Bigfoot Encountered in Chelan County, Washington (Photo)

I recently received a telephone call from a 64-year-old Washington resident who had a Bigfoot encounter while hunting with his fiance.

'KG' was bow hunting for deer on the first day of the season in 2018. He and his fiance were in a wilderness area, not far from Cashmere, WA in Chelan County. The forest was charred as the result of a wildfire several years before, so much of the area had burnt trees and stumps. There is also new growth throughout. KG has been hunting along a specific game trail for many years.

This particular day, he noticed that the usual high number of deer and elk tracks was considerably less than previous years. Regardless of this, they setup in a blind hoping that they would be successful.

After an hour or so, KG decided that they would move on since there was no activity. It was late afternoon, so they began to walk back towards their vehicle. As they hiked back, something caught KG's eye on the slope above him. He stopped and looked through his binoculars. At first, he thought that the dark hairy creature was a huge black bear. But it stood up and looked directly at him. He could see the face. This wasn't a black bear.

He never imagined that he would ever look into the face of a Bigfoot, as the creature 'sneered' at him and turned. It slowly walked up the slope. KG grabbed his cellphone and took a photo of the back of the creature has it moved off.

The next day, KG returned to the location. He measured a small tree that had been near the Bigfoot. It was approximately 10 ft. in height. The Bigfoot was at least 8 foot in height in comparison. He later noticed a burnt pine tree that was broken off about 12 foot from the ground. A live 4 inch diameter pine had been broken off and set upon the burnt tree (photo below).

KG had been sitting on his encounter for almost a year, but finally felt that it should be reported. Lon

Upright Canine Observed in Pentwater, Michigan

I had stayed at my friend's place by Lansing for a couple of weeks and decided to take off and head towards the shore of Lake Michigan, up through Petoskey and over to the UP.

It was dark by the time I got to Pentwater, a small resort town on the shore of Lake Michigan in the western part of the state. I was kind of confused at a stop sign and lurched to a stop, started and stopped. I looked up and there was a police officer stopped to my right. I decided to make a right turn, then turn into a neighborhood. I made my way back to the main road and took a right.

As I turned back on to the main road, I saw a small hill going up into a wooded area on the left. I saw some sort of animal in the grassy area between the road and the trees. I thought to myself 'oh cool, I'm going to see some wildlife, like a possum or badger or something.' But as I got near it, it seemed to move in a very unnatural away for an animal like that. Sort of too fast and too jerky as it ran to the side and then down the hill. It appeared to be brown and reddish tobacco colored, and furry. It looked much larger too, more like human size.

After I passed it, I looked up in my rear view mirror. The animal had stood up on its hind legs, and ran across the street leaning over with its front arms hanging down. Classic werewolf type horror movie pose.

I had been planning on camping out in that area, but no way! I drove over two hours before I stopped. DE

Massive UFO

“Back in the summer of 1991, my brother-in-law at the time and I were coming in from a long day in the logging bushes. It was about dark and he reached over and tapped me on the arm and said "What the #$^* is that?" He pointed to the sky... a boomerang about the size of a shopping center parking lot was slowly gliding along, no noise no wind, just floating along the highway. We followed it for, I figure, about five minutes until we lost it behind the hills and trees. We told everyone about it and, man, that was a mistake. We were talked about for a while and ridiculed so bad. I know what I saw and I know it was not from our planet. You'll never convince me that we are alone in this universe and one day, we all will be confronted by them and the world will change to a totally different belief system... Mark my words, they are here!!!” MC

High Strangeness: Watched by MIBs / Something Landed Behind the Barn

“One day my two friends and I were out late on the levee (in Stockton, California) and we saw a bright "star" (it looked like a star) orbiting the sky VERY fast. As we watched, it stopped in mid-air. Then five more "stars" appeared. That's when we realized they weren't stars, they were lights; lit up on what looked to be a UFO, and that's when we started panicking. But then the UFO turned into a white cloud, then pink, then blood red and it vanished into thin air. We literally ran out of that levee and I went to hang with my best friend and told her everything. I thought it would be just a memory at that point, so I went home and fell asleep.

