1 00:00:04,640 --> 00:00:06,800 Hello and welcome to the program UFO Warning. 2 00:00:06,880 --> 00:00:10,400 In this episode, we're talking about a North Carolina Bigfoot 3 00:00:10,400 --> 00:00:12,400 roundup. That's correct, a North Carolina 4 00:00:12,400 --> 00:00:15,120 Bigfoot roundup. Strangely enough, this first 5 00:00:15,120 --> 00:00:18,400 case comes to us from coast to coast AM I found it on Twitter 6 00:00:18,400 --> 00:00:20,280 and I was cruising around over there the other day. 7 00:00:20,920 --> 00:00:24,600 I'll put the link at Kofi and you can check it out there along 8 00:00:24,600 --> 00:00:28,640 with the BFRO link. It's got a picture of what they 9 00:00:28,640 --> 00:00:33,080 think could be a Bigfoot or possibly a dog man sighting. 10 00:00:33,560 --> 00:00:35,520 Now, it's weird. I mean, he kind of had this 11 00:00:35,520 --> 00:00:39,240 hunched, hunched over, very portly, hairy creature. 12 00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:42,600 And I don't see a head on this saying, I don't know, maybe 13 00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:45,320 we'll get somewhere in that. The back legs are hinged like a 14 00:00:45,320 --> 00:00:46,400 dog. It's really weird. 15 00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:49,640 This article is by Tim Bennell. You can watch a little video 16 00:00:49,640 --> 00:00:52,840 that goes along with it. It says a fantastic game camera 17 00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:57,080 photo from North Carolina shows a remarkably Clearview of what 18 00:00:57,080 --> 00:01:01,080 appears to be a mysterious bipedal creature that some 19 00:01:01,080 --> 00:01:04,720 believe could be Bigfoot. The eyebrow raising image 20 00:01:04,840 --> 00:01:09,520 reportedly emerged earlier this week by way of a Reddit post 21 00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:12,000 from an individual who claimed to have stumbled upon the 22 00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:14,760 picture online. Beyond the assertion that the 23 00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:18,360 photo was taken by a game camera in North Carolina, the 24 00:01:18,360 --> 00:01:21,480 circumstances surrounding the picture are shrouded in mystery. 25 00:01:21,760 --> 00:01:25,120 Be that as it may, the image sparked considerable discussion 26 00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:29,920 online as to whether or not it was genuine, and if so, what the 27 00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:33,960 weird creature might be. To that end, some have suggested 28 00:01:33,960 --> 00:01:37,000 that the odd animal in the photo is the legendary Bigfoot, 29 00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:40,080 possibly looking downwards in a fashion that obscures his head 30 00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:42,360 due to the creature's unusual legs. 31 00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:45,480 Others have posited that it could be the infamous dogma 32 00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:47,760 encrypted. Meanwhile, more skeptical 33 00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:51,120 observers point to the dubious origin of the image and argue 34 00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:54,040 that it is either an AI generated or simply the product 35 00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:57,640 of some other kind of digital manipulation, wherein the animal 36 00:01:57,640 --> 00:02:00,920 in the picture is probably a bear made to look mysterious. 37 00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:03,760 With that in mind, what do you make of the tantalizing image? 38 00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:08,320 Yeah, I don't know. It doesn't really look like a 39 00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:09,960 bear with those feet the way they are. 40 00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:12,000 That's the problem with the stuff. 41 00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:14,200 If you don't have a chain of custody, you really don't have 42 00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:16,360 anything other than to say, well, that's interesting. 43 00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:21,800 And the AI has gotten so good this day and age that it's going 44 00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:23,960 to get to the point where evidence isn't going to be 45 00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:26,160 really considered evidence unless you have someone that 46 00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:29,480 brings it to you and says this is how we got it and this is the 47 00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:32,000 chain of custody. Kind of the same thing you got 48 00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:33,720 going on with the whole Tic Tac thing. 49 00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:36,480 I mean, you have these videos you merge out of nowhere. 50 00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:37,520 We don't know where they came from. 51 00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:40,000 Somebody makes a lot of money off of them and may never 52 00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:43,240 really, all these years later, still don't have a clear chain 53 00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:45,880 of custody. That's not good evidence. 54 00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:48,880 It's something to look at. It's fun to speculate about, but 55 00:02:48,920 --> 00:02:51,120 that's kind of where we have to leave it at now. 56 00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:55,760 If we go over to BFRO, I find their chain of custody as far as 57 00:02:55,760 --> 00:03:00,080 evidence goes to be much better. I found this here. 58 00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:07,040 First one that we're looking at is from 2013, October 18th and 59 00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:09,240 that's happened in North Carolina as well that says 60 00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:12,000 Alexander County location details. 61 00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:15,160 I'm not familiar with the area but I know it was on Friendship 62 00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:18,240 Church Road in Taylorsville about three to four miles from 63 00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:20,200 Hwy. 16 which I was heading toward. 