maryville missouri

11
00:00:38,389 --> 00:00:36,880
i was standing outside of my home

12
00:00:40,229 --> 00:00:38,399
smoking a cigarette in maryville

13
00:00:41,510 --> 00:00:40,239
missouri at approximately 3 a.m in

14
00:00:43,190 --> 00:00:41,520
august 2010

15
00:00:45,270 --> 00:00:43,200
the street lights cast a yellow glow

16
00:00:46,549 --> 00:00:45,280
over my neighborhood the air was crisp

17
00:00:48,470 --> 00:00:46,559
from the recent rain

18
00:00:49,910 --> 00:00:48,480
as i stood near the back door i noticed

19
00:00:51,590 --> 00:00:49,920
something moved in the yard

20
00:00:53,670 --> 00:00:51,600
out of my periphery i thought it was a

21
00:00:55,189 --> 00:00:53,680
dog a really big dog

22
00:00:57,830 --> 00:00:55,199
but when i looked at it straight on i

23
00:00:58,630 --> 00:00:57,840
was scared the dog was about as long as

24
00:01:00,630 --> 00:00:58,640
a horse

25
00:01:02,869 --> 00:01:00,640
it loped across the lawn and i got a

26
00:01:05,429 --> 00:01:02,879
good look at it the dog thing was tan

27
00:01:07,030 --> 00:01:05,439
its tail long and bushy with a white tip

28
00:01:08,789 --> 00:01:07,040
its eyes glowed green

29
00:01:10,710 --> 00:01:08,799
it stopped next to a neighbor's fence

30
00:01:11,190 --> 00:01:10,720
staring at me the entire time with those

31
00:01:13,510 --> 00:01:11,200
green

32
00:01:15,590 --> 00:01:13,520
glowing eyes it stared at me until i

33
00:01:17,510 --> 00:01:15,600
finished my cigarette and went inside

34
00:01:19,030 --> 00:01:17,520
about three to five minutes just long

35
00:01:21,429 --> 00:01:19,040
enough to smoke a cigarette

36
00:01:23,910 --> 00:01:21,439
i was little freaked out the dog slunk

37
00:01:25,670 --> 00:01:23,920
off between two houses and i went inside

38
00:01:28,149 --> 00:01:25,680
i took my father outside to look for

39
00:01:29,910 --> 00:01:28,159
tracks the next day but we found nothing

40
00:01:31,990 --> 00:01:29,920
however when i stood where the dog

41
00:01:33,429 --> 00:01:32,000
stopped a defense my heart jumped

42
00:01:35,109 --> 00:01:33,439
the dog would have stood at the middle

43
00:01:37,429 --> 00:01:35,119
of my chest i'm six

44
00:01:38,310 --> 00:01:37,439
foot two that wasn't the last time i saw

45
00:01:40,710 --> 00:01:38,320
the dog

46
00:01:42,230 --> 00:01:40,720
dad calls it wolf boy we joke around

47
00:01:44,469 --> 00:01:42,240
about it being a werewolf

48
00:01:46,230 --> 00:01:44,479
a few weeks later i parked my car on the

49
00:01:47,429 --> 00:01:46,240
street behind the house after work at

50
00:01:49,670 --> 00:01:47,439
around 3am

51
00:01:51,270 --> 00:01:49,680
i sat inside the car smoking cigarettes

52
00:01:52,230 --> 00:01:51,280
when i saw eyes staring at me through

53
00:01:54,310 --> 00:01:52,240
the darkness

54
00:01:55,670 --> 00:01:54,320
the street light back there flickers i

55
00:01:56,469 --> 00:01:55,680
was sitting in the car smoking a

56
00:01:58,709 --> 00:01:56,479
cigarette

57
00:02:00,469 --> 00:01:58,719
i saw those green eyes when the street

58
00:02:01,990 --> 00:02:00,479
light flicked on he saw the wolf boy i

59
00:02:02,310 --> 00:02:02,000
thought my eyes were playing tricks on

60
00:02:04,469 --> 00:02:02,320
me

61
00:02:06,230 --> 00:02:04,479
because of the green glow but it was the

62
00:02:08,550 --> 00:02:06,240
dog it was lying down

63
00:02:10,469 --> 00:02:08,560
