Bigfoot in the Piney Woods

 

First hand account in East Texas piney woods.

This encounter taks place roughly 24 miles from Lufkin off hwy 103 in 1996

My wife and I set out for  an overnight camping trip in the country. I go hiking and camping fairly often and my wife sometimes accompanies me on my outings. This time we went about 30 miles southeast from where we live, in Nacogdoches to some remote family-owned land.

 Our land is on a small blacktop county road and few people live there. Only one neighbor lives close by, an old woman across the road. The road parallels Sam Rayburn reservoir for several miles and is a short distance from it at this point. It was late afternoon when we arrived there. Wildlife are plentiful in this area, with deer, bobcat, hogs, etc. and since I occasionally would hunt deer there, I put out some corn for them to get ready for season and then we set up our camp. We have a small storage building that family and friends use to sleep in on our hunting and camping outings. After we were set up for the night, I started a fire about five yards away from the building to roast hot dogs on. It was beginning to get dark at this time. We have a camcorder that we always take on our trips and I filmed the outing. 

I remembered that as it had gotten dark, dogs could be heard across the nearby road, barking like crazy. Up to this point I filmed everything, but since I was getting hungry, I stopped to make me some supper.

 My wife was sitting down on a makeshift chair and I was at the fire. Suddenly, a loud howl, or hoot came from a nearby creekbottom, a distance of about 70 yards. The sound is best described as a "WOO-WAAH" sound. It was very loud and sounded almost baboon-like, but also much like a human's vocal chords. We were both shocked by the piercing sound, but before we could react, whatever it was came to within approximately 8 yards and screamed again. My wife jumped from her chair sideways and ran to the shed spraining her ankle in the process. 

I didn't know what the sounds were, but I am sure they were NOT deer, hogs or hoot owls, or anything else that I have EVER heard. I could not be sure if it was not some prankster, although someone would risk getting shot coming to a person's camp at night like that. I ran to the shed to get my pistol which I always carry on our outings, all the while the "animal" screamed the same sound in rapid succession, about 7 times in all.The sound emanated from behind a pile of tree limbs placed there on previous outings.

 I went to the edge of our camp and shined my flashlight into and around the pile and held my pistol ready, but no more sounds were heard. I couldn't see any eyes shining in my flashlight beam either. Even though we were a little unnerved by the event, I planned to go ahead and make our beds for the night, but my wife's ankle was beginning to swell and she was in pