving back and forth methodically. 173 00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:31,800 It was between a couple of medium sized trees blocking out 174 00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:34,480 the background. Behind it the sun was hitting 175 00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:37,960 the exact spot and you could clearly see a large black mass 176 00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:41,960 at least 7 feet tall, 4 feet wide just swaying back and 177 00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:44,640 forth. We both witnessed this from 178 00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:48,480 about 30 yards away and my wife said the face look like a 179 00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:50,800 gorillas. All I could focus on was the 180 00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:53,480 immense size of the body. This is not the first time we 181 00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:57,160 had encountered something. I filed a report back in 2013 182 00:09:57,160 --> 00:10:02,720 which yielded a call from BFRO then it says in two, 2013 I 183 00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:08,160 noticed footprints and sent pictures to BFRO and received a 184 00:10:08,160 --> 00:10:11,120 call from them. My wife saw a large black 185 00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:14,040 silhouette across the entire Rd. in 2013 as well. 186 00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:17,720 We also found three breaks and stick structures. 187 00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:21,520 Other witnesses, just my wife and I, other stories, and the 188 00:10:21,520 --> 00:10:24,480 representative from BFR, whose name I can't recall, said that 189 00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:29,160 the area was a seasonal hotspot for reports in Pennsylvania. 190 00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:31,760 And then it's this time and condition. 7:15 PM. 191 00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:34,600 Clear, sunny and mild in the 70s environment. 192 00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:36,880 Heavily forested. Some areas were logged years 193 00:10:36,880 --> 00:10:39,520 ago. Hardwood, deciduous trees and 194 00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:41,600 conifers. Pretty wild. 195 00:10:41,880 --> 00:10:44,480 Now, if we go down here and look and see what the investigator 196 00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:46,200 had to say, they tell, they tell us. 197 00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:49,400 The witness and his wife live on a remote property in a rural 198 00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:51,720 area of McKean County near Bedford, Bradford. 199 00:10:51,800 --> 00:10:55,120 Over the past several years they have experienced a number of 200 00:10:55,120 --> 00:10:57,720 interesting occurrences including two brief visual 201 00:10:57,720 --> 00:11:01,160 encounters near their home and speaking to both witnesses. 202 00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:04,800 The husband and wife have both observed a large dark figure 203 00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:07,920 with a gorilla like face observing them while swaying 204 00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:12,080 methodically from the shadows at a distance of 30 yards this past 205 00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:14,800 August. This recent sighting prompted 206 00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:19,320 the husband and wife to contact the BFRO and LED to the details 207 00:11:19,320 --> 00:11:22,000 within this report. The couple stated that they had 208 00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:25,600 started to notice and discuss late night vocalizations past 209 00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:27,200 midnight in the woods near their home. 210 00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:32,240 In August of 2013, the wife was driving home on a wet and rainy 211 00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:35,640 night when she saw a large black figure in the headlights leap 212 00:11:35,640 --> 00:11:37,360 across the driveway in two steps. 213 00:11:37,920 --> 00:11:42,680 She noticed that she clearly saw that it was bipedal and was 214 00:11:42,680 --> 00:11:45,080 traveling on two legs. With a distinguished leaping 215 00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:48,320 motion, it leaped across the ditch to the side of the drive, 216 00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:50,840 landed on both feet in the center of the driveway. 217 00:11:51,160 --> 00:11:55,280 It then bounded a second time and disappeared Into Darkness of 218 00:11:55,280 --> 00:11:57,880 the woods. It happened so quickly that she 219 00:11:57,880 --> 00:12:01,640 could only describe a dark large black figure jumping across the 220 00:12:01,640 --> 00:12:04,480 driveway. She described the counter to her 221 00:12:04,480 --> 00:12:07,400 husband as they began to research the possibility of 222 00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:11,160 Bigfoot in Pennsylvania online. The husband stated that he had 223 00:12:11,160 --> 00:12:13,440 been interested in the subject since she was a child. 224 00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:16,200 As a result of their research, they began to give their 225 00:12:16,200 --> 00:12:19,360 experiences to date more credence, especially the recent 226 00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:21,440 large figure crossing the driveway at night. 227 00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:25,280 As the late night vocals continued, they began to hear 228 00:12:25,280 --> 00:12:28,040 knocking sounds coming from the woods and behind their house. 229 00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:31,800 The couple then began to more earnestly explore the woods in 230 00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:34,920 the daytime looking for evidence and signs. 231 00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:39,680 In November of 2013, they again heard vocalizations at night 232 00:12:39,680 --> 00:12:42,200 near their home. After hearing screams around 233 00:12:42,200 --> 00:12:44,720 4:00 AM. The husband ventured out into 234 00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:48,000 the woods the following day on November 6th and found several 235 00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:50,280 tracks. He measured the tracks and they 236 00:12:50,280 --> 00:12:53,920 measured 14 1/2 to 15 inches with the width of five inches. 