Okay, so today I just surfing around the internet ....just looking for something cool I might want to share..and I ran across a set of videos on youtube. These videos are supposedly the "The clearest images of bigfoot ever".  So, Let have a look

Video 1


Okay, so I'm sure you know that almost all of the pictures presented in video 1 are confirmed fakes. One of the pictures belongs to Jeff Yelek, it is the exception in this video presentation. We actually featured a post and a video with Jeff and Theresa Yelek, you can find it by Clicking Here.
The Yelek Bigfoot photo is very interesting. It was taken in Colorado, best I can remember. 
Now on to video 2


Okay, there are some I have not seen before and there are some repeats from video 1. A couple of the pictures are from movies and then one is from Todd Standing....so meh on that.

Now lets look at video 3


Again, a couple interesting ones and then several known fakes. I think part of the problem with trying to convince people that bigfoot is an actual living breathing creature is the fact that there are just so many fakes out there. But this could be the plan, to flood the field with hoaxes and fakes to keep the majority of people from taking the subject seriously. To make people doubt the REAL pictures and videos of bigfoot.

So, what do you think about some of the pictures presented in the videos? Are there any you like and think may be real ? If so let us know.



Thanks

Not actual photo, used for reference only.

Today, I was treated to several stories and reports about bigfoot. One of which I have permission to share with our readers. This possible sighting took place here in Kentucky back in October of 2012.
The area of the sighting is one that I'm fairly familiar with, as it is a location I have been in before.

Here is what Tony told me about the event:

Over the years, I have taken in many reports and stories of bigfoot taking various items. Everything from apples to hogs. I have even heard a few reports of chickens being taken, so the following report of missing chickens is not too surprising. But there is more to the story, that includes a visual encounter.

Once again, the submitter wants the area and his identity to remain anonymous. Some may not understand this, but I can assure you that talking about bigfoot openly will get you many weird looks and a few "what are you on?" comments. As for not disclosing a location I also understand that as well. There are people who might come to your area and disrupt the bigfoot in some way and cause the activity to stop. While this report is older, there seems to be continuing activity in the area, according to what I was told. With that said, I can tell you that this event happened in Oklahoma.

Here is the report and what the submitter had to say about this particular encounter.

- Start Report -      


"This took place around 1985. My dad and mother were at my grandparents eating dinner. This house was outside of a town of around 50 people.

They had finished dinner and mom was walking out the door first and something ran by her very fast and very large. Keep in mind they were standing on a porch that was around 4 foot tall and mom is 5'4.

She said this thing was a reddish brown and unbelievably fast. She fell back into my dad at which the whole group was laughing but not mom. She said there was something out there. Dad was being a normal man and told mom he would protect her and went out dragging her behind.

Then from the light of one of the windows in the house he saw something squatting behind a large pine tree in the front. It was swaying. He immediately shoved mom back in the house and grabbed the shotgun they left by the door. He went back out and it was gone.

He and mom ran to the car and left. The rest of the night my grandparents heard strange vocalizations and screams. My grandpa was saying it was a mountain lion because he was always the skeptic, until he saw it one day far in the future.

Also, their chicken house had a large hole through the wire and 2 chickens were missing."

- End Report -

If you thank about it a little bit, chickens sitting on their roost would be easy pickings for a bigfoot or any predator. Bigfoot is very much an opportunist. There are several reports of bigfoot taking a hunter's fresh deer kill or of a bigfoot scooping up road kill.

Once again, I thank the person who submitted this interesting encounter to me. To my knowledge, this report has never been filed or published before now. It is also good when someone comes forward with encounters that have never been reported. It adds more history and gives all of us another chance to learn more details about bigfoot and it gives us another story to talk about. 


Thanks

This is a sighting/encounter report that was recently sent to me. At the request of the witness I will not disclose the actual location of the encounter, but will just let you know it took place in Oklahoma.
A family had went on a hunting trip up in the mountains and a bigfoot came to their camping area.

Here is the report as it was told to me by the witness/relative.

"They (The group) pulled a camper up on a mountain to hunt. It had recently been clear cut. Brian (my uncle) got back early from the hunt. They had a generator but with the full moon he didn't need the lights, just the stove, and he was hungry. The moon was full and the window in front of the stove had been broken. They had put an old tarp that had a few small holes in it over it (the window).

