The following report comes from our friend Richard. The sighting of a possible bigfoot took place around the end of January 2019. The sighting happened near the Whipple community. Whipple is a small area within Bell county.  Of course, being in this part of Kentucky, it is surrounded by mountains.

One thing you need to realize is that in this area all of our communities have numerous old mining roads, logging roads and trails around them. These are sometimes used for riding ATV or motorcycles, hiking or horseback riding. Some are used often while others are rarely used at all. Another thing to note is that some of these places have official names, while others don't. Sometimes the locals have a name for a certain area but that is not the official name. This makes it very hard and sometimes impossible to find on google maps.

This general area of Kentucky has had a fair number of bigfoot sightings. I have documented numerous reports over the years.

Here is the report from Richard.

"I know they (bigfoot) are shy from what I've read but I believe I saw one on Pathfork trail where a mine is currently in operation. (This is near the Whipple community)

It was close to the wood line beside a field. It was crouched when my headlights hit it. I would say it was a good 80 yards or more from me. It stood up and it had to be close to 7 or 8 feet tall.
When it stood up and it kinda walked in the woods and this was round 4 or 5 in the morning."

TM: When did this happen?
R: About 3 or 4 weeks back when we had a bit of a heavy snow hit. (This would place it around the end of Jan. or First of  Feb.


TM: What color was it?

R: I'd say black to really dark brown. I just know it wasn't a bear cause I'm about 98% sure I saw the arms and considering I drove around the field to the treeline, and then around the ridge. I hit it with a spotlight trying to get a better view but barely could see from the angle I was at.


TM: Did you see any tracks?
R: No like I said he was in the field I was on the trail

Thanks to Richard for the report. I know the area, he was in, pretty good. It is much like my side of the mountain: Lots of forest, water, deer and more. In other words, it has everything a bigfoot would need to survive. 


Thanks