237 00:12:54,400 --> 00:12:56,560 And then it has. Here's one of the photos. 1 238 00:12:56,560 --> 00:12:59,760 evening this past midnight in August of this past year, the 239 00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:02,640 husband heard activity in the yard while lying in bed. 240 00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:05,560 I had rain. It had rained heavily and he was 241 00:13:05,560 --> 00:13:08,640 awakened by the sound of heavy footballs that could be heard 242 00:13:08,640 --> 00:13:11,160 from the bedroom. The witness described that he 243 00:13:11,160 --> 00:13:14,440 could audibly hear the squishing of the water from the footsteps. 244 00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:18,800 The dog was on the bed and had its hair bristling and standing 245 00:13:18,800 --> 00:13:20,680 up. The next morning, the witness 246 00:13:20,680 --> 00:13:24,280 found deep impressions in the yard 15 feet from the bedroom. 247 00:13:24,560 --> 00:13:27,440 Here are a couple of photos. It's got some pictures here. 248 00:13:27,440 --> 00:13:31,000 I guess there is a healthy bear population in the area. 249 00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:33,200 It's hard to say for sure what made these. 250 00:13:33,440 --> 00:13:37,520 The witnesses described finding green tree breaks, twist and a 251 00:13:37,520 --> 00:13:40,840 stick structure they found strange in the area after this 252 00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:43,000 event. Within the past month, objects 253 00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:44,800 have started to be thrown at the house. 254 00:13:45,160 --> 00:13:49,240 One recent night in August, around 3:00 AM, the husband was 255 00:13:49,240 --> 00:13:52,000 woken by the sound of something hitting the side of the house. 256 00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:55,040 The next morning, he found a stone approximately the size of 257 00:13:55,280 --> 00:13:57,520 #2 gravel lying next to the house. 258 00:13:57,800 --> 00:14:00,800 The couple described that after this week, the family dog has 259 00:14:01,240 --> 00:14:05,000 begun to act strangely. The mixed breed pup has begun to 260 00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:07,440 stare out the window in the evening for periods of time. 261 00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:10,360 They would look into the woods to study the area, but we're not 262 00:14:10,360 --> 00:14:14,360 able to see anything. On August 19th, 2014, the couple 263 00:14:14,360 --> 00:14:17,720 decided to take a walk into the woods to look for anything 264 00:14:17,800 --> 00:14:20,280 peculiar. There is a campsite in the 265 00:14:20,280 --> 00:14:22,000 nearby woods on private property. 266 00:14:22,400 --> 00:14:25,840 The site has a pond, a picnic table, and a fire ring. 267 00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:30,280 Around 7:15 PM, the couple were sitting across from each other 268 00:14:30,280 --> 00:14:33,640 at the picnic table. The female witness noticed the 269 00:14:33,640 --> 00:14:37,960 fluttering of leaves from the nearby tree line as the moving 270 00:14:37,960 --> 00:14:41,400 foliage caught her attention. She then noticed the form of a 271 00:14:41,400 --> 00:14:45,000 very large dark creature peeking through the trees at them at a 272 00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:48,040 distance of 30 yards. She could see the creature from 273 00:14:48,040 --> 00:14:51,120 the waist up, and it was swaying back and forth in the shadows. 274 00:14:51,440 --> 00:14:54,040 She described the creature's face as like a gorilla. 275 00:14:54,520 --> 00:14:57,680 The lady witness then told her husband to slowly look into the 276 00:14:57,680 --> 00:15:01,560 woods over his shoulder. He briefly saw the dark figure 277 00:15:01,560 --> 00:15:04,360 swaying methodically, and then it seemed to step back into the 278 00:15:04,360 --> 00:15:06,280 shadows to disappear without a sound. 279 00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:09,880 I interviewed both witnesses. They described the creature as 280 00:15:09,880 --> 00:15:12,560 dark in color with a height at a minimum of seven feet. 281 00:15:13,080 --> 00:15:15,000 Only the missus saw the face of the creature. 282 00:15:15,440 --> 00:15:18,040 The man stated that he was initially focused on the body 283 00:15:18,040 --> 00:15:22,200 and its side and its size. They described very broad 284 00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:26,520 shoulders 4 feet across. They saw hair hanging in its 285 00:15:26,520 --> 00:15:29,840 silhouette and could see that it was moving in a swaying motion. 286 00:15:30,280 --> 00:15:33,320 The man and his wife were surprised at how it seemed to 287 00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:36,640 melt away or vanish so quickly without any sound. 288 00:15:37,400 --> 00:15:40,280 I inquired about the eyes, of which they were not able to 289 00:15:40,280 --> 00:15:43,840 provide any details. It does not appear that the 290 00:15:43,840 --> 00:15:48,040 creature decided to show or reveal itself and was watching 291 00:15:48,040 --> 00:15:49,640 them at the picnic table from the woods. 292 00:15:49,840 --> 00:15:52,960 The witnesses feel that their activities encounters seem to be 293 00:15:52,960 --> 00:15:56,200 seasonal, occurring at the same time of year. 294 00:15:56,280 --> 00:15:59,880 Their property is located down a long drive and is surrounded by 295 00:15:59,880 --> 00:16:02,320 woods. There is a pool and a shed near 296 00:16:02,320 --> 00:16:04,320 the house. The witnesses were very 297 00:16:04,320 --> 00:16:07,640 pleasant, forthright and honest and speaking with them 298 00:16:07,640 --> 00:16:10,360 concerning their experiences. They do not feel threatened by 299 00:16:10,360 --> 00:16:12,520 their visitors. They also feel that there is 300 00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:15,720 more than one due to the vocalizations, tree lock 301 00:16:15,720 --> 00:16:18,320 communication, and varying sizes of tract evidence. 302 00:16:18,720 --> 00:16:21,520 The dog continues to act strangely and the couple 303 00:16:21,520 --> 00:16:24,520 continue to keep attuned to activity in the area. 304 00:16:24,920 --> 00:16:28,080 I spoke to him this past week and he stated that they continue 305 00:16:28,080 --> 00:16:30,240 to hear vocalizations in the evening. 