Witness: Danny (last name on file)
Encounter Date: 10-13-11
Time: 2:30am
Location: Lawrenceburg (exact location on file)
Danny walked outside on his porch to smoke a
cigarette at 2:30am. He hears what he believes is one of his cats, screaming
at the corner of his long driveway. Quickly Danny grabs a flashlight and heads
down his driveway calling for his cat. The cat keeps screaming as it heads across
a creek and up a very steep hillside. Danny follows the sound down into the
creek, all the while calling for his cat. "It became apparent that something
had my cat. The screaming stopped as it traveled up the hillside and it sounded
like it took it's last breath. Whatever had my cat killed it. As I stood in
the creek, calling for my dogs, which remained up by the house, I hear a very
strange sound coming from where the cat was killed. It made three distinct vocals:
like low a dog growl, then a who who who, then series of monkey-like
grunts". Danny, a lifelong hunter, who's never been afraid to be outside,
became very uncomfortable and decided whatever this was, was not anything he's
ever experienced. As he made his way back up his long driveway, something large
fell next to him, like a rock or maybe an acorn; he couldn't tell, but being
nervous, it startled him.
It turns out the cat wasn't his cat, rather Danny believes it was a stray which
he's seen on occasion.
Other info: Neighbors report hearing these same "monkey sounds". A cast was made of a strange three-toed track which was found in the creek (analysis is currently underway).

Phone call received: 7-28-11
Witnesses: Pam G. (mother) and Frances W. (daughter)
Encounter Date: 7-17-11
Time: 11:30pm
Location: (exact location on file)
Mother and daughter were driving from Versailles to Lawrenceburg late one evening. As their vehicle rounded a corner the mother notice a large, hairy, bipedal creature standing on the right side of the road. As the headlights caught the figure standing motionless, the creature then darted across the 2-line road. It took about 3 steps to cross the road. When I asked Pam to describe how it ran she said it kind of “glided” across the road very, very fast. It ran like a man on two legs. The arms hung low by the side and she did not notice an over-exaggerated arm-swing.
Pam stressed
over and over again how “ugly and scary” it appeared. “I hope
to never see it again and I definitely don’t want to go looking for it!”
“It looked like a werewolf, like you would see in the movies.” She
feared for their lives because it was so massive that IF it would have charged
their van it could have killed them. When I asked her to describe the face,
she said it did not have a muzzle, nor did it have ears on top of the head like
a dog or a bear. The ears were not noticeable. It looked like a man’s
face except covered in long black hair which needed to be combed or cut. Long
hair covered the entire face except the eyes and nose. It did have “large
eyebrows”, meaning a pronounced brow. The eyes did not shine nor glow
and the nose was kind of like a man’s, maybe a little wider. The little
amount of skin around the eyes and nose appeared to be dark or black. It stood
about 7 feet tall, had wide shoulders and was completely covered in long black,
unmanaged hair. The hair was dull and had no shine to it. No details of the
hands and feet were noticed as they were covered in hair as well. It entire
sighting lasted less than a minute. After speaking to Pam, I then spoke to Frances.
She also added “it looked like a werewolf in a movie.” It looked
“half man, half animal.” Since the windows were down in the van,
when they drove by the spot where it had crossed, it could be heard crashing
through the woods and they did notice a musky odor.
Both witnessed stated that this area has plenty of deer and since they travel
this road often they tend to slow down for fear of hitting a deer. The KY River
and the county dump are nearby. They have not told anyone for fear of being
ridiculed, which is understandable. I was this first person they contacted.
They both seemed pretty shaken up by their ordeal and never want to see it again.
I of course told they were lucky to have such a sighting and don’t worry,
they’re not dangerous. I doubt I eased their fear. I do strongly believe
they both are highly credible witnesses. The “gliding” across the
road is typical how witnesses describe how a Bigfoot runs. I try to never lead
witnesses in my questioning; rather my questions tend to be open-ended.