just staring at me each time the street

64
00:02:11,110 --> 00:02:10,479
light flickered the wolf boy inched

65
00:02:13,110 --> 00:02:11,120
closer

66
00:02:14,869 --> 00:02:13,120
it was freaky as close as the dog was

67
00:02:24,550 --> 00:02:14,879
when the light flickered back on

68
00:02:28,390 --> 00:02:26,949
stalking werewolf in 1980 sarasota

69
00:02:30,550 --> 00:02:28,400
florida suburbs

70
00:02:32,309 --> 00:02:30,560
long the other story i want to tell you

71
00:02:33,589 --> 00:02:32,319
was a series of incidents with my

72
00:02:35,830 --> 00:02:33,599
siblings and i

73
00:02:36,790 --> 00:02:35,840
as i said before we had a house in south

74
00:02:39,589 --> 00:02:36,800
west florida

75
00:02:41,190 --> 00:02:39,599
back in the 1980s for over a week our

76
00:02:41,750 --> 00:02:41,200
neighborhood had a series of what i

77
00:02:44,150 --> 00:02:41,760
believe

78
00:02:45,990 --> 00:02:44,160
were a stalking werewolf it was june i

79
00:02:48,630 --> 00:02:46,000
think and around 9pm

80
00:02:49,990 --> 00:02:48,640
i was out back on the patio at that time

81
00:02:51,830 --> 00:02:50,000
no one had fences around

82
00:02:54,150 --> 00:02:51,840
their property because all of us knew

83
00:02:56,070 --> 00:02:54,160
the others families around the area

84
00:02:58,229 --> 00:02:56,080
the only exception was the family across

85
00:03:00,710 --> 00:02:58,239
the street from us they had a seven foot

86
00:03:02,229 --> 00:03:00,720
tall cinderblock wall behind their house

87
00:03:04,390 --> 00:03:02,239
they had a large wooded piece of

88
00:03:06,229 --> 00:03:04,400
property and kept equipment out there

89
00:03:08,470 --> 00:03:06,239
the dad was in construction and the wall

90
00:03:10,470 --> 00:03:08,480
enclosed three sides of the property

91
00:03:11,990 --> 00:03:10,480
it was hot out in a slight breeze no

92
00:03:13,750 --> 00:03:12,000
clouds and starry

93
00:03:15,270 --> 00:03:13,760
as i sat there you could hear the dogs

94
00:03:17,830 --> 00:03:15,280
in the neighborhood begin to bark

95
00:03:18,309 --> 00:03:17,840
then everything got quiet alone owl

96
00:03:21,350 --> 00:03:18,319
started

97
00:03:22,949 --> 00:03:21,360
so i howl back i do this rather well i'd

98
00:03:25,270 --> 00:03:22,959
watch national geographic

99
00:03:26,949 --> 00:03:25,280
and would mimic wolf cries anyway this

100
00:03:28,710 --> 00:03:26,959
went on for about five minutes

101
00:03:29,990 --> 00:03:28,720
each time the howl from the other end

102
00:03:32,390 --> 00:03:30,000
got closer

103
00:03:33,589 --> 00:03:32,400
down the road our train tracks that run

104
00:03:35,110 --> 00:03:33,599
north to south

105
00:03:37,350 --> 00:03:35,120
the sound seemed to come from that

106
00:03:38,710 --> 00:03:37,360
direction i started to get spooked as

107
00:03:40,470 --> 00:03:38,720
the howling stopped

108
00:03:42,710 --> 00:03:40,480
our yard had bushes and a tree on the

109
00:03:44,630 --> 00:03:42,720
side where the sound came from

110
00:03:47,509 --> 00:03:44,640
the hair on my arms and neck started to

111
00:03:49,030 --> 00:03:47,519
stand up so i felt like i should go in

112
00:03:51,350 --> 00:03:49,040
as i stood i heard movement by the

113
00:03:52,070 --> 00:03:51,360
bushes i glanced over and saw something

114
00:03:53,670 --> 00:03:52,080
move

115
00:03:55,750 --> 00:03:53,680
i didn't wait to see what it was so i

116