 He was frying some bologna and he said that everything just went dark. And he heard breathing. He thought the rest of the family had snuck in and was trying to scare him Cuz he was only 16. He tried to look out the tarp to see who it was and started telling them he wasn't falling for it. He noticed the silhouette against the moon. It was massive, easily taller than the trailer.

 At this point he panicked. He went for his muzzleoader and  it was one of the old ones you had to put a cap on. He recalls shaking so badly he couldn't get it on. As he was trying to put the cap on, a large finger came inside the tarp (through one of the holes), curled and pulled it (the tarp) off. He turned on the lights and two eyes, he said, were far too far apart to be human, were reflecting back at him.

He stuck the gun as close as he dared and told it he was gonna shoot and thought if it was a man that would have scared him off. He said it blinked and stayed there. It started rocking and shaking the trailer and then just left. 

Well, at this time my family was driving down the road towards the trailer. They all agree, as soon as the lights hit the trailer, Brian crashed through the trailer door and was sprinting to the car. He actually jumped in an open window screaming there was a demon and not to go back there. He made them take him home. The next day they got to the trailer the bologna was gone and dents where in the top of the trailer."

- End Report -  

This happened in the early 1980's according to what I was told. I for one sure can not blame ol bigfoot for getting after that fried bologna. Fried bologna is one of my favorites. I also understand not wanting to give away the exact location of this report. I have seen it all too many times, where someone gives the location of a sighting and the wrong people go in there and try to hunt one or something.

So, I will just say thanks to the "person" who sent in this report. I enjoyed it.


Thanks

Photo used for reference only, not an actual photo of the sighting.

Over the last couple of years I have received several sighting reports of possible Shunka Warakin sightings in Iowa. The Shunka Warakin is an animal mentioned in American folklore that is said to resemble a wolf, a hyena, or both. There is one mounted specimen from back in 1886, that was reportedly shot by by Ammon Hutchins. But many still that doubt the Shunka Warkin was ever a real creature or little alone that there were any remaining today. But yet we still get reports.

I recently got a report of a possible Shunka Warakin sighting in Oklahoma. While that is a pretty long way from Iowa, the one that was shot in 1886 by Hutchings was in Montana. So, maybe they have a particular route they travel and maybe they are more widespread than we think.


Here is the report.

- Start Report -

Name: KD
(This report comes from someone I will just call KD, to protect his identity.)

Here is what KD told me.

"I was just gonna send you a message regarding a sighting my father seen along with his mother, father, and brother in a truck heading home one night. They were heading home from a function in Summerfield, Oklahoma. It's very rural and we are all avid hunters. My grandpa seen eyes in a field next to the road and thought it may be a buck. Dad said he slowed down for it to cross and then this thing took one jump and landed in the middle of the road.

He remembers my grandfather, who is a very religious man along with my grandmother, say what in the hell is that. They all said it was hyena like in appearance but also shaggy like a wolf with a long tail. It's back was dipped and it was large and it looked at the truck for around 3 second in the headlights. It then took one jump and was in the woods.

This was a wide dirt road easily accommodating 2 large trucks both ways. The distance from the field to the road was around 80 feet is what they estimated. They never hunted that part again and grandpa told dad not to go that far behind the house alone again.

I seen a story you put up on the net while searching for a similar sighting and seen the one in Iowa. And the creature killed in Montana that was mounted. Dad said it was close but the one they seen had way taller shoulders and was hunched in the back end. I just thought since there aren't many reports I would throw one your way. This would have been the early to mid 1970s."

- End Report -

Thanks goes to KD for submitting his report to me. In his report he mentioned a couple of the sightings I have posted in the past. I will not link to them, in case you want to catch up on those reports.
Shunka Warakin in Iowa Report
Another Shunka Warakin Sighting
Another Sighting with possible Track


While the report that KD submitted is older, the other ones are much more recent, within the last few years. So, has this rare creature been out there the whole time and the population is growing and leading to more sightings? It could be possible. Hopefully, someone will be able to capture a video or picture of this creature.


Thanks

This is a great local event that is gaining visitors from all over, and I hope you can attend. This area also has a lot of bigfoot sightings and reports and is a county in which I conduct bigfoot research. I have been invited to be a guest at this event several times, but for one reason or another I can't seem to do it. This year I may at least be able to go to the event and take in some of the sightings and events...I didn't want to commit to being a guest and then have to cancel due to something coming up. If all goes well, I might actually get to go this year, wish be luck, and hope to see you there.


Thanks