306 00:16:30,560 --> 00:16:33,240 Due to the activity seeming to come in the fall. 307 00:16:33,240 --> 00:16:36,200 We discussed his feeling that the creatures were in the area 308 00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:39,000 for the late summer, early summer corn and apple crop. 309 00:16:39,560 --> 00:16:43,720 The incidents seem to halt when Pennsylvania deer season starts 310 00:16:43,720 --> 00:16:46,720 in late November. I encourage them to contact me 311 00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:50,680 with any reoccurring activity. That's pretty cool. 312 00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:53,280 OK, we'll do a couple more here before we wrap this up. 313 00:16:54,640 --> 00:16:59,400 This study goes back to September 1973, it says. 314 00:16:59,800 --> 00:17:04,560 McKean County location details says I will try to. 315 00:17:04,920 --> 00:17:06,839 Google Earth's. Coordinates if need be. 316 00:17:06,839 --> 00:17:09,000 It seems pretty boring to really be of help. 317 00:17:09,760 --> 00:17:12,119 Maybe send me a topographical map? 318 00:17:12,119 --> 00:17:14,560 Nearest town Bradford, nearest Rd. 319 00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:18,480 West Washington Now the experiencer tells us my 320 00:17:18,480 --> 00:17:22,520 encounter happened at the end of the summer in 1973 or 74. 321 00:17:22,880 --> 00:17:27,079 It was late August or early September as it was the time the 322 00:17:27,079 --> 00:17:30,480 blackberries were ripening. I was 15 or 16 and had a dirt 323 00:17:30,480 --> 00:17:34,000 bike that I rode on the mini lease roads in the hills around 324 00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:36,280 Bradford. The bike had an expansion 325 00:17:36,280 --> 00:17:39,000 chamber which is an extremely loud exhaust system. 326 00:17:39,360 --> 00:17:42,400 I generally rode it every day on the hill behind our house in 327 00:17:42,400 --> 00:17:45,000 Bradford, so I knew all the roads and trails. 328 00:17:45,400 --> 00:17:48,600 My grandfather had built many of the roads with the bulldozer 329 00:17:48,600 --> 00:17:51,240 years back while working for the Kendall Oil Company. 330 00:17:51,920 --> 00:17:55,080 We had also hiked this area extensively when my friends and 331 00:17:55,080 --> 00:17:57,560 I were kids, sometimes camping for the night. 332 00:17:58,000 --> 00:18:01,840 On one occasion, we were about nine or ten, we were chased home 333 00:18:01,840 --> 00:18:04,360 by a frightening screeching sound in the late morning from 334 00:18:04,360 --> 00:18:06,280 the top of this hill, just two of us. 335 00:18:06,600 --> 00:18:09,160 We didn't know what the noise was, only that we had to run 336 00:18:09,160 --> 00:18:11,320 from it. I only mentioned this because it 337 00:18:11,320 --> 00:18:14,400 was very close to the same area where I had my encounter. 338 00:18:14,400 --> 00:18:16,240 In my mind it was the same animal. 339 00:18:16,800 --> 00:18:19,560 On the day of the encounter, I had ridden up to the road at the 340 00:18:19,560 --> 00:18:24,000 ridgeline of the hill and about a mile and a half toward the 341 00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:27,600 hospital area. I didn't turn away and instead 342 00:18:28,040 --> 00:18:30,960 went straight toward the pipeline, which is a cleared 343 00:18:30,960 --> 00:18:34,080 area that run that runs straight up and down the mountain. 344 00:18:34,480 --> 00:18:37,960 I stopped there for a second and then turned back around about 345 00:18:37,960 --> 00:18:40,200 1/4 mile to a group of BlackBerry bushes. 346 00:18:40,720 --> 00:18:44,200 I shut off the bike and started picking the berries until the 347 00:18:44,200 --> 00:18:47,280 bees got to me and I took my handful of berries and walked 348 00:18:47,280 --> 00:18:49,800 away. I walked back to the pipeline, 349 00:18:49,800 --> 00:18:53,080 stopping right before the clearing hoping to catch some 350 00:18:53,080 --> 00:18:56,480 sort of Animal Crossing it. I had been a hunter since I was 351 00:18:56,480 --> 00:18:59,800 very young, which was customary in this area, and was very good 352 00:18:59,800 --> 00:19:03,240 at walking quietly in the woods. As I looked down the hill from 353 00:19:03,240 --> 00:19:06,520 the top the clearing, I could see what looked like a bear 354 00:19:06,800 --> 00:19:10,400 digging into the log that had been placed across the pipeline 355 00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:13,480 to keep people from using the cleared area as a road. 356 00:19:14,040 --> 00:19:16,000 I reasoned that it had the noise. 357 00:19:17,560 --> 00:19:21,680 I reasoned that it heard the noise of my bike going away, so 358 00:19:21,680 --> 00:19:25,360 I figured I was out of the area. The stink of the two cycle 359 00:19:25,360 --> 00:19:27,760 engine also probably mask my scent. 360 00:19:28,320 --> 00:19:30,760 I was young enough to think I could get a closer look, so I 361 00:19:30,760 --> 00:19:33,600 got myself to a point about 50 yards away and uphill from the 362 00:19:33,600 --> 00:19:36,760 animal and about 25 yards from the Ridgeline Rd. 363 00:19:37,120 --> 00:19:39,800 I stood there and ate the berries watching what I thought 364 00:19:39,800 --> 00:19:43,400 was the butt of the bear visible above the log. 365 00:19:44,040 --> 00:19:47,760 Remember the log was about 50 yards down a steep hill and the 366 00:19:47,760 --> 00:19:50,680 log was about 3 feet tall. Crossing the pipeline. 367 00:19:51,120 --> 00:19:54,800 The bear would have been very large for me to see as much as I 368 00:19:54,800 --> 00:19:59,480 did, which was a good foot or more above the log and it was on 369 00:19:59,480 --> 00:20:02,920 the other side of it. It seemed to be digging for bugs 370 00:20:02,920 --> 00:20:05,680 or something in the log. After a few minutes of me 371 00:20:05,680 --> 00:20:08,720 standing still watching it, it suddenly realized I was there. 372 00:20:09,280 --> 00:20:12,880 It stopped and tried to remain calm still for a minute, and all 373 00:20:12,880 --> 00:20:16,240 the time I thought I was watching a bear. 374 00:20:16,880 --> 00:20:19,840 Then it stood up. This was no bear. 375 00:20:20,280 --> 00:20:24,080 It was the most surreal moment of my life, either then or now, 376 00:20:24,080 --> 00:20:28,240 and I'm 52 years old. It was tall, at least seven feet 377 00:20:28,560 --> 00:20:30,960 as his knees were just barely covered by the log. 378 00:20:31,520 --> 00:20:35,040 It had hair like that of a black bear's fur that time of year, 379 00:20:35,520 --> 00:20:40,040 basically the same color and length which which obscured many 380 00:20:40,040 --> 00:20:43,520 of the features of his face. We both stood there frozen for a 381 00:20:43,520 --> 00:20:46,440 minute, staring at each other. My thought was to get out of 382 00:20:46,440 --> 00:20:49,480 there, but the only movement I could muster was to drop the few 383 00:20:49,480 --> 00:20:52,520 berries I had left. I started dropping berries and 384 00:20:52,520 --> 00:20:55,720 it just turned and walked to the far side of the pipeline and 385 00:20:55,720 --> 00:20:59,760 into the woods down a trail just to the side of the log. 386 00:21:00,640 --> 00:21:03,840 I say walk because it was so smooth and graceful across that 387 00:21:03,840 --> 00:21:06,480 terrain that I was completely overwhelmed. 