I spoke with the ten-year old witness by phone and her excitement and fear seemed
very sincere. She had gone camping with her friends and they went out turkey
hunting one afternoon in the summer of 2011. Around 3 PM, she stepped through
some brush as her friend was conducting turkey calls and froze as she saw a
large black creature 25-30 feet away. Her friend Dustin also saw the creature.
She estimates the creature to have been approximately 8 feet tall and it walked
upright in a slightly crouched position with long arms swinging as it moved
toward a turkey. It stepped from behind one tree, walked approximately 6 feet,
and stepped behind another tree making no sound. She could see muscles moving
under the skin and described the face as having black skin with a square shape.
There was no odor from the creature and it did not seem to notice her as it
was focusing on the turkey. The encounter lasted less than 60 seconds as both
witnesses were terrified and ran back to camp to find their friends. The camp
was near a creek with abundant fish in the deep woods in Douglas County, MO.
The campsite had a great deal of food sitting out, but there was no activity
at the campsite during that trip.

Please describe your encounter:
Classmate Vicky xxxx had come home from school with me to collect and identify
various tree leaves for a class project. We were in the 3rd. grade, I was 8
yrs. old. We rode together on my bike to Wolfe cemetary less than a mile from
my house to collect the leaves. After being there for probably 30 min. or more,
I was walking towards a particular tree that stood at the edge of some dense
underbrush that formed a western border of the cemetary when I heard a rustle
in the brush coming from the exact spot where I was headed. I stopped, maybe
15 ft. from my goal, as a large creature crawled out of the brush and stood
up. It seemed as shocked to see me as I it and for a moment we both stood there
staring at each other before I screamed and ran. My friend and I (both still
screaming) jumped on the bike and went home as fast as we could. I don't recall
any particular smell but do remember gauging it's size by how tall my father
was (5' 10'/11") and it was somewhat taller. I somehow got the impression
stuck in my head that it was a young male. At no time did I feel threatened
or afraid, simply shocked at seeing something I hadn't known existed.
Describe the creature with detail:
This sasquatch was probably a bit over 6' and was covered with "silky"
fine dark brown hair that was about 6-8" long. I remember seeing it blowing
slightly in the breeze. We made and held eye contact for several seconds and
its face - especially the eyes - were VERY human even in expression, with the
only difference being the presence of hair -- like a man who had never shaved.
I don't recall any aspect of this creature that was ape-like or resembling anything
other than human. In fact, I remember thinking that his hair and mine would
be a perfect match. Everyone tried to tell me that it had been a bear or excaped
gorilla -- fat chance -- I argued them down with facts each time until they
stopped offering explanations or anything else. They finally chalked it down
to me wanting attention --- but what about my friend that saw it too ???
Any additional Info?
Since this incident, I did on 3 occasions hear them "call" in the
area and have sensed their presence in other areas. I'm sure many neighbors
had stories but the only ones I heard first hand are related here. One lady,
Jessie xxxx, a friend of the family, related a story that she had been picking
berries along the gravel road that leads into her farm. Across from this road
was a dense forrested area that connected to a larger section of woods. One
morning as she was picking berries in the fence-row something in the woods behind
her was watching and keeping pace with her, she could hear it take steps in
the brush whenever she would move. Being fearfull, she quickly picked berries
in the direction of her house until reaching the end of the fence-row where
she turned and forced herself to walk to the house as tho nothing was wrong.
She was afraid that if she ran whatever it was would chase her. Another neighbor
kept coon hounds chained in his backyard on the edge of a wooded area. One night
all his dogs were out hunting with his sons, but one that remained tied. At
a late hour he heard the dog barking and yelled out the door; the dog was quiet
then immediately started barking again. This time the man noticed the bark was
different. As he was preparing to go out to have a look the dog stopped in mid
bark. Satisfied and sleepy he went to bed but the next morning when he went
to feed the dog it was missing it's head -- collar still tied to the tree. He
said he finally found the head some great distance away in the woods. The community
turned his story into a joke of sorts, well something finally sobered him up.

