Fort
Knox Bigfoot Encounter
Witness: James (last name on file) County: Washington City: Springfield, KY Date: 6-9-2010 Time:
2:15 AM “This event happened while I was stationed on Fort Knox back in 2010. My unit was out in the field conducting exercises preparing ourselves for the upcoming deployment. As with most units you have a guy awake at all times to keep an eye on equipment and listen to the radio. I was about 15 minutes into my hour long shift when I heard nature's call. I stepped into the wood line to relieve myself when i heard a small rock hit near me. My first thought was that one of my buddies was awake and was throwing them at me. I looked over my shoulder and saw everyone was still in their bags. Thinking it was some other soldier from another unit trying to mess with me I pulled out my 10,000 lumen tactical flashlight to see who was out there. As I scanned the woods in front of me is when I saw it. It was dark brown almost black in color. It stood roughly 7 ft tall and its eyes shined in the light. It let out a grunt then turned and ran deeper into the woods. I stood in shock for a minute then walked back to the humvee trying to figure out what exactly I had seen.” |

James was 22 years old at the time of the incident and a Specialist in the army. He walked about 5 feet into the treeline and as soon as he began to urinate, a series of rocks were thrown towards him. The rocks landed about 10 feet in front of him, some the size of golfballs, some maybe the size of baseballs. He took out his flashlight and scanned the forest in front of him thinking it was a friend playing a joke on him. He didn’t see anything until his second pass with the flashlight. On the second pass the eyeshine caught his attention. The creature was at the end of the flashlight beam, roughly 50 to 60 meters from his position. He remembered smelling something between rotten fish and rotten eggs. Upon seeing the creature, James felt anxious and confused, because he was surprised to see it in a secure military installation. The creature had a high, sloped forehead with a cone-shaped head at the top. The eyeshine was a yellowish-red color. James remembered the eyeshine because it threw him off for a second. The eyes where almond shaped and spaced at a normal distance for the size of its head. The nose was like a mix between a gorilla and human, but hooded. “It looked like the nose was smashed on its face,“ explained James. When the light hit the creature, it opened its mouth enough for James to notice the teeth, which were large and flat, and it had two sharp looking canines. The canines were not very long, just a little longer than the other teeth. The lighter coloration teeth shown fairly clearly. Its arms reached down to about mid thigh. When it moved away, it moved with a grace that didn’t seem right for a creature its size. The dark hair was about 4-6 inches long and flowed in the wind a little as it turned and walked off. He went back to the area in the morning to see if he could find anything and the only thing he noticed were impressions which looked like heel tracks. James
talked to his grandfather about it a couple months later. He did not
report the sighting to his superiors fearing a psych evaluation (they
may discharge him). When James was younger, he grew up near his grandfather
in the Ozark Mountains (Missouri). His grandfather told him about personal
Bigfoot-related encounters in the Ozark Mountains while hunting coon
dogs. He thought his grandfather shared these stories just to keep him
out of the woods, so James didn’t believe him, until now! -

Surrounded Turtle Man's Encounter Date: Winter of 1979 Location:
Tick Creek The next day after his encounter, he returned to the location and found many large branches broken at about eye level. The diameter of the branches were 2-3 inches. On one of the breaks a clump of long black hair was discovered. He presented us with the hair on 11-30-11. The hair was tested and came back "unidentified primate." Sequencing the DNA was unfortunately unsuccessful after 3 attempts. - Charlie Raymond, Lead Investigator
