There is much talk concerning what the military knows about bigfoot. Here's one story that caught my eye.

This was reported in the Potomac News on January 17, 1977, where they published a long article about the incidents.

"Much had been written about the monster at the ammunition storage area at Quantico Marine Corps Base..." but yet the paper did not print much. I assume that they were also referring to the reports made by civilians in the surrounding areas of the base.

It is said that there have been reports of a creature in and around the base going back at least 50 years. (which has been designated at "The ASA Monster" -- ammunition storage area -- by the base officials). While there may be many people and much activity on most of the base, it is worth noting that if you look across Rt. 1, you see the Prince William State Forest.

We can't resist sharing more stories of bigfoot and water. This is an aspect of the creature that makes so much sense and many don't consider it. But then again, many do. These stories are for you.

Bob Titmus happened to be in the Butedale area of British Columbia bigfoot hunting by boat out of Klemtu when he heard about this alleged sighting in July 1965. The shore worker who reported the encounter enjoyed recreational fishing and was lucky enough to have his own outboard boat. His friend also had a boat and the two of them usually met and went out together. On this particular day, the friend wasn't able to leave as early as the shore worker, so they decided to each take their own boat and meet later.

The island is a large one that faces the mainland across a narrow channel of the inside passage. There is also a small island near the mainland shore in front of the village where the two men liked to fish on the far side of the small island.

Time for another Mountain Monsters bigfoot. This one comes from season four. The Stonish Giant of Hamilton County, Ohio.

Once again the AIMS team plunged into Native American legends to find a name for a bigfoot to hunt. There are many stories of giants, hairy men, giant hairy men, and other various hair-covered creatures in Native legends. The Stonish Giant, as far as I can tell, is a legend of giant men and not necessarily hair covered.

There are similar stories of Stonish Giants told in several different tribes. A common theme is they were an ancient tribe that lived in the wilderness. It is said that they would roll in the mud or sand, covering their bodies. They would then let it dry, forming a second skin on them, making them resemble stone. And so the name, Stonish Giants.

On May 26, 1996, Owen Pate, his wife, and five friends had a strange encounter while on a camping trip.

Actually, the Pate's sighting was not the only report of seeing a bigfoot that month. The first sighting was a few days before the 26th when a fisherman was sitting, eating his lunch. He had the feeling of being watched. Looking up he could see something in the distance that appeared to be looking his way. He grabbed his binoculars for a better view. Watching him at his lunch was a large hairy creature. He estimated it to be around 7 ft tall.

The second sighting was the one that involved the Pates. A woman saw a figure running down the mountainside and watched it as it disappeared into the trees at the bottom. She called Owen Pate and told him what she had seen. When he got there, the creature emerged from the bushes at the fence line. The fence was 5 ft high. He estimated the creature to be around 6 1/2 to 7 ft tall and very wide at the shoulders.
