Hello and welcome to the program UFO Warning.
In this episode we're talking about Vermont Bigfoot Reports.
That's correct, Vermont Bigfoot reports.
Found these over at bfro.net. Lots of cool stuff over there.
This first one comes to us from October 8th, 2005, Windsor
County, Vermont. It says the location is Tyson
Road off Route 100 just outside of Ludlow, Vermont.
The area consists of heavily wooded and desolate terrain and
nearest town at Ludlow, nearest Rd.
Tyson Rd. Observed.
My family and I traveled to Ludlow, Vt for Columbus Day
weekend as we enjoyed the northeastern woods.
We love observing local flora and fauna in their natural
settings, often driving or walking along back roads in
search of deer, moose, bear, and any other wildlife we could
spot. One evening we decided to go
moose spotting on Tyson Rd. During a previous summer trip to
the same area, we'd observed 8 moose at a single sighting.
As we drove along Tyson Rd. I saw a large bipedal figure
cross the road in just two strides.
I immediately asked one of my daughter's, Did you see that?
Tell me what you saw. I deliberately avoided
describing what I had seen to ensure I wasn't imagining it and
to verify she had witnessed the same thing.
Without hesitation she responded.
I don't know what it was, but it was really big, maybe 8 feet
tall, hairy, and across the road in two steps.
She had seen exactly what I had, the figure across the road about
50 feet ahead of us. Based on the trees at the
crossing point, I would estimate her height assessment to be
accurate within about 20%. My other daughter, sitting in
the back seat and looking out the side windows, did not see
it. I still find it hard to believe,
but I know what bear, deer and moose look like in their natural
habitat. I've been hunting for 40 years.
This creature was unlike anything I've ever seen in the
woods. I walked across the road in two
strides, had a heavily built frame, was covered in short dark
hair, and as mentioned earlier, was approximately 8 feet tall.
One more thing, the day before we had driven through the same
area. We didn't see any wildlife at
all, but we did hear strange vocalizations eerily similar to
the recordings available on your website.
And it says also notice the day before we had driven through the
same area and saw no wildlife. However, we had heard
vocalizations which strongly resemble recordings on your
website by the witnesses. There were three of us in a car,
but only two of us saw the figures across the road.
Other stories I've been told that locals warn children not to
hang out in the area because strange things sometimes happen
there. I'm not sure what those strange
things are, so I don't know if it's relevant.
Time and conditions. It was evening, but with the
moonlight in our car's headlights, visibility was
clear. Environment.
The road at this point is bordered by dense woods and
swamp. This is follow up investigation.
I spoke to the witness by phone. Is he and he came across as
articulate and sincere. He emphasized that he might have
doubted his own experience had his daughter not been in the
front seat. Independently corroborating his
account, he added a few additional details to his
report. The figure turned its head
toward the car as it crossed the road.
It resembled the figure from the Patterson Gimlin film with the
same pronounced arm swing, though it was not as heavily
built. Its head appeared conical.
It's visible closer hand looked massive.
Yeah, very cool sighting. Take a look at this next one
here. This report stated May 24th
2015. Also Windsor County Vermont Park
Rangers are trying to keep this quiet but they have reports of
Bigfoot sightings and tracks. The tracks I saw were on the
futures trail above the first parking lot and below.
Power alliance at mount a scrutiny State Park in Windsor,
Vt. It's interesting.
Nearest town Windsor, Windsor, Vermont.
Nearest Rd. a scrutiny Parkway. Then it says observed.
I researched mountain lions in New Hampshire, but I had been
caring for my mother and hadn't been out in the field since
Christmas Day 2014. On May 24th, 2015, I decided to
go for a walk, Not for research, just for enjoyment.
I arranged to meet up with someone, but she walked much
faster than I did and eventually it left me behind at the power
line. I was far downhill, but
determined to at least make it up to the power line.
When I reached it and turned back toward the car, I noticed 2
huge prints near a tree by the trail.
As I got closer, I saw that the heels were embedded three to
four inches deep in the soil and leaves.
The footprints touched at the heels with the toes pointing
outward, resembling a duck's feet.
