Hello and welcome to the program UFO Warning.
In this episode we're talking about a Mississippi Bigfoot
report. That's correct, the Mississippi
Bigfoot report. This comes to us from our
friends over at bigfootresearchorganization.net.
That's bfro.net. Lots of great sightings and
reports over there. This first one says date on this
is 2021 and 22 December was the season on it.
The date it was reported was January 7th, 2022 in Lauderdale
County, Mississippi. Location Details Take York Rd.
to Oxford Road, turn right and go about two miles to 4891
Roxford Rd. Activity has been observed on
both sides of the road across approximately 80 acres and then
it gets GPS coordinates. Tells the nearest town is larded
on. Mississippi Nearest Rd.
Oxford Rd. Observed for two years there was
no sound or activity, but now it seems to be back.
There may be as many as four or more individuals involved.
Myself and two of my neighbors have heard unusual sounds.
The first time I heard it near my shot house and all the
animals became eerily quiet. Now we hear activity on both
sides of the road, wood knocks during the day and howling at
night. Last night around 12:30 AM there
was significant activity. This has been happening for the
past couple of weeks. The dogs want nothing to do with
it. There are two distinct sounds
they make. We're just looking for answers.
The sounds resemble wolves but are distinctly different.
I avoid hunting before daylight and return home before dark.
When we share this with others, they laugh and call us crazy
until they hear it for themselves.
Wow, that sounds pretty spooky to me.
Also notice it says activity is most frequent during the deer
season, but we have occasionally heard it during the summer just
before the activity seemed to stop.
For two years, under other witnesses, my neighbors and I
have heard the sounds while walking our dogs, standing on
our back porches or going about normal activities.
I first heard it this time while deer hunting.
Then it says under other stories the activity had been absent for
two years. I contacted the local BFRO
organization, but they never responded.
The sounds occurred during the day and night at various hours.
There have been wood knocks during the day and howling after
dark. The weather has been clear and
cold, though the knocks began when it was warmer and our
environment says the area features ample water, mixed
trees, hills, hollows and some open land.
There is a corn feeder for deer and a property has abundant
wildlife. Well, isn't that neat?
That's back to 2019. Here's one from Panola County,
Mississippi says from State Highway 51 take Eureka Rd. to
Crouch Rd. then to Pitman Rd. The property is the 1st house on
the left about halfway down Pitman Rd. nearest town
Batesville. Nearest Rd.
Pitman Rd. After hearing strange sounds in
the woods behind my house, I discovered a small oak tree
snapped like a toothpick about 8 feet above the ground.
This was behind the old barn on my property.
I had been in the same area the day before and the tree was
perfectly intact. If it had been snapped like that
earlier, I would have noticed. My son had accompanied me the
first day while we were looking for some old items stored in the
barn. When I went back alone the
following day to continue the search, I noticed the snap tree.
I have pictures and audio recordings documenting these
occurrences. Wow, these things are just
incredibly strong. On the night between these two
days, I was home alone working on some crafts.
The house was very quiet. I don't keep the TV on late at
night because my dad taught me to listen for outdoor sounds,
especially since we've always lived in a rural area.
This window AC unit next to my chair makes it easy to hear
outside sounds. And that night I heard strange
knocks. At the time I didn't think much
of it, but when I found the snap tree the next day, it gave me
chills. Wow.
My son, who was attending Ole Miss of the time, was with me
the first day. He had come over to look for
some old pictures stored in the barn.
We didn't notice anything unusual.
Then the Snap Tree appeared after I returned alone the next
day. Since this incident, I've
occasionally heard knocks, screams and what sounds like
chatter from the woods. Says the events primarily
occurred at night. It was unseasonably warm for
January and the weather was clear.
The Snap Tree is located behind my dad's old barn.
A deep crack runs to the back of the property, about 600 yards
from the barn. The area surrounded by woods and
rural terrain sounds like a pretty ideal spot for Bigfoot.
Maybe this one here says 2013 winner.
The date on this is February 16th to Shamingo County,
Mississippi. Location details removed to
protect the privacy of the witness.