00:03:57,910 --> 00:03:55,760
booked it into the house and i stood by

117
00:04:00,070 --> 00:03:57,920
the door which had glass panes in it

118
00:04:01,830 --> 00:04:00,080
i watched as something very large and

119
00:04:04,229 --> 00:04:01,840
arc moved about the bushes

120
00:04:05,990 --> 00:04:04,239
it moved away and i could no longer see

121
00:04:07,670 --> 00:04:06,000
it from my vantage point

122
00:04:09,110 --> 00:04:07,680
i went to the front porch to look out

123
00:04:10,149 --> 00:04:09,120
the windows hoping to get a look at

124
00:04:12,789 --> 00:04:10,159
whatever was there

125
00:04:13,350 --> 00:04:12,799
but it never came out that way so i went

126
00:04:15,750 --> 00:04:13,360
to bed

127
00:04:17,509 --> 00:04:15,760
and to read for a while to calm down

128
00:04:18,229 --> 00:04:17,519
about less than an hour later my brother

129
00:04:20,949 --> 00:04:18,239
came home

130
00:04:22,390 --> 00:04:20,959
he came to my room and as wide as paper

131
00:04:25,430 --> 00:04:22,400
he was shaking all over

132
00:04:27,749 --> 00:04:25,440
his eyes the size of saucers i asked him

133
00:04:29,590 --> 00:04:27,759
if he was okay now my brother is the

134
00:04:30,710 --> 00:04:29,600
sort that has an explanation for

135
00:04:32,790 --> 00:04:30,720
anything unusual

136
00:04:34,550 --> 00:04:32,800
and he's a big guy so for him to be in

137
00:04:36,310 --> 00:04:34,560
this state was not normal

138
00:04:38,230 --> 00:04:36,320
he said i need you to come with me right

139
00:04:38,950 --> 00:04:38,240
now i'll explain when we get in the

140
00:04:41,510 --> 00:04:38,960
truck

141
00:04:42,310 --> 00:04:41,520
i was still dressed so i got up and went

142
00:04:44,469 --> 00:04:42,320
with him

143
00:04:46,629 --> 00:04:44,479
when we got outside i asked what's going

144
00:04:48,629 --> 00:04:46,639
on he told me there was something in the

145
00:04:49,430 --> 00:04:48,639
road by the tracks he needed to show me

146
00:04:51,510 --> 00:04:49,440
first

147
00:04:53,350 --> 00:04:51,520
i was not happy about that as i just had

148
00:04:54,310 --> 00:04:53,360
my own experience with something from

149
00:04:55,670 --> 00:04:54,320
that way

150
00:04:57,990 --> 00:04:55,680
as we got there it looked as if

151
00:04:59,590 --> 00:04:58,000
something had exploded all over the road

152
00:05:01,430 --> 00:04:59,600
there was blood everywhere as if

153
00:05:04,150 --> 00:05:01,440
something was mowed down in that spot

154
00:05:05,270 --> 00:05:04,160
but there was no body parts anywhere my

155
00:05:07,590 --> 00:05:05,280
brother related then

156
00:05:08,550 --> 00:05:07,600
what he had seen coming down the road i

157
00:05:10,710 --> 00:05:08,560
was coming home

158
00:05:12,870 --> 00:05:10,720
and as i got closer to the tracks there

159
00:05:14,870 --> 00:05:12,880
was this huge thing lying in the road

160
00:05:16,790 --> 00:05:14,880
i thought it must have been a mastiff or

161
00:05:18,870 --> 00:05:16,800
great dane in the road but as i pulled

162
00:05:19,830 --> 00:05:18,880
up to it it didn't look like a dog i'd

163
00:05:22,070 --> 00:05:19,840
ever seen

164
00:05:23,270 --> 00:05:22,080
it was hairy its head and nose was twice

165
00:05:25,909 --> 00:05:23,280
the size of a dog

166
00:05:26,390 --> 00:05:25,919
the body wasn't a dog just og-like but

167
00:05:30,629 --> 00:05:26,400
much

168
00:05:33,590 --> 00:05:30,639
