Bigfoot Sightings

Report Received From: The GCBRO Online Report Submission Form. Along with continued E-mails between Bobby Hamilton and the Witness, of various incidents and encounters that span many years. All attached at the bottom of this report.

OBSERVED: This is a long report. First I will list things that I was involved with, and some things have taken place over the past 20 or so years. Until some three years ago, I had no opinion in regard to the existence of Bigfoot. Many years ago, I had seen the Patterson film on TV, but felt if the animal existed, it was found in the Pacific Northwest and not here. After much research and personal experiences, I have reason to believe that these animals are found here in WV and neighboring states. I've asked some of my elderly relatives for stories of odd things that they experienced, and some of the things they tell me seems to be Bigfoot related also. Let me tell my experiences. I live in a dead ending hollow, there are only 9 other houses in this hollow. It is hilly, woody, with some caves and rock outcroppings, a winding creek on two sides of my property and my nephew tells me a pond back on the hillside from my house. There are deer and other game animals. Some neighbors raise gardens. Some have livestock. Typical of rural; country settings. I've had something that sounded like it was bipedal walk on my roof. It took very large steps and went from one end to the other in a matter of seconds, after which it jumped off the roof, which was directly over my bed, which caused the window to vibrate to the point that my first thought was that it was crashing into the window. I was terrified! One early morning hour, still before sun up, something hit the side of my house. It sounded like a man slapped his hand hard against the siding. I have heard tree/knocking on three different occasions, 2010. The first time was spring, around 9:30 in the a.m. These tree knocks occurred for some 15-20 minutes. When my friend arrived, I asked her to listen and she heard it also. The second time was a summer evening around 7:30 p.m. getting dark. I was sitting on my screened in porch, it sounded farther away than the first time, but I still went inside and locked the door. The third time was labor day, around 9 a.m. I heard a repetition of 4-5 knocks, twice. Then no more. Late summer of 2009, my brother (#1) and I were playing guitar on my screened porch, and an animal yelled/screamed/roared, twice. It was very loud, it had a huge lung capacity. The roar started upward, and bass tones, ending in a growling sound. It is very hard to describe the sound, but I won't ever forget it and would recognize it if I ever heard it again! The dogs had been barking constantly until the roar/scream then they went dead quiet. It was only after the second scream had ended that the dogs resumed barking. My brother and I were very disturbed, he went home and I went inside and locked the door. I was terrified again! My Mother used to live down the hill from me, and on two occasions, my daughter, once with her three little ones with her, and once she and I were alone, there after dark an animal screamed at us like a woman screaming. We were very scared! Last fall I was working outside and something threw an acorn at me. My friend laughed at me, but later on another day, something threw a green persimmon at her. She brought it back to the house to show me and explain that it landed just in front of her in the driveway. She heard tree/knocking several times last summer on her way from the driveway to my house. She would tell me and I would go outside to listen, trying to hear it and record it. But I didn't hear it, except the times that I list here. I had never seen a persimmon before. When I asked my nephew if he knew where a tree was located, he said the only one in this area was way back on the hill behind me. My brother (#1) has several dogs, two are huge Great Pyrenees. These dogs are constantly "patrolling" the area. They don't normally bark unless something is bothering them. Sometimes they will show up in my yard in the night and begin barking at something, and then chase something off the hill, further on up into the hollow and sometimes double back and they will go into the tree line close to my house they will also bark in the farthest part of the hollow. They frequently chase something in the neighborhood and bark frantically. There are more of these nights than not. Its very unnerving, when it seems that they see and hear things that we don't. Now to other things that seem to be Bigfoot related. I have three brothers, and they all used to live further up into the hollow where it dead ends. Brother #1 has property that dead ends in the hollow. He has always raised chickens. He also has some miniature horses and sheep. For years, something would kill his chickens, rob his chicken feed and one time he had a couple of dozen eggs incubating in a cage outside, and in one night every egg disappeared. No shells were found. One night he called me and told me he heard what sounded like "monkeys" chattering on the hillside near the house and the dogs gave chase. One April day a couple of years ago, we were talking on the phone and he was sitting on his porch, he had me to listen to the sound of what sounded like a baby crying, but also sounded like an animal. Some twenty years ago, brother #1 was putting an addition onto his house, after work in the evenings, my husband would help him. We would hear strange moaning/bellowing/bass sounds. I would ask is it a bear or bobcat, but we never knew. The sounds came from the end of his property that consisted of caves and dark woods. Nobody ever went back there. Then in February of 2009, brother #1 said he saw a Bigfoot in front of his house. He said it was kind of turned sideways keeping an eye on the house and the chicken house. It was almost dark. My brother yelled out "What the heck is that!" and ran to the front door, and didn't see it again. He had a light attached to a shed across from the chicken house and he told me that he couldn't keep bulbs in it, something kept breaking them. That was prior to seeing the Bigfoot. He said he felt the Bigfoot was male, brown coloring, muscular, big, but not fat, and about 7' tall. One early fall day a couple of years ago, Brother #1's wife went outside to feed the dogs and she heard tree/knocking and something growled at her. After Brother #2 found out that Brother #1 saw this creature, he related that he had seen something similar on two occasions, the 12th of February and the 14th of February. Both sightings at night. One was at the side of Brother #1's porch. Brother #2 said he thought Brother #1 was standing outside in the dark with his arms crossed over his chest (Brother #1 is 6' tall and over about 300 lbs.) Brother #2 described it as a "linebacker" size comparison. Brother #2 said he opened the screen door to yell at