Hello and welcome to the program UFO Warning.
In this episode we're talking about Bigfoot reports from
Arizona. That's correct, Bigfoot reports
from Arizona. This first one that we're
looking at happened back on June 10th, 2021, says it happened in
Apache County, Arizona. They've got a lot of great
pictures with it over there. bfro.net.
Bfro.net just a wonderful repository of Bigfoot sightings.
Really love this site. Under location details tells us
original witness note near dead end road beside I-40 W has a
picture pretty close to the highway where they saw this
thing at. Investigator note the dead end
frontage Rd. is a Carroll Rd. It is a few miles West of
Chambers Arizona. That gives according this
nearest town Holbrook nearest road I-40 W observed heading
West on I-40. Today at 9:30 my wife and I saw
Bigfoot 100 to 150 yards from the highway heading north.
It was not running but walking. It never looked at the highway.
It must have been 7 to 8 feet tall.
It was thick and was well built. There was a rock outcropping
behind it which made it very visible.
There had to be other travelers who saw this also.
We got a long look at it, 15 to 20 seconds.
It was West of Hoak, Arizona and it gives it coordinates in
Apache County, Arizona. And then it's got a picture from
the road how they were looking at this thing just and it's
desolate. I mean sagebrush and you know,
just not much growing and no trees, just rocks.
So clearly they would have seen this thing.
We were traveling in a 30 foot motor home so I couldn't stop.
There were other cars behind me, a red motor coach towing the car
with the woman driving. I'd like to add that it was like
seeing any other type of natural wildlife on the side of the
highway. They are real and I'm a believer
now. It's hard to explain it to even
family. I'm 62 years old and have
nothing to gain by reporting this except the fact that they
should be documented and protected at all cost.
They are truly one of God's creations.
Other witnesses one my wife riding a passenger seat.
Other stories no time and conditions.
Morning 9:15 to 9:30 environment in front of Rock Hill.
Desert environment that's got a picture of this guy and his
wife. Nice happy middle-aged people.
They're cruising through the country and this cool looking
camper and look out the window and see a Bigfoot says he is
from Florida. This is his first trip West.
He advised that he and his wife Carrie both saw the Bigfoot.
He says it was about the same distance away as the billboards
along the highway. They washed it for 15 to 20
seconds as they pass by at highway speed.
There is no doubt whatsoever in their minds as to what it was.
He described as having dark colored hair and that the lower
legs and feet looked lighter colored due to the dust from the
dry reddish tan soil in the area.
He advised that they could actually see dust kick up behind
each step. He stated there was steady
Highway Traffic at the time due to the big foots proximity to
the highway and its collar against the light background.
There is no way all caps Other drivers did not see it.
And then investigator notes Matt Moneymakers.
Investigators says I spoke with Bill Weldon and his wife Carrie.
They are both very credible. They are now in Northern
California staying with relatives.
They are available to speak with local Arizona reporters if
requested. This is a very reliable multi
witness daylight sighting. It is neither a hoax nor a
misidentification. It is an important report
because of the location. The location may indicate an
important migration pathway for Sasquatch's in this part of
Arizona, Apache County. There's also a good chance that
tracks from this incident may still be visible there.
It would be a good place for Arizona investigators to check
out soon before it rains. Fortunately, it doesn't rain
much in June in this region on the map.
Apache County, Arizona is a long vertical shaped county
encompassing more than half of the state with New Mexico.
The northern half of the county is the Navajo Indian
Reservation. The bottom proportion of the
county is Fort Apache Indian Reservation.
These two portions are mostly mountainous and very squatchy.
Lots of tree cover and running water and deer, etcetera.
In these portions there are lots of sighting reports of
Sasquatch's. In between those two lush
mountainous zones is wide open desert with almost no water.
This 100 mile expanse would be inhospitable to Sasquatch's, but
Sasquatch's would need to cross that open expanse to get from 1
mountainous zone to the other. However, would they do it?
Which way would they go? Until now, there were no reports
in that open stretch of desert. This report is in the middle of
that stretch, halfway in between the two mountainous zones.