64 00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:23,920 Gives us the nearest town is Taylorsville and the nearest Rd. 65 00:03:23,920 --> 00:03:26,360 is Friendship Church Road. Hwy. 16. 66 00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:32,000 Observed on October 15th, 2012 I left Wilson Mills, North 67 00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:35,840 Carolina to visit my fiance and her family in at Taylorsville, 68 00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:43,680 Hickory, NC On October 18th, 2013 around 5:45 PMI left to 69 00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:46,680 meet her and her nephews to take them to a haunted trail for 70 00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:49,920 Halloween. After she got off work, I left 71 00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:53,200 their mobile home and turned right on Friendship Church Road 72 00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:56,120 in Taylorsville heading toward Hwy. 16. 73 00:03:56,720 --> 00:04:00,600 It is about 5 miles from their home on Friendship Road to Hwy. 74 00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:03,360 16. About 30 seconds after pulling 75 00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:06,480 out of the driveway, I looked into an open field on the left 76 00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:09,000 where they sell muscadine grapes. 77 00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:13,280 There is a dirt Rd. that leads into the vineyard area and about 78 00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:17,279 30 to four yards off the road. About 15 yards off the dirt Rd. 79 00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:21,200 path I saw what I initially thought was a bear sitting on 80 00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:23,720 its butt. I observed it for about four 81 00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:27,480 seconds as I passed by. I continued down the road about 82 00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:31,600 1/8 of a mile and turned around in a local church parking lot. 83 00:04:32,280 --> 00:04:36,320 When I returned, another vehicle was turned on to the dirt path. 84 00:04:36,840 --> 00:04:40,320 I slowed down, rolled down my window and the lady in the 85 00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:43,040 vehicle asked me, do you see that thing? 86 00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:46,480 I no longer saw it, but she pointed and I looked to see it 87 00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:49,280 walking on two legs into the tree line. 88 00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:51,960 We spoke for a few minutes before I left. 89 00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:55,080 I told her I had turned around to get another look. 90 00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:57,480 I realized then that it wasn't a bear. 91 00:04:57,480 --> 00:04:59,720 After sitting at walk on two legs like a human. 92 00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:04,680 I learned about the BFRO on the Finding Bigfoot show on Animal 93 00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:07,320 Planet last night and wanted to share my story. 94 00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:10,000 Wow, that was just amazing isn't it? 95 00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:13,560 Going there to the vineyard to pick up some grapes and you see 96 00:05:13,840 --> 00:05:15,960 Bigfoot just sitting there. I wonder if he wasn't there to 97 00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:18,600 eat grapes himself. It says also noticed. 98 00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:21,480 I believed it was sitting or squatting, possibly picking 99 00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:24,240 grapes from the ground. I'm not sure that would make 100 00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:26,600 sense. There was another lady, likely 101 00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:29,000 in her 50s, who had also stopped and observed. 102 00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:32,240 Her name was unknown. The road is not very busy. 103 00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:35,280 It says she doesn't have any other stories from the area. 104 00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:38,120 But the conditions that night. It was early evening. 105 00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:41,120 I believed it had rained earlier that day, but it was clear at 106 00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:43,120 the time. Visibility was good. 107 00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:47,200 Morning rain high of 69°, low of 48°. 108 00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:50,160 Environment, hills and forests in the foothills of North 109 00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:52,360 Carolina. And then we had the follow up 110 00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:55,880 investigation here by Larry Sidwell from BFRO, who says I 111 00:05:55,880 --> 00:05:58,560 spoke with the witness by phone and his recollection of the 112 00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:00,880 events that afternoon was excellent. 113 00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:04,480 He had left his girlfriend's parents home and was on 114 00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:08,480 Friendship Rd. in Alexander County, North Carolina heading 115 00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:12,480 east toward Hwy. 16. He looked to the left into a 116 00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:16,880 field where they grow and sell muscadine muscadine grapes and 117 00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:20,560 saw what he thought was a bear sitting in the field. 118 00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:24,960 Intrigued, he drove 1/8 mile and turned around in a church 119 00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:27,800 parking lot to go back and get another look. 120 00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:32,040 Upon returning, he noticed that another person had pulled onto a 121 00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:35,000 dirt Rd. at the site and was watching the animal in the 122 00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:37,640 field. The other witness was driving a 123 00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:40,800 grey Toyota Camry. He pulled it and parked. 