Hello and welcome to the program UFO Warning.
In this episode, we're talking about a Bigfoot roundup in
Georgia. That's correct, a Bigfoot
roundup in Georgia. Now, we've done these UFO
roundups in the US and Canada, and I think it would be fun to
do the same thing with the Bigfoot phenomena across the
United States. The first one that we're looking
at happened in 2011. It says the season was at fall
November and the date was November 9th.
Actually in the state was Georgia, the county was Atkinson
County. Location details are
approximately 1.3 miles West of Willacoochee, Georgia.
Right off the highway at the edge of the woods on the left
side of the highway. This is also a very populated
area for deer gathering. Now of course this comes from
bigfootresearchorganizationthatsbfro.net BF ro.net.
You can find them there. I had to do a little bit of
editing on some of these just to let you know, but the reports
are just fantastic. This person says I commute daily
to work, driving 49 miles one way each day.
My route is from Coffee County, Georgia to Tiff County, Georgia.
I've been commuting for over a year now.
The date was early November 2011.
The time was approximately 9:00 AM.
It was a clear, cool sunny day. I was on Hwy. 82 W heading to
Tifton One about a mile out of Willacoochee, Georgia.
I looked over to the left as I have always scanned the woods
while driving to work. I noticed at the edge of an
opening and the woods, a very large creature just standing
there. It was covered in black hair and
its arms were dangling at its side which is what made me
notice it in the 1st place. I'd say it was over 8 feet tall.
It was huge. I think it saw me too looking at
it. When I first spotted it, I
slammed on my brakes as I was getting ready to accelerate on
the highway. Because there was a medium strip
between me and the other side, I didn't have a chance to turn
around and get over to the other side of the highway where I I
had seen it. I had to get going to work so I
just kept going. I wish I would have turned
around up the highway and gone back.
Maybe it might have still been there, but I did not want to be
late for work. Funny sometimes how the common
things we have to go through every day really prevent us from
exploring life and this is one of those cases.
It says that there was just one witness that the person that we
just read their account of it happened at 9:00 in the morning
on a clear sunny day and a pine forest.
Now we'll go ahead and we'll take a look at the write up here
from the investigator. The investigator says I spoke at
length at with the witness about her sighting.
The witness no longer lives in southern Georgia, but I found
her statements and recollection of events to be quite
compelling. I feel strongly that she is a
very credible witness. Over the course of the
conversation, she disclosed that she had not one but two
sightings, the 2nd sighting occurring the year after her
submission of this report. In the interest of clarity, I
encourage the witness to submit a second report for the 2nd
sighting. I will be publishing this to the
database in the near future. The first sighting, as mentioned
in the original report above, occurred on a November morning
in 2011 as the witness was conducting her morning commute
to work. The witness was driving
westbound on Hwy. 82, approximately 3 miles West of
the town of Willacoochee. The road divides with a grass
medium at this point and that witness had just pulled into the
left lane when she noticed movement on the opposite side of
the road across the oncoming eastbound lane.
The witness stated that she has had a habit of looking for
wildlife while she drives and constantly scans the sides of
the road in hopes of seeing something, and she believes This
is why she was so fortunate with her sighting.
The witness stated that approximately 50 to 70 yards
away she saw standing in the side of a clearing on the
opposite side of the road was a large bipedal creature on two
legs. The witness immediately pulled
over onto the shoulder of the grass medium and sat there
observing the creature for almost 2 minutes.
The witness said that when she saw the creature, she just about
soiled herself and declaring the witness viewed an animal at
least 8 feet tall and judging by the width of the shoulders,
approximately 4 feet wide. The witness could not get over
how massive this creature was. The creature was described as
being covered with hair that at a guess appeared to be
approximately 8 inches long, had no visible neck and was very
muscular. The coloration of hair appeared
to be black with tinges of brown, with the unique patch of
whitish hair in the shape of an upside down, upside down
triangle on the creatures chest spanning from inside their
shoulders and narrowing down to just above the start of the
creatures abdomen. Is worthwhile noting that this
type of piebald coloration is not without precedent and as a
little known fact, the term Skunk Ape actually came from the
name given ape like creatures observed in northern Florida
that had a white stripe of hair on its back rather than from any
associated smell. That's I didn't know that on the
creature's face. The witness said she was focused
on its eyes, describing them as big dark eyes.
The head was round on top. The facial shape was boxy and
with a square jaw, but due to the overall distance she could
not see details for mouth, nose, nor ears, although she assumed
that they were there. Skin color was described as
black in appearance. The creature was swing slightly
back and forth, but it was the movements of the arms and the
arm hair that caught her attention as a hanging arm hair
was waving back and forth as a creature swung that's arms in a
short arc. The legs appeared short in
proportion to the length of the arms.
The creature was slightly narrow at the waist that at the chest
and presented a thick appearance.
