A group of motorists driving through rural Kentucky at night were terrorised by an eight-foot tall “black hairy figure” with a cone-shaped head.
The witness – named only as Clayton – has revealed he was driving through country roads around 50 miles south of Louisville with two friends at around 10pm on August 23 when they stopped their vehicles and got out. The group heard a series of knocks and got a “response” when they whistled back before sighting a large hairy beast in the woods.
Reporting the sighting to the Bigfoot Field Researchers Organization (BFRO), Clayton explained: “Me and a couple of friends was riding a back road close to my house called River Road.
“We stopped and got out of our vehicles to look around at the lookout when we heard what sounded like a distant knock. We stood for about 20 seconds in dead silence.
“One of my friends said: ‘Whistle or howl. It could be a Bigfoot.’ So [I] Iet out a long whistle. We got a response back with what sounded like sticks or tree saplings being broken so we jumped back in the vehicles.”
He added: “We went further down the road so we could turn back around. On our way back we stopped again at the lookout to see if we could hear something.
“We wasn’t going to get out this time [sic]. I shined a spotlight into the woods and was just looking. I seen around 40 yards away from the truck a black hairy figure that was so dark I couldn’t see it until it moved [sic].
“It was around seven to eight feet tall. Its back was turned to me but it slightly turned to us as if it was checking to see if we was still there.
“The outline of the face was ape like with the cone kinda shaped head and a yellowish green eye shine. At that moment I told my friend to get out of there. He floors it.”
BFRO Investigator Charlie Raymond interviewed Clayton and described him as a “credible” witness, writing: “He illuminated a figure standing about 50-60 yards away inside the tree line with a bright hunting light.
“He estimated it at 7-8 feet tall, with an extremely bulky build, 3 to 3.5-foot-wide shoulders, a thick chest, very short thick neck, and jet-black, long, somewhat flowing hair, with wirey hair around the shoulders.
“The creature appeared hunkered down with its arms tucked close to its body, initially keeping its back toward them as though attempting to remain hidden.
“When the light struck it, it briefly turned its shoulders and upper body to look back toward the truck, revealing bright greenish-yellow eyeshine, a somewhat conical/elongated head, and a protruding, gorilla-like face that was longer than a human face but without a true muzzle.
“The facial area appeared dark brown compared with the black body hair. Clayton observed mostly the upper body and said the entire visual encounter lasted only about five seconds before fear prompted them to drive away.
“Approximately 10 minutes before the sighting, the group had also heard two apparent wood knocks, with the second occurring noticeably closer after Clayton responded to the first sound with a long whistle.”
He concluded: “I found the witness credible. His story remained consistent form his online submission, text messages, initial phone call and his video interview.
“The creature’s physical description and behavior (return tree knocks, trying to hide/avoid the light) are typical. Agreeing to a video interview, he has more to risk (ridicule from his buddies), than the reward (attention).”