The BFRO website shows 11 reports for Apache County as of
June 2021. Those are the reports which are
posted publicly if the BFR OS internal data.
In that BFR OS internal database there are 51 reports total for
Apache County. Most have not been investigated
or they are second hand stories, etcetera.
All of the other reports besides this one report are clustered in
the two mountainous zones mentioned above.
In the north, the Chuska Mountains and connecting terrain
around Winter Rock. All this zone is within the vast
Navajo Indian Reservation, the South says the Mongolian, the
Mugalom Rim very roughly between show and low and Alpine, and the
Fort Apache reservation. It's got some great maps here.
The witnesses in this report are both very certain that the
figure was a not a human in dark clothing or BA human in a
Bigfoot costume. It did not have long flowing
hair, rather it was covered with short dark fur.
It seemed very natural, like a real animal.
Both said it seemed too large to be a human, very tall and lanky,
but with very muscular legs. Its arms were swinging as it
walked. The Sasquatch did not seem
hurried or fleeing from view. Bill's impression was that it
was like the pace and movement of a person who was exhausted
and walking in a trance trying to get somewhere. 30 minutes or
so before the sighting, Bill and Kerry had stopped at the Indian
Ruins Indian Store just before Sanders, Arizona, as you head
West on I-40. The store was closed, but they
let their dogs walk around near the store.
One dog is a black Labrador. After walking around, the black
Lab had a lot of red dust on its black fur.
Bill and Kerry said the Sasquatch had the same tinge of
red dust on the fur of its legs. Yeah, I could imagine walking
through that dusty desert environment.
Both Bill and Kerry say the overall color of the fur was not
just black, but rather a dark Gray.
They are certain that it was also spotted by others on I-40
because some of the vehicles ahead of them slowed down as if
to get a better look. The BFRO did not receive any
other reports of this incident. The elevation of the siding
location is roughly 5800 feet. It is high desert with patches
of pinon pine and cedar among boulder outcroppings.
On the day of the incident, the temperature range from lows in
the upper 50s to highs in the upper 80s.
At 9:30 AM the temperature would have been in the mid 70s, hence
it was broad daylight, not very hot yet.
The Sasquatch may have been walking all night from the South
and simply continued walking north in daylight before the
temperature got too hot. The area where it was spotted
heading north is entering hilly terrain with lots of boulder
outcroppings with mini cave like crevices providing shade from
the sun. Also near what was seen, there
is a big stream, Golly that passes underneath Interstate 40.
Thus, it was possible this creature could cross the highway
in daylight without being seen until it was many yards from the
highway. The stream bed near the highway
appears to be very rush but is likely dry most of the time.
The stream has no name but connects to Puerco River on the
other side of the highway. The Puerco River has water
flowing through it after it rains but is dried of the times.
It flows southwest to Petrified Forest National Park.
The National Park has a lot of wildlife, including mule deer,
pronghorn antelope, and dozens of different species of mammals.
The closest area with an established history of sightings
is 40 miles to the northeast, the Window Rock area of the
Navajo Reservation. 20 miles beyond Window Rock to the north
lies the Cheska Mountains on the Arizona, New Mexico border.
The Cheska Mountains range is well known among Bigfoot
researchers and Navajo Indians as a sighting area.
The culmination of this information begs particular
questions. How far can a Sasquatch walk
without a without accessing water?
How many miles? How many days can it go without
water? A human would simply not be able
to walk across this 100 miles of desert with no water, certainly
not in June. Even if the person that only
walks at night in winter after snowstorms, there would be
patches of snow in shaded spots that would provide water for
migrating animals. But not in June.
Even if a summer rainstorm occurred just prior to the
sighting which caused water to run in Porca River, there is
still 50 miles of desert in between that river and Mughalum
rim to the South. On the one hand, this type of
high desert would allow a large, dark Sasquatch to be spotted
from a long distance, even from a small aircraft.
On the other hand, this Sasquatch was probably only
passing through the area on its way between the mountain ranges.