there was an arm on the road

169
00:05:34,870 --> 00:05:33,600
not og a human arm there was no trace of

170
00:05:36,710 --> 00:05:34,880
anything when we got there

171
00:05:37,990 --> 00:05:36,720
and it was only minutes that it took us

172
00:05:39,670 --> 00:05:38,000
to get there i

173
00:05:41,189 --> 00:05:39,680
said to get the hell out of there now

174
00:05:43,189 --> 00:05:41,199
and we went back home

175
00:05:44,790 --> 00:05:43,199
i told him what i experienced just

176
00:05:46,870 --> 00:05:44,800
before he got home

177
00:05:49,029 --> 00:05:46,880
a couple of days later my sister came to

178
00:05:51,029 --> 00:05:49,039
me and said she has been seeing a large

179
00:05:53,029 --> 00:05:51,039
dog prowling around at night

180
00:05:55,510 --> 00:05:53,039
it was huge and she had seen it across

181
00:05:58,070 --> 00:05:55,520
the street as she sat on the porch

182
00:05:59,990 --> 00:05:58,080
i told her what my brother and i saw and

183
00:06:01,510 --> 00:06:00,000
not to be outside alone until we could

184
00:06:03,830 --> 00:06:01,520
find out what it was

185
00:06:05,270 --> 00:06:03,840
we got together and decided to stake out

186
00:06:06,550 --> 00:06:05,280
the yard over the next night

187
00:06:08,710 --> 00:06:06,560
sure enough it was back in the

188
00:06:10,150 --> 00:06:08,720
neighbor's yard this thing was about the

189
00:06:12,870 --> 00:06:10,160
size of a shetland pony

190
00:06:14,469 --> 00:06:12,880
black in color we had flashlights and

191
00:06:15,990 --> 00:06:14,479
turned them on a took off to the back

192
00:06:18,309 --> 00:06:16,000
wall behind the house

193
00:06:20,790 --> 00:06:18,319
their dog was going off like crazy they

194
00:06:22,230 --> 00:06:20,800
had a small terrier we watched this dog

195
00:06:23,749 --> 00:06:22,240
thing scale the wall

196
00:06:25,670 --> 00:06:23,759
the neighbor came out to see what was

197
00:06:26,950 --> 00:06:25,680
going on and we shouted there was

198
00:06:29,350 --> 00:06:26,960
something in his yard

199
00:06:30,550 --> 00:06:29,360
he went back in and grabbed his pistol

200
00:06:39,270 --> 00:06:30,560
and went around back

201
00:06:42,390 --> 00:06:40,950
canine deer like humanoid encountered

202
00:06:44,070 --> 00:06:42,400
near gallipolis ohio

203
00:06:45,590 --> 00:06:44,080
this story is from a few years ago but

204
00:06:47,270 --> 00:06:45,600
my mother and i remember every single

205
00:06:48,390 --> 00:06:47,280
detail of what happened but i would like

206
00:06:50,629 --> 00:06:48,400
some advice

207
00:06:52,150 --> 00:06:50,639
i'm just not sure what we saw so when i

208
00:06:53,270 --> 00:06:52,160
was about at middle school my mom and i

209
00:06:54,870 --> 00:06:53,280
were driving home

210
00:06:56,950 --> 00:06:54,880
it was winter and a full moon because i

211
00:06:59,430 --> 00:06:56,960
remember the snow glowing under the moon

212
00:07:01,510 --> 00:06:59,440
it was only 6 pm but really dark so

213
00:07:01,990 --> 00:07:01,520
we're going about 55 miles per hour when

214
00:07:03,990 --> 00:07:02,000
this thing

215
00:07:05,510 --> 00:07:04,000
crosses and stops in front of us the

216
00:07:07,350 --> 00:07:05,520
only way i can describe it is that it

217
00:07:07,909 --> 00:07:07,360
was if you combined a deer a dog and a

218
00:07:09,909 --> 00:07:07,919
human

219
00:07:11,430 --> 00:07:09,919
it stood about as tall as our windshield

220
