I recently got in this report from Terry. He also does some Bigfoot research and has gather some other witness testimony to help confirm one of his two sightings. These are really interesting and I hope you enjoy them.

Here is Terry's reports.

Describe sighting in detail:
 (note: BF = Bigfoot)
I was walking up a logging trail behind my my house heading up to the top of the hill. Where there is a field. I was going up to check for deer. If I saw some I was going to go back home and get my bow. In any case, as I near the top of hill and could just start to see the edge of the field, I noticed off to my left something moving. So I turned that way to see a very tall BF walking away from me. With the wind blowing my way it didn't realize I was observing it. Now since I'm looking up hill at it all I could see was it's head and neck and shoulder area. With the sky as the back drop. I saw it very well. It's head was massive. It had brownish to grayish hair. Groomed really nice. I could not see any ears. My guess is it was 8ft to 10ft tall. By the way, I was super scared as I knew it was a BF. I was so scared I remember thinking that if it turned to look at me..that I would crap my pants and pass out from fear, Lol. In any case, it took all I had to turn my back to it. Once I did I ran like hell back down the hill to the house which was only a couple hundred yards away.

Now with that said. Back in 1984 in that house...a trailer we lived in...one night we were in the house my brother and I. And all of a sudden we heard what sounded like a woman screaming right outside not far into the thickets behind the house. I went out onto the porch to listen better. And this scream was very loud from a very deep tone to very high pitched scream. And it did this over and over for at least 15 minutes. During all this screaming I went back into the house and loaded some guns. I now very much believe that scream was coming from the BF that I witnessed 2 years later.

OK with that...over the years for my own therapy doing my own BF research I come across a girl that lived on that same hill she witnessed that same BF up behind our house one day while she was picking blackberries. She told me she was picking and just looked up to see this BF standing there looking straight at her. A fear overcome her and she told me tears were just flowing from her eyes. Her mother was there too but she was just down the hill a bit and did not see the BF. In any case this girl said she was looking right at it's face. She described in pretty good detail, it matches the many other sightings people have, at least ones that have a face to face. In any case, I believe she turned to check for her mother's where about and when she turned back to where the BF was it had silently strolled off.

Now, she knowing that I had an interest in this BF, I just got a message from this woman now, today that her cousin who still lives on that same hill saw a BF the other night while he was standing outside at night. He stated it ran up hill right between where our house use to be and the house next door to him. She stated he said it scared the hell out of him.

So with that I feel confident that BF or perhaps a family of BFs still live on that hill. I can say this much I know that hill very well. And it fits as a perfect habitat...here's why....it's high up...very few houses....plenty of game including deer. The ridgeline is full of thickets no man wants to traverse. And if BF actually prefer caves, there's some of them on the backside. Also there is a creek on one side of the hill and full river on the other. There are also transmission lines running through there as well. Leaving cuts mile after mile.

With that I also had a encounter in Van Zandt county Texas ...I live in Texas now. In any case this was at night while I was out hog hunting. This thing tore down a tree near me and then skirted all around my stand as well as crawling in on its belly right up behind me. I use a starlight night scope for hog hunting but as luck would have it since it was behind me I could hardly get turned enough around in my stand to view it. But what I could see is that it was on its belly and had reached up far enough to grab a branch on the tree that was grown up tall enough that it was in front of my face. And this BF was moving that branch enough that it swaying right in front of my face. Now I'm just trying to rationalize what in the heck is going on. This went on for about 5 minutes. Being alarmed I sat back down in my stand hoping it would step out in front of me. An area I had control over since I was armed with a pistol and two rifles. But I heard it back back out the same way it came.

OK, with that the following week I shot a bore hog and placed it front of my game cam to see what all would come in on this hog.On my cam days later, I saw a coyote, buzzards, and a skinny dog. Well later at night on the cam I got pictures of the hog being rolled away from the cam and then pulled out away from the IR lights. I tried everything I could to lighten those pictures to see what might be able to do that. But didn't have much success with it. But my suspicion is that perhaps a BF on its belly was just far enough back on the ground to use its long arm to pull that hog it's way. Can't prove it. But I'm pretty positive it was not a coyote because a coyote was to small to pull it away.

Best Regards.