They appeared to be about 15 inches long, though it was
difficult to measure precisely due to the uneven terrain,
leaves and grass. I took photos and measurements
because even on a casual walk I always bring a camera and a tape
measure. What struck me was that this
tree was in an ideal spot for ambush hunting.
The future trail passes right by it.
The power line was just above and behind the tree was a Park
Rd. From this vantage point, an
animal could easily hunt prey from six different directions.
On my way back to the car, I saw two more tracks to the right of
the trail. One measured about 10 inches
while the other seemed to be 15 inches long with a 10 inch long
track inside it. The toes of the larger print
were 5 inches across with three of them deeply embedded in the
bank. The other toes extended over the
hardened trail. Additionally, I noticed a 5 by 6
inch parallelogram shaped impression.
I regret not taking a photo of it.
Later. I saw footage of a knuckle
walking gorilla on TV and thought that's what that was.
The parallelogram shaped impression was actually a
knuckle print and it was deep at the bottom of the trail.
I asked a park Ranger if he could make a cast at the Prince.
He declined but told me I could do it myself.
I brought back plaster of Paris, but he didn't have enough
material. By the time I returned a few
days later, it had rained. The cast turned out poorly,
there were too many leaves, and the toes broke off.
The most interesting part of this encounter was that the park
Ranger acknowledged my report, saying, yeah, we get lots of
reports of Bigfoot, but we try to keep it on the down low.
However, when I asked him about Mountain Lion sightings, his
reaction was completely different.
He seemed nervous and asked. You think there are mountain
lions up there? It struck me as odd that Bigfoot
sighting seemed normal to him while mountain lions were
considered unusual. Later I heard from someone else
that the same Ranger had been followed down the hill by
something he nicknamed Roy. He was hoping it was a Bigfoot
and not a Mountain Lion. As part of his job, he clears
the trails and ensures that everyone is off the mountain.
That night he was also escorted off the mountain, whether
whatever was following him stayed the same distance behind.
The strangest part of the experience was that Bigfoot
reports seemed commonplace, but Mountain Lion sightings were
treated as unusual. I've personally documented the
Mountain Lion sighting on this mountain.
Also, the park Ranger named whatever followed him Roy and
hoped it was a Bigfoot rather than a cougar.
Other witnesses? Just me until I brought friends
back to help carry the heavy plaster of Paris.
By then I had partially filled in the larger pair of tracks by
the tree. Wow.
Time and conditions at 11:30 AM. Environment.
Wooded area on a trail between the power line and Mount
Scrutiny Parkway. The tracks were found just
before a curve in the trail leading up to the power line.
This is follow up investigation report by BFR investigator Jeff
Shepherd. I spoke with the hiker by phone
for approximately 1 1/2 hours. She was very straightforward,
upbeat and enthusiastic about discussing her hobby at Mountain
Lion research, which has LED her to multiple sightings So what
she believes to be Bigfoot tracks.
She is a 67 year old retired librarian and currently an
artist, writer, publisher. I found her to be sincere and
credible. Her initial sighting of
potential Bigfoot tracks on mount Scrutiny occurred during a
casual hike while she was taking a break from caring for her
elderly mother. She had not been in the field
for nearly five months. The tracks she found measured 15
inches in length and were embedded 2 to 4 inches into the
ground. They were located near a tree at
a strategic intersection where the trail crosses a set of power
lines and comes within 100 feet of the outer Rd. leading up the
mountain. She believes this location would
be ideal for a predator as it offers a concealed vantage point
overlooking multiple travel routes.
On her way back to the parking lot, she observed a second large
print with a smaller 10 inch footprint inside of it.
She also discovered what she later identified as a deep
knuckle print, similar to those made by gorillas.
She attempted to make cast of the prints but was unsuccessful
due to insufficient plaster and poor weather conditions.
She reported her finding to the park Ranger.
He acknowledged that there had been numerous Bigfoot reports,
but said they tried to keep it on the down low.
However, when she mentioned Mountain Lion sightings, he
seemed uneasy. The hiker later learned that the
Ranger had been followed down the hill by something he
nicknamed Roy, but she hoped was a Bigfoot rather than a Mountain
Lion. The hiker provided photographs
and measurements of the tracks and shared them with me in a
timely manner. I visited Mountain Scrutiny on
July 30th, 2016, approximately 14 months after her discovery.
