Possible 'Thunderbird' Encounter on Pike Lake, Wisconsin
A couple is fishing on Pike Lake in Wisconsin when a sudden heavy storm comes through. After the storm clears, the couple encounters a huge bird on the lake. Was this a Thunderbird?
The following account was recently forward to me. I later followed up with the witness:
"On the Independence day holiday, my family had a big bash this year. My aunt and her husband even showed up. They shared with me a fascinating story.
About 10 or so years ago, they were fishing on a small lake called Pike Lake in Wisconsin. They were on a rowboat when a heavy storm shelf moved in. They said it was supposed to stay north of them but it shifted and began to move over the lake. The first thing they noticed was the temperature drop "by what felt like 30 degrees." Soon after all the birds flew out in a massive swarm all at once. That's when they knew to get the hell off the lake. It got eerily silent (calm before the storm) and they started to row in towards shore.
Soon the wind picked up and I'm told the water was super choppy, but it was like pitch black; the caps almost crystal like. Tornado sirens start to ring and they're struggling against the waves to get back to shore. Luckily, the owner of the resort they were staying at happened to be nearby to help pull them into safety.The sky goes green and a tornado touched down about 5 miles east from them.
Once it cleared up they went back out on the lake. And they row to this lily pad patch. My aunt's husband said he's casting and looking at this tree. As they drift closer towards it, he said the tree just did not look right, he couldn't put his finger on it. When they're about 10 feet from the shoreline and the tree, a head turns slowly. A massive curved beak stood out to him. Then it drops from the tree and spreads its wings. They say the span was massive, at least 15-16 feet. He screams to my aunt "Look at the size of this thing!" It swoops over them close enough to see the detailed "veins" on the feathers. They said it was a dark gray with a purplish sheen to it. As it flew off, it didn't flap its wings like a typical bird trying to attain lift. It was very slow and steady and they could hear the 'whoosh, whoosh' with each flap.
To this day they swear to this account. They said they know for sure it wasn't a heron or sand crane. The curved beak was more align to some kind of hawk. But it was bigger than any hawk they'd ever seen, including eagles. When I mentioned that their story and description reminded me of the Thunderbird, my aunt's husband seemed kind of like something finally clicked, as if he'd never considered that before. I pulled up a picture of some native American totems with the Thunderbird present and I could see the color drain from his face. I swiped to an artist rendition of what one may look like and he says, "You know, I've never considered that. But I swear that's what it had to be. It looked almost like that's exactly, just slightly different color. I'd never seen anything like that before or since".
Now I'm not saying that what they saw wasn't something explainable or misidentified. However, their sincerity and knowledge of the local wildlife (they frequently fish in the area) compels me to believe they definitely saw something that was a bit out of the ordinary." JM

Supposed Bigfoot Reported 'Swinging in Trees' in Hyde Park, NY
A landscaper in Hyde Park, New York reports that she observed a Bigfoot crashing through the vegetation, and then it ascends a tree. The creature was also seen swinging from tree to tree.
The following was posted on Facebook by Gayle J. Beatty:
"On July 2, I received a phone call from a woman that was working as a landscaper on a property in Hyde Park, NY. She was weeding the garden and was told to dump the weeds down a trail about 200' behind the barn. After dumping the wheelbarrow, it dropped down which made a loud bang. Suddenly, from approximately 50' away she sees and hears something crashing through the thick vegetation parting the brush towards her.The creature then jumped in the tree above her, leaving her in shock and disbelief. The creature then began using its arms to swing from tree to tree moving away from her. She described it as very large and moving through the trees like a monkey. She said she got a good look at the back of the reddish brown beast that she estimated at 6-7' tall with long arms. I am waiting for a follow up interview, but the young woman reported getting sick after the encounter. I have had several reports from this area over the last few years leading me to believe there is a clan living there. Please don't ask me to divulge the location or the eyewitness name it is strictly confidential."
The Daily Voice followed up on the post, stating that the researcher says she was informed of the sighting on Thursday, July 2 when she received a phone call from a woman in Dutchess County who was working as a landscaper on a property in Hyde Park.
The woman's name is "strictly confidential," as is the precise location of the incident. The woman described the creature as being approximately 6-foot-7 in height and reddish-brown and said it moved through trees "like a monkey,"
The incident happened after the woman, who had been weeding the garden, was told to dump the weeds down a trail a couple of hundred feet behind the barn, Beatty wrote in a Facebook post. After dumping the weeds, the wheelbarrow dropped, making a loud noise, the woman said.
