Hello and welcome to the program UFO Warning.
In this episode we're talking about Alabama Bigfoot sightings.
That's correct, Alabama Bigfoot sightings.
Now, I found these over at bfro.net, Bigfoot Field Research
Organization. A lot of cool stuff over there.
This first sighting says. Submitted by witness Kim S dated
February 21st, 2023. Daylight sighting 2 witnesses
outside Heflin, approximately 10 miles from the Georgia border
off I-20. Look at a map.
This is pretty much just due east of Birmingham, kind of in
the East Central part of the state there.
It's like they said, pretty close to the Georgia border.
It says February 9th for the date.
State Alabama County. Cleburne County location details
at the bottom of the woods next to a small cow pasture near our
house. Then it goes on and says nearest
town Heflin nearest Rd. Hwy. 46 observed.
My husband and I heard strange sounds for two nights in
February 2023 and joked about how they resemble the Bigfoot
calls we've heard on television shows.
On the third night around dusk, we were standing on our carport
looking into the woods that border our property in Heflin,
AL That's Claiborne County. We saw what looked like a
Bigfoot peeking around a tree at us.
We watched it for approximately 5 minutes as it appeared to look
at us from first to left and the right side of the tree trunk.
At first I dismissed it as an illusion caused by the trees and
the wind, but when I turned to go inside and look back, I
distinctly saw what could only have been a Bigfoot running
away. I yelled for my husband and he
also saw it running through the woods.
Our hearts were pounding and the hair on our arms was standing
straight up. There was no mistaking what we
saw. I guess not.
It says just two witnesses approximately 4:30 PM.
It was daylight out environment at the bottom of a wooded area
at the base of a small mountain. Follow up investigation by
Matthew Waymaker says. I spoke with both witnesses.
They were very credible seniors who observed the Bigfoot in
daylight at an estimated distance of 150 feet for several
minutes as it peeked around a tree.
They could not see the full body at first.
When the couple turned to walk away, the Bigfoot began to run.
At that point, I saw the entire body as it moved back into the
standard trees. Both witnesses estimated the
figures stood approximately 8 feet tall and had very dark fur.
The location is particularly interesting near Heflin off
Interstate 20, just a few miles from the Alabama Georgia State
line. This is the third credible
report from the vicinity of Heflin.
There is likely still a Bigfoot in that area around Crane Creek,
roughly one mile northwest of the Love's Truck Stop
intersection of Route 46 and Interstate 20.
And that's pretty wild. I guess these things don't mind
living in in close proximity to humans, but just imagine looking
at your front yard there and seeing this Bigfoot playing hide
and seek behind a tree. Weird.
Here's another site from that same general area a little while
back. This was dated December 28th,
2020 That says witness Jerry Holcomb.
Wow. I guess I, I got to give these
guys credit. I mean, putting their first and
last name on here, they're not they're not trying to hide from
anybody. I got I have to put a lot of
credit into a public eyewitness. I mean, that's saying something,
man. Summary sighting of a Sasquatch
crossing a forest road off I-20 near the Alabama Georgia State
border says June 2020 Clerburn County.
Again, location details. Take the first Alabama exit
crossing the Georgia Alabama State line on I-20 near the
fireworks store. Turn left, cross back over the
Interstate and take the first road to the right.
That is where the sighting occurred.
And then gives longitude, latitude.
Exact numbers here, but it's like I said, it's just about the
same spot, very close to it. Nearest town Heflin, nearest Rd.
Interstate 20. Observed My wife, two daughters
and I were driving to visit my parents who live in Cleburne
County Alabama. My daughter who had recently
gotten her driver's license for driving.
I was in the passenger seat and my wife and other daughter were
in the back. We had just gotten off the
Interstate and we're travelling down the long back Rd. that
leads to my parents house. As we came over a hill something
huge and black darted across the road on 2 legs and disappeared
into the woods about 50 yards ahead.
My daughter said what was that and I replied I have no idea.
It was massive, very wide across the shoulders, and its head
seemed to sit directly on top of them.
