Hello and welcome to the program UFO Warning.
In this episode we're talking about Louisiana Bigfoot Reports.
That's correct, Louisiana Bigfoot Reports.
This first one comes to us from looks like October 23rd 2000,
Ascension Parish, Louisiana. It says nearest town Sorrento,
Louisiana. Nearest Rd.
Airline highway Hwy. 61 observed.
I was driving home from work and it was about 7:00 in the
evening. I had my headlights on.
I live in Sorrento, LA off Hwy. 61 Arlene Highway about two
miles from home. On 61 I saw a creature.
I always look at this time of day for deer, armadillo,
Opossum, dogs, etcetera. While I was looking off the
passenger side of the road, this creature sprung up from the
ditch. My headlights shined right on
the front of it. It was somewhat like a sloth,
hairy all over, but a light Gray collar.
It had a small round head with a brown nose.
The eyes did not glow but were white around them.
It had extra long arms and a very thin body.
It was at least six to seven foot tall.
I couldn't believe what I'd seen.
I wanted to turn around, but there was no turn crossing
alone. I just kept driving.
It stood upright and seemed to be leaping up out of the ditch.
Its hair was not long and bushy, but sleek and close to the body.
It seemed smart, unlike the sloth.
It was man like other witnesses. None, just them.
It says time and condition 7:00 PM in the evening in the
environment. There is a canal that runs along
Hwy. 61. It is swampy and there are
Cypress trees, a lot of alligators, snakes and turtles.
Now the follow up investigator says on the Ohio Sound and
Sketches page it says there is a composite sketch with which
likely illustrates what witnesses are referring to.
When they describe some sasquatches as looking like a
sloth, they're referring to a South American Frito sloth with
a primate with a primate like face.
They don't mean the body is sloth like.
That's interesting. OK, so another witness described
this face type as the hyena, like the 1955 William Row sketch
from British Columbia depicts the same face shape on a
Sasquatch that is clearly female.
Very interesting. So we're seeing a couple of
different types of these things showing up there.
This one here is from October 1980.
It says location details north of Oakdale, about two to 2 1/2
miles east of Hwy. 165, about 250 to 300 yards north of Old
Whaley Rd. This area now has a federal
prison on this land. Nearest town Oakdale, nearest
Rd. Old Waitley Rd.
This WHATLEY observed it was late in the afternoon, close to
sundown. The time is unknown.
I was hunting with my dog for about an hour when I got a
strange feeling of being watched.
I dismissed the feeling as another hunter being in the area
watching me. After another 10 to 15 minutes
my dog ran into a thicket. He was not barking at all, which
was very strange to me. I called him several times and
he would not respond. Then all at once he started
barking. After a few seconds I heard a
scream. It was so loud I could clearly
hear the sound over the dog barking.
The dog quit barking and I could hear the other sounds of the
snapping twigs and limbs. My dog came running out of the
brush right past me in the direction of my home.
I called him but he wouldn't stop.
I turned back toward the area where he came from and what I
saw scared the heck out of me. I was standing about 25 yards
from the thicket and I can make out the outline of something
standing in the brush. It was about 7 foot tall or more
and very large. The plants around him I call to
him were a light brown with some green mixed in.
The figure was a little darker. I do not remember a a smell of
any kind. It seemed to be looking at me,
but I couldn't tell at that distance.
It began to move toward me. I could see the brush moving and
I could tell that it was alive. I turned and ran and never
looked back. I ran all the way home where I
found my dog hiding under my dad's truck in the garage.
I never told anyone this before. Wow, and that's something now
they said they went back and didn't find anything, but they
described this area as a pine oak flat water that says pine
oak flat water standing in some areas.
A lot of the areas overgrown with brush and small trees so
much that a human should not get in some places.
Nearest home one mile South, very large and deep flood
control area. Canal 1/2 mile SE sounds like a
really remote, maybe a dangerous area actually to be in.
Isn't that something? This next one's from 1925.
It says it was in the fall. It was in Avavelas parish.
It says nearest town is Borderlandsville, Louisiana.
Nearest Rd. Horseshoe Lake observed.
Because of today's report of a Bigfoot body, my memory was
Jarred by a story from my now deceased grandfather.
In the fall of 1925, my grandfather and his brother were
hunting ducks around Horseshoe Lake in Borderlineville,
Louisiana. The area was swampy and woodsy
but opened onto farmland and pastures.
Papa and my uncle were headed into the duck blinds at sunrise.
The weather was cool and the and the steam was coming off the
water. After climbing over a pasture
fence with a kerosene lamp, they saw 2 red round reflections in
the tree line ahead of them. They stopped in their tracks as
the lights came closer to them. Attracted to the light, Pawpaw
said that he and his brother were frozen in fear and couldn't
move. I don't know what the French
name they used for it was, but as it came closer it was a
lumbering funny figure with red eyes reflecting in the light.
When it came within a few feet my uncle panicked and slapped my
grandfather and they dropped everything they had with them
and Ren like heck all the way back to home.
That story is our family legend and I always thought they were
joking when telling it. Maybe they weren't.
It says witnesses. Two brothers were together going
hunting. Timing, conditions, sunrise,
blackness against rising sun, dark enough for a lamp,
environment, woods and brush, it says.
I spoke to the granddaughter of the gentleman that had this
encounter. She stated that from the time
she was very small, her grandfather had told her this
story time and time again until he eventually passed on.
I asked her if her great uncle, the other witness to the story,
had ever told her what had happened to them and she said
that he never spoke of it to her.
When her grandfather told her and the other members of the
family what had happened that night, her grandfather was
always adamant and that what he related to them actually
happened and that it wasn't and that it was actually a true
story. During the 1920s, her family
owned land next to Horseshoe Lake.
She said at the time, the area was mostly comprised of of crop
lands that consisted of cotton, sugar cane or pasture land for
cows. The the rest was Woodlands,
marsh and brush. In my in my research in that
area I have found that little has changed except that sugar
cane has been substituted for corn and soybeans.
Some of the surrounding areas have been converted into
wildlife refugee parks with a few subdivisions added here or
there. I found their granddaughter very
willing and matter of fact when I spoke to her over the phone.
The story she submitted is clear to her and her family, and she
feels that what her grandfather told her was true.
Pretty neat, Pretty neat that they can pass stories down like
that over generations, you know? This is from November 1987, it
says. Location Katy Parish, Oil City,
LA adjacent to Black Bayou, nearest town, Oil City observed.
I had stopped my boat along Black Bayou to go look at a pond
that usually contained ducks on the other side of the levee.
As I was approaching the levee, I caught a glimpse of something
to my left. It was about 200 yards away.
I stopped behind a tree and peeked out to have a good look.
On the edge of the levee was a creature that appeared to be
about 6 foot tall. It had shaggy dark brown hair
and was walking upright. The creature was walking
directly toward me. I was still watching the
creature when it was about 100 yards away.
I wasn't scared at all because my shotgun was fully loaded.
The creature stopped about 100 yards away and looked directly
in the direction that I was hiding.
From the way I acted, from the way it acted.
I think he smelled me or something because I didn't,
because I didn't make a sound or move.
The thing paused for about 3 or 4 seconds, then bolted directly
over the levee, headed for the big wood and headed for the big
woods. I immediately ran to the top of
the levee to get another look at the thing.
When I got to the top of the levee, the thing was entering
the edge of the woods, which was about 200 yards away.
This thing covered 200 yards to my 50 yards and I was on a dead
run. I was trying to sneak up on this
pond that was on the other side of the levee and possibly kill
some ducks when I see this thing walking the edge of the woods
along the bottom of the levee. Wow, what an encounter.
Also notice the wind was howling was the wind was blowing
directly from my back toward the creature.