388 00:21:06,960 --> 00:21:09,400 As I said, I thought I was a pretty good at getting around in 389 00:21:09,400 --> 00:21:13,320 this terrain and I am. The movement it used was so 390 00:21:13,320 --> 00:21:16,560 economical and efficient that I still see it in my mind and 391 00:21:16,560 --> 00:21:20,360 marvel. There was very little or no 392 00:21:20,360 --> 00:21:24,480 bobbing up and down. Its arms swung but not widely 393 00:21:25,320 --> 00:21:27,480 like you would expect the of an ape. 394 00:21:27,480 --> 00:21:31,040 The arm swing wasn't like a tightrope Walker either, as I 395 00:21:31,040 --> 00:21:33,800 might have needed to do to walk across the area. 396 00:21:33,800 --> 00:21:36,760 It walked. It was just smooth and amazing. 397 00:21:37,400 --> 00:21:41,000 I stood for a few seconds after it disappeared, then decided to 398 00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:44,800 get myself out of there. I ran back to my bike and headed 399 00:21:44,800 --> 00:21:46,840 the other way as fast as I could. 400 00:21:47,320 --> 00:21:50,280 Then I started thinking I should go see where it went. 401 00:21:50,600 --> 00:21:53,320 I turned around and headed back and down that pipeline to the 402 00:21:53,320 --> 00:21:55,320 tree. I got to the bike. 403 00:21:55,560 --> 00:21:59,600 I got the bike to the trail it used, which is a trail that 404 00:21:59,600 --> 00:22:03,320 immediately takes you from light to deep shade and stays 405 00:22:03,320 --> 00:22:06,160 perpetually muddy. I've tried that trail a few 406 00:22:06,160 --> 00:22:09,240 other times with the same friend who was chased with me years 407 00:22:09,240 --> 00:22:12,520 earlier, and I've only been able to go a few yards before I had 408 00:22:12,520 --> 00:22:16,120 to get off the bike and push. I started to get bogged down so 409 00:22:16,120 --> 00:22:18,040 I got the bike out as quickly as I could. 410 00:22:18,480 --> 00:22:20,080 I don't know what I was thinking. 411 00:22:20,080 --> 00:22:22,560 I guess though, the noise would keep it away. 412 00:22:23,320 --> 00:22:26,400 I guess I thought the noise would keep it away, but when I 413 00:22:26,400 --> 00:22:29,840 hit the mud I remembered that I couldn't take the trail. 414 00:22:30,240 --> 00:22:32,240 It was always creepy dark back there. 415 00:22:33,320 --> 00:22:36,240 I wouldn't have gone back there if it weren't to prove to myself 416 00:22:36,800 --> 00:22:39,840 that I didn't have to run away. I never look for tracks. 417 00:22:39,840 --> 00:22:41,520 This is something else That's very strange. 418 00:22:41,520 --> 00:22:43,560 I was a hunter and I look for tracks everywhere. 419 00:22:43,880 --> 00:22:45,840 The muddy trails probably covered with them. 420 00:22:46,160 --> 00:22:49,360 This has always bothered me. I can only think that my mind 421 00:22:49,360 --> 00:22:51,520 was so sure that no one would ever believe me. 422 00:22:51,760 --> 00:22:53,840 That proof was the furthest thing for my mind. 423 00:22:54,360 --> 00:22:58,200 The whole experience is so alien that I never told anyone about 424 00:22:58,200 --> 00:23:00,880 it for 25 years. Back then, all the Bigfoot 425 00:23:00,880 --> 00:23:03,400 stories were in Washington, Oregon, and California. 426 00:23:03,680 --> 00:23:06,880 No one would have believed me. Maybe I also didn't want to. 427 00:23:07,600 --> 00:23:09,920 Maybe I also didn't want anyone to find it. 428 00:23:10,280 --> 00:23:13,520 I thought extremely special to have had this experience and I 429 00:23:13,520 --> 00:23:15,480 didn't want to betray that or the Bigfoot. 430 00:23:15,760 --> 00:23:18,280 Anyone from Bradford will now have to be able to figure out 431 00:23:18,600 --> 00:23:20,640 where this happened from my story and that bothers me. 432 00:23:20,880 --> 00:23:22,720 I don't think they should be chased. 433 00:23:22,760 --> 00:23:26,120 They seem to be very human. Animal may be too vulnerable to 434 00:23:26,120 --> 00:23:29,160 our world and weapons. I'm posting this after having 435 00:23:29,160 --> 00:23:32,320 read the other Bradford sighting and seeing the Elk County 436 00:23:32,320 --> 00:23:34,480 photos. I did quite a bit of hunting in 437 00:23:34,480 --> 00:23:36,840 Elk County and it's very easy for me to believe that those 438 00:23:36,840 --> 00:23:39,480 photos show a real Bigfoot animal. 439 00:23:39,800 --> 00:23:43,240 As for the 1963 Bradford sighting, the Barber St. 440 00:23:43,240 --> 00:23:46,640 location is very close to my sighting and I will leave it at 441 00:23:46,640 --> 00:23:49,720 that. This is also noticed in report. 442 00:23:49,720 --> 00:23:52,640 No other witnesses. What is what is already on the 443 00:23:52,640 --> 00:23:54,920 website mentioned in my report. Times and conditions. 444 00:23:54,920 --> 00:23:58,520 Afternoon around 4:00 PM Sunny and hot it says in environment 445 00:23:58,840 --> 00:24:03,040 and if we could look at the investigator they said it's 446 00:24:03,040 --> 00:24:06,320 Kathy Betts. I spoke to Mr. P over the phone 447 00:24:06,320 --> 00:24:09,840 as well as corresponded with him by e-mail, and he was agreeable 448 00:24:09,840 --> 00:24:12,360 about providing me with other details about the sighting. 449 00:24:13,360 --> 00:24:16,080 The Elk County photo he was referring to are known as the 450 00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:18,800 Jacob's photo. After riding his dirt bike, he 451 00:24:18,800 --> 00:24:21,440 decided to shut the bike off to gather berries. 452 00:24:21,760 --> 00:24:24,440 Leaving his bike parked on the path, and after gathering a 453 00:24:24,440 --> 00:24:27,400 handful of berries, Mr. P decided to walk quietly toward a 454 00:24:27,400 --> 00:24:30,080 pipeline clearing in the hopes of seeing deer or other 455 00:24:30,080 --> 00:24:32,640 wildlife. A bit downhill from him, he 456 00:24:32,640 --> 00:24:35,400 noticed a large tree lying on the ground across the pipeline 457 00:24:35,720 --> 00:24:38,320 and saw what he thought was the back end of a bear sticking it 458 00:24:38,320 --> 00:24:41,000 behind the tree. Having done this in the past, 459 00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:45,440 Mr. P decided to sneak up as close to the bear as he dared 460 00:24:45,440 --> 00:24:47,720 until he got within about 50 yards uphill from it. 461 00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:51,200 The bear still had not noticed his presence, so he decided to 462 00:24:51,200 --> 00:24:53,440 step on a few things to get his attention. 