Expedition - Part 4

The 4th day of our adventure started even earlier than the previous days. The plan for the day was to visit 2 different locations. The first locations was Area 1 and the gifting area. The second location was the old coal mine area, this was one location on Guy's "must do" list.

We arrived at Area 1 and began our hike to the gifting area.

Sighting Report From Montgomery County

I recently got in a sighting report submitted of a possible bigfoot sighting in Montgomery County Kentucky. 

In 1796, Montgomery became the 22nd county created by the Kentucky Legislature. It was named for General Richard Montgomery, an Irishman who ​was killed in the first volley of the attack on Quebec in 1775. Montgomery County is located in the Outer Bluegrass region of the state. The elevation in the county ranges from 707 to 1447 feet above sea level. In 2000 the county population was 22,554 in a land area of 198.59 square miles.

Here is the report

Finally Back In The Woods!

I finally got to go back into the woods. I hurt my knee about one month ago and then as it was almost better I blew it out carrying some furniture. The second time was much worst than the first and I was down to using a cane for a few days. Yeah, I was moving really slowly through the house and could not even bend my knee for a few days.

Fast forward about 10-12 days and my knee is feeling much better. Not all the way better, but good enough I got to take a short trip to my gifting area.

Not Your Photo

This post is about two things : One - a photograph of an alleged bigfoot that keeps making the rounds; Two - people who take photos and try to pass them off as something either new, or theirs, or their neighbors, or a friend of a friend's . . .  well, you get my meaning.

The photograph I'm sharing today has crossed my laptop a couple of times. And then showed up just recently in a couple other places. Then it showed up as a pending post for our group. As allegedly coming from a friend's trail cam. The member was messaged for more information about this photo, for after all, it might be possible that his friend is the original source of the photo. [Don't sneer at me. Stranger things have happened, people.] There has been no response as of yet. And so I go ahead with this post anyway. 

"Hey Bigfoot" -- Boy Films Bigfoot In His Backyard

On October 16, 2010, a young boy filmed a bigfoot in his backyard. For awhile there it was one of the most watched and believed in videos out there. Not many talk about it today.

It's not particularly well filmed. The camera jogs around, loses the target here and there. And there is blur. But it seems to be genuine. It seems to be believable. It's some very interesting footage. So why isn't it presented as good proof? Why doesn't it appear on those "famous" the top [insert any number] bigfoot videos? Well, that can only be answered by those who make those lists, I guess.

Anyhow, I was reminded of the footage by Leo the other day while we were talking sasquatch, bigfoot, and cryptids in general. So I went looking for it. The original YouTube account had been terminated and their video no longer available through that account. Luckily, others who really liked this video have preserved it for our continued viewing pleasure. But first the story [slim as it is] behind the video.

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.

Research Into The White Sasquatch

Some of the more interesting questions center around colors of bigfoot or sasquatch.
Anything other than brown or black is considered rare.

But I haven't found that to be true as I've gathered and explored reports both old and new.

There are many colors and hues among these beings.

John Green conducted a study of the reports he had gathered and came to this conclusion : 50% were of black or dark colored; 25% brown; 15% light colored and 8% grey.  If I'm adding right, it appears he felt only 2% had no description.

Ginseng Hunter Finds Bigfoot Evidence

On September 8th I went into an area, that I'm fairly familiar with, to explore for ginseng. Logging had taken place in one of my favorite places to ginseng hunt, so I had to go to another spot. This particular area is an area that I normally only go to a couple times a year.

This general area is also home to a handful of bigfoot sightings and track findings. I have explored the area in the past and found a few tracks and some stick formations. It is a good area, but I have two other areas that have been very active over the years and I just never had time to really go to this area very often.

On this day, I was exploring for ginseng, I had found some but it was nothing to write home about. The area is very steep and rough. Some of the steep areas have a lot of loose rock and footing is very difficult. These types of conditions tend to wear a person down sooner. I had been in the area for around 4 hours and decided to work my way back towards my truck.

Hunter Hears Possible Bigfoot Vocalizations

Our friend Guy, had a very plausible Bigfoot localization event while turkey hunting. He reported it to the BFRO but has also granted us permission to post up he event. You have probably heard Guy or I refer to this event in some of our previous post. Well, now you will get the chance to read about it in greater detail. I have also included the above google map image of the area.