what he thought was his brother, when the light went out and he didn't yell. On the 14th when he saw the animal, he said it appeared smaller than the first. Brother #1 had left his driveway about an hour prior, but the car was then coming down the road, and Brother #2 told him that when the creature heard the car approaching he "booked" it up the driveway; heading for the dark part of the hollow. Brother #3 used to live on the other side of the hollow. One night something yelled at him that sounded like a woman screaming, he said the hair on the back of his neck stood up. He is over 6' tall and 350 lbs and he was scared! He also heard what sounded like some type of "big" bird whistling at night in that area. We have had dogs disappear, killed or wounded several times in this hollow. Brother #1 and I lost our long time family dogs, when they were each broken in their backs about a year apart. Brother #1 has had his dogs legs broken. Brother #3 had a Pit Bull on a chain/doghouse and something broke her leg, and finally killed/strangled her. Before that happened Brother #3 said he went to check on her because she was barking so much, and she was as far back inside her house as she could go and was shaking so badly that the chain was beating up and down against the floorboards of the doghouse. This past July when Brother #3 (has moved out of state) was visiting Brother #2 for a few days, he said that one night something large walked outside across the deck, he could see its large shadow go past the window. Years ago, Brother #2 was burning some old building materials late at night, and was waiting beside the fire for it to die down. He said all of a sudden his dogs that had stayed by his side all this time, "high-tailed" it to the house, leaving him alone. Something came charging down the dark hillside across from him, the direction from Brother #1's place, and it would "stomp and growl" up the creek toward him, and turn and go back, without being seen. This happened repeatedly. Brother #2 began piling the wood back on the fire and calling for his dogs. He had a big scare from that! Brother #2 also had a dog in a large fenced in enclosure that died/possibly strangled, there was a large caved in place against the screen. Just a little over a week ago, I heard the dogs chasing something that night and barking frantically, then one of the dogs whimpered in the way a wounded dog will do. Later I told brother #1 what I had heard, and he said that one of his dogs, had a gash across his neck. I also learned of some interesting accounts when I asked some of my older relatives if they had ever seen anything "odd" or different. All these things took place in remote areas of WV. There was a place near my grandparents farm about 2 hours from where I currently live, that people claimed to see a "headless" man. This happened in the 1940's. They would walk in the country, at night, with no flashlights. I am of the opinion that if one of these creatures were standing in the dark, only the moonlight for limited light and at a distance, they could appear to be a "headless" man. Their heads sit directly low upon their shoulders. Our minds try to equate the things we see with things we understand. Since Bigfoot reportedly has little or no neck, a large head, slightly pointed would appear to look like a neck in the dark, thus a "headless" man! My Uncle used to go "courting" and walk home in the dark. He had to cross an old fashioned swinging bridge, many times he would hear someone walk up on the bridge and follow him, but he could never see anyone. One night there were several boards ripped up off the bridge, but my Uncle saw it just in time not to fall through! He also was walking around the footpath near this bridge late one night and met "a very large; hairy dog on all fours" in the moonlight, he reached out to touch this "big dog" and it simply walked further up on the hillside and went around him! No sound came from the animal. This same Uncle and one of his brothers were riding horseback and came to a certain place near the woods, and the horses would not continue, they had to fight with the horses to get them to move onward. But coming back that way later in the day, they had no trouble with the horses passing by that way. The elder of these brothers also had something shake trees when he walked past in a very remote place. When my Uncle made his return trip he stopped at that same place and tried to shake those trees and could not cause them to move he said. Another brother of theirs used to walk that road early in the morning around 4:30 a.m., he would hear something on the hillside whistle. So one morning he whistled back, and he said something tore down the hillside breaking trees and branches as it came. My Uncle hid behind a corncrib and was scared to death! In the 1960's I had two cousins that experienced things in this area near the swinging bridge. One cousin and his friend were "gigging frogs" near the swinging bridge, when a very large hairy "thing" came up out of the water near their canoe. My cousin broke a boat paddle over its head while escaping. His brother had an experience of being chased around a foot path near this bridge. He said it was a very large hairy thing with red eyes. He was in such a hurry to make his escape he came straight down the hillside hitting the creek as he fell and he said his feet didn't' stop running until he was home! Not far from this location, one of my Aunts said that she saw a "Big" cinnamon colored grizzly bear. She said it was huge. But I have never heard of grizzly bears in WV. So I am led to wonder if it were a bear that she saw. She also told me that her sister, a night guard for a coal mine, had several times seen a "big black hairy creature"! I have to say that the way I view the woods and outdoors is very different now. When evening falls, I close my window shades. I don't work outside after dark anymore. I'm always on alert when I'm outside in my yard. I'm cautious. I'm fearful and I don't like that! My saner moments I tell myself that I have lived here for more than 30 years and I've not been harmed. But then the irrational side of my brain starts playing the "what if" game. What if there isn't enough food for them that winter? We are no match for the size and strength these creatures possess. And some reports I read say they have a good deal of intelligence...it seems a lethal combination to me! I believe that it is just a matter of time until there will be conclusive proof of these animals existence. At first, my son-in-law scoffed at the idea of an animal called a Bigfoot. Calling it half man and half ape. But I corrected him telling him that it is wholly animal. It is an unclassified animal. But that one day that won't be the case! I hope I live long enough to see that happen, and those that scoff at the idea will come to know that there are still many animals to be "discovered"!

