A listener writes “I had an experience back in June of 2021. I’m 52 years old and grew up in north MS Hunting and fishing and we hunted to eat not just for sport.
I have never been afraid of the dark, coon hunting was big deal growing up. Well my wife and I had separated in may of 2021 and I was staying at my in laws property in a old house they had. The house was built 80 years ago my father in law told me and built out of ruff cut lumber. The roof is tin, the outside walls have wood siding. It had a small front porch. I had a wrought iron table and chairs on it the table has a marble top. They are heavy. I would sit out on the porch in the mornings and evenings for fresh air and to have a cigarette.
The driveway is a one lane gravel that runs 3ft. Beside the house and it curves through a patch of woods 60yds. In front. There is a power right of way that parallels the drive on the right. I was sitting on the porch 1 evening as usual just reflecting it was 20 minutes before black dark. I noticed movement on the power line, it was 2 small 4legged animals so I focused on the driveway hoping to see if the animals would cross.
Two Bobcats came out and slowly approached my direction. I was amazed to see 2 Bobcats together they seemed to not notice me. They came to 30 ft. From me and started playing with something in the driveway. I was trying to see what they found without spooking them. They had caught a snake and was having a good time with it. I noticed movement back behind them in the driveway so I focused on it. It looked like someone slowly headed our way. But whoever it was had all black on from head to toe. Remember it’s June in Ms. So it was hot!! When it made to 10 ft. From the Bobcats they spotted it. In 2 leaps they were gone!!
The person or what I now know was a bigfoot got to the now dead snake it got down on its hands and knees. I whistled at it and asked who is there but no response, it hadn’t hit me what I was looking at yet. I stood and stepped off the porch and took 10 steps toward it and stopped. That’s when a funky odor hit me. My mind was screaming at me to get back! I slowly backed to the porch and stepped onto it and it popped. I saw the creature’s head raise up in my direction! My phone was in the house charging so I was trying to open the door slow and reach in and retrieve my phone.
My 45 was beside the phone also. By now the outside security light came on it was dark. Before I could get my phone the creature stood up and walked away. That’s when I got scared. It’s arms were long, hands to it’s knees. But it was only maybe 5 or 6ft. Tall and lanky not very broad.
I went inside and locked everything the best I could. The windows are old wood frame windows with no locks! I took my phone and 45 pistol and went to the bedroom. I finally fell asleep sometime. Around 1:30 am I was startled awake by the sound of someone stepping up on the porch. It pops and squeaks when a person steps up. No dog or cat are heavy enough to make it do that. Now I’m wide awake!
Whoever was on the porch bumped into the chairs and table knocking them over! My ears were strained listening. Then it stepped off the porch and started around the house. The windows were covered with shear thin curtains that I could see through. When it came by the 2 windows in the bedroom I saw 2 very huge silhouettes! 2!!! They were talking to each other in a mumbling kind of language. I couldn’t see their heads because they were as tall as the house! They were feeling along the outside walls. Way up the wall where the roof meets. They circled the entire house. Finally I couldn’t here anything anymore. I never closed my eyes the rest of the night! At 7 am I finally opened the front door to see the table and chairs on their side. I got in my car and got out of there. I moved 2 weeks later.”

Thank you for sharing your experience. I would have left sooner; I’m not brave.

Interesting story, but I would like to add something here. And that is hand Guns, 357 – .44, whether it is Desert eagle or Smith and Wesson and hand loaded to the hilt, can get you killed quicker than you think when going against a very big dangerous game. I have been around all kinds of weapons all my life, 67-69 sniper in Viet Nam I have hand loaded from everything from Winchester model 70 to the M21 and the 458 custom. In 1981. I was invited up for a Brown Bear hunt with a fellow sniper friend that was an Alaskan guide when he was discharged. This was my first chance to go after an Alaskan Brown bear, which can tip the scales at 1,200 lbs and can be 10ft. he guided me on Admiralty Island. we had a very interesting conversation the first night on backup weapons for big bears. and since the Alaskan Brownie is pretty much the same stature as supposably a Sasquatch, my guide friend and his brother highly recommend NO big-bore pistols for brownies. A brown bear can outrun a quarter horse for 30 yards, and if all you have is a big bore pistol, and the brownie makes a bluff charge, and you shoot that bear will be on you before you can get the second shot off, whether you hit it or not. The rule of thumb for killing brown bears is NEVER trying for a kill shot even with my 340 Weatherby shoting 210gr barnes bullets. on your first shot, but you need to break the bear down with one well placed round in the sholder. and there is not a pistol on the face of this earth that can do that. if you try to kill a brown bear with a big bore pistol, you could have a pissed off 1200lb “pit bull” on you before you can get your second shot off. Grizzly and Brown bears are the most dangerous animals this side of Africa. Now you add a Sasquatch that is bigger and faster than a brownie, and all you have is a big bore hand gun “Good Luck”.

Wise councel Darryl R and I might add to grind down the front sight on that bad boy flush to the barrel, apply some axel grease that way it won’t hurt so bad when that squatch or grizz crams it up your pooper.

Yikes. That would be terrifying. Yes, thank you for sharing. The place sounds heavenly until the sasquatches come around. Darn sasquatches.

Thank you for sharing your story! I’m curious as to what part of North Mississippi this happened? Wes interviewed me on episode 787. I live between Holly Springs and Oxford. our property backs up to the National forest. just curious to know if you’re close to our area.
