Please describe your encounter: I was near the northwest end of bon harbor hills were a lot of coal mines used to be, and some entrances are still open in places deep in the woods. Me and my dad were checking out a dam that my uncle was enlarging next to a small pond. My dad had walked back down to a veg. garden my uncle and his son were growing, so he didn't experience it. I could feel a presence looming over me up the ridge about 100 feet away. I stepped into the woods and immediatly knew I was out of bounds, literally. I was right next to a teepee type of structure that I had read about as being possible boundary markers. I began studying it when WHAM!!!, out of nowhere this 5-7 pound rock grazes my ear and nocked the teepee over. I was frozen where I stood. I looked in the direction of were the rock came from. I didn't see it at first, but then I saw an about 7-9ft. large shadow jump from behind a large oak tree at the top of the ridge. "IT" took off going down the other side of the ridge, and I took off in the opposite direction back to my vehical.

Describe the creature with detail: 'VERY LARGE about 7-9ft. Very shaggy looking.

Additional Info: Lots of ridges & deep ravines. Also there are a few coal mine entrnces still open in the area. A few months prior, a very loud scream eminated out of a near by ravine followed by a hoard of animals fleeing the area, FAST.

Follow-Up Interview: Witness appears very sincere and credible. He added, "I did however look for hair samples on branches and did find possible footprints, Very large possible footprints. Bon harbor hills is just northeast of Owensboro. The incidents took place to the northwest of Ben Hawes state park." Witness will attempt to photograph the teepee structure and possible footprints in the days to come!

Daviess County - Owensboro Aug., 1978

Residents of the 2800 block of Fairview Drive reported that they had witnessed a huge dark colored BF creature on several occasions observing them from the safety of the nearby woods. It was 8 to 10 ft.tall, they claimed, and 4 to 5 ft. wide at the shoulders. It usually appeared in the evening hours and was said to smell like 'decomposing bodies'. Tracks were found which measured 14 to 16 inches long and 6 to 7 inches wide. Evidently the authorities were unable to help so a posse formed to rid the newly developing neighborhood of the giant, smelly menace. They reportedly fired on the creature with .45 calibre rifles to no apparent effect. It ran away leaving no blood trail,just a peculiar wet spot on the ground where it had stood.