"Suddenly, from approximately 50-feet away, she sees and hears something crashing through the thick vegetation, parting the brush towards her," according to Beatty.
Beatty said the creature then jumped in the tree above her, leaving the woman in "shock and disbelief," as it began "using its arms to swing from tree to tree moving away from her."
Beatty said she has had several reports from the Hyde Park area over the last few years leading her to believe "there is a clan living there."

Living Peacefully With A Bigfoot Family Group
A father and son have learned to live peacefully and to coexist with the local Bigfoot family group in Grays Harbor County, Washington.
The following account was included with another Bigfoot report I received several years ago:
"Thought I'd share what we have learned. I can't use my name as we wish to protect the Bigfoot. My son and I, after having encounters on our property, decided to use a different tactic to close-in our encounters. We didn't want to hunt or track them as everyone else seems to do. We knew where they were spending some of their time so we devised a plan to try and win their trust on their terms.
We played a harmonica, flute or bang blocks of wood to ALWAYS let them know we were coming. The idea here is to never show up unannounced or surprise them. We picked a tree in their favorite area and strung striped 12 gauge copper wire (non toxic) over a weak limb 20 foot high in the tree. I used a lead fishing ball to catapult it over the limb. We took the straight wire and stabbed it through the apples we brought, then bent the wire up so the apples couldn't fall off. We then hoisted the apples up to 12 feet and tied the wire around the tree.
If a bear wanted the apples that were out of reach, he'd have to climb the tree and out on that weak limb. If we returned and found the limb broken and our wire on the valley floor, we'd know it was a bear. But we returned to find the limb and wire intact except that the wire was straight and the apples were gone. We played this scene several times, always letting them know we are coming. They were always watching we suspected.
They soon became accustomed to our peace offering and began to, at first, make sounds that we thought were of the wild. But then they would mimic our very own dog that also accompanied us. They would surround us with the exact same bark as our dog. Our dog, we later found out, was accustomed to them already. Peacefully we would play our instrument and leave.
We learned that they love apples and don't care for oranges, at least this clan didn't. We then took a porous onion bag and filled it with peanut butter, honey, flour and seeds. Strung it up the tree and returned in a few days to find it wrung clean, still hanging from the tree where we left it. Oh, never did we ever return the very next day. The idea here was to allow them time to process the fact that we are not setting them up nor watching them. Because if we were caught doing that, there would be no trust and it would be over before it ever started.
They begin to openly observe us, as we did them. Two young ones, less than 4 ft high, stood within 20 feet of my son watching him as he fed our ducks with no apparent parent nearby. They now move freely, crossing our property to the river each spring and fall while passing through. We always know when they are here because they break tree limbs, yell like a freight train, banging rocks or trees and once sat outside our window and watched our TV making human-like chatter.
Remember I said they love apples? Well, they won't touch a single apple on our trees but will go after our plums and sometimes break off the limbs doing so. Not sure why, but ether they hate spruce trees or they just use them as markers because they are always breaking the tops over, not off, just over. Some are as high as 30 feet and as low as 6 feet. They are also great swimmers and can see in the dark. We have learned much more but it get a little crazy so I'll quit here.' IC
There was a footnote included:
"The valley they're in floods every year from a large creek. Early in our baiting ritual my son and I noticed in the spring that the valley floor was covered with a fresh layer of mud. I was ecstatic as I explained to him that this will help us see some great prints. So we moved from our bait tree to another over the mud layered area. Of course I had to make prints going in to bait the tree. It had to be methodical to leave very few prints. We baited the tree as usual. We returned a few days latter to find the apples gone but no prints? This was a lone tree for at least 50 feet. We couldn't figure out and still don't know how they got the apples" IC
NOTE: I later learned that this location was in Grays Harbor County, Washington. Lon

Winged Humanoid: Physical Contact & Possible Protection of Florida Witness
A West Palm Beach, Florida resident had an encounter with a large winged humanoid while visiting Kissimmee Prairie Preserve State Park in October 2017. She encountered the same being on 3 subsequent occasions.