463 00:24:53,800 --> 00:24:57,800 Almost immediately, Mr. P saw a face pop up over the log and it 464 00:24:57,800 --> 00:25:00,560 made a grunting noise. I saw then that it was not a 465 00:25:00,560 --> 00:25:04,520 bear, but a hair covered face that looked almost human, Stated 466 00:25:04,520 --> 00:25:07,600 Mr. Pi was frozen. I couldn't believe what I was 467 00:25:07,600 --> 00:25:09,760 seeing. Then it stood up. 468 00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:13,760 I knew then it was definitely a Bigfoot, and he stared at me for 469 00:25:13,760 --> 00:25:16,960 what seemed like another minute, looking me right in the eyes. 470 00:25:17,280 --> 00:25:20,280 Mr. P believes at this point the creature was trying to 471 00:25:20,280 --> 00:25:22,720 intimidate him. He said that he was terrified at 472 00:25:22,720 --> 00:25:26,840 that point, not by the actions of the creature, but what it was 473 00:25:26,840 --> 00:25:30,080 capable of. After a minute or so of standing 474 00:25:30,080 --> 00:25:33,720 still and having the creature still glaring at him, Mr. P, 475 00:25:33,720 --> 00:25:37,560 purposely, but still feeling terrified, decided to drop a few 476 00:25:37,560 --> 00:25:39,760 berries with the thought that this might break its 477 00:25:39,760 --> 00:25:41,400 concentration. And this worked. 478 00:25:41,680 --> 00:25:44,360 The creature then turned and walked to the far side of the 479 00:25:44,360 --> 00:25:46,560 pipeline and then into the woods. 480 00:25:47,120 --> 00:25:49,960 The train it walked over was very rough, stated Mr. P, but it 481 00:25:49,960 --> 00:25:53,640 walked over 45 to 50 feet of this ground in roughly six or 482 00:25:53,640 --> 00:25:57,240 seven strides, and it swung its arms the whole time. 483 00:25:57,520 --> 00:26:01,480 Mr. P immediately ran back to his bike and speed off as fast 484 00:26:01,480 --> 00:26:04,520 as he could, but after several minutes, for reasons he could 485 00:26:04,520 --> 00:26:08,160 not fathom, Me turned around and went back to the place he saw 486 00:26:08,160 --> 00:26:11,240 the creature walk into. He says that it never occurred 487 00:26:11,240 --> 00:26:13,800 to him to look for footprints but just to look for the 488 00:26:13,800 --> 00:26:16,760 creature again. But the area it had walked into 489 00:26:16,760 --> 00:26:20,320 was rough and a bit spooky, so Mr. MP turned back and went 490 00:26:20,560 --> 00:26:22,760 home. The description of the creature 491 00:26:22,760 --> 00:26:26,080 he saw was this. It stood 7 feet tall but it 492 00:26:26,080 --> 00:26:28,880 could have been taller. His hair was dark brown colored 493 00:26:28,880 --> 00:26:31,960 with reddish highlights with his hair was long as she had his 494 00:26:31,960 --> 00:26:34,760 shoulders and head with an almost shag haircut style 495 00:26:34,760 --> 00:26:37,920 configuration on its head. Although he tried getting a good 496 00:26:37,920 --> 00:26:40,640 look at its face, he could not recall any details. 497 00:26:41,040 --> 00:26:44,800 He does adamantly recall that it looked more human than ape. 498 00:26:45,240 --> 00:26:47,480 Its arms were long and hung down to its knees. 499 00:26:47,640 --> 00:26:50,760 He does not recall any details of the creature from its waist 500 00:26:50,760 --> 00:26:53,560 down, since the majority of the sighting occurred behind the 501 00:26:53,560 --> 00:26:57,360 huge fallen tree and because he was looking at the creature on 502 00:26:57,360 --> 00:27:02,040 the on the slope of a hill. He described the head as being 503 00:27:02,040 --> 00:27:04,880 rounded like a human's head. He said that it did not appear 504 00:27:04,880 --> 00:27:07,240 conical. He said that the shoulders were 505 00:27:07,240 --> 00:27:09,720 massive with a very muscular neck. 506 00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:13,680 He could not make out any ears. He recalls that it was very 507 00:27:13,680 --> 00:27:17,000 masculine in his proportions. Beside the broad shoulders and 508 00:27:17,000 --> 00:27:19,200 chest, it had a relatively slim waist. 509 00:27:19,480 --> 00:27:23,120 There were no obvious genitals. The area on Mr. P's side of the 510 00:27:23,120 --> 00:27:26,800 Bigfoot was in a large swath of half cleared land close to the 511 00:27:26,800 --> 00:27:29,760 Bradford City limits that was being used for oil pipelines, 512 00:27:30,080 --> 00:27:32,320 leash roads, and other municipality purposes. 513 00:27:32,720 --> 00:27:35,600 The area surrounding this land, besides the small city of 514 00:27:35,600 --> 00:27:39,240 Bradford, is compromised of farms, rural tenants, and sold 515 00:27:39,240 --> 00:27:42,480 and used hilly Woodlands. There is a healthy population of 516 00:27:42,480 --> 00:27:45,600 deer in this area as well as numerous freshwater creeks and 517 00:27:45,600 --> 00:27:47,720 ponds. There's also an abundance of 518 00:27:47,720 --> 00:27:50,480 wild BlackBerry and strawberry plants as well as plenty of 519 00:27:50,480 --> 00:27:53,680 apple trees in this vicinity. Even though the encounter was 520 00:27:53,920 --> 00:27:57,440 terrifying to Mr. P, he told me that he still feels protective 521 00:27:57,440 --> 00:28:00,160 toward it. As if as well as all other 522 00:28:00,160 --> 00:28:04,280 Bigfoot, it just looks so human and I was awed by his presence. 523 00:28:04,280 --> 00:28:06,840 I don't want to ever. I don't want it to ever be 524 00:28:06,840 --> 00:28:08,840 harmed. He said the sighting was in the 525 00:28:08,840 --> 00:28:12,360 same area as another sighting that occurred in 1963. 526 00:28:12,880 --> 00:28:14,560 Wow. What a detailed sighting. 527 00:28:14,760 --> 00:28:17,200 What an obviously good sighting. Take a look at one more here and 528 00:28:17,200 --> 00:28:21,600 finish this up. The study goes back to September 529 00:28:21,600 --> 00:28:25,240 1973. It says McKean County. 530 00:28:25,720 --> 00:28:30,600 Location details says I will try to Google Earth's coordinates if 531 00:28:30,600 --> 00:28:32,280 need be. It seems pretty broiler to 532 00:28:32,280 --> 00:28:36,000 really be of help. Maybe send me a topographical 533 00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:38,400 map. Nearest town Bradford, nearest 534 00:28:38,400 --> 00:28:42,760 road West Washington. Now the experiencer tells us my 535 00:28:42,760 --> 00:28:46,760 encounter happened at the end of the summer in 1973 or 74. 536 00:28:47,160 --> 00:28:51,360 It was late August or early September as it was the time the 537 00:28:51,360 --> 00:28:54,720 blackberries were ripening. I was 15 or 16 and had a dirt 538 00:28:54,720 --> 00:28:58,240 bike that I rode on the mini lease roads in the hills around 539 00:28:58,240 --> 00:29:00,560 Bradford. The bike had an expansion 540 00:29:00,560 --> 00:29:03,240 chamber which is an extremely loud exhaust system. 