Sunday’s Show: It was just staring right at me

A listener writes”My name is (removed), I live in Missouri. Last year I had an very close encounter with a very large bigfoot or what I assume was a bigfoot while turkey hunting in Greenville, Missouri.

I was on a private farm that I have hunted since I was 14 with my father. I drove up there at 4:00 in the morning and got there at around 4:46. Then I proceed to walk up the hill that I assumed the turkeys would be on due to their position the previous year. The turkeys normally start gobbling at about 5:30 so I walked up this pretty good sized hill and sat at the base of a tree. The first gobble I heard was, as I only assume 800 yards away on the other side of the farm, then another, and another. I sat at the base of that tree for another 35 minutes or so.

After I came to the conclusion that I would have to walk all the way across the farm to get to the turkeys that where gobbling I walked back down off of this hill down to the dirt road and then walked the 400 yards or so to the other side of the farm where the turkeys where still gobbling. I cut into the woods and found a pretty decent deer trail and followed it all the way up this monster of a hill. The only reason the hill is so bad is because of all the wild BlackBerry bushes which are green, bendy, and covered in thorns at that time of year. When I got to the top of the hill there was a row of fallen white oaks going almost from the top of the hill down to the bottom of the draw kind of like dominoes.

A tornado had come through there a few years before and taken down all of the big trees so this was normal, I proceeded to walk across the ridge towards the fallen trees. When I got to the edge of one of the big trees I bent down to walk under one of them and as I come out from under the other side this giant thing stood straight up out of a pile of brushy limbs mixed with blackberry thorns about 9 feet away from me, it shot up so fast I actually thought it was a turkey flying up until it stopped at about 9 1/2 10 foot. It was just staring right at me, its legs looked like they where the same width as my shoulders and this things shoulder looked like they where the same width as a larger truck. Its hair kind of differed in length and was a brownish black, about the same color as a beaver or a muskrat it had single white hairs here and there on its legs and around its shoulders. I don’t know if I was in shock or what but for some reason I started to take another step forward.

Right when I moved, this thing shot down the draw. It had to of covered 150 yards in 5 or 6 seconds then it just stopped. When it ran the best way I can describe it is a vibrating, boom boom boom!!!! I work part time at a mechanics shop that only works on heavy machinery and it felt and sounded just like a trakho bucket being brought up and then back down on the ground to compact dirt. Now this next part I can fully explain because I still don’t know why I did it.

After this thing stopped I kept going forward across this ridge. A few yards after I had passed where this thing was standing something down on the bottom of the draw made the longest sound I have ever heard. It sounded like a mixture of a woman screaming mixed the vibration of a base. I reflexed and shouldered my shotgun at the sound and the scream abruptly stopped and turned into the sound of air being sucked in like some with asthma. After that I didn’t hear of see anything else the entire day. I did find a track at the bottom of that draw but it was small enough to be a really big persons. I will email you a pic of it if you want. I had a few other things happen around my house and one othere thing happen on the farm but they didn’t effect me like l this did.”

    Spooky thats not too far from here. I’m from Poplar Bluff but i have a lot of family out in greenville/silva area where your talking about and used to spend a lot of time out there as a kid. Would love to hear this on the show. Thank you for sharing.

    Some people amaze me. This guy is the kind of person you want around when things get sketchy. How many people would step forward in a situation like that! Kudo’s to him!

    How does a 9.5 to 10 ft creature hide out? How does it exist, feed itself, let alone a troop? I’m not doubting the encounter, but baffled these things walk around usually undetected. It still baffles me…

      Good point 99. I think a lot of us wonder that. I sure don’t know, but I have some thoughts. First, I think they have an amazing ability to blend into their surroundings, to camouflage themselves. Also, when needed, they can drop down and move on all fours, which negates their great height. In addition, when humans get too close, they can move out at remarkable speeds. You hear that often when people have encounters. In this case, the guy said it covered 150 yards, in 5 or 6 seconds!!! Think about that! That’s the length of one and half football fields, in 5 seconds!!! Astonishing!

    Second encounter I have heard of from this area in the last week. This is the kind of sighting I dream of, up close, but do I really. I may have had a chance once and I chickened out.

    @Asheim & Glen K ~ YES. And can you imagine a 9.5 something something Coming at you at that speed? I’d just faint, probably. And yes, the crawling on the fingertips thing is creepy too.
