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.

Sightings in Iowa in the 1970s

Iowa has a long history of bigfoot sightings. An old newspaper clipping states: " It' is the mysterious creature folks around here have heard about for 50 years -- a furry, scary thing that stands like a man."

The article continued by telling of a woman who talked of hunters and trappers who would tell tales of animals that walked like men when she first moved to the area as a young girl.

Exploring the Mountains | 6-19-24

The temperatures have been really hot in Kentucky for the last couple of weeks. Even when it is hot outside, I like to get out in the mountains.

On this day we took a short ATV ride and explored an area I rarely visit. It was a fun but kind of short adventure. We found a few interesting things.

Check out the video.

More Sightings from Alberta Canada

Three prospectors were taking their lunch break near Ribbon Creek Rd, east of Banff. Something alerted them and they realized that they were being watched by a "gorilla" sitting back on its haunches.

They watched it watching them for around 5 minutes before it stood up. One of the men said it "sort of chattered its teeth like it was cold and also moved its arms in an up and down movement". It then walked away. The three men agreed the creature was at least 7 ft tall. It had longish arms, droopy large breasts, and was covered with long brownish hair. Two of the men returned the following day and found 15in tracks in the road.

Running is Always an Option

A popular topic when two or more bigfoot people get together is what would you do if you came upon; what did you do when you came upon; bigfoot? Well, I will tell you, running is always a viable, acceptable option.

One man reported what he called a "nerve-shattering experience". He was walking one night and heard a strange crackling sound from the direction of an old beaver house. He aimed his flashlight in that direction and saw a dark creature around 7 feet tall suddenly stand up from its crouched position. He fled.

Maryland, My Maryland Bigfoot Has Come To Call

During the 1970s there was a series of apparent sightings of bigfoot in the Whitemarsh area northeast of Baltimore. These took place in the swamps around the Byrd River. Here are a few of those reports.

Richard and Elva Stewart were out cutting brush near a grove of trees when they heard breaking branches. As they stopped to listen, they grew aware of a 'swamp gas' like odor. That was when they saw the creature. It stood about 8 ft. tall and had big red eyes. When it saw them looking at him, it ran away.

Bigfoot at Quantico Marine Base

There is much talk concerning what the military knows about bigfoot. Here's one story that caught my eye.

This was reported in the Potomac News on January 17, 1977, where they published a long article about the incidents.

"Much had been written about the monster at the ammunition storage area at Quantico Marine Corps Base..." but yet the paper did not print much. I assume that they were also referring to the reports made by civilians in the surrounding areas of the base.

It is said that there have been reports of a creature in and around the base going back at least 50 years. (which has been designated at "The ASA Monster" -- ammunition storage area -- by the base officials). While there may be many people and much activity on most of the base, it is worth noting that if you look across Rt. 1, you see the Prince William State Forest.

More Swimming Sasquatch

We can't resist sharing more stories of bigfoot and water. This is an aspect of the creature that makes so much sense and many don't consider it. But then again, many do. These stories are for you.

Bob Titmus happened to be in the Butedale area of British Columbia bigfoot hunting by boat out of Klemtu when he heard about this alleged sighting in July 1965. The shore worker who reported the encounter enjoyed recreational fishing and was lucky enough to have his own outboard boat. His friend also had a boat and the two of them usually met and went out together. On this particular day, the friend wasn't able to leave as early as the shore worker, so they decided to each take their own boat and meet later.

The island is a large one that faces the mainland across a narrow channel of the inside passage. There is also a small island near the mainland shore in front of the village where the two men liked to fish on the far side of the small island.

Bigfoot Trackline Found in Oregon!

This breaking report comes out of Oregon where around 75-100 possible Bigfoot tracks have been found in a dry lake area. It is not uncommon for lakes to be down low this time of year. And we all know that the area in general, is a fantastic area for Bigfoot and Bigfoot sightings.

Here are more details and a short video of some of the tracks.

Deer Hunting - Bigfoot Style

Speculations abound and stories are shared of bigfoot hunting deer. They talk of the hows and the maybe's of hunting those fleet creatures of the woods and fields. These two stories encompass their "grocery" or "convenience" store approach to their meal.

Larry Martin and his friends learned of bigfoot's fast food approach while hunting near Alpine, Oregon in 1961.  It was evening and the men were returning to a location to pick up a deer that one of them had shot earlier. When they arrived at the spot, they could see that the carcass had been dragged from the spot. Hearing thrashing noises in the brush nearby, the men cautiously began to look about. They were hesitant in looking for the deer, having no idea what could be making all the noise.

Thoughts From John Green Still Valid Today

John Green shared many of his thoughts and conclusions throughout his book "Sasquatch the Apes Among Us" while he collected those reports of encounters and shared the experiences of those with whom he spoke. Many are worth keeping in mind even today.

He spoke of how not all the reports were true, that there probably were hoaxes involved; some stories sensationalized by newspapermen trying to sell papers. But also, that the reports he had gathered represented only a small portion of the encounters that were out there.  All the old stories that never got into print are gone forever. And there are many that are lost in old publications that people have not yet found.

Twin Cone, Kenosha Pass, Colorado Encounter

On August 23, 2018, two hikers found more than just a great view on their hike.