541 00:29:03,640 --> 00:29:06,680 I generally rode it every day on the hill behind our house in 542 00:29:06,680 --> 00:29:09,280 Bradford so I knew all the roads and trails. 543 00:29:09,680 --> 00:29:12,920 My grandfather had built many of the roads with the bulldozer 544 00:29:12,920 --> 00:29:15,520 years back while working for the Kendall Oil Company. 545 00:29:16,200 --> 00:29:19,360 We had also hiked this area extensively when my friends and 546 00:29:19,360 --> 00:29:21,840 I were kids, sometimes camping for the night. 547 00:29:22,280 --> 00:29:26,120 On one occasion, we were about nine or ten, we were chased home 548 00:29:26,120 --> 00:29:28,640 by a frightening screeching sound in the late morning from 549 00:29:28,640 --> 00:29:30,560 the top of this hill, just two of us. 550 00:29:30,880 --> 00:29:33,440 We didn't know what the noise was, only that we had to run 551 00:29:33,440 --> 00:29:35,600 from it. I only mentioned this because it 552 00:29:35,600 --> 00:29:38,680 was very close to the same area where I had my encounter. 553 00:29:38,720 --> 00:29:40,480 In my mind, it was the same animal. 554 00:29:41,080 --> 00:29:43,840 On the day of the encounter, I had ridden up to the road at the 555 00:29:43,840 --> 00:29:48,240 ridgeline of the hill and about a mile and a half toward the 556 00:29:48,240 --> 00:29:51,880 hospital area. I didn't turn away and instead 557 00:29:52,280 --> 00:29:55,200 went straight toward the pipeline, which is a cleared 558 00:29:55,200 --> 00:29:58,320 area that run that runs straight up and down the mountain. 559 00:29:58,720 --> 00:30:02,240 I stopped there for a second and then turned back around about 560 00:30:02,240 --> 00:30:04,480 1/4 mile to a group of BlackBerry bushes. 561 00:30:04,920 --> 00:30:08,440 I shut off the bike and started picking the berries until the 562 00:30:08,440 --> 00:30:11,520 bees got to me and I took my handful of berries and walked 563 00:30:11,520 --> 00:30:14,040 away. I walked back to the pipeline, 564 00:30:14,040 --> 00:30:17,320 stopping right before the clearing, hoping to catch some 565 00:30:17,320 --> 00:30:20,720 sort of Animal Crossing it. I had been a hunter since I was 566 00:30:20,720 --> 00:30:24,080 very young, which was customary in this area, and was very good 567 00:30:24,080 --> 00:30:27,480 at walking quietly in the woods. As I looked down the hill from 568 00:30:27,480 --> 00:30:30,760 the top of the clearing I could see what looked like a bear 569 00:30:31,080 --> 00:30:34,680 digging into the log that had been placed across the pipeline 570 00:30:34,680 --> 00:30:37,800 to keep people from using the cleared area as a road. 571 00:30:37,800 --> 00:30:42,000 I reasoned that it heard the noise of my bike going away so I 572 00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:45,600 figured I was out of the area. The stink of the two cycle 573 00:30:45,600 --> 00:30:48,000 engine also probably mask my scent. 574 00:30:48,560 --> 00:30:51,040 I was young enough to think I could get a closer look, so I 575 00:30:51,040 --> 00:30:53,880 got myself to a point about 50 yards away and uphill from the 576 00:30:53,880 --> 00:30:57,000 animal and about 25 yards from the Ridgeline Rd. 577 00:30:57,440 --> 00:31:00,040 I stood there and ate the berries watching what I thought 578 00:31:00,040 --> 00:31:03,640 was the butt of the bear visible above the log. 579 00:31:04,320 --> 00:31:08,000 Remember the log was about 50 yards down a steep hill and the 580 00:31:08,000 --> 00:31:10,920 log was about 3 feet tall. Crossing the pipeline. 581 00:31:11,360 --> 00:31:15,040 The bear would have been very large for me to see as much as I 582 00:31:15,040 --> 00:31:19,720 did, which was a good foot or more above the log and it was on 583 00:31:19,720 --> 00:31:23,160 the other side of it. It seemed to be digging for bugs 584 00:31:23,160 --> 00:31:25,920 or something in the log. After a few minutes of me 585 00:31:25,920 --> 00:31:28,960 standing still watching it, it suddenly realized I was there. 586 00:31:29,520 --> 00:31:33,120 It stopped and tried to remain calm still for a minute, and all 587 00:31:33,120 --> 00:31:36,480 the time I thought I was watching a bear. 588 00:31:37,120 --> 00:31:40,080 Then it stood up. This was no bear. 589 00:31:40,520 --> 00:31:44,320 It was the most surreal moment of my life, either then or now, 590 00:31:44,320 --> 00:31:48,480 and I'm 52 years old. It was tall, at least seven feet 591 00:31:48,800 --> 00:31:51,200 as his knees were just barely covered by the log. 592 00:31:51,760 --> 00:31:55,280 It had hair like that of a black bear's fur that time of year, 593 00:31:55,760 --> 00:31:59,880 basically the same color and length chips which obscured many 594 00:31:59,880 --> 00:32:02,920 of the features of his face. We both stood there frozen for a 595 00:32:02,920 --> 00:32:05,840 minute, staring at each other. My thought was to get out of 596 00:32:05,840 --> 00:32:08,880 there, but the only movement I could muster was to drop the few 597 00:32:08,880 --> 00:32:11,920 berries I had left. I started dropping berries and 598 00:32:11,920 --> 00:32:15,120 it just turned and walked to the far side of the pipeline and 599 00:32:15,120 --> 00:32:18,440 into the woods down a trail just to the side of the log. 600 00:32:19,360 --> 00:32:22,560 I say walk because it was so smooth and graceful across that 601 00:32:22,560 --> 00:32:25,200 terrain that I was completely overwhelmed. 602 00:32:25,680 --> 00:32:28,120 As I said, I thought I was a pretty good at getting around in 603 00:32:28,120 --> 00:32:32,040 this terrain and I am. The movement it used was so 604 00:32:32,040 --> 00:32:35,280 economical and efficient that I still see it in my mind and 605 00:32:35,280 --> 00:32:37,840 marvel. There was very little or no 606 00:32:37,840 --> 00:32:41,560 bobbing up and down. Its arms swung, but not widely 607 00:32:42,360 --> 00:32:44,560 like you would expect the of an ape. 608 00:32:44,560 --> 00:32:47,640 The arm swing wasn't like a tightrope Walker either, as I 609 00:32:47,640 --> 00:32:50,880 might have needed to do to walk across the area it walked. 610 00:32:50,880 --> 00:32:55,280 It was just smooth and amazing. I stood for a few seconds after 611 00:32:55,280 --> 00:32:58,520 it disappeared, then decided to get myself out of there. 612 00:32:58,880 --> 00:33:02,560 I ran back to my bike and headed the other way as fast as I 613 00:33:02,560 --> 00:33:04,840 could. Then I started thinking I should 614 00:33:04,840 --> 00:33:08,360 go see where it went. I turned around and headed back 615 00:33:08,360 --> 00:33:10,280 and down that pipeline to the tree I got. 616 00:33:10,280 --> 00:33:13,520 I got the bike to the trail it used, which is a trail that 617 00:33:13,520 --> 00:33:17,240 immediately takes you from light to deep shade and stays 618 00:33:17,240 --> 00:33:19,520 perpetually muddy. I've tried that trail a few 619 00:33:19,520 --> 00:33:22,640 other times with the same friend who was chased with me years 620 00:33:22,640 --> 00:33:25,880 earlier, and I've only been able to go a few yards before I had 621 00:33:25,880 --> 00:33:28,760 to get off the bike and push. I started to get bogged down so 622 00:33:28,760 --> 00:33:30,600 I got the bike out as quickly as I could. 