124 00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:43,520 That asked the other witness if she saw the bear. 125 00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:47,480 She responded that's no bear. Then he pointed and he saw it 126 00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:50,480 again. It was walking on two legs and 127 00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:53,000 he briefly saw it as it entered the tree line. 128 00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:55,800 He was very convinced they had witnessed a Sasquatch. 129 00:06:56,200 --> 00:06:58,600 The two conversed for a few minutes and both were certain 130 00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:00,240 they had seen a Sasquatch, not a bear. 131 00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:04,080 It was very tall, walked lightly, and was either very 132 00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:07,480 dark brown or black in collar. He did not see any facial 133 00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:09,880 features but described it as tall and broad. 134 00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:13,400 The area is a mix of farm lands and forests located in the 135 00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:15,120 foothills of the Appalachian Mountains. 136 00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:18,400 It features agriculture, chicken farms, and fruit orchards. 137 00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:21,760 Wildlife includes whitetail deer, wild turkeys, numerous 138 00:07:21,760 --> 00:07:26,120 small mammals, and waterfowl. The area is within the Catawba 139 00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:29,840 River basin, which has numerous Sasquatch reports. 140 00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:33,200 The animal was likely eating dried muscadine grapes in the 141 00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:36,720 field and it was initially unaware of the attention it was 142 00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:39,160 attracting. Man, that is really something. 143 00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:41,800 It almost makes it seem like these things are 144 00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:43,560 interdimensional to me. I mean, they're just there. 145 00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:45,320 They're doing their own thing. It's almost like they don't even 146 00:07:45,320 --> 00:07:47,280 know we exist. Let's go ahead and take a look 147 00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:49,320 at this next one. Now here's another sighting from 148 00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:52,120 the same general area down there in Alexander County, North 149 00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:53,680 Carolina. It's since it happened on June 150 00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:58,880 12th back in 2013. The location details says it was 151 00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:02,320 in Alexander County on Damascus Church Road near the Erudale 152 00:08:02,320 --> 00:08:05,040 County line. Nearest town Taylorsville, 153 00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:07,560 Nearest Rd. Damascus Church Rd. 154 00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:11,200 Observed while driving my family on Damascus Church Road in 155 00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:14,480 Alexander County, I saw what appeared to be a Sasquatch. 156 00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:18,360 I glanced over while driving at the top of a fenced in cow 157 00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:21,120 pasture and saw it. It appeared to be over 7 feet 158 00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:23,640 tall with long arms and was walking upright. 159 00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:27,800 It had long hair all over its body which must have been more 160 00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:31,080 than 6 inches long. It walked down a power line 161 00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:33,280 clearing and then veered off into the woods. 162 00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:37,760 I was in disbelief and told my family what I thought I saw. 163 00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:41,200 I turned around but it had already disappeared into the 164 00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:43,480 woods. I am 38 years old and this is 165 00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:45,640 the first time I've seen anything like it. 166 00:08:46,040 --> 00:08:49,720 I saw this about two weeks ago and I've only told my family 167 00:08:50,520 --> 00:08:52,280 under. Also notice it says I grew up on 168 00:08:52,280 --> 00:08:54,960 a farm and have been a hunter but this was a once in a 169 00:08:54,960 --> 00:08:58,160 lifetime sighting. No one else saw it, but others 170 00:08:58,160 --> 00:09:00,600 were with me. No, they don't have any of the 171 00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:01,880 stories. The time and conditions. 172 00:09:01,880 --> 00:09:04,640 It was around 4:00 to 5:00 PM. The weather was cloudy but with 173 00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:08,000 no rain. High of 90, low 63, overcast 174 00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:11,960 with humidity, light winds, waxing, Crescent moon, 14% 175 00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:14,680 illumination. The environment says the 176 00:09:14,680 --> 00:09:17,240 sighting was on the Foothill top of a mountain. 177 00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:21,000 The creature was walking down from a power line clearing and 178 00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:25,160 into the woods above the cattle fence line under the follow up. 179 00:09:25,160 --> 00:09:27,840 This was done by Larry, Sidwell says. 180 00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:31,440 I spoke with the witness by phone a few weeks after he 181 00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:35,120 spotted this animal. He was very observant during the 182 00:09:35,120 --> 00:09:39,040 short time he had visual contact with the Sasquatch and was able 183 00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:42,640 to recall many details. The witness was travelling with 184 00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:44,920 his family in the late afternoon. 