Art by me If you follow along with me on this and other platforms, you know I enjoy researching and posting older news and encounters. Today’s post is from the Bigfoot Casebook, which did a good job collecting a lot of sighting reports from all over, from other researchers as well. Here is one of those encounters… “A 30-year-old police officer, Verlin Herrington, encountered a Bigfoot at 2:35 a.m. on Sunday 26 July 1969. He was himself a deputy sheriff for Gray’s Harbor County, Washington State, and at the time was driving home on the Deekay Road in the direction of Copalis Beach. As he rounde ..read more

“Valentine visitor frightens woman and her dog in Carmel New York! On February 14th a young woman was taking her German Shepherd for his nightly walk around 10 pm and had quite a surprise. They stepped outside and her watchdog suddenly froze and tucked his tail between his legs and started whining to get back inside. She had heard something breaking branches in the wood line and quickly went back into the house. The following morning she decided to investigate what was happening on her property. They had gotten 12″ of snow and she was shocked to see large human like tracks going through her b ..read more

Picture by me Point Isabel, Ohio, Fall 1968 Hearing a sound outside the farmhouse Larry Abbott, his father and a relative, Arnold Hubbard, went outdoors to look. Then, from the opposite side of the house, they heard a rustling of weeds. Grabbing a flashlight they saw a “monster” rising from the tall brush about 50 ft away. It was walking toward them, and appeared to be about 10 ft tall and about 4 ft across the shoulders. Its arms were long, like an ape’s. In the flashlight beam the monster’s hairy body was a beige color; its eyes glowed over a nose that was beyond Larry’s ability to describe ..read more

“The First time Jim Spink lived by himself in Florida’s Everglades in search of Bigfoot, he stayed six months. He purchased equipment at a flea market. His camera didn’t have a Flash attachment.. -Now Jim Spink is a tax-exempt nonprofit organization, duly certified by the Internal Revenue Service. And the next time he lives in the Eyerglades, he figures the National Science Feundation can provide him with $21,780 in infra-red camera equipment so he can take Bigfoot’s picture. Spink is an unusual man. So is Bigloot (or the Skunk Ape), if he is real. Spink is for real. Spink is a perpetual juni ..read more

In 1673 French explorers going down the Mississippi River they noticed a painting on the rocks as they went by, in father Jacques Marquette’s journal he wrote the following; “…while skirting some rocks, which by their height and length inspired awe, we saw upon one of them two painted monsters which at first made us afraid, and upon which the boldest savages dare not long rest their eyes…they are as large as a calf; they have horns on their heads like those of a deer, a horrible look, red eyes, a beard like a tiger’s, a face somewhat like a man’s, a body covered with scales, and so long a tai ..read more

European colonialism had a profound impact on the forests and wildlife of the New World. The colonizers brought with them a deep-seated fear of the unknown, which manifested itself in many ways, including a fear of the wild forest, wolves, and superstitions of the unknown forest. The colonizers viewed the forest as a dark and dangerous place, full of unknown dangers and lurking predators. They saw the forest as a place of darkness and evil, where the devil himself might be lurking. This fear was compounded by the presence of wolves, which were seen as vicious and bloodthirsty predators that w ..read more

One night I was doing patrol ops in the woods/hills and we decided to take a pause. It was around 3am we were taking a break. It was during a wargame and I was on watch. Holding security we were seeing an outline in the woods and meanwhile we are sleep deprived not thinking we were seeing real things in the tree line till we till we talked to each other to confirm what we were seeing through our nods. Pebbles were being thrown at us and we were confused and thinking we were about to be run up on by Opfor (Opposition Force). So we wake up our guys slowly thinking we’re about to be ambushed. Tu ..read more

On the night of July 26, 1895, in the Delaware County resort town of Margaretville, Peter Thomas was driving a team of horses on a lone road when a “wild-eyed man or ape” stood in the road ahead. Thomas said the creature had “long and hairy arms” and was “uttering a raucous, inarticulate cry.” He said the creature twisted the neck of one of his horses before dragging it into the darkness. The creature was “seven feet high, of human shape, covered with hair.” The next day, local farmer John Cook said he shot “a ferocious ape-like being,” before it grabbed him and threw him to the ground. The w ..read more

I just saw the craziest thing! It had like this beak and like, web feet! And that tail! If the description was changed to tall and hairy we’d all be thinking bigfoot. But, that was probably close to what a person said about this creature around the 1700s. The platypus was once a cryptid itself, witnesses described this creature but no one had a body until 1799 when English zoologist George Shaw was delivered one. His first thought was it must be a hoax, and was quoted with “It naturally excites the idea of some deceptive preparation by artificial means,” Reading what he wrote more than 200 ye ..read more

CNY encounter My family and I had an encounter in 1997 just south of Utica NY in a rural town of Sauquoit. My grandparents were visiting China at the time and my mother, uncle and I were house sitting for them. I was 16 at the time and had already racked up countless hours of hunting, camping, hiking and fishing experience in upstate NY. So I was very outdoorsy young fellow. As I said above I spent most of my time outside exploring the wilderness and there wasn’t much to do at grandmas house except for this kind of impressive geological feature they had towards the back of their property.