Please describe your encounter: On Father's Days June 19, 2011
at 6pm we were all fishing in the back waters of Taylorville Lake. We were looking
at our fishing
lines when we heard a loud sound of limbs breaking behind us I look up and
seen a rock flying though the air above some broken trees, it hit the ground
100 feet from us and rolled to a stop by the water. There was a loud sound of
limbs breaking and trees shaking and then two loud grunts and something running
through the woods. It stopped about 100 feet west of where it started then a
few min later we heard another grunt and more trees shaking and something running
away. I then walked over and pick up the rock and it took everything I had to
caring it back to where the other were standing , I could not throw this rock
it was so big, it weight 50+ pounds.
Describe the creature with detail: I did not see the creature
but the sound of the grunts were very deep and loud.
Any additional Info? I did get a picture of the location and in the
picture you can see the small trees it broke over and a picture of the rock.

Up: 6-22-11
The witness actually called me for a follow-up interview, as he was
disturbed/excited by his encounter. Around 6:00pm on Father's Day the witness
went fishing at Taylorsville Lake with his wife and son. After an hour of fishing
from the bank, something huge came "crashing down" through the forest
on a nearby ridge, breaking large branches, producing heavy footfalls, emitting
loud, deep grunting sounds. As the family turned and watched the dense woods
in disbelief, the father sees a large rock fly through the tree tops and land
about 100 ft from the witnesses. In shock, the family remained motionless, questioning
each other on what just occurred. I few moments of silence go by, then the witnesses
hear the grunts and footfalls move away from their location, along the ridge.
Then after about 30 minutes of silence, the witnesses hear an "ahhh, ahhh,
ahhh" vocalization on the opposite side over the cove they were fishing.
At this time it was decided to leave the area, as the path to their vehicle
was close to the location of the initial "bluff charge". No visual
of what, or who, made the commotion was ever determined.
The rock
was said to "fly through the tree tops" and it's estimated weight
was 50lbs (the witness picked up the rock).
Pieces of the rock broke off as it hit the ground. The moss on top of the rock
indicates it was pried from the hillside
then tossed.
The top arrow
shows a knocked-over tree. The bottom arrows indicate branches on the ground.

Please describe your encounter:
I was on my porch taking a leak, as my wife was using the bathroom and I was
listening to the calm of the night and heard in the distance a "moan-howl"
that was very long in duration for a normal howl and weird in sound and note.
I also noticed a dog in the distance barking... I live in a valley and the noise
sounded as if it was coming somehwere up on top. I contacted a friend who was
into Bigfoot and he suggested I record the sound. The next night at 1:00am I
heard it and it seemed that this time there was a direction it was coming from
and again there were dogs barking, but the note of the moan and the duration
was shorter... I've listened to the Mississippi Howls and the two note up and
down of the moan was longer, staying at one note before changing to the deeper
sound. I was unable to record the sound due to not having a sufficent device.
I am familiar with the vocalizations of animals and owls --this definatly was
diffrent and very well could have "possibly" been a sasquatch sound.
Additional Info: This is my first time with any evidence.
FOLLOW
UP REPORT: 11/4/09
Witness seems very credible and sincere. He has agreed to try and use his camcorder
to record future vocalizations. Here is what he had to say, "I
had came home from a re-enactment this day and upon getting home was tired and
didnt feel like unloading my gear. At the time I was going to bed I didnt want
to leave my stuff in my car so I went outside to unload at abt. 10 min till
midnight. As I walked off my porch I heard (after the event I remembered this)
a "home run" style oodknock/treeknock that I laughed at to myself
because I didnt regard it in anyway because it was abt 300 yrds off or so or
maybe closer. Anyways, as i was loading gear in my box to carry in the house
I heard clear and unmistakeingly a load moan up and down in two note style that
sounded dead on the "frazier howl" or "those we do not speak
of" from The Village movie by M. Night Shaylmalon. When I heard this I
immediately went inside my house and screamed at my wife to come outside to
witness myself I then went back outside and my neighbors dogs where going crazy
we then heard another moan "more on top" because I live in the valley
and it may be the same creature or another calling back. If the same then he
was on the move going more deeper into the woods and cedar thickets. My wife
stated after I went inside to get my digital camera and getting my wife a blanket
to wrap up in, she stated she had heard that it sounded as if one of the dogs
was being killed. I recorded 1:07min of sound but only recorded the dogs going