00:07:13,110 --> 00:07:11,440
it had the legs of what i can describe

221
00:07:14,309 --> 00:07:13,120
as a deer its back was hunched over and

222
00:07:16,550 --> 00:07:14,319
walking on all fours

223
00:07:18,230 --> 00:07:16,560
it had the head of a dog minus ears but

224
00:07:18,870 --> 00:07:18,240
its eyes were white and it didn't have a

225
00:07:20,309 --> 00:07:18,880
tail

226
00:07:22,390 --> 00:07:20,319
the freakish thing about this creature

227
00:07:23,430 --> 00:07:22,400
was its skin it wasn't a canine with

228
00:07:25,029 --> 00:07:23,440
mange or anything

229
00:07:27,430 --> 00:07:25,039
it had actual human skin all the way

230
00:07:29,029 --> 00:07:27,440
down its legs too long to be dog legs

231
00:07:30,950 --> 00:07:29,039
it had a rotting meat odor and some

232
00:07:32,150 --> 00:07:30,960
parts the flesh was broken open like if

233
00:07:33,749 --> 00:07:32,160
you would scrape your knee

234
00:07:35,830 --> 00:07:33,759
it was pale white and you could see its

235
00:07:37,350 --> 00:07:35,840
veins this thing was fast

236
00:07:38,870 --> 00:07:37,360
it stood there and just ran across the

237
00:07:40,790 --> 00:07:38,880
road in a blink of an eye

238
00:07:41,909 --> 00:07:40,800
my mom had to pull over to calm down but

239
00:07:43,830 --> 00:07:41,919
we both saw it

240
00:07:45,749 --> 00:07:43,840
this sighting was in southeastern ohio

241
00:07:54,710 --> 00:07:45,759
near gallipolis what did we see

242
00:07:58,950 --> 00:07:56,710
tall dog-headed man stalks witness in

243
00:08:00,629 --> 00:07:58,960
cottage birmingham uk

244
00:08:03,189 --> 00:08:00,639
this incident occurred on a winter

245
00:08:05,350 --> 00:08:03,199
evening in 2009 in the cottage area of

246
00:08:06,550 --> 00:08:05,360
birmingham uk i was on my evening walk

247
00:08:08,230 --> 00:08:06,560
near my home

248
00:08:10,150 --> 00:08:08,240
after walking about a quarter of the

249
00:08:11,909 --> 00:08:10,160
length i glanced to my left and saw a

250
00:08:13,749 --> 00:08:11,919
very tall man walking parallel with me

251
00:08:15,589 --> 00:08:13,759
across the other side of the field

252
00:08:17,589 --> 00:08:15,599
i estimate that the guy was about seven

253
00:08:18,790 --> 00:08:17,599
to eight foot tall which made me look a

254
00:08:20,950 --> 00:08:18,800
little more carefully

255
00:08:22,710 --> 00:08:20,960
whilst still walking i noticed to my

256
00:08:24,469 --> 00:08:22,720
surprise the guy had what appeared to be

257
00:08:26,469 --> 00:08:24,479
the head of an alsatian dog

258
00:08:28,150 --> 00:08:26,479
at first i thought maybe it was a mask

259
00:08:29,670 --> 00:08:28,160
of some sword but as i looked i could

260
00:08:31,830 --> 00:08:29,680
see the creature's breath coming from

261
00:08:33,350 --> 00:08:31,840
its snout it was very cold and there

262
00:08:33,829 --> 00:08:33,360
seemed to be a fluid movement as it

263
00:08:35,509 --> 00:08:33,839
walked

264
00:08:37,430 --> 00:08:35,519
not the stiff neck you'd expect from a

265
00:08:39,190 --> 00:08:37,440
mask placed over man's head

266
00:08:41,430 --> 00:08:39,200
the creature was wearing a long dark

267
00:08:43,029 --> 00:08:41,440
coat and never looked in my direction

268
00:08:45,030 --> 00:08:43,039
i panicked a little at this point and

269
00:08:46,710 --> 00:08:45,040
decided to speed up my pace

270
00:08:48,389 --> 00:08:46,720
i glanced again to my left and was