I was able to locate the exact area where she had found the
footprints and agreed that it would be an advantageous
location for an ambush predator. Unfortunately, too much time had
passed and I found no trace of the prints.
The conditions at the time were not ideal for fighting tracks,
as the area was experiencing a drought and the forest floor was
covered in leaf litter. However, I did come across a few
unusual tree manipulations that seemed out of place.
Other reports have attributed similar tree manipulations to
supposed Bigfoot activity. During my hike, I traveled
approximately 1 1/2 miles up the mountain to see the steam donkey
and antique piece of locking equipment abandoned in the early
1900s. Strangely, the forest was eerily
silent. I did not see or hear any birds
or animals during my 2 hour hike, nor did I encounter any
other hikers. Before leaving, I stopped at the
Ranger station and inquired about Bigfoot activity.
The young man I spoke with claimed he was unaware of any
reports, but suggested I return when the senior park Ranger was
on duty. Yeah, pretty cool sighting
there. They do have some pictures here.
It's definitely some kind of a track.
It looks like to me that she's she's recorded cool sighting.
Take a look at some more here. This one says October 17th,
2015. Couple has possible early
morning sighting while driving outside Battle Borough, Windham
County, Vermont. Location details.
We were heading east on Route 9 into Battleborough.
This happened just after the after the Dollar General.
There is a large swampy area nearby very close to Green
Mountain. National Forest goes on.
It says nearest route nearest road Route 9 E West nearest town
in Battleborough, Vermont. Observed at about 5:30 AM on
Route 9 in West Battleborough, Vermont.
My husband and I saw a small, I don't know what creature running
across the road. It was about 3 to 4 feet tall,
covered in long dark brown to black hair and running on two
legs. I caught the creature clearly in
my headlights. The one thing we both noticed
was his speed. Faster than any animal we had
ever seen, it crossed the road into the swampy area near the
small Whetstone Brook. There were tall reeds and it
quickly disappeared into them. We did not stop.
In retrospect, I wish I had. It might have answered some
questions. We both had other witnesses.
Only my husband and I saw it. We did not see any other cars on
the road at the time. Other stories For the past month
or so we have been hearing strange hooting and screams in
the early morning hours. We are early risers between 3:00
and 5:00 AM and most mornings we jokingly say to each other, I
wonder if that was a Bigfoot. However, we had never seen
anything until today. Very odd time and conditions.
5:30 AM weather, partly cloudy, dry roads.
Sun was not up yet, but the creature was fully illuminated
by my headlights. Follow up investigation by Tim
Vogel. The couple was heading to their
local gym, as they did every morning on a crisp October
morning. The figure that ran across the
road was about 3 to 4 feet tall, covered in long dark brown to
black hair, approximately 10 inches long, with exceptionally
long arms and running on two legs.
It's movement was smooth and incredibly fast.
They caught the creature clearly in their headlights.
Both witnesses emphasized the speed faster than any animal
they had ever seen. Across the road from Doubt, from
the Dollar General side into the swampy area near the Whetstone
Bank, disappearing into the tall reeds.
Being lifelong Vermonters and familiar with the area of the
Green Mountains, the couple was certain that this was unlikely.
Any animal native to that area, Man, that's cool.
It says about the investigator. Tim Vogel is the owner of Tacoa
Mountain Outdoors and outdoor adventure education business
located in western Massachusetts.
He is a BFRO NE investigator and has attended and taught tracking
and casting workshops as well as provided demonstrations on Fleur
technology. His experience includes Co
leading VFRO Western Mass 2018 expeditions and then
participation in the 2017 Western Mass and then it says
Pennsylvania in 2016. Tim is also a member of Team
Sasquatch and had been interested in Bigfoot since
Bigfoot research since 1976, when an unknown creature with
large footprints passed to his family's backyard. 1 winter day.
Yeah, nothing like that. They pique your interest a
little bit, huh? Very cool sighting there too.
This report happened in the fall of 2015 and November,
specifically Washington County, Vermont.
Possible encounter while hunting near Northfield Falls.
Location details The area consists of white pine ridges
with hardwoods in between, forming a bowl.