nuts. I no more heard anything else. After we went inside after about 10 to
15 minutes she asked if the cats where in and if I had a gun. (I traded alot
of guns and such at times) We then agreed to raise the bedroom window and listen.but
we didnt hear anything. When I heard the howl/moan it was a funny feeling of
fear like; This is no sound file on the internet this is REAL, then I imagined
what it would have been like to see such a creature walking across my bottom
toward the house and wasnt funny anymore. The weather was low 60's and a full
moon directly above and it was bright outside for it to be midnight by a quarter
after 12 we were inside. I had previously contacted the B.F.R.O., Kentucky Bigfoot,
and also Philip Spencer regarding some vocalizations I had heard about 1 am
around the second of this month. I am trying to record these sounds and will
be doing more investigation regarding these sounds, (going into the areas I
can looking for sign). It is deer season and I believe that after these hunters
disturb their areas they react much like "turkeys" because they are
vocal like them. You bust a flock up and then in about 20 minutes or so they
are clucking trying to locate/regroup. The last time I heard these sounds was
on a Sunday night. This too was Sunday night, think about it, Weekend deer hunting
pressure makes them dispurse then the quite of no trafffic and sounds (lack
of activity due to people going back to work Monday) provides them a perfect
time to use the "still of the night" to max out their range of vocals
to get the family, or such, back together or locate others. This is all congecture
of course.... but makes sence to me."

Please
describe your encounter:
I was going deer hunting and it was early, before dawn it was a little foggy
and the temperature was changing to colder. i walked into the opening near my
dear stand and i heard footsteps behind me. i then heard what sounding like
screaming. Real low-pitched sounding almost a growl. I got to the dear stand
and climbed up. For about 10 minutes, it (whatever it was) circled the tree
where i was and made these sounds. I would have shot at it but never could see
it because of the fog. I don’t think it was any animal i know of. I stayed
there until about 10am and left. On the trail back, i noticed there were branches
broken off about chest high and i felt like someone was watching me the whole
way.
Describe
the creature with detail: I did not see it but i heard it and smelled
it. There was a terrible skunk smell and the loud growling.
FOLLOW UP REPORT: 2/20/07
Witness has never heard of any sightings in Anderson County until researching
and finding this website. He did not see any footprints the area because it
was very grassy. During the summer he camped in the same area and smelled the
same smell and heard what sounded like footsteps late at night around the campsite.
He was so frightened that he would not look outside his tent. This was on the
same farm near Wildcat Road. He doesn't feel safe going back there without a
gun at "any" time of day. This farm is owned by his father-in-law
and he's very strict about people coming on the property, otherwise he would
invite researchers to come out and investigate. He seemed very sincere, credible
and eager to learn more about bigfoot. He would love to help find one, not to
shoot one, but to help us learn more.

Please describe your encounter:
I was deer hunting off of Wildcat Road on the edge of an old field when I heard
something large crashing through the woods towards me on the other side of the
field. Not a deer. Sounded much bigger & deer don't snap off branches and
large sticks the way this thing was doing. Just before it would have entered
the field where I could see it, the "thing" stopped and issued the
loudest, scariest SCREAM I have ever heard - and I've been roaming the woods
for over 40 years now. Best description I can give would be somewhere between
an elk bugling and a wild pig squealing and it sounded angry. I know that's
applying human attributes to it but that's just how it sounded. That first scream
lasted maybe 5-10 seconds. Then another scream began and I heard whatever-it-was
crashing through the woods back in the direction it had come from, moving very
fast and continuing that second long continuous scream. It was moving so fast
that you could hear the sound of the scream fade as it moved away - kind of
like the whistle of a train. I could hear it for maybe 15-20 seconds before
the scream and crashing faded away completely. On the same farm, there was an
area near an old tobacco barn where we always felt like something was watching
us. And if we walked our (BIG) dogs back there, they'd become nervous &
scared to the point of tucking their tails. Those are the only times I ever
saw them that nervous. Also found a large pile of scat back there once that
I couldn't identify. No bears in the area but this was a large pile of solid
feces containing some fur and lots of seeds, possibly persimmon. Not coyote,
not fox, not domestic dog - I don't know what it could have been from. Have
seen injured deer in the area with what looked like large claw marks on their
sides and something caused similar injuries to a horse in the area as well.