This thing was taller and broader than anything I've ever
seen and moved with incredible speed.
My daughter didn't get a good look at it, she only saw
something large except across the road, but I saw it long
enough to notice it was upright on 2 feet and enormous.
What stood out the most was how wide its upper body was, far
wider than any known animal in this area.
It's for a height they can only estimate, but it seemed to be
easily 8 feet tall. I still can't believe something
like that actually exists. How could something that big not
even be seen more often? You hear the stories, but seeing
something that you can't explain, something most people
won't believe. Well I guess now I'm a believer
I guess. Also notice as we passed the
spot where it crossed there was a pack of dogs nearby sniffing
the ground and going crazy is if they smelled it or were
following its trail. But my advice to those dogs
would be to stay away. Other witnesses to my wife and
daughter both riding in the car and listening to the radio.
Other stories none. Terms and times and conditions.
Early afternoon hot with clear skies.
Environment mostly wooded area with river bottoms.
Follow up investigation by BFR investigator Matthew Moneymaker.
I spoke with the father by phone.
Both he and his daughter briefly saw the Sasquatch as it ran
across the road approximately 50 yards in front of the car in
full daylight. There is dense forest on both
sides of the road, so siding didn't last long.
However, it was long enough for the father to clearly observe.
The large top heavy figure was running on 2 legs.
Its fur appeared brown and it was roughly 8 feet tall.
He was certain it was not a bear.
The daughter only noticed something large quickly crossing
the road, but didn't focus on it as closely as her father did.
Location near Abernathy, Alabama.
He got a whole family seeing this thing.
I mean, that's wild. Just imagine this really large
Bigfoot running across the road like that.
Now this sighting was submitted December 14th, 1997, but it
actually happened back in 1985. Says night hunters hear strange
screams in the woods. The events I can describe took
place along the Alabama River and Ottawa County, Alabama
between the city of Prattville and the town of Adagavel within
a 5 or 6 mile radius of a Creek named Rocky Branch.
Nearest town between Prattville and Attagravel.
Nearest Rd. Not available.
Observed from the top of the hill.
The river was almost visible about a mile away through the
darkness. We got out of the truck and
stood looking down towards the river.
I was raised in the outdoors, hunting, fishing, trapping and
observing wildlife. I often like to imitate owls at
night just to hear them respond. As my friend and I stood on the
side of the hill, I began to hoot to see if the owls would
answer from the river bottom. Instead of hearing owls, I was
answered by a scream or moan about 3/4 of a mile away, unlike
anything I had ever heard before.
I asked my friend what in the world was that.
He replied that it was probably what some of the old farmhands
used to call the hairy man, a creature they had claimed to
see. But from time to time, over many
years, I hooted once more, and again the same Scream replied,
this time much closer. We stood there for a moment
longer and could hear something large moving quickly up the hill
toward the woods. By the time we got to the truck
we were treated to another hair raising scream, still in the
woods but getting close to the hay field.
We started the truck and drove as fast as we could through the
bumpy field. When we reached the gate, my
friend asked me to get out and close it so no one would
trespass on the property. The gate was about 1/4 to 1/2 a
mile from where we had been when we fled the area.
As I opened the door to get out, I heard yet another scream
coming from the hay field. Needless to say, the gate did
not get closed that night. I don't know what this creature
was, but I do know that there were no livestock kept in the in
that part of the farm. I also know if this thing were
ever discovered and somehow befriended, it would be a great
asset to the US Olympic team because neither Jesse Owens nor
Carl Lewis could cross the country like this thing could.
This incident happened to me in 1985.
Yeah. Sounds like it was just booking.
Also notice a hairy man has been in this general area before and
after my encounter. Other witnesses.
A friend of mine was with me at the time.
Other stories. Since this incident, I have
spoken with several people who have had experiences in the same
general area, some dating as far back as the 1940s.
A number of these people claimed to have seen the creature and
described it as smelling like a musty wet dog.
They estimate its height to be between 6:00 and 7:00 feet tall.
I've had encounters with this creature since the one described
here. As far as I know, no one has
seen the hairy man on the Attaqua County site of the river
since around 1991. The property near where he was
most often seen has since been sold and divided into 10 or 20
acre home lots. I found this website after
reading an article in Alabama Game of Fish magazine titled the
Dallas County Monster. The article reported sightings
of an ape like creature by deer hunters who claimed they were
followed out of the woods and frightened badly.
These events in Dallas County have been occurring since around
1993 almost directly across the river from where the creature
had been seen in Ottawa County. This is time and conditions
spotlighting at night using the trucks headlights environment.
This property had a long history of similar events being told
over the years. It was owned at the time by a
farming company that had held it for more than 100 years and
owned several 1000 acres near the Alabama River.
The terrain consists of gently rolling hills with old stands of
oak, Hickory and pine, along with dense thickets of old
hedgerows of briars. Some of the lower areas have
pivot irrigated fields. Had gone out one night with a
friend who worked on the farm to look at deer, which were
abundant in the area. We use the trucks headlights to
look for deer, possum, raccoon and owls.
We drove to the top of the hill on a field surrounded on all
sides by woods. What I tell you, I'd be kind of
kind of freaky out there, you know, you think you're calling
for hoot owls and you end up with this raging maniacal
Bigfoot crashing through the timber yelling at you.
Pretty wild stuff. This study was submitted August
30th, 2009. Sunday it says actually happened
on September 1979. It looks like Baldwin County,
Alabama man recalls the sighting after Hurricane Frederick north
of Mobile, traveling South on Hwy. 138 from Bay Minette across
over Hwy. 225 at the crossroads. At the Crossroads you'll now be
on Hurricane Rd. Stay right at the fork and
you'll drive directly to the landing.
The little White House or the sighting of curves has been torn
down and a new house was built in its place.
It stands on the right hand side of the road just before the
curve and hill leading down to the landing.
This is nearest town Hurricane Landing, now Perkins Landing
nearest Rd. Hurricane Rd. observed It was a
few days after Hurricane Frederick.
I was 11 years old at the time. We lived in a trailer on
Hurricane Road and my parents owned the Hurricane Landing and
Fish Camp, now Perkins Landing. We were without power after the
hurricane so all our food was being kept on ice.
Around 11:00 PM my dad asked asked me to walk to my
grandparents store to get more ice.
I grabbed a flashlight and started walking.
It was less than 1/4 of a mile from our house to the store and
I was very familiar with the route.
I walked it daily. As I walked down the left side
of the road, I could hear dogs barking wildly.
They belonged to an older man who lived in a little White
House on the right. He kept them in a pin beside his
house. When I reached the house, I
shined my light across the yard and around the building.
Suddenly I saw something very large run from behind the house
on 2 legs. I followed it with my flashlight
as it ran toward the woods. Then it stopped and turned to
look at me. Its eyes glowed red in the dark.
All of a sudden it ran straight toward me.
It moved incredibly fast, moving about 30 or 40 yards in just a
flash, then stopped right at the edge of the road.
I was frozen with fear. I couldn't scream or run.
We just did their staring at each other for what felt like an
eternity but was probably only a second or two.
Then it let out a loud high pitched growl that broke my
paralysis. I screamed and it turned and
ran. I took off running all the way
home. When I got home I was so upset I
could hardly breathe or talk. My parents finally calmed me
down and I told them what happened but they didn't believe
me. The next day my dad and uncle
went to look for tracks but didn't find any.
My uncle told me I had probably seen a bear, but even then I
knew a bear couldn't run upright on 2 legs.
The creature I saw was extremely large, at least 7 feet tall with
very broad shoulders. It was covered from head to toe
in dark brown or black hair. Its mouth and large square teeth
protruded slightly and its eyes were deeply set.
As a veteran, I can honestly say I've never been so scared in all
my life. I guess not goes on down, it
says no. Other witness walking alone down
the road. Other stories The witnesses
father described an incident that occurred two or three weeks
later. He and another family member
were fishing about 10 miles away in a Bayou at night.