I woke up to the bell ringing very early the next morning and when I went to look, I saw a man in a black suit with a briefcase at my door. I thought he was just someone trying to sell me something. I was just annoyed. It was so early. So I waited until he left but he wouldn't leave, he was just staring into my house like a mannequin for, like, 5 minutes straight. I wanted to see if he had a car but when I looked out the window, I noticed there was five more of the men outside my house, just staring at it blankly. My heart skipped a beat. I was freaked out, so I was for sure dialing the police at this point. But as soon as I started dialing, they looked at me at the exact same second. I don't even know how they saw me through the little crack I was watching them from. They stared at me coldly for a few moments then, again, at the exact same time, they walked away and got into their car. They all watched me, even the driver as he was driving away. I never spoke of it since. This is real and it's terrifying. Ever since then I always feel like I'm only safe in my room with my windows closed and locked up. I feel like they watch my house.” OD

“I had an encounter in the mid 2000s out on my Nanny and Papo's property near Chicago. It was around 8:30 PM because my Nanny was about to watch the WGN news. My Uncle left and said keep an eye on my roosters cause the coyotes were out. My Uncle leaves. Well, just a few minutes later, I could hear the roosters in an uproar, so I grabbed a spotlight and headed down to the barn. I'm standing down there kinda looking up at the sky and I can see what looks like a satellite pass over, so I used my spotlight and kinda flashed the satellite three or four times. As soon as I did that, I'm looking forward, towards the barn, and this craft-of-some-kind, appears right above the trees towards the back of the barn, which is nothing but woods. This thing made no noise. It had this iridescent color around it and it had two big beams of light on the bottom of it. It was like it appeared from another dimension with the beams of light on. And it just slowly comes down into the woods. Now I'm not a scientist or mathematical wizard but the way that thing came down was if gravity didn't exist. It was so slow but so smooth, with no noise or anything. And it was gone, maybe in the woods or in the field back there but I damn sure wasn't going to look. I ran back up to the house and my Nanny says, 'Son you look like you seen a ghost.' I told her and Papo what I saw and drew a picture of it and everything. Craziest thing I've ever seen.” RB

"So I worked at the gas station in my small town in Texas and there was this tall pale bald customer who came to the store almost every day and buy the same thing. He seemed different obviously and when he looked at me it felt like he was in my mind and I just knew something was off. He was bald, blue eyes and for some reason I still can't remember if or what color his eyebrows were?! But long story short he spoke regular, drove a creepy white van and just had a weird alien vibe to him. I no longer work or live there so I cannot give you an update.” BZ

Tsiatko or 'Stick Indians': Are These Sasquatch?

“It was the summer of 1970, I was 23 years old, I had no idea what I wanted to do with the rest of my life, so I hooked up with a military buddy of mine and we set out on a road trip from Chicago, Illinois to Victorville, California. My friend's mom, dad and sister lived in Marysville, Washington, so we decided to head there first. It was on the way "sort of". Anyway, after a great "trip" through the Rockies, we ended up in San Francisco right in the middle of the flower power explosion, and after much discussion and lots of mind expanding substances we decided to resume our 'trip" to his home up north.

When we arrived at his parent's home I was introduced to his mom and dad and when his sister came home about thirty minutes later I was absolutely floored. She was the most gorgeous hunk of womanhood I had ever laid my eyes on and when our eyes meet it was all over, I had fallen hopelessly in love. Well over the course of the next two weeks, we were inseparable. Then one evening she comes home and asks us if we wanted to go to a party out in the woods, all her friends were going, and there would be a keg of beer and lots of other goodies as well. Well, it didn't take much persuading. We said, 'Let's go!' We followed them on an old logging road out in the middle of the forest. The road turned sharply to the right and at the elbow was a kinda turn out that was just right to park all the cars and trucks. I take it they had done this many times before.