The witness left after observing the creature for approximately 2
minutes due to multiple drivers honking their horns at her if
she had not fully pulled her vehicle off the road and left
the rear of her vehicle projecting into the left lane.
The witness continued on to her workplace and only upon arriving
realized that she didn't get a photo of the creature.
To this day, the witness regrets not having the worth all to take
a picture. The witness said that she
brought up her sighting with some older customers whose
families have deep roots in the area.
The witness stated that several of the customers she spoke to
referred to the creatures she had seen as monkey people and
related that most of the stories they heard were simply passed
down from generation to generation.
The witnesses since moved to Wisconsin from southern Georgia
in 2016, but is adamant that if she returned, she could show me
the exact spot where her sighting took place is.
That is how deeply they are burned into her memory.
As for the sighting location, I have driven past the exact spot
multiple times and know exactly where the witness is referring.
The forest on either side of the road is an older pine plantation
with thick underbrush less than 800 feet due.
To the South of the sighting is the Apoha River and accompanying
floodplain. The Alcohol River is a 202 mile
long north to South tributary of the Swanee River, possessing a
floodplain Greenbelt that ranges from 1 eighth to one mile wide
that is essentially devoid of human habitation.
Other reports from southern Georgia demonstrate similar
congruence in terms of proximity of siding locations to original
forested floodplains. Very interesting.
So it sounds like it has plenty of habitat where this thing is
to live in, hide in, whatever. Just imagine this lady driving
to work and looking over on the left hand side of the road.
Sounds like it sees this Bigfoot just kind of standing there
swinging back and forth. She just talks about how she
sees the hair on its arms, even just kind of swing back and
forth with it. What a fascinating sighting.
Let's go ahead and move on to this next one right here.
Now, the second one's an interesting one.
It looks like it happened October 15th, 1998.
It gives the area's nearest town Gum Branch.
I looked up Gum Branch on the map and looks like that's down
kind of in the southeastern part of the state, not that far from
the coast. Looks like there might be some,
you know, area around there where one of these things could
have hit out at. Of course, this has been 26
years ago. It might not have been built up
back then either. It says it was Long Hwy. 18.
Looks like there's just but one witness on this.
The witness says I think I have had three encounters.
I know I have had one all within a five mile radius.
The last one is the one I will tell about.
I had just gotten up out of my tree stand hunting deer.
The sun was down but there was still enough light to see.
My house was only half a mile away and the woods were my
backyard. Anyway, I was using the bathroom
on a tree, not really paying attention to anything when I
noticed there was no noise, nothing.
No owls, no coyote, nothing. I was feeling uneasy and cut the
job short. I just wanted to get out of
there. I walked around a deadfall and
about 40 to 50 feet from me. It stood right in my path on the
trail. At first I don't think I knew I
was there. It stood with his head up
sniffing the air. Then it looked right at me,
never moving for what seemed like hours.
I had a 12 gauge in my hand and remember thinking about using
it, but something didn't feel right about that.
I really didn't feel threatened. At some point I started to walk
backwards. It took a couple of steps toward
me and then cut into the woods on the other side of the
deadfall. Not the sight.
I came around. I stood there listening to it go
through the woods, crashing, but just walking like it was no big
deal. I asked the owner of the
property the next day if he had ever seen or heard anything back
there. He said no, so I never mentioned
it to anyone. I found your site a few weeks
ago and have been wondering if I should tell this or not.
Anyway, I know what I saw and no one can tell me differently.
Also noticed it stood at least 8 foot tall, very broad at the
shoulders and had dark brown to black hair about 1 1/2 inches
long. It had very big red eyes, no
neck, almost like its head was right on top of its shoulders.
Its head came to a point in the back and look like it had Gray
hair around the edges of the face.
No other witnesses at that time says as far as other stories,
No, just the two of the times. Once I heard it outside my
window and the other time it was too dark and happened too fast
to say for sure. After that I moved my family one
week later. I didn't go back into those
woods. Oh yeah.
My wife said the whole time we lived there she felt she was
being watched. Our two dogs stayed out of the
house unless I was outside with him.
I almost forgot about that. It was dusk.
Still enough light that a flashlight was not needed.
The environment was pine forest, dead pine trees, many ponds in
the area, not a swamp but bordering many.
That sounds like it might have had quite a bit of habitat there
to to live in. Actually now they have a follow
up investigation here. It says the witness now lives in
the Midwest, having moved from the area for several reason. 1A
new job offer and two to get away from that location.
He is a former military man. He told me he felt that this is
it when he first looked at this creature and it soon took a step
toward him. It was hugely built with long
arms that were powerful and thick.
He said that if it walked under his 12 foot tree stand, it would
have easily been able to reach him.
When it looked directly at him, it appeared shocked that he was
there. When first viewed, it was
sniffing the air with its nose scrunched up.
Its head was directly straight up in the air but at an angle.