At the center there is an old Beaver pond now turned into a
Meadow, approximately 200 yards by 100 yards with an adjoining
active multi level Beaver pond. There are no houses or roads
nearby and despite my frequent visits, I have never encountered
another person in the area. Signs of moose and BlackBerry
are abundant. Nearest town Northfield Falls.
Nearest Rd. Devils washable.
Observed on two separate mornings while deer hunting in a
fairly remote section of Washington County, I experienced
something unusual Before sunrise.
After hearing tree breaks and knocks at close range, something
screamed or whooped at me. I am a Vermont native, having
grown up hunting, camping, fishing, and spending much of my
life immersed in the outdoors. While I am familiar with the
subject of Bigfoot, I've never experienced anything like this
before. Since both mornings were clear,
cold, and extremely quiet, I'd hiked into my hunting spot,
leaving my vehicle around 5:00 AM and arriving at my
destination at around 5:45 AM. After changing into dry
underlayers, I shut off my light and settled in to wait for first
light. The activity began within
minutes of dousing my light. The incident occurred November
2015. Also notice I frequently hiked,
haunted and set up camera traps in the area both day and night
over the past couple of years. The location is rich in local
lore and is historically said to be the home of the Pig Man.
Other witnesses, Unfortunately no other stories.
This past spring, a man from Wastefield, the neighboring
town, posted on the Front Porch Forum that while hiking on the
vast trail in the southwestern basin of Wastefield Mountain, he
observed a tall, hairy, bipedal creature dragging a dead goat by
its horns up into the Cliff band.
He advised others to be cautious if in the area.
Well, I guess so. Time early morning before
sunrise, Weather clear, cold environment.
Remote white pine ridges with hardwoods in between.
Yeah, that's really. That's really cool.
This one says it happened in the summer of 1995.
Rutland County, Vermont a possible prowling at tender at
Tinker Brook shelter in Calvin Coolidge State Forest location
that details The shelter is located in Calvin Coolidge State
Forest along an old logging trail off Shrewsbury Rd.
A seasonal road. Shrewsbury Rd. intersects Route
100 just South of Plymouth and continues over the mountains
toward Shrewsbury and Rutland. Nearest town Plymouth nearest
road. Route 100 observed I planned a
weekend mountain biking trip with my cousin in central
Vermont near Plymouth within Calvin Coolidge State Forest.
We chose to stay at Tinker Brook Shelter, located on the
outskirts of the forest near the backside of Killington Peak.
The area's steep topography made it an appealing challenge for
mountain biking. According to the Park Rangers I
spoke with beforehand, very few people visit the shelter due to
the required hike in a lack of 4 by 4 access.
The shelter itself sits on the edge of a steep, forested
ravine, offering no trails and an extremely isolated setting.
To get there, we traveled up Shrewsbury Rd. which intersects
Route 100 S of Plymouth. The road climbs sharply up the
nearest mountain and a series of switchbacks.
We parked our vehicle at a bend in the road where the Tinker
Brook Shelter Trail begins. This trail, heavily blocked by
boulders and easy to miss, leads about 3/4 of a mile to the
shelter. After setting up camp, we
explored the area. The ravine was so steep that
climbing out required using the tree roots for support.
As night fell, we went to bed around 9:00 PM, leaving a small
campfire burning near the shelter's entrance.
A few hours later, 12:00 AM, my cousin woke me up saying he was
hearing and feeling knocks on the shelter.
Initially dismissing it, I told him to go back to sleep until I
heard and felt it myself. The sounds were like something
larger pushing against the shelter.
Assuming it was a moose or bear, I grabbed a flashlight and went
around back within a minute of hearing the noise.
Again, nothing was there. This continued periodically
until around 3:00 AM. At times I felt the bumping
sounds near my side of the shelter.
Unable to sleep, I eventually gathered all the firewood close
to the entrance and kept a large fire burning for the rest of the
night. In the morning we searched for
any damage to the shelter but found none.
We also checked the ground for tracks, disturbed rocks, scrapes
or huff marks but again, nothing.
After this in settling experience, we decided not to
stay another night and left the area.
Also noticed nothing unusual beside the sounds and movements.
Other witnesses. My cousin.
Other stories I have seen scattered reports in the BFRO
database of similar sightings along a line running through
central Vermont and to the adionics.
