Please describe your encounter:
I am a male. In 1982 I was a freshman at Western Kentucky University. My dorm
roommate, and two female friends had spent the weekend with our families in
Owensboro KY. We left Owensboro very late, around 9 pm, in the dead of winter
heading back to Western Kentucky University for Monday classes. The weather
was cold, but no snow, but a dusting of snow flurries about the ground, so I
was driving cautiously. About mid-point between Owensboro and Bowling Green,
on the former toll road that connects the two cities (Western Kentucky Parkway),
I saw a tall human like thing crossing the interstate. It saw my headlights
and stopped in its tracks, blocking my vehicle. I was stunned and so were my
passengers, as we all quietly stared at the apelike human on 2 legs. It slowly
walked into the wilderness, it seemed unfrightened.
Describe the creature with detail: tall, walked on 2 legs,
hairy but hair was long and greyish, very long arms, human characteristics to
the face, extremely tall, approx. 8 feet
Additional Info: I know it happened a long time ago, but I
do believe in this bigfoot creature in the hills of Kentucky. I live in Atlanta
now.
Email Follow-Up 1-14-11
"Sure, it was many years ago (winter 1981-82), but you don't forget something like that. I was born and raised in Owensboro, attended WKU, and now work as an analyst in Atlanta GA. The area we saw the creature crossing the Western Ky Parkway was near Morgantown KY, that I remember very well. By the way, the weather that night was about 20 degrees, that's important, because no human could have stayed outside in the temp that long. This creature was in no hurry either, it was not afraid of my approaching headlights. When I stopped my vehicle in the middle of the expressway, it stood fully erect and look at us curiously. Then it slowly walked away, not frightened at all. The woods between Owensboro and Bowling Green are very thick." -Timothy
Phone interview coming soon!
Note: Coincidentally, we just traveled this stretch on the Western Kentucky Parkway on 1-16-11 returning home from our investigation in nearby Hopkins County where witnesses also viewed a grey sasquatch. We observed a large number of dead deer along this parkway, including one spot where four deer were all struck by a vehicle in the same vicinity. Appeared as if something chased the herd across the road.

Please describe your encounter: Me and a friend were walking
along a tree line at the edge of some woods in the back of bon harbor hills.
We went to check out an old abandoned barn were I had had an encounter before
last fall. My friend was scared to go in the barn since it was about 20 feet
inside the trees and full of overgrowth. I approached the barn armed with a
tomahawked, just in case. We were already feeling like we were being watch.
Suddenly we both start hearing a bunch of squealing and jabbering on top of
the hill above us, then there was big thud. We both took off running, but not
before; I noted an 18 inch track in the dirt near the barn. My friend said he
saw something moving next to a tree, that wasn't there a minute ago.
Describe the creature with detail: Only heard sounds

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!
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.