Describe the creature with detail: Did not see anything but
whatever it was sounded huge.
Additional Info: There has been much development in this area
since then. That farm is still undeveloped (and is currently uninhabited) but
many of the surrounding farms have been subdivided & homes have been built
on 5-10 acre tracts.

Philip
Spencer's Reports, 1970 - present
This is a collection of Bigfoot sighting and interaction reports which I have
put together to show how active Anderson County has been over the years.
- Philip Spencer, Bigfoot researcher
1: Man finds huge track and takes picture in 2007
"For the sake of anonymity the farmer will be known as The X Farmer"
In 2007 on a farm on the Harry Wise Road in Anderson County Kentucky a man and
his wife were sitting on the porch relaxing after a long day and discussing
the day’s events. His wife decided towhead inside and go to bed. The X
Farmer sat on the porch in his old rocking chair and listened to the sounds
of the night, crickets chirping, a bird making a sound every now and then, a
dog barking in the distance, and even far away the sound of a lone car or truck
was moving along a road somewhere. As he sat he realized everything had become
very quiet. Everything had not only become quiet but it had become a little
too quiet. He eased up in his chair and listened intently for any sounds that
might tell him why everything else had gone silent. As he sat he heard something
move in a creek approximately 150 feet from his porch. He could hear large limbs
being moved or stepped on. He could tell from the heavy sounds they made that
something was stepping on them or moving them and letting them hit the ground.
He then heard something that chilled him. He heard deep breathing, not really
labored breathing, but deep breathing. This breathing sounded like it was coming
from something very large. It did not sound like the breathing of a person or
any animal he had ever heard in the outdoors. There was something very different
about this sound. The X Farmer sat and listened as whatever this was made its
way down the creek then moved out of hearing distance. He eased up from his
chair and went inside and picked up a shotgun and walked back outside. This
was more a ceremonial move as he was sure whatever this was had moved on, but
he stood on his porch in the dark and listened and watched for a while. He soon
turned and went back inside and retired for the night. The next morning as soon
as the chores were done he went directly to the area of the creek where he had
heard the sound the night before. It had rained slightly and the ground was
wet enough to capture a good track so he had high hopes that whatever had moved
through the night before making those sounds had also left some tracks. He looked
in the area of least resistance where he thought something might have moved
through. It was in the third such section that he saw something on the ground,
and realized he was looking at a huge footprint. He stopped and looked closely
and became extremely excited. He turned and quickly went back to his house and
picked up his phone and called me. When he told me what he had found I asked
him if he had marked the place where the tracks were. He replied no,he got so
excited he forgot to mark the exact location but he said he felt sure he could
find it. I told him to hang up the phone immediately, grab a camera and a measuring
device and go straight to the spot and take pictures and measurements and if
he had anything to make a cast of the tracks to do so. He hung up and did as
I had instructed him to do. When he returned to the area he could not find the
original track which he said was much more distinctive than the two he took
pictures of. The track he photographed is of a right foot. The foot measures
from tip of heel to tip of large toe approximately 20 inches. The pictures are
not the best for showing the track even though the ground was muddy; the ground
was also covered with leaves and just did not take the imprint as well as we
hoped it would. However, I had The X Farmer drawan outline of the foot as he
saw it and superimpose his outline over the actual photo of the foot. The large
toe is a point of interest. From his outline he thinks the creature slipped
and this is the toe imprint showing slippage and that explains the odd enormity
of the big toe imprint. In his outline he also drew inwards in the area of the
arch. He said he thought the creature was leaning or doing something that made
it rise off the arch and dig the big toe into the mud resulting in the extended
looking big toe. As anyone can see this is an enormous track. For the sake of
clarity I outlined the footprint with a thick gray color to show the outline
of the foot better as The X Farmer drew very small red dots in his outline.
The X Farmer was sent my outline and approved the overlay I had done.
