The Kitsap, Washington, 911 Call

In 1996 [sometimes mistakenly reported as 1990] a man dialed 911 to report "someone or something" outside his suburban home. Outside of a released recording of the call, there is little known about this incident. Some call it real; some say fake.

On the "fake" side is that the Sheriff's Department responded to the call. Reports say that they found no evidence of any kind of intruder. There are also those who say that if it was not a man in the yard, then it was most likely a bear.

Elliot Lake Ape Men

In August of this year (2018) a post was shared by Kimberly Mills Parker called : The Elliot Lake Ape-Men. In the article the author relates stories from her grandpa.

The story can get confusing, so will list the "cast" and identification here.

The "he" in the story is her grandpa. He is one of the sons in the story.
The father is the author's Great grandfather and the father of her "grandpa".
Two brothers in the encounter are her great uncles  [perhaps the George and Gord mentioned later by the author.]
Sister listed would be the author's great aunt and her grandpa's sister.

Bigfoot myths about Teddy Roosevelt

There are several stories that make the rounds concerning Teddy Roosevelt and sasquatch.

Myth #1 : Roosevelt killed a bigfoot during one of his hunting expeditions.

Myth #2 : Roosevelt had a face to face encounter during which he had to fight for his life.

Myth#3 : While camping deep in the woods, one night Roosevelt heard howls and growls that he could not identify as any animal he knew.

There is no evidence to support those tall tales. False. False. And the last happened to Bauman in the story that Roosevelt retold.

Possible RAKE Sightings

I got the following email report in a few days ago. Now let me be clear I don't know a whole big lot about the RAKE and I'm assuming some of our readers don't either.

The Rake is a creature believed to be a humanoid in appearance, with several references in folklore and horrific urban legends, originally appearing on the internet on Creepypasta. The creature reportedly attacks humans due to unknown reasons and often causes its victims great psychological trauma.

It was always my understanding that the Creepypasta website was just a home for made up stories with no truth to them. But it appears that people are actually seeing something, whether its a Rake or not, that is very similar to what is described as a Rake.

With that said below is the sighting reports submitted by the witness, along with some pictures.

Hunter Hears Possible Bigfoot Vocalizations

Our friend Guy, had a very plausible Bigfoot localization event while turkey hunting. He reported it to the BFRO but has also granted us permission to post up he event. You have probably heard Guy or I refer to this event in some of our previous post. Well, now you will get the chance to read about it in greater detail. I have also included the above google map image of the area. 

Here is the report

 Is it always Bigfoot?  

I think most are starting to realize that the term " Bigfoot "  doesn't necessarily mean what many used to think it did.

Years ago when, I first started looking in to this subject after a life changing encounter of my own, Bigfoot for the most part was looked at as some kind of North American Gorilla.
 
There were of course those Crazy " Bigfoot are aliens bunch " and a few other groups of people that were considered fringe researchers but to really be accepted you pretty much had to go Gorilla or Giganto. Anything other than that and you were dismissed and called crazy.

Bigfoot Encounter in Columbiana County

I got the following report in a few days ago and wanted to share it. This took place in the state of Ohio. Ohio is home to numerous sighting reports. As you will read in the report, these folks were at the campground for a ghost hunt and not to look for Bigfoot. Sometimes Bigfoot finds you.

Here is the report

Did Bigfoot Throw A Rock?

I got the following report of a possible bigfoot throwing a rock into water. There are many reports of bigfoot throwing rocks, normally smaller ones, at people. Many think this is an effort to scary people away. There are also numerous reports of bigfoot throwing larger, basketball size or bigger, rocks into water to scare people away. My guess is that its very effect at running away unwanted strangers.

Here is the report and follow up

Face to Face With A Bigfoot - Witness Interview

This is an interview that I've been trying to get to for a little while now. I was sick and couldn't do it but finally got better and got the interview done.

James has had several sightings/encounters with Bigfoot over the years. His first was a face-to-face encounter that happened when he was very young. Two of his encounters happened in Bell County Kentucky and a third in Tennessee.

Here is the interview:

Terror of the Mississippi Tusked Ape 

By AJ Killbuck, Bigfootbase.com

Legends of giant, human-like creatures are surprisingly common in the United States. It was deep in the heart of the south, that one of the most unusual types of these creatures was first sighted: a tusked ape-man. The residual impact of that strange encounter still lingers in the Mississippi woods to this day.

The First Encounter (1868)

The first report of this strange creature surfaced way back in 1868, tucked away in the comfortable southern landscape of Mississippi. A group of hunters from Franklin County were tracking game in the woods, accompanied by their pack of hunting dogs.

Got a bigfoot sighting report submitted to us yesterday. I was busy the first part of the day today but I wanted to share the report with everyone. This is a report that is fairly close to me and is a place, general area, that I have been on many occasions.

Here is the report

General area highlighting Eagle Creek

Here is another sighting from Tony, that has never been reported until now. Tony had another sighting around 15 years prior to this one that we reported on a few days ago. You can read that sighting by clicking Here.  These are both very good accounts and I hope you take the time to read them over. As I stated in the other report, these come from someone I personally know and feel is a truthful person. This particular encounter is very similar to one I had many years ago.

Mock up/Re-creation of Sighting.
This is a bigfoot sighting report that has never been shared publicly until now. Even though this report is older, it still is important to me. First, it helps establish a history for sightings in this particular area. In fact, this general area is close to me and is home to several other more recent reports of bigfoot sightings.
The contact person on this wishes to remain anonymous, so I will call him Tony in this report. But I can tell you that he is someone I personally know and have known for many years. We were out of contact for many years, because he moved away.


Here is the report.

Mock up photo.
I recently got in the following report. It is my understanding that this has never been reported until now and that the encounters and sightings have been going on for many years. Some of what the witness describes has happened to a lot of people over the years. There are many reports of bigfoot following people from a safe distance in the woods.

Here is the report.

- Start Report - 
 
Name: Harper *******

Email Address:
On File

State:
Georgia

County:
Harris county

Date of Sighting: years (Reoccurring)

Time of Day: all different times but mainly mornings an late evenings

Nearest Town: Shiloh,GA just north of Columbus, Ga

Length of Sighting: quick

How many Witnesses: just me

Any Photos/Videos: No, I'm 65 yrs old and lived here all my life seen many times since a child

Describe sighting in detail:
This is hard cause I'm old and this started as a child, I was raised in the country and have lived in and played in these woods all my life. My dad was Native American and a cop and I didn't have many friends as a child, as I said I pretty much lived in these woods, I knew all the animals and could track most as I wanted, just a gift from being alone in the woods every day. I had one friend that lived in the small town here and we had a trail thru the woods from my house to his. It was pretty thick woods that had never been logged at that time. As I would be walking thru I'd here footsteps trailing me off just far enough in the woods that I could hear but not see them. It didn't take long utill instead of walking I would run thru the woods back and forth cause I noticed if I stopped it stopped thats what scared me a bit and made me start running instead of walking. This trail was a little over a half a mile.

It got so bad that we started walking out on the paved road instead of woods because of it. Got more and more closer and as kids it scared us, but then we could hear it off in the woods trailing us even then. You stop it stopped. Told my dad, finally, and he told me to stay out of the woods until he could try to find out what it was, he thought it was a panther. That scared me even more. Well all thru years after military service to make story shorter, I came back here after a bad work injury to try get life back.

My parents had left me house and I went without income for five yrs,  it was about the only option I had.  Started hearing brush cracking in woods, I was in my 50s at this time,  went out one day to harvest garlic heard what sounded like a tree cracking, a large one and just a heavy thump on the ground that shook the ground an footsteps running away thru the woods. It spooked me pretty good. Next time, I had got a dog for company, I use to let him out at night to do his business before bedtime and he would just do normal like a dog run around find his spot an do his thing. One nigh I heard him growling real serious like and barking, he was the kind if something was in yard he would charge it an run it off, this time he had his tail between his legs and barking, but the growls wern't his, they came from the wood, finally something charged him. Now if he goes out after dark I have to be with him, something spooked him good.

I also have an old pear tree in back yard, two years in a row every pear on the tree has disappeared over nite, not a trace in tree or ground just gone.

Only sighting is in the field across the road. I saw a jet black figure, now when I say black I mean the blackest shiniest black you have ever seen. I seen, the head and shoulders running across field toward wood line, only a glimpse but know only one thing with that cone shaped head. But I only saw the head and one shoulder as it was running down the hill and that was all was visible.
Thats all I care to write about don't know if you are interested or not  but as a child we did have military come to house said they were here to recover some part that fell off a helicopter, that was bullsh*t, and we were made to stay in house while they did what they did in the woods, kinda strange they needed armed soldiers standing guard while they did what they were doing.

- End Report -

Thanks goes to Harper for submitting his various encounters and his sighting. I hope at some point we can have a follow up to this report.



Thanks
~Tom~

Not actual photo, used for reference only.

Today, I was treated to several stories and reports about bigfoot. One of which I have permission to share with our readers. This possible sighting took place here in Kentucky back in October of 2012.
The area of the sighting is one that I'm fairly familiar with, as it is a location I have been in before.

Here is what Tony told me about the event:

Wednesday, September 21, 2016


This is a sighting/encounter report that was recently sent to me. At the request of the witness I will not disclose the actual location of the encounter, but will just let you know it took place in Oklahoma.
A family had went on a hunting trip up in the mountains and a bigfoot came to their camping area.

Here is the report as it was told to me by the witness/relative.

"They (The group) pulled a camper up on a mountain to hunt. It had recently been clear cut. Brian (my uncle) got back early from the hunt. They had a generator but with the full moon he didn't need the lights, just the stove, and he was hungry. The moon was full and the window in front of the stove had been broken. They had put an old tarp that had a few small holes in it over it (the window).

 He was frying some bologna and he said that everything just went dark. And he heard breathing. He thought the rest of the family had snuck in and was trying to scare him Cuz he was only 16. He tried to look out the tarp to see who it was and started telling them he wasn't falling for it. He noticed the silhouette against the moon. It was massive, easily taller than the trailer.

 At this point he panicked. He went for his muzzleoader and  it was one of the old ones you had to put a cap on. He recalls shaking so badly he couldn't get it on. As he was trying to put the cap on, a large finger came inside the tarp (through one of the holes), curled and pulled it (the tarp) off. He turned on the lights and two eyes, he said, were far too far apart to be human, were reflecting back at him.

He stuck the gun as close as he dared and told it he was gonna shoot and thought if it was a man that would have scared him off. He said it blinked and stayed there. It started rocking and shaking the trailer and then just left. 

Well, at this time my family was driving down the road towards the trailer. They all agree, as soon as the lights hit the trailer, Brian crashed through the trailer door and was sprinting to the car. He actually jumped in an open window screaming there was a demon and not to go back there. He made them take him home. The next day they got to the trailer the bologna was gone and dents where in the top of the trailer."

- End Report -  

This happened in the early 1980's according to what I was told. I for one sure can not blame ol bigfoot for getting after that fried bologna. Fried bologna is one of my favorites. I also understand not wanting to give away the exact location of this report. I have seen it all too many times, where someone gives the location of a sighting and the wrong people go in there and try to hunt one or something.

So, I will just say thanks to the "person" who sent in this report. I enjoyed it.


Thanks
~Tom~

Ancient Alien Contact?
If Aliens Never Visited Earth, What Are They Doing In Our Ancient Art?

By Dorraine Fisher


Science continues to either ignore or completely deny the existence of aliens and their possible role in our history. Of course, there may be no way to verify it all by the scientific method. But to some of us it’s pretty obvious that we’ve had unusual visitors in our ancient past. Why else would figures like these turn up in our ancient art and texts?