They set up the keg on the rear of one of the trucks, and the party began. Well after about two hours I ended up back in my friend's car, having lost the love of my life somewhere in the crowd. All for the better for I was having a hard time standing anyway. Then all of a sudden we hear people screaming and yelling. It sounded like they were yelling something like 'stick Indians.' Well my friend and I looked at each other and both said at the same time, 'What the f--k are stick Indians?' Now we were parked facing the way we came in on this road, so we had to look back over our shoulder to see what hell was going on behind us. People were jumping in their cars and peeling out down the only other way out, including the guy with the beer keg on the back, which went tumbling off as he roared out of there. My friend was tapping me on the shoulder trying to get my attention, yelling, 'Look man, look!' And as I turned around, what I saw sent a shiver down my spine like I had never had before. There about 50 feet down the road was three creatures just standing in the middle of the road, one was maybe 3 to 4 feet tall, another one was 5 to 6 feet tall and the end one had to be at least 7 feet or more tall. They had what looked like long red hair all over their body, except what appeared to be the female. Her breasts and abdomen were bare which only became apparent as they moved closer. Their skin pigment was kinda grayish.

Well after the shock wore off my friend tried to start the car, but as luck would have it, it just cranked and cranked. It finally started. As he turned the car around, I noticed that the big one had something in his hand, It looked like, well, maybe, a "big stick". Now if this was just some kinda joke or prank they were pulling on a couple of 'flat landers' they spared no expense and were the best of actors. Not to mention the costumes were as good as anything Hollywood could do today, much less in 1970. Now I know what you all are thinking, these guy were just higher than a kite and hallucinated the whole thing. Well I admit it "yes" I was more than a little high, but dammit, I know what I saw. There's more to this story but I don't have time now to tell it. If anyone out there has any info on what or who 'stick Indians' are please contact me I would be so grateful.” RC

Abduction, Missing Time & UFO Incidents

Queensland, Australia. “About 18 years ago one night (in 2000) I was a sleep I felt myself getting sucked up into space it was dark and cold I was going very fast. Then I got sucked into a tube and I was flowing in this white really big round room about 10 stories high which had like grooves cut out in the walls. I was put in one of them. I don't know how. Then, next, I was in another room, like an operation room with two very tall white Alien beings with really big heads. They didn't talk to me yet I could hear them saying to me, 'Don't be afraid.' They were examining me. They put something up my nose then I was turned over and they put a thin long prod into my backside. I was screaming with pain and I must have passed out, and all of a sudden, I woke up in my bed. My body was still cold when I woke up in fright and it was summer in Queensland, Australia. I have never spoken about this until now. I can remember this like it was yesterday.” MG

“I thought I was losing my mind. I came to realize it had happened throughout my life but the memories are all vague and in snippets, fragmented. I also lost up to 7 hours in 1993 driving to my fathers farm with my children and a friend but had no clue until after my experiences in September 2001 when that road trip played in my head for no reason at all. The car rolled to a stop, and my boyfriend asked me what took us so long which I didn’t answer because, to me, nothing was out of the ordinary, even though, looking back, I did ask my friend, 'Why it was so dark when we turned off at the turnoff?' Which is two hours past the mountain where the car rolled to a stop. My friend's memory also comes back at the turnoff. Its really freaky and sounds nuts but it's real. My friend's memory of what happened on that mountain is similar to mine but there are differences, again, fragmented, bits and pieces, we both seen a house mind you a house that does not exist but she thought she was knocking on a make shift police station door where I thought it was a house (you are given screen memories) its a memory so you think that is what has taken place, even if you don’t remember it most of the time any way, unless regressed. Maybe they do that just in case you do remember.” JD