Something was walking up and down the back bank, moving
through the undergrowth while staying just out of sight of
their spotlight. He found it peculiar that the
vegetation was moving not only at the base but also at the top.
Some of the plants stood 8 to 10 feet tall and included bamboo
like stocks. When they decided to leave, the
unseen creature followed them all the way out of the Bayou to
a lake. When they arrived, something
large either hit or landed in the water.
They used a spotlight but saw nothing.
Oh boy. Guess that would kind of give
you the chills, wouldn't it? Approximate time 11:00 PM.
It was dark and I had a flashlight that says environment
dense force down the hills, Hurricane Bayou which runs into
the Tensaw River. The area was very swampy.
And then follow up investigation by investigator Joanne Kuba.
I found the witness to be honest.
He was visibly shaken when counting the event, and other
family members confirmed he was terrified at the time of the
incident, which occurred shortly after Hurricane Frederick hit
the area. His father also verified that
something had definitely frightened his son that evening.
About BFO mostigator Joanna Cuba Joanna, also known as Joy, has
worked as a veterinary technician for over 11 years.
She lives in the Green Swamp area of Central Florida with her
husband and three children. She's very knowledgeable about
local wildlife and spends much of her time outdoors.
Joanna has a strong interest in wildlife and conservation.
She attended the South Florida Expedition O 8 N Florida O 9,
Central Florida O 9, Pennsylvania O 9 and Georgia
Expedition in 2010 and assisted in organizing several Florida
expeditions. Yeah, these investigators, they
seem to me like they're really committed to the topic.
I think BR for OPI does one of the best jobs of any of these
kind of groups investigating the stuff, doing, you know,
interviews with the people that see these things.
Really amazing work. The sightings dated January
12th, 1980 Barbour County Alabama location details County
Road 79 and Hwy. 30 nearest town Clayton nearest road 30 Barbour
County Road 79 S observed. I have been reluctant to share
my story because of my field of works as I do not want people to
think I am crazy. Such a belief could damage my
career. However, as I get older, I feel
this incident needs to be documented.
The event occurred in the winter of 1980 a few miles east of
Clayton, AL and Barbara County. I was traveling with my aunt,
grandmother, and four younger cousins to a relative's house.
It was dark, probably around 9:00 PM from what I can recall.
For some reason my aunt needed to turn around and pulled off
the roadway into a small clearing.
I was in the front seat of the car with my aunt who was
driving, and my grandmother. As we turned off the road, the
headlights caught a figure mid stride.
It immediately froze and did not move again.
It was about 30 yards from the car, very close.
I could see the entire side view of the creature and its body was
slightly turned as if it was looking at us.
The most terrifying thing I remember were its huge eyes
glaring at us. The best way I can describe its
expression is stunned. His face was covered in hair
except for the eyes. The hair was dark, appearing
longer and WAVY on its arms and legs.
It was very tall and massive, yet lean looking.
I would estimate it to be at least 7 feet tall, if not more.
When it froze in the headlights, one arm was slightly extended
behind it and it held that position.
At this point, my grandmother was crying and begging my aunt
to drive away. Two of my younger cousins were
huddled on the floorboard in the back seat crying.
I was terrified but couldn't look away.
My aunt kept telling my grandmother there's no way he
can get in this car, and she kept the vehicle still as we
watched the motionless creature for about two to three minutes,
it was almost completely still, as if it believed we couldn't
see it if it didn't move. I don't know how it managed to
stand so rigidly. Even as I typed this, the hair
on my neck stands on end. It scared me terribly.
He kept staring at us with his eyes stretched wide.
I'll never forget that look. Finally, my aunt decided to
flash the headlights on and off. The instant she did, the
creature jumped toward the woods and it was gone.
It was about 10 yards from the tree line but reached it in less
than a second. I couldn't believe how fast such
a massive creature could move. This event traumatized me.
I have never been able to go into the woods alone or enjoy
camping since I tried deer hunting but couldn't enjoy it
and eventually quit. I can't sit alone in a tree
stand without thinking of this creature and becoming tense.
I can't imagine encountering one alone in the wilderness.
I know these creatures exist. There's no doubt in my mind I
saw one up close and personal. We never saw it again.
Wow, that is an intense, intense society.
Also notice nothing unusual. It says total witnesses 7 of the
stories. My grandmother, the same person
from this report, once told me she and my late grandfather saw
a strange creature near their home in the early 1950's.
The home was about four miles from the 1980 sighting location.
She said they went out on the front porch late one night and
saw a creature standing at the center of the woods near their
house. They could only see its chest
and arms in the shadows. She described it as tall and
hairy. My grandfather yelled at it and
the creature ran back into the woods toward a stream, making a
great deal of noise thrashing through the trees and brush.
The next day they found a strange 3 toed footprint near
the area, but never had another encounter after that night. 3
toes. That's weird.
Time and condition. Around 9:00 PM it was dark,
clear and crisp on a winter evening.
Environment. The area was thick with pine
woods at the time, close to Martin Pond.
In 1980 it was a very rural area and remains heavily wooded
today. There's also a little known body
of water nearby called Indian Lake, less than a mile from the
sighting location. Follow up investigation by BFL
investigator Mary Mallon. When I spoke to the gentleman
about the sighting he and his family experienced many years
ago, I was impressed with the detail he was able to recall.
The sighting took place in a sparsely populated rural area.
The witness stated that the creature was over 7 feet tall,
covered in dark brown to black hair.
It appeared to have already crossed the road and was heading
toward the woods when caught in the headlights.
As witnesses reported, When the lights hit it, the creature
froze and froze mid stride for several minutes.
The witness seemed very credible and sincere.
Yeah, this is as a witness mentioned.
This area remains heavily forested, as can be seen in
Google map imagery east of Clayton, AL.
The instant location appears to be classic Sasquatch habitat in
the eastern United States based on aerial images.
The landscape is largely forested, interspersed with
cultivated fields that attract deer herds.
There are multiple water sources nearby, as well as a power line
corridor connecting various fields, an area often used by
deer. Sightings and encounters near
Martin Pond could still occur today as it provides an
unexposed water source near a power line route through heavily
wooded terrain dotted with grazing fields.
Transit deer would likely travel along this route, offering
consistent hunting opportunities for a large predator, especially
in late summer and early fall. May, that is really something,
isn't it? Very cool sighting.
We'll do three more here and wrap this up.
The sighting goes all the way back to 1975 summer Blount
County Alabama. Location details says.
I believe it was exit 287 off Interstate 65.
At that time I think there was only one exit at the location in
One Direction. I saw the creature on a curve
near the Interstate nearest town between Coleman and Warrior near
Blount Springs, Interstate 65 nearest Rd.
I was driving the VW bus so I had a good view of my
surroundings. As I rounded the first corner of
the exit, I noticed what I finally thought was a large
white dog, something like an Afghan, running on all fours
toward the road and up in embankment.
We both reached the same point at the same time, and I thought
I was going to hit the dog. It seemed the creature didn't
notice my vehicle until it was right at the side of the road,
only a few feet away. I don't remember slowing down
much, but I wasn't going very fast to begin with because the
curb was fairly tight. As the creature reached the
road, it suddenly stood up on its hind legs.
It was covered with long white hair, maybe 8 inches long.
The hair wasn't thick, but stringy and dirty looking.
It had a roundhead, definitely not that of a dog.
I passed the creature and didn't see it again in my mirror
because it was dark. The experience scared me badly.
I didn't get much detail of his face, but I did notice a fairly
large mouth or prominent lips. Its head wasn't perfectly wasn't
particularly large, and his body appeared fairly slender when it
stood upright. It was probably about as tall as
AVW over 6 feet. Oh man.
Now I've done some research and Alabama does have kind of almost
a a separate subspecies, I guess you would call a Bigfoot that
are that are white and you know, referred to sometimes as
different types of monsters or whatever.