I spoke to Paddy over the phone. She was walking towards some thick bushes with
the intention of collecting leaves for her class project. When she was about
15 feet away she heard rustling in the bushes and watched this hairy creature
crawl out on its belly, “like you would see someone crawl under a barbed
wire fence.” It stood straight up facing her. They made direct eye contact.
It looked shocked to see her. Paddy said, “If he could have spoken he
would have said oh shit!” The eyes were dark brown and very human-like
in both size and shape. The skin seemed to be soft human skin, “like someone
with a tan, not thick and leathery.” The hair looked to be fine and silky,
not course. The hair on face wasn’t as long as on the rest of the body.
The rest of the facial features were all human-like: thin lips, fine nose--not
a broad nose like some are depicted. It seemed frozen when they made eye contact.
The head was rounded. It looked like a big person, not a gorilla The hair was
dark brown and averged about 6 inches in length, except on the face. It looked
very muscular, with shoulders wider than a normal man’s. Paddy believes
it was a young male, possibly seeing some gentiles, but can’t quite remember.
The hands were very human, even though it had dark hair on it. Witness said
when the 1967 Patterson footage came out, she realized “that’s it,
that’s what I saw.” It had a short muscular neck, but with all the
hair it looked like it had no neck. Most of the area where this took place was
known as “little woods”, which connected to the “big woods”
which contains plenty of wilderness for these things to live. This location
was at a cemetery which was close to where the witness lived. Paddy and her
friend (the other witness) were told never to talk about this incident again
and Paddy has since lost contact with her friend. Paddy seemed very sincere
and credible.

Hello Bart,
I read your 2007 Bigfoot article about the Cherokee man with the large tooth
in Kentucky. I can relate to him not wanting to prove a point or position with
the doubting general public, but at the same time I want folks to know they
are a living, thinking blood and flesh individuals that run in family groups
and clans much like my ancestors did.
My mother is over half Cherokee Indian and I am a Cherokee Nation of Oklahoma
tribal member. I know precisely what the white man's culture and thinking can
do to things they care to learn or understand.
I was blessed with meeting with a family group of "Forest People"
several weeks ago. My guide was a Cherokee Medicine woman named Arla. She closely
interacts with this clan who roams and lives on her land.
I have written a story you are welcome to post on your Kentucky Bigfoot site.
I attached it to this email along with an audio file I took during the up close
and personal meeting. They did not want any pictures, but allowed me to run
my mini cam in my pocket. I do have several other photos of them I may share
later.
I grow tired of the back biting, back stabbing ways of the many Bigfoot groups
all wanting to out do the other! Can't we all work together for one common goal?
The audio is two parts. The second captures a large male in the group giving
an Owl call. The two are of another human researcher and you can clearly hear
the difference in tone and how they carry in the woods
Have a great day!
Midnight Owl...... the name they actually gave me!
MIDNIGHT RENDEVOUS WITH BIGFOOT (His Story)
“No night vision or video unless I tell
you so” my guide instructed as we neared the tree line located just beyond
the cattle fence. She softly began to call out as we leaned on the cross members
of the fence and I began to hear subtle foot steps in the thick brush. They
started out at some distance, but steadily moved toward us from three separate
directions.
This was a very remote, private land area. The
chances of someone, let alone multiple folks just hanging out in the darkened
forest of central Oklahoma without any lights around midnight were few and far
between. My heart began to beat harder sensing the possibility of a close encounter,
which I had methodically sought for a number of years.
“Can I really go through with this”
were my thoughts as an aching pit formed in my stomach. It was very similar
to the feelings I had years ago climbing the stairs to ride the Texas Cyclone
roller coaster at Astro World USA.
“Do you want to go inside” the guide
asked, strolling over to the game fence gate. Not wanting to wimp out now in
front of a woman, I acknowledged a tentative yes. Being completely open and
vulnerable was not something my male persona could easily accept. I was stepping
out of a comfort zone of my world right into the middle of theirs! I followed
closely behind the guide almost like an apprehensive little child seeking assurance
that everything will be alright.
We made our way through the gate and back down
a narrow path which was dimly lit by the moon beams filtering through the thick
canopy of foliage. I could hear stirring here and there on both side of us,
but couldn’t clearly see what was making it as we deliberately moved along
the trail. We eventually turned off into a side clearing and my guide began
speaking to them very softly, calling some by name. More movement and noise
sounded.
I won’t go into the multitude of details
regarding the unexpected conversation I then had with a third party standing
by in the thick brush. Unless you have experienced this, it would be fruitless
to try and convey the scenario unfolding in a way an uninformed person would
understand. In short, I had a brief conversation with one of them and will leave
it at that!
What was happening to me at this point I knew
was extremely rare! It was extremely profound and literally brought tears to
my eyes with the flood of emotions exploding within me! This was not a brief
or momentary encounter with some large hairy thing crossing the roadway in front
of me! This was a very deliberate and close up encounter with a being that had
cognizant thinking and intelligence. My fear and apprehensions quickly vanished
as they began to share with me. I then realized just how close they really are
to us in the creator’s master plan.
I was then instructed by them to move away from
the guide, which had been my security blanket up to now. Call it a test or whatever,
but I instantly complied.
Just then about 30 feet away from me to the
east, a huge 8-9 foot hairy figure stepped between two large trees into a cleared
area fully illuminated by the bright moon light. It then began to sway, staring
at me. It was the typical shape and build of the common Bigfoot sketches and
drawings.
“I can see it, it is swaying from side
to side!” I exclaimed to my guide. “Sway with it” she replied,
which I immediately did.
At that point I began to sway and another smaller
Bigfoot figure rose up from the brush about 15 feet directly in front of me!
Then another one off to its right about the same size with a smaller figure
sitting at its feet I assumed was a toddler. They both intently stared at me,
occasionally looking back at what I assume was their parent standing between
the trees.
The babblings and exclamations began to flow
from my mouth to the guide as my mind tried to fully comprehend what was happening
here was very real and tangible! This was a family group which trusted me enough
to expose even their young to my presence! I felt the little ones were examining
me just as closely as I was reviewing at them! “I can’t believe
it!” I exclaimed with tears flowing down my cheeks. “This is really
happening to me!” I never felt any threat or animosity from them. They
were peacefully holding their positions, giving me a sure clear look at them!
It was exactly what I had hoped would happen! A dream actually coming true right
before my eyes!
Just then another large one further back began
to call out mimicking a Barn Owl call. A very good call indeed, but much too
throaty and guttural to be a real owl. Quite appropriate for me since I was
now clearly seeing light that had been hidden in darkness and mystique until
now.
I asked and was allowed to capture the audio
portion of the experience with my video camera. It was too dark for any clear
pictures. Turning it on after receiving permission from the guide, I captured
most of these calls and some of my continued babblings.
I was totally overwhelmed at that point, feeling
my head literally spinning. My guide then asked if I wanted to touch one. My
emotions along with my blood pressure were sky high. I couldn’t stand
anymore at that point and asked her to lead me back out.
There will be some, possibly many who will doubt
my story. So be it, it is your choice, no harm done. Forget that you ever read
it!
To those of you who have been to this place,
you know precisely of what I speak! My intentions are pure and without malice
regarding these magnificent creatures of the forest! I am not seeking to exploit
them in any way which is why I had this up close and personal experience.
I have lost the fear of the unknown. I know
they are like us in many, many ways! Living in family groups and clans wanting
nothing but to be left alone and to live their life in safety and security.
The forest was their home long before the white man came and claimed much of
it. They have lived the same way for thousands of years exclusively off the
land with no technical advancement. The only changes are they have to avoid
the white man for their existence to continue uninterrupted. Something they
do extremely well!
I truly feel blessed to have been there that
night and plan on having many more good times. My intentions are pure and without
malice.
My personal pledge to them is this, I will do
them no harm, nor will I exploit or market them in any way! That is my vow for
taking me into their circle of confidence! I look forward to many more good
times with my “Big Brothers“ of the forest!
God bless us all….

