days. Also heard rocks being thrown close to us.
Additional Info: N/A

Description of Creature: Didn't see the animal but it wasn't a growl of a bear and before we heard the growl we smelled
something like a skunk or something that rolled around in a sewage.
DATE: 06/14/11 /TIME: approximately 12:30 AM /LOCATION: Simpson County, Mississippi /TERRAIN: Wooded
OBSERVED: As I was driving south on hwy. 13, I saw what appeared to be a large man with unnaturally blue eyes,
wearing a ghillie suit, standing on the side of the hwy. beside a pine tree.
dditional Info: It's shoulders were slumped, it's head was somewhat pointed and it had the weirdest blue eyes.
Activities of Witness: I was going to meet my brother to pick up my daughter. I saw the eyes in my headlights which
drew my attention. When I focused on the eyes I could make out the creature standing beside a tree watching the road.
Description of Creature: I returned to the location the next day and determined that the "thing" was between 6' and 7'
tall. It appeared to be wearing a military style ghillie suit standing with it's arms to it's sides. It's eyes shown bright blue in
my headlights.
Other Notes: The image of this creature is burned into my memory and I wish this sighting had never happened.
I felt it wanted to do me bodily harm and am disturbed by this event, knowing that they are out there and they are
watching.
Other (Informational or Encounter History in the General Area) Notes: I learned of some prior encounters after the fact.
MONTH: September 22,2011/ STATE: Florida/ COUNTY:Citrus /LOCATION DETAILS: I measured 2 tracks but no pics. I
got a camera phone now./NEAREST TOWN: Floral City/ NEAREST ROAD: 480
OBSERVED: I have hunted in most of the management areas in and around this state. I was on a bow hunt in the Citrus
wildlife management area. I go out 1 hour or so before daylight. I had put my stand out the day before and just parked in
pitch black dark area. I got out and walked to the other side of the suv to get my stuff out, before I could do that I heard
something jump out of the bushes behind me. I stood motionless and a strong smell of defecation was there. I talked
about the smell and it disappeared. I opened the door and got my flashlight to see what was there and it was gone. By
the time daylight rolled around there was six or so more cars that had come through and wipe out all tracks that I could
have found. This was the first of 5 incidents of it. 2. Two weeks later I moved my stand to a different area due to all the
other hunters. I went out an hour before daylight again and parked got in my stand and waiting for daylight. Right before
daylight I heard a call unlike anything I have ever heard before. I have heard hogs, deer, and all other types of animal
calls including bears. This call was not like any of them. As the morning went by more cars and hunters came into the
area. I heard something big running towards me and it sat down 20 to 30 feet in front of me on the only blind spot I had. I
waited for about ten minutes and figured another hunter had sat there, so I cleared my throat to see if it was human and
it got up and ran off real fast. I couldn't see it. 3. Two or three weeks later I decide to go fishing at the gulf and was
driving past the area I hunted at when out of the wood line a big hairy, black Bigfoot ran in front of me with my bright
lights on. It took 3 leaps from wood line to wood line. The run is what floored me. The knees almost hit the ground before
it came up again and out to the side of its foot.
ALSO NOTICED: the doom shaped head and I have hunted the Flying Eagle too
OTHER WITNESSES: myself
NOTE-I lived in Floral City,went to school there until 8th grade.Back in the 60's Remember stories of sightings of the
Skunk Ape in this area as well as Brooksville about 15 miles away. Lots of woods and lakes. Emma
YEAR: 2011/ SEASON: Summer/ MONTH: May/ DATE: 4/15/2011/ STATE: Florida/ COUNTY: Broward County
LOCATION DETAILS: North Mosquito Lagoon/ NEAREST TOWN: New Smyrna Beach/ NEAREST ROAD: A1A
OBSERVED: I'm a fishing guide in Florida for over 25 years and spend apx 200 days on the water a year. On a charter
last month I had a Delta pilot and lawyer on my boat. As we poled into a remote area of the Merrit island National Wildlife
Refuge,I noticed something bent over and walking up a sand bank,apx 100 yards from us. It was just after good daylight.
I thought bear?,hog? as it walked closer,one of my clients noticed it and said,"what the f(*& is that?" I was speechless,it
walked to within 40 yards,stood up and faced us for about 15 sec. It took 3 steps,turned sideways and looked at us over
it's shoulder for another 10 sec,then walked into the mangroves. The pilot said that was a F(*& sasquatch! It was apx.
6/7 ft tall,long reddish brown hair, and was built like a side by side fridge,very square. It's face looked more cave man
then ape. The wind was in our face and we were silent in my flats skiff,I think that is why he did'nt know we were there as
he was hunting the sand beach for food.
OTHER WITNESSES: yes 2/TIME AND CONDITIONS: apx 7a.m. clear warm,wind N/ne 5/10
ENVIRONMENT: mangrove swamp with dry palm islands
Activities of Witness: I was on my way home from my friends house ad took a little shortcut road I know of at 11:30 at
night.
Description of Creature: Two bright yellow/orange eyes about 7 or 8 feet off the ground, taller than my truck, I saw a
faint outline of the creature but it was none the less something huge. and it was black or dark brown.
DATE: 4/22/2011 / TIME: 11:30 p.m. / LOCATION: Suwannee County, Florida / TERRAIN: heavily wooded near
reserve on the river
OBSERVED: I was driving down a dirt road that is not a very commonly used road, unless you lived on it, and as I was
driving I noticed a pair of yellow eyes in the fork of two trees and the eyes were at least 7'6" off the ground. when i saw
them I stopped and put my truck in reverse to see if it was still there. And they were. I honked my horn twice to see if
they were eyes or not and when I did the creature moved slowly from behind the tree and I could then see a glimpse of
him from my truck light. He never ran, he just slowly walked away into the woods. I was so freaked out I don't go down
this road at night anymore. Then the next day I found a dead dear about 50 yd. from were i spotted the creature. The
deer had no bullet wounds, a broke leg, and its guts were hanging out from its underside.
