Pennsylvania Encounter Reported | June 2018

On June 18, an anonymous report was made to Bigfoot Case Files. It was also picked up by Bigfoot Evidence and Sasquatch Central.

A man (we'll call Tom*) has reported two different encounters. The first occurred around 30-some years ago when he was 19 or 20  years old. It was late in June when he and a buddy (let's call him Rory*) decided to go fishing at a pond that was partway up a mountain in northern Pennsylvania. They arrived at the pond at around 7 pm and set up a quick camp. The two young men heated some stew for supper and then sat around the camp lantern talking about the big bass they were going to catch.

The Loch Ness Monster – Scotland’s Deepest Mystery Resurfaces

For centuries, the dark, still waters of Loch Ness have been home to one of the world’s most enduring legends: a creature said to dwell beneath the surface, massive and mysterious, rarely seen but never forgotten.

Known as Nessie, this elusive cryptid has stirred global curiosity since the early 20th century, though accounts of something strange in the loch stretch back to ancient times. From ancient Pictish carvings and Saint Columba’s fabled encounter in the 6th century, to the infamous 1934 “Surgeon’s Photograph,” the mystery has only deepened.

Family Discover Possible Bigfoot Tracks

A day ride in the mountains of Harlan County, Kentucky, yields potential Bigfoot tracks. 
We recently received a report of possible Bigfoot tracks. The report also contained several photographs.
The individual who submitted the report to me wishes to remain anonymous.
We all know Harlan County and the surrounding areas are teeming with Bigfoot reports and activity.

Here is the report:

San Diego River Bigfoot Encounter

It is fairly rare that we get reports of aggressive Bigfoot behavior but the following report was sent in by Ron of what seems to be a case of one such event. 

While reading this report, please keep in mind that the area was a lot different than it is today. I have also included some Google Maps images of the area in the post.

Here is the report:

Unexpected Late Night Encounter

On Sunday after church, we made a trip up to our local Family Dollar store. While there I ran into a local person from our area, a person that I know, who had something they wanted to share with me.

What follows is the story he told me, along with some of my thoughts.

The Matilda Story | Part 3 | Dr. Melba Ketchum and her DNA Study | Short Version

Dr. Melba Ketchum stirs lots of emotions. There is no denying the feelings when her name is mentioned. Her dealings with Sasquatch could fill a book, along with all the rumors and stories and such. I'm not writing a book.

I'm going to try to give a little personal information on her and then try to give what I can find as a timeline of her business venture into Sasquatch DNA. Even that won't be a simple thing. But I'll try.

The Matilda Story | Part 2 | The Erickson Project

The Erickson Project ran from 2005 to 2010. Its mission was to find proof that the sasquatch was real through forensic evidence: photographs, videos, footprints, skin, hair, and saliva samples.

Erickson described a typical day researching for the Project: Up in the early morning to check the area for any evidence that Sasquatch had come around. Checking for prints, checking if the food was touched. Then later in the day, he was "dealing with local residents and their issues". Maybe they would do some "B-Roll" videotaping. Then, just before dark, the team would go into the woods with night vision cameras and wait for the sasquatch to show themselves.

The Matilda Story | The Sleeping Sasquatch

Each of us at one time or another has heard a word or two about Matilda, the sleeping sasquatch, and the Erickson Project.

Realizing there is so much more to this story than a video of something "breathing" and a few photos of a Chewbacca look alike, I started looking around in an attempt to try to piece things together.

I think as a first step, perhaps we should get to know the "players". Trying to understand a person and his reasons for things can go far in attempting to see a larger picture than what was once before our eyes.

More Roadside Sasquatch Stories

Law enforcement officers see many strange things throughout their careers. One thing many hesitate to report to their superiors is anything paranormal, including seeing a sasquatch. So when these two deputy sheriffs stepped forward and told their stories to John Green, he paid attention.

Although this sighting happened as a teenager, this deputy sheriff never changed his story even years later when Green interviewed him.

Puyallup Screams | Washington State

There is a history of screams in this area just east of Tacoma. The following are just a few of the stories.

The screams seem to have first come to public attention in July of 1972 when Marlin Ayris, a resident of Forest Green (at the time a brand new subdivision), wrote to the Tacoma News Tribune. He spoke about hearing loud screams for a couple of nights coming from the woods behind his house. His neighbors claimed they did not hear the sounds, and some of them thought he was making it up. When it began to happen again the next year, Ayris made several recordings but didn't make any particular effort to properly care for them. He even reused some of the tapes for other things. One that did survive is a recording made during the day by hanging a microphone for the recorder out a window of his house. The original of the recording was not kept, but copies made from it exist.