I recently received the following account:
"In 2017 I had an encounter here in Florida at the darkest point in our state for stargazing and seeing the Milky Way. I heard a scary loud roar-like screech unlike anything I've ever heard and felt something brush up against me. I ran into my car and locked the door. It was pitch black. My boyfriend and I drove away in a panic and when we went to recover at a nearby gas station he said, 'What's on your face and hair?" I have included images of when I first saw what he was talking about. It was a tar-like black substance that seemed to be scratched across face and in my hair. It was so hard to get off, I had to scrape it with my fingernails to get off my face. The area where it was in my hair had to be cut out.
Within that same month, I saw it again a few times. It always occurred when I was around this boyfriend. It would always come from behind me. I truly think it was warning me about that boyfriend. Once I broke up with that guy it never came around me again or since then.
I had never heard of the Mothman. But when I explained the series of encounters to my brother, he asked if I could draw it. When I showed the drawing to him, he freaked out and started to Google the Mothman so he could show it to me. I was blown away. It matched my drawing almost to a tee. Has anyone else ever been marked?" LS
NOTE: I asked LS to call me so that I could obtain more details on these encounters. The initial incident occurred at Kissimmee Prairie Preserve State Park in Okeechobee County, Florida on October 18, 2017. At that time, LS only noticed a large dark mass with reddish orange lights (eyes). She could not make out much detail, but was stunned when it brushed against her. You can see the black marks on her face and hair (image below). She stated that the substance was tar-like, sticky but with no odor. She literally had to scrape it off her face with her fingernails. She tried to wash it out of her hair, but eventually had to cut it out. Too bad she didn't keep a sample of this substance.
The other 3 encounters occurred within a month's time. Each incident happened in the vicinity of LS's home in West Palm Beach, Florida, approximately 100 miles southeast of the original encounter location. LS was able to get a better look at this winged humanoid, which she described as being 6 to 6 1/2 foot in height and black in color. The body was somewhat thin with arms and legs that were not attached to the wings. The hands had long thin fingers with claw-like nails. The legs and feet seemed to be fused together, thought there was enough foot width in order to stand. The head was small with what looked like hair-like stumble and large oval reddish-orange eyes. There was no other discernible details on the face that she could make out. The wings were long and draped over and away from the body. It reminded her of a cape-like membrane that extended to the ground. LS never saw it actually use the wings, and it seemed to descend smoothly. It would always appear behind her, each time frightening her then boyfriend. When it ascended, it did so quickly and made a roaring screech.
LS believes that this winged humanoid was somehow warning her of potential danger involving this boyfriend. After they broke up the winged being didn't return. Lon

Harrowing Black-Eyed Woman Encounter in Phoenix, Arizona
A Phoenix, Arizona woman has a harrowing experience with a black-eyed woman late one night at her home. The woman left herself into the house and refused to leave.
I recently found the following account, mixed in with other recollections, in an old database:
"My experience with a black eyed woman happened mid December 2014. I was living in downtown Phoenix at the time and just moved into my apartment the previous month.
I was out with some friends that night and got home around 10:00 pm. I had to be at work at 5:00 am so I went straight to bed. I woke up abruptly to knocking on my door and thought, 'it's 2 am...who the hell is at my door?' I laid my head back down, but then I heard knocking again. I peaked out my window to see who it was and it was a young Hispanic woman who was very pale. She yelled "I need your help!" I immediately sprung out of bed thinking this girl was in trouble. I instantly thought if my sister or mom, if they were in that position I hope someone would help.
I cracked the door open and asked, "Are you okay, what's wrong?" She said "I need to use your phone." Her voice was very calm but something was just wrong. She was about 5 ft 8 in., 18-20 years old or so. Everything about her seemed normal but she had these strange glasses on and a strange vibe. I told her "Hold on let me grab it." I went back into my room to grab my phone when I heard the door slowly open. I quickly began to have second thoughts about what I just did opening the door to a stranger that early.
I walked back out to give her my phone when I saw her laying on my couch. I told her, "Make it quick I need to be at work in a few hours." As I said that she turned her head towards me, took of her glasses and smiled. I couldn't move. Her eyes were completely black like someone sharpied her eyeballs, and had some type of black substance in her teeth. She stood up and eased her way towards me. I tossed her the phone not wanting to be anywhere near this person. She grabbed it and made 2 calls, which later I found out were disconnected numbers.