DATE: September 20, 2011 /TIME: 6:30 pm /LOCATION: Webster Parish, Louisiana /TERRAIN: National
Forest
OBSERVED: I arrived at the two small ponds where i have been fishing at about 6:30. I grabbed my gear and headed
to the other end of the lower, larger pond about 150 yards from where i parked my truck. On the way i noticed a bit of
movement across the pond to my left but paid it no mind as there are alot of deer in the area. I settled in on the dam
and started fishing, after a few min i heard a low growl / snort sound coming from behind the dam, from where i was
sitting you couldn't see over the dam so i walked to the top of the dam thinking it was a hog, i wanted to scare it off so I
started flailing my arms making myself as large as possible when i got to the top of the dam there wasn't anything there.
Then i got the uneasy feeling i was being watched. I ignored it and went back to fishing. About thirty seconds after i
returned to my gear, I heard what i thought was a falling tree over my right shoulder about twenty or thirty yards away, a
few seconds later i heard some sort of knocking sound and then a scream, holler, roar sound that told me i definitely
had been warned. i grabbed my gear and ran to my truck like a little girl lol. I started my truck and realized i had left my
minnow bucket and spare pole down on the dam. I stood on my truck for a bit not seeing anything i got my nerve up and
went back after my gear. I got my gear together and was leaving when i heard a splash, writing it off as a fish i
continued to walk back to my truck then i heard another splash i looked over my shoulder just in time to catch a glimpse
of a football sized rock flying over the dam, hitting the middle of the pond. then there was another scream that put me in
my truck in record time. I have never in my life heard anything like it and I've hunted all over the country. And I pride
myself on being a strong guy but what ever it was showed me otherwise, I couldn't have thrown a rock that size twenty
feet much less the forty to sixty it was being thrown. I would like to know what it but I don't think I'll be returning anytime
soon.
the other day. The growling sound when the show first comes on and when it goes to and back from commercial is
exactly what I heard. Does Bigfoot exist ? I don't know, but I heard something that has me thinking now.
Additional Info: Before: usual local creatures , After : nothing The animals native to this area : coyotes, foxes, feral
hogs, bobcats, deer. There was a yard light between me, the field and the woods where the sounds came from. Sounds
appeared to be close, half mile or less
: 7/2/2011 / TIME: 9:45 PM /LOCATION: Wilkes County, Georgia TERRAIN: Wooded
OBSERVED: I was sitting on my back porch smoking with my 2 dogs in the yard about 10 feet from me. Being summer
time I heard the typical crickets, frogs and other usual night time creatures. Off to my left I began hearing a low rumbling
growl sound that went on for about 2 or 3 minutes with an occasional grunt and thumping sound. This was followed by a
very deep, loud, long growl that sounded like nothing else I have ever heard. At first I thought that maybe this was a
feral hog since they are common in the area, but it got louder and more intense as if it was not happy with something.
My dogs stood up, turned towards the direction of the sounds with the hair on their backs standing up. They turned and
looked at me, looked back in the direction of the growls and came up on the porch and got under the chair I was sitting
in, never making a sound. The dogs would not come out from under the chair or make a peep. I went inside the house
and got my oldest son for him to hear this noise. When he came outside the growls continued off and on for 1-2
minutes and then stopped with no further noises. The other creatures were even quiet, not even a cricket chirp after
that. While telling my father in law what I heard he told me that he and his wife said they have been sitting on their front
porch which faces the opposite direction from the direction I was facing when they started hearing loud whooping the
other day. The growling sound when the show first comes on and when it goes to and back from commercial is exactly
what I heard. Does Bigfoot exist ? I don't know, but I heard something that has me thinking now.
Bigfoot Field Research Organization Team to Tackle the Big Apple
(Silver Spring, Maryland, September 28, 2011) - This fall, the Bigfoot Field Research Organization (BFRO) team from Animal
Planet's FINDING BIGFOOT trudges deep into California's Redwood forest to investigate one of the most infamous and
disputed pieces of Bigfoot evidence ever - the Patterson-Gimlin footage. Premiering Sunday, October 30, at 9 PM (ET/PT),
the two-hour special FINDING BIGFOOT: BIRTH OF A LEGEND takes viewers to the site where the notorious footage was
captured to confirm the elusive beast's existence and settle the more than 50-year-old debate originated by the tape.
Outfitted with the latest technology, including night-vision and infrared cameras, the BFRO team also scours the Redwoods to
uncover additional evidence of the presence of Sasquatch. With more Bigfoot signals discovered in the Redwoods than
anywhere else in North America, each broken branch or peculiar noise could mean a Squatch is lurking nearby.
Prior to the debut of the special, the BFRO team will make an appearance at this year's New York Comic Con convention. On
Friday, October 14, at 6:30 PM, the entire cast -- Bobo, Cliff, Matt and Ranae - will debunk Bigfoot myths with a special sneak
preview of the BIRTH OF A LEGEND special. Following the sneak peek, the team will discuss its Squatchin' experiences from
the show and share years of Bigfoot knowledge and research on a panel.
In FINDING BIGFOOT, a four-person team from the BFRO -- a leading scientific research organization exploring the
Bigfoot/Sasquatch mystery -- investigates Sasquatch sightings by interviewing locals, examining evidence and infiltrating the
woodlands and forests in places where Bigfoot has been reported.
FINDING BIGFOOT is produced for Animal Planet by Ping Pong Productions. Keith Hoffman is the executive producer for
Animal Planet. Brad Kuhlman and Casey Brumels are the executive producers for Ping Pong Productions.
