I get a lot of emails and messages from people regarding their encounters. I found this situation interesting and I have tried to contact the witness. I removed the person’s name from the message as I do not have permission yet to share it but the message is as follows:
“My family and I have been terrorized in our home for a few years, thinking it was a person trespassing on a regular basis. We experienced everything from beating on windows, hard thumping on the walls, messing with our doors and even coming up to our windows growling at us. We even dealt with our daughter coming to us in the middle of the night frantic, telling us that shadow people were coming to her window trying to talk to her. We wrote all of this off thinking it was nothing but a bad dream from something that she might have seen on TV that she shouldn’t have BC she was very bad about sneaking and watching TV when we was busy.
I have hunted since I was ten and have seen everything that resides in these mountains in Kentucky or so I thought. I live on the border or Daniel bone national forest and hunt private land that connects to it. I set out to bow hunt this land one evening in the fall. I got settled in my stand and let the woods calm down.
As I was getting everything settled I noticed banging/ knocking noise and wrote it off as someone building a something and wrote it off at that. Shortly after I done some rattling and followed with some grunts and a snort wheeze call. In just a few minutes I herd movement heading straight towards me. I got exited and got positioned thinking it was a buck coming to check it out, because this was in the peek of the rut. As it made its way close i was concerned about the amount of noise it was making but again wrote it off as a buck preparing to fight. As it got close I was ready to draw when it appeared out of this small creek bottom. It made its way up the hill and emerged from an old logging road and stopped starring straight at me like it knew where to look. I sat puzzled as I was trying to figure out what this animal was. It was black and had came off the logging road on all fours but as I Iocked eyes with it, it raised up-erect some what. I thought this is a bear but I seen no ears.
Then I started to think it was a huge black coyote until I notice prominent shoulders and still no ears. We stared at each other for about 5 to 7 seconds until I said ” what the f***” . then it darted back the way it came like lightning, on all fours from what I could tell until it got closer to the creek. Then this thing broke off its path and circled behind me into a very dense thicket. This is what really got me nervous. I know animals and have come across every thing around here at least once and that’s something they don’t do is double back and get closer. I listened to this thing make its way trough the ticket until I thought it was going to step out but stop just where I couldn’t see it.
I sat anxiously for about twenty to twenty five minutes with my bow poison at the thicket ready to draw and make a shot just in case it made a charge for me. During this stare down it would take a few steps and reposition its self slill keeping out of sight. It was getting dark and it had not move in a few minutes but a knew I had to get out of these woods pertaining to a had no flash light n I wanted to be able to have a little light to be able to see this creature just in case it made a move. So I shoved my things in my back pack n stood up. As soon as I stood this thing made a god awful noise that’s really hard to explain. It was a mixture of like a deep deep sigh or exhale mixed with like a guttural rumble, n as soon as this noise ended it sounded like someone let loose a bull in this thicket.
When it stopped I climbed down and started walking backwards up the trail n as I got about 30yards it let out another screa and I walked as fast as I could out. As I got back to the road I herd another vocal closer to me that the previous position n ran back to the house.. After this encounter I looked at EVERYTHING different. We never thought there was creatures out there like this and looking back that was not the first time these creatures have been in our presence but we were to ignorant to realize what we were dealing with.
Before that encounter my wife seen what she thought was a person 3 different times n I witnessed the third time myself n chased it through the woods with my pistol, BC “it” was messing around my garage n had enough, n when I realized this thing was leaving me in its dust I rang out half my clip in its general direction n gave it a piece of my mind. Things stopped for a while, n then I had my encounter a few months later. We both look back n these were not people. Things started happening again not long after my encounter it got sketchy. But we knew what we were up against n took more precautions. We still own that house but we are currently staying somewhere else. We have 3 kids n the last run in with them really made me rethink my children’s safety.. I don’t know if you still run your show.
I wouldn’t mind sharing our experiences as long as we are not ridiculed. We have no one to express our emotions or feelings to, people seem to think you are a but jobs n make fun of us in some ways. These things are serious and not to be taken in a joking way. You guys are awesome at what you do n I love your show.”