It probably doesn't pass through very often.
That is merely an assumption though.
The accessibility of the location makes it a good place
to investigate if you happen to live between Winslow and Gallup
or you'll be passing through there along Interstate 40.
Route 66. Yes, now would be a good time to
get your kicks on Route 66 before it rains.
If you have an opportunity, please look around the location
for tracks, especially where that stream bed passes
underneath the highway. For the Google Maps link, press
this location, it says WOW and then hear about BFR investigator
Chuck Jacobs. Check.
As a retired fire officer with an extensive background in
firefighting, inspections, investigations and education, he
is a long time Backcountry traveler who has explored some
of the most remote areas of the western states by Jeep and
campervan. His interest in Bigfoot began
many years ago, but he began seriously watching when he
learned about activity his home area in the Arizona mountains.
He has been on numerous trips, both solo and with small groups,
and attended the 2013, fourteen and 15 Arizona expeditions.
Yeah, the people that investigate this stuff are
really dedicated. That's, I mean, I really have a
lot of respect for how they handle this whole these
sightings and stuff and they just just, they really do a
thorough job. This sighting was submitted on
February 20th, 2007 since it actually occurred February 1st,
2007 under type late afternoon Rd. crossing sighting by
motorists West of Springerville, of course, would be Arizona.
This happened also in Apache County location details near a
site where a new bridge is being constructed close to where a
Forest Rd. intersects a little bridge a little beyond the
bridge nearest town, Vernon and Springfield, Arizona nearest Rd.
US Hwy. 60 observed. Although I had some memorable
Class B encounters, this Class A sightings 1 idle treasure
forever. On February 1st, 2007, I drove
my husband to show Low AZ to drop him off for a 10 day visit
with friends. The weather was bad that day and
continued to worsen, so I decided not to take my usual
route back to New Mexico through the White Mountain Apache
Reservation. Instead, I took USI took US Hwy.
6, which runs between Show Low and Springerville, Arizona.
After passing the small town of Vernon, the train transitions
from juniper trees to mostly rolling grassy hills.
Having learned defensive driving techniques for Elk County, I
kept alert to any movement in my peripheral vision.
Something caught my attention on the left side of the road
prompted me to break in anticipation of an animal such
as an elkadir or pronghorn. However, what I saw made me stop
and pay close attention. It was bipedal and running
directly toward the road. I slowed down quickly and
watched in amazement as the creature placed one hand on AT
post. That's a metal post used in
barbed wire fencing. Vaulted over the fence with
little effort and continued running across the two lane
blacktop road and maybe 2 full strides, then disappeared in a
narrow Canyon and out of sight. Wow.
I pulled to the side of the road and called my husband.
He couldn't believe what I was describing.
He suggested I get out of the car to look for tracks, hair, or
other evidence. However, I firmly refused.
I was alone, unarmed, and unwilling to encounter something
that large in such an isolated area.
In the two hours I've been on the road, I had seen fewer cars
than I could count on one hand. The creature had dark brown,
longish hair and stood close to 7 feet tall or more.
I never got a full view of its face.
It didn't appear to be scared or in a rush, but moved with a
steady loping jog. The weather was cold and heavily
overcast with intermittent precipitation throughout the
day. There was no standing snow.
The sighting occurred around 3:30 to 4:00 PM.
There were no other witnesses. I was alone, driving cautiously
due to animal activity and poor road conditions, says Other
stories. In October 2006, there was
another Class A sighting in the afternoon, the Highway 61,
roughly 5 to 10 miles from the location of this encounter
course. The time was 3:30 to 4:00 PM.
Heavy clouds, intermittent precipitation, no standing snow
environment, rolling grassy hills with occasional narrow
slot canyons. The creature disappeared into a
slot Canyon near the bridge construction site.
Sounds like it's got plenty of places to hide.
A follow up investigation, BFR investigator TF Zaminsky says.
I spoke with the witness on the phone and the following
additional details were provided.