Activities of Witness: Brother #1 was putting firewood in his stove and looking out his front window. Brother #2 was smoking on his screened in porch.

On 1/16/2011 I received this message from the witness.

I submitted a report a couple of days ago, but I just remembered something else that may or may not be related to Bigfoot, if it was, then it is somewhat humorous. When my Mother and Step dad (now deceased) first moved into this hollow, there was only one other house at the forks of the road. Then you came into a very over-grown valley (weeds grown over the head) and a very muddy trail that served as a road. At one time there had been a log house that had sat across the creek (but only some of the foundation remained) and subsequently my Step dad plowed and always grew a garden there. But it had been many years since anyone lived in the valley. The first summer or next I'm unsure, around 1974-75, my Step dad planted a cornfield. It being on the right as you entered the valley, over the hill from the other house. My Step dad always had nice gardens, and the corn grew large and tall and was ready for harvesting. When my Step dad went out to collect his ears of corn, he could not find one ripe ear (they had been ready the day before)! He thought that perhaps his only neighbor (whom he didn't know at the time) had helped himself to the crop! Maybe, or maybe not?

Another thing that my Nephew told me (he hunts in this valley) said that there is a place in the woods that he and his brothers always avoids. They haven't seen anything there, but he says he gets the most creepy feelings when there and so they avoid it. He says that it seems to be dark in there no matter the time of day. He and his brothers gave it a name, but I can't remember what it was. I think he said it had a lot of moss there. He would make a shuddering motion with his body when he talks about that place.