Nearest town Burnsville, Mississippi.
Nearest Rd. Removed to protect the privacy
of the witness. Observed last night while
walking our dogs, I heard AI heard a sound similar to what
investigators on Finding Bigfoot make when calling to a Bigfoot.
The sounds seem to come from about a mile away near the
Tebigi Waterway. We were on the West side of the
waterway in a rural area and are accustomed to hearing a variety
of animal noises, but I had never heard anything like this
before. We frequently hear coyotes in
this area, and while it's possible this could have been a
coyote, the sound struck me as very similar to the calls made
by investigators on TV. I heard the sound twice during
my walk, which typically takes about 15 minutes.
Since I walked the dogs one at a time.
When I came inside, I even mentioned the sound to my
husband. Please note that I did not see
anything. I only heard a sound that was
unfamiliar and unlike anything I'm used to hearing out here.
Wow. Time and conditions.
The sounds occur between 9:00 PM and 9:30 PM.
It was dark but the skies were clear.
I was looking at the stars while walking the dogs.
Pretty cool. Follow up investigation says I
spoke with the witness for approximately 45 minutes about
her experience and she struck me as a very sincere and credible
individual. I would not normally publish a
report like this due to the lack of direct evidence.
However, since there have been reported sightings and
encounters in this county, I'm assuring this in the hope that
others may come forward with similar accounts.
During our conversation, the witness stated that the sound
was unlike anything she had ever heard in Mississippi.
While she acknowledged the possibility that it could have
been a coyote, she emphasized that it did not resemble any
coyote sound she had previously heard.
She estimated the scream lasts approximately 8 to 10 seconds.
The witness also mentioned hearing a wood knock later that
same night, but she had already submitted her report by that
time and wasn't able to include it.
She shared this detail during our phone conversation.
Pretty neat. Let's take a look at some more
here. This one says 1973 season Winter
state, Mississippi County. It's spelled AM ITE so I don't
know if it's a Mike County or how you say it.
A Mike County, I'll call it. All encounters occurred in a
Mike County, Mississippi in a wooded area about one mile South
of Hwy. 23. This area, known as the Fast
Fort Community, is about 15 miles West of McComb, Ms.
Unfortunately, I have no video or audio evidence, only personal
observation. The first encounter did not
involve a sighting. As a young boy, I was on the
front porch with my mother, father, uncle and grandfather.
Around 9:00 PM, we all heard a sound resembling a shrill human
scream. Until that night, I didn't
understand what it meant to have your hair stand on in a somewhat
large dog. We kept outside, barked, cried,
and ran away in apparent terror. The only thing we found the next
day was a single partial footprint.
The second encounter occurred while my cousins and I were
fishing at a pond on our grandfather's property.
We noticed a very strong odor. We assumed it was a skunk.
Shortly after, we heard a sound like a scream, followed by a few
grunts and then silence. Before the next encounter.
Some unusual incidents deserved mentioning.
Livestock, primarily pigs, were found dead with their livers and
hearts removed. Though I never witnessed this
myself, only heard the stories. On at least two occasions.
I saw all the fruit eaten off trees on the property.
The fruit was completely removed from the trees and the pits were
scattered on the ground below. We joked about the bellyache
something must have had after eating an entire tree of green
pears. Man that's amazing, never heard
that before. I heard they like apples, but
this is cool. Later, as a teenager, I was
alone in the woods and felt a distinct sense of being watched.
I crossed a barbed wire fence near the road, went into the
woods and returned. About 20 to 30 minutes later, I
discovered the fence had been partially knocked down.
Upon closer inspection, I noticed several large
footprints. The prints appeared human except
for their size. At the time, I wore a size 12 D
boot, but these prints were two to three inches longer and about
two inches wider than my boot. The tracks led to the road and
then back into the woods. About a year later, I was with a
friend from New Orleans, LA, who knew nothing about the previous
encounters. While we were near a Creek
bottom, he suddenly froze and asked what was watching us.
Standing near him, I saw what I initially thought was a bear
about 25 yards away in a squatting position.