Thanks goes to Terry for sharing his reports with us. In some reports, I like to search from additional sightings in particular areas. I searched for reports in the same area as Terry's reports. Here is what I found.

 In Monongalia county, WV, which is the county in which the town of Booth is located, there has been one other report of Bigfoot activity. It seems a man has had several run ins with Bigfoot in this area while hunting. He tells of the unseen creature following him on a few occasions. His reports span from 1988 to 2003.

As for Terry's other report from Texas, there was one Bigfoot report from Van Zandt county. It was back in 1975. Two boys playing next to a creek seen a human looking figure covered in hair.

The additional reports can be found on the BFRO's website .

We hope to have a follow up to this post in the near future.

Thanks

UFO

A few days ago, I got in the following report. I was able to email back and forth and Mark provided the picture and some zooms he had done of the object.

Here is the report.

- Start Report -


Name: Mark ********
Email Address: On file
State Province: Ontario
County: Canada
Date of Sighting: 10/07/2015 (7/10/15)
Time of Day: 9:16 pm
Nearest Town: Sudbury
Length of Sighting: 5 min  then I left the area
How many Witnesses: 1
Any Photos/Videos: 1
Describe sighting in detail:

Observation made from a parking lot East end of the city of Sudbury, On, Canada. Clear sky, sun was setting. I viewed an object that appeared to hover in the distance silently.

It caught my eye as it looked out of place. I watched it for 5 min as it made no movement. I asked an individual in the parking lot to verify what I saw. They thought it was weird and had no idea what it could be. Before I left the area I snapped one pic with my Samsung s4 cell phone.

When I arrived at home, I uploaded the picture to my PC. I was surprised when I viewed the pic zoomed in. It had the appearance of a concession of possible lights along what looks like an elongated body. I'm not sure what to make of it. Take a look for your self ...is it an illusion, trick of light or something more?

- End Report -

The very top photo was provided by Mark. I just added the circle and the TCC tag. Here is a couple of the zoom mark did of the photo.



This is a zoom in done by Mark of the object.












Here is another zoom done my Mark. There does seem to be some type of object sitting in the sky.






I also did a zoom myself and zoomed in even closer to the object. Here is that photo.




As you can see there is something there, just kind of hanging in mid air.


So just what is this object?








Thanks to Mark for sending in his sighting and the photos. If anyone else seen or took picture of this object that day, feel free to contact us.


Thanks

General map of area

I got this report in a few days ago. The sighting took place in Canada and the submitter thinks it might have been a Thunderbird. Here is the report.

- Start Report -

Name: Claudio ******
Email Address: On file
State: Canada
County:
Date of Sighting: Between June and August 2010
Time of Day: Morning
Nearest Town: Ottawa
Length of Sighting: 2 minutes
How many Witnesses: 1
Any Photos/Videos: no
Describe sighting in detail:

I remember waking up one morning and looking out the balcony and seeing this giant black bird flying at a very high altitude.

I have a good trained eye for birds and can recognize most of them on the spots. It was definitely much bigger than any vulture or eagle, I would say approximately between 4 to 6 meters (approx. 20 foot) in length. It was heading South, flying steady. I had a camera near me but was so shocked that I didn't think of picking it up.

I later looked up online and found out what I saw matched exactly other reports of the Thunderbird.

- End Report -

Thanks goes to Claudio for sending in the report. If anyone else has seen a possible Thunderbird then please sent it in to us.

Thanks

Area where creature was seen. (photo provided by Corey and Tye)

Over the weekend, I got in this report of a possible sighting of a Shunka Warakin. For those who may not know, the Shunka Warakin is a wolf/hyena type creature mostly reported out west.

Here is the report.

- Start Report -

Name: Corey ******
Email Address: On file
State: Iowa
County: Van Buren
Date of Sighting: July 2,2015
Time of Day: 10 pm
Nearest Town: Bentonsport
Length of Sighting: 15-30 minutes
How many Witnesses: myself and Tye
Any Photos/Videos: none
Describe sighting in detail:

It was around 10 pm, Tye and I saw what we thought was a coyote coming out of the brush across from us along the edge of the field and raised its head high as it watched us before going back in.