2:
1970 Sighting by Philip Spencer
The part of the country where I lived was just beautiful, surrounded by rivers
and streams and creeks, valleys and heavy woodlands, my friend and I loved the
outdoors and all the animals one could encounter in this area, we would often
go out late at night into the valleys and drive down the old roads and take
a powerful spotlight and shine it back threw the valleys along the river bottoms
and look at all the deer and other animals we could spot, and for all you hunters
and anyone thinking we were spot lighting deer, we were not. One night we were
in a remote part of the county, driving along an two lane road near the town
of Glenboro in rural Anderson County Kentucky, on the left of this road was
a small river, actually shouldn’t have even been called a river, it was
maybe 100 yards wide at its widest point and maybe 20 feet deep at its deepest
point, yet it ran for almost 100 miles, and was just so beautiful and on the
sides of the river were open flat bottoms, rich & lush , but many were not
covered with trees or brush and this is where you could see large herds of deer
at night. We drove to a place on the road where the road went up and at this
point one could shine the light down into a large open area where the river
made a turn and headed west, this was an excellent place to see animals, I was
holding the spotlight, I seem to remember it was 1 million candle power, I was
the passenger with my friend driving, I was holding the light out the window
and pointing it over the car top and shining it threw the valley as we drove
slowly along. We were looking at all the deer in the valley and then as I swept
the light along we saw something odd, it was hard to tell exactly what it was
at first, my friend stopped the car and I put the light on the area where we
saw this large shape, it was then it turned and looked in our direction, we
saw two huge eyes, they were about 4-6 feet above where any of the deer eyes
were and they had this reddish orange glow to them. We both looked at each other
and my friend then pulled the car to an old gravel road and we turned around
and pulled over at the same place we had been, now I was on the side where I
could work the light better. I swept through the valley looking for the dark
shape, I finally saw it and it was moving, moving down the valley , as it moved
and I held the light on it, it would turn its head and look back at us, we would
see those large eyes as it did. It was very easy to tell this was a creature
with two legs and it was walking (briskly) upright, the way it turned its head
reminded one of a person doing the same as its upper body turned slightly with
the head. This creature was approx 8 to 10 feet tall, it was large and bulky,
both my friend and I were experienced outdoorsmen and this was not anything
we had ever seen before, the creature moved down the valley in the open area
till it was out of sight. We watched as this creature stepped over an old fence
which I would say was 3 to 4 feet tall, it never broke stride it just stepped
over the fence and vanished into the night. We cannot say what this was, but
we can say what it wasn’t, it wasn’t a bear or a person, those deer
would have been long gone if it was either of these, and the deer only moved
away from this creature as it moved away, they never panicked and ran. In this
same area several years later I was walking down the old rock road, which is
refered to as River Road and was going to fish the river. As I was walking along
suddenly to my right and up a steep hillside I heard a loud crashing in the
thick woods on the hill. Suddenly a very large doe came down the hill side as
hard as she could go and jumped the road and then jumped in the air down a very
steep and tall incline and into the field and ran as hard as she could go out
of sight. I stood and thought what in the world scared that deer so bad. It
was then I heard something moving up on the hillside. As I stood and listened
i realized that whatever this was walking on two feet and to me it sounded like
it was large as it walked, somewhat a walk that inferred to me something with
great weight was moving on that hillside. I listened as it moved and I decided
to move also, I decided I would much rather be in an open area and I moved down
the road and honestly I was hoping to see this creature as I suspected this
was the same Sasquatch I had seen years before. I came to an open area where
on the right was a little shack with a creek to its left and the end of the
hillside where whatever this was had been walking. The creature had beat me
to the place and there was no sight of anything other than a log on the hillside
was freshly moved and I have always suspected this was wear the creature put
his foot and it slid, this was not a small log and it was old and embedded but
something big had made it move and it was fresh disturbance. I never saw anything
and found no tracks. But I will always believe this was the same creature I
had seen walk through the River Bottom of Salt River near Glensboro in Anderson
County.
3: Boy & Girl See Bigfoot Sitting on Log
This story was reported to me and was second person told. The person who told
me this was a close friend with one of the witnesses and spoke with the witness
for me as I wanted to do an interview with one of the witnesses however, this
sighting had such a negative impact in this person that they did not want to
talk about it, at all!
