Have to post this one as a .pdf file. I'm not sure how I evaded the New York Times paywall to print this, but I'm not noble and will take the freebie. 1973 Illinois.pdf

Originally released as Episode 438. What happens when a camping trip at Harrison Bay State Park turns into a night-long siege by something massive — something that walks on two legs and isn’t afraid of guns? In this gripping episode, we sit down with Mark Eller Sr. from Chickamauga, Georgia, to hear decades of personal encounters with Bigfoot across Tennessee, Georgia, and Arkansas. From eerie whoops echoing off sandstone cliffs near Raccoon Mountain Pump Station, to a terrifying moonlit night when heavy footsteps splashed closer through shallow water, to the jaw-dropping sight of a towering figure leaping highway fences at full speed in rural Arkansas — Mark’s stories will have you rethinking the quiet places you thought you knew. You’ll hear names like Missionary Ridge, Pigeon Mountain Wildlife Management Area, and Pine Tree WMA — and the unsettling events that unfolded there. This isn’t just a string of campfire tales; it’s a detailed, first-hand record from a lifelong outdoorsman who knows what he saw, heard, and felt. 🗣️ Share Your Story Had a Bigfoot encounter or strange experience?

I am a long time poster and visited for several hours a week and that was at the height of the Finding Bigfoot show so volume of interest is drastically lower today as most other shows are completely faked and fabricated. I personally checked in to see what field research methods, techniques and ideas are being tossed around out in the woods. Couple other points to note. 1 - Forums are dying as human attention spans decrease due to overstimulation by social media. 2 - Video media as a format ( youtube, patreon, tiktok, live streaming ) is eating forums for breakfast, direct commentary and long format video scape covers most of the discussion points and theories. 3 - Field research efforts these days are ultra weak sauce compared to how " the community " use to address the subject, most now sit around and slip into " cant get them on camera, must be paranormal " or they simply do nothing of effort to get out and search for evidence. Bigfoot is a campfire hobby with very little actual pursuit these days. We do have a couple die-hard guys still here but the volume of activity has always been around PGF debate and field research and now post the lockdowns, people are preoccupied and distracted by seahawks games, vacations and what ever other primary hobbies people engage in these days. The vigor and thrill of walking around in the dark and looking for prints is gone for most or waved away by the embrace of weak minded woo " experiences " that are create insulated FaceBook groups for self worship. No red circles required to figure that out if you check in on all these media sites. I now check in like once every other month to see if anything is going on research related and it seems that the spring has dried up and personally, this drives me nuts because we have more tools today than any point in history. This concludes my rant, lol.

One of the mysteries of historical newspaper articles - how did distant papers get information about encounters several states away? This story about an Illinois encounter was published in The Call, Schuylkill Haven (PA), on March 31, 1922.

Published in the Pine Grove (PA) Press-Herald on July 20, 1901. Another toss-up between human and Bigfoot.

I was hesitant to post this as it almost certainly seems to be a human male - haven't we all seen a lame drifter wander into town and transform themselves into a terror who can outmaneuver hundreds of searchers. The description in the paper of being clothed in a gunny sack may be true (and this is a man), or it may that stating "the wild man is buck naked and covered with hair" was too much for the sensibilities of the time. Published in The Record American, Mahonoy City (PA), November 18, 1920. This story is also in Bigfoot in New York and New England by Paul and Robert Bartholomew as the Malone Wild Man.

What happens when a frosty November morning in rural Oregon turns into a life-altering standoff with a towering, cream-colored Bigfoot? In this gripping episode, Jeremiah Byron sits down with Jane — a Navy veteran and retired postal worker — who came within arm’s reach of a massive Sasquatch outside her home near Little Fall Creek, just off the Willamette National Forest. Jane recounts the terrifying moments when her floodlights illuminated the creature’s immense frame, its head tilting to reveal glowing blue eyes — and the paralyzing dread that locked her in place. You’ll also hear about 13 other sightings reported that same night in the area, plus strange connections to historical “wild man” reports nearby. From the gravel driveway to the shadowy tree line, this is a raw, unfiltered account of an encounter that took away her love for the forest… and left her with questions she may never answer. 🗣️ Share Your Story Had a Bigfoot encounter or strange experience?

Yes, that was a good report and typical of bigfoot coming around a cabin. ALSO NOTICED: we got trail cams and put apples out on our deck after the incident. The cameras were moved by an unknown reason and one photo showed the apples there and the next showed them gone but nothing was captured on the camera as it was turned another direction than we placed it"

What does this have to do with religion, social upheaval and government maintaining control? Can you explain please.

I full believe that our government knows full well what these beings are. I don't believe for a second that has anything to do with shutting down commercial forestry or access to the forest. Biologists only know about the animals they have studied. This has more to do with religion, social upheaval and the government maintaining control.

Short clip; could be a demented man who survives in the wild, could be Bigfoot. Published on June 29, 1923 in the Pottsville (PA) Republican and Herald.

Hello, I'm from KS. I've been interested in Bigfoot sightings since I was about eight years old but recently I became interested in the presence or absence of North American apes (besides humans, of course). I'm also intrigued by some more recent reported activity around Monkey Mountain (Jackson County, MO).

This from one of my favorite more recent reports: https://www.bfro.net/GDB/show_report.asp?id=76973
