Bigfoot Sightings

OBSERVED: I was with a new research partner that day that’d never been out looking for evidence before. We got to the area before sunrise, followed the dirt road in and found an area within the swamp that looked promising. I always look for the dry areas within the swamp to conduct my research. There was a small canal next to the dirt road we were on so we fished for a little while until the sun came up a bit. This kind of swamp is not the kind of swamp you want to be hiking through in the dark, it’s filled with gators and venomous snakes. Once the sun came up we hiked into the knee deep water and muck for about three hundred yards or so to a huge semi-dry cabbage palm hammock that had to be at least ten feet high. There were large game trails leading into the hammock. Once again these trails had a “tunnel” shape to them. This does not occur naturally. These trails may have started out as normal game trails on the ground, but they were cleared vertically as well, just like the trail in grassy waters and my first encounter. I have a theory about these trails; I’ll cover that later on in the book. We were looking around catching our breath when all of the sudden some hunters in a very loud swamp buggy started coming into the area. It sounded like they were about a mile away from us, but those buggies are very loud and I figured if there was a chance of seeing a Bigfoot around the area, It just ended. These guys are like bulls in a china shop, man. Part of how they hunt the hogs is to not putt a muffler on the engine; it literally scares the shit out of any living thing in the area, especially the hogs that are bedded down in the thick cabbage and saw palmettos. The hogs jump up and take off out of the thick hammock into the shallow open water in a panic and the hunters start blasting away at the herd like mad men. It’s not subtle at all, but it is effective. The short hike to out to the huge cabbage palms was exhausting; we had no desire to continue at that point now that the shotguns were going off. I suggested we return to the car and drive in deeper to look for higher ground. We were no more than one-hundred yards from the car having just started our hike into the area we were interested in. I was looking down at the trail we were on for a second and when I looked up, there he was in the middle of the trail about a hundred feet ahead of us in mid air. He was around five feet off the ground; his legs were spread like a hurdle jumper. The hair on his body was “Whisping” in the breeze as he flew across the trail at an impossible speed. At first, I thought I was hallucinating. He landed perfectly with no sound at all behind a palm frond at the edge of the right side of the trail. As he landed the muscle in his right peck, right arm and leg shook. He stood still for a second or two. I knew I was not hallucinating now. All of this only lasted maybe 3 seconds. But I got a good look at him. The skin on his face was pale grey. The bone structure of his face was primitive, his nose flat and wide. His eye sockets were darkened and shadowed by his brow-ridge. He did not have the ape-like cranial ridge that is described by so many eyewitnesses including my son. He had a human-type of head, but with a very pronounced brow-ridge and smaller forehead. The weirdest part of what I saw was the hair on his head…It hung down past his huge, bulging shoulders, it was silver and grey, parted in the middle and perfectly straight. It had a shine to it and was actually quite nice looking. “He looked like a rock star, man.” It freaks me out to this day remembering how groomed it looked.

Additional Things: Hunters were firing at hogs and coming in our direction as he flew across the trail in front of us.

Activities of Witness: I was training a new research partner on tracking and expedition techniques that day. We had no intention of seeing anything in the area as hunters were actively shooting hogs nearby.

Description of Creature: He was around 7-7.5 feet tall, long silver/grey hair all over his whole body, and shoulder length silver grey hair on his head. He was very muscular and moved like something out of a science fiction movie. Very fast and powerful. No noise at all

Other Notes: I saw a truck shortly before the encounter/sighting that was unmarked and had tracking dogs in the back. They departed shortly after we got back to the car.

Other (Informational or Encounter History in the General Area) Notes: Yes there have been many sightings in the area over the years.