The brother and sister lived on the Harry Wise Road in Anderson County Kentucky,
one day they were walking down a path behind their home as they had done many
times before and as they turned a corner they were both frozen in their tracks
by what they saw. Sitting on a log was a Bigfoot. They said the creature looked
at them and then got up and turned and walked away.
4: Two men see Bigfoot walking on Ridge in Anderson County Kentucky
in 1970's.
Bruce Young and his friend decided it would be a good time to go for a ride
and enjoy the late afternoon while riding the back roads of Anderson County.
As they rode along they talked about cars, hunting and girls. As they were cruising
down Hammond Creek Road Bruce glanced up and as he did he saw something moving
along the top of a hill. He stopped the car and told his friend to look up there
and see what he was seeing. Bruce jumped out of the car and stood staring at
the middle line of the hill and this creature he was watching move along the
top. It was just after sunset but there was plenty of light to see this creature.
He described it as being seven feet tall or more, huge in size and to him it
looked like a massively built, hairy, manlike creature. He
stood for what he thought was maybe 30 seconds watching the creature move along.
Bruce was approximately 50-60 yards away and he said as he watched he realized
he was having what is known as, "goose bumps” appear all over his
body. Bruce said the creature moved in what he described as an easy gait, and
the hair was long and dark brown. Bruce Young viewed nature much differently
after that moment. His thoughts on life and nature were altered. He was a changed
man, and what changed his life was a huge, hairy, manlike creature known as
Bigfoot.
4: Elderly Couple See Large Creature walking tree line late 1990's.
The elderly couple had lived on the Harry Wise Road for over fifty years and the man was an avid outdoorsman and hunter. This story was told to me by a friend of the couple and not from the man himself as when I was in Kentucky and had the opportunity to go and interview the man in person, he was sick. He is in his late 80's. One afternoon as the woman was in the kitchen she saw something back in the field moving along a tree line and she called her husband to come and look. The man watched closely as this animal walked along the outer edge of the tree line. With eyes sharpened by spending his life outdoors he watched until the creature moved back into the woods and was gone. This sighting was in the late afternoon. When he would tell the story of what he saw he would say it was a bear walking on its back legs as that just had to be what it was, however, he also would say it was huge, bigger than anything he had ever seen or thought would be in the area. The friend who told me the story said the old man's eyes seemed to take on a different look when he spoke of this sighting, a look for wonder and a look as if he was saying something did not really believe but was the only way he knew to explain it.
5: Man reports seeing large creature walking along top of hill.
I received a report from a friend who told me a man who owned property near Taylorsville Lake in Anderson County had watched a large creature walk along the edge of his property which overlooked the lake below. The man stated this creature was huge and walked upright on two legs and was looking in the direction of the lake every now and then as it moved along the ridge of the land. He said the creature finally turned and went down the hill towards the lake and he never saw it again. The man was adamant of what he saw and wanted to remain anonymous as he did not want to deal with the ridicule of his friends and neighbors which are something that people feel in reports like this very often. I spoke to this man at the gate to his property and I believe what he said. His sighting was in the late 1990's.
6: Lynn Hutton and his son have amazing sighting in 1993 In Anderson
County Kentucky.