“UFO I saw was while on a Greyhound bus. We had just left Cache Creek, British Columbia, on the right side, out in between the mountains. Down in the field, it was hovering over the ground. It was a huge UFO. It was two miles tall and looked, like, egg-shaped but elongated with four tubes of lights jetting out of the flat side. This was 2:30 AM in morning. I wish I stopped the bus to get pictures but he was driving fast and I didn't think he'd stop. I'll never forget that night. Check out Cache Creek, Hope BC, Burns Lake, Vancouver, BC because all have UFO activity. You just have to look up...” VJ

“I was a skeptic for many years. However, having seen one in the late 1990s around the same week local press where reporting UFOs all the way down the Fylde Coast in Northwest England. The UFO I saw (with a witness) was close up in a field on our way to work. The craft was massive and made no sound but had portal-hole windows. What is strange is the time to arrive at work should have been quicker, yet we had time to take it in. No fear though at the time. Just amazed. After the event, to travel down the road, I felt nervous. In addition, on approaching a bridge, before seeing the object, I saw what appeared as a swirling, spinning blue disk like looking something of a portal type thing in the sky. Maybe dimensional? Satisfied we know what we saw. And yes. I'm no longer a skeptic.” SS

The Fayetteville Mothman

I recently received the following account:

Our family lived in Fayetteville, West Virginia and our home was located 1/10 mile from the major town street. Our house was located in the forest and our property bordered a state forest. I was 11-12 at the time. The forest was dense with well-worn hiking paths. Some had been logging roads at one time. One was larger as it had once been a rock quarry road. The remains of the quarry was located on our property. A quarter mile from the quarry was a convergence to two creeks. One was Wolf Creek. The convergence point once had a five foot stone dam that was blasted years before my time due to waterborne disease outbreaks. The town dumped its sewage into the smaller creek. Beyond the convergence of the creek it descended several large waterfall systems into the New River George. When waters were low a large flat rock creek bed was exposed and we played in it as kids.

Several of us were wrapped up in the Dungeons & Dragons craze, were enamored by heavy metal music and teetered on the edge of occult interests. Nothing too serious. Boys of their time and place. During one late afternoon I proclaimed upon the top of a rock outcrop over the creek bed that I was calling forward a great spirit of the deep forest. Nothing happened. We continued playing until dusk, parted ways and returned home. Perhaps it was happenstance. Perhaps related.

My experience with Mothman began that week and lasted just less than a month. I did not speak of it or share with others for nearly 15 years. I was afraid that speaking of it would somehow cause it to come back around. I will spare you the minor details but need to share the only backstory that matters.

A few years earlier I played with a girl my age and her younger brother. They had a grand three story wooden home in our neighborhood. It was a historic house. A mansion by local standards. We entered her home one night after searching out fireflies in the front yard. When we walked through the foyer to the main staircase to the second floor I looked to my right across a large sitting room where there were sets of large windows. Outside the windows was a large hardwood about 75 years old. I saw two large red eyes. Large! I stopped. The girl and her brother were already a fourth the way up the stairs and I was standing still and mesmerized. I said, “There are two red eyes in your tree.” The girl replied back, “That’s a ghost. He has red eyes, looks like an old man, sits in the tree and stares at us sometimes.” I asked if they ever called the police. She said no. She said her mom told them not to look at it and ignore it. Their mom often seemed drained and depressed. I was glad I did not have old creepy men sitting in trees around our house. It stayed with me.

Back to my main story. I immediately felt that I was being watched at all times. The primal feeling of prey being stalked. It did not matter if I was in my house, woods, walking to the park - day and night. There were scratches at my second floor window but no trees. Deep fear of getting out of bed. Paralyzing fear. Many sleepless nights. I tried to share strange things were going on to my parents. They had no interest. I would wake them up at night and ask them to search the house, check the doors, etc. There were annoyed. They did agree to keep the flood lights on surrounding the house. My dog was acting strange. Normally a brave dog not scared by bear, not man, nor bigger dog - was a mess while this was going on.

