Hello and welcome to the program UFO Warning.
In this episode, we're talking about Bigfoot in Georgia.
That's correct, Bigfoot in Georgia.
I will look at a couple of articles here, go over some cool
stories out of Georgia. Before I get into that, just
want to bring it to your attention.
I've been getting really smashed on ad revenue.
The program's down to where it's not really making hardly any
money at all. Not sure if the ads aren't
getting through or what. The the listener numbers seem to
be about the same. So looking at doing a couple
things with that. If you have any ideas, you can
let me know. Or if you're not hearing ads at
all, you can also let me know that.
Not sure what's going on here but I'm going to try to keep
with this for a while but just want to keep the listener up to
date something's kind of going on and not really hearing
anything out of Spotify for it. Anyway, this first article here
is from North Georgia living.com that's written by Judy Garrison
says on the hunt for Bigfoot. It's a pretty cool article about
this Bigfoot museum down there. If the 12 foot black hairy man
like creature standing tall alongside Hwy. 515 just out
Cherry Log, Georgia causes a double take, it has done its
job. Whipping the car around hoping
to find a parking lot, you accompany the crowd into Bigfoot
Expedition Sasquatch Museum. Reminiscent of the 1960s
roadside attractions that suck the travellers from the highway
and into an unplanned stop to an intended destination, this
museum is a 21st century version.
Chances are people pass the museum multiple times a day
before they decide to stop. Call it trepidation or
disbelief, you will fall into one of these categories.
Opened in 2016, the Sasquatch Museum has greeted over 70,000
visitors each year. With summer being its busiest
season, everyone walks out either entertained or educated.
David Beccara, museum owner and Bigfoot researcher, hopes it's a
little of both. This is a perfect opportunity to
spend one hour being entertained and educated at the same time.
When 13 year old Bakara watched the 1972 movie The Legend of
Boggy Creek, it created his fascination with ape like
creatures who stood erect and walked among the wild.
The initial 1958 sighting in California, which later proved
to be a prank, catapulted the myth into existence and created
a host of conspiracy theories, trackers, researchers and of
course, skeptics. Well, hard not to create
skeptics when you're using language like conspiracy
theorist. Inside the museum, a 45 minute
self-guided tour showcases artifacts, exhibits, videos and
Bigfoot cast, the most extensive collection in the United States.
Upon entry, a Portrait Gallery of researchers, trackers and
contributors to the phenomena invites you to join the
Sasquatch Watch. But Carl also plays homage to
his Boggy Creek inspiration with its trailer of chilling screams
looping continuously. Listening stations put the
howls, grunts and moans inside your ear and erect chill bumps
on your arms. Check out the tech savvy ATV
Bacara and his wife using used during their Florida
investigation. There are head models as well as
life-size renditions. And if you're wondering which
snacks attract Bigfoot, you're in luck.
Apparently peanut butter, honey and zagnet bars are his
favorites. If you would like to leave a
gift for your for your friend, it appears marble and bubble
wrap will do the trick. Read in the Atlantic
Constitution of an 1889 sighting of a Wildman near Lookout
Mountain. Sasquatch sightings have been
registered in every state except Hawaii.
According to Bigfoot Field Research Organization, which
provides the most comprehensive compilation of credible
sightings in North America, 139 reports come from Georgia.
The most recent sighting was in April 2022 in Wilkinson County.
Sightings are listed and notes from a follow up research are
recorded. You'll even find audio files of
the moans and howls for those who have yet to hear the big
guys eerie sounds. But Cara explained that he's
opened his museum to share my astonishment with a phenomena
that is experienced by so many credible people.
The proof that this world is so much more interesting than we
think it is, is something I think most people will
appreciate. Almost every friend I have now
is a Bigfoot researcher or witness.
Ron Morehead, tracker JC Williams, Bigfoot artist and
researcher Sybil Irwin, witness and researcher Michael Cook.
There are so many I can't hardly name them all.
I'm sure have met well over 100 other researchers and count most
of them as a friend and collaborator.
Many of the things in the museum are donated by other researchers
or witnesses. The museum is not only a
collection of artifacts, but also a place for scientific
study and reporting research. PICAR invites those who have
experienced at the counter to share all sightings with the
museum. Contact the museum via e-mail.
Information remains confidential unless the reporter wants it
revealed. Excitement remains endless with
the possible existence of this ape like creature sneaking
through the force of North America, leaving no concrete
evidence that exists. While many mainstream scientists
have balked at the creature's existence, those who claim to
have seen the enormous footprint, heard us chilling
howls and witnesses spectral like movements have no doubt
about its phenomena. Although the result did not
produce its ultimate goal, Finding Bigfoot on Animal Planet
continued through 11 seasons. A clear cut response to
Bigfoot's popularity. The museum is an opportunity to
share witness accounts and scientific evidence to everyday
people that may have no or limited interest in the subject
matter, states Bacara. We all lead very busy lives and
sometimes there's a there's little room to attend a Bigfoot
conference, watch a Bigfoot documentary, or read a Bigfoot
book. Picard believes in the existence
of Sasquatch and understands that for some, it can be a hard
pill to swallow. He extends the evidence,
provides personal accounts, and in the end leaves it up to you
to decide if the creature is real or just a product of an
active imagination. Either way, you will enjoy the
thrill of the hunt for Bigfoot in North Georgia.
Yeah, what a well, not too bad of an article there.
They get a little bit into the skeptic conspiracy theory zone
for just a bit, but overall I think a pretty fair article
about this Bigfoot museum down in Cherry Log, Georgia seems
like a pretty good place to check out.
I found another article here mentioning Bigfoot from Middle
Georgia Times. This is dated 6/23/24, so just
last year. Written by Nate Weeks says news
of the weird Bigfoot and cougar sightings in Middle Georgia.
Cryptids, creatures whose existence is suggested but not
scientifically proven, capture the human imagination, often
boring the lines between folklore and reality.
From the legendary Loch Ness Monster to the elusive Yeti,
cryptids span various cultures and geographies in middle
Georgia. These creatures have sparked
curiosity and speculation. The space shows reports of
Bigfoot and unrecognized animal sightings.
Bigfoot, one of the most famous cryptids in North American
forklore, is described as a large, hairy ape like creature
that inhabits forest. Middle Georgia has its share of
Bigfoot sightings, adding to the legend's mystique. 1 notable
account comes from a local law enforcement officer, Deputy
James P Aiken, who reported seeing large humanoid footprints
in a remote area near Meansville, GA.
Aiken hoot took cash to these prints, was so convinced of
their authenticity that he authored a book detailing his
experience and findings. His account lends credibility
and intrigue to the Bigfoot legend in Middle Georgia.
It's pretty wild another intrigue encrypted light
sighting in middle Georgia involves a creature known by my
many names cougar, Mountain Lion, Puma or Panther.
Throughout the years, there have been many people who have
reported seeing Cougars in central Georgia doesn't seem
like it would be that hard for me to believe.
The resident of Jones County recently captured images of what
appeared to be a cougar on her trail camera.
These images have sparked significant interest and debate
among Georgia residents, who are excited to see evidence of the
large cat existing in Middle Georgia despite being said to be
extinct there. Cougars, which are elusive and
primarily nocturnal, can easily evade human detection, making
their presence difficult to confirm.
The trail camera images from Jones County show a large feline
figure that closely matches the description of a cougar,
reigniting discussions about the possible existence of these
majestic predators in Middle Georgia.
It's kind of funny, A lot of folks don't want to entertain
the idea that Bigfoot could be real, but here we have a cougar,
a common species that we all know about, and they still are
people in Georgia that say, Oh no, that thing doesn't exist
here when we know these things can walk 4 or 500 miles in just
a week or so. I mean, they're notorious
travellers, so why couldn't they see a cougar in Georgia?
I mean, they say these things all over the place if there's
food available to eat, they can be there.
Goes on and says that the Georgia Department of Natural
Resources maintains that there are no established population of
cougar middle Georgia. According to the the DNR, the
only known populations of these large cats in the eastern United
States are in Florida, where the Florida Panther subspecies
resides. Here you go.
You have this government agency that comes in.
They're gonna be the debunkers. They're gonna tell you what you
have to believe. Don't believe your lying eyes.
We know everything. We know so many times that these
guys don't know anything when it comes to what's really roaming
around out there. The DNR admits most Kruger
settings in Georgia to mistaken identity of Bobcats, large dogs
or even house cats being unusual suspects.
However, the sightings in Middle Georgia challenges official
stance. Well, they'll probably end up
having to wait till one of them gets hit on the highway by a car
or something. That's what happens in a lot of
states. And then they can no longer deny
that these things are real. And the thing with Bigfoot may
be the same thing there. Who knows?
Cryptids and unrecognized animal sightings in middle Georgia,
reflecting A broader human fascination with the unknown and
the unexplained. These stories captivate us
because they suggest that the world is full of mysteries
waiting to be discovered. Whether it's the automatic
Bigfoot, meaning the roaming the forest, or the elusive cougar
slipping through the shadows, these sightings remind us of the
wildness that still exist in our world.
Yeah, it definitely is a big world out there.
In conclusion, while cryptids like Bigfoot and unrecognized
animal settings such as the Jones County cougar remain the
subject of debate and skepticism, they continue to
inspire curiosity and wonder. They remind us that our
understanding of the actual world is always evolving and
sometimes the most extraordinary discoveries, like just beyond
the edges of what we consider possible.
Pretty decent article actually. I think fairly open minded.
But yeah, it just goes to show you take a pretty classic well
known animal like a cougar, which is spotted on a game
camera and a habitat that would clearly support a cougar, where
the cougar once was known to roam quite, quite, quite a
population. And then we have the DNR come in
and say, well, there's no Cougars here.
Kind of the same way they tell us there's no such thing as
Bigfoot. So I went over to bfro.net and
that's Bigfoot Research Field Research Organization and got a
couple of these stories I think are pretty cool.
This one, first one is from February 7th, 2012.
It says it actually happened back in 1986 in the summer,
approximately June 15th. Jasper County, Georgia location
details. The closest reference point I
can give is Pennington Rd. and Hughes Rd.
I would have to write back out that way to look at the
property, but I'm sure I can find it.
There was some logging going on back then, so there were lots of
logging roads for us to play around.
Nearest towns. Monticello, nearest Rd.
Pennington Rd. Also noticed, as I mentioned
above, there was a lot of logging going on at the time.
As a result, it created a Creek bottom or bog at the at the back
of the field where the force started.
My buddy and I would ride our bikes down there to watch the
deer water and feed and sometimes we'd catch glimpses of
other animals. There was a drop off due to the
logging, so it was easy to stay out of sight.
On this particular night, some doves were feeding and watering
when they suddenly jerked around, looked up the hill
behind them, flagged, and ran. We waited to see what had
spooked them, and then we saw this creature walking upright
across the hill, moving downward toward where the deer had been.
We had never seen, or have we seen since, an animal move with
that kind of speed combined with such a lazy fluid motion.
It easily covered a couple 100 feet and the second set took us
to recover from the shock of what we were witnessing.
It appeared to be at least 7 feet tall, maybe taller, with
incredible long strides. There was no sound, no
footfalls, no breathing, nothing.
It had broad muscular shoulders, long thick arms, almost knee
length, and a small head that looked almost out of proportion
to its body. We jumped on our bikes and rode
home as fast as we could. We were 14 years old, but we
were visibly upset and crying to my mother about what we saw.