I had taken a shower that morning and had applied shampoo,
soap and deodorant as usual. I think this thing had an
incredible sense of smell because that was concealed very
well when the creature bolted over the levee environment.
Dense woods along the Bayou with heavy running parallel to the
Bayou. This area the creature ran into
is very dense hardwoods of several 1000 acres.
Sounds like some pretty good Bigfoot habitat to me.
Very cool. Take a look at this next one
here. This one's kind of an old one.
It says 1977 to 1981 Louisiana Clatham, Clathbourne Parish.
It says location details. It was a large back top Rd.
It was a large black top Rd. off Hwy. 2 just before the Lisbon
city limits. It was a circle Rd. with a few
homes on it. There was a church just up the
road called Rocky Springs Baptist Church nearest town
Elizabeth, Louisiana nearest Rd. Hwy. 2 observed.
There were actually several incidents that took place when
my family resided in this particular location.
I will try to hit on a few here. One night my mother, my
grandmother and I heard a law bang on the back of the house
which shook the house. When we went to check it out, we
saw a large figure passed by the dining room window.
This window was rather high off the ground.
I was about 10 or 11 at the time and I could not even reach the
bottom of the window, but whatever it was covered the
entire window from top to bottom wow and side to side as it
passed over it. So it had to be tall and rather
large. It was dark and color and
appeared to be covered with hair.
My grandmother got her gun and we spent most of that night
without sleep. On another night in the early
fall, I was in bed with my window open above my head.
My mother was in the bathroom right next to my room in the
shower with the window beside her also open at the same time.
We heard something walking in the levee in our yard just
outside. She ran from the bathroom to my
room. I heard this thing walking and
breaking and breaking sticks as it approached.
I could also hear it breathing. It had the I had the impression
it was quite large from the sound of the breathing which was
heavy. I made a slight deep.
It made a slight deep moaning sound as it breathed.
I was paralyzed with fear and I could not look out my window.
I could not even get out of my bed when my mother came to the
door and yelled for me to come to her.
She made herself come to my bed and grabbed me out of the bed,
but she also couldn't bring herself to look out the window.
It made the hairs stand up on her necks and we just weren't
able to try and look at it. We did not smell anything that
night. We could not find footprints
from either of these incidents because of the air being covered
with leaves. However, we did find broken
sticks where it was apparent something rather heavy had
walked in order to break them. We didn't.
We didn't weigh enough to break them.
We tried and we did find footprints on numerous
occasions. Out behind our home down a dirt
Rd. that went not even a quarter of a mile to an oil well, we
discovered hairs on the barbed wire fence.
We saved some of these and I believe my parents sent them off
to be analyzed, but we never heard anything from it.
The hair color did not match any animals in the field nearby.
The animals in the field were cows and were black and red and
collar. This hair was a light brown.
It was also about four or five inches long.
This is going to sound a little bit far fixed, but during the
time we lived there we witnessed what we believed was a young
Sasquatch become mature. It happened over a period of
years. We first noticed a rather large
4 toed footprint. I have no idea where the 5th toe
was between prints and 1 was so heavy that it imprinted in some
soft rock in the area. We watched these footprints a
lot. No one we showed them to could
identify them. However, bear prints were ruled
out by the people we showed them to.
We saw them all the time there. There was a pond nearby that may
that maybe it was using for water.
One day we noticed a smaller set of prints alongside the larger
ones. We watched over time as these
prints got larger and larger with the other ones.
Then one day it it was just one set of smaller prints.
Those got larger and larger until they reached what which
appeared to us is grown. Even up to the time we moved
from there, we had incidents and saw these prints.
We also saw where it looked like something had bedded down under
a rolled out tree and had packed the ground with straw.
There were tiny pieces were tiny piles of bones and feathers
there too, not strewing around but arranged nearby in piles.
My grandmother heard something in those woods also while
hunting that sent her running as fast as she could.
She lost her footing and tumbled down the hill and skinned
herself up. She could not describe the sound
to us, she just kept saying it was not like any sound she had
ever heard. She had been tracking a buck and
listening to it snort in some dense brush when she heard it
from the opposite direction. It only yelled once, but that
was enough to scare her so badly to cause her to hurt herself
getting away and she was in shock when she got back to the
house. Wow.
Goes on down here and has a couple more little things it
talks about. Very strange.
It sounds like they're right in the middle of a Bigfoot hotspot
almost. Let's take a look at a couple
more here. So we'll do three more here and
wrap this up. This one comes to us from
November 18th at 2000, it says LaSalle Parish, Louisiana.
Looks like nearest town. Georgetown observed.
This encounter was shared with BFRO researcher Scott Kessler
and Patricia Norman on January 27th, 2001 by 214 year old
hunters KH and LC describing their experience in N8.
On November 18th, 2000, we rode a four Wheeler to a deer stand
not far from the house. After about 30 minutes, around
4:00 PM, as the sun was beginning to set and it was
almost dusk, we were hunting for deer.
I told my friend KH that I saw something moving closer to a
group of wild hogs about 40 feet away.
As it approached, we saw what looked like a man duck walking
toward the hogs. It scratched his head, looked
around and shifted his weight by shuffling 1 foot back and forth.
It also made blowing sounds like a deer.
It is. When I adjusted my position in
the trees stand, I accidentally hit my shotgun against the
inside of the stand and it heard the noise and stood up.
The hog scattered as it stood up right.
We bolted out of the back of the stand, jumped up on the four
Wheeler and speed away. My after crossing a small Creek
and turning a corner, I looked back and saw it standing by a
tree watching us leave. We observed it for a total of
about 10 minutes. It was reddish brown, covered in
hair and we could see its eyes. The face was somewhat covered
with hair, but not as densely as the rest of the body.
It appeared to be around 7 feet tall and weighed approximately
300 to £350. It was unusually quiet with no
sounds except for the hogs rooting.
Wow. Other witnesses it says 2, Both
deer hunting over the past few weeks near my father's house
during the early evening hours. The dogs have been acting up and
some get scared. When my dad and I checked out,
we see a large tall figure near the oak trees that runs off when
approached. Several deer feeders have also
been destroyed in recent weeks, with one found containing a dead
squirrel with his tail removed. Wow time conditions almost dusk
around 4:30 it says environment, pine forest with swampy areas
and oak trees. Follow up investigative report.
This is the same area where I cast a 12 inch track and found
several others in April 2000. The sketch shows how the
creature was walking or duck walking and does not match the
appearance of one described by the witnesses which had more
hair covering its body, arms and face.
The deer stand they used was fully encased, was fully
enclosed ground level stand and they were within 50 feet of the
creature at most. We examine the feeders which had
been smashed and torn from the trees.
One feeder was located at the siding area.
It says investigations in this area are ongoing.
Sounds like they've got multiple reports of these things down
there. That is wild.
Take a look at this next one here.
This one says 1970s says spring may actually Jefferson Parish
nearest town Camario nearest Rd. Avenue A, an 8 foot tall,
upright, bipedal, dark haired, covered apparent hominid with
long arms crossing a residential St. in Mourinho, Louisiana.
The unknown entity crossed a 22 foot wide St. in three steps but
was not running. Two police officers responding
to a prowler call. Other stories not available.
Wow. OK, so it says down here, follow
up investigation. I spoke at length with this
witness who was nearly 40 years, who has many 40 years of
experience in the military and law enforcement making his
powers of observation exceptional.
He also holds a degree in anthropology and is
knowledgeable in Darwinism, quantum physics and mathematics.
The incident occurred when he and his partner, who were part
of AIJ P2O3 Unit Jefferson Parish First responders,
answered a Prowler call at 9:00 PM.
They spoke to the female complaint who reported hearing
someone moving around her property.