185 00:09:44,920 --> 00:09:50,440 Around 4:30 PM, he was driving E on Sharp Mill Rd. in Alexander 186 00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:54,240 County, North Carolina, near the Erudale County line. 187 00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:58,760 Sharp Mill Rd. turns into Damascus Church Road after 188 00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:02,480 crossing the Erudale County. The area is a mix of woods and 189 00:10:02,480 --> 00:10:05,640 farmland situated in the eastern foothills of the Appalachian 190 00:10:05,640 --> 00:10:08,360 Mountains. The witness looked to the north 191 00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:12,480 and spotted a large, hairy biped crossing a power line cut. 192 00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:16,560 It was approximately 150 to 200 yards away at the top of a 193 00:10:16,560 --> 00:10:19,000 Ridge. He estimated its height to be 194 00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:23,000 between 7:00 and 9:00 feet tall. He described it as thin and 195 00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:25,120 lanky. The creature was moving quickly 196 00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:28,000 between two patches of woods bisected by the power lines. 197 00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:31,600 It wasn't running, but it seemed to glide as it walked. 198 00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:36,240 The witness noticed that it had long 6 inch reddish brown hair 199 00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:39,280 all over its body. He couldn't make out any facial 200 00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:42,160 features or head shape. It was looking down and hunched 201 00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:43,960 over the entire time he observed it. 202 00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:47,760 He also noticed that it had extremely long arms, almost 203 00:10:47,760 --> 00:10:51,080 reaching its knees and was walking with its palms forward 204 00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:55,880 and with long arm swings. The entire encounter lasted 205 00:10:55,880 --> 00:10:59,240 about 8 to 10 seconds. The witness told his family. 206 00:10:59,240 --> 00:11:02,200 I think I just saw a Bigfoot. He then turned the car around to 207 00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:05,040 go back and look, but by the time he returned it had gone 208 00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:08,080 into the woods. The witness was absolutely 209 00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:11,280 certain about what he saw. He had a great recollection of 210 00:11:11,280 --> 00:11:13,000 the sighting and was very credible. 211 00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:15,440 No one else in the car saw the Sasquatch. 212 00:11:15,520 --> 00:11:18,600 He has not told anyone but me and his family about the 213 00:11:18,600 --> 00:11:21,440 sighting. That area of Alexander County is 214 00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:25,160 very rural with woods and farms. There is a lot of agriculture 215 00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:27,840 including apple orchards, cattle and chicken farms. 216 00:11:28,120 --> 00:11:32,120 Wildlife is abundant with a large population of deer, wild 217 00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:36,440 Turkey and other small mammals. Alts Creek is the major waterway 218 00:11:36,440 --> 00:11:40,240 in this area of the county and it is dammed in two spots to 219 00:11:40,240 --> 00:11:43,280 form small lakes. It does sound like kind of a 220 00:11:43,280 --> 00:11:45,120 rural area there. You're talking about mountains. 221 00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:47,520 These things would have plenty of space to get around and, you 222 00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:50,120 know, do their business. But even in a remote area, you 223 00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:52,960 notice how we have these power lines going through these, you 224 00:11:52,960 --> 00:11:55,520 know, big cuts between the stands of timber that we hear so 225 00:11:55,520 --> 00:11:57,400 often about. And it seems like maybe they're 226 00:11:57,400 --> 00:12:01,160 using these areas to move back and forth just like I suppose 227 00:12:01,160 --> 00:12:03,480 people would if we were out there camping or something. 228 00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:09,760 This next one comes to us from July 1st, 2022 at Orange County, 229 00:12:09,800 --> 00:12:12,040 North Carolina. Location details. 230 00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:14,600 We have 26 acres on the Inu River. 231 00:12:15,160 --> 00:12:17,760 Now the situation here is you've got a father and daughter. 232 00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:21,120 The daughter spots this Bigfoot 1st and then the dad sees it. 233 00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:23,200 Now they've got the GPS coordinates here. 234 00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:26,240 I won't bother to read this off. It says the father spotted it a 235 00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:30,120 few days later during the day. It was about 30 feet into the 236 00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:32,640 woods a bit further down the asphalt driveway. 237 00:12:33,040 --> 00:12:36,800 It popped up behind the large uprooted tree ball of a tree 238 00:12:36,800 --> 00:12:38,960 that has fallen over sideways, but it's still alive. 239 00:12:39,320 --> 00:12:41,360 Nearest town Hillsborough, Nearest Rd. 240 00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:46,200 Valley Wood Rd. observed. My 17 year old daughter was home 241 00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:51,000 alone with our five dogs on June 24th, 2022 at dusk. 242 00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:54,200 She saw something very large standing on two feet at the edge 243 00:12:54,200 --> 00:12:57,520 of our woods. The dogs never barked when she 244 00:12:57,520 --> 00:12:59,840 looked at it, it spun around and walked off quickly. 245 00:13:00,360 --> 00:13:03,280 I thought she was imagining things until the day July 1st, 246 00:13:03,280 --> 00:13:05,920 2022. I began to walk up the driveway 247 00:13:05,920 --> 00:13:07,520 and heard a stick snap in the woods. 248 00:13:07,840 --> 00:13:11,480 I looked to my right and saw about 30 feet away a very large 249 00:13:11,480 --> 00:13:14,360 being walking away from me down a path in our woods. 