271
00:08:49,350 --> 00:08:48,399
alarmed to see the dog-headed man that

272
00:08:51,829 --> 00:08:49,360
matched my pace

273
00:08:53,590 --> 00:08:51,839
but stayed on a parallel course i stayed

274
00:08:53,990 --> 00:08:53,600
calm and continued my brisk walk

275
00:08:55,750 --> 00:08:54,000
observing

276
00:08:57,910 --> 00:08:55,760
the dog-headed man from the corner of my

277
00:08:58,550 --> 00:08:57,920
eye if the thing changed his direction i

278
00:09:00,310 --> 00:08:58,560
would run

279
00:09:02,310 --> 00:09:00,320
but i still hoped it was all a bad dream

280
00:09:03,910 --> 00:09:02,320
or a hoax at the bottom

281
00:09:05,430 --> 00:09:03,920
instead of crossing the brook that runs

282
00:09:06,150 --> 00:09:05,440
along the base of the field leading to

283
00:09:08,470 --> 00:09:06,160
the canal

284
00:09:10,310 --> 00:09:08,480
i cut right up the small road just

285
00:09:11,509 --> 00:09:10,320
before i reached the road i broke into a

286
00:09:13,670 --> 00:09:11,519
sprint and looked fully at the

287
00:09:15,509 --> 00:09:13,680
dog-headed man to see what it would do

288
00:09:17,269 --> 00:09:15,519
it kept pace with me that didn't appear

289
00:09:18,470 --> 00:09:17,279
to be running again maintaining its

290
00:09:20,070 --> 00:09:18,480
parallel course

291
00:09:22,310 --> 00:09:20,080
it stepped over the brook like you would

292
00:09:23,910 --> 00:09:22,320
a small puddle at which time i had to

293
00:09:24,870 --> 00:09:23,920
turn my back making the sprint to the

294
00:09:26,870 --> 00:09:24,880
main road

295
00:09:28,470 --> 00:09:26,880
that was the worst part imagining this

296
00:09:35,110 --> 00:09:28,480
thing was right at my back

297
00:09:39,509 --> 00:09:37,269
dogman bigfoot sightings and activity

298
00:09:41,990 --> 00:09:39,519
reported in portage county ohio

299
00:09:43,670 --> 00:09:42,000
hello i live in northeast ohio in the

300
00:09:44,949 --> 00:09:43,680
area i'm going to tell you about is a

301
00:09:46,550 --> 00:09:44,959
country township

302
00:09:48,870 --> 00:09:46,560
there's one blinking traffic light in

303
00:09:49,990 --> 00:09:48,880
lots of woods farms and lakes

304
00:09:52,070 --> 00:09:50,000
every night i would take my

305
00:09:53,829 --> 00:09:52,080
granddaughter who was nine years old

306
00:09:55,910 --> 00:09:53,839
for a ride down all the back roads to

307
00:09:57,509 --> 00:09:55,920
see if we could spot some deer

308
00:09:59,509 --> 00:09:57,519
one night we were coming down a road

309
00:10:01,110 --> 00:09:59,519
with no houses as it was with most of

310
00:10:02,870 --> 00:10:01,120
the roads around this area

311
00:10:04,310 --> 00:10:02,880
we were coming up on a part of the road

312
00:10:06,150 --> 00:10:04,320
that had the back end of a christmas

313
00:10:08,389 --> 00:10:06,160
tree farm on the right with deep woods

314
00:10:10,069 --> 00:10:08,399
and a creek on the left we were driving

315
00:10:11,750 --> 00:10:10,079
slow so we would see a deer

316
00:10:13,350 --> 00:10:11,760
if there were any there since it was a

317
00:10:15,269 --> 00:10:13,360
common place to see them

318
00:10:17,110 --> 00:10:15,279
all of a sudden from out of the trees on

319
00:10:18,710 --> 00:10:17,120
the left a huge and i mean this thing

320
00:10:20,470 --> 00:10:18,720
was a good seven or eight foot long

321
00:10:22,949 --> 00:10:20,480