But it does look like there's something going on there.
Other stories. At the time I had never heard of
any such creatures in the area. However, it was very It was a
very rural place and a friend of mine who raised pigs used to
hear screams in the area about 5 miles away.
Says the time and conditions Night time around 9 or 10 PMI
saw the creature in my headlights and nearly hit it.
Environment mixed forest with hardwood and pine.
There were some houses but they were few and far apart.
And then it has a follow up. Investigation says this is a
very credible witness. He is a decorated veteran who
held top secret clearance in the military.
Oh boy. OK, and I'll take your word for
it, he has, no, he has no doubt about what he saw and the
encounter frightened him badly. After an extensive interview
with the witness, the following details were added to his
report. The van's headlights remained on
the creature for an extended time due to the left hand curve
in the road. The creature was loping uphill
on all fours with an awkward galloping motion from right to
left. When it reached the edge of the
road, it stood upright and appeared to be hominid, close to
7 feet tall. It had long arms and was only a
few feet away from the witness. It was massive with a smaller
upper body compared to its large hips and legs.
That's strange man, I have no explanation.
The settings dated August of 1987, Bibb County, Alabama, says
the creature smelled like a wet goat as it as it charged and I
couldn't see clearly but it towered over me.
Nearest town Monticello, nearest Rd.
County Road 65. It was a hot afternoon in
August. I heard sirens in the distance.
The local Rescue Squad was responding to an incident.
Curious about what was going on, I decided to go see.
When we arrived, I learned that 2 Birmingham men had gone
canoeing and had not been seen since.
The sheriff wanted to call for a helicopter to search the river,
but I told him that wasn't a good idea.
The trees form a tunnel effect over the river and the
helicopter wouldn't be able to see under the canopy.
On top of that, the sun was starting to go down.
He agreed and sent six men into canoes down the river instead.
Now, it says here in the description, this guy's a rescue
worker, so I'm assuming that he knew the sheriff and This is why
the sheriff paid attention to him and whatnot.
So after 5, after about 30 to 45 minutes, we were told the
missing men had been found at a local bar in Birmingham.
Oh boy. My friend and I volunteered to
pull the rescuers out of the river at a midpoint near the
road. So we set off.
The light was almost gone. As we made our way down the
trail to where the stream and the Cahaba River meet, my friend
took off ahead of me. He knew the area better and I
could see his light moving ahead.
As I entered the bottoms where a bamboo thicket grew, I heard
brush breaking and grunting noises to my left.
I quickly made my way across the stream and felt much safer once
I crossed. When rejoining my friend at the
intersection of the stream in the river, I told him when I'd
heard. He said it was probably a boar
rooting for for acorns. We sat for about an hour
waiting. The moon was out, quarter wax,
quarter waxing and it was hot as heck, 100% humidity around 90°.
After waiting I told my friend we must have missed the rescue
team in the dark. He went to find out and left me
on the bank to make sure they're they weren't just slow coming
down the river. About 30 minutes later I saw a
light up the bank approaching my position.
I pulled myself up into the foliage to camouflage myself in
case the light belonged to moonshiners or pot growers, both
common at Bibb County. Minutes passed and then I heard
my name being called. I made my way back across the
stream and through the thicket. The grunting and brush snapping
sounds were still happening as I climbed up the hill toward a
large overhanging rock. I paused to catch my breath,
holding onto a tree. Suddenly, something much larger
and taller than me, 6 feet 8 inches tall, rushed at me.
There were loud snapping limbs and a vocalization that sounded
like an excited baboon mixed with fierce growl.
My friend was about 10 feet in front of me.
We ran as fast as we could to get away.
Even I jumped across a 10 foot ravine of panic.
The creature did not, did not pursue us any further.
Wow, another witness, yes one standing about 10 feet from me.
I have told Kevin about it. Time and conditions about 7:00
to 9:00 PM. Environment, River bottoms with
bamboo thickets and dense woods. Follow up investigation by Kevin
Simkel. The witness stated that although
it was dark, he could see the creature's silhouette.
