I can remember growing up and hearing my papaw and my dad talk about seeing large cats in and around Bell County, Ky. As I got older the stories seems to become less and less but over the last few years there has been a increase of sightings in this area. I personally know 3 or 4 people who have seen these big cats. If you ask Fish and Wildlife about Panther/Cougars in this area they tell us that there is none around here. They also told us that about black bears.

Well, I know the people who took this photo and I know where it was taken but I will not reveal them or the location. It was taken Bell County. The person who took this picture had this to say.

"...got pictures of three different black ones and one yellow one. The yellow one was for sure a mountain lion."

I'm working on getting some more photos of these big cats. I hope to have another report at some point.

Here is a the full picture from above.


If you have evidence of  panthers/cougars in Southeastern Kentucky, feel free to contact me.

Thanks

It should be noted that this is the same area that Terry Roark seen the creature in last year. Read about it and watch the interview by Clicking Here.

Now here is second report, it is from 2001 and in the same general area. This person has ask to remain anomalous.


- Start Report 2 -
It was in late summer of 2001, it was me and one of my sons and one of my nephews. We where out walking and talking & trying to scare each other on Cardinal Rd and as we came to the strip jobs there was something standing right in the middle of the road on the strip job on our left ,well my son keep saying it was a tree but I kept telling him it wasn't a tree because I walked there to many times.

I always loved walking on the strip jobs where there's no people and no traffic, it stood still as still can get, it did not move at all but it was about 7 to 8 ft tall it was on 2 legs. I cant say if there's was any hair or not because I told my son and nephews lets run and we did, but as we came closer to the house I said to my son lets get my pistol and a flash light and I will show you its not a tree. And we did but when we got back out to the strip job it was gone .
I'm not saying it was a big foot because I'm not sure if I believe in them myself but I'm not sure it wasn't one either.

- End Report -

Report 2 was also in Bell county.


Thanks to the people who shared their sightings with us. This is an area I have researched in and have personally found evidence that bigfoot is in the area.


Thanks

Bigfoot!

This report comes from a long time friend and former school mate of mine, June Neal. The above picture and the following report comes from the Beans Fork area in Bell county, Kentucky.

June and her husband Scott went to get corn out of their garden and when they got there six rows of corn was uprooted and the corn all ate. June told me "It was in about 7 or 8 piles after it was ate of cleaned cobs. Our squash and pumpkins got gone too. Our garden looked like a tornado had been through it."  This all happened in one night and the eaten corn cobs were left in neat little piles.

According to June there were several more tracks but the one pictured above was the best. The size of the track was larger and wider than her son's shoe and he wears a size 13.  June told me it was about 3 inches longer than her son's shoe and it had 5 toes, so that would make this track around 16 inches.

She also told me that they had heard strange loud yells off in the distance several times as well. Others from the area have also confirmed hearing these yells

This event took place in August of 2011.

Of course people always point to things like this as being a bear but in my opinion there is just no way it can be. I mean a bear eating corn and stacking up the cobs in neat piles? I don't think so. The story is also backed up by multiple witnesses to the strange yelling sounds. Plus me knowing June for most of my life I know she would not make something like this up.

Here is a general map of the area


Beans Fork Area

A special thanks to June and Scott for allowing us to share the photo and story. I should also mention the couple no longer live in the area or state.

If anyone from the Beans Fork area has had a similar experience please contact me.

Thanks

Another Bigfoot sighting in Bell county, Ky

This sighting has never been reported until now. This is a person I personally know and can say that in all the years I've known them they have always been a honest and a down to earth type of person.
This person is also a Christian and a respected member of the community.
They have ask to remain anonymous for fear of public Ridicule and to not bring attention to themselves.

This sighting took place around hwy 92 in bell co,KY. The Cumberland river is only about 2 miles from the actual sighting area and there is a creek run within 200 yards of the sighting area. This is a very compelling story.