When she was done I asked her, "Can you wait outside for your ride I need to sleep." She replied "I can't leave." I said you need to wait outside you can't be in here. She began to cry. I told her I'm sorry for whatever happened to you but you really can't be in here. She looked up at me, smiled and asked "Can I use your bathroom before I leave?" I pointed to the bathroom and she went into it without closing the door. I grabbed my phone from the coffee table, dialed 911 but it didn't go through. I yelled, "You need to leave NOW!" I heard nothing from her. I peeked into the bathroom and what I saw will haunt me forever. She was scratching at her face and smiling in the mirror. I saw that and ran to my room and locked the door. I kept yelling, "I called the police!" I heard her giggle and say, "I told you I can't leave!" I wanted to cry, I was shaking and didn't know what to do. I kept telling myself, "I'm strong, I'm strong."
About 5 minutes went by and I heard knocking on the door again as if the situation was in replay. I peaked out my window to see if it was a concerned neighbor but it was her, again. I sprinted to my door to lock it but it already was. I was paralyzed in fear. How could she lock my door from the inside and be out? I cracked my window open and threw out a sweatshirt with $20 bucks in it. I yelled, "Get a cab, hitch a ride just leave me alone!" She didn't touch the sweatshirt or the money and sat there on my steps as if she was waiting for me.
I began pounding the connecting wall to my neighbor. I dialed 911 again and it finally went through. As I explained the situation to the dispatcher I peeked out the window to see her gone along with my sweatshirt. I felt the biggest relief.
Needless to say I didn't sleep the rest of the morning. As I left for work I opened my door to see my $20 bill on my doorstep. It looked like a brand new crisp $20 bill. I picked it up, ran to my car and left for work. I'm not exactly sure what I experienced that night, but I will never forget it." HS

Bigfoot Closely Approached Brothers at Fort Stewart, Georgia
Two brothers are planning to hunt feral hogs on the Fort Stewart, Georgia military base in November 1997. While at the location they are closely approached by a Bigfoot.
I recently received a telephone call from 'MP' in reference to a Bigfoot encounter at Fort Stewart, Georgia.
This incident occurred in November 1997 in the M12 area of the base. MP and his brother had obtained hunting tags that allowed them access to specific areas of base designated for bowhunting of feral hogs and deer.
It was approximately 4:30 am when they pulled along the tank road. They wanted to go in early and set up their tree stands. They were planning to hunt for for feral hogs this particular morning.
After they finished setting up the tree stands, they intended on walking back to their truck (this was a large delivery truck used for work) and grab an hour or so of sleep until dawn. On the walk back to the truck, there were several pine cones thrown in their direction. They couldn't explain why this was occurring, but they were on alert.
When they reached the truck, MP was sitting in the passenger seat and his brother was on the driver's side. They discussed the pine cones incident for a bit, then tried to get some sleep.
After 15 minutes or so, MP's brother poked MP on his left side and softly told him to wake up. MP opened his eyes and looked at his brother. When he did, he noticed that his brother was looking at the passenger side window with fear in his face. MP slowly turned his head and saw a huge hairy head and face with large dark eyes staring at them through the partially fogged up window. Whatever this beast was it had to have been 8 foot in height since they were sitting in the cab of this delivery truck.
MP's right hand reached down the side of his seat in an attempt to retrieve a .44 revolver. As he did this, MP saw a huge hairy hand practically cover the outside surface of the window. Then, just as quickly, the beast disappeared. MP's brother immediately started the truck and gunned it out of the area, leaving the tree stands.
Later that same day, they decided to go back and retrieve the tree stands. It was approximately 4:45 pm as daylight was beginning to wane. They quickly detached the tree stands and began walking back to the truck. As they were walking a pine cone sailed over MP's head. They both looked to their left and noticed a large Bigfoot standing partially behind a pine tree about 30 yards distance from them. It was not making any sound, but swayed a bit while raising its arms above its head. MP and his brother instantly started to run, hoping that this creature would not chase them. They safely reached the truck and quickly left.
According to MP, this was the last time that he and his brother ever returned to hunt on the base.
I told MP of several Bigfoot and upright canine sighting accounts at Fort Stewart that had previously been reported to me over the years. One of these incidents occurred in 1942 when the base was a boot camp during WWII. Lon

'Have you seen my brother?'
By Kent McCaman - One evening in November of 1991, while enjoying a nice walk on my first visit to London, I nearly bumped into a woman. She stood facing me within armʼs reach. I was shocked that she was suddenly there but pleased that I didnʼt topple her to the ground.