I have visited some of these areas before but have never had
experience like this. Time and condition is 12:00 AM
to 3:00 AM. Weather cool temperatures no
rain. Light conditions very dark night
in the woods, little to no moonlight.
Possible cloud cover. Environment A forested ravine
consisting of pine and oak trees.
Yeah. Follow up investigation by BFO
investigator Matthew Moneymaker if a Sasquatch was responsible
for thumping the shelter. The behavior is consistent with
low level harassment reported in the in other regions.
More intense harassment in intimidation often occur in
remote areas, leading we need to believe it happens when humans
unknowingly intrude on Sasquatch habitation areas.
The Tinker Brook Shelter in Coolidge State Forest may still
be a promising location for camping, especially given its
proximity to a remote wooded ravine.
That's pretty cool. Just imagine being in that
remote of an area and having these pounding thumpings on the
side of the shelter that you're in.
It would really give you pause to stop and think.
This next one is dated August 6th, 2019 that says Lamoille
County, Vermont nearest town Eden, Vermont nearest road route
118 observed. The sighting occurred August
6th, 2019 at 10:50 at 10:15 AM at our Vermont Summer Cabinet.
I am 67 years old. I retired RN and a former
private pilot with excellent vision. 2015 so I was not
mistaken. This was not a bear.
We have had a bear near our deck before so I know what they look
like when standing up to reach a feeder.
It was a sunny day and my small Chihuahua mix was outside in her
cage. She started barking so I walked
out onto the front deck and looked toward the dirt Rd. where
she was focused. Our cabin sits approximately 125
feet from the road. I saw a tall black humanoid
figure walking on two legs past our driveway.
It was hunched over at first, then straightened up.
Its long arms swung as it moved. Its head was turned away,
appearing to have a short neck and a roundish shape.
From my angle, I remember saying to myself, that looks like a
chimp. I watched for about 12 seconds
as it disappeared into the trees heading east along the road.
There are gaps in the trees where I can see the neighbor's
driveway, so I expected to see it continue up the road or on to
the driveway, but it never reappeared.
Curious, I walked out to the end of the driveway about 200 feet
with my air horn, but there was nothing visible for some
distance. Later that day, I went to the
area where I had seen the figure.
My small dog refused to walk away as visibly trembling.
This is the same dog that once nearly broke through a screen
door trying to attack a bear. At our feeder I noticed an area
of bent weeds, likely where the creature had exited the woods,
crossed a small ditch and stepped onto the road before
passing my driveway. On the roadside in the direction
it had travelled, I found 3 barefoot heel impressions with
faint tail marks, each about 12 inches long.
The area was dry with fine gravel, so the prints were very
clear. The week before, I had heard
twigs snapping and weeds rustling behind my fenced garden
about 40 feet from the front porch, right off the set.
My dog barked. The noise stopped, then started
again. I fired my air horn, which I
always keep nearby after an encounter with a large, coy
wolf. That's strange.
Yeah, says also noticed vent weeds and previous unusual
noises. Other witnesses known.
I have a newspaper clipping of a big folks sighting in 1990 in
Eden, Vt about 5 miles away. Time and conditions 10:15 AM.
Weather Sunny, dry light conditions bright daylight.
Heavily wooded area on both sides of dirt road. 3 driveways
within 200 feet leaving the cabins.
Follow up investigation report by BFRO investigator Jeff
Shepherd on September 28th, 2019.
I conducted a site visit and it says location removed in
Vermont. Speaking with the homeowner
about her encounter on August 6th, 2019, she provided a
detailed account of her sighting and shared additional unusual
experiences from her property. The witness was very open and
eager to share her story. She also provided background on
the local geography and wildlife, including a bull moose
that had passed through just hours before my arrival.
The sighting that morning, she had placed her Chihuahua outside
in a large metal cage due to a previous encounter with a koi
wolf. I guess they made a cross
between a coyote and a wolf. That's strange.
When she heard the dog growling, she stepped outside to check.
Assuming the koi wolf had returned, she followed the dog's
gaze and heard footsteps in the woods between her property and
the neighbor's lot. Expecting to see a deer since
they often cut through that area, she watched closely.