Then it reappeared in the lower part of the field and we thought it was a coyote by the way it was trotting. It kept coming towards us and didn't seem to have any fear of us. We hurried down along the edge of the field to have a closer look of it. We got at least a couple of hundred yards with our spotlights on it the whole way and we could see it was a very large canine. It sometimes raised its head high to look at us which was 3 or 4 times. It had pointed ears and was grayish tan. I'm guessing it stood at least 4 feet or so high at the head, Tye thought it stood on its hind legs but I think it just raised its head.

Dr. Ian Stevenson, (1918 to 2007) head of the Division of Perceptual Studies at The University of Virginia.

If you believe we've lived past lives, or are just curious, you might want to try following the
career of the late Ian Stevenson, the Canadian born psychiatrist and head of the Division of Perceptual Studies at the University of Virginia for nearly 40 years. He was studying and documenting thousands of cases of past life accounts. And in that span of time, managed to build a pretty strong case for the phenomenon.


But what has been even more astounding is that subjects often physically resembled some of
those individuals from a past life. And it came to be recognized as a possible clue of a past life, even
though the resemblances didn't consistently occur in all subjects. But when they did, the resemblances were often uncanny; almost eerie. And sometimes family and other associations could be found to support some of these cases. And it soon became part of the framework in which
Dr. Stevenson did his work.


You can find out more about Dr. Stevenson's studies here: Reincarnation Physical Resemblance
But it's also interesting to note that these resemblances are still being found on a regular basis
around the world. And some of them are being considered and studied by child psychiatrist, Dr. JimTucker, who is continuing Dr. Stevenson's work.


But check out some compelling photos of known people from the present time and their
possible past-life counterparts. Are these just coincidences or is there a correlation? You decide.

Sometimes, when we start working a claim or case, we get to a dead end for various reasons.
This does not necessarily mean the person was untruthful or trying to pull a fast one. We have had people attempt to hoax us and I guess that is just part of the field.

Often times, we get sent photos or someone will send in a report and they are looking or asking for help with their mystery. In some cases we are able to help. Take for instants some recent photos sent to us by Nancy. Nancy, has some large birds on her property and they are causing some damage and attacking some of the critters. Of course, knowing Iowa has some history of Thunderbird sightings and that these birds on Nancy's property were large, we had hopes that maybe, just maybe it was Thunderbirds.

Here is one of Nancy's Photos

One of a few photos that Nancy sent us.

Team member Leon Drew, talked with Nancy on the phone and got more details about the birds and property. We were then thinking these birds could be vultures, and even Nancy thought they could be, but vultures normally do not attack living critters. But buzzard on the other hand, also called chicken hawks, do attack critters, and they are pretty large, so these large birds on Nancy's property could be buzzards. There was also a fairly recent report of a condor being seen in Iowa. Plus the picture quality was not that great due to how it was taken, which couldn't be helped, and we really can't identify the birds for sure until a better photo is taken.

Nancy's neighbor also had a mystery. He had this odd looking round things with a hole in them, laying on the ground. This photo was sent in.

I will admit, it is a weird looking thing. I didn't know what it was ....but I did find out.
I did some searching on the internet and found out this is the fruit of a Osage orange tree. The fruit is edible but it has a unpleasant taste. It is also called a horse apple. It is said that the fruit is a natural insect repellant. I found some good information and my info at 2 dope sistahs blog.

Of course this is only a couple of examples but other times we run down leads and they just don't pan out or the evidence is just not there to support the claim. Then on other cases we reach an end and just need to wait for another clue to keep going.

I have had several cases where someone would send me photos and claimed Bigfoot was standing in the background but it was nothing more than a shadow or just cases of pareidolia. We still have to check this stuff out and understand it is just part of the field. Often times, these types of reports are not posted. 

Not too long ago, we had someone trying to pull a fast one on us. It was a story about a Gorilla photo from the United Kingdom. We were able to filter out this story and expose it as a fake. The person who sent it in may have been taken in as well. I do wish other websites would attempt to filter some of their stories, as some of them will publish anything to get a few clicks. Oh well, what can you do.

I just thought I'd share a few of the cases, where it just didn't pan out. The cases are fun to work, even if they don't pan out sometimes or we get stuck and have to wait on the next clue. Thanks goes to Nancy for sharing her photos and stories with us. Thanks also goes to Leon Drew for his help.

