General Area - Chenoa, Ky

Where: Chenoa, KY (Bell County)
When: Fall of 1982
Witnesses: 2
Creature: 8 foot Tall, Ape like, Red Eyes
Description:
 2 Boys were walking home after playing basketball. It was just before it got dark. They seen large red glowing eyes on the edge of the tree line.  The Bigfoot was peeking from behind a tree about 15 to 20 ft away on the edge of the tree line.-  The boys described the creature as appox. 8 ft tall and looking like a human ape mix.
Follow-up investigation report by BFRO Investigator Harold Benny:
"I talked to the witness by phone and found him to be credible. His short narrative hints at his story. About dusk, the witness was walking home with a friend after playing basketball. Fifteen to twenty feet off into the woods and standing behind a tree was an eight foot tall creature with both human and ape characteristics. Even though it was not yet dark, the animal's eyes were glowing red. Watching for twenty or more seconds the witness noticed several things:
1.) Most of the face was covered in dark fur, but black skin surrounded the deep set eyes.
2.) Ears were visible and were lighter in color.
3.) The long arms hung down to the knees and ended with large black hands about five times the size of human hands. The witness got the feeling that this impressive creature could not be harmed.

Late Summer, early Fall. 1971
Azalea, Oregon
4 P.M. or close on a Saturday. The weather was mild.

Two young men were hunting quail or grouse, whichever they could find at the time, when they noticed a smell that was described as skunk and rotting cabbage combined. They scanned the hillside because of the smell and seen nothing but normal things.
At that time a large Bigfoot/Sasquatch stood up from behind a three foot wide stump! They were frozen in fear as the creature tore up the hillside at a pace no human nor bear could have possibly gone. According to the main witness there was a minute of visual of the creature before it disappeared into the woods.
Every step it took footfalls were heard. Then stated he could hear it for several minutes after it was out of sight thrashing, breaking trees and brush down in its way. He described the creature as a 9 foot tall and as wide as the stump it was hiding behind (3 feet), dark brown or black hair not fur. He thought it was going to the farm/beaver pond for a drink or for food. Abundant with trout and other species for food.
He also stated that calves and chickens had been taken without a trace. One cow had been killed but was found before anything had fed on it.

Bill has never returned to that area, nor would he leave the house without a rifle in hand just in case. He no longer resides in there.
No tracks or photos available.
Elevation 2062
GPS 42.82579N. 123.05904W.


Thanks, Bobby.

Over the last week or so we have been looking and thinking more about stick formations, so I was happy when I got a new stick teepee photo in my email. The person who send it wants to remain anonymous. The photo of the stick teepee was taken in Tennessee.

Here is the photo

The meaning of this type of stick formation is really unknown and range from directions markers to warnings.
The person who sent me this also has some other bigfoot activity in the area in the form of wood knocks.

Thanks

Some of you may know that today I was filming with Fire Horse Films for a upcoming TV show on MAVTV . The name of the upcoming series is Americas Oddities .

I didn't get to take very many photos but we all had a good time. I do not know the exact date the show will be airing but will try to post it once I find out. While they were here we also hiked up to Chain Rock at Pine Mountain State Park.

Here is some photos

Billy & Tim about ready to start

and here is a little video I made

It was fun and I hope the show is a big hit.
Thanks

A few years ago a man I go to church with told an interesting story at church about a "creature" he seen as a young man, at the time I said to myself  "it sounds like a bigfoot to me"....well I finally got to do a face to face interview with him and ask him about the encounter. This sighting took place in bell county, Kentucky, which is where I have lived most of my life (AKA- Blackmont, Tugglesville, Alva or blacksnake).This sighting is less than a half of mile from where I live now.

Here is the interview with C. Howard.

TCC : You remember that time you told the story at church about seeing something on night going home?
CH : yeah....it was right along here.
TCC: can you tell me more about it?
CH: well I had got a ride home from being up Pathfork and I was let me off right about there (points to a house next to his current house on the main road on hwy 72)...it was pretty late at night. I walked over this way (points to right were we were standing doing the interview, this is a road that leads back to where some houses use to be up a hollow but now is a old strip mine) . They used to be a swinging bridge here and we had to cross it to get to the house.