To her surprise, instead of a deer, she saw a black, slightly
hunched over figure stepping out of the drainage ditch onto the
driveway. His posture and the length of
its arms caught her attention immediately.
Unfortunately, it never turned to her face as it was looking
across the road toward the forest.
She quickly repositioned herself on her porch, trying to catch
another glimpse of the creature through a gap in the trees near
her neighbour's house. After several seconds without
seeing it reappear, she grabbed her air horn and walked up the
road to look. It was gone.
Realizing the significance of what she had just seen, she
approached her neighbor to ask if he had seen anyone or had
guests staying over. He had neither.
However, he mentioned that a bear had recently been recently
been in the area rummaging through his garbage.
She was adamant that what she saw was not a bear.
Having frequently observed bears in her property, including a
including one standing in her garden, she noted that their
legs and arms are much shorter relative to their bodies than
the creatures she witnessed. Evidence found matted grass and
the drainage ditch where the creature had stepped onto the
road. The footprint at the bottom of
the driveway showing a heavy heel strike and faint toe
impressions. Estimated height approximately 6
feet based on her husband standing at a siding location.
Subsequent experiences August 16th, 2019 While hiking near her
home, she knocked 3 * a hollow tree with her hiking stick.
She received 6 knocks in response from across the across
the river behind her property. She attempted another series of
10 knocks and received 6 responses.
Feeling uneasy, she decided to leave.
September 19th, 2019. While walking 1/2 mile from her
home through dense pine forest, she saw someone or something
throwing rocks into a tall tree, knocking pine cones to the
ground. She stayed quiet and watched his
the rock and watched his rock. After a rock hit the tree, the
thrower was hidden in the thick vegetation across a small
stream. A passing neighbor gave her an
excuse to leave quickly. The next day, she and her
husband returned to investigate. They found that all the pine
cones were gone, suggesting that whatever had knocked them down
had collected them. Witness Background Retired nurse
and private pilot. Lives seasonally in Vermont and
winters in Florida. Has lived in this rural area for
approximately 5 years. Well integrated into the
community where others have shared their own Bigfoot
encounters. Local context A home is located
in a remote setting about 30 minutes South of the Canadian
border. The land slopes into a valley
with the pristine river behind a property nearby.
Parallel line clearings run through the wilderness. close
proximity to Long Trail State Forest.
The region has diverse wildlife including boost marrow and trout
in the river. I found the homeowner to be a
sincere and credible witness, says about BFR investigator Jeff
Shepherd. Jeff is a middle school
technology engineering teacher from Massachusetts.
He loves the outdoors, enjoys hiking and camping with his wife
and dogs. His interest in cryptozoology
began at a young age. Very cool.
We'll do three more here and wrap this up.
This one's dated November 1984. Chittenden County, Vermont
Location details Colchester, Vermont Route 2 nearest town
Colchester nearest Rd. Vermont Route 2 Observed in
November 1984 between 12:00 and 1:00 AM.
The night my niece was born there was a snowstorm.
My brother-in-law had a custom car and wanted to go home to
Milton to switch to his older car.
Due to the sudden snowfall. My husband, brother-in-law, 3
year old nephew and I drove from Milton leading to my house in
Winooski. We got as far as Colchester when
the snow became severe causing the car to slide into a ditch.
My nephew began to cry and scream so we flagged down a
truck to take me and my nephew home so I could call a tow
truck. I left my husband and
brother-in-law in Colchester. While they were waiting they
started to hear noises in the woods like trees breaking.
Then they heard something approaching in their direction,
stomping on two legs. My husband, who was a hunter,
could tell by the sound that it was walking upright.
The noise of breaking trees got closer so they backed away to
the other side of the road. They couldn't run because the
road was too slippery and they were only wearing sneakers.
As it approached it began to part the trees, but suddenly the
church truck arrived. At that moment they heard the
creature running back into the woods, breaking everything in
its path. My husband and brother-in-law
were very scared and they told me what had happened.
I only half believe them. The next day I drove through the
same area and looked around. I saw fields and woods which
looked peaceful, making me think they were imagining things.
That evening I had to pick up my husband in Milton.
