Ohio Stories From The Early Days

In the 1800s, the "Wildman" or "Gorilla" ran wild in the Ohio woods.

In late April near Stout, Ohio, a "Wildman" was being seen in the woods. After it allegedly attacked a boy, thirty armed men hunted for the creature. It was described as very tall and "almost naked". And that it could run like a deer. Another witness said the "Wildman" was wearing a pair of tattered pants.

Hmmm. Almost naked. Does that mean it was hairy?  As for the tattered pants, the mind may tell us the creature had to have clothes, that it couldn't be long hair, matted and dirty. Who knows? There is no report that the thirty men ever found the attacker.

Three 1960's "Quickies" From Minnesota

Just for the fun of it: Three short encounters from Minnesota from the 1960s. These appeared as "fillers" in various publications and there are few details known.

In fall of 1968 in La Crescent, a man thought he heard one of his friends approaching the duck blind in which he waited. He stood up to caution the guy to be quieter. Instead of his friend, he found himself looking at the middle of a huge,black, hairy chest. He dropped his shotgun, which set off a shot and the tall hairy creature ran off screaming.

Bigfoot Evidence In Kentucky

I got the following report submitted a couple of weeks ago. According to the report, there was some good evidence collected after a sighting. But that is not all, there were some other strange events that took place you can read about.

Here is the report

Coast to Coast Am Featuring Michael Cook

In case you missed last night's Coast to Coast Am show, it featured colleague and friend Michael Cook.

Michael W. Cook is the founder of Cook Cryptid Research and has dedicated much of his life to cryptozoology and his pursuit of answers through scientific means. Described as one of the most open-minded researchers out there, Cook has a resume that is full of experiences and collaboration with some of the most well-known researchers on earth. He will discuss his 20 years of researching Bigfoot and how a face-to-face encounter with a Bigfoot on a riverbank in Southeast Kentucky when he was 16 changed his life forever. - (Taken from the Coast to Coast website)

Only they they forgot to add was that Mike is part of the TCC members network.

10 Most Convincing Bigfoot Sightings

While browsing through the internet, I came across a title : "10 Most Convincing Bigfoot Sightings". Being curious, I took a look.

The website "Outside Exposure" at www.outsideonline.com, called this a compilation of the "most famous - perhaps most convincing -- bigfoot photos ever captured". So, let me share the list with you and you can decide for yourselves. The videos are all available on line and you can either search them out for yourself, or go to the website that I saw and use their links to view them.

Here is the list:

Ulster County, New York Sasquatch

This multi-generation cattle farm has a history with what may be a family of sasquatch. The most recent experiences occurred last summer.

While enjoying a bonfire on the night of June 28, 2018 a man and his fiancé added to the evening by playing Native American music.  They began to hear tree knocks and "whoops" in the night. The sounds came from both in front of them and behind. They remained outside listening until the sounds stopped, approximately from 10 pm to 2 am.

Daylight Sighting In NE Ohio

A regular drive through Geneva-on-the-Lake State Park turned unusual for a couple and their children February 15, 2014.

At around 4 pm a husband and wife and their two children, ages 9 and 7, drove into the State Park just to check how far the ice had formed over the lake and marina. As they approached the corner of Padinanum and Lake Roads, they noticed a bad smell. They drove slowly through the marina parking lot and then stopped for a few moments. The noticed a truck parked and two cars which appeared to belong to the snow removal service.

Bigfoot Seen Entering Old Coal Mine

I had heard about this sighting of two bigfoots entering an old coal mine a few months back. I recently gathered more details and location information. So, it was time to venture into the wilds of the Kentucky forest to see if I could find the site. 

Some of what I will type here is also in the video and some of the things referenced in the video will be linked in this post.

Before we get to the video, let me give you a little background on this sighting.

Field Research (9/2/21) Ginseng Time & Bigfoot Finds

Hey gang, I'm back with another post from a very recent outing. This is a great time of year for me. Not only do I get to go out looking for bigfoot evidence, but I also get to explore the Kentucky mountains for ginseng. I enjoy doing both and I'm glad I can share the adventures with everyone.

On this particular day, I went to my gifting area and left out some goodies. It was a quick trip as I wanted to hit the woods and look for ginseng. The ginseng season comes in on September 1st for us but I didn't get to go that day due to wind and rain. So I was excited to get out there. 

While out on this adventure I had not one but two black bear encounters.

Check out the video below and then continue reading.

Bigfoot Hit by Truck

I got the following report submitted to me a few days ago. The event described by the witness took place near Newport, Tennessee. 

Newport is a city in Cocke County, Tennessee. The town is situated along the Pigeon River in an area where the foothills of the Great Smoky Mountains descend into the French Broad drainage basins.

Before the arrival of European settlers in 1783, the area that is now Cocke County was probably inhabited by the Cherokee. The county has a total area of 443 square miles with about 9 miles of that being covered with water.

Here is the witness report

Baby Bigfoot Track Castings - Looking At Details

Today I finally got and took the time to clean those baby bigfoot track casting I made about 2 weeks ago. I wanted to show you some of the details of the castings and search them for hairs.

I have found hairs in a previous casting from a couple years ago, so I wanted to check these as well. I did notice while cleaning them there was some hair in the mud.

Here is a short video showing the details of the prints and the hairs.

Bigfoot Audio Capture

I was going through my phone the other day trying to clear some space when I ran across a short video that I had captured a vocal in. 

Ordinary, for the past few years, when I caught something like this I would send it off to Tom to get his take on it but I was pretty sure I hadn't with this one. After listening to it again a few times I decided to send it off to get his thoughts on it.

This was captured in 2019 on a return to the south mountain (Canada) where I had my first encounter in 1997.
We had stopped to film what was left of a possible structure. I was filming and Becca was standing next to me waiting for me so we could head back upstream.

A couple of months ago, I discovered some strange activity near me in a local park that I frequent in my little city here in the Midwest USA. It’s a nice old central park with big trees and all kinds of walking trails through wooded areas that for years was quiet. I had been to this park probably hundreds of times over the years and never noticed anything strange.

But as I was driving through it this last winter, I noticed some things had changed there. There were trees that had been knocked down or broken and I noticed a lot of branches had been broken or woven into patterns. Like these:
