A listener writes “I’m from Missouri. My first big foot encounter was actually on a BFRO expedition. We reach the campsite set up and met on Thursday. Went out at 9 PM and the gentleman took us to the lake and told us some stories and gave us some information on the area.

We went to a small graveyard and walked around. After a few minutes we started walking back up the hill. We stopped and listened. A couple of us smelled a skunk he smell but only for a brief moment like it was just kind of blowing on the wind. We got back in the truck and headed to the next location. At the next location all the members met up we divided and headed out. Our group walk down the road and out into the woods on an old logging road. We went into the woods a few yards and the gentleman suggested we find a place to sit and just listen. So we all found places to sit and listen.

I was sitting next to sunshine she pulled up her hoodie. I sat there looking at her thinking how if I didn’t know she was there I would walk past her. About that time the men jumped up they determined there was someone or something sitting with us they moved toward it. It jumped up and rolled over the berm I did not see this. By this point me my husband Robert and a young girl were standing and watching the men. We started to hear a loud slapping/popping sound behind us.

The young girl looked at me eyes as big as quarters , I looked at her and nodded because I heard it too! I didn’t looked at Robert my husband he had heard it also. I turned around slowly to see what it was. The moon was full so I could see well. I saw a large dark figure standing behind a tree, the figure was so large it couldn’t hide behind the tree but it wasn’t trying to hide. It was standing and looking our way and then it would sway to the other side of the tree. It kept doing this making no attempt to hide.

It was very large, dark fur/hair. My husband calls the leader over and tells him he needs to see what’s going on over here. This whole time the gentleman in our group had been discussing what had happened at the other side of our group. The leader decides we need to leave . I wasn’t ready to leave and I was not very happy about leaving because this was what we were in the woods for. So we started walking out of the woods. Some thing followed us out you could hear it walk. We reached the road and started back to the other group.

One of the other groups was Thurman in the road as we walked back to them. This person yelled who did you leave behind down in the road. We said nobody we are all here. They said well then there is something large in the road. We took a headcount and everyone was counted for so one of the guys walked back down to the road they served him to compare to what they had just saw. He did not compare at all he was considerably smaller. After all the excitement we headed back to Basecamp.

The next day we went back out to that area and walked in again. On the way in there was a mud hole and my husband found a bear foot print in the mud hole. They did try to cast it but there was too much water and the print just didn’t turn out. That was my first encounter and that hurt me I’ve been going out on expeditions with groups ever cents. We are in southern Missouri and we have a lot of activity here. I also had a very strange encounter with what would be in my backyard. I live in a small town of about 18,000 people Where we live is in the old part of town and our house backs up to a wooded area. I had come home from work one day I live in an older home that has very large windows in it. I had went into the back bathroom and you can see out our windows and we have a very park like backyard. So when I use the bathroom I look out the window. I’m looking out the window of this day and I see for the lack of a better term The predator in cloaked form from that predator movie.

It was moving across my neighbors yard and when it’s in that like cloaked where it’s reflecting light is what I saw. I just sat there going what is that. I couldn’t even wrap my mind around what I had just seen. I left the bathroom came back into my living room and just sat there for a couple of hours in shock. I didn’t tell anyone about this for probably eight months I just couldn’t bring myself to talk about it and on some level I blocked it pushed it away wasn’t dealing with it.

I finally told a couple other investigators and my husband one night at dinner. Every time I hear someone talk about this on your show it still freaks me out. Do you have my email address or if any of this interest you because I’ve seen the lights in the woods too.”