wolf-like creature came loping across

322
00:10:25,509 --> 00:10:22,959
the road not 20 feet in front of us

323
00:10:27,190 --> 00:10:25,519
i sail open because it ran so awkwardly

324
00:10:27,990 --> 00:10:27,200
like it didn't normally move on four

325
00:10:29,670 --> 00:10:28,000
legs

326
00:10:31,110 --> 00:10:29,680
like if you or i got on our hands and

327
00:10:32,630 --> 00:10:31,120
feet and tried to run

328
00:10:35,190 --> 00:10:32,640
there was something so odd about its

329
00:10:37,030 --> 00:10:35,200
back legs the best way i can describe it

330
00:10:37,910 --> 00:10:37,040
was almost like they had an extra boner

331
00:10:39,990 --> 00:10:37,920
joined to them

332
00:10:41,829 --> 00:10:40,000
i was stopped and staring in disbelief

333
00:10:44,710 --> 00:10:41,839
at this point and my granddaughter said

334
00:10:45,750 --> 00:10:44,720
grammy what is that like i said it was

335
00:10:48,069 --> 00:10:45,760
long black fur

336
00:10:50,069 --> 00:10:48,079
thin but long-legged its chest was huge

337
00:10:52,150 --> 00:10:50,079
like a pipple's only much bigger

338
00:10:54,310 --> 00:10:52,160
its tongue was hanging to the side i

339
00:10:55,110 --> 00:10:54,320
didn't notice any teeth nor did i recall

340
00:10:57,750 --> 00:10:55,120
a tail

341
00:10:58,230 --> 00:10:57,760
i was so intent on those back legs it

342
00:11:00,069 --> 00:10:58,240
looked

343
00:11:01,750 --> 00:11:00,079
but pretty fast across the road and

344
00:11:03,590 --> 00:11:01,760
disappeared into the woods

345
00:11:05,269 --> 00:11:03,600
i know it wasn't a coyote and there were

346
00:11:07,750 --> 00:11:05,279
no wolves in this area

347
00:11:09,350 --> 00:11:07,760
now i'm a country girl the woods and the

348
00:11:10,230 --> 00:11:09,360
beasts in them have never given me any

349
00:11:11,910 --> 00:11:10,240
concern

350
00:11:14,069 --> 00:11:11,920
but watching this thing move across the

351
00:11:15,750 --> 00:11:14,079
road gave me such a feeling of dread it

352
00:11:16,550 --> 00:11:15,760
actually left me with a kind of sick

353
00:11:18,470 --> 00:11:16,560
feeling

354
00:11:20,310 --> 00:11:18,480
i have to add that this area is a hot

355
00:11:22,550 --> 00:11:20,320
spot for bigfoot sightings

356
00:11:24,230 --> 00:11:22,560
they go back for decades the house we

357
00:11:25,829 --> 00:11:24,240
lived in was surrounded by woods

358
00:11:28,230 --> 00:11:25,839
and a railroad track ran through them

359
00:11:29,750 --> 00:11:28,240
behind it about a mile back there was an

360
00:11:31,910 --> 00:11:29,760
old indian burial mound that only a

361
00:11:33,670 --> 00:11:31,920
handful of the old-timers knew about

362
00:11:35,590 --> 00:11:33,680
past this was a bigfoot habitat or

363
00:11:36,870 --> 00:11:35,600
hunting area i say that

364
00:11:38,949 --> 00:11:36,880
because they had built an enormous

365
00:11:40,069 --> 00:11:38,959
corral out of 20 and 30 foot trees all

366
00:11:42,389 --> 00:11:40,079
locked within each other

367
00:11:44,470 --> 00:11:42,399
and in a semicircle it was marked with a

368
00:11:46,230 --> 00:11:44,480
huge x made of giant trees

369
00:11:48,230 --> 00:11:46,240
the back of this area butted up against

370
00:11:49,990 --> 00:11:48,240
the very back edge of one of the lakes

371
00:11:51,750 --> 00:11:50,000
there are at least three large lakes

372
00:11:53,670 --> 00:11:51,760
that all connect and i believe that was

