Hello and welcome to the program UFO Warning.
In this episode we're talking about Wisconsin Bigfoot reports.
That's correct, Wisconsin Bigfoot reports.
Just as an aside, I just want to point out that I've had some
health issues the past couple weeks.
Blood sugar level got pretty high.
Got that back under control boy. If you haven't had yours checked
lately, highly recommend it. You can avoid a lot of issues
anyway. It's kind of prevented me from
responding to some of the comments as quickly as I can.
I've just been really busy looking after myself and I
haven't been able to give 100% the program.
But getting back on track now, healing up and doing much
better. Thank you.
This first case comes from back in 1978.
It says fall and in October but must have been reported
6/27/2007. It looks like Wisconsin Ashland
County. It was long ago so I don't
remember what the area was called.
It was an area near Ashland where the Fish and Game stock
trout in scattered ponds. They also have camping areas set
up there. This is nearest town Ashland,
WI. It was in a remote park area
where there is hunting and many small lakes that they stock with
trout. I had the encounter while in
College in Ashland, WI in 1978 while bow hunting with a friend
deep in the woods, I took to sitting high in a tree
overlooking thick briars. Out of the still and silence of
the woods an animal came barreling through the thickest
vegetation imaginable. It was thrashing about and
shrieking at the highest pitch possible.
I was frightened to death and could only stand to try to see
it. I could not see it but did see
the brush being shaken again. The shrill sound of his voice
filled the air. It was awesome to hear.
Scary but awesome. My friend who was hunting down
for me did see it and it was on two legs and appeared ape like
to him. We were too afraid to stick
around and never went back. We went back to environmental
college and I shared this with one of my professors, Dr. V.
He never heard of a local animal making that sound.
That is my story and I tell it a dozen times a year.
Good luck in your research. This is other witnesses. 1.
He was hunting with me. Other stories.
No time. It was 7:00-ish in the morning
on a bright day at Chile. It was thick briars near the
open forest. BFR investigator Paul Schenbaugh
After speaking to the witness on the phone, he told me that he
had long since lost contact with his hunting friend.
This would have been useful as a corroborating witness.
He also couldn't recall the location of Vincent and his
description could be in any number of areas.
That being said, his recounting of the incident is still very
vivid in his mind. After all this time.
The witness cannot explain the sounds he heard that October.
That's pretty cool. Let's take a look at another one
here. This one here is from June of
2002. It says Wisconsin Burnett County
around 5 miles north of Danbury nearest town Danbury, Wisconsin
nearest Rd. Hwy. 35.
On June 1st, 2002 I checked out animal tracks on a muddy curb
near Danbury, WI. I soon noticed A-17 and quarter
inch human like footprint so drove into town to purchase a
camera and casting material. Before leaving the find area, I
tossed some apples from the car into the brush at the site.
Returning there after about one hour in town and driving, I took
photos of the footprint and surrounding area.
I then began to cast a print. While doing this, a commotion of
rustling bushes started up nearby.
It appeared to do so without benefit of much wind, so I stood
up apprehensively and looked in that direction.
I stepped back to get a better look at the rustling bushes.
Shot 20 feet in the air, accompanied by a loud crack.
Wow, where? Upon the top of a Birch tree had
been pulled down and shaken. Fell to the shoulder of the road
within a few feet of me. What a commotion.
That was followed by three or four whiny type vocalizations
very close in the woods. The sound did not appear to be
threatening, but rather a mischievous chuckle of some
type. Days later, the outline of a
Bigfoot creature was found on one of the photos.
I am withholding that photo until I can authenticate it
thoroughly. The figures stood up about 7
feet or so and on several other occasions following June 1st
made himself known to me by following me as I checked the
road for for their footprints. No castle was found.
Creature appeared to cross the road in three places each, or
the stream nearby. Pass close to the road, either
to avoid being seen in the water or to avoid areas where modern
day trappers put Beaver sets. Creature travels otherwise
exclusively in the water, which he is perfectly evolved for.
Think about it, the wide feet, the up, the up then straight
down step, the weight to anchor against current, the height to
still spot danger, and long arms to reach down not up to scoop
the crayfish and things in the water.
