Unknown Hairy Hominid Encountered Near Louisville, Kentucky

I received a telephone call from an eyewitness named 'Joe' who had a harrowing encounter with a supposed Bigfoot near Louisville, Kentucky.

On August 17, 2018, Joe and his 12-year-old son, were fishing on the banks of the Ohio River in Oldham County, Kentucky. It was late afternoon, so Joe decided that they needed to start walking back to the car before dusk. They had parked several miles away in Jefferson County and had hiked through the woods to reach their favorite fishing spot on the river.

As they were packing up, Joe's son said that he heard something unusual; but Joe was in a hurry and wanted to get a move on. They were loaded with gear, which included a bucket full of catfish. That's when Joe heard the 'whoop' sound coming from above them on the low bluff. As they walked a bit further, Joe spotted a large figure on top of the bluff looking in their direction. He didn't think much of it, but noticed that it was following them.

Joe had his son lead in front of him out of caution. He always carried a sidearm when he was in the woods. Joe was raised in the Tennessee mountains and was a skilled outdoorsman, but he was always aware of his surroundings. He then heard a low growling coming from behind him. Then suddenly a fist-sized rock landed on the trail behind him. He told his son to move faster so that they could get back to the car as soon as possible.

After hiking for approximately 30 minutes, and avoiding 2 more hurled rocks, they finally reached their car. Joe told his son to get in the car as he loaded the trunk with the gear. As he finished and opened the driver's side door, he observed the creature standing about 40 foot away near the edge of the woods. He was stunned at what he was looking at! Was this a Bigfoot?

Joe and his son were both sitting in the front of the car and watching the huge bipedal creature standing to the left of them. Joe states that it stood at least 7 foot in height and was very muscular. 'This thing looked like it was wearing football shoulder pads' Joe explained. 'The cone-like head had no neck and was just sitting on its shoulders. I've never seen anything like it!' He said that the face was like a human man, but the features were 'flat.' It had auburn hair on the body, except for the face, feet, knees, elbows and chest; similar to the hair on a 'horse mane.' The skin had a 'purplish hue to it.' It was 'top-heavy and all muscle' with 'eyes that were black and large.'

Joe opened the side window to get a better look, despite the loud protests of his son. That's when he noticed the teeth, which the creature was now baring. He stated that he could see that the teeth, which 'looked like molars all the way around, and that there may have been double rowed.' Joe grabbed his sidearm and stepped out of the car. He instantly cocked the hammer, as the creature cowered and hid behind a large hickory tree. It was apparent that this beast was aware of guns. That's when Joe got a good whiff of the intense odor; what he described as week-old roadkill. The creature looked at Joe from around the tree, growled, then vanished. He had no idea where it had gone, and he wasn't going to stick around to find out.

Since that day, Joe has researched Bigfoot sightings in the area. Because of the features of this particular being, he was now beginning to question if this was actually a Bigfoot. None of the illustrations resembled what he had witnessed. He talked to other people who frequented the area where he fished, and it was obvious that this creature had made itself known to others. Joe was wary of making a report since he is well-known within his community, and he wanted to avoid ridicule.

Joe believes that the creature was curious, but was also defending it's territory. He has not returned to the area and doesn't plan to in the future.

NOTE: Honestly, I'm not sure about the validity of this report since it sounds somewhat similar to this account from last July - Menacing Bigfoot in Kentucky. Let me state that I'm presenting the report 'as is' and let you decide if it's real or concocted. Thanks...Lon

'Flying Witch' Observed Near Darien, Wisconsin

On February 25, 2019 I received a telephone call from an eyewitness 'NV' who stated she had observed a winged being that early morning at around 5:30 AM near Darien, Wisconsin.

NV was traveling west on Creek Rd. on her way to work. As she approached the Turtle Creek bridge she observed a large winged being that she described as a 'flying witch.' The being was at a tree-top altitude and was gliding in her direction. It was early dawn, but enough light available for NV to make out a form.

The winged being suddenly descended towards NV's car and barely missed colliding with the hood. NV described that the being's wing span was much wider than her car and that the body was a 'brownish color, like a 'paper bag.' The body looked feminine and slight. The wings were bat-shaped and very large. She never noticed the wings flapping. The speed in which it descended was 'not natural.' The face was unremarkable, almost 'blank.' NV noted that she swerved and almost hit the guard rail.