I’d love to hear this gentleman’s experiences on a show!!! I’d like to tell him thanks for sharing his encounters and I’d sure hope that no one ridiculed him.
Tracy A
Tracy G. , talk to this guy.
Sir, please know that you will not find a more gracious ear, off air and on then Wes. If you have the time, listen to the archived podcast on this site, I think you will see. Understand that this site was born of 2 men’s own struggle with their encounter. That the ongoing purpose is to provide a SAFE place to share. If you are a member read the forums, you will find most here drink the punch or at least are sipping. Every person that has shared on this site furthers the subject and will be remembered when the truth is accepted. You will find friends and support here. But don’t do it for us or Wes…do it for yourself and your family. You are not, nor will you be alone.
JOHN E
Yes Hope he can feel safe here we understand..
Damon M
Friend –
It is hard to imagine what some of you folks have to go through, and why the Beast are kept such a mystery to the general public. It seems as if it is coming down to domain. As the Squatch continue to get squeezed for habitat these types of encounters are going to increase. Somehow there needs to be a balance and enforcement when things go wrong…at this point the Govt is not taking the responsibility as it did against the mother Grizzly and her cub this week. I am not into shooting these guys, but there must be a way to control them – if science and wild life management took this issue seriously and brought it into the light. Wake up government – we are.
Our prayers are with you friend…

PATRICK
government? incompetent as a system. I know there are very intelligent and well intentioned employees, but under the umbrella of the whole…leaders are misleaders. efrs with their own agenda.
DrAaron
exactly, innocent people are dying and they are more concerned about their agenda and big money lobbyists. I will try to be nicer when they try to be smarter.
mark s
No ridicule here, I would love to hear your story and Wes is your man, It is good you are not staying there anymore, be careful when you go back.
Gabriel H
Makes me hope (although it’s unlikely) that this family lives in Texas and could be put in contact with the GCBRO.
I’m all ears if/when this witness is ready to share & I’m confident many others here feel the same way

They live in Kentucky, bordering the Daniel Boone National Forest (not too far from myself). I actually live in the Kentucky Ridge State Forest. I have never seen anything, but I know the noises I’ve heard and the things my kids have seen have made me a believer. God bless and prayers for this family.
Kent C
I agree with a comment Wes made months ago: “…..Hunters are some of the most credible witnesses!!”
Jonathan B
I agree hunter’s make great witness, when bigfoot for lack of a better word are very aggressive when you mess with there hunting. I believe that’s what happened with my encounter, we had made to trips hunting and thought for our last trip it would be a good idea to take a wheel barrel in case we shot a deer. The sound of the wheelbarrow might have pissed it off. Keep in mind we where 12 or 13 years old at the time and caring a deer a few miles at @2:00 am would be hard.
David D
It sounds like a job for the guy and his crew that hunt down the aggressive ones. I can’t remember his name, but he was on the program a while back. Time to knock one of these wood devils down and put in its place! Just for the sake of the man and his family.

Elaine G
I would love to hear this encounter on SC
Robert P
This will be a really good one. But Kentucky is about 400 miles from the Gulf Coast guys.
SHANNON D
Holy Cow!! Stay safe, that was hair raising..
Pat T
Great story, hope you come on and share. In the mean time be safe
SANDRA E
I would love to see you come on as a guest….and there won’t be any ridicule here. Please stay safe.
Robert W
The elite of the military industrial complex should go in and address “the problem.” They have other times as in the Dennis Martin case (speculated by David P). I can tell you Bro this is a SAFE place to tell your encounter. Never forget the gentleman from Alabama with an encounter in a panel truck. He cried on the show- and Wes was very gracious to him. Have a great weekend everyone!
Kay S
Come on the show and you’ll find Wes is a compassionate listener. You’ll get no ridicule from me, we’re believers here.
Amy D
When I think of all the times I’ve hiked in Daniel Boone National Forest unaware of what is in the ..NOW IM SCARED!! Thanks for your encumber friend. It helps everyone!
Amy D
‘Encounter’

When I think of all the times I’ve hiked in Daniel Boone National Forest unaware of what is in there ..NOW IM SCARED!! Thanks for your encounter friend. It helps everyone…your safe in Wes’ hands..he’s the best out there!