It took about 20 years before the two of us could talk about
that day without getting chills. Neither of us have ever gone
back to that piece of property. My house was across the road
from the property. I lived there for a few more
months but refused to go outside after dark, even under the
threat of punishment from my parents.
My friend was the same way, even though he lived 10 miles away.
Other witnesses, yes, a friend of the same age.
Other stories At the time I had heard a Bigfoot but had never
paid much attention to what it was or what it was supposed to
look like. Since then I've done a lot of
research and have done some field work in Jasper County with
no results. Time and conditions Late evening
lighting was good. It was a clear day and although
the sun was starting to set, there was still plenty of light.
Environment, hardwood forest, small branch or Creek bottoms,
small rolling hills. And then it says follow up
investigation by BFR investigator R Monteith.
I interviewed both gentlemen by telephone.
The primary witness who submitted the report is a police
detective and Army veteran. The encounter occurred when he
was 14 years old. He and his best friend, who is
still his best friend, were riding their bicycles near the
witness's home 1 evening. Their property is rural and
loggers had clear cut large areas about a year prior.
The land had not yet been replanted and BlackBerry bushes
had taken over the clear cuts. The boys rode down a logging Rd.
into a hollow where they often saw deer feeding.
The bank was high and the witness even remembers telling
his friend that the wind would be favorable for them to watch
without the deer catching their scent.
They sat on their bikes behind the BlackBerry bars and observed
the deer. When the deer suddenly alerted,
the boys scanned the hill to find what had spooked them.
They saw what appeared to be a very tall man swiftly walking
toward the deer. It was approximately 150 to 200
yards away under a canopy of hardwood trees.
At first they thought it was a six foot 5 inch tall neighbor
wearing dark clothing, but as it rapidly approached, they
realized it was much taller than the neighbor and definitely not
a man. When it came within about 30
yards, they recognized it as Bigfoot.
Terrified, they spun their bikes around it and rode away as fast
as they could. The witness recalls pulling out
his pocket knife in fear as he peddled home.
Initially, they told their parents about the encounter, but
their parents were dismissive. After that, the boys didn't
speak of it even to each other for many years.
Today they're able to talk about it openly.
After the sighting, neither boy ventured out at dusk or after
dark. Again, the friend refused to
return to the witness house, and they would only play at the
friend's home, which was miles away.
Wow. Other details.
Remember, the Bigfoot was at least 7 feet tall.
It was bipedal with a smooth, fluid and very fast gate.
It had long legs and swung its long arms purposely as it
walked. It's torso was V shaped with
large shoulders and narrow hips. Its color was solid brown or
black and made no noise even when close.
Wow isn't that wild. Made no noise even when close.
This sighting happened back since summer 1996.
July 30th approximately state Georgia County.
Heard County location details Yellowjacket Creek.
There is a small store at the entrance and it's about 1:00 to
2 miles to the lake. Bud could tell you more about
the road numbers and names. I can get Buds phone number if
you'd like to speak with him. You can also call me just let me
know. I've tried off and on for the
past two years to reach someone and tell them what we saw with
no luck. I tried calling A1800 number but
it was no longer in service so I let it go.
But it did happen and I know what I saw.
There's also an elderly man in Tucker, GA who as a young adult
was hunting around Yellow Jacket Creek.
He made his sister drive him an hour to meet me so we could talk
about it. He said no one believed him and
he had been afraid to tell anyone.
As we talked he started to cry. He had to be about 80 at the
time but he remembered it in detail and was so glad someone
else has seen it too. He said now he knew he wasn't
crazy. This days of my mind and I hope
to hear from someone. Thank you.
Nearest town West Point Lake nearest Rd. in and from noon
inside observed it had to be July of 96 on a Sunday, the
month of the blue moon. My friend Bud, my 17 year old
son and I were going fishing on Yellow Creek in West Point, GA.
I suddenly felt we needed to cut our all night fishing trip
short. It was an urgent feeling I
couldn't explain. We left the park around 12:00 or
1:00 AM. There were no lights on the long
road and we were the only ones out at that hour.
We were in a Mitsubishi truck pulling a medium sized boat so
we couldn't go too fast, maybe 20 to 25 mph.
My friend and I both saw something in the headlights and
shouted a deer. At first Bud thought it was a
deer, but I could tell it was much bigger.
He slowed down to get a better look.
The creature was approximately 8 feet tall and about the collar
of a deer. It was walking upright with long
strides. Its arms hung down to its knees
and his head was extremely large, larger than it should
have been. It had sharp, pointy facial
features. The hair on the top of its head
and down the back of its neck was darker, spreading across the
shoulders to about the shoulder blades, then fading out.
The rest of the body was lighter and close to the skin, like a
deer's. It was walking on the right side
of the road. As we approached, it stepped off
the shoulder into a ditch, reached up and pulled down a
mimosa tree limb, almost as if trying to hide its face from us.
We both could see it from the shoulders down.
I saw its ribs, the muscles in its hips, thighs, legs, and part
of its back. That's when I noticed a hair
fading and a shorter closer hair.
I remember his face in detail, it was darker and somewhat
distorted. The cheekbones were almost spiky
for lack of a better word. Bud and I aren't the best of
friends but he will verify everything.
And no, we were not drinking or using any kind of drugs.
It was a Sunday and it was a full moon, the month of a blue
moon, but said for the longest time that it had to be a
werewolf until I told him it had to be a Bigfoot.
Oh, wow. Also notice that it tried to
hide his face. Like, I thought it couldn't see
us if we couldn't see it. Yeah, that.
That's kind of weird behavior, isn't it?
Other witness, bud. Other stories.
As mentioned, the older man who came to talk to me said he saw
something as a young man while hunting.
Time and conditions, 12:00 to 1:00 AM.
Clear skies, no streetlights. Environment mostly Pine
Government Land, Parks and Recreation area and as a follow
up investigation report, it says the observation.
The observant witness provided an additional description at a
phone conversation. The animal was on the right side
of the paved Rd. walking toward the vehicle.
She got a clearview from about 20 to 25 feet away until they
passed it. The car windows were closed and
she did not detect any unusual smell or hear any sound.
The sighting lasted approximately 25 to 40 seconds.
The wiry dark hair on the head was reddish brown, resembling a
mane, and was longer on the back of the head.
Rounded ears were visible through the hair, where the
longer hair thinned through the shoulders.
The body here it became a light fawn collar, similar to a deer,
not and very short. The face was darker than the
body. The head was round rather than
the knob long, with pointy features around the eyebrows and
cheekbones, she said. The features were distorted with
grooves and sunken areas in the face.
She didn't get a good view of the mouth, but noted the lips
were lighter in cooler than the face and fuller than human lips.
The nose was described as neanderthally wide with a
slightly raised bridge. The eyes were deep set.
The animal was enormous, about 8 feet tall and had the build of
obsessive weight lifter. There was no visible fat.
The glutes bulged, the pictorials were massive, and she
saw strong muscles in the rib cage and arms.
Though no genitalia were visible, she assumed it was male
due to the lack of breast. She believed it was young based
on his powerful build. Her closest look came as they
passed the animal while it turned away, using the mimosa
branch to hide his face. Bud, the passenger, confirmed
the sighting. He described seeing a big, tall,
hairy animal with fur all over him and said the creature was
stout. Wow.
The elderly man who came to visit her said the animal he saw
was also fond collar. He told her he was in a deer
stand as a young man. When he saw it, he was so
frightened that he stayed in the stand in the dark and then fired
several shots into the air so his friends could find him.
Afterward, he ran from the woods, sold his guns and never
returned. The witness concluded
empathetically this was no man in a suit.