Holding a small purse, she wore a black dress, bonnet, and shoes of the early 1800s. A day earlier, I had seen similar clothes on display in Londonʼs Victoria & Albert Museum. Her face was plump, decidedly English, and exuded sadness. I barely caught a glimpse of her eyes because she slowly lowered her head in despair. And while doing so she asked, “Have you seen my brother?”
I replied, “I donʼt know your brother. So I donʼt know if Iʼve seen him.” Then I looked behind her. Two men, four or five meters away, stood looking at me. I thought they might be escorting and caring for this troubled woman who was out in the dark of London asking strangers about her brother. I stepped aside and said to the men, “Excuse me, I think this woman is lost. Do you know her?” I was uncomfortable. I really didnʼt know what to ask them. I said what I did in an effort to merely be polite and helpful. They said nothing. Apparently they were not with her. Perhaps they didnʼt answer because they didnʼt speak English. And to tend to her, one must speak her language.
Then the woman slowly walked onward behind me. After I took a few steps, I was concerned and I turned around to see her. But she wasnʼt there. This was an open area. No people, no obstacles, could have blocked my view of her. There was nothing for her to hide behind. It wasnʼt foggy. She had just vanished. This puzzled me. I said aloud, but to myself, “Well, I guess this is creepy old London.”
Nine years passed. Once again, I had business to conduct in London. This would be my second visit. I enjoy London. So, beforehand, I went to a bookstore in Los Angeles to buy a useful book about what to see. I like to walk. So I wanted a book easily carried. Most of the books were large and heavy. I removed a thin book from the shelf titled “Walking Haunted London” by Richard Jones. I felt a bit silly about that because I was skeptical about ghosts. But I was curious. So I thumbed through the book. It featured several self-guided walking tours, each tour three to five kilometers long. The author usually began by telling of battles and history pertinent to the area. Then he wrote of specific ghostly events that have been observed by credible people such as Winston Churchill, Tower Guards, and countless others for a few hundred years.
A tour at the bottom of page 23 titled “The Bank of England and The Old Lady in Black” caught my attention. It was a story about brother and sister Philip and Sarah Whitehead.
In 1811, Philip Whitehead worked in the Cashierʼs Office for the Bank of England and was charged and convicted of forgery. The penalty imposed was harsh. A year later he was executed.
Philipʼs sister Sarah didnʼt accept his guilt and was in denial about his demise. Every day, Sarah Whitehead would wear her favorite black crepe dress and walk to the bank to visit her brother. Polite bank employees would comfort Sarah by saying that Philip was not there at the time. They always promised to inform Philip she inquired. This continued for six years. Due to her attire, people eventually referred to her as “The Bank Nun” and Sarahʼs persistence became an embarrassment to the Bankʼs governors. So, in 1818, they made a deal with Sarah. They would give her a sum of money if in return she would agree to never again visit the bank. She dutifully honored this deal and never disappointed them.
But Sarah Whiteheadʼs determination to find her brother was truly unending. Ever since her death, for two hundred years or so, she has been witnessed walking London at night in search of her beloved brother. Author Richard Jones writes that when people see Sarah, she “appears from nowhere and with downcast eyes, inquires sadly but politely: Have you seen my brother?”
Thatʼs exactly what I experienced nine years earlier! The hair on my arms bristled. I finally discovered that I had witnessed a remarkable haunting by Sarah Whitehead.
Of course, I bought the book. I also contacted the author and was delighted to exchange thoughts and details about it. And I got in touch with the Bank of England. They gladly sent me information about this. Researchers of this haunting in books and television have referred to Sarah Whitehead as “The Bank Nun”, “The Woman in Black”, and “The Old Lady in Black”.
I will never forget Sarah. She stood directly in front of me. I believe she was aware of my presence. She wasnʼt five feet away to my side talking to empty space where there was no one to listen.
I wonder if “Have you seen my brother?” is the only sentence she can forever say? And if I had not stepped aside and remained in front of her, could she have walked around me? Might she have walked through me? I regret that I didnʼt have the pleasure of witnessing the actual moment she vanished.
During my second jaunt in London, I wasn’t fortunate to encounter Sarah Whitehead again.
If Sarah and I are ever reacquainted, what will happen when I say, “Sarah, I have bad news. Your dear brother, Philip Whitehead, is dead. Your search is over. It’s time to move on.”