That's an interesting thought. Maybe these things are designed
to be kind of like water apes of some kind.
The footprint cache shows a deep indentation at the bald foot.
Could be the work of bones and the theorized flexible foot, or
could be the result of a creature stepping on a deer
track. There were lots of deer tracks
in that spot. Other witnesses, none.
Other stories, none of recent sightings.
The area has unique features as a place where geological changes
such as soil compression and habitat for bear dining etcetera
occur within relatively short distances.
It is what drew me there to look for evidence of the creatures
time and conditions. Noon sunlit, beautiful day
environment near large river, small stream, dense thickets and
swampland are also high in the valley within three quarter mile
radius. Follow up investigation.
The witness has photographs showing the Aspen, not Birch
tree before and after its top is snapped off.
It is a healthy looking tree approximately 7 inches in
diameter at chest height. Pretty good size and four inches
in diameter about 16 feet up where it broke off.
Wow, the top 15 feet or so. The crown of the tree was in
full leaf when it broke off. I inspected the tree and cannot
understand why it would break off as it did.
I did not find any hair stuck to the tree as indicated.
The witness has a picture showing the intact tree
photograph. Incidentally says when taking
pictures, show the surrounding area and then a picture of the
same tree taken from nearby the same position.
The weather was calm and it was warm and it was a warm sunny day
when this happened. The trunk of the tree at the
break point was green and strong looking.
The cash track lacks sufficient details to determine how it was
made or what made it. It can only be said that a
Sasquatch may have made it. The photograph the witness
refers to as showing a possible Sasquatch could be interpreted
as being only a pattern in the leaves.
That would be my interpretation of it.
It does warrant further scrutiny, however, and the
witness is pursuing that. While to me the most compelling
aspect of this incident is the tree break, I cannot see how it
could have happened under the circumstances the witness
described unless an animal did it.
I've gotten to know the witness quite well and trust his
history. I mean, how in the world this
thing get up in the air 16 feet to break that thing off?
That's the question that I have. Let's take a look at this one
here. This says year 2000 season
Spring month of March, date 28th.
Wisconsin Clark County Location details 1 1/2 miles from Granton
on County Highway H York Township 9 miles northeast of
the City of Nellsville. Nearest town Granton.
Nearest Rd. County Highway H Observed.
Initial report received as the Associated Media article linked
below. I spoke with James Hughes
tonight and he sounded very credible.
Of course, this is 24 years ago. Mr. Hughes told me that on the
morning of March 28th, at approximately 5:15 AM, he was
driving on Hwy. H, approximately 11 1/2 miles
from his home in Clark County, York Township, when he saw a
large dark figure up ahead in the road.
As he got within approximately 35 feet of it, he saw his.
He saw this creature step down into a ditch on the side of the
road when he was almost up to it, approximately 200 to 300
yards away. He said it was carrying
something that looked like a goat or sheep.
When he got up to where it was, he slowed down to get a better
look and it turned and looked right at him.
Mr. Hughes said that it was covered with fur, even the face
area, except for two darker spots that were where the eyes
would have been. It had large honey color patches
of fur all over it. This area is approximately 9
miles northeast of the city of Nellsville and mostly farmland
with some wooded areas. Mr. Hughes got out of there as
fast as he could and did not report this to the Clark County
Sheriff's Department until the next day for fear that people
would say he was crazy. The Sheriff's Department said a
deputy to check the area out, but he did not find any
footprints or other evidence. Mr. Hughes said that there is a
very large hay field where he saw this creature and at the
ground is very hard sod which would not show footprints.
He thinks that this creature must have come across this hay
field. Interesting.
Well, he did report it, which is cool.
I mean, I respect people take the time to, you know, go ahead
and report these things, even though sometimes it's at the at
the risk of being ridiculed, this scenario is from 2012.
It says November 21st Crawford County Wisconsin location
details After you turn off from the Highway 61 Boscobel Bridge,
go about 150 yards and there is a house on the left.
Right after that and just before the trail to the right down to
the river is where the incident took place at nearest town,
Boscobel Hwy. 60. The Wisconsin River runs right
by my town. I am an avid Deer Hunter, Turkey
hunter, fisherman and so on. I have been in the woods my
whole life. 48 years old in this area and I have never seen this
before. I was leaving to go deer hunting
and I just pulled onto the main highway along the river and
started to accelerate. When I look down into the river
bottom where there are a lot of tops and trees and general river
wash, sitting on a log was what looked like a very large hairy
man all dressed in shaggy brown fur driving along looks down
there in the river bottom sitting this log is Bigfoot.
It was just coming daylight and I was doing about 20 miles an
hour when I went by but his head was down between his shoulder
blades like and I remember that the legs just looked huge and
the top of the head was cone shaped.
I got down to the intersection and turned it around and went
back, but when I got back whatever was there was already
gone. There is a natural high bank
bend in the river about 30 yards from where it was sitting, so
whatever it was could have moved under that and out of sight.
I have heard sounds that are on tape since I was young boy Coon
hunting with my dad. There is a natural high bank
bend in the river about 30 yards from where it was sitting, so
whatever it was could have moved under that and out of sight.
I have heard sounds that are on the on tape since I was a young
boy Coon hunting with my dad in these bottoms and my dad always
said that something followed us while we were Coon hunting the
river bottoms but since it didn't bother us he never
bothered it. And that my uncle would often
skin the Coon right in the woods and leave the carcass for
whatever was there. I know an old friend of mine
that went up to Wisconsin Coon hunting back in the day and he
says, boy, it's really something up there.
I guess it's renowned for that sport, or at least used to be.
At least, you know, 20-30, forty years ago, they called the one
way valley north of us the screaming Woman valley because
late at night in the late fall, early winter, people used to
hear screams from the bottoms that were often just put off as
bobcat or links. In 2012 I was not sure what I
saw but as time goes on and I talked to the people I'm
convinced that I saw a Sasquatch that morning.
Nothing else makes sense to me. Also notice it says in the
report I have went out this year during hunting season and did
some wood knocks and calls but all I have heard is coyotes.
I think 1 morning right before daylight I was on a Ridge
looking over the river and I did see some knocks and I thought I
heard something in the distance across the river toward the
South. Other stories just incidents
with my dad and then one of my Co worker.
It says this happened around 7:15 in the morning because it
was overcast and looked like rain so I held off going out to
hunt until after sunrise. There was no fog but it was a
little hazy environment. Wisconsin River swampy along the
river and a big flat area before the river flat that was covered
in logs and downed trees. Hwy. 61 bridge follow up
investigation it says Robert Barr height Alan got up early to
look for good deer hunting locations on this day.
He left home just after Daybreak and headed north on Hwy. 60 just
after crossing the Wisconsin River.
There's a lot of undergrowth and bottoms close to the road.
Alan was driving slow, maybe 25 mile per hour.
As he was looking over the bottoms for deer, he clearly saw
a very large dark Gray figure sitting on a large log about 25
to 30 yards from the edge of the road and with its back angle
toward the road. As he approached it, the figure
appeared to turn its shoulders toward the road and Alan slowed
way down because it seemed so out of place.
The head was much larger than a person's and wasn't shaped like
a person's either. Rather, it was cone shaped and
was set deep down between his shoulders.
The hair was scraggly and was a dark Gray.
What struck Alan, who has been involved with athletics for
decades, was the massive size of the legs, which were slowly
swinging and which he could clearly see.
Alan didn't get a good look at the face because he was more
focused on why there was such a large thing sitting there.
It looked like a person on a large log hunting, waiting for
something to come by and being hunting season.
Alan didn't think it was a person dressed in a gully suit,
simply because it would be extremely dangerous to do so.
Alan and continued N about 1/4 mile to the intersection of Hwy.
80 and Hwy. 61, turned down and drove back to the location, but
it was gone, either back in the bottoms or across the road and
into the woods. I found Allen, who is an avid
outdoorsman and who has lived in the area his entire life, to be
a very credible witness. And Allen urges other witnesses
to come forward and file reports.