After speaking with her, they began to check their perimeter.
AK 9 unit also arrived and was alerted to something unusual.
As the officers rounded a corner, they saw a creature
pressed against the side of a house.
It ran between two houses, passed under a street light and
disappeared into a wooded, marshy area near a canal.
The dogs lost the scent once it entered the marsh.
The creature was estimated to be at least 8 foot tall, massively
built, bipedal, and covered in dark hair.
It crossed a 22 foot St. and just three strides.
The officers had a clearview as it passed under the streetlight
and since it was not running, they could observe it well.
The event spanned 2 city blocks before the creature vanished
into the marsh. The sighting occurred just a few
blocks from Jefferson General Hospital.
The area is bordered by the canals of the Mississippi River,
making it feasible looking to move undetected using the
marshes and canal system for cover.
The witness mentioned that he and his partners briefly
discussed the incident that night, but not much afterwards.
Due to their workload as first responders handling numerous
calls per shift and their report writing that followed, there was
little time to discuss the events beyond completing
reports. He stated that seeing daylight
at the end of a shift was the primary goal, as it meant
surviving another day. The incident was officially
recorded, but the description was kept vague, noting only very
tall and dark and caller with no clothing description.
The witnesses supervisors were informed verbally about what
they saw, but no further attention was given.
Over time, he found that reports of unexplainable incidents, much
like now, rarely reach the public.
The Witness, who later revisited the reports seven years after
the event, could not find them. His partner passed away at 37,
so they never had a chance to discuss it again.
He noted that his partner was a quite serious man who was not
comfortable talking about strange incidents.
The witness likened reporting the sighting to the stigma faced
by airline pilots reporting UFOs.
He did mention that his commander at the time was open
to the idea of the existence of Sasquatch, allowing them to
include a general description in their report.
Although the witness had no prior knowledge or belief in
Sasquatch at the time, his background in anthropology left
no doubt about what he saw. This one comes to us from 1982,
it says June 5th. Louisiana, East Baton Rouge
Parish. This area is full of small
streams that flow into Beaver Creek.
Greenwald Springs, Frenchtown Rd.
Observed. This incident happened a long
time ago and I have never shared it with anyone before.
I was about 7 years old at the time.
I had just finished lunch at home and went outside to play in
the woods behind my house. Our house was situated on the
edge of the of some dense forest.
Alone. I climbed down into a ditch that
drained into Beaver Creek. When I climbed out on the other
side, I looked around and saw something staring at me.
It was standing motionless in a bamboo thicket.
I remember the wind blowing and the fur on its head moving.
It showed no expression. It made no sound.
I was paralyzed with fear and couldn't move.
It had been standing on two feet because the bamboo was much
taller than I was. After repeatedly recalling this
event, I estimate it was about 5 to 6 feet tall.
What stood out most was the stair.
I didn't want to run because I wasn't sure if it would if it
would charge like a dog or not. Slowly I backed down into a
ditch and climbed up the other side, making sure not to turn my
back on it. Once I reached the edge of the
woods, I ran. I remember it's collar.
It was reddish brown. I'm not sure if older kids were
playing a trick on me, but it felt very real at the time.
Well, for years after this, he says, I found trees with bark
stripped up to four feet high. There are Beavers in the area.
Though. Other witnesses, none other
people have reported hearing screams at night.
A few years ago my mom heard an animal running into the woods
and screaming when she was taking out the trash in the same
area where I had run out of the woods years earlier.
We have also occasionally found small deer carcasses.
This spot is close to the city, but I believe I saw something
out of the ordinary. Time Conditions 11:00 AM to 2:00
PM already. Afternoon.
The woods are not dense in this area due to the waterways.
There is a lot of vegetation including bamboo, ironwood, pine
and water oak. Well, sounds like lots and lots
of good Bigfoot habitat down there in Louisiana and people
are definitely seeing these things.
Until next time, this is UFO warning over and out.