I called one of my friends that was there with us when we were playing and asked him to come over. That it was very important. Told him I would only speak with him in-person about it. He did and I learned he too was having a series of strange and frightening events. He felt we needed to stick together and tell no one as they would think we were nuts. Needless to say I did spend a lot of time at his house located in a non-wooded neighborhood. The stuff going on at his house was just as bad. Knocking on multiple walls during the day. A thousand birds on the power lines outside his home. The fear of being watched and followed. He was irritated with me as he felt it had been my fault.

One night I mustered the courage to go to my bedroom window and look out on the backyard. A being crossed from the shadows of the house side across the yard and into the flood light lit area just a bit, stopped and looked over its shoulder at me at an upward angle as I was in an elevated position. First, this thing was 8-9 feet tall. Had it’s giant wings pulled in across its back so that it looked like a cloak. It looked straight ahead again and seemed to glide across the yard in a standing position. It did not have traditional legs and the legs came together into a very strange point, as though its stance could not support its mass yet they did. It used no stride. It was not human.

Many years later, when the film came out I was amazed. The static on the phone, headaches, etc. At the time of the events I assumed it was a demon. Mothman was not a term I knew. I never saw it spread its wings or fly. I did have the feeling it was above me. A birds-eye view. The damn thing was silent as I have the hearing of a fruit bat. I had a panic attack that night, cold sweats and felt very alone. I got down on my knees and prayed in a way I never had and never have since.

There was one wise old man who cut our grass and acted as a handyman when the mines closed from time to time. He liked me. Gave me a lot of advice. Told me stories. He had three girls and no boys. My dad liked to do his own work but pitched the fellow work because he was a good guy. He was working on our mower when I broached the subject briefly. He stopped what he was doing, stood up, took me by the shoulders and looked me in the eyes. He said I know what you are talking about. It is the thing we do not talk about in this town. It is called Mothman and even talking about it can bring him around. That was it.

I live in Atlanta now and during 2005 I finally shared the whole story with my wife of six years. Within a week I was in the back courtyard and one swooped. The wingspan and speed was awesome. It perched (not like a bird) 70 yards away at about 70 feet and watched me. No red eyes during the middle of the day and blended well. They do not weigh much but are crazy large, intelligent and not human. It moved on within a week. While they can communicate telepathically - so can I when you lock minds with it. I let it know that it was out of its element in a city like Atlanta, that I had no fear and that I would end it should it mess with my family and property. Not sure I could. But I was a man at that time and had very little patience and refused to succumb to fear. They are most curious about us. They don’t think like humans. Don’t have the same values and motivations. There were no tragedies associated with my experience. They are voyeurs by nature. I don’t think they are physically as strong as a full man. But I can’t imagine getting a shot at one. MJ

HELP! Wendigo, Skinwalker or What?

I recently came across the following bizarre account:

I’ve been in Alaska for more than 2 years and I’m stationed in Fort Wainwright. Every so often we go to field missions and where we go is super isolated. Me and a few guys were tasked out to drive down this mountain that we are currently doing our training on and we replied “yes,” reluctantly because we just want some real food rather than MREs we have been living off of for the past few days. While two of the soldiers were ground guiding me and my battle I’ll call 'Knox,' out of the runway, we noticed it started to get dark...fast. Being on that mountain is hardly ever ANY light unless it’s from the moon. But just to get a general idea, you could see the northern lights easily.

As we drive, Knox is telling me he has to piss really bad so I just tell him to pull over. As he begins to pull over, it got extremely quite. I felt as if someone punched me in my gut because I started to get this strong sense of something is watching me and I started to get goosebumps. I took it with a grain of salt that maybe it was just the MRE making my stomach hurt and the weather making the hairs on my skin stand. But then I felt paranoid, and I’ve never felt this way before in the field because I’ve been here numerous times before.

As he walks back to the truck I see the foliage on my right hand side fall as if weight was being forced on it. I tap Knox’s shoulder and tell him to look in my direction. It was a moose, but it looked oddly skinny and the antlers just didn’t look “normal.” Our eyes got huge and he responded, “What the f*ck is that thing?”