Thanks

Over the many years of doing Bigfoot and UFO research, I have met some good people, who when they run into something that might be of interest, send it to me.

That is the case with these old documents. This friend is normally doing various research of some kind very often. Well, in their searching they ran across these now declassified documents from the CIA. These documents deal with UFOs. Not UFOs from another planet, but UFOs that were made here.

What I find interesting is that this was back in the 50's. If the documents are in deed honest and not a forgery by the CIA or propaganda, then it could be safe to assume that many, if not all, of the UFOs being seen are not from another planet but are OURS.

Lets look at some of the details in the documents.

I think this could be the general area.

I got this report in a couple days ago. This possible sighting is only a little over a month old, so it is pretty fresh. In the map picture above I have used the available information from the report to attempt to find the location. I'm not sure if this is the exact spot or not.
Here is the report.

- Start Report -

Name: Donna ******

Email Address: On File

State: Tennessee

County: Shelby (I think)

Date of Sighting: June 1, 2015

Time of Day: early or middle afternoon

Nearest Town: Bolton

Length of Sighting: a few seconds

How many Witnesses: 1

Any Photos/Videos: photo of possible footprint a couple of days later

Describe sighting in detail:

I'm a 63 yr. old perfectly sane and normal grandmother of two. I live in a small southern town near Memphis, TN.

On June 1, 2015 myself, my daughter and granddaughter were on our way to Memphis on a shopping trip. We were in my Ford Edge and my daughter was driving. My granddaughter was in the front passenger seat and I was in the back seat behind the driver's seat. We turned off highway 14 onto I think it's Brunswick Rd. (it's just a kind of a shortcut to the Wolfchase mall in Germantown). It goes through the small communities of Bolton and Brunswick. I was just looking out the window as we talked. When we turned off the highway to Brunswick Rd. (I think that's the name of the rd.) we pass a field.

The boundaries around the field are grown up with trees and shrubs and grass and you can't see the field from the car except at a small entry driveway the farmer uses to get in. As we passed the driveway that day I saw in the middle of this open field something tall and black. It looked unnatural to me. I just saw it for a couple of seconds but I knew it was something I couldn't identify. I whispered to myself "What the heck was that!" I now could kick myself for not telling my daughter to stop and back up so I could look again. I finally decided it was a burned tree trunk but honestly I really didn't believe that. I saw this in broad daylight (about early or middle afternoon). It was something tall and black and it was in the middle of the open field. It was stationary.  I could see the small plants of Milo or corn (hard to tell the difference when it's just inches tall) around the bottom of it. It was black from top to bottom.

It was dark by the time we headed home and we took a different route but I had a doctor's appointment the next day in Memphis so I drove by the field again to see if there was a burned tree trunk in the field. The tall black thing was gone. I knew then I had seen something unusual. Because I could not get this off my mind I ask my husband to go with me to the field to see if we could find footprints.

We walked around the field and I believe I found a large bare footprint. At least to me it looks like a footprint with toe impressions. I just felt the need to tell this to someone. I took a picture of the impression with my cell phone. I also saw other impressions I believe to be footprints but were not quite as clear. There were a lot of deer tracks in the field and there are thick woods  that surround it except on the road side. There is a good size creek near the field and down the road going the opposite direction.

I walked to the back of the field and walked down the tree line. Just saw deer tracks and a few dog or coyote tracks. No feeling about the tree line until I got to a certain point and I suddenly got a creepy feeling. I looked up and didn't see my husband because he had gone over the hill and out of sight. I walked back to the middle of the field where I could see my husband again. I wanted to stay and look longer and asked my husband to walk to the woods where I got the creepy feeling to see if he got the same feeling but he wouldn't because it was a little distance and he was ready to go. We left but I know I'm going back to that field again.

I don't know when I'll get back there and I have no idea who that land belongs to but I just feel like I have to go back and look more........Well that's my story and don't know what good it does to tell it but I just felt the need to do so. Thanks for listening.

- End Report -

I have attempted contact with Donna, in an effort to get the possible track photo. I have not got a reply yet, if I can obtain the photo I will update this post with it.

Thanks goes to Donna for sharing her possible sighting. If anyone else in that area has seen a possible Bigfoot, then please feel free to contact us.

Thanks