That's pretty cool, pretty cool. Just imagine driving along
there. You look over that river bottom
and see this giant Bigfoot Sasquatch just sitting there
just just chilling on a log. Pretty cool.
A lot of neat behavior like that.
This one is from 2008. We'll do a couple more here and
finish up. It says November 28th, Florence
County, Wisconsin, nearest town Florence Duck Lane Rd.
I know it has been almost two years since this incident, but a
friend of mine encouraged me to report the sound I heard in the
Northwoods of Wisconsin. After harvesting a whitetail
deer earlier in the evening near my cabin.
My father and I decided to transport the deer to a friend's
cabin about 6 miles northwest of our cabin to field rest the
animal. We did this as we do not want
the intrails to be left near our cabin for our dogs or any other
wildlife to pick through. We arrived at the cabin and
about an hour after midnight and I began to clean the deer.
I was standing in a small ditch that runs off the back of the
gravel driveway. Behind me is a dense pocket of
evergreens, and between myself and the cabin, which is about 40
yards away, was my father holding a flashlight and the
truck also with his headlights on.
In my direction. To my right was a small storage
shed. Past my father is the driveway
leading to the cabin, and lining the outside of the driveway was
a stance of evergreens which blocked my view of a small field
with underbrush and small pockets of bushes.
On the other side of the cabin is Moore Forest, which is
privately owned and surrounded by national Parkland.
As I began cleaning the deer, I heard a loud whoop come from
just the other side of the cabin.
The whoop was loud and became louder as it ended.
Following that were 3 short whoops that were fairly similar
to one another but much shorter than the first.
It did not last more than 7 seconds and was calm again.
What was so frightening about the sound was the purity and
intensity of the sound. It felt as though it engulfed
your entire body. The sound frightened us so badly
that my father and I both quickly returned to the truck,
bloody knife and all, and shined the flashlight in the general
direction. It scared us enough that when I
asked my father to drive up to the cabin to have a look, he
refused. After about 15 minutes in the
truck, I quickly finished the cleaning and we headed out of
there, both pretty shaken up over what we'd heard.
Now I have been hunting in the Northwoods since I was 12 years
old and I have heard some pretty odd sounds at my time, but this
one was unlike anything I have ever heard.
I have listened to coyotes and heard their strange screams and
cries, and I've listened to many owls both up north and at my
home, but I can honestly say there was they were nothing
alike. I decided to post this after
listening to the first recorded sounds you have on the website
and find them to be pretty close to the sound I heard, yet a bit
different. Ever since I've told this story
to my friend, he has been fascinated by Sasquatch research
and this site. With some research and
encouragement from him, I decided to finally add this
sound. I realize it is hard to explain
the sound but I will never forget it and neither will my
father. Also notice it says we returned
the next morning to search the area but found nothing, mainly
due to the light snow cover and the weeds and grass that cover
most of the forest ground. One witness, my father who was
holding a flashlight in my direction.
Other stories. I have never heard anything like
this in my entire life and I have been spending time outdoors
since I was a young boy and have been hunting these woods since I
was 12 years old. Time and condition about 7:00 PM
says dark, chilly clear night with no wind.
Environment. Open force with a few stances of
evergreens lining the driveway and front plot.
One acre open field with a small cabin and a corn feeder under.
Follow up investigation says I interviewed this witness who is
a student and a volunteer firefighter that has haunted in
the area with his family for several years and his much
attuned to the different wildlife sounds in this area.
He spent several hours listening to other wildlife vocalizations
including owls and coyotes to match what he and his father had
heard. He could not match it to
anything else, but it was able able to closely match it to the
vocalizations both at 73 Piattville, Washington and 78
Sonoma County. Yeah, they got some cool sounds
on here. We've we've played those before.
Very neat stuff. We'll do two more here and we'll
wrap this up. This is from November 2nd, 2012.
It says Iowa County, Wisconsin Location details Hwy. 133 toward
Akova county N Fairview road, nearest town Abaco, Fairfield
Rd. City North observed.
Just got home around 9:00 PM. Walked into the house, turned on
overhead light in living room. Was standing behind recliner
waiting for my wife to remove her coat and put it in the hall
closet. The window is to the South.