I had my daughters with me, ages 10 and 13, and I was pregnant at
the time. Later that night we headed back
to Winooski and wouldn't you know it, the snowstorm started
again at exactly midnight. As we drove through the same
spot as the night before, I told my husband about looking around
earlier and that there was nothing unusual.
Then suddenly I saw it. It had just crossed the road and
was climbing up a hill. It was staring at us, one foot
on a wire fence, holding the wire down with its arm while it
continued to stare. It was not brown, but white with
dirty yellow streaks. Its eyes, oh, they scared me.
They reflected a yellow amber collar, similar to caution
lights. The creature was huge, at least
10 feet tall, with very long arms.
Its fur was long and the only part of his face that wasn't
covered in fur was around its eyes and upper cheeks.
My husband started to slow down for better luck, but I freaked
out and started hitting him because I was so scared.
My daughters were screaming so I kept so we kept driving.
All I could think about were its eyes and I was terrified.
We wondered if anyone else knew it was out there.
Since that sighting, I can't help but wonder if these
creatures change color with the seasons like Jack rabbits.
Brown in the summer and white in the winter.
Do the heavy snowfall each night.
It was impossible to find tracks so other witnesses.
First night, my husband and brother-in-law after our car
slid into the ditch. The second night, myself, my
husband and my two daughters. Time and conditions.
Twelve 12:30 AM. Heavy snowstorm both nights.
The creature crossed the road from the mountain range.
There was a swampy area between where it was and when it and
where it was headed. A hill leading to a hill leading
to pine trees. Beyond that there are fields and
more woods. Even though it's a long time
ago, they still remember it, don't they?
Very cool. Do two more here.
This one happened August 2005, Bennington County, Vermont.
It says location details. You need to take Vermont route
7A. The turn off for the park is
labeled. I'm not sure the exact
directions before that but if you reach the Equinox hotel you
have gone too far. Nearest town Manchester.
I don't remember the name of the road but it was the main road
that leads to Hill 9 Mansion observed.
I am a Civil War reenactor and I was participating in an event on
the grounds of Hildene. I guess Hildene HILDEDENE
Mansion which is which is Robert Todd Lincoln's home near
Manchester, Vermont. We were camped on the front lawn
of the mansion which is bordered on two sides by woods.
The entire area was somewhat secluded, with the house located
about half a mile from the main Rd.
In the middle of Friday night, around 1:00 to 2:00, AMI woke up
and walked to the building beside the main house to use the
restroom. As I left my tent and made my
way there, I heard footsteps in the woods near me.
The footsteps seem to follow me all the way to the restroom, and
as I walked back, they followed me again.
The entire time I had an uneasy feeling as though I was being
watched. The next night, Saturday, I was
sitting around the campfire at approximately 11:00 PM talking
with others, when we heard footsteps coming from inside the
woods next to us. We shined a flashlight toward
the area where the sound was coming from, and as soon as we
did, the noise stopped. However, as soon as we turn the
flashlight off, we heard the footsteps again, this time
moving away from us. Both nights, the footsteps
sounded like they belong to a large animal.
From what I could hear, it seemed like something walking on
2 feet. While there were other groups at
the event, I don't believe it was another person as there were
clear trails they could have used instead.
Additionally, it was so late at night and there were no lanterns
or flashlights visible as other witnesses.
On Saturday night, there were two other people with me around
the fire and we all heard the footsteps.
I have talked to them and tried to get them to submit a report,
but they have refused. Time and conditions Friday night
around 1:00 to 2:00 AM. It was dark with only moonlight
which was very clear. No wind.
There was some lighting near the building with the restrooms.
Saturday night summer conditions but we were sitting around a
campfire. Environment The location is on a
hill overlooking a River Valley. The the area consists of wooded
landscape surrounding a large house and its grounds.
Follow up investigation report by BFR investigator Christopher
Knoll. I spoke with the witness and he
is sincere. He reiterated that he was
reluctant to file a report until recently, when he learned more
about the subject on Friday night.
What made him most nervous was that the footprints followed him
to the restroom. Initially, he thought an animal
might have coincidentally been walking in the same direction,
but that the steps followed him back afterward.
Additionally, the footsteps were distinctly bipedal, and they did
not follow the trails, but instead moved through leaves and
underbrush inside the woods without any visible light.
