Alabama Bigfoot
DATE: 03/01/00
TIME: 6:00 pm
LOCATION: Shelby County, Alabama
TERRAIN: Wooded
OBSERVED: I was walking back from a long hike, and the sun was going down, and was on a trail right along the bank of the Cahaba River - this whole area is no longer very private or wooded anymore with commercial and residential development having taken over in the last 15 years - and my dog stopped in his tracks and started whimpering, and I looked up the path and I saw what looked like a large man cross the path, and then I heard a "splash" where whatever it was would have gone into the shallow river. I walked closer and there was nothing to be found, but I saw right along the muddy river bank a HUGE footprint. With toes. I have no idea what it was, but people think I am crazy when I tell that story, and I just found this web site to post it!
Additional Info: My dog could still smell something distinct where we saw the footprint because he was going crazy sniffing around the trees and path where the creature had crossed.
Activities of Witness: Hiking along the Cahaba River.
Description of Creature: Tall, dark grey/black hair, and moved very quickly
Other Notes: There had been talk that there was a coyote problem or even a wild cat problem in the area, because people in the area had complained about their cats or other small pets missing.

Arkansas Bigfoot
DATE: 10/17/09
TIME: 11:17 p.m.
LOCATION: Sevier County, Arkansas
TERRAIN: Wooded
OBSERVED: I was out on my property with my brother and friend and we went out to this ditch where we dumped dead pigs, cows, horses, etc. We were in my brothers truck and as we drove around the corner and our headlights flooded the valley we saw eyeshine in the tree line so we backed up and we saw this big creature standing there holding part of a pig or cow and it just stared at us then we put it in reverse and started backing up quickly to get a better look as we saw it turn and run into the woods. I grew up around here, hunting and I've never seen this creature or anything like it before.
Additional Info: The following day we went out to make sure we saw what we saw and there was a branch about 2 or 3 inches thick twisted around the limb, tracks that were about 17 or 18 inches long, and some hair that we couldn't tell what it came from.
Activities of Witness: We were hanging around the house and were bored because there was nothing to do, so we went for a drive. We were completely sober if that's what this question is asking
Description of Creature: It was about 7 maybe 8 feet tall, it had defined shoulders, and a round head that was free of hair on the face, and huge hands that wrapped around what it held also free of hair, black hair, its eyes shined reflecting light, and it stood upright on two feet and ran the same way

Mississippi Bigfoot
DATE: 06/21/75
TIME: 8:30 pm
LOCATION: Jackson County, Mississippi
TERRAIN: Wooded
OBSERVED: Around 8 at night I was home alone in our Trailer. The trailer was approximately 42 inches off the ground with a small deck on the front of the trailer. I heard a noise outside of the trailer and looked out through the window in the door and standing beside our 30 foot pine tree which was about ten feet in circumference was a dark shadow which was eye to eye with me. This creature had to be around 10 feet tall and had red amber eyes. It seemed to make a growling noise which scared me to death. I grabbed our shotgun and quickly loaded it with buckshot. As I returned to the door it was gone. I then called my cousin whom lived two roads behind me and begged her to come to the house and leave the car running. We then traveled to her trailer and within a short period of time the Jackson County Sheriffs Department came and took a statement. A little while after the sheriff left we were at my cousins trailer when the growling was outside of her trailer. After a short period I grabbed the gun and went outside to never hear or see it again. I know it was 10 feet tall and I know it followed me. i was too embarrassed for I thought no one would believe me.
Additional Info: N/A
Activities of Witness: at home resting
Description of Creature: 10 feet tall with shoulders at least 5 feet wide. Red amber eyes and a growl that was deep.

North Carolina Bigfoot
DATE: 3/10/2012
TIME: 10:30 pm
LOCATION: Rutherford County, North Carolina
TERRAIN: Wooded
OBSERVED: Heard 3 very loud screeches followed by dogs barking...saw nothing! Did not sound like anything I've ever heard before. It was hair-raising! About 4 days later mid-morning I heard two long mournful howls across our street on a hill where deer (group of 5) often feed. I was just getting dressed after a shower and hurried to finish and went out on front porch where a family member was rocking in a chair and reading a book. I asked her if she heard the howls and she said no, but she did hear branches being walked on and breaking and saw brown fur retreating out of sight. She assumed it was our usual deer ( group of 5) and continued reading. She is hard of hearing and did not hear the howls but did hear the branch-breaking sounds.
A few days later as I got up one morning about 8 am, I heard one wood knock on the empty wooded lot next to our home. There is a creek on that lot at the bottom of the hill which dead ends into a cul-de-sac. Western NC has had many sightings.
Additional things: Deer cross our property all the time and if it was a Bigfoot I heard, the scent of deer must be prominent. Since then, I haven't seen our deer, but that does not mean anything if I don't happen to be looking out the window when they cross. But, it could also mean that the scent of a Bigfoot lingers there and they avoid the area now. I think I hope to really see one but then again, it is scary!
Additional Info: N/A
Activities of Witness: on porch reading
Description of Creature: Patch of brown fur retreating...assumed it was a deer but didn't see enough of it to be sure. Sitting on front porch at time reading around 9:30 am
Other Notes: I have gone on internet to listen to sounds of bigfoot and the screeches and howls are there to listen to...if they are genuine
Other (Informational or Encounter History in the General Area) Notes: after first sounds of three screeches, a few days later two howls, branches snapping on floor of woods, something with brown fur retreating
Additional Notes and or Follow up Comments: Two other incidents same day I emailed you....First one March 27 about 6:30 pm. I was on porch again and across the street and up to the right I heard something hard to describe. So later I went on line to You Tube about Bigfoot sounds and found one that matched perfectly but the one I heard across the street was so much louder because of being so close. The You Tube video was labeled "Was that a roar, you decide" by "timbergiantbigfoot" and tho it lasted over three minutes you hear the roar withing the first 15 seconds and another not quite as loud soon after. That's what I heard.
Later that same evening after dark around 9 pm, for the heck of it, I went out on porch again and listened for sounds again. The sound came from the same place but was very very different and much softer. I'd describe it as a combo of gurgling, bubbling, babbling. It didn't last long at all. I am going back on You Tube today to see if any recordings of Bigfoot sounds match it.
I told my husband that,so far, the sounds sound like nothing I've ever heard, are brief, loud mostly and so hard to describe. He heard the three screeches the first time and had no explanation. We lived in the heart of the Adirondack mountains out in the woods by a pond for 13 years, so I recognize most animal sounds....bears, coyotes, wolves, screech owls, etc.