Sasquatch Roadblock

In 1966 Roger Patterson received a letter from a man telling of a terrifying event that happened to him back in 1952. Patterson then shared the letter with John Green. Here is part of what he wrote\ :

"The first part of the story took me back to 1952 when I had gone down to Orleans <California> to start preliminary work on a logging operation with men by the names of Lee Vlery and Josh Russel.

On the Road Again with Sasquatch

Some sasquatch seem very savvy where roadways and cars are concerned. And then there are others who either don't care or are unaware.

It was mid-January 1973 when a truck driver hauling a load of logs took a curve on the road to Eureka and hit something big. He was traveling about 40-45 mph, around 7:30 pm when a creature with reddish, brown hair stepped out into the road. It was standing on the side and seemed to be unaware of the oncoming truck when it started walking. The truck hit the 6 1/2 to 7 ft tall creature and swerved off to the left shoulder of the road. The driver could hear nothing over the noise of the engine. He was sure he had not hit a bear.

More Like a Man Than an Animal

On March 18, 1987, there was a seven-man crew working outdoors in the cold and frozen wilderness near Fellers Heights, British Columbia. Four of the men called attention to something they saw on the outskirts of their worksite. They described a creature that was 7 ft tall, maybe 400 lbs. A monster.

Myles Jack, one of the workers, said: "But it was a real mover. It was really fluid in the way it moved." The creature was crouched down for part of the time, seeming to watch the men as they worked. When it circled the work site, it would peer at them through the trees, still watching them work. "It was like we were on his territory and he was checking us out."

Russian Research | Part 3 | Major General Mikhail Stephanovitch Topilski

While it was not research, the Russian army and this officer had an extraordinary encounter with a creature called Almasty. There seem to be several versions of what happened in 1925 and I will tell them all.

Major General Mikhail Stephanovitch Topilski was the commander of a cavalry regiment in the Red Army during the Civil War after the Communist Revolution of 1917. In 1925, he and his men were given the task of hunting down anti-Communist forces in the Pamir Mountains southwest of the Tien Shan. They encountered more than just fighting men.

Russian Research | Part 2

Many independent researchers made their way into the remote areas of Russia; some with the intention of studying the strange man-like, hairy creatures, and others who ran across them while traveling or while conducting their other research.

K.A. Satunin was a leading student of vertebrates in the Caucasus. He had an accidental encounter in the Talyish Mountains. He discovered a female "Biaban-Guli", which was the name used by the southern Caucasus people. When he reached a nearby settlement, he tried to obtain more information on these hairy, man-like animals who appeared unable to speak.

Russian Research

When most people think of the possibility of sasquatch-type creatures on the other side of the world, they immediately think of "Yeti." However, there is much more information out there by the Russians than anything from the Himalayas. The only problem is that not much of it is widely publicized in English.

There are some publications and some authors that will publish translations. And with internet programs available that will translate, if the material is on the internet, you can get some idea of what is being said.

Murphysboro Mud Monster aka "Big Muddy Monster" | ILLINOIS


In the summer of 1973, Illinois became the center of bigfoot activity. For two weeks the Murphysboro Mud Monster, also called  Big Muddy Monster, struck fear into the residents' hearts.

It began around midnight on June 25, 1973. A young couple, Randy Needham and Judy Johnson had parked near the boat ramp on the Big Muddy River near the city of Murphysboro. As they sat there, they heard a strange, roaring cry that came from the nearby woods. They looked towards the trees and saw a huge shape coming toward them, continuing to make the cry. When it got within 20 feet of their car, they realized that this was a 7-foot-tall creature with matted, whitish hair or fur streaked with mud from the river. Knowing that this was "something not human", they fled to the police station.

Wildmen | First Stories

When men first began to encounter strange "creatures" in the forests and grasslands, they called them "Wild Men". Experiences with these "Wildmen" occur throughout history. Even talked of in classical and preclassical times.

There was almost a romance to the "wildness" of these men. A wildness that called to the hearts of all men, a freedom of the soul, that releases something inside us even today. In the tales, we are warned of this wildness, as it would overtake us. Consume us. Take us away from civilization.

Vancouver Bigfoot Tales

John Green made many contacts who shared the stories they heard in their areas with him. Two of them for the Vancouver area were Bruce McKelvie and Charles Cates.

Bruce Mckelvie was a journalist and historian, who spent time listening to the stories told by the people in the area. He was known to keep silent if asked to and never told of the secret encounters. Charles Cates, Mayor of North Vancouver, also collected stories of these creatures. Both of these men recorded these tales long before anyone thought to keep any sort of systematic records. Unfortunately, most of what they knew was lost when they died in the late 1950s.