623 00:33:30,600 --> 00:33:32,120 I don't know what I was thinking. 624 00:33:32,120 --> 00:33:35,080 I guess I thought the noise would keep it away, but when I 625 00:33:35,080 --> 00:33:38,520 hit the mud I remembered that I couldn't take the trail. 626 00:33:38,960 --> 00:33:40,840 It was always creepy dark back there. 627 00:33:40,840 --> 00:33:43,760 I wouldn't have gone back there if it weren't to prove to myself 628 00:33:43,800 --> 00:33:46,400 that I didn't have to run away. I never looked for tracks. 629 00:33:46,400 --> 00:33:48,080 This is something else that's very strange. 630 00:33:48,080 --> 00:33:50,120 I was a hunter and I looked for tracks everywhere. 631 00:33:50,440 --> 00:33:52,400 The muddy trail was probably covered with them. 632 00:33:52,720 --> 00:33:55,920 This has always bothered me. I can only think that my mind 633 00:33:55,920 --> 00:33:58,080 was so sure that no one would ever believe me. 634 00:33:58,320 --> 00:34:00,400 That proof was the farthest thing from my mind. 635 00:34:00,920 --> 00:34:04,760 The whole experience is so alien that I never told anyone about 636 00:34:04,760 --> 00:34:07,480 it for 25 years. Back then, all the Bigfoot 637 00:34:07,480 --> 00:34:09,960 stories were in Washington, Oregon and California. 638 00:34:10,239 --> 00:34:13,440 No one would have believed me. Maybe I also didn't want to. 639 00:34:14,159 --> 00:34:16,480 Maybe I also didn't want anyone to find it. 640 00:34:16,840 --> 00:34:20,080 I thought extremely special to have had this experience, and I 641 00:34:20,080 --> 00:34:22,040 didn't want to betray that or the Bigfoot. 642 00:34:22,320 --> 00:34:24,880 Anyone from Bradford will now have to be able to figure out 643 00:34:25,159 --> 00:34:27,199 where this happened from my story, and that bothers me. 644 00:34:27,440 --> 00:34:29,280 I don't think they should be chased. 645 00:34:29,320 --> 00:34:32,679 They seem to be very human animal may be too vulnerable to 646 00:34:32,679 --> 00:34:35,679 our world and weapons. I'm posting this after having 647 00:34:35,679 --> 00:34:38,840 read the other Bradford sighting and seeing the Elk County 648 00:34:38,840 --> 00:34:41,040 photos. I did quite a bit of hunting in 649 00:34:41,040 --> 00:34:43,400 Elk County and it's very easy for me to believe that those 650 00:34:43,400 --> 00:34:46,040 photos show a real Bigfoot animal. 651 00:34:46,360 --> 00:34:49,760 As for the 1963 Bradford sighting, the Barber St. 652 00:34:49,760 --> 00:34:53,199 location is very close to my sighting and I will leave it at 653 00:34:53,199 --> 00:34:56,600 that. This last sighting is dated May 654 00:34:56,600 --> 00:35:01,200 26th, 2013. Says County Clearfield County of 655 00:35:01,200 --> 00:35:04,800 course Pennsylvania location details wooded area former side 656 00:35:04,800 --> 00:35:08,960 of an old strip mine now filled in an overgrown nearest town 657 00:35:09,000 --> 00:35:11,800 house. Still Pennsylvania nearest Rd. 658 00:35:11,800 --> 00:35:17,000 Pennsylvania State Road 153 Observer says while putting out 659 00:35:17,000 --> 00:35:20,880 salt salt blocks at hunting spots, I saw two creatures. 660 00:35:20,880 --> 00:35:24,000 One was in a wide open area and I didn't see the second one 661 00:35:24,000 --> 00:35:27,120 until the first one started moving away from me and headed 662 00:35:27,120 --> 00:35:30,200 for the tree line. I was no more than 25 yards 663 00:35:30,200 --> 00:35:32,000 away. The first one I saw very 664 00:35:32,000 --> 00:35:34,440 clearly. It was approximately 8 feet tall 665 00:35:34,440 --> 00:35:37,680 and walking upright. It had a sloping forehead and 666 00:35:37,680 --> 00:35:39,680 its hands were about level with his knees. 667 00:35:40,040 --> 00:35:42,680 My best estimate would be 600 lbs. 668 00:35:43,080 --> 00:35:46,200 The collar was all black with no hair on its face or hands. 669 00:35:46,600 --> 00:35:49,840 The only sound it made was the grass being trampled as it 670 00:35:49,840 --> 00:35:52,320 walked. It never looked my way or made 671 00:35:52,320 --> 00:35:55,440 any vocalization. Its arms swung slightly while 672 00:35:55,440 --> 00:36:00,000 walking with the knuckles facing forward and not to the side like 673 00:36:00,000 --> 00:36:02,960 a human. My best estimate of the forearm 674 00:36:02,960 --> 00:36:06,760 length would be 16 inches. When it turned left and into the 675 00:36:06,760 --> 00:36:09,320 tree line, I could see its back clearly. 676 00:36:09,720 --> 00:36:12,920 That's when I saw the other one. I saw only its back. 677 00:36:13,240 --> 00:36:17,120 The shoulders on both were broad and straight, approximately 3 678 00:36:17,120 --> 00:36:20,320 feet across. I smelled or heard nothing 679 00:36:20,600 --> 00:36:24,120 during or after the sighting. After they disappeared I threw 680 00:36:24,120 --> 00:36:26,760 the salt block over the 12 foot embankment and left. 681 00:36:27,320 --> 00:36:30,920 I have not been back since. The only thing I took away from 682 00:36:30,920 --> 00:36:33,920 the encounter is that all they wanted to do was get away from 683 00:36:33,920 --> 00:36:37,240 me and under also notice it says I have run this through my mind 684 00:36:37,240 --> 00:36:39,520 for three months. I cannot come to any plausible 685 00:36:39,520 --> 00:36:43,600 explanation for what I saw. I cannot think of any animal I 686 00:36:43,600 --> 00:36:47,280 could have possibly misidentified other witnesses. 687 00:36:47,280 --> 00:36:50,040 My wife and child were with me but they saw nothing as they 688 00:36:50,040 --> 00:36:52,760 were behind me and not yet come into the clearing where the 689 00:36:52,760 --> 00:36:55,760 creature was. Other stories Apparently local 690 00:36:55,760 --> 00:36:59,480 police in Dubois, which is near where this sighting occurred, 691 00:36:59,480 --> 00:37:02,800 have put up Animal Crossing signs due to increased animal 692 00:37:02,800 --> 00:37:06,800 sighting reports during the time of this sighting and then time 693 00:37:06,800 --> 00:37:08,760 and conditions. Approximately 1:30 PM. 694 00:37:08,880 --> 00:37:13,480 Sunny, clear, slightly breezy Sunday, the day before Memorial 695 00:37:13,480 --> 00:37:15,560 Day. An environment that says barren, 696 00:37:15,560 --> 00:37:20,520 filled in strip mine, swampy area, pine Groves and oak 697 00:37:20,520 --> 00:37:22,640 Groves. Well, it sounds like just the 698 00:37:22,640 --> 00:37:24,480 kind of place these things like to hang out at. 699 00:37:25,040 --> 00:37:27,800 The investigator says it's Jared Johnson. 