250 00:13:14,680 --> 00:13:17,280 I stepped up and got one more glance of it. 251 00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:21,520 I immediately texted my 17 year old and asked her where she saw, 252 00:13:21,520 --> 00:13:25,080 what she saw and what it was. She came home and showed me. 253 00:13:25,400 --> 00:13:28,360 She said it was behind the basketball net and almost as 254 00:13:28,360 --> 00:13:31,520 tall as the bottom of the net. She saw it for a few seconds 255 00:13:31,520 --> 00:13:34,720 from behind as it quickly walked back into the woods and out of 256 00:13:34,720 --> 00:13:37,280 her view. Right after that she heard what 257 00:13:37,280 --> 00:13:40,080 she thinks was the sound of it running away deeper into the 258 00:13:40,080 --> 00:13:42,600 woods. She described it as a darkened 259 00:13:42,600 --> 00:13:45,960 color and on two legs. I drew what I saw and she said 260 00:13:45,960 --> 00:13:49,720 yes, that is what I saw too. To be honest, I didn't believe 261 00:13:49,720 --> 00:13:53,080 they existed until the day I archery hunt in our woods all 262 00:13:53,080 --> 00:13:55,400 the time and have never seen anything like this. 263 00:13:56,560 --> 00:13:58,480 It says I looked for tracks and found none. 264 00:13:58,480 --> 00:14:00,560 I searched for Scott and found none. 265 00:14:01,240 --> 00:14:03,800 No other stories. Time and conditions, dusk and 266 00:14:03,800 --> 00:14:06,400 midday. We have a Creek in the inner 267 00:14:06,400 --> 00:14:09,800 river on our property. I spoke with both the father, 268 00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:11,360 this is the investigator, Matthew Moneymaker. 269 00:14:11,560 --> 00:14:13,680 I spoke with both the father's and daughter. 270 00:14:13,880 --> 00:14:15,840 They're credible and certain about what they saw. 271 00:14:16,280 --> 00:14:18,800 Neither knew much about the Bigfoot subject before these 272 00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:21,280 incidents. They never heard of the term 273 00:14:21,280 --> 00:14:24,240 Patterson footage before, but both recognized the image when 274 00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:26,760 they looked it up. Both noted the height of the 275 00:14:26,760 --> 00:14:29,760 figure they observed, which immediately convinced them it 276 00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:32,880 was not a human. Both said it had very dark fur. 277 00:14:33,160 --> 00:14:35,960 The daughter briefly saw the whole body next to a basketball 278 00:14:35,960 --> 00:14:38,160 court. The father saw only the 279 00:14:38,160 --> 00:14:42,640 shoulders and head as it walked away quickly, but he observed it 280 00:14:42,640 --> 00:14:46,360 from two different angles as it walked downhill toward the Eno 281 00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:49,120 River. The father mentioned a tree near 282 00:14:49,120 --> 00:14:52,520 the driveway that has fallen over but is still alive with 283 00:14:52,520 --> 00:14:55,800 some roots apparently intact. The rest of the root ball is 284 00:14:55,800 --> 00:14:58,760 sticking up in the air. When he spotted the figure, it 285 00:14:58,760 --> 00:15:02,120 seemed to pop up from behind that root ball before walking 286 00:15:02,360 --> 00:15:04,120 quickly down the hill toward the river. 287 00:15:04,440 --> 00:15:08,200 The family is very intrigued by the odd behavior of their dogs. 288 00:15:08,520 --> 00:15:12,240 Only one of the dogs is allowed to roam freely around the entire 289 00:15:12,240 --> 00:15:14,680 property. That dog doesn't leave the 290 00:15:14,680 --> 00:15:17,920 property, unlike the other dogs who will if allowed to roam 291 00:15:18,040 --> 00:15:20,960 freely. It typically chases any small 292 00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:24,440 animals it sees or hears near the home, or at least barks at 293 00:15:24,440 --> 00:15:27,000 deer. For some reason, that dog, like 294 00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:30,040 the others, is very reserved when this creature is around. 295 00:15:30,400 --> 00:15:32,360 It neither barks at nor chases it. 296 00:15:33,040 --> 00:15:35,520 The wife surmises that the Bigfoot has made friends with 297 00:15:35,520 --> 00:15:38,160 that dog because the dog is free to eat one of the property all 298 00:15:38,160 --> 00:15:40,840 the way to the river, so it has likely encountered the creature 299 00:15:40,840 --> 00:15:43,320 before. The only time it does not bark 300 00:15:43,320 --> 00:15:46,200 and chase things approaching the house is when there are people 301 00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:49,040 approaching with whom the dog has already made friends. 302 00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:52,400 So that must have happened with this creature already, by her 303 00:15:52,400 --> 00:15:54,520 reckoning. Well, maybe the dog just has its 304 00:15:54,520 --> 00:15:57,480 survival instincts kicking in, I don't know. 305 00:15:57,800 --> 00:16:01,200 And on aerial images the property looks flat, but it is 306 00:16:01,200 --> 00:16:04,920 actually hilly terrain. They have 26 acres abutting the 307 00:16:04,920 --> 00:16:08,800 nearby Eno River. The father hunts the land with 308 00:16:09,120 --> 00:16:12,320 for archery, but sparingly. The property sits next to 309 00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:16,120 conservation land where hunting is not allowed, but the public 310 00:16:16,120 --> 00:16:18,360 is allowed to walk the trails during the day. 311 00:16:18,640 --> 00:16:22,800 There is also no public hunting on neighboring properties, so 312 00:16:22,800 --> 00:16:25,640 the surrounding area is effectively a deer sanctuary. 313 00:16:26,560 --> 00:16:29,280 He mentioned that deer will sometimes be present and 314 00:16:29,280 --> 00:16:31,960 invisible in the area on his property for long stretches, 315 00:16:31,960 --> 00:16:34,520 like right now. At other times, it seems there 316 00:16:34,520 --> 00:16:37,680 are no deer in the area. I have urged him to set up a few 317 00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:41,320 concealed security cameras on the side of the garage aimed at 318 00:16:41,320 --> 00:16:42,960 the woods near the basketball court. 319 00:16:43,240 --> 00:16:47,160 He will also look for a way to conceal a trail camera facing 320 00:16:47,160 --> 00:16:49,240 the RIP ball where the figure was spotted. 321 00:16:49,640 --> 00:16:52,920 He says that spot has an excellent view of a field that 322 00:16:52,920 --> 00:16:55,800 deer move through. Very cool sighting that is for 323 00:16:55,800 --> 00:16:57,240 sure. We'll take a look at a couple 324 00:16:57,240 --> 00:16:58,600 more here then we'll wrap this up. 325 00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:03,440 This sighting here happened back in 1988 in March. 326 00:17:03,440 --> 00:17:07,680 It says mid March happened in Yancey County, North Carolina. 