The mother and her 21-year-old daughter parked their car off the dirt road and set off up the trail from Kenosha Pass on the east side that would take them above the tree line. They began around noon and arrived at the tree line at about 3:30 p.m.

Their hike so far had been pleasant and they turned around to go back down the mountain.  That was when the daughter said she thought she had just heard a knock.

Not an actual photo of William Roe

The William Roe Story

How different the history of Bigfoot would be if William Roe had only owned or borrowed a movie camera back in 1955.

Roe was working on a highway near the small town of Tete Jaune Cache in British Columbia, about 80 miles west of Jasper, Alberta. In October he decided to climb five miles up Mica Mountain to where an old abandoned mine was located. He reached the mine around 3 pm after an easy climb. Coming out of some brush into a clearing, he was surprised to see what he took for a grizzly bear on the other side of the clearing.

Huge Bigfoot Track

I recently went into an area where I have been attempting gifting for several months. This is an area that I know for a fact bigfoot comes to often. I had got a slightly later start than usual but it was still early in the morning. It felt nice and cool but got warm as the day lingered on.

I made my way to the gifting area to see what was missing or if anything was different. My normal routine is to check the gifting spot and leave out new items. While there I always take pictures and videos. Most of these have not been shared (yet) but a couple are available in the Members Only section of our Youtube channel.

Normally after I check the gifting area, I scout around to see if there are any new stick formations or tracks. While I didn't find any stick structures I did find some very large bigfoot tracks.

Here is the short video of the tracks

Bigfoot Research June/July 2019

Okay, after a short setback, I was able to get back in the woods. This is just a short research video that took place over two days at the end of June and the first of July.

These are two different areas both of which have had bigfoot activity in them in the past. Areas where I have found numerous bigfoot tracks and stick formations. While there was nothing amazing captured on video, this time, it was a couple of good days out in the woods. This video will let you get a pretty good look at some of our squatchin' areas.

Here is the video:

Up for discussion today is yet another mystery game camera picture. Once again I can't remember where I found this image and I have no idea who to credit.

What I do remember, or at least I think I do, is that the picture was taken in Florida. The trees in the background look like something you might see in the sunshine state.

I seen where some people say this is a bigfoot or skunk ape, as it is know in Florida, while others say it is just a dog.

I have zoomed in and adjusted the lighting on the figure in question.

Harlan Kentucky Bigfoot Sighting - Witness Interview

Recently there was yet another bigfoot sighting in Harlan County Kentucky. I was able to get in contact with the man and conduct an interview with him. This was not his first sighting and in the interview, we talk about his previous sightings.

He also tells us about some other local bigfoot sightings by his friends and family.  This turned out to be a very good interview and John, the witness and was also able to provide me a picture of a large track.

Here is the interview and then the track picture.

Bigfoot up close?


This post by Thomas Marcum, Thomas is the founder/leader of the cryptozoology and paranormal research organization known as The Crypto Crew. Over 20 years experience with research and investigation of unexplained activity, working with video and websites. A trained wild land firefighter and a published photographer, and poet.



Here is another video of what is claimed to be a Bigfoot up close. The uploader goes by the name  Robert Cline. Here is what the description says about the encounter:

"On August 2nd, 2014 I spotted the Sasquatch / Skunk Ape in Oleta River State Park.

It was raining all afternoon and there was nobody in the park. I was riding along one of the smaller paths in the "Mountain Bike" region of Oleta. I was about 30 minutes into my ride when I heard some branches breaking along a "nature trail". I figured it was a small animal and I would go take a peek. I got off my bicycle and walked along the trail with my camera out and ready to capture the animal....

The Sasquatch seemed preoccupied with scavenging around and did not notice me. He seemed a little off, perhaps even fevered. The whole episode lasted for ten seconds, and changed my life.
"


The story sounds pretty good but the video to any normal person would seem like an obvious hoax using a common Bigfoot suit.
Here is the video.

Now, you would think that most people could see that this is a common Bigfoot suit sold in many locations and on the internet. Here is a picture of the suit.


Nothing in the Bigfoot World ever seems to be cut and dry. There seems to always be someone who will support the wildest of claims and the crappiest video. This video is no different.

As I was looking down at the comments, there were a few that called it out quickly as a hoax but there are some who believe it could be real.  Here is some screen shots of the comments I find most amusing.

 


See, this is the type of craziness we have to put up with. People who have seen a real Bigfoot, have found real evidence of the creature, we have to stomach stuff like this and try to remain tolerable.

What causes all of this? I would guess there are a few factors that causes the massive flooding of fake videos and such. The allure of getting on TV has to be a factor, I imagine, and the hopes of getting the "Finding Bigfoot" crew to come to your area. Another factor could the the idea of making money off of youtube views but that don't appear to be the case in this instants as I don't recall any ads being ran.  Maybe it's just a "look at me" type of thing.

What can we do? Well, we can try to be somewhat tolerable and help the ones we can and just let the rest wonder off.

As most of you know, this type of fake video is not going anywhere soon. There will be more and more as the popularity of Bigfoot grows.

Oh well, I guess the ones that know better can just try and laugh about it all, which is hard to do sometimes.

Have a great day.

Thanks
~Tom~