Pennsylvania Bigfoot
DATE: 08/11/11
TIME: 12:30 A.M.
LOCATION: Forest County, Pennsylvania
TERRAIN: Mountains
OBSERVED: At a young age I took an interest in Bigfoot. Ever since I have been trying to find the creature himself and up until very recently I had absolutely no luck. My family owns a camp in xxxxx, Pa. It has it's fair share of wilderness and forests. I figured since I hadn't had any luck around my house I would try up there because it is has far more woods. One weekend over the summer we (brother, dad, and I) went up to camp and set out on our mission. We decided to try a place called xxxxxxx first. It is one of the spookiest areas to be in up there. At night it's crazy! We stopped the car and got out and I did my vocalizations just like every other night I've went squatching and we didn't get anything back. We continued along and tried about 5 or 6 more spots. Still no luck...We were just about to throw in the towel in frustration before we saw this big drop off. It looked like a place where we could get sound to carry out very far. At this point, we we're pretty far back into this wilderness. Miles and Miles from the nearest campsite. Motivated to try one more time I got out of the car and produced my call. Nearly immediately after I finished a response came back at us. It sounded so identical to the sound I made we weren't really sure if it was just an echo. I called again. This time there was about a 10 second pause in between before we received a response. In this response the sound was alot louder and it sounded alot less human like. At this point I knew there was an animal out there and it was responding to my calls. We got in the car and drove back to where we thought it was coming from and called. It was like everything just shut up, no more responses. So we headed out to go to another road. A road that parallels xxxxxx. It is called Logging Road #xx. Once again we were skunked at about our first 5 stopping points. However, once we got to a point fairly deep in, about nearly as far in as what we figured to be equal with how far we went in on xxxxxxx, the action started up again! This time it was just one LOUD response. It couldn't have been more than a quarter mile away and then it set off a pack of coyotes who didn't want to quit howling so we decided to call it a night. The next night we went to another very spooky place called xxxxxxx. It's the highest point in the county. The road was blocked off so we tried some calls on our descent back down. At our second stop, I called and it only took a few seconds before we got some very loud distinct wood knocks! It was absolutely unnerving. We were forever away from the nearest civilization and in the middle of this pitch black silence something was just going HAM with wood knocks. It sounded PO'd by the rapid type knocks it was making so we got out of there. I truly don't know to this day what happened that weekend or why I actually had luck for once. Obviously, there was no visual observation of anything. What I do know is for once I didn't get skunked while squatching and the things we heard seem to match up with many many other encounters in the world. It has only drove my interest in the subject to a whole new level and I do plan to get up there to camp a lot more this summer. Do I think we were dealing with a squatch? Very Possible
Also; at xxxxxxx my brother got the same thing to respond to one of his calls to.
Additional Info: Brother and dad found some big indentations in the ground near the creek bed the next day. Didn't really have any distinct shape, but something big had been through that area.
Activities of Witness: Producing calls (Crescendo Type Whoop & Moan/Howl),
We also Call Blasted with a recording we made out of other bigfoot sounds but it didn't produce very good results.

Kansas Bigfoot
DATE: 1/2/12
TIME: 4:00 pm
LOCATION: Douglas County, Kansas
TERRAIN: Wooded
OBSERVED: I had decided to go for a walk on the folks road nature trail. It was about 3:00 pm so i figured i still had a couple of hours of daylight. So i drove there no one else was there at the time because it was pretty chilly. So i started hiking on the longer trail that went deeper into the woods when i heard what sounded like thump thump so i looked for a deer because i see them there all the time when i saw a big upright creature covered in black fur about 30 yards away in the tree's. At the time i didn't know what bigfoot was so i was wondering what the heck was in the woods and what thing grew so tall. It just froze and stared at me but after about 30 seconds took of deep into the woods where i couldn't see it. As soon as it was gone i ran all the way to my car and took of. As soon as i got home i went on the computer and researched it and found it to be the exact description of some bigfoot sightings.
Additional Info: I heard a couple of knocks a few weeks before there but just didn't pay attention to them
Activities of Witness: N/A