327 00:17:07,880 --> 00:17:11,920 Location details Yancey County, North Carolina near the summit 328 00:17:11,920 --> 00:17:16,760 of Mount Mitchell In early spring of 1988 some friends and 329 00:17:16,760 --> 00:17:19,440 I were traveling up the road to the top of Mount Mitchell in a 330 00:17:19,440 --> 00:17:22,319 four wheel drive vehicle. Mount Mitchell is the highest 331 00:17:22,319 --> 00:17:29,000 peak east of the Mississippi at 6684 feet, and as a result the 332 00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:32,320 mountain gets heavy snowfalls well into March and sometimes 333 00:17:32,320 --> 00:17:34,800 April. There had been some heavy 334 00:17:34,800 --> 00:17:38,320 snowfall in the weeks preceding our drive, and there were deep 335 00:17:38,320 --> 00:17:42,000 snow drifts piled up alongside the road, although the road 336 00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:45,520 itself had only a dusting of light snow on its surface. 337 00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:49,320 Almost no one goes up on the mountain in the winter time, and 338 00:17:49,320 --> 00:17:53,280 as I remember it, we had to skirt around a barricade just to 339 00:17:53,280 --> 00:17:57,480 get on the road to the summit. Yeah, when you're having to 340 00:17:57,480 --> 00:18:00,000 drive around barricades, that might not be a good start to 341 00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:02,360 your trip. We reached the top of the 342 00:18:02,360 --> 00:18:05,440 mountain, then turned around to drive back down. 343 00:18:05,800 --> 00:18:09,040 About a half a mile below the summit we went around a sharp 344 00:18:09,080 --> 00:18:12,520 left hand turn and our headlights illuminated the steep 345 00:18:12,520 --> 00:18:16,080 bank beside the road. In the snow on the bank we saw 346 00:18:16,080 --> 00:18:20,000 several deep impressions leading up the bank into the woods. 347 00:18:20,360 --> 00:18:23,360 We got out and examined the marks, but it was dark and we 348 00:18:23,360 --> 00:18:27,000 couldn't tell much about them. The next day we drove back up to 349 00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:30,080 look at the marks in daylight. The tracks as we assumed them to 350 00:18:30,080 --> 00:18:33,480 be, were in deep snow. We could see mud at the bottom 351 00:18:33,480 --> 00:18:37,160 of them, and we measured the snow depth at 18 inches. 352 00:18:37,600 --> 00:18:41,160 In the two tracks closest to the road, there were faint outlines 353 00:18:41,160 --> 00:18:44,520 that could have been toe marks, but there were no claw marks 354 00:18:44,520 --> 00:18:46,920 visible. As with bear tracks, the prints 355 00:18:46,920 --> 00:18:50,680 appeared to have been made by a bipedal animal leading up to the 356 00:18:50,680 --> 00:18:54,520 steep bank and disappearing over the top about 75 yards up the 357 00:18:54,520 --> 00:18:57,000 slope. The bank beside the road was 358 00:18:57,000 --> 00:19:00,480 extremely steep and it took my friend, who was 6 foot 2 inches 359 00:19:00,480 --> 00:19:03,200 in athletic 8 long strides to climb it. 360 00:19:03,760 --> 00:19:07,240 But whatever left the prints needed only two steps. 361 00:19:07,600 --> 00:19:10,520 At one point, the animal had stepped over a fuller branch 362 00:19:10,800 --> 00:19:14,040 approximately 3 feet off the ground without breaking stride. 363 00:19:14,440 --> 00:19:18,200 I knew that sometimes big cats can leave footprints, but that 364 00:19:18,200 --> 00:19:21,040 appeared to be bipedal. And there are still some 365 00:19:21,040 --> 00:19:24,040 Panthers, mountain lions left in the mountains of North Carolina. 366 00:19:24,560 --> 00:19:27,840 But if a cat made these marks, it would have to have been the 367 00:19:27,840 --> 00:19:31,640 biggest Panther in the world. The prints were about 14 inches 368 00:19:31,640 --> 00:19:35,960 long and seven inches wide. We consider the possibility that 369 00:19:35,960 --> 00:19:38,880 the marks could have been made by clumps of snow falling from 370 00:19:38,880 --> 00:19:42,920 trees, but there were marks where there were no overhanging 371 00:19:42,920 --> 00:19:45,640 branches. We split up that day and two 372 00:19:45,640 --> 00:19:48,200 different groups walked along the road about a mile in each 373 00:19:48,200 --> 00:19:51,960 direction from the Prince, but we never found where the animal 374 00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:55,560 had crossed the road, which suggests it was using the road 375 00:19:55,560 --> 00:19:58,320 for traveling instead of trudging through the deep snow. 376 00:19:59,160 --> 00:20:01,560 When we split up and walked along the road, we found dozens 377 00:20:01,560 --> 00:20:05,120 of deer tracks in several spots beside the road where deer had 378 00:20:05,120 --> 00:20:07,760 bedded down. That isn't unusual for this 379 00:20:07,760 --> 00:20:11,000 area, but it didn't indicate that there was some wildlife in 380 00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:14,320 the area. Under other witnesses, it says 381 00:20:14,320 --> 00:20:18,120 we were 4 Wheeling in a Jeep. No one in the vehicle had a drop 382 00:20:18,120 --> 00:20:21,680 to drink that evening. We did not notice the tracks on 383 00:20:21,680 --> 00:20:25,360 the way up, only when our lights hit them as we were coming down. 384 00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:28,360 And this under the environment, it says Mount Mitchell is the 385 00:20:28,360 --> 00:20:30,680 highest peak in the United States and temperatures are very 386 00:20:30,680 --> 00:20:34,520 cold in the winter. There always seem to be a strong 387 00:20:34,520 --> 00:20:37,400 wind blowing up there. Much of the timber has lost 388 00:20:37,480 --> 00:20:41,240 foliage due to acid rain. The timber is predominantly 389 00:20:41,240 --> 00:20:44,480 evergreens, but there are some hardwoods left. 390 00:20:44,880 --> 00:20:47,760 There is a also a lot of rhododendron. 391 00:20:48,920 --> 00:20:50,840 Interesting, very cool siding there. 392 00:20:50,840 --> 00:20:52,560 We'll take a look at one more here and then we'll wrap this 393 00:20:52,560 --> 00:20:54,480 up. This last sighting that we're 394 00:20:54,480 --> 00:20:58,640 looking at happened back in November of 1983, N Carolina, 395 00:20:58,720 --> 00:21:01,520 Warren County. The area has some residential 396 00:21:01,520 --> 00:21:05,160 development and some logging had been reported clear cutting. 