Lynn Hutton has lived in Anderson County his en-tire life and is a very likeable man. He and his family have lived in the small community of String Town for many years, which is just a short distance to the south of Lawrenceburg. Like many in this rural part of Kentucky, Lynn has been a hunter for most of his life. It was on a scouting trip on the Bonds Mill Rd. in the fall of 1993 to check for a place to deer hunt that Lynn and his young son’s lives were changed forever. Lynn and his son were walking down a pathway alongside a dense cedar covered field. They were looking for signs of deer and a good place to setup for deer hunting. They were in an area approximately two miles from Panther Rock. As they were walking along suddenly a large, hairy, manlike creature stepped out of the dense cedars and walked directly in front of them. This creature was within 20 feet of both Lynn and his son. The creature as well as Lynn and his son both flinched when they saw each other. Lynn and his son were both frozen in place as their minds tried to understand what they were seeing. This creature was very tall, thick and heavy. It was covered with long matted hair. The creature had stopped and turned its head to look at Lynn and his son and then it did something extremely odd. It stopped and with its eyes locked on Lynn and his son it walked backwards into the cedars from where it came. Lynn and his son were not only startled, they were scared out of their wits. Lynn grabbed his son and headed back and out of where they were as quickly as he could. It was many years before Lynn or his son told their story. But over time Lynn told some friends and this was how the story came to me. Lynn and I had known each other for many years, we had attended school together and when I found his phone number and gave him a call it was good to speak with an old friend. As I spoke with Lynn about his story I could tell from his voice that he was telling me something he unequivocally believed. I could hear not only the sincerity, but the conviction and honesty of someone who had something happen to him that was damn hard to believe, and damn hard to talk about. I could also still hear the fear in Lynn’s voice, even after all the years, as he told of the moment this creature walked out in front of him and his son, and changed their lives forever. The one aspect of this story that I found extremely interesting was how the creature walked backwards with its head turned toward Lynn and his son and reentered the cedar covered land. This aspect of his sighting just made me think about the mind of this creature and what it was thinking at this moment. Its coherent mind and its humanlike response to walking into a situation that not only surprised it but made it realize it could be in danger. The creature did not attack, it did not show aggression, it did not freeze and stand still like it was petrified nor did it run away. It calmly backtracked its way exactly where it had come from, slowly and methodically retreating into the wilderness. The eyewitness states that the creature never lost eye contact with them until they fled. This one moment in this sighting event tells a great deal about this creature we call Bigfoot. From this sighting we find a nonaggressive creature that apparently holds no ill will toward man and hasno desire to hurt or interact with man. We have a creature that is intelligent enough to calmly retreat while watching the humans who have startled it, a creature smart enough to not panic and possibly get it killed or injured. We have a creature that shows many levels of understanding and thought along with a level of intellect that many would think impossible from a creature many consider a savage, unintelligent animal. We see a creature that actually acts like us, in many ways.
7: Man and his children have sighting on Harry Wise Road in 2006.
I spoke
with the man through email and his report is also listed online so I will respect
his desire to remain anonymous and as his story is public, report it here. The
man has had multiple visual sightings as well as hearing what he thinks were
the sounds made by a Bigfoot. Here is his sightings in his own words: "Quote"
it was a warm summer day of 2006 my kids and i were fishing in small pool from
a creek off of harry wise rd. It stepped out of the tree line about 25ft away
and at first It looked like a large man in brown carhartt coveralls. The whole
thing lasted less then a minute, it stood there and starred at us. I looked
over at my daughter and she was pale white she saw it too, when i looked back
it was gone it had stepped back into the trees just a stealthily as it stepped
out of them. This is not the first time ive seen this creature , Once in the
summer of 1990 but i dismissed it as me seeing things. Then i saw it again two
years ago in a tree line, all of the sightings have been close to the set of
three red dots. There have been numerous other times other family members have
heard what i believe to be its strange howls. As well as a few sites where trees
have been scratched up as high as 7 feet in the air like something was dulling
its claws. There was a peak of strange activity in the late 80's where there
seemed to be allot of activity however at that time there where people living
off of Bailys run and after they left the sightings quit of course."End

Bigfoot In The Trees (Tami Mercer)
On Sunday December 5th of 2010 I interviewed Tami Mercer on the phone for 45
minutes from her residence in Kentucky, Tami at one time lived in Lawrenceburg
Kentucky in Anderson County. In the interview I took details of three incidents
in her life that had a long term impact on her and still does today. As of 2010
Tami still does not like to go to windows at night and she does not like to
go outside at night in the dark alone or even with someone. As she told me and
relived these events I could hear her fear and I could even tell she was shaking
after all these years later. With Bigfoot the main character in two of the events
and what might have been a Bigfoot in the third story with her step grandfather
involved. In
the late 1970;s Tami Mercer and several of her friends were playing outside
at a trailer park on the east side of Lawrenceburg Kentucky. They were just
messing around playing as kids play. Tami glanced over to the east in a large
field and near the tree line she thought she saw a strange looking tree. It
was cold and in the winter time. Jokingly she said "that tree is coming
for us" or something of that nature and they all laughed but as they looked
something happened. The strange looking tree moved. It not only moved but it
moved in their direction. This large hairy creature came across the field and
at the children who started to panic and run. This creature fits the description
of the creature Bigfoot. One unusual aspect of this sighting was the color.