Then it stood upright. It was 7 to each.
It was 7 to 8 feet tall, covered in very dark brown hair except
for its face. Unlike a bear, it stood upright
like a man. As we left the area, the
creature followed us to the edge of the wood line.
It walked with the long stride and its arms swung as it moved.
The only sound it made was a whistling noise.
My last encounter occurred while I was in the army.
A Co worker and I went to the old house to do some shooting
late that night. While sitting outside we saw a
large man shaped creature walk across the road about 125 yards
away. It entered the woods and
disappeared. Didn't seem to notice this well.
Also notice small trees were found knocked down in the woods,
apparently laid across one another.
Other witnesses. In all cases we were either at
the house or nearby in the woods, typically hunting or
fishing. Other stories.
I heard a news story about footprints cast taken near
Macomb at Pike County, just a few miles away.
The individual interviewed also had an audio recording of the
creature. That sounds pretty wild.
Time and conditions. The first incident, 1973 around
9:00 PM. Moderately cool weather.
Second incident 1975 late summer, early fall around 4:00
PM partly cloudy and warm. Fruit tree incident 1975, same
time frame as above and footprint incident. 197778 Fall
winter late afternoon clear and cool weather sighting 1978 or 79
Fall Winter late morning near noon.
Clear and cool weather and a final sighting in 1988 Winter
around 10:00 PM. Quite cool with light fogging
area. The Environment The area is
rural and wooded with nearby farms, creeks and low lying
swampy areas. The terrain consists of low
rolling hills. The nearest name to Creek is
Hominy Creek and the East Fork of the Amite River is within a
few miles. Pretty neat stuff.
Report submitted by witness. OK, so I'll go ahead and move on
to this next one. This is submitted by witness BB
on Thursday November 18th, 1999. Creatures see my witness the
year it occurred 1950 during the summer it says Adela County,
Mississippi observed When I was a child I heard my grandfather,
a man who quit school at 16, tells stories about something
that lived in the Burns re break.
Now they say this is a Reed break.
I guess where the swampy area kind of meets a drier area,
maybe a swampy area owned by a Mr. Homer Burns.
The stories he shared dated back to World War One and included
accounts from both my grandfather and my father.
They never got a good look at the creature.
My father always attributed the activity to bootleggers, but my
grandfather believed it was something else entirely.
According to him, whatever it was, it frightened lumbermen out
of the woods and beat Panther hounds so severely that the dogs
didn't return home for days. As a child, I listened to the
older generation describe the creature, but it wasn't until I
grew older that I realized your accounts sounded remarkably like
descriptions of a Sasquatch. I've also heard about similar
creatures in Louisiana, and given the many primitive
waterways that cross between the two states, it wouldn't surprise
me if the sightings were connected locally.
The creature was called the Burns Booger.
It was. It has been absent from the area
since the 1960s, around the same time that logging companies
began using advanced technology. This coincided with the last
known Panther sightings in Allen County.
My great grandfather and another man were logging in the area
after World War One was something terrified them so much
that they abandoned the job and refused to return.
My grandfather and father, along with some Coon hunters, claimed
to have seen the creature standing near a dying fire they
had built. They described it as man like,
yet not fully human, though my memory or their exact
description is hazy. My father's coonhounds, which
were known for their bravery even against Panthers,
encountered something one night that set them howling in terror.
Whatever it was, it attacked the dogs, leaving them yelping in
pain. By the time my grandfather and
father reached them, the incident was over.
The dogs didn't return home for days.
The older generation unanimously believed there was something
unusual in those woods, but they are all gone now.
No one has reported hearing from the Burns booger for many years.
I haven't come across any recent stories either.
Wow, that's something else and it just matches things living
down the swamps. My father is the only one still
alive. Remains convinced it was the
work of bootleggers though. No evidence of a still was ever
found in those woods. Environment says Atlanta County
features red clay hills, thick pine forest and swampy regions.
The Yakka Nuni River spelling may be incorrect, says runs
through the area and remains wild and marshy.