Small Hairy Hominids Observed by Fossil Hunters in West Texas Flatlands (Follow-Up Report)
“FOUR LITTLE FOOT CREATURES” SIGHTING REPORT
by Sharon Cornet
Lon Strickler’s initial report: Small Hairy Hominids Observed by Fossil Hunters in West Texas Flatlands
INFORMANT: RG
2nd WITNESS: RG2 (age 14)
LOCATION: 4 miles south of Fort Stockton, TX in the Davis mountains while fossil hunting
DATE OF THIS REPORT: 7/30/2020 (initial interview 7/14)
INVESTIGATOR: Sharon Cornet, Affiliate with Phantom & Monsters Fortean Research
SIGHTING DETAILS:
RG and his daughter saw the 2-3’ high creatures as close as 50 yards away. He said they “Didn't look like a monkey… but I’ve never seen a bigfoot.” The four creatures had 5 fingers, were hairy head to toe except for their fingers, knuckles, and face. Their hair was not long but one was more bushy-headed than rest. Whether they were male or female is unknown. The diminutive beings stayed a safe distance away from them, but RG and his daughter both felt like they were being followed. They first saw them a couple miles or so out, and the little hominid-like creatures followed them out to the 3-4 mile mark, and then back towards their vehicle again. This happened one weekend after the Covid-19 lockdown started, around April of 2020.
The area is flat and open. There had been rain so green shrubs and sage bushes were present but no trees. The creatures were hiding behind the sage when he said, “I swear to God I saw something move!” His daughter said to "walk backwards" when they saw the creatures. The little guys rose up, looked like they were communicating somehow with hand gestures, but it was unknown if they talked. They took off suddenly, scattering. RG exclaimed, “Oh my Jesus! I’ve never seen anything close to that.” He wondered if what he saw was even real. RG2, his daughter replied, “Dad, it's real." He wondered, where could these things come from? Later, the creatures would come back together, following them once more.
They saw the creatures several times. “There was one,” RG explained, “then here comes the other one, then the other one, then the fourth one. I slipped and stumbled, but then they realized we were facing them, so they dropped down, scurried together, and then I chased them.” RG said he is 5'-7" and 300 lbs so he went after one to see it (not to capture it, just to see). He said, “The closer I got the further away they would scurry away. I couldn’t catch up… they moved as fast as a teenager in its prime." He chased them a total of three times.
After about 4-5 hrs he realized it was getting late and they had to get back to their motel. The creatures followed them back on their hike toward their vehicle. They had gone hiking out approximately 4-5 miles total. Ricky said the area has nothing out there but scrub, but the tiny hairy beings followed them almost all the way back, up to 1/2 mile toward the road. He and his daughter turned to see them and wave at them, but the creatures were gone.
CREATURES’ DESCRIPTION:
NOISE: They heard a chipping sound similar to a ground squirrel. He thought they were like ground squirrels like back in Sweetwater (Texas, like prairie dogs, etc.) but he had never seen them out there.
HAIR: Reddish brown, one was lighter (fawn color)
HEIGHT: All four of them ranged between 2’-3' high
FACES: They had a wide mouth but they couldn't see any teeth (he has an astigmatism but did not have his glasses), broad nose, normal human-looking eyes, dirt-colored skin (whitish-sandy) like the dirt they were standing on (perhaps good camouflage).
ARMS: Normal size for their bodies, not longer or bulkier
EVIDENCE: Saw some footprints but looked like human footprints as if a kid ran through sand, just small… like a 10-12-year old age human child (they didn't count toes), bare feet. The feet appeared out of proportion for their bodies, possibly bigger feet (his daughter is size 5 yet theirs were close to same size—she is around 4’-10”). The footprints were a little bit wider than a human’s but appeared “well used”.
ADDITIONAL NOTES: He said he wished he had his dog with him, or a camera, but they did not even have their cell phones along. No other unusual events.
RG did relay this story, which also happened in the Davis mountains to his uncle (ex-army, deceased now) since he had once had a similar experience: His uncle said he saw pebbles bounce back, and then saw a little creature. This alarmed him so he took his knife out and it ran off. He was unsure if it was hairy or not, but his uncle had told him it was a little humanoid creature. When asked where his uncle had seen this little person, RG said they had gone up the side of mountain, maybe mid-way at the time of the sighting. RG said, “We may have been in the same area” when he and his daughter had the “little foot” sighting of the four hairy hominoid creatures.
RG’s teenage daughter RG2 said she was not comfortable talking about the incident because it had given her bad dreams.