The creature leaped the fence using the right hand on the T
post, curling its legs up and to the left to clear the fence
across the road in two or three strides, approximately 20 to 30
yards in front of her vehicle. She described the creature as
having dark brown hair approximately 48 inches long.
It seemed unconcerned about her approaching vehicle, didn't look
in her direction, and appeared to be focused on reaching its
destination. The creature was lost from view
as it disappeared into a narrow Canyon.
This location is near the road crossing reported and report
16580, which occurred October 2006 near Concho, Arizona.
The witness also mentioned prior Class B activity during a
camping trip South of Payson to the southern Massatal Mountains.
Around 1990 or 91 at night, she and her group heard repeated
knocking sounds from different directions resembling rock on
rock, rock against tree and a limb against a tree.
It says. BFO Investigator Tim Zaminski is
is semi retired and has been an active investigator since 2005.
He participated in the 2006 Arizona Wisconsin Expeditions
and helped organize the 2000 and eight 2920 eleven, 12 and 15
Arizona Expeditions, as well as 2011 New Mexico Expedition.
These guys are really dedicated. It's amazing.
Take a look at this next one here.
This one was reported May 17th, 2004.
It looks like it actually happened back on November 7th,
1981. Says type of sighting.
Morning sighting in the Luca Chuca Mountains of northeast
Arizona. Like I said, November 7th was a
sighting. Apache County location details
southwest of Cove, Arizona in the Luca Chuca Mountain range,
approximately 8 to 10 miles up a winding Forest Rd. to the top of
the mountain nearest town, Cove Mountain Highway 33 observed.
It was the first day of the 1981 Navajo deer season.
I had haunted in the Lukachuke Mountains for years as a
teenager with my brother T, Uncle, DJ and cousins.
At the time I was 20 years old. On November 7th, 1981, around
7:00 AM our hunting crew reached the top of the mountain
southwest of Cove, Arizona. The weather was cold with
shifting fog and frozen ground from the drizzle the night
before. 2 of my cousins and I plan to walk along the upper
mountain Ridge which arcs to the northwest.
I packed my day pack, loaded my rifle, and begin following them.
By then my cousins had already gone ahead on a well used trail
that rounded a hill to a saddle dividing the mountain range.
Wanting to catch up, I decided to climb over the hill rather
than follow the trail. As I reached the top and began
descending to the other side, I stopped and called out my
cousins names to locate them. Suddenly I heard the crashing of
oak brush below me 40 to 50 yards to my left.
To my shock I saw something walk downhill on two legs.
The oak brush reached about armpit height on the creature.
At that moment an intense smell hit me.
Musky, wet and indescribably foul, I was stunned.
The thoughts of shooting it briefly crossed my mind as I
looked at it through my rifle scope, but it moved too much
like a human. I couldn't bring myself to pull
the trigger. I watched the creature walk down
to a larger trail below, approximately 70 to 80 yards
away, and disappeared into the forest.
I quickly descended the hill and made my way toward the Forest
Rd. We had driven up, sticking to
the road until I reached our meeting area at the northwest
end of the Ridge. I believe the creature may have
followed me. As I walked along the road, I
could hear movement and the oak brush nearby to scare off
whatever was following me. I fired a single shot.
What I saw that day was a very large, black, hairy being that
walked upright in two legs. Its upper body was broad and
muscular and its hair appeared coarse.
The smell was terrible. I'm certain that what I
encountered was a Bigfoot under also notice it says as a
creature walked downhill. I tried to look in my direction
but didn't turn far enough for me to see his face.
The oak brush was two to three feet taller than my head and I
am 5 foot 10. Afterward, I heard of two other
sightings Northwest of Cove. Time approximately 7:00 AM
conditions daylight morning with shifting fog and frozen ground.
Pine trees and oak brush along a mountainside, says follow up
investigation by TF Sieminsky. I spoke with the witness over
the phone and can provide the following additional details.
The animal's coat was longer than fur and appeared coarse and
wet. The brush where the animal
passed was taller than the witness, who was 5 foot 10.
He estimates the creature may have been 8 feet tall and very
muscular. The witness had a clearview of
the animal as it passed from left to right while he looked
downhill. The siding lasted about 30
seconds as the animal moved quickly through the brush.
Later that day, the witness returned with his hunting
companions to show them the location of the sighting.
The witness has haunted in this area many times and now carries
a camera when he hunts. Yeah, hopefully he can get some
pictures of these things. We'll go ahead and do three more
of these. This one says it was submitted
October 12th, 2000. Actually happened back in July
of 1977. Daylight sighting reported by an
ex by an ex soldier. It says happened in Cochise
County, Arizona, like I said, July of 1977.
Location details about 10 to 15 minutes northwest of the town of
Benson on Hwy. 10 across from a white ranch house with a road
leading down to the highway nearest town.
Benson nearest Rd. Highway 10.
In the summer of 1977 I was in the US Army stationed at Fort
Huachuca, Arizona. During this period of military
career I was assigned to the Post Drill team.
As part of our duties that we participated in parades, special
ceremonies and military funerals.
Fort Huachuca is approximately 70 miles South of Tucson.
I remember it was a Saturday morning in July.
We had to attend a funeral in a small Arizona town.
I don't recall the name of the town, but it was a beautiful,
clear day with no clouds in the sky.
If you know anything about Arizona, it's desert and on a
clear day you can see it for miles.
We boarded a military bus and began our trip.
Right outside the Fort Huachuca Gate is a small military town
called Sierra Vista. There is a main road from Sierra
Vista that leads to Hwy. 10, a major highway that runs through
Arizona. It takes about 15 to 20 minutes
to reach Highway 10 from Sierra Vista.
After getting onto Highway 10, we turned right heading north.
About 10 or 15 minutes later, the bus started jerking.
The driver pulled over and we stopped on the side of the road.
Everyone got off the bus except me.
I was sitting on the left side of the bus, the driver's side,
looking out the window at the passing traffic.
On the far side of the road, I noticed a large White House with
a road leading away from it. This is significant because I
believe that the house is still there.
It seemed like some kind of a ranch.
While I was sitting there, an 18 Wheeler passed by on the far
side of the road heading South. Just as it passed I saw
something coming from the gully on the far side of the road.
At first I wasn't sure what I was seeing.
My mind initially thought it might be a bear, but as a figure
continued up the embankment I realized it was walking on two
feet. A second thought was, is that a
gorilla? That creature was dark tan with
long hair and you could clearly see its muscular build and long
flowing arms. As it climbed the embankment it
turned its head and it felt like time stopped.
When I saw its face I could tell it had human like features.
It's hard to explain, but it looked like a big hairy man.
The expression on his face showed fear, as though it was
frightened. The creature kept looking back
while running and I could see his chest when it turned toward
the highway. I believe the sound of the 18
Wheeler scared it. I sat there for about 45 seconds
watching it run up the road leading from the White House.
Its speed and long strides were incredible.
Despite the heat, it ran effortlessly.
Eventually, it turned off the road into the desert and
disappeared. None of my friends saw the
creature because they were playing around the other side of
the bus. For the rest of the day, I
couldn't think about anything else.
Later that night, when I had time to think more clearly, I
reflected on the event. After thinking about the
sighting, I concluded that the creature must have come down to
the road out of curiosity. However, the sound of the 18
Wheeler likely scared it, prompting it to flee at full
speed. It's tan collar blended well
with the desert, making it easy to miss unless someone looked
directly at it. I believe this creature is
intelligent and has likely learned how to avoid detection.
It can probably approach humans closely without being noticed.
Shooting such a creature would be difficult.
It has human like features that make it feel almost like murder.
I estimated it stood over 6 feet tall and weighed at least £300.
It's powerful build was striking with a with broad shoulders,
visible muscles in the arm and strong legs.
I feel sorry for the creature, imagining it lives a solitary
life. Despite this, it seems to enjoy
its freedom and reigns over its domain.
