Report Received From: The GCBRO Online Report Submission Form.
 
Report Posted To GCBRO Web Site On:  October 10, 2005

DATE:    September 11, 1983
 

TIME:     11:00 pm
 

LOCATION:   Franklin County, New York in the Adirondack Mountains
 

TERRAIN:    Heavy woods, stream and very hilly.
 

OBSERVED:    I was camping with four friends on some state land. From the topographical maps we had, we were about ten miles away from civilization in any direction. It was desolate and no one was around. We were all sitting by a campfire we had made and drinking beer, when we all heard a very loud yell. It was a sound I never heard before and one I could not describe. It did not sound like any animal I heard before. What was odd was that moments before we heard the yell, it seemed as though nature became very quiet. I did not hear a sound, or any of the usual sounds you often hear in the woods at night. That sound scared the daylights out of me and I do not scare easy. From all the reports I have read recently from others who reported strange noises I feel pretty confident it was a Bigfoot I heard that night. I did not see anything nor did I smell any fowl orders, but whatever made that noise was no more than fifty yards away. Whatever made that noise was huge and I convinced myself that he had to be some mountain lion or something else in the cat family, but it did not sound like a cat and I could not come up with any rationale explanation. I still can't. Anyway, I figured I should report this and have.