373
00:11:56,150 --> 00:11:53,680
how they traveled between areas

374
00:11:58,069 --> 00:11:56,160
one winter after a big snow i had left

375
00:11:58,790 --> 00:11:58,079
work and went to my friends to stay the

376
00:12:01,430 --> 00:11:58,800
night

377
00:12:03,190 --> 00:12:01,440
at 6 a.m my daughter who was 16 years

378
00:12:05,110 --> 00:12:03,200
old called and told me i needed to come

379
00:12:06,790 --> 00:12:05,120
home right now to see something

380
00:12:09,350 --> 00:12:06,800
she wouldn't say why i had to get there

381
00:12:11,030 --> 00:12:09,360
fast when i got home she said our dogs

382
00:12:11,990 --> 00:12:11,040
who were in a fenced an area off of the

383
00:12:14,389 --> 00:12:12,000
back of the house

384
00:12:15,750 --> 00:12:14,399
had started going crazy that night she

385
00:12:16,230 --> 00:12:15,760
looked out her window on the second

386
00:12:17,590 --> 00:12:16,240
floor

387
00:12:19,430 --> 00:12:17,600
but didn't see anything in the way the

388
00:12:20,710 --> 00:12:19,440
pups were carrying on she was too scared

389
00:12:22,790 --> 00:12:20,720
to go outside

390
00:12:23,990 --> 00:12:22,800
then she showed me the footprints at the

391
00:12:25,829 --> 00:12:24,000
base of a huge catalpa

392
00:12:27,350 --> 00:12:25,839
tree was the first one then another

393
00:12:29,269 --> 00:12:27,360
about six feet from that

394
00:12:30,870 --> 00:12:29,279
they continued like that for a ways and

395
00:12:31,670 --> 00:12:30,880
then it turned and walked to the dog

396
00:12:33,190 --> 00:12:31,680
fence

397
00:12:34,790 --> 00:12:33,200
here the prince sort of shuffled back

398
00:12:35,509 --> 00:12:34,800
and forth and then they continued

399
00:12:37,030 --> 00:12:35,519
through the yard

400
00:12:39,110 --> 00:12:37,040
and across the road into the woods

401
00:12:41,430 --> 00:12:39,120
getting even further apart as it went

402
00:12:43,030 --> 00:12:41,440
these prints had toes they were not that

403
00:12:44,550 --> 00:12:43,040
long maybe eight inches

404
00:12:46,150 --> 00:12:44,560
and they were narrow at the heel and

405
00:12:48,629 --> 00:12:46,160
slightly wider at the top

406
00:12:49,829 --> 00:12:48,639
there were also very obvious claw prints

407
00:12:52,069 --> 00:12:49,839
bigfooter dogman

408
00:12:53,269 --> 00:12:52,079
i don't know but whatever it was walked

409
00:12:55,590 --> 00:12:53,279
on two legs

410
00:12:57,350 --> 00:12:55,600
one last thing i took my granddaughter

411
00:12:58,230 --> 00:12:57,360
and grandson for a drive around the lake

412
00:12:59,910 --> 00:12:58,240
one night

413
00:13:02,389 --> 00:12:59,920
we stopped because a deer went tearing

414
00:13:04,230 --> 00:13:02,399
across the road it wasn't rut season

415
00:13:05,829 --> 00:13:04,240
and i was wondering what scared it when

416
00:13:06,069 --> 00:13:05,839
all of a sudden my granddaughter grabbed

417
00:13:09,430 --> 00:13:06,079
my

418
00:13:11,110 --> 00:13:09,440
the spot

419
00:13:13,269 --> 00:13:11,120
where her eyes were focused and there

420
00:13:14,629 --> 00:13:13,279
were two bright red spots about 10 feet

421
00:13:15,910 --> 00:13:14,639
up in the thick brush

422
00:13:17,910 --> 00:13:15,920
i just looked at them wondering what

423
00:13:19,829 --> 00:13:17,920
they might be and then they blinked

424
00:13:22,069 --> 00:13:19,839
that was that we got the hell out of

00:13:22,949 --> 00:13:22,079