I believe proof of its existence will eventually surface given
humanity's expansion and its curiosity since times and
conditions around midday, clear skies extremely hot, typical of
Arizona in July. Visible visibility was excellent
and you could see it for miles. Environment Arizona Desert.
Across the highway was a large White House with the road
leading from it. It appeared to be a ranch.
Follow up investigation reported by investigator Richard Huckle
Bridge. The witness was very descriptive
and convincing. I believe he generally observed
a Bigfoot. He reported seeing a creature
about 50 feet away when it emerged from a culvert under a
highway. It proceeded N across the
highway and into the desert. The witness described its man
like face and powerful build. He also mentioned that it's
reaction to the 8 Wheeler indicated fear.
Despite years having passed, the witness was still shaken by the
experience. He reported the incident
reluctantly, fearing disbelief or ridicule.
However, he seemed relieved to share his story with someone who
took it seriously. Cool.
The state was sleeping in a culvert.
Maybe just kind of escaping the heat, taking a little nap or
something. I wonder.
OK, we'll do two more. This one was submitted January
15th, 2004. Looks like it actually happened
in July of 1983. Happened in Cucaneno county,
Arizona. Location details.
We had a Labrador retriever. He was not very sharp but was
unafraid of anything and wanted to follow me everywhere.
On these occasions, however, I find him at the back of the tent
shivering with fright. He refused to leave the tent and
fought me to stay inside. Wow.
Nearest town Sedona and Flagstaff, nearest road 89 A
observed my family at the time was very much in the camping.
To this day I still hunt and fish whenever the opportunity
presents itself. We camp somewhere in the Oak
Creek Canyon, Slide Rock area along the river.
As usual, I wanted off on my own to fish.
I was fishing on the bank with the force behind me, heavily
wooded and filled with dense underbrush.
Suddenly I heard footsteps, heavy thumping steps.
Not typical human or animal ones.
When I turned around to look, I saw nothing, and then the sound
stopped. I shrugged it off and resumed
fishing, but then I heard thumping again.
This time when I looked, it stopped again, but I heard
heavy, deep breathing. Terrified, I flattened my back
against a tree, trying to peer around it while staying still.
I was only 13 at the time. For about 20 minutes I stayed
motionless, my back pressed flat against the tree, searching for
the sound of the noise. I kept hearing the thumping
steps and occasional breathing. It felt so close.
Finally the sound stopped and I regained some courage.
I brushed it off as my imagination as I resumed
fishing, but I couldn't shake the feeling of being watched.
Then I heard the thumping again, along with the breathing, and
this time I saw it. A shadow in the dark woods.
It was unmistakable, a dark brown or black figure with
shaggy 3 inch long fur. It was six to seven feet tall
and about 35 to 40 feet away. As soon as I saw it, it moved
away at an angle and disappeared into the thick woods.
Other witnesses, our Labrador retriever, who was typically
fearless and follow me everywhere, behaved unusually.
He was untrained and often a handful, but never frightened.
However, on several occasions, once during the day and several
times at night, I found him shivering uncontrollably at the
back of the tent. He refused to come out and
actively resisted when I tried to make him leave.
Time and condition Mid to late afternoon force with dense
undergrowth. In the follow up investigation,
it says during an interview, the witness provided the following
details. The encounter was brief but very
close. The animal was in view for about
3 to 4 seconds. The animal had a lighter
coloration around his face. It walked bipedally with
slightly bent knees, moving smoothly and quickly.
The witness believes the animal was aware of his presence but
was not threatened. It clearly was not a human or
bear. The witness described it as more
slender than the creature in the Fame, the Patterson Gimlin film,
estimating its weight at around 400 lbs.
They had a human like nose. While the witness was hearing
footsteps and breathing behind him, two or three other people
walked by. During this time, the breathing
and stepping noises momentarily ceased.
Yeah, that's pretty wild. OK, we'll do one more here.
OK, so this last one here, I hope you've enjoyed the show
today. If you have, don't forget to hit
the like follow subscribe button.
Doesn't cost anything and it really does help out the
algorithm. This one says the sighting
actually happened in the summer of 1992 August.