The Burns Re Break was heavily logged in later years, but at
the time of these sightings it was dense with Pines and had a
marshy stream running through it.
It says re break is a local term for Reed breaks.
The area is very hilly and was sparsely populated at the time.
Even today it remains thinly settled compared to less wooded
regions. Man that is really something.
You just wonder how much of these we've lost with the
habitat. This one here is from 1998.
It says winter January Mississippi Blvd.
County. The sighting occurred in the
southern part of Blvd. County heading north towards
Shaw Says nearest town Shaw nearest Rd.
Hwy. 61. In January 1998, I saw a large
light colored upright creature about 10 miles South of my home
in Blvd. County.
I was driving on Hwy. 61 in Southern Blvd.
County at approximately 1:15 AM when I noticed a large figure
crossing the road about 200 yards ahead of me.
It moved from left to right when I reached the spot where it had
stopped in a ditch. The creature did not look at me
but stared straight ahead. It stood around 7 1/2 to 8 feet
tall and appeared to weigh approximately 450 to 500 lbs.
It says the sighting took place at around 1:15 AM on a cloudy
night. The only limitations came from
my car's headlight. The area was an isolated stretch
of highway and then under the follow up investigation, it says
by Tony Garage. I spoke with the witness by
phone. The total duration of the
sighting was about 15 seconds from the moment he saw the
creature begin crossing the road to the point where he passed it.
He slowed the car but did not stop.
The creature's gait was described as smooth and fluid,
with its arms swinging like those of a human.
Its arms appeared to reach past its knees.
The head was cone shaped with no visible neck or ears.
Its build was described as muscular, massive, but not fat.
The hair was noted as a dirty white and not particularly long.
The witness did not observe any eye shine, nor was he aware if
the creature ever looked toward his oncoming car when the
creature stood in the ditch facing away from the road, kept
his arms at its sides and showed no significant movement during
that time. And then the investigator says
he's a Community College biology professor.
Pretty neat. Here's another one here.
This is from says summer 2000, June 15th actually.
State Clark, Mississippi. Clark County location details.
The incident occurred on Interstate 59 between Enterprise
and Meridian. Wow.
On an Interstate nearest town, Enterprise Meridian nearest Rd.
Interstate 59 observed on a rainy night at around 3 AMI saw
a large hairy creature running on two feet toward us.
I was driving home from Houston, TX after a job interview
accompanied by my mom. We've been driving all night and
we approached our destination. With about 20 miles left to
Meridian it began to rain. I was driving at around 55 mile
per hour due to the weather conditions when I noticed a
large figure to the left of our Jeep running tortoise.
I turned to my mom and asked if she had seen it too and she
confirmed that she had. When I asked her to describe
what she saw, she said it looked like a large hairy man or
something similar. After discussing it, we both
concluded it must have been a Bigfoot.
I hunt often and have never encountered anything like this
in my life. The creature appeared to be
about 8 feet tall and the experience terrified us.
I truly believe what we witnessed that night was a
Bigfoot. The incident occurred at
approximately 3:00 AM. It was raining heavily at the
time. Then it goes on here it says
follow up investigation report by BFR investigator John C
Calendar. I spoke with the witness to gain
additional details. The sighting occurred in an open
area of Interstate 5920 with with a medium and not many
trees. The area also featured rolling
hills. It was raining heavily with a
hard, steady downpour rather than a thunderstorm related
precipitation. The witness did not notice any
lighting before or after the encounter.
The creature was completely covered in brown hair,
approximately 3 to 4 inches long.
The hair had a shiny appearance, likely due to being wet.
The animal appeared ape like, but the witness cannot discern
any facial features, describing it as if it is.
If the animal didn't have a face, he emphasized that he
could not see its eyes or other details.
The entire encounter lasted only three to five seconds, with the
creature coming as close as 3 feet to the car.
Wow. The witness had to slow down and
swerve to the right to avoid hitting it.
The animal crossed from the West side of the Interstate 5920
toward the east. Although the witness initially
reported it as running toward us, he clarified during our
conversation that the animal seemed to be walking rather than
running. He believed it did not notice
the Jeep until just before the near collision.