CH: Well, I started across the bridge and got almost half way and I noticed something over to the left ......it was 2 big red glowing eyes.(He points to a small stream that feeds into the main creek)


TCC: could you tell how tall or how high the eyes were off the ground?
CH: No ..it was hard to tell because I was up on the bridge.
TCC: what happen next?

CH: I was scared and ran on across the bridge and once to the other side I ran on towards the house.

TCC: what happen to the thing you saw?
CH: It was chasing me! It was a pretty good ways up to the house and once I got there I ran into the house...I don't know what I would have done if the door had been locked.



TCC: well do you think this was a dog or something?
CH: no it wasn't a dog.
TCC: do you think it was something running on all fours?
CH: On no....it wasn't running like a dog or anything....it was running on 2 feet and it was big.
TCC: sound like it could have been a bigfoot.
CH: It was scary...I was scared to death.
TCC: about how long ago was this, what year?
CH: well I was young....a teenager.. it was scary..that was in 40's.(TCC- this area had been an old mining camp that used push carts to move coal, and folks lived and worked there.)
TCC: well sometimes bigfoots stay in an area for a long time...I might come down and look around some if you don't care?
CH: yeah...that be fine.

Then I told him I had to run and we exchanged goodbyes and I left.


TCC says:  This could have very well been a bigfoot, it could have been next to the creek drinking water or trying to catch crawfish or fish...This person is a truthful person and we believe his story.

The Crypto Crew's Bobby and Corinna Long recently found a possible bigfoot track way. They have now went back to the area and cast one of the tracks.
Here are the photos from the casting.


Here it is after they got the cast home.

looks to be about 13 inches long and about 6 inches wide.


There was a bunch of pine needles in the area so the cast has a ton of pine needles in it. After a little cleaning I'm sure it will look even better. There's not a whole lot of detail in the track but it's still pretty cool.


Thanks

UPDATE: I forgot to tell everyone these were found in South Caroline. The land has lots of deer and has a lake on each side of it.

I was contacted by some friends, who I will not name, and they had found some odd stick structures on their property. This is private land and it is kind of set back and out of the way from my understanding.
They sent me 3 photos of these formations and it appears that something has made these and that it is not just a natural tree breakage and landing.
Could they be having bigfoot activity on their property? What do you guys think?

Photo 1

Photo 2


photo 3


Maybe some of this could be just a natural occurring formations but I kind of doubt it. If these types of formations are made by bigfoot, what do they mean?

Some theories suggest that formations like this are either directions markers, territorial markers or possibly warnings.
I wonder if some of these, especially photo 3, are made by juvenile bigfoot our of boredom.
Some have ask if any tracks have been found on the property and to my knowledge none have been found but I do not think a wide search has been conducted yet.

I just wanted to share these and see if anyone had much to say about them. Have any of you other researchers found similar formations? if so let me know.


Thanks

This is a recent report sent to me, I have withheld the last name and included a map of the general area. -Tom

Name: Corey ****(Last Name withheld but on file)
State: Iowa
County: Van Buren
Date of Sighting: July 4,2008
Time of Day: around 3 pm
Nearest Town: Keosauqua
Length of Sighting: about 15 minutes
How many Witnesses: 3 others besides myself
Any Photos/Videos: no

Describe sighting in detail:
I truly believe Thunderbirds are migrating up and down the Des Moines River in Iowa. I am an experienced bird watcher and have a trained eye for detail and have seen over 300 species in my county. In December 2006, 2 big birds were seen by bridge construction workers and she described them as very dark with some white on the wings and were twice as big as a bald eagle and I tried convincing a woman that they were golden eagles but she quickly said no as she was very familiar with eagles. However sometime after that she changed them to the golden eagle. I watched for them but no luck.