Source. On Saturday, he and a couple,
whom he described as very practical, clearly heard the
footsteps while sitting around a campfire at the edge of the
woods. Again, the sounds came from deep
enough within the forest that a flashlight could not reach the
source. Man, pretty spooky, huh?
OK, we'll do one last one here. This last one gives us a date of
either 1995 or 96 as Summer says Lamoille County, Vermont
location details. The incident occurred 2 to 3
miles outside of Mooresville Village in a field just off the
road nearest town, Mooresville observed.
This story takes place around 1995 at my uncle's cabin in
Mooresville, Vermont. I had been visiting on a summer
day with my aunt and uncle. They have a small hand built
cabin in Mooresville which they have owned since the early
1970s. They are only there
infrequently, so similar events may have occurred that they are
unaware of. The cabin itself is sits in the
middle of an open field on a small plot of land approximately
1 acre, sandwiched between two farms which are located on
either side of it at a distance. The nearest house is about 3/4
of a mile away. The field is bordered on the
other side on the other two sides by a dirt road and a
heavily wooded Ridge. On this particular summer
evening after dinner, we were winding down inside the cabin
when my uncle noticed a noise in the distance.
My aunt and I soon noticed it as well.
Listening closely, I can only describe the high pitched sound
is exactly like that of a child screaming in agony, as if they
were being torn in half. I know that sounds morbid, but
but that is the only way I can actually describe it.
It was blood curdling. We continued listening and
noticed that the noise was both ongoing and getting closer.
It was coming from at least 3/4 of a mile away at the top of the
Ridge. My uncle and I stepped outside
to get a better sense of what was happening.
My uncle is a lifelong hunter and experienced outdoorsman.
This guy knows more about the New England wilderness than
Grizzly Adams. He told me the noise was
definitely from an animal, was getting closer and was moving
down the Ridge at what he estimated to be around 20 mph,
screaming as it ran. Now that's really fast running
through the timber and I can tell you.
He also said he had never heard anything like it in his life.
Being a very practical man, he speculated that it might be a
Jack rabbit as they make odd noises during mating season.
No joke. However, whatever this thing
was, it was running toward us, still at a comfortable distance
about 1/4 mile away. Keep in mind this was the middle
of nowhere at approximately 11:00 PM.
We had only 1 Lantern in the cabin and aside from that it was
pitch black outside. As it moved closer, we heard
dogs barking in response to its cries.
My uncle noted that this thing was moving from house to house
on the Ridge, waking up dogs as it went.
It particularly seemed to agitate 1 property where a man
raised German Shepherds. My uncle deduced this from the
direction of the screams and the intensity of the dogs barking.
An unusual reaction for a jackrabbit to provoke.
At this point, my uncle asked my aunt to fetch his pistol in a
flashlight. We stood in the porch for about
15 minutes, listening as a creature moved around.
Then suddenly it started heading straight for us.
Maybe it had seen the cabin. I asked my uncle if we should go
inside, but he told me not to worry, we were well armed.
The screaming had started and stopped a few times during the
incident, allowing us to estimate its position.
Then, within 100 feet of us, it let out another scream, stopped
for a moment, then abruptly turned and ran fast in the
opposite direction. All we could make out was a dark
shape and a pair of eyes reflecting our flashlight about
four feet off the ground. It then headed straight down the
valley, continuing to wake up dogs as it screamed while moving
away. We never did find out what it
was. Even now the hair on the back of
my neck stands up just thinking about it.
Under also notice it says I have no knowledge of anything else
unusual happening in connection with this incident.
The field was covered in high, thick grass.
While it was evident that something had run through the
area quickly, there were no discernible footprints or hair
left behind. Other witnesses, My uncle, my
aunt and I had just finished eating and were talking outside,
talking inside the cabin when we first heard the sound and
environment. The description of the landscape
and surroundings is detailed in the main report above.
Yeah, wow. Could you just imagine being out
there in the middle of nowhere just hearing this thing, this
blood curdling screams? It's almost like it was wanting
to torment these dogs a little bit.
We've heard, you know, many times in these reports that
these Bigfoot just really aren't too fond of man's best friend.
Until next time. This is UFO warning over and
out.
