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.
