A young me and my coon dog Sam. He was a good dog.

Well, I've been putting this off for years but I finally decided to share my very first encounter with a Bigfoot. I have never told this publicly or in any great detail but here it is now. The story in the video is 100 percent true. What I have done is just set my camera up and told what happen to me and my dad one night while out coon hunting.

I know this will open me up to a lot of criticism not necessarily because of the event but because of my speech. Some people act as if they have never heard a person from Kentucky talk before or something.  So for those who will make hateful comments, I'll go ahead and concede that yes I talk funny and Yes I look like an ogre ...so no need to tell me, I've heard it all before. 

Well, in any event ...here is the video and I hope you enjoy it.




Thanks

Describe sighting in detail:
I was picking blackberries on old Westvaco property when some deer come running out of the 8 to 10 foot tall trees I was picking berries by. Then I could hear something coming thru the trees after them. It was making a growl like grunt sounds.  As it got closer I could see the trees being pushed apart. That is when I could see a hairy arm and hand. I could see leg and hip too. The limbs it was pushing apart were 3\4 the way up these trees two rows in. I got my bucket and got the hell out of there. Scared the hell out of me.

Follow Up Question:

This report comes from Letcher County, Kentucky, which is not very far from me. I have been in this area when I was a wild land firefighter, the mountains are very large and deep in this area. It also has some really remote areas.

-Start Report-
Name: Tim *******
Email Address: withheld
State: KY
County: Letcher
Date of Sighting: Oct,31/2012
Time of Day: 5:30 near dark
Nearest Town: Jenkins
Length of Sighting: encounter lasted approx. 10 mins
How many Witnesses: myself
Any Photos/Videos: n/a
Describe sighting in detail:
I was deer scouting, gun season nearing, was in a hollow called Dark hollow, coming off the top of ridge, what is known as Pine Ridge, at the end of an old logging/mining road. Just as I was about to step off the embankment to the logging/mining road, I hear a loud Woosshhh, so loud, I'm sure my eyes crossed and short moments later woosshhh, so I yelled loud as I could, wanting to warn whatever it was, that I was there, so thinking it possibly might be a bear, elk or big cat I shot a round from a 30/30,trying to show it along its merry way, and again, woosshhhh. I shot another round, 3 times I shot into the embankment trying to warn it that I wasn't there to play. And I fumbled my cell phone about to call my brother, try to get him to drive up to closely where I was and try to scare it away, which he was trick or treating with his daughter and couldn't. So I had to man-up and get to my vehicle on my own, legs shaking I backed away from the direction the woosshhing sound was coming from, I kept the embankment between me and the creature and looked back about 50 yards with blurry, watery eyes and seen the thing just standing there, upon arriving to my vehicle. Never will forget that day, was also getting foggy and misting rain.

Describe the creature -
I only seen that it was darkish brown and approx 6 to 7 feet in height, this was roughly 50 to 60 some yards away, about 35 minutes till dark. About 4 hundred pounds of weight. No special features, what I mean is no muscular or bodily features.
And seriously, between the fear from its sound, my eyes were really watering, not crying but as in nerve damage from the fear.
The sound was like the "wo" sound wolf and followed by the long "shhh" sound, like shhhhh and fadeing. woosshhhh.

Have you been back there?
Been back once, been there (general area) a few times, main ridge runs along hwy but a couple miles away

Any other reports from that area?
Other reports ,maybe 10 miles away, closest

Bigfoot track

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.


Just thought I'd share a photo of a bigfoot track. This was from a track line I found in 2013. There was a bigfoot sighting and as I investigated the area, which was pretty remote, I was able to fine a track line containing around 10-12 tracks. I later found another track line in the same area and I sure it was made by the same bigfoot. This sighting and investigation took place in Kentucky.

This was the #6 print in the first Track line. I know it is a little hard to see due to the lighting. I did manage to make one casting of what I thought was the best track. The track was roughly 14 inches long and 7 inches wide.

I was also able to find several single tracks in the same area. The foot impressions were roughly twice as deep as my foot track. Which to me would indicate the creature was about twice my weight, making it around 600 pounds. I also found many tree breaks and other stick anomalies.

Thanks

Game Cam Deployed!

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.


Well, with me finally feeling better, been sick over a month, and the weather finally improving, I decided to go back to a bigfoot sighting area, that is still active, and set up a game cam. I first reported this sighting back in Sept. of 2013 and did a witness interview. The post along with the witness interview can be found by Clicking Here. I also did some field work when the sighting happened and it can be found by Clicking Here.

On my trip to set the game cam I was able to find what could be a possible old track. Another interesting thing about this possible track was that right close to it was two piles of scat. I was hoping to check out the scat better but the dog stepped all in the more fresh pile. It was not scat like a bear or dog, it seemed more human like.
Here is the photo of the possible old track, remember it has rained and snowed on it several times.


Possible Old Track

Back in Sept of 2013 I found several fresh tree breaks and twist in this area and upon my return trip I found a few more odd things.
I found a possible arch, it appeared to be bent and wedged under some brush and a old fallen tree.
Here is a photo of it

Here is another picture, this may be nothing but it seemed odd to me and there was three or four tree breaks right under this standing tree.