NV did not notice where the winged being flew to after the encounter. NV is of Hispanic descent and stated that the being looked similar to a 'witch' that was described to her as a child. NV was quite upset and worried that she may encounter this being in the future. Lon

Large Winged Biped Encountered in Woodstock, Illinois

I received a series of emails from the wife of the eyewitness 'TM'. I was able to talk to TM by telephone on 2/24/19:

Hello - My husband was returning home last night (Feb. 22nd - approx. 8 p.m.) from a trip to Walgreens. While driving home, he saw something 8 - 9 feet tall coming across the road from the DuField Pond entrance on Country Club Road in Woodstock, Illinois. He said it was approximately 1/3 the width of the road, 8 - 9’ tall, and part of it looked leathery - but he wouldn’t call it leather exactly.

He is interested in speaking to you about it, but this afternoon he didn’t seem ready to talk to you. I’ve asked him if he could sketch what he saw before he forgets. He indicated he’s NOT going to forget this.

Just wanted to give you a heads up, and wondered if you have received any other reports in the Woodstock, IL vicinity.

I subsequently received the following email after I made my inquiry:

Hi Lon - He said he will call you tomorrow if that’s okay. I was home when this happened, so didn’t see anything. All I know is I believe my husband. I did go out to DuField this morning because we’ve had snow/ice/slush to see if I could see any traces of whatever this was. There were a lot of tracks/prints near the entrance - mostly boot prints, but some did not look like boots. However. It was hard to tell. I took photos/videos of the area.

I then talked to TM, who stated that he was driving on Country Club Rd. near the entrance to the Dufield Pond Conservation Area in Woodstock, IL. Suddenly, a large biped ran out onto the road approximately 30 ft. ahead of him and quickly crossed to the opposite side. He said that he thought that it may have been a Bigfoot initially, but then noticed that it had a large set of membrane wings attached to the back, extending over the top of its head. He described the shape of the wings as that of a gargoyle. The body was 8-9 ft. in height and covered in dark fur. The arms and legs were well defined. He didn't notice any facial features. TM got an excellent look at the creature since his headlights illuminated it and the light from the conservation area backlit it as well.

He also stated that he had felt like it was a warning or harbinger of some kind. He did mention 'Nephilim' when discussing the encounter. It had upset him and that he was unable to talk about it until the next day. Lon

I later received a sketch and a statement from TM's wife:

TM’s sketch is attached. It is more of an outline. The yellow at the bottom represents his headlights. The yellow at top is the light at the DuField entrance. DuField conservation is a pond. Not sure if these things are attracted to water?

I contacted Tobias Wayland of the Singular Fortean Society and Phantoms & Monsters Fortean Research and asked him to contact TM and schedule an on-site investigation. Woodstock, IL is 61 miles northwest of Chicago. Any further information will be posted. Lon

Harbinger 'Black Shadow'

I am writing because I had an encounter. I live in Georgia and grew up living in a funeral home. That's a whole other story but I digress. We have about 6 acres and our house sits in the middle. It is wooded all the way around. We are right outside of the city limits but when you come on to our property you’d think you were way out in the country.

One day I was lying in bed and looking out my windows (The windows cover one wall in my room) and out of the corner of my eye I saw a huge black shadow going from one tree to another. I thought my eyes were playing tricks on me. This happened again a few times on different days. I told my husband, son and daughter-in-law about it and they just shrugged it off. One morning my son had gone somewhere and when he returned, he came into the house and told me I was right, he had seen it.

That morning when he got into the truck and started to back up he looked into his rearview mirror and it was black even though the sun was shining. He turned to look and it was gone. One day my son and I were outside and was burying my grandson's dog that had gotten hit by a car. We were out in the open field and all of a sudden a huge shadow came over us and we looked up expecting to see a big bird but nothing was there.

One morning my son and daughter-in-law who was pregnant, was headed to her doctor's appointment. They saw it again and it seemed to be following them. Then it was gone. She found out that day that she had miscarried. I told a friend from England about it and she said we needed to pray over our land, our animals, our family and the sky over our land. We walked our land and prayed over everything. I failed to tell you we have chickens and cats and they had been dying and were being killed by something.

Anyway after praying 2 or 3 different times over the land, it stopped. We have never seen it again and my daughter-in-law is having a baby that is due in March and she and baby are healthy. I needed to tell someone and I don’t know if this has happened to anyone else. SH
