Dailymail writes “A group of terrified teenagers have been rescued after an encounter with a ‘glowing-eyed and growling Bigfoot’ in a Louisiana forest.
Natchitoches Parish Sheriff’s Deputies said the recent high school graduates from Houma called in distress while deep within Kisatchie National Forest late last week.
The teenagers, aged 17 to 18, recounted a chilling encounter with what the group described as a creature resembling ‘Bigfoot’ with glowing eyes, according to the Natchitoches Parish Sheriff’s Office (NPSO). The group had reportedly ventured approximately 1.5 miles down Back Bone Trail in southern Natchitoches Parish to camp out after their graduation festivities.
One of the teens who was panicked by a growling sound and a mysterious figure standing about 5 feet tall with glowing eyes called emergency services for rescue.
At approximately 9:20pm, Deputies assigned to the NPSO Patrol Operations Bureau responded to NATCOM 911 Center reports of a group in Kisatchie National Forest needing assistance, according to the Natchitoches Parish Sheriff’s Office. Deputy B. Remo and Cpl. D. Halliburton cautiously approached the campsite, alert for any signs of danger. Following the sound of the group’s whistle, the deputies located them unharmed but visibly shaken.

Upon arriving at the campsite, deputies escorted the teens safely out of the forest.
Despite thorough investigation, authorities were unable to corroborate reports of a creature matching the description provided by the group.
The NPSO concluded their statement congratulating the graduates, thanking them for visiting Natchitoches Parish and Kisatchie National Forest, and wishing them success in their future endeavors.