I saw muscles moving under hair. It was like a man walking.
Wow, isn't that really something?
We'll do one more sighting here and wrap this up.
This says. Submitted by witness on December
3rd, 2016. State Georgia County Haralson
County Details Approximately 1 1/2 miles up Vincent Mountain
Rd. after turning off Hwy. 120. The sighting occurred on the
left side of the road across from a church nearest Rd.
Hwy. 120 and Vincent Mountain Rd.
Observed on our way home to Rockmart, GA from Birmingham,
AL. We were following GPS directions
which brought us to Hwy. 120 and Vincent Mountain Rd.
We had just made the turn and driven about a mile and 1/2 when
my husband and I both saw a large figure standing in the
tree line. There was illumination coming
from the right side of the road from an additional light source
besides arc headlights. This allowed us to clearly see
the figure on the left side of the road.
One of its arms was hanging straight down and the other was
moving slightly. I believe that the arm movement
is what caught our attention and caused both of us to look left,
clearly allowing us to view the creature.
It was covered in reddish brown fur from head to toe with a face
I can only describe as ape like. It appeared to be over 7 feet
tall. He or she seemed to be preparing
to cross the road. After about 15 seconds pass, we
both screamed out. Did you just see what I saw?
I've never been a big believer in the legend of Bigfoot, but I
know what I saw tonight. I am floored.
I've never written to any site like this about anything in my
life and I certainly didn't expect to start at 56 years old.
Thank you for your time. And it says also noticed nothing
else comes to mind. The witnesses, myself and my
husband. Time and conditions
approximately 10:30 PM. It was drizzling after over 30
days without significant rainfall.
The area was an extreme drought environment, forested area.
There was a small store at the intersection.
Just down the road from where we saw the creature there is a
church. I believe the floodlight from
the church provided the backlighting that allowed us to
see it clearly and then follow up investigator by BFO
investigator David Bacara. I spoke with both witnesses and
they seemed level headed and still excited about what they
had seen that night. It was approximately 10:30 PM
when they were driving home to Rockmart, GA from Birmingham,
AL. Their 20 year old daughter was
asleep in the back seat at the time.
It was drizzling lightly. A welcome changes.
Georgia was in the midst of a statewide drought.
This was the first sign of precipitation in two months.
After turning onto Vincent Mountain Rd. and traveling
approximately 1 1/2 miles, the wife noticed slight movement on
the left side of the road. The figure was about 50 feet
ahead and the car was traveling around 45 mile per hour.
It was partially eliminated by parking lot lights from a church
directly across the street. The witness said that if it
hadn't moved slightly, they might not have seen it.
It was standing between 2 trees about 15 feet from the car and
stood between 7 to 8 feet tall. It was covered in reddish orange
brown hair and had a face that resembled a mix between a man
and a gorilla. The witness believed the
movement that drew their attention came from his left
arm. They observed the creature for a
total of about 6 seconds. The wife said it looked looked
like it was about to step out and cross the road.
The creature that watched the couple is he drove by.
The wife was able to look back through the rear glass and still
see it in the church lights. It wasn't until they had driven
another mile down the road that the husband asked did you see
anything back there? They both immediately agreed
they had just seen a Bigfoot. The witness stated they couldn't
imagine it being anything else. It was far too tall to be a
person in a costume. Yeah, I guess so.
And it says that David has three daughters and a wife who share
his interest in Bigfoot research.
Together, they've developed a deep respect for nature and
extensive knowledge of the outdoors and outlife.
He has attended the Northern Florida Expeditions in 2011.
Washington, 2012, N Florida, 2012.
A former U.S. Navy member, he now works as a
leasing agent and spends his free time investigating Bigfoot
reports in the woods as often as possible.
It's great to have these guys volunteer to do this stuff, to
conduct these investigations. Well, I hope you like the
program today. If you did, don't forget to like
follow subscribe until next time.
This is UFO warning over and out.