He never noticed the neck. As soon as he realized it was
staring at him, he looked away and then it took a step toward
him. The witness noticed his hair
seemed longer in the buttocks in the back of the legs.
It this was observed as it turned to leave.
Otherwise the hair length seemed uniform throughout the body.
The witness did not focus on the limbs or extremities, primarily
because it was long before he saw that it was looking straight
at him. After it realized he was there,
he did not look at his feet. There was brush obstructing
views as well or his hands. He concentrated on the
expressions and upper body. He noticed that the forearms
were longer than the upper portion of its arm.
It walked with a hunch. It was not perfectly erect.
Its arm swing was evident and his view of this thing did not
last long. Facial features included a brow.
The eyes were dark. When it turned whole body, it
did have a pinkish red coloration to the eyes.
Its nose was built to show the nasal passages clearly.
The eyes seemed sunk into the skull under the brow and there
was skin showing that was darker than the brown hair on it.
The head seemed small in proportion to the creature size,
but still large. He left his tree stand to go
home because the sun was setting and shooting deer after sunset
was not an option. He said he noticed how quiet was
as he left and he relieved himself before he walked away
from his tree stand. The time interval before the
creature was seen, the dead fall was 15 to 20 seconds.
The witness did not use any deer related products, but he did
have a general earthly scent mask to help cover his potential
scent. So yeah, maybe they're thinking
that this Bigfoot was smelling the deer scent or something too.
This guy was hunting. You know, a lot of times they'll
use they'll use certain scents to mark the area to try to coax
the deer in. That would be a very strange
one. I think it was.
I think it's interesting that the man's reaction that did this
was not to shoot the thing. Man, that could be a mess.
I mean, and I would recommend people not to do that just on
the crazy off chance some yay who could be out there Crips and
ran out of costume. But beyond that, it just seems
like these things are it doesn't seem like they're really hurting
anybody. And if you're not in imminent
danger, I would be about not shooting one of them.
Just just seems like it just seems like almost an unethical
thing to do. And he felt like that you can
tell where he could have shot this thing.
He had a drop on it, but he didn't do it.
And I think that's pretty interesting.
Even though somebody might say, well, I'd shoot that thing in a
minute because think of all the money you would make.
Who knows what would happen, You know, after you pull that
trigger, who knows? OK, let's take a look at this
next one here and we'll finish this up.
This last one is reported to have happened July 2nd, 2008
near Nashville. It says the nearest Rd. was Old
Valdosta Highway observed this past Wednesday night.
He says I was watching TV in my game room above the garage.
It was around 12:00 or 12:30 when it sounded like something
hit one of the garage doors. I waited about 5 seconds before
I looked at the window because it freaked me out a little.
I then looked out the window to see a large thing well over six
feet covered in hair right below the window.
The hair was almost dread like it was long and matted.
When I saw it, it was already heading back into the woods.
It was gone within two seconds. I was the only witness and I was
watching TV. There was supposedly a sighting
in our county back in the 80s. It says it was around 12:00 in
the garage. Light was shining into the
driveway. The area is thickly wooded with
pine trees. There are various streams and
rivers. Back in the woods and it goes on
here. It says the follow up
investigation by BFRO investigator Morris Collins says
I spoke with the witness who recounted his sighting as
described in his report. Additional information was
revealed and included his surprise at what he saw, that
the animal had large arms, hands and feet and then it moved very
quickly. While the night was dark, there
was sufficient light coming from the open garage for him to see
these details. In the brief time that he
observed the animal, he woke another family member who went
outside, but there were no tracks or any other types of
physical evidence. The area is Long Cat Creek Rd.
locally known as Old Valdosta Rd.
Other than a friend hearing an unusually loud whipper will type
whistle 2 weeks later during an evening visit, the family has
had no further incidents. This is a rural area dominated
by an agricultural economy, thus large areas of pasture and crop
fields. The area has abundant water and
cover. There is a high concentration of
deer and wall hogs in the area. Much of the area is swamp and
there are numerous rivers and creeks with very little with
very thick vegetation. The Okefenokee National Wildlife
Refuge and Swamp is about 40 miles away.
There are several additional reports in this general area.
Wow, sounds like it's a a pretty perfect environment for it Says
here that this investigator holds a Bachelor of engineering
degree from Auburn University, additional coursework and MBA in
international business. He's an avid backpacker, scuba
diver. Yeah, sounds like a pretty
well-rounded guy. A lot of people are following
these things. I mean, it's not just a
stereotypic role person in need of dental work.
That's, that's investigating these, these Bigfoot reports.
It's, it's really gotten to the point where these guys are
approaching it in a scientific way.
I think the stories they put out here and the structure of this
website is, is amazing. Anyway, that's the reports that
we have from Georgia. If you'd have some reports that
you'd like to have looked at, leave them in the comments
section. Until next time.
This is UFO warning over and out.