I also forgot to add to my report, that I had asked my Son, who used to ride his motorcycle all over these hills if he had ever seen or heard anything unusual, and he said that one time something that sounded very large growled at him (it growled loudly apparently as he heard it over the sound of his motorcycle!) He didn't see anything, but then again. he said he didn't waste any time looking! He high tailed it out of that part of the woods. He also said that he and (the Nephew mentioned a couple of times now in my reports), were riding and found what they thought was attempts by kids to build a fort out of logs. That was at least 15 years ago.

Another thing that I forgot to include in my reports that I heard about, was in regard to my Uncle that lives across the creek from me. He always raises a garden, consequently there are a lot of deer that poach from his garden. My Uncle "hampers" the deer's efforts, lets just say. I've heard that one time when he was disposing of the remains a "very large, what he thought was a Wolf, was watching him, hiding from the weeds". That would have happened 3 or 4 years ago. This was related to me by his daughter, when I inquired if they had seen or heard anything unusual during the time of the scream/roar that my brother and I heard that night when we were sitting on the screened porch. She said that she heard it, but others inside the house at the time did not.

A couple of days ago, I was sitting upstairs at the computer, when I thought I heard tree/knocking, I heard what sounded like four raps. I opened my window to see if I could hear better and more, but I didn't hear anything more. So I can't be sure if it was or not.

On 1/17/2011 I received this message from the witness.

Just this a.m. around 4:30 a.m. Brother #1's dog kept barking at something on the side of my property and sounded like near the tree line to me, this went on for nearly an hour. I got up to look, but didn't see anything as it was too far from the house to see anything. The dog seems to bark for awhile, and then several minutes may pass before he starts barking again. It seems to me that something goes away for awhile but then returns and the dog begins barking anew. As I've said, I live on a hill, and when we get lots of snow, I'm housebound. My friend walked up the hill last week, and she made the comment that she saw lots of deer tracks in the snow along with dog tracks, but there was a place on the hill that she called a "drag mark" she thought perhaps the dogs had killed a deer. I asked if she saw a body, but she said no. She thought the dogs had harassed a deer in that area. I knew that night the "commotion" had been very close to the house.

One thing that slipped my mind when I was filing the Bigfoot report...some time after I had heard the walking on my roof, two of my adult children came to help me put a new antenna on top of my roof. When they came down, they told me that there was a large pile of scat near the chimney. I asked the size, color, shape, etc. (Having in mind what had walked on my roof.) My daughter said it was as large as a dinner plate, and she took her hand/arm and made a spiraling motion like a cinnamon roll shape, by that I took it to mean it was tubular and spiraling. She said it looked old and whitish.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
On 1/20/2011 I received this message from the witness.

I debated whether to send this incident, but decided I would. I didn't want to cause any embarrassment to my Brother (#1) but since it does seem to be indicative of Bigfoot behavior, I've decided to send it in.

Brother #1 still keeps some livestock at his original home site, the farthest place up the hollow. (He and family bought and moved into our Mother's old place below me, less than two years ago.) He goes up there each evening to feed and water his animals. In the Fall of 2010, sometime in October, he went just before it got dark outside. When he got there he said that "nature" called very urgently. The water has been turned off inside the house there, so he had little choice than to use "nature's bathroom". He hurriedly walked several feet from the back of the house, and proceeded to attend to nature's call. One of his free roaming chickens had followed him and proceeded to go to the far end of the field (which is near the end of the hollow, from whence we had heard those strange animal sounds years ago). At the end of that field sits an old abandoned house trailer that Brother #1 uses for storage. The chicken went behind the house trailer, it had no more than got out of Brother #1's sight than several things happened simultaneously. Something pounded the ground with 3-4 hard knocks, it sounded like a large piece of wood hitting the ground, the chicken came squawking, flapping its wings and running toward Brother #1, and Brother #1 said he must have jumped three feet in the air, creating quite a mess on himself, as you can imagine, trying to jerk up his pants while on the run! Brother #1 had quite a scare! In recalling the incident, Brother #1 said he wondered if something had been hiding behind the trailer, observing him, and was either trying to scare the chicken away or kill the chicken by hitting it with a large piece of wood and missed the mark all those times! One lucky chicken! Now, Brother #1 always makes sure to feed and water the animals prior to nighttime falling!

Other Incidents:

Brother #1's son was telling his friend about the time that his Dad had seen the Bigfoot creature in the yard (2009) and his friend told him his own family's story. They are a large family. They were sitting on their porch, about the edge of dark, just laughing and talking the way families do, when something all white, and running on two legs came charging down the hillside, screaming and breaking trees and branches as it came. They all ran inside, being both shocked and scared! This happened in a small rural community in Wayne County, WV. and I am unsure of the date.

This happened in the 1950's in a part of rural Wayne County, WV. My sister-in-law's Mother was hanging her wash on the line to dry, when she witnessed a large, black and hair covered creature on two legs, move from the hillside and cross the road above their farmhouse. That farm is now part of a state park called East Lynn Lake.

It is amazing to me how many stories of these creatures may be out there, and when there is an environment without ridicule or laughter, people are willing to relay them!

Well, if I become aware of anything else that may be Bigfoot related I will relay it to you.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
On 1/21/2011 I received this message from the witness.

my nephew (he was raised in this hollow and still hunts here) and I were talking about something that happened when he was a little boy, that he now thinks may have been Bigfoot related. I vaguely remembered the incident and his conversation jogged that memory. When he was a very small boy, he and and his two brothers were hurriedly awakened and dressed by his parents to go to their Grandparent's house at the other end of the hollow. There had been an intruder. Their parents at the time did not have a telephone and wished to call the police in regard to the intruder. Now, I will relay the story as was told by my nephew's mother. They lived in a small house trailer at the far end of the hollow. It was night and all were sleeping when his mother was awakened and looked down the narrow hallway and observed a "large man" whose bulk seemed to take up the whole space in the hallway. He was quietly swaying from side to side as he stood there. He had apparently entered the unlocked back door. His mother began screaming at her husband (my Brother #3) to wake up because there was a man in the hallway. But the "large man" had very quickly made his escape the way that he had came and my Brother had not seen him. They were very shaken up and I remembered that they did call the police and reported the incident and I seem to recall that an officer did come to check it out but nothing was found out of the ordinary. The thing that now makes this incident appear to be Bigfoot related are these things. They lived at the end of the hollow and you could not have driven a vehicle near the house without being seen by themselves or other neighbors who were all family members. There was very little traffic by these family members into this hollow and traveling out of the hollow at nighttime was even more seldom. Any vehicles that would have ventured onto this private property would have been observed to say the least. The remoteness of their home which was surrounded by dark woods and hills would have prevented anyone from simply walking and entering the house trailer. And for what purpose would they have came to a small house trailer in the first place? They owned nothing of value. Then the size of the large man and the fact that he was swaying back and forth as he stood in the hallway! I seemed to recall that this incident happened in the fall or winter during the early 1980's.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
On 1/23/2011 I received this message from the witness.

I'm getting old and things come back to me a little at a time! But I recalled when my Brother (#2) was courting his now wife, they were just teens, about 1971-72, he saw something that scared him profoundly. My folks had already bought the farm here in the hollow and they were the only ones living here then. (This is only about a 10 minute drive to where this happened to my Brother.) My brother was driving his first (used) car and very happy to have a car and not having to walk to see his girl. He had over-stayed his welcome, not wanting to leave his girlfriend and it was late around mid-night when he left there. There is a state park near there. Brother rounded the corner of the isolated road and he said something very large, dark and hairy, jumped across the road just ahead of his car. My Brother said that it leaped from one side of the hillside to the other in only one leap which was astounding to him. The thing turned its head toward the approaching car, and what scared my Brother so much was the eyes of the creature. He said the eyes were bloody red. My Brother always called what he saw "a devil". My Brother stopped the car, made a turn in the road, and went back the other way, so that he wouldn't have to pass that spot!

Before Brother #2 got his car, he used to walk alone up to the hollow after seeing his girlfriend. It was an isolated stretch of road with only one house along the mile dirt road. The only light he had was from the moon. I believe it was summer, 1971. Something started walking behind him. When he stopped it stopped, when he walked, it walked. Brother wanted to see what it was. He was a smoker and had a box of matches with him. He started lighting the matches and holding it up to see what he could see. He said he could see very little except teeth, barred teeth and growling. Brother continued lighting the matches as he hurriedly made his way home, he felt at the time that the matches had saved him from attack.

In 2009, Brother #2 had foot surgery and was a bit laid up by it. His wife had just left for work after yelling her good-byes to him. He was in the far bedroom. He was surprised to hear someone come through the back door, the entrance they normally use. He yelled out, "Did you forget something?" He said something made a large commotion getting out of there. Well, that scared Brother and he hobbled up to look and lock the backdoor. He didn't see anything other than the door was left wide open! He didn't know what that was about. But in recalling Brother #3's intruder in the 1980's, I am made to wonder? This happened around 7:30 a.m.

After my Aunt and her family bought the neighboring farm in our hollow, her son had a very similar experience of being followed up that isolated stretch of road. I don't know the details about that, just heard it through the family. Some years later, this son was given acreage by his parents and he put a double-wide mobile home on it. One night he says he saw a big, black bear standing at his sliding glass doors. Now I wonder if it was a bear?

In 2009, Brother #1 saw a creature squatting by the side of the road, apparently eating road kill. Brother had to travel to XXXX every work day to pick up his son who worked the evening shift. It was around mid-night on the return trip, that he saw the creature. He said that he was unsure what he saw. It appeared to be gray and hairy, and very broad shouldered. He did not see any facial features, as its back was toward him. He said if it was a wolf, it was very, very large. He only got a quick passing glance.

Well, I think the well is finally dry on past incidents that may be Bigfoot related! But no doubt there will be other things happening in this hollow, unless they move out! Which I doubt, it seems they have been here, before us, for a long time and plan on staying! Especially seeing how this area went from no one living here, to several families occupying this hollow and they've stayed put!

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
On 1/29/2011 I received this message from the witness.

I thought the well was dry, but I did think of a few other things that happened, one happened here, and two just last about 15 minutes from here.

The first happened, about 1990, Wayne Co, WV, between Brother #1 and #2's homes at the head of the hollow. It was night time, I am unsure of the time of night, Brother #2's daughter was riding a 4-wheeler and on the back was her cousin Brother #1's daughter, and their Aunt, wife of Brother #3. Back then, there were no outside lights on the properties other than their porch lights. And the only source of light was what little was emitted from the head lights of the 4-wheeler. They had all been at Brother #2's house and decided to go over to Brother #1's house to visit for awhile. They were talking, laughing and making a good deal of noise as teenage girls can do. The two on the back of the 4-wheeler were trying to hang onto the small space not meant for two riders, as my niece (Brother #2's daughter) was driving the 4-wheeler. They started in the direction of Brother #1's house when they were scared out of their minds to the point of screaming and tears. They hate to talk about the incident even today, and as such, I know only some sketchy details. They said that something just seemed to "float" up from some tall weeds near them, and the thing that really scared them was the height and the eyes. It was very, very tall and the eyes were green, about the size of golf balls, and spaced some 4-6 inches apart, they said they seemed to glow! My niece "gunned" the 4-wheeler trying to get the "heck out of Dodge", but the motor stalled! The girls were screaming as well as the Aunt to go, go, go! I think one of them resorted to jumping off and "hoofed" it on over to Brother #1's house. My niece finally got the 4-wheeler started and they burst into Brother #1's front door screaming and crying that they had seen a devil! They couldn't describe much of what they had seen, other than it was tall, very tall, and had those big; green; glowing eyes. They said it just seemed to float up out of the weeds, and then it disappeared, just that quickly. Of course after the motor stalled, pandemonium set in, their main objective shifted to getting away from there, and it was so dark that they didn't really see where and what happened to the green-eyed being!

Second happening. Wayne Co., WV, Fall of 2009, my nephew (the one that hunts in the hollow) called me around 10:30 p.m., hoping I could hear the noises that he and his brother were hearing. I could not hear it over the phone. So he described what happened. First let me say that my nephew lives in a wooded area, with a creek nearby. To the back of his house there are two barns, and also across the creek in the woods is a single wide trail and barn, both these neighbors have horses. My nephew has two houses on his property, he and his family live in one, and his mother lives in the other one. My nephew and his brother were outside working on his car and they were having problems getting something off the motor, so his younger brother begins hitting it with a wrench. Suddenly from across the creek on the hillside, something seemed to pound on a tree. His brother picked up a big piece of wood and pounded on a tree in the yard. Again there was an answering tree knock. This "freaked" my nephews out! Until that night, my nephew, had not considered the possibility that he may have Bigfoot in his neck of the woods. He is convinced they are here in this hollow, but he was shocked to believe they were so close to him. But then later another thing happened and he called to tell me about, that reinforced that belief. His mother (she lives in his other house) came down to their house early one morning to say that she was sitting on the sofa watching TV the night before, when something started beating on the outside of her house, it wasn't just once but several times. She was so afraid that she covered her head with the quilt and stayed on the sofa until the morning light and then made her way down to her son's house to tell him what had happened! This is the same woman that had seen the "big man, swaying back and forth in the hallway" of the trailer they lived in during the 1980's, she is also one of the women on the 4-wheeler, seeing the creature with green; glowing eyes around 1990.

My nephew also wonders about something that happened years ago, I'll have to ask him the time frame. He was checking back on the hill from my house where he had his tree stand prior to deer hunting season. When he got to the place it should be, it was not in the tree. He started looking around for it, and found it pitched many feet down the hillside! At the time, he didn't know what had happened, he thought perhaps some kids had done it. But now, with the knowledge of other things that have happened over the years, he wonders!

On 1/31/2011 I received this message from the witness.

Summer 2008, late afternoon, I wasn't home and when I returned my daughter-in-law phoned. She and my son live at the bottom of my hill, and she wanted me to call my Brother (#1) to tell him that his horse was out and that she had seen his miniature horse running up my drive-way towards the hill. At the top of the first part of this hill, it forks right to a small steep trail my relatives use when taking their 4-wheelers up into the woods above my house to hunt. I called my brother and relayed the message. Shortly after, my brother called to tell me he didn't know what my daughter-in-law had seen, as both his miniature horses were still in their lot, and there was no way that they could have gotten out. I called my daughter-in-law and told her this information, which baffled her and she kept insisting it had to have been one of his horses. By this time, due to some previous experiences, I was suspecting Bigfoot activity in our area, and I asked her for an explanation of what she saw. She said she had stepped out on her side porch to smoke, and didn't see much, just observed a brown haired animal running up the hill, (on all fours) and it quickly was out of sight, it was moving fast. She assumed it was Brother #1's miniature horse. I called my Brother back and we discussed the situation, there were no dogs of that color or size in the neighborhood and what we concluded was that it was possibly a juvenile Bigfoot! My daughter-in-law scoffs at the idea of a Bigfoot creature, she is not a believer! When I suggested to her that she may have possibly seen a young Bigfoot, she would have none of that and insisted it was the horse even though the horse had never been out!

Back in the 1980's my ex-husband was driving the car, I and the children were passengers. This was a man given to quick temper tantrums. He could become angry and unreasonable rather quickly. Which he became as we rode along up the dark, dirt road. In a fit of temper, he stopped the car, turned off the lights and motor, grabbed the keys and started hoofing it up the darkened road. I was used to such displays, so I waited patiently in the car with the children. Not more than a minute or two passed, when I began hearing the sounds of footfalls as he came bounding back to the car. As he entered the car, he had quickly changed his attitude from anger to fear! He quickly started the car and gunned it on up the road. He said when he got out of the car and walked out of our sight, something jumped out in front of him and he could feel its hot breath! Needless to say, I began to laugh, and told him that it served him right for losing his temper so badly! I told him it was probably just a deer that jumped across the road. At that time I could think of no other reasonable explanation. Coupled with the fact that many times we would see herds of deer in the pasture areas along this road. This man was 5'10" tall, but now I wonder how he could have felt something's breath on him, unless it was a lot taller than himself! Maybe Bigfoot was wondering why the car lights had gone off and wanted to see what was happening in the road!

These things may or may not be relevant, but recalled them today and have a different perspective on some things now!