397 00:21:05,720 --> 00:21:08,800 At the time of my experience, it was an old forest with a mix of 398 00:21:08,800 --> 00:21:11,760 hardwoods and Pines. Nearest town Lewisburg, 399 00:21:11,880 --> 00:21:15,600 Warrenton, Centerville observed I was hunting at a Creek bottom 400 00:21:15,600 --> 00:21:19,200 called Little Shock Oak Creek. The Creek bottom is heavily 401 00:21:19,200 --> 00:21:23,080 forested in a dense crop of bamboo like reeds grow along the 402 00:21:23,080 --> 00:21:25,640 bottom. I was leaving the woods slowly 403 00:21:25,680 --> 00:21:29,880 stalking along a logging Rd. As I started up a hill, a doe 404 00:21:29,880 --> 00:21:32,880 that had been bedded down just above the Reed cane on the side 405 00:21:32,880 --> 00:21:35,680 of the hill jumped up and headed for the thick cover of the 406 00:21:35,680 --> 00:21:38,440 reeds. The deer was angling to my right 407 00:21:38,440 --> 00:21:42,080 and down into the reeds. I quickly moved to higher ground 408 00:21:42,080 --> 00:21:45,320 above the reeds, hoping to see the deer as she slipped through 409 00:21:45,320 --> 00:21:47,880 them. As I watched her whitetail 410 00:21:47,880 --> 00:21:51,080 waving through the thick green and round cover, something to my 411 00:21:51,080 --> 00:21:53,760 extreme right moved on the other side of the Creek. 412 00:21:54,320 --> 00:21:56,240 I couldn't quite understand what I was seeing. 413 00:21:56,640 --> 00:22:00,880 I saw a tall figure moving away from me, appearing dark and 414 00:22:00,960 --> 00:22:04,880 molted in taller compared to the reeds, which grow at least four 415 00:22:04,880 --> 00:22:08,360 to six feet tall. The molting wasn't in highly 416 00:22:08,360 --> 00:22:11,600 contrasting colors, but rather darker and slightly lighter 417 00:22:11,600 --> 00:22:14,200 shades of brown. Perhaps it was the effect of the 418 00:22:14,200 --> 00:22:15,920 sun filtering through the leaves. 419 00:22:16,280 --> 00:22:19,680 It was early in the deer season and the leaves hadn't entirely 420 00:22:19,680 --> 00:22:22,040 fallen. I estimated the distance to be 421 00:22:22,040 --> 00:22:25,080 about 50 yards. Being above the reeds was the 422 00:22:25,080 --> 00:22:28,480 only way I could have seen this. As I watched it move through the 423 00:22:28,480 --> 00:22:32,160 woods, it appeared to have what I would call a hump on its back, 424 00:22:32,520 --> 00:22:34,960 which I only noticed when it turned and looked in my 425 00:22:34,960 --> 00:22:37,680 direction as it pushed through the vegetation. 426 00:22:38,360 --> 00:22:40,760 I had the impression that it went through some very heavy 427 00:22:40,760 --> 00:22:44,240 limbs as I saw them snap back. Once it passed through. 428 00:22:44,920 --> 00:22:47,600 It didn't seem to be running, but moving quickly with no need 429 00:22:47,600 --> 00:22:50,240 to duck or dodge the vegetation, it just passed through it. 430 00:22:50,760 --> 00:22:55,040 To be honest, I was unbelievably unsure of what I had seen. 431 00:22:55,800 --> 00:22:59,640 I was scared at the time, as is still the case now. 432 00:22:59,640 --> 00:23:03,240 Black bears were not known to inhabit that part of our state 433 00:23:03,520 --> 00:23:07,040 and black bears do not walk very far in an upright manner. 434 00:23:07,680 --> 00:23:10,400 This was upright. I did not go back into that 435 00:23:10,400 --> 00:23:13,640 bottom again that afternoon. I haunted a very large clear cut 436 00:23:13,640 --> 00:23:16,000 area where I could see for several 100 yards in each 437 00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:18,360 direction. Despite being armed with a heavy 438 00:23:18,360 --> 00:23:22,000 caliber hunting rifle and a 44 magnum revolver, I would not 439 00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:25,000 venture back into these woods. I have seen no tracks in the 440 00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:28,760 Creek bottoms or around muddy spots that we could identify. 441 00:23:29,200 --> 00:23:31,560 As far as I know, area residents, including my 442 00:23:31,560 --> 00:23:34,440 immediate family, have not reported anything similar. 443 00:23:34,760 --> 00:23:37,480 I have several cousins who practically live in those woods 444 00:23:37,720 --> 00:23:41,160 during hunting season and they've heard nothing, no rumors 445 00:23:41,160 --> 00:23:43,760 or otherwise. Hunting with hound dogs is still 446 00:23:43,760 --> 00:23:46,800 popular in that region, but no one has reported anything 447 00:23:46,800 --> 00:23:50,800 unusual being brought to Bay or treed, including bears. 448 00:23:51,600 --> 00:23:54,360 Also notice it says. Initially I was convinced I had 449 00:23:54,360 --> 00:23:57,200 seen another hunter, but after leaving and driving up and down 450 00:23:57,200 --> 00:23:58,760 the road I saw no other vehicles. 451 00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:01,920 The woods were very deep and the idea that someone had hiked in 452 00:24:01,920 --> 00:24:06,480 that far is was not likely. It was a weekday and I had taken 453 00:24:06,480 --> 00:24:09,160 off work. Most hunters hunt during the 454 00:24:09,160 --> 00:24:12,840 weekend. I was only about 300 yards from 455 00:24:12,840 --> 00:24:16,360 my vehicle. Then it says other witnesses. 456 00:24:17,520 --> 00:24:19,000 None. See the story above. 457 00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:21,080 See the above details. See the above story follow up 458 00:24:21,080 --> 00:24:23,680 investigation. Wow, now that's weird. 459 00:24:24,360 --> 00:24:27,400 They talk about this thing running through the woods and 460 00:24:27,400 --> 00:24:29,880 acting like and acting like it wasn't even having to worry 461 00:24:29,880 --> 00:24:33,160 about being snapped in the face by brushes or branches. 462 00:24:33,520 --> 00:24:36,040 That reminds me these cases that David Pillai talks about these 463 00:24:36,040 --> 00:24:38,920 missing people where they they find them sometimes and they're 464 00:24:38,920 --> 00:24:41,920 all cut up like they've been carried through the through the 465 00:24:41,920 --> 00:24:44,760 woods at a high rate of speed with these sticks and brushes 466 00:24:44,760 --> 00:24:46,480 and stuff slapping in the back of the face. 467 00:24:47,200 --> 00:24:49,720 I could just see one of these things carrying some poor soul, 468 00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:51,360 you know, running through the timber with it. 469 00:24:52,120 --> 00:24:53,960 It goes on here. It says follow up investigation 470 00:24:53,960 --> 00:24:55,680 report. This sighting occurred near the 471 00:24:55,680 --> 00:24:57,480 border between Warren and Franklin counties. 472 00:24:57,480 --> 00:25:00,600 The forests consist of mixed hardwoods including oaks, gums 473 00:25:00,600 --> 00:25:03,240 and poplars. The trains hilly with numerous 474 00:25:03,240 --> 00:25:05,720 creeks branching off of of Shaco Creek. 