Priority 1 – keep your family safe. Staying elsewhere is a smart move until you can figure out how to handle this.
To take them on could be a mistake. Assess the situation. Are they just curious or are they actually aggressive?
Animals, even top predators know when to fight or flight. Is a confrontation worth this risk of injury or death?
Be careful, think before you act and speak with others that have had interactions at their residences. Compare notes.
Kenneth M
No rodicule here!
I think we should help him barracade the houseto protect the family – Bars on the windows, cameras everywhere, every angle around the home – if it doesn’t catch a glimpse, it may help keep them away. The way it circled back around him when he was hunting was a tactical offensive move. He’s lucky he’s not a 411 statistic.
Tracy G
Do not be afraid to come on here and tell your story. Wes is a stand up guy,and Not One person here is going to say anything bad towards you. I understand your fear for your family’s safety and do not blame you at all for not staying there!
You can trust Wes and everyone here! If you need to talk privately,just let me know and we will work something out.
Robert W
Amen to that comment, Tracy G.!!
When I was 18 y.o. (1975) my twin brother and I saw something that chased us in the Cleveland Metro Parks after a run through the park ( we called it the “Valley”). Paced us all the way- large and creepy… My parents said we were nuts and shunned us…we never spoke and I forgot until a year ago…coming to this site clarified the incident in my mind and I didn’t feel crazy. Who knows what we saw- but I know if I got on the show I wouldn’t be shamed.
Smallfoot
Time to send in the Delta Force/Green Berets?.. The police certainly won’t help you. I really hope you find a way to resolve this very unnerving and undoubtedly frightening situation. As others have said, you have a community of people here who will not disparage you or ridicule your encounters. They were real, it’s still happening and it’s definitely not down to bears.. Perhaps it would be a good idea for you share your encounters with the show and maybe they can put you in touch with someone who can render assistance. Never give in.
Joni
Oh come on the show Wes is the best ! You and your family will not be ridiculed on SC!!!!
This reminds me of a few other encounters that’s taken place and the family’s finally got it off
Their chest, What a burden to have and not being believed is bad enough!!
I do believe Wes has all the Right connections ! =)
It’s time for Bobby and his crew to put an end to the madness your family is going through!
I PRAY TO God you get the help your family needs Right Away like » Yesterday~~~
Donald B.
No ridicule here …Plus telling your story can sometimes help slowly heal any possible trauma.
There is a saying …”that if you hold your belly you could get stomach cancer”.
William L
Kentucky Hunter, if you have listened to the show you should know the everyone who shares their encounters here is treated with respect. Wes has had people with just about every kind of encounter you could think of so we have pretty much heard it all and I am not aware of anyone being ridiculed; well except for this truly crazy guy who said he has been around for several thousand years and had been to the planet that Bigfoots are from. No one openly said anything about his stories or laughed at him, but it took everything everyone had not to. You certainly don’t sound anything like him and I am sure you will be warmly welcomed, so, please, feel free to arrange a time with Wes to come get this stuff off your chest. So many guests have remarked at how good it felt just to be able to share their stories. Whatever you decide to do, the best of luck to you in dealing with this issue.
Gail d
We would love to have you on the show. May I suggest putting motion detector lighting around your property. It has helped people when they were getting unwelcomed visits they don’t like bright lights.
Please come on the show!!