Tami stated it was a gray color and noticeably gray. Tami stated that several
times before on foggy morning she would see something walking in the same area
where the creature walked out of the woods. Tami ran inside and hid in her trailer
as she was convinced whatever this thing was , it was coming for them. This
sighting was on U.S. 62 on the eastern side of Lawrenceburg Kentucky and occurred
in the afternoon and the sighting occurred in late November or early December
of the late 1970's. A more detailed description was not possible other than
large and hairy and a grayish color with long hair.
9. Chased By Bigfoot (Tami Mercer)
In the early
1980's, possible 82 or 83, Tami and a friend were out in the area of the Wildcat
Road in Anderson County Kentucky. Young teen aged girls just wandering around
and walking along on frozen creeks and talking and shooting a 22 caliber rifle
they had with them. As they came up to an area where they had hillsides on both
sides Tami and her friend started to cross a barbed wire fence and Tami went
over the fence first and as she turned to help her friend she heard what she
said was a "heavy" sound on the hillside. The hillside was typical
of Kentucky hillsides with a mixture of Dirt and rock. As both girls looked
up what their eyes saw froze them. Tami said it was like she was trying to think
what she was seeing but what she was seeing was not something that made sense
to her brain. In her mind she was thinking is that a man or is that a bear but
she knew it was neither. Standing on the side of the hill was a huge bi-pedal
creature with long hair. According to Tami the reason they looked up to the
area where the creature was standing was because it was doing something and
making noise. She was not able to tell what it was doing but was certain it
was involved in some kind of activity and when Tami said " Oh Sh**!, What
is that? " the creature turned and looked at them. When it did the girls
ran as fast as they could. The creature then pursued them. The girls could hear
the creature coming through the woods behind them and Tami stated that somehow
it was gaining on them and it must have been very fast as they were fast and
running as hard as they could and how this huge creature could not only run
this far but start to catch them, she just doesn't understand.
She could hear branches breaking and crunching sounds as it seemed to be gaining
on two girls who were very fast runners. Tami said she never looked back she
just ran as fast and hard as she could. As the terrified girls ran they came
out of the woods and into a clearing (open field) and when they did the creature
stopped and did not pursue them any further. Tami said the creature was dark
in color and had long hair that was not matted but looked unusual. It was huge
and bi-pedal. This sighting occurred in the winter and in the afternoon. Tami
stated she thinks this event took place in 1982 or 83. It seems that whatever
the creature was doing occupied it to a level that someone shooting a gun or
talking and laughing had no impact.

Strange Creature in the Night (Tami Mercer)
In the mid 1980;s Tami was visiting with her step grandparents who lived near
the Mercer and Anderson County Line. Things had had been happening at night
that kept upsetting her grandfathers dogs. One night while she was visiting
she heard something at the window and looked around and thought it was her grandfather
outside messing around and trying to scare her. She walked over to the window
where she heard the noise and through the curtains back expecting to see her
grandfather. But it was not her grandfather she saw. What she saw was a huge
hairy creature looking in the window and it had no nose nor mouth. She panicked
and ran. From the information she later gathered her step Grandfather was outside
and something happened to him that involved a light. When her Grandfather came
back into the house he was mumbling and dazed. He was not able to remember anything
that happened outside and he also apparently had memory loss for that time period
as this happened very near Christmas and he could never even remember Christmas
of that year and time. All she knows after that is when he grandfather went
outside there was some kind of light and something happened to her grandfather
and when he came back in he had no memory of what happened. Tami stated his
entire life he never could remember what happened when he went outside but he
knows something did happen. Tami stated the creature looking in the window as
huge and did look like the other two Sasquatch she had seen but this creatures
hair was somehow different even though it was covered with hair. Tami also said
the face had no hair nor did it have a nose for certain, and maybe no mouth
but she could see the eyes clearly. Tami often thinks about why she is someone
who had these events on her life and she also told me that she thinks over and
over what that creature was doing on that hillside and what would have happened
if it had caught them. These events and sightings have caused a deep impact
on her and causes her to reflect on these events often. All three of these events
happened in the winter time in Ky and Tami thinks they were between November
and January.