This statue said to have been found in Jerusalem by archaeologist Sir William Petrie, seriously resembles descriptions of modern accounts of grey aliens. It seems to be wearing an Egyptian-style headdress of some sort, and on the right side of the frame, the inscriptions appear to depict alien encounters, including a saucer-shaped craft beaming light downward.
Scientists and other researchers often explain these as the ancients depicting mythical beings. But what if they were depicting things they actually saw? On looking at this statue, it’s well worth asking the questions.




This painting from 15th century of the Virgin Mary depicts what looks an awful lot like a saucer-shaped craft hovering over the scene . A man can be seen staring up at the craft, while his dog sits looking upward barking at it. It seems like an awful lot of detail and context for an event that never happened. Why would an artist in that time with no knowledge of such things create a painting such as this?












Just exactly what is the object in the top of this painting?  Painted by Flemish artist Aert De Gelder, and titled The Baptism of Christ, it’s hard to say this object is anything else but a depiction that matches modern accounts of “flying saucers,” complete with beaming rays of light streaming down on the scene. Artists were often depicting a biblical story the way they were told it happened. So why would Gelder depict such a pivotal event this way? And even if he made the whole thing up, how could he even imagine such a thing at that time unless suggestions of such a thing had been made by others? And how would THEY have imagined such a thing?




 

Another depiction of a grey alien in an ancient carving that graced an archway of Nazlet El Samman, Egypt. It’s origin is still considered a mystery, though it doesn’t seem quite as mysterious to us. 

 5000 BC. Extremely curious ancient cave art from Kimberly, Australia.


 A curious petroglyph in Sego Canyon, Utah, USA.

The most interesting thing about all this is that there was no place to stop. There are endless numbers of examples all over the world. Scientists scoff at the idea of aliens, but don’t offer satisfactory explanations that are any less ridiculous than ours. Check out the rest of these.

Over the years, I have taken in many reports of deer hunters encountering Bigfoot. This could probably stem from the fact that both hunters, and bigfoot, are stalking the same prey. This encounter occurred in Lenawee County, Michigan. Lenawee County is in the southeaster part of Michigan.


Here is a report I recently got in from Craig.

- Start Report-


Name: Craig *****

Email Address:
On file

State: MI

County:
Lenawee

Date of Sighting:
2006

Time of Day:  before dark

Nearest Town: Tecumseh (Tom - Tecumseh is a small city in Lenawee County. It is about 60 miles from Detroit and a 40 miles from Toledo, Ohio.)

Length of Sighting: Unsure

How many Witnesses: 1

Any Photos/Videos:
No

Describe sighting in detail:
I was watching 3 deer at about 200 Yds away, while bow hunting. When I began to hear a knocking sound coming from the woods very close to the deer.  The knocking came closer and it was an unmistakable wood on wood sound that was loud. At about 80 Yds away a branch was broken that immediately had me very nervous as it was very loud.
The knocking kept coming closer with no other sounds and it was calm and quiet that day.  It came all the way to within 35 yds or so and the knocking was all I heard. If it came any closer it would have to show itself but never did.

After a few knocks at close range my mind was racing as I had never heard of this behavior by anything and absolutely did not believe in Bigfoot, until that day. I heard a slight rustling of the leaves as apparently it headed back into the woods deeper but not without letting out a crazy scream/growl/yell that was terrifying.
That was all I could take and jumped from my tree stand (about 10 ft) and hustled to my truck without running, because I was thinking it might attack as I've heard that you don't run from a predator.  It took 2 hands to start my truck since my hands were shaking so bad. This happened 3 miles from my house and I do hear things occasionally but nothing like that day. I've never gone to that spot again, and never will.

- End Report -

Thanks goes to Craig for sharing his encounter with all of us. Even though this might have been a scary experience, it was also an eye opening one for Craig. Most of us have been told, that Bigfoot is not real, but for those of us who have seen and/or heard it, we have no doubts about bigfoot being real. Just be careful when jumping out of a tree stand.



Thanks