475 00:25:06,080 --> 00:25:09,160 The witness remarked that the area provides ideal cover for 476 00:25:09,160 --> 00:25:12,240 eastern whitetail deer. The witness was hunting during 477 00:25:12,240 --> 00:25:15,840 the week with a friend but was alone for the first part of the 478 00:25:15,840 --> 00:25:18,920 morning while the hunting partner handled some personal 479 00:25:18,920 --> 00:25:22,840 business in town. The camp was set up on one side 480 00:25:22,840 --> 00:25:27,840 of a fairly heavily traveled Rd. At approximately 9:00 AM the 481 00:25:27,840 --> 00:25:30,160 witness was getting ready to leave camp and go into the 482 00:25:30,160 --> 00:25:32,560 woods. The weather was clear and warm 483 00:25:32,560 --> 00:25:35,200 for mid November. Most of the leaves that had 484 00:25:35,200 --> 00:25:38,160 already fallen from the trees. The witness noticed a large 485 00:25:38,160 --> 00:25:41,280 number of deer on the other side of the road heading in his 486 00:25:41,280 --> 00:25:43,640 direction. He crossed the road wondering if 487 00:25:43,640 --> 00:25:46,520 he might have an early opportunity or if the deer would 488 00:25:46,520 --> 00:25:49,360 run away from him. The deer changed direction and 489 00:25:49,360 --> 00:25:52,760 ran parallel to the road. The witness then went into the 490 00:25:52,760 --> 00:25:57,400 woods, descending on a logging path down a hill to a Creek that 491 00:25:57,400 --> 00:26:00,440 feeds into Shaco Creek. He planned to hunt in the 492 00:26:00,440 --> 00:26:04,000 morning and head back for lunch. The locking path crossed the 493 00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:07,120 Creek with large patches of tall reeds at the bottom, otherwise 494 00:26:07,120 --> 00:26:10,200 known as River Cane. As a witness As a witness Across 495 00:26:10,200 --> 00:26:13,720 the Creek, a bedded deer hidden in the reeds jumped up from its 496 00:26:13,720 --> 00:26:16,520 hiding place and ran away. The witness could not see the 497 00:26:16,520 --> 00:26:19,320 deer, so he ran to higher ground to get a better view. 498 00:26:19,720 --> 00:26:22,920 When the witness was above the reeds, he could see the deer 499 00:26:22,960 --> 00:26:26,280 intermittently as it quickly moved off across the Creek. 500 00:26:26,280 --> 00:26:28,720 He saw something large that appeared to be a man dressed in 501 00:26:28,720 --> 00:26:30,360 brown clothes wearing a backpack. 502 00:26:31,360 --> 00:26:34,560 The observed subject then turned its head and looked over its 503 00:26:34,560 --> 00:26:38,320 right shoulder at the witness. The witness was stunned when he 504 00:26:38,320 --> 00:26:40,480 realized he was not looking at another hunter. 505 00:26:40,760 --> 00:26:44,480 The animal then swung its head forward and moved through the 506 00:26:44,480 --> 00:26:46,720 forest to put distance between us. 507 00:26:47,000 --> 00:26:50,720 It was swift and determined. The witness then returned to 508 00:26:50,720 --> 00:26:53,840 camp to see if his friend had returned or if any other hunters 509 00:26:54,360 --> 00:26:55,960 had parked in the immediate area. 510 00:26:56,240 --> 00:26:59,840 He saw no other vehicles. The witness remarked that any 511 00:26:59,840 --> 00:27:03,680 other hunters parked on another Rd. would have had to hike two 512 00:27:03,680 --> 00:27:06,600 or three miles through dense hardwood forest to reach the 513 00:27:06,600 --> 00:27:09,040 Creek. Having no way to contact his 514 00:27:09,040 --> 00:27:12,720 hunting partner and not wishing to stay at the camp, the witness 515 00:27:12,720 --> 00:27:15,760 decided to leave and go to a clear cut area to increase his 516 00:27:15,760 --> 00:27:18,160 field of view. He returned to camp once he knew 517 00:27:18,160 --> 00:27:19,960 his hunting partner would have returned. 518 00:27:20,320 --> 00:27:23,640 The witness saw the creature at a distance of approximately 50 519 00:27:23,640 --> 00:27:26,800 yards for 6 to 8 seconds. He could see the head, 520 00:27:26,840 --> 00:27:28,360 shoulders, and part of the chest. 521 00:27:29,040 --> 00:27:31,680 The creature appeared to be standing upright and about 8 522 00:27:31,680 --> 00:27:33,960 feet tall. The witness estimated the 523 00:27:33,960 --> 00:27:36,400 creature weighed between 600 and 800 lbs. 524 00:27:36,680 --> 00:27:38,160 The gender could not be determined. 525 00:27:38,600 --> 00:27:41,480 The hair looked brownish with patches of drab olive green. 526 00:27:41,800 --> 00:27:44,160 The animal appeared to have a hump on its back. 527 00:27:44,280 --> 00:27:47,520 It had a perplexed or uncomfortable expression when it 528 00:27:47,520 --> 00:27:50,320 looked at the witness. In hindsight, the witness 529 00:27:50,320 --> 00:27:53,040 wondered if the animal could have been stalking the deer. 530 00:27:53,440 --> 00:27:55,800 There are black bears in northern Warren County, but 531 00:27:55,800 --> 00:27:58,720 there was no resident population in the county at the time of the 532 00:27:58,720 --> 00:28:00,800 sighting. The southern part of Warren is 533 00:28:00,800 --> 00:28:03,880 considered an occupied range by the North Carolina Wildlife 534 00:28:03,880 --> 00:28:06,760 Resource Commission and there are no verified sightings of 535 00:28:06,760 --> 00:28:11,000 black bear in this part of the county from 1971 through 2001. 536 00:28:11,600 --> 00:28:13,560 I asked the witness if this could have been a bear. 537 00:28:13,760 --> 00:28:16,120 He said that bears did not stand in their hind legs for long 538 00:28:16,120 --> 00:28:18,480 periods. He also commented that he saw no 539 00:28:18,480 --> 00:28:22,400 snout or or ears. The creature's face was flat. 540 00:28:22,800 --> 00:28:25,360 Other friends and family have handed at saying unexplained 541 00:28:25,360 --> 00:28:27,760 animals in the area were prompted, but they would never 542 00:28:27,760 --> 00:28:29,640 elaborate. I found the witness to be 543 00:28:29,640 --> 00:28:32,160 credible. Wow, what a crazy story. 544 00:28:32,440 --> 00:28:35,800 I mean, what a really neat story this guy saw out there. 545 00:28:35,800 --> 00:28:39,720 Hunting comes across as Bigfoot just cruising through the cane 546 00:28:39,720 --> 00:28:41,560 right into the forest. It's almost like these things 547 00:28:41,560 --> 00:28:43,520 just move with such intent and purpose. 548 00:28:44,760 --> 00:28:46,920 It's kind of like we're just, it's kind of like we're just 549 00:28:46,920 --> 00:28:48,880 invading their reality. Sometimes I just don't know 550 00:28:48,880 --> 00:28:52,320 what's going on with them, if these things are biological or 551 00:28:52,320 --> 00:28:53,480 interdimensional or what they are. 552 00:28:53,480 --> 00:28:56,320 But they're certainly strange and it's certainly fun to hear 553 00:28:56,320 --> 00:28:59,120 the stories about them. Until next time, this is UFO 554 00:28:59,120 --> 00:29:00,280 warning over and out.
