Please describe your (his) encounter: Mr. Earl xxxxx. Lives in a remote part of eastern Kentucky, his home sits about 15 minutes off the main highway no other houses are in sight. His property backs in to a state park which holds thousands of acres. Due to his age (80-85), he could not make the report himself online, a researcher went to his home for his full detail report.

When I (researcher) first met Mr. Earl I could tell he has seen a lot in his life, I deemed him a very honest and sincere man. We spoke at great length about what he calls the “Hill Men”. His first encounter was back in 1985. He was hunting squirrel it was getting dark he was about 35 minutes from his home, when he heard something behind him, instead of turning around he just kept walking towards his home and family, he came to a small river he had to cross after he crossed the river and looked up the hill he seen a bigfoot creature at that time Mr. Earl was in shock he pulled up his 16 gauge shotgun and fired 1 shot at the creature, He said the creature did not move like the shot never went off instead the creature just turned and walked away as nothing happen. As Mr. Earl was telling me the first story he was shaking all over, he said he just wanted to get home to his family is all he could remember. As we moved on to talk about the other encounters he began to calm down a lot. He said he knew the Hill Men were not out to harm him. He could not remember every detail about every encounter but said around a dozen at least. One was a few years later after the 1985 encounter, when him and his wife were outside feeding the chickens it was late he said cause they just got back from a out of town trip and had to feed their animals, When they seen 2 of the hill men creatures standing at the wood line watching them, Instead of running he said he threw some bread there way and went into their home, the next morning Mr. Earl walked outside to where he threw the bread and it was gone (of course birds or another animal could of eaten it).

One encounter Mr. Earl seemed to talk about a lot was one in 1997 when he came across a baby Hill Man. He said he was down by the river setting a trout line when he seen the baby Hill Man playing, he watched it play for close to 10 minutes while eating his peanuts and drinking coffee. He said the baby hill men was breaking small trees, the baby was about 200 yards up a hill from the river. He said he remembered seeing it play then all of sudden it was gone.

Another encounter was when Mr. Earl and a friend was hunting, they seen 3 Hill Men running thru the woods. Mr. Earl said his buddy was scared to death he remembers him saying “Earl, Earl, what, what come on Earl”, as he was telling me this he was laughing. He said he told his buddy it was some boys down the road dressed up as monkeys so his friend would not run to town and tell everyone. His last encounter was last December, Mr. Earl was sitting in his living room when he seen a (hill men) standing 25 feet from his window, The creature was just standing and looking at Mr. Earl for about 5 minutes this lasted, then the creature turned and walked away into the woods. Mr. Earl said he thinks this was the first (hill men) he ever seen. And it was saying goodbye; He thinks the (hill men) left the area. He told me if he didn’t think they left the area he would not be telling me this today.

Describe the creature with detail: Mr. Earl called the creatures "Hill Men". He has never heard of the name bigfoot. I (researcher) Googled bigfoot pictures from my cell phone and showed him, Mr. Earl said they looked the same to him. The details he did give me were that most the (hill men) were 6ft to 9ft tall, Hair covered their entire body, Hair color he said was brown and black in some parts of the body, big hands and big feet, arms were human like other then they seemed very long. I asked him if the body of the (hill men) seem to be shaped as a human. He said yes very much so. When I asked Mr. Earl about the face features of the (Hill men), he said he could never really tell much about their faces other then there was not as much hair on the face as the rest of their body's. I then asked Mr. Earl if the Hill Men made a noise like a dog, he said no, from what he could remember they had noises like a human but seemed to be more flat. I then asked how did they walk, he said just like me and you would and started to laugh again.

Additional Info: Very remote area, with many hills and thick, dense woods for miles around. Creeks and rivers run throughout the area. Mr. Earl seems to have built up a bond with these creatures over the years and didn’t want to tell anyone until now.

Pictures coming soon.