I feel this area is still active and appears to be a traveling area for bigfoot. I have also spoken with some people who live right next to this area and they were wondering what is passing by their house late at night about 2-3 times a week. Their dogs and other dogs close by go crazy and I personally am woken up often by this. All this is taking place right in my little area. I should also note that there is a small cave on the opposite facing ridge.

While being back in the woods, I found a trail that was pretty wore down and appear to be getting some traffic. The ground was too hard for tracks but that possible old track was right off this worn path.

I will continue to research the area and try to keep my game cam out through this year.

Thanks

Bigfoot Track in KY

This is a report from Letcher County, Kentucky.

-Start BFRO Report -

YEAR: 2010
SEASON: Spring
MONTH: March
DATE: 03/26/2010
NEAREST TOWN: Deane
NEAREST ROAD: Highway 7
OBSERVED: Me and another person was walking up a hollow below a hollowfill. The area was very marshy as beavers have been damming up the streams. We came upon an area where the stream split in two. There was a large rock on the "island" and next to it we found an odd looking impression in the mud. It was approximately 14 inches in length and roughly twice as wide as my steel toe boot. I have three photographs of it. One photo shows my boot next to it. I'm not sure if what I saw is anything. But the photos clearly show what looks to me like toes but I could just be wanting to see more than what is actually there. If you want copies of the photos, let me know.
OTHER WITNESSES: 1, we were walking up the stream bed.
OTHER STORIES: There have been other reports in the area. Some though are a bit questionable.
TIME AND CONDITIONS: Early morning, sunny, clear
ENVIRONMENT: The area was kind of a marsh due to beavers working in the area. We were in a hollow.
Follow-up investigation report by BFRO Investigator Don Adkins:

"I spoke with the witness on two separate occasions about his track find. The location where the tracks were found is in a remote area at a natural gas well-drilling site. The area is rough terrain with a heavy forest and many coal mining sites. He emailed me the photos, and I found them to be very interesting. The witness has also heard calls similiar to internet recordings of sasquatch in the past and has reported them to us. This area is close to where Report #26036 occurred."

- End BFRO Report -

The main reason I wanted to share the BFRO report was because I recently got a report from Letcher county from Randy. You can read Randy's account by Clicking Here.  Randy also has a facebook site, found Here, for people in and around Letcher county. Over the past few weeks I have became pretty good friends with Randy and with us both being in Kentucky, we'd like to see more people come forward from this area and tell of their sightings.  Bigfoot is seen pretty often in KY, but many people are reluctant to talk about it for fear of being made fun of. I know I get this pretty often from some of our local people, but that's ok it does not change the fact of what I've seen and found.

Over the past few months I have seen my skeptical father turn into a believer, but he had his own personal sighting, found Here, and I think that is what it will take to convince some people that bigfoot is a real creature, their own personal sighting. My dad told me the other day that I had ruined him and he told me he can't get out in the mountains now without looking for bigfoot signs and tracks.

Anyways, If you have had a bigfoot sighting and would like to report it please contact us. There is a link at the top of the page or send us an email at thecryptocrew@kih.net.  We can change your name or just leave it out.

Possible Bigfoot Eye shine

This photo comes to us from fellow Kentuckian D.Neal (aka: Biggyfoot).
Here is what he told about the photo.

"Taken with a trail camera set up on my Deer hunting lease back in 2008.
After several weeks of research and measuring it was found that the possible "eye-shine" was at 7'4". Since 2008 I have found 2 nice tree structures and a tee-pee like structure. Pretty awesome stuff.
After this pic was captured we went and did several days of research and investigations concerning this pic. This is a huge trail, or open walkway if you will that goes back for several hundred yards. In the vicinity of the actual eye shine there is NO limbs or branches to hold an Owl or a Raccoon.
I still have this same property under lease and have found 2 great tree structures there also. Not much as far as sounds."

D. Neal recently gave me more info about how the picture has been studied.
Here is what he told me.

"When I first captured it a Photo expert with the BFRO studied it and said that it almost appeared as if the light was "emitting' from the eyes, but yet it was NOT anything electrical but he could vaguely make out a form. Then a photo expert from Owensboro took the original pic and worked with it for several days, SHE was NOT a believed in Bigfoot. To her surprise she said she was able to also make out a form, or a figure around and under the eye-shine that resembled a tall standing figure. Today she is a believer in Bigfoot."

but that's not all, Neal continued

"A Crime Scene annalist used a $25000 piece of machinery that studies photos and breaks them down did so on this pic. Although she couldn't make out a form or figure (she didn't have the original, just a copy) she did conclude that the eye-shine was NOT from a man made object, or an electrical source, and that it was not from an airplane or a car."

I have attempt to do some slight enhancement to the photo myself, here is my efforts.




This is a pretty cool photo and we thank D. Neal for letting us sharing the photo and the story.


Thanks
~Tom~

While out coon hunting Dustin and his future wife encounter what was possibly a bigfoot.
This took place in Henderson County, Kentucky in 2011. This interview was filmed by Don Neal.
What Dustin describes about the dogs reaction is very similar to the reaction my dogs had one time during a bigfoot encounter, so I wanted to share this story.

Thanks