Despite the close call, the animal continued crossing the
road without stopping or slowing down.
I am familiar with the area where the incident occurred.
It is relatively remote with thick pine forest, some clear
cut areas, and occasional fields.
The rolling hills in the area make it plausible for an animal
to cross the road without being seen until just before an
encounter, particularly during heavy rain as described by the
witness. It is worth noting that the two
other reported sightings have occurred in neighboring
Lauderdale County. Wow, that is so cool.
You know, you wonder if that's not how we're going to be able
to actually prove these things exist.
And one's going to get hit by a big truck or something.
Sometimes when mountain lions, Cougars, Panthers, what are you
going to call them, move into a certain area, people will say,
well, those animals don't exist here.
And then one gets hit by a car. And then it's like, oh, I guess
we do have these around at least, at least walking through.
And that could happen with Bigfoot, I'm afraid, is that one
of these days he seems to be killed on the highway.
And maybe that's how we'll finally find out the truth.
Very, very spooky situation. We'll do a couple more here and
we'll wrap this up. So we'll finish up these last
two. This happened and says 78 or 79.
Winter November 28th State Mississippi County Franklin
County Location Details off of Hwy. 33 turn on to Bunkley Rd.
travel approximately 5 miles then turn on road one O 1A
Government Rd. in the Homochito National Forest nearest town
Knoxville Nearest Rd. Bunkley Rd.
Observed First I must say that this creature truly exists
without a doubt. I have not shared this with many
people because I feel it would be futile to understand.
One must experience an encounter personally.
It was November 28th, 1978 or 79.
Deer season had opened a week or so earlier and I was eager to
hunt. Since I wasn't old enough to
drive, I jumped at the chance to go with my two older brothers
friends. We arrived in Knoxville off
Bunkley Rd. well before daylight.
The hike to our individual stands was about 1 to 1 1/2
miles. One of the men left us as we
passed his stand and the other continued with me until we
reached his. He directed me to a Creek bottom
about 300 yards away, mentioning some good buck sign he'd found
there. It was dark when I crossed a
small field to take a stand in the far timber.
Halfway across the field, I had an airy feeling of being
watched. I stopped, scanned the tree line
with my flashlight, but saw nothing.
I continued another 100 yards into the woods and found a large
tree to use as a backrest, setting in to wait for daylight.
Around 9, AMI spotted a deer standing on a small Knoll about
75 to 80 yards away, motionless and staring in my direction.
I didn't move, but the deer turned abruptly and bolted into
a thicket away from me. The wind was in my face, so I
knew it had to smell me, and I hadn't moved a muscle.
As I tried to figure out what startled the deer, I began
hearing heavy breathing behind me.
It wasn't close at first, but grew louder and louder.
Glancing over my left shoulder, I saw my shadow, the tree's
shadow, and the shadow of a large upright creature directly
behind me. Startled, I jumped up and
sidestepped away from the tree. Standing up five feet away was a
creature staring at me. It was about 7 feet tall,
covered in medium length pine straw colored hair except for
its hairless face. Its arms hung down to its knees
and its eyes were sunken and coal black.
We made eye contact for a couple of seconds before I turned and
fled, leaving my gun behind. I ran while yelling at the top
of my lungs. One of the men I was with heard
my screams and met me in the field as I exited the woods.
When I told him what happened, he called the other men and we
returned to retrieve my gun. They laughed at me until we
reached the tree where my gun lay.
There in the leaves were large tracks.
The footprints had three toes and measured about 14 inches
long and four and four to five inches wide.
We followed the tracks for about 75 yards, noting the direction
it had travelled. The trail led to a Creek where
the tracks dropped off the bank. In the sand below, we could
clearly see where the creature had slid down the slope.
At that point, we decided to leave immediately.
To this day, I have never returned to that particular
area. The men with me never mentioned
the incident to anyone to my knowledge.
I've seen many bears and other wildlife in my time, but I
assure you at 5 feet away there was no mistaking what I saw.