700 00:37:27,800 --> 00:37:30,680 I spoke to the primary witness at length on the phone about 701 00:37:30,680 --> 00:37:35,240 this encounter with two large Sasquatch in the hostile area. 702 00:37:35,720 --> 00:37:38,320 The location contains an old strip mine that has since been 703 00:37:38,320 --> 00:37:41,320 filled in and the area has become grown in with trees and 704 00:37:41,320 --> 00:37:43,480 vegetation. The person who observed the two 705 00:37:43,480 --> 00:37:46,680 creatures is a hunter whose family owns a hunting camp in 706 00:37:46,680 --> 00:37:48,680 the area. The hunter was walking to an 707 00:37:48,680 --> 00:37:51,240 area where he and his family had permission to hunt deer. 708 00:37:51,600 --> 00:37:54,840 He intended to place a couple of salt mineral blocks in the woods 709 00:37:55,080 --> 00:37:58,680 Scott the area for deer sign and take a hike with his wife and 710 00:37:58,680 --> 00:38:01,480 young child. The man was walking down a tram 711 00:38:01,480 --> 00:38:04,360 Rd. he and his family refer to as the Tunnel. 712 00:38:04,720 --> 00:38:08,240 The trail is very thick with growth, including vegetation 713 00:38:08,240 --> 00:38:12,800 overhead, which creates a tunnel effect and leads to this deer 714 00:38:13,120 --> 00:38:15,880 stand. The path overlooks a gully to 715 00:38:15,880 --> 00:38:18,000 one side. One end of the tunnel. 716 00:38:18,000 --> 00:38:21,040 The area opens up with considerably more visibility. 717 00:38:21,040 --> 00:38:24,360 As a hunter exited this part of the path, he saw the first 718 00:38:24,360 --> 00:38:27,080 creature at a very close distance of 25 yards. 719 00:38:27,560 --> 00:38:30,200 The witness stated that at the time the first creature 720 00:38:30,200 --> 00:38:33,920 appeared, his wife was walking a short distance behind him and 721 00:38:33,920 --> 00:38:36,000 holding the hand of their young child. 722 00:38:36,360 --> 00:38:39,800 His wife did not observe any of the events nor did she visibly 723 00:38:39,800 --> 00:38:43,040 see either subject. His wife observed him drop the 724 00:38:43,040 --> 00:38:46,280 salt block while he react while he reached for a 40 caliber sign 725 00:38:46,280 --> 00:38:49,640 on he carries for protection. Although the witness felt 726 00:38:49,640 --> 00:38:52,800 surprised and alarmed, he stated that he never drew the pistol 727 00:38:52,800 --> 00:38:54,240 because he did not feel threatened. 728 00:38:54,520 --> 00:38:57,440 The bipedal creature did not acknowledge his presence and 729 00:38:57,440 --> 00:39:01,520 never looked at him the entire time the animal was moving away 730 00:39:01,520 --> 00:39:04,720 from him and his family. The hunter communicated to me 731 00:39:04,720 --> 00:39:08,200 that he felt strongly that he had visibly acquired a detailed 732 00:39:08,200 --> 00:39:10,920 look at the creature, its body, its profile. 733 00:39:11,200 --> 00:39:14,160 He could hear his foot falls and each step it took into the 734 00:39:14,160 --> 00:39:16,400 forest. The witness stated the following 735 00:39:16,400 --> 00:39:19,200 observations. It was approximately 8 foot 736 00:39:19,200 --> 00:39:23,760 tall, estimated weight of 600 lbs or more, covered in black 737 00:39:23,760 --> 00:39:25,480 hair. Except for the hands and face. 738 00:39:25,720 --> 00:39:27,320 Hair appeared to be well groomed. 739 00:39:27,360 --> 00:39:30,400 It did not have a dirty appearance or matted hair. 740 00:39:30,400 --> 00:39:34,680 It had very pronounced jawline, sloping forehead, slight conical 741 00:39:34,680 --> 00:39:38,000 shape to the head. Face had black leathery skin. 742 00:39:38,240 --> 00:39:40,520 Eyes were dark and set deep into its head. 743 00:39:40,880 --> 00:39:42,720 The nose was flat and primate like. 744 00:39:43,120 --> 00:39:46,720 It had a distinct brow line. Its lips and mouth appeared to 745 00:39:46,720 --> 00:39:50,560 be a slit. Stumpy neck, muscular chest but 746 00:39:50,560 --> 00:39:54,360 thin and lanky in appearance. Reminded him of an NBA player. 747 00:39:54,600 --> 00:39:57,560 It stood tall and erect. It was not hunched in 748 00:39:57,560 --> 00:40:00,200 appearance. Hands were black, leathery like 749 00:40:00,200 --> 00:40:03,920 the face of like the face. Discernible hands and fingers, 750 00:40:03,920 --> 00:40:07,360 knuckles, face forward. As it walked, it moved with ease 751 00:40:07,560 --> 00:40:10,960 and covered ground quickly. I asked him about the gender and 752 00:40:10,960 --> 00:40:14,160 he stated that he did not think about the sex of the creature as 753 00:40:14,160 --> 00:40:17,400 the events unfolded, but he did not notice any female physical 754 00:40:17,400 --> 00:40:19,720 characteristics. He also did not observe the 755 00:40:19,720 --> 00:40:22,440 feet. The hunter stated that he first 756 00:40:22,440 --> 00:40:25,960 saw the creature from the side to the right of the Tram Rd. 757 00:40:26,240 --> 00:40:29,280 It then appeared. It then entered the trail he was 758 00:40:29,280 --> 00:40:32,360 on, turned and walked directly away from him for several 759 00:40:32,360 --> 00:40:35,040 strides as he observed the animal from the rear. 760 00:40:35,040 --> 00:40:38,760 Lastly, the creature left the path and cut into a thick stand 761 00:40:38,760 --> 00:40:41,240 of hemlocks. As it left the trail, he noticed 762 00:40:41,240 --> 00:40:45,880 the second, larger creature in his periphery 30 yards into the 763 00:40:45,880 --> 00:40:49,920 woods as a sloping hill in the direction the first creature was 764 00:40:49,920 --> 00:40:52,240 walking. The creature was facing away 765 00:40:52,240 --> 00:40:55,400 from him and he could only see a portion of it through the 766 00:40:55,400 --> 00:40:57,640 hemlocks. 100 described the second creature to me. 767 00:40:57,920 --> 00:40:59,800 He said he saw the back of its head. 768 00:41:00,080 --> 00:41:02,080 It was wider across the back and shoulders. 769 00:41:02,080 --> 00:41:05,200 It was taller with an estimated height of 8 1/2 or 9 feet. 770 00:41:05,200 --> 00:41:07,160 The creature was brown in coloration. 771 00:41:07,440 --> 00:41:10,600 It had hints of Gray mixed with brown. 772 00:41:11,480 --> 00:41:14,440 Man, this is really, well stuff. And then it goes on. 773 00:41:14,440 --> 00:41:16,760 Talks a little bit more about some of this guy's previous 774 00:41:16,760 --> 00:41:18,840 experiences. Really neat stuff. 775 00:41:18,840 --> 00:41:22,640 I just imagine seeing these two extremely large Bigfoot walking 776 00:41:22,840 --> 00:41:25,200 right into the right into the forest like that. 777 00:41:25,240 --> 00:41:26,720 Very good reports out of Pennsylvania. 778 00:41:27,040 --> 00:41:30,640 Very well detailed. Until next time, this is UFO 779 00:41:30,640 --> 00:41:31,800 warning over and out.