However, on July 4,2008 I was fishing on the other side of the river from Keosauqua during the afternoon and I saw a large dark bird flapping with hard and deep beats for a long distance down the river and I thought an osprey or bald eagle because of the long crooked wings when it glided for a short distance. I watched it with my 16x50 binoculars as it flew down the river and it started soaring around in circles and to my surprise was a turkey vulture but it was different. It resembled a turkey vulture but it had a large head not small head, broader tail and much broader wings but it had the silvery wing feathers. Its flight pattern was different and it must have been a heavy bird with all the deep flapping. A turkey vulture rarely does and soars more and when they glide they hold their wings in a V and this bird glided with crooked wings as I mistook it for an osprey which are rare here in summer but bald eagles are nesting along this river. I didn't have a camera and only binoculars. I was fishing with 3 other guys but they didn't pay much attention to it.

A large bird was sighted recently in Illinois resembled a turkey vulture but twice as big.
A large black bird was reported in Central Iowa around the same time as the big birds down here on December 13,2007. I am very confident that the bird I saw was no ordinary turkey vulture. There is an Indian thunderbird symbol in Lacey-Keosauqua State Park.

Thanks goes to Corey for sending in the report.

Move over Rick Dyer, there's a new Freezer in Town!

Li Kai sparked an internet frenzy when he posted a series of pictures of the interred dead creature.
But he was unmasked as a master hoaxer when police picked apart his extraordinary story.
Li, from Binzhou in the Shangdong province, wrote a lengthy account on Sino Weibo – China’s equivalent of Facebook – about his extra-terrestrial finding.
He told how he stumbled across the ‘electrocuted’ martian in late March after he followed a string of UFOs along China’s Yellow River.
He claimed he spotted five aliens – and one even crashed to the ground and hit a high voltage rabbit trap - which Li had put in place.
Li said he collected the corpse and drove home and preserved the body in his freezer.

It's a little funny how the guy made it have a vagina and put it in plain view. Do aliens have vagina's?
Then you have to really look at the "alien", it don't even look real and people fell for it? At least the 2008 dead bigfoot story looked pretty good but this looks like a group of first graders made it.

Oh well, fun in China.

Thanks

Not Actual Horse that was killed, just used for reference

By TCC Team Member Dorraine Fisher
Professional Writer, a nature and wildlife enthusiast who has written for many magazines.




Butler County, Ohio has been the recent scene of some disturbing livestock mutilations. Two miniature horses named Blaze and Buck were found hacked to death last week on a stretch of pasture near what is known as Springfield Road situated near the Indiana state line. They had been known to be missing since May 23.

The owners Augustin and Yolanda Gama-Martinez, said their children were playing near the fence where the animals were found when they said they smelled something awful. They found one of the bodies intact, while the other’s head was found some 30 yards from the body.

Incidentally, this is very near the same spot where, on May 9, four sheep were found hacked to death, along with four more sheep and two other horses that were severely injured. Outside investigators have been trying to get more information on the incidents but no one close to the situation is talking much.

The partially decomposed bodies of the two horses left no clue as to how they actually died. Local law enforcement is obviously stumped and claiming it was probably coyotes, but local residents aren’t convinced. And some are convinced it’s more likely the work of some disturbed human(s).

Brittany Kolb, 27, who’s sheep were killed last month claimed there has been no problems with coyotes in the area. She believes whatever killed her sheep is also responsible for these killings. The rest of her animals that were injured by stab wounds at that time, received care, and are now recovering. Since these incidents, she is boarding her animals at another location.

Since the bodies were described as being hacked or having stab wounds and the bodies did not appear to have been eaten, also deflects from the coyote theory. Kolb said, "(The wounds) are pretty wide, very deep, like you can put your hand in them." She also said she originally believed the wounds may have been inflicted by an axe or hatchet. Though some have claimed over the years that coyotes kill "for the fun of killing," they don’t generally inflict stab wounds and sever heads from their bodies without great difficulty. And even if coyotes didn’t eat their prey, something else most surely would, especially if the animals had been lying dead for a while.

At any rate, it has everyone in this normally quiet rural area spooked. Children are being severely restricted in their outside play time, and pets are being kept under watch also. And the incidents may remain a mystery indefinitely and leave the local residents disturbed for a long time to come.

"We’ve had animals for eight years in that field," Kolb said. "And never had a problem with coyotes, and so have these people. Now all of a sudden, they have dead horses. It’s pretty ironic to me." *******DF

Special thanks to Philip Spencer for relaying this story.