Saw an upright creature walk past the window on the deck
attached to the house. Oh man.
Could not determine the height. Poor visibility.
Creature was sandy brown. A collar had short, very clean
WAVY hair. Waves were in vertical
appearance, not horizontal. Over the years we have heard
vocalizations and loud bangs only one at a time.
This activity occurs in the months of October and November.
I do not believe that they reside here.
I think they are moving S for the winter.
Our house is on a high promenade high above a valley.
This seems to be a runway for all animals.
Man, that's something that's a little scary.
Witnesses one for sighting, 3 for bangs, time conditions,
night dark clear weather, heavily wooded rocky terrain.
Follow up says. I had the pleasure to interview
George, a lively 82 year old who is anything but retired.
He and his wife live atop a tall hill which has a deep valley on
two sides. On November 2nd, they had just
returned home from dinner and had parked in the garage.
After parking, George walked through the adjoining hallway
from the garage to the house, put away a doggy bag, walked
over to a chair and looked out of double window.
His wife was in the hallway hanging up her coat.
George turned on a lamp and observed a figure on the deck
slowly walked past the window. All that was visible was from
the shoulders down to the hips. No head was visible.
The hair was smooth like a dog and not fluffy like fur.
George stated. Quote It was WAVY, like a 1920
woman's hairdo, and maybe an inch long, and it was brown in
color. The figure moved from left to
right, so all that was visible was the right side of the body.
George waited for maybe 10 seconds before turning on the
porch light, but then it was gone.
It was positive it wasn't his wife's reflection in the window
because he would have been blocking it.
George went on to describe other instances over the past five
years, including vocalizations. Long moan, like howls.
And he mimicked a howl for me. Put your hands on each side of
your mouth and yell Aww. In the fall, the house would be
hit late at night or early in the morning, slapped wow, and
only on one occasion, while relaxing in the hot tub on the
deck late one night, he was overcome with the feeling of
horrible fright that he had better run.
Tree knocks were heard on November 1st and November 2nd,
as well as a census of 2000. There were nearly 22,780 people
residing in the county. The population density was 30
people per square mile. The natural vegetation is mostly
oak Savannah with the Belt of Prairie, blue stream and
composites across the center and on to the southeast and South
Central areas of the county. The area of the site is part of
the Wisconsin River watershed, and it's northwest corner of the
county. There were also a lot of caves
in the general area. Yeah, there are a lot of caves
out there. I suppose that would be pretty
good habitat for these things. Let's go ahead and take a look
at this last one right here. This is from the spring of 1995.
This is April. Saint Croix County, Wisconsin
Croix location details. County Road K going out of New
Richmond takes you to 170th Street where my parents live.
There is a river, a small pond or marsh, railroad tracks
nearby. This is about 3/4 of a mile off
K on 170th. Nearest town New Richmond which
is 6 miles away. Nearest Rd. 170th St. which they
were driving on observed I was driving my car near my house.
The road curbs a lot. Then you go up a small hill and
I was coming down the small hill near the railroad crossing and I
saw a huge 7 to 8 foot 3 to 400 LB creature walking with this
back to me on my side of the road.
It was silvery white Gray with dark Gray roots and Gray
patches. It had very broad shoulders and
almost no neck. I don't think it's head was
pointed. It was walking almost leisurely
down the road. I was so scared I didn't know
whether to stop, honk, or turn around, so I kept driving.
As I got closer, I started to scream and terror.
The closer I got, the louder and more terrified my screams
became. I remember seeing a cow lick on
its back at the intersection of K and 170th.
I stopped for a minute, hyperventilating and full of
adrenaline. I wanted to turn a car over or
seriously hurt something. I was so scared and angry.
Must have been the adrenaline. I didn't dare look at my rear
view because if I saw its face it would have had a heart
attack. Boy this person here, they
really got it, it says. I can't believe I didn't relate
these events. About a year prior my cousin and
I were camping at my parents house on the same river
downstream from above. This incident at around 11 above
the wind we could hear branches and twigs breaking.
We brushed that off. Then came a smaller caplash in
the river. 5 minutes later came another crisplish.
My cousin 12 got scared and I was trying to be brave.
I knew I was being watched because I was trying to act
normal but was very scared. We stayed up and talked to try
and dissipate the fear I guess. About 45 minutes later as we
were dozing off a loud crash and a thump like a tree full of
leaves falling to the ground. We were a half a mile from my
parents house. We both bolted full of fear.
My cousin had no shoes on. I raced to put mine on and we
ran in the complete dark. It was a cloudy and slightly
breezy night but really warm early summer 1994 or so.
I couldn't see my hand in front of my face and yelled at my
cousin to stop. We were both so scared and when
we got to the house we couldn't talk or even think of sleeping.
The house is full of large windows and we couldn't take our
eyes off the floor. I knew something was watching
us. My dad yelled at me a few days
later for not cleaning up our campsite, but there was no way I
was going down there. Time and condition.
Remember it was a clear story. Night.
The weather was in the 40s and 50s at night.
Environment. There is mostly farmland and
Prairie, but along the river, the Apple River I believe it
says there are pine forest and other trees and some larger
forest. My sighting was very near the
river, about 300 feet or so, and very near a small pond and
railroad tracks. Follow up investigation and two
phone interviews with the witness, I learned more about
the sighting he briefly describes in his report.
It was quite an extraordinary encounter for him that became
clear as I listened to him tell his story.
As a witness suggests, the sighting really frightened him.
He told me that as he approached the creature, which was just off
the road walking parallel to it, it became increasingly clear
that it wasn't a man and that it definitely wasn't that.
It was a huge hair covered creature and he started
screaming, but neither his car rolling past closely nor his
screaming seemed to bother the creature.
It showed no reaction to him passing by at all.
He's passing his Bigfoot screaming at the top of his
lungs and Bigfoot don't care. Much like honey badger.
The witness's description of the creature says it was huge.
He used that word several times in telling me about it.
And the collar was interesting, seemingly very light grey,
silver, white. It's almost like this is
geriatric Bigfoot. And he got the impression of the
hair color was somewhat darker and closer to its, but as it was
closer to his body, he thought the cow look he mentions might
have revealed that because roots of the hair showed somewhat
there. The cowlick was striking to him.
It was at the top of the creature's back, at the base of
his neck. Otherwise the animal was sleek.
He said the hair was not more than two or three inches long
and lay close to the body so he could see its muscles and strong
build. Well, the collar did not vary
over the creature's body, and it was entirely covered in hair, at
least from his view, which was just the backside.
The shoulders were very large, and the waist was narrow.
Its upper body was like a triangle, the witness said, And
when I asked if it looked healthy, he said, Oh yeah.
When I asked the witness to speculate on the animal's
gender, he said he'd guess male and thought it seemed masculine.
He described the head, which he saw only from behind.
It's being set quite low and forward on the shoulders.
It didn't have much of A neck, he said, and he didn't think the
head had any kind of a point at the top.
He'd recently read some other BFR reports indicating point.
It has, not this one. The witness, a man in his mid
20s and in his middle teens at the time, says he'd recently
gotten his drivers license and was very believable to me.
His reaction to seeing such a creature in the dark by himself
was to freak out. He said he pulled over shortly
after the sighting and just roared from the jarring anxiety
of experience that had caused him.
He then told no one about it. He couldn't quite articulate why
for me, but for some reason he just put the experience aside
and didn't think much about it until recently when he stumbled
onto the BFRO website. When I asked if he was certain
about it, he said absolutely. He saw that huge, nearly white
creature and he sure it was a real animal.
It was not someone in this suit. It looked like a great big
monkey, he told me. It's interesting to note that in
2000 and also in the spring, a big Gray creature was seen near
Grant in Wisconsin, which is about 100 miles east of where
this sighting occurred. In 1972 near Willow Creek,
Minnesota, about 100 miles north of this sighting, 2 white
creatures were seen. Makes you wonder.
Well there are our Bigfoot reports from Wisconsin.
Hope you enjoyed that. Until next time, this is UFO
warning over and out.
