The History Channel's CRYPTID: THE SWAMP BEAST

This post by Thomas Marcum, Thomas is the founder/leader of the cryptozoology and paranormal research organization known as The Crypto Crew.

The bayous of Southern Louisiana are home to some of the planet's most rugged and unforgiving terrain.  And hidden deep within these swampy confines lie many of America's oldest mysteries and bone-chilling legends.  With its ancient Indian burial grounds and above ground cemeteries, the area has always teemed with eerie sightings.  In recent years however, there has been a dramatic uptick in strange occurrences, many of them attributed to a legendary werewolf-like creature known as the Rougarou.   In History's newest narrative series, residents of a small bayou town must face their darkest fears when something unknown begins to attack, leading to panic and hysteria.  When it's believed the culprit is possibly the Rougarou, or Bigfoot of the bayou, the townsfolk will use whatever means necessary, including the dark arts, to ward off the evil.  An American folktale comes to life with the story of CRYPTID: THE SWAMP BEAST.

Ok, sometimes I would play a game with my followers and post up a photo and ask "what is it?" but I've not done that in a while. So I thought I'd have a little fun today and ask
"If you seen this figure in the woods would you think it could be a bigfoot?" or in other words "Could it be a Bigfoot?"

Just imagine seeing this dark, hairy figure moving around in the woods, late in the day at the edge of dark.

Here is the figure:

I think this was taken in Louisiana  --  I think some people might even take a shot at this figure under the right lighting conditions.

Thanks and I hope you enjoyed that.

A few of days ago I got an email from Dr. Chilton (Not sure if that is the real name) about an experience at Loyd Hall Plantation in Louisiana.  Loyd Hall , for those who don't know, has a history of being haunted and was featured on American's most haunted show. Some of you might remember one part of the show where they show the hardwood floors and the floors still have a large blood stain on them, well this is that place.

Here is Dr. Chilton's account:

My sister and I stay  frequently at an old plantation home in Louisiana. On one occasion, when our room was in an upstairs portion of the main house, I was awakened very early in the morning by someone pushing on my shoulder and asking in a child's voice for her "crinoline???"'. I  later asked the housekeeper at breakfast whose room I was staying in, and she said that it had originally ( during the Civil War) been the governess' room....connected to the bedroom of the 2 young girls in the family.....I found out that a "crinoline" was a girl's petticoat in the 1800's.....someone needed help getting dressed that morning!!  Also that night I also heard a man's voice telling the little girl to "let the lady sleep: come with me and leave her alone."
Thanks to Dr. Chilton for sharing the story with us.

Much more information is available on Loyd Hall via internet search.

Bigfoot Crosses HWY. 441

I recently got another sightings report. They shared possibly two sightings. The first one was in 2000.

AB said -
"So everybody thinks I'm crazy but I know I saw a Bigfoot back in 2000 around 12am cross a main highway in 3 steps right in front my truck and a friend was with me and we both looked at each other with a puzzled look and he said don't fu**ing stop the location was highway 441 Holden, LA just about 50yards from tickfaw river."

More recent encounter with some odd sounds.
AB said -
"Now recently I have heard loud growls across the road from my house which is around Bear creek hunting club and even my wife and mom have heard it and just tonight I was putting some deer corn out by the river it was about 6:00pm and something slammed a tree hard enough to shake the limbs and I of course ran because I know what's out there, I've seen back in 2000."

I'm still following up on this report and hope to set up a meeting with one of our TCC researchers and AB.

Thanks
Tom