Which county? Claiborne County, TN

What city, or nearest city? Claiborne County (Lone Mountain)
Length of time the encounter lasted: 5 seconds
How many witnesses? 2
Please describe your encounter: I was driving home last night
with my teenage sons on Lone Mountain in New Tazewell, TN. As we approached
a curve near Lone Mountain Shores, we saw something ahead in the road. I slowed
down a bit and it ran across the road in front of us. It was clearly not a dog
or horse. It was almost human in shape however it had a shiny black coat, tremendously
long arms and was slender so it did not in any way resemble a bear either. As
I turned the corner, the figure, which was on the left side of me still in the
road, stood up on it's hind legs, facing me. I cannot confirm it's height except
to say that it was taller than my Plymouth Voyager. My 17 year old son saw the
exact same thing as I have described...both of us are still dumbfounded this
morning...This was unlike anything we have ever seen.
Describe the creature with detail: No less than 6 feet tall;
tremendously long arms; shiny black coat (I say this because of the glare and
shine that it's coat put off when my headlights were shining on it); Slender;
It ran hunched over; When it stood up, it's stance was human-like however it's
arms extended much longer than human arms, approximately to the knee of the
creature.
FOLLOW-UP
REPORT 11/7/10
I spoke to the witness at great length over the phone. I could hear the excitement
in her voice, as this encounter just happened the night before. I found her
to be very credible and sincere. She said it was about 15' in front of the car.
She stressed that is was completely covered in dark, shinny, short, black hair.
The arms where "extremely" long. It walked hunched over as it crossed
the road, then stood straight up and faced her in the next lane as she passed
it. Because it towered above her vehicle and since it was no longer in her headlights,
she could not see the face, hands or feet. She did stress that it was human-shaped,
meaning it "had a waist and broad shoulders". The head seemed more
rounded, instead of pointed. The complete encounter happen very quickly, in
about 5 seconds.
"This was the true view from my perspective. The creature came from the
right, hunched over and running across the road.
It turned in the lane next to me and came about 4 feet or so parallel to me...this
is when I approached it to the side and it
stood up in the lane to the left facing me. " - Amanda