Oh man, that would just be amazing, especially as a kid.
Also notice it says there was no foul smell associated with the
creature. Strangely, I didn't hear any
noise from the leaves as it approached.
The heavy, irregular breathing still stands out vividly in my
mind. I get goosebumps every time I
think about it. Other witnesses.
Two other men were present, but I prefer not to reveal their
names. The three of us were deer
hunting. Other stories.
Yes, I've heard of two teenagers hunting and Anna's Bottom near
the Natchez. They reportedly saw a large dark
colored creature about 400 yards away across the soybean field.
They estimated it to be 8 to 9 feet tall.
The creature turned and disappeared into the far tree
line. Man, it's big time and
conditions. Around 9:00 AM it was clear cold
morning environment. The area included a small field
with material, hardwood trees, an old dried up pond about 3
about two feet deep and 20 yards wide, and a sandy flowing Creek
cutting through the area. It was primarily a large Creek
bottom and then follow up investigation says.
I spoke with the witness for follow up investigators John G
Calendar. I spoke with the witness for
about an hour, and although he couldn't recall whether the
encounter took place in 78 or 79, he vividly remembered the
events. Just before spotting the deer,
the woods became unnaturally quiet, with no sounds from
squirrels, birds or other wildlife.
The deer exhibited unusual behavior, taking 3 or 4 steps
backward, spinning and bolting. Immediately after, the witness
heard raspy, coarse breathing. The creature stood erect with
slightly forward leaning shoulders and no visible neck.
Its weight was estimated at six to seven, 100 lbs.
The animal wasn't aggressive but appeared curious.
The witness described that Harris coarse and four to five
inches long, darker near the roots and lighter at the ends.
His face was hairless except for a mustache.
The creature's pupils were coal black with no visible whites.
His nose was broad and slightly upturned.
Despite the fear, the witness believed the creature was simply
observing him out of curiosity. The tracks resembled human
footprints but had only three toes.
The center narrowed while the ends widened.
Has something 1970? That is really cool.
OK, we'll look at this last one here.
This is 1997. It says fall.
Mississippi, George County, nearest town Buzzard Roost, Hwy.
26. That's quite a name for a town
Buzzard Roost. My father and I were driving
around at night, as we often did, looking for deer.
He was driving. I spotted glowing gold eyes to
the left side of the road about 80 yards ahead and 10 yards off
the road. The creature was standing with
its back to the barbed wire fence and a two to three foot
tall sage grass. As we approached, my brother
slowed the truck slightly and turned to get a better view of
whatever it was. The creature was about 6 feet
tall with long brown hair on its head that extended down its
shoulders. Its face was dark and we
couldn't make out its features. It was swaying from side to side
as we passed by slowly. I hollered for my brother to
stop but he kept driving. Usually my brother stops
whenever a good buck is spotted, but this time he wouldn't go
back either. We're both hunters and familiar
with all the wildlife in our area.
This was not a bear. I also know of 2 hunters who
were driven out of the woods in this area by something that
smelled awful and made noises that gave them the creeps.
That happened a couple years before this sighting.
Both of those men are locals and avid hunters like us.
Other witnesses, myself and my brother.
And then it says other stories. I've heard of it two experienced
hunters being scared out of the woods in an area by something
with a terrible smell and unnerving noises.
I've also heard a story about a old woman who claimed she was
feeding a wild man behind her home in the same area.
Sounds crazy, but that's what was said.
Time and conditions Around 11:00 PM, the weather was calm.
The sighting occurred South of the Leaf River Management Area
near the border of pine forest and swamp.
This area is at the edge of the forest at public land and
private property. Follow up investigation says I
spoke by phone with both the reporting witnesses and his
brother. The witness described the
creature was built as stout with a rounded head and lacked a
forward projecting muzzle. He mentioned that it's hair
appeared rugged but not tangled. Neither witness detected any
associated odor, sounds or sounds during this encounter.
That is something a very cool up close and personal activity down
there in Mississippi. Until next time, this is UFO
warning over now.