It was approximately 7 feet tall and ran upright.
The actual confrontation and chase lasted about 5 minutes.
He had been hearing twigs snapping and grunts for quite
some time before the encounter. He also stated that the creature
was about 50 to 60 feet away from the chase when the chase
began and that it got as close as 10 feet.
The creature could have E like caught him if it had wanted to.
This was clearly meant as an intimidation only.
That's well I guess. Mission accomplished.
We'll do one last one here. The sightings dated January
19th, 2008. Clay County, Alabama, says
camper awakened by loud wood knocks in Talladega National
Forest nearest town unknown. Talladega National Forest
nearest Rd. State Road 281 observed January
19th, 2008 Suspicious knocking was heard at around 3:00 AM
while my husband was camping with Boy Scouts on the side of a
Ridge southeast of Henderson Park, approximately 200 yards
from State Road 281. It was about 14°F with
intermittent howling wind. Pretty chilly.
There were three sets of two knocks each about 100 yards
north of the campsite. The sounds were described as a
piece of firewood hitting another.
They were very loud, and the knocks, though rhythmic, were
spaced so that the wind died down before they occurred again.
These were not small limbs striking each other, and he was
unable to determine if there were any responses because of
the wind. There were no campers north of
them. The only other campers on the
mountain were another Boy Scout troop located about four miles
away at Lake Shinobi. My husband is an avid bfro.net
reader and a hopeful future Expedition member who
immediately recognized that the sounds were consistent with the
other reported knocking activity.
Due to the inclement weather and not wanting to alarm the younger
scouts, he did not follow up that night, although he did not.
Although he did not mention the sounds the next morning, another
adult did. Through careful questioning, all
other possible explanations, such as falling trees, winter
branches striking together, were ruled out.
I'm typing this report on his behalf as he was unsure of the
cause of the sounds and hesitant to report something that might
not have been genuine since he was unable to search for tracks.
Pretty cool. Although nothing was observed,
he did look for tracks, broken branches, limbs, formations,
caves, etcetera within the sight of the trail during a hike north
of camp earlier in the day. Coyotes visited the camp during
the night sniffing around and one of the adults thought he
heard deer moving north of camp while knocking.
Woke him up. Other witnesses.
Two other adults were weakened and participated in a discussion
about what could have been, what could have caused the sound.
Yeah, pretty spooky stuff. Other stories.
There have been other reports of Bigfoot activity in Talladega
play in Saint Clair County areas, and we knew of 1
unreported incident in Perry County.
A sighting in July of 2007 occurred about an hour's drive
shorter as a crow flies from this location.
My husband also recalls suspicious activity from his
youth. Around ages 12 to 14.
While hiking with his uncle near Vincent or Harpersville in
Shelby County, they heard a huge noise about 40 yards away while
standing in a Creek. When they climbed out, they
found twisted branches about two inches thick and uprooted
bushes, likely the source of the loud noise.
At that time he had no knowledge of Bigfoot, but the event left a
strong impression caused them to immediately leave the area.
I guess Time and conditions says 3:00 AM full moon, recent
snowfall about two inches, howling wind temperature 14°.
Doesn't sound like very good camping weather environment.
Heavily wooded area with numerous lakes and very few
people, especially in winter. There are several hiking trails
throughout the area. And then a follow up
investigation by Morris Collins, the witness for counties
experienced in detail. He stated that the sounds were
three very distinct, extremely loud knocks of wood on wood.
They did not correspond with wind gust and were clearly
audible over the wind and background noise.
He described the sound as similar to two to four foot
fence post being struck together.
He did not mention the sounds to the other adults at breakfast,
but one of the two others brought up that he had also been
awakened by the noise. They were unable to agree on a
natural explanation. This area of Talladega National
Forest and Cheaha Mountain has a history of unexplained noises
and sightings. Oh man, very cool stuff.
Well, I hope you liked the program.