It was reported October 29th, 2013.
Memory told of a daylight sighting and parallel chase in
the Gila River bottoms while riding horseback.
Location Details This is Maricopa County.
It was north of a farm on the north side of Watermelon Rd.
which ended with a riverbed. Starts nearest town Gila Bend
nearest Rd. Watermelon Rd. observed this
happened in Gila Bend, Arizona. My sister and her friend went
horseback riding down to the river bottom just north of the
farm we lived on. I decided to ride out and meet
them, so I took one of our gentle horses that never got
excited, jumped on him bareback and set off.
My parents, two dogs and Rottweilers came along with me.
When I reached the North End of the farm, I turned W to ride
parallel with the Gila River. There was a barbed wire fence
between me and the river bottom which was overgrown with salt
cedar trees. A cement ditch run along the
other side of the road leading to a large sump filled with farm
runoff water. As we approached an opening in
the fence, the dog started sniffing the air and acting
excited while the horse grew noticeably antsy.
I assumed they were reacting to the scent of my sister's horses
nearby. Suddenly the horse stopped and
reared slightly and began to panic.
When I looked around, I saw the dogs running back through the
field toward my parents house. I then heard something and
looked toward the trees. Standing behind a tree and
looking straight at me was what I initially thought was a
gorilla. Then I stepped out from behind
the tree into full view. It was very tall, the top of the
fence didn't even reach its leg, and it was covered from head to
toe and long matted brown hair with salt cedar branches tangled
in it. It stood there looking at me
with a curious expression. I held the horse as long as I
could, trying to comprehend what I was seeing, but I was riding
bareback and knew I couldn't stay on much longer.
Eventually I let the horse take off running toward the road
leading back to the house. We had to run about 1/4 of a
mile along the river. The horse was at full gallop,
yet this creature seemed to keep up, running on two legs through
the salt Cedars parallel to us. When we reached the road and
turned toward the house, I looked back.
It was standing there watching us.
I rode home as fast as I could and told my dad and brother, who
laughed at me and said I was imagining things.
However, they drove to the river bottom to look for my sister and
her friend. They didn't see anything
unusual. When my sister and her friend
returned, they said their horses had acted scared while coming
out of the river, but that they hadn't seen anything.
A few years later my dad and uncle found a strange set of
large barefoot tracks with what appeared to be claws in the mud
near the same location. My dad and uncle discovered
large primate like tracks with claws years later near the area.
Other witnesses, none. Other stories.
Yes. I was told a few years later
that two kids had gone to the river and returned scared,
claiming a gorilla had chased them in the river bottom.
I didn't know them and I had never told anyone outside my
family about what I saw because I didn't want to be teased.
I still prefer to remain anonymous.
Wow. It says time and conditions,
late afternoon or early evening environment, dry river bottom
covered salt cedar trees. Investigation follow up, it says
done by TF Szyminski. I spoke with the witness by
phone. Although this event occurred in
1992, she recalls it clearly due to how stressful it was.
Additional details include she estimated the distance from her
position to the creature beyond the fence to be about 50 feet.
That's close. Regarding the curious look on
his face, she clarified that it was not a threatening
expression. However, her focus is primarily
on trying to control her horse. Her initial thought when she saw
the creature was that it was a gorilla staring at her, and when
it stepped into full view, it was evident that it was not a
gorilla but a very large biped. His face was flat and human
like, not gorilla like. The animal's hair was dark brown
and matted. The incident seemed to last
several minutes, though it was difficult to gauge the time
while trying to control the horse.
Seeing the creature step out in full view, noticing the branches
tangled in its matted hair and realizing it was running
parallel to her galloping horse indicated the encounter.
It was more than a fleeting moment.
She was surprised by how the animal moved quickly through the
brush. I found this to be a credible
daylight sighting. Yeah, definitely.
Some great Bigfoot reports out of Arizona.
Very fun stuff. They're learning about Sasquatch
living in that desert environment.
Until next time, this is UFO warning over now.