I stammered because I wasn’t too sure what it was either. He buckled up and pressed the break but we heard “Help,” coming from the direction of the moose. My heart dropped and I felt the heat leave my face and I looked at him asking, “did you f*cking hear that or was it just me?” He replied, “bruh, I heard that.” He laughed nervously and we turned off the truck and shined our headlamps towards the moose’s direction. (We are 89B, so we carry our standard M4s with us in the vehicle when we are transporting ammo weather there is anything in the cans or not, just because it’s for our safety).

Knox and I looked in the cab to just verify we have our weapons on us, and we did. I jumped out the cab and he followed with our headlamps still on the moose. We walked closer and the word “help,” was getting louder and louder. We got a few more feet closer but not extremely too close to the moose and it ran back into the wood line making me and Knox jump. We looked at each other and we were both probably thinking the same thing... “did that moose just cry for help?”

I told him I was getting cold and he agreed, so we paced back to the truck as fast as possible. As I closed the door, we heard the words “HELP,” but louder than what it was earlier. I got that gut feeling right after I heard the words and looked into the dark wood line and saw red eyes. I gulped and told him to look but he put the truck in drive and sped off. We talked for a a few minutes about the situation and complete silence followed right after. When we got done with the mission he sped up the mountain to get back to where the rest of the company was at and he didn’t say a word. He sleeps on the cot next to me and he didn’t speak to anyone about the situation. I’m a bit shook from the situation myself.

Whatever it was that called for help, I’m sorry I never went into the wood line. - FC

Possible Bigfoot Encounter in Northampton County, PA

“I live in Northampton County, Pennsylvania. I was walking on the opening day of spring turkey 2015, 3:30 AM, and bumped some deer bedding down off the main trail across from a field. I saw 4 to 5 white tails jumping away and snort/wheezing about 25 yards in front of me, off to my left. I was a little startled. I wasn’t expecting to bump deer bedding down so close to the trail. Well, as I’m standing, watching the deer go off, I heard distinct heavy foot bi-pedal foot falls in the field off to my right going away from me towards the wood line. I can’t remember how many, maybe 5 or 6, but they were heavy and I could hear the thudding as they went. It was like a truck was going through the trees and it sounded like it turned diagonally, to its left while going up the mountain.

I have encountered big bears up close before, in the Catskills, not in PA yet, although I’ve seen plenty of bear signs, and they never made heavy bipedal foot falls nor do they make so much loud noise crashing through the woods. Bears can get big and make some noise but not like this. Anyway, the crashing through the woods went on for under a minute but I was frozen with fear for about 5 to 10 minutes. I only had my .12 gauge with 3 turkey loads and no other firearm. I had rushed out of the house because I wanted to get to my spot early. Well finally I was able to walk to my spot and nothing else happened.

I don’t know what it was but it had to be really big. No smells, no vocalizations, and no visual. Just a little freaky. Maybe it could have been a very large bear that was creeping up on those deer. I don't know but I did hear of a hunter seeing one during this past 2017 in deer season near the same public game lands I had my experience.” AK

Huge Creature Chasing a Pack of Hogs

“I had my own experience I guess you could call it. It was at Camp Shelby, Texas. I had been driving a track recovery vehicle back from the field, taking it back to the motor pool and was late at night, between 1:00 and 3:00 in the morning and there was a pack of hogs that ran across the road in front of me. They were probably 50 to 100 yards and I had all the lights on that VTR. But just like 3 to 5 seconds behind those hogs was something huge, black and hairy looking, and on all fours! And on all fours, this thing looked taller than the vehicle, or at least over my head and me in the cockpit! But I didn’t know what the hell it was, so I floored that vehicle I was driving!!!” HH

Bizarre Personal Encounters

“Back in 2002, me and my friend was heading back home from a music festival. My friend was going in another direction by bus, so I waited with him at a bus stop, just to say goodbye. There was only us and a lady. Then the light at the bus stop started flickering and the wind started blowing. It had been completely quiet with no wind before that. It all blew in our direction or my direction. Because suddenly the wind lifted me and only me, like I was in the center of a tiny tornado. Simply lifted me off the ground and the light at the bus stop flashed brightly. Then the wind stopped and all was calm again. After that we were confused and laughed hysterical, like WTF was that! And the lady looked at me in sheer terror. We calmed down a little bit, still had to wait for the bus, it was late. So I checked my watch. It had stopped! In that right moment. I have no idea what that was, but it felt like a weird glitch.” IL

“Many years ago I was driving home about 8:00 PM on a very clear night. As I came to a cemetery on the left I saw a blackish thing ghost-like, not solid about 30 feet up in the air. This thing was about 15 feet or longer long . It was travelling about 20 mph kind of like a stretched out dark cloud. It crossed the road and went behind a house 75 feet the other side of the road maintaining altitude and I lost sight of it. It reminded me of something out of a Scooby Doo cartoon.” DB

“We had tall black bipedal things running around Luke AFB and Davis Monthan AFB back in the 70's when I was stationed at both bases. Both desert bases in Arizona, go figure, like where do they hide in a desert? They seemed to only come out at night. We had one at Luke springboard over a pickup truck containing three security police who were parked near the runway. It scared the absolute hell out of them. Yes, the bases are spooky places, believe me.” Dan

“Back in the mid 80s while out on a hike in Estacada, Oregon my husband and I came upon a game trail and noticed to our left a large patch of dry grass matted down. Then I noticed the top part of a tall tree bent down. Then three large barefoot human looking foot prints. The prints we about 5 feet apart. We could see the toe print as well. We thought 'What idiot would be out here walking barefoot?' Then we heard an owl... that wasn’t an owl or a woodpecker. Now that I know what I do, I don’t think it was a woodpecker. I think we woke it up. We began to get this dead animal smell and I felt dread and told my husband, 'I don’t feel comfortable we need to go.' We walked about 50 yards and came out onto the highway. Yes, they rest out in the forest. This happened at about 11:00 AM.” DD

Bigfoot Habituation in Miller County, Arkansas

I recently received the following information:

I have followed sightings since 1976. That year I encountered a creature I believed didn't exist. The first incident I laughed off. My cousin came running into my bedroom one night, and jumped into bed with me, saying something big just walked by the window. I lived in a community called Genoa. It is in Arkansas, not far from Fouke. A very rural community. We had a horse corral right behind our trailer, so I thought she had just seen a shadow from one of the three horses we owned. I just laughed at her, and went back to sleep.

The second incident happened late in May right before school was out. I was in my bedroom studying for finals. My dad came to door of my bedroom, and motioned for me to to be quiet, and follow him. I followed him to his bedroom. He whispered to listen. Through the open window came a loud sound of maybe an elephant with respiratory problems. I spent a lot of time in the woods, and bottoms, and have never heard anything like that. My dad went to get his .357. He was a retired police officer, and I had never seen him afraid. I begged him to not go out. He finally relented.

A couple of nights later I had to go out in the middle of the night to feed a bawling calf. I was standing there feeding the calf, and I noticed our horses standing up against a pine thicket that connected the corral to the pasture. I had the back porch light on, and my eyes were adjusting to the darkness. I could see the reflection from the light. I counted sets of eyes. There should have been three, but there were four. One set was about a foot above the tallest horses head. The were round, and red. My eyes were still adjusting to the darkness, but I could see the outline of what looked like the shape of a huge person. I was in shock. We stood there eyes locked. It was maybe 20 ft from me. I popped the bottle out of the calf's mouth, and backed to the door. I never told my dad, or anyone for years because the creature could have easily gotten to me, and we came to an understanding. It protected our animals in exchange for the food it took from the horse feed, and the garden. I always knew when they were gone because the coyotes would show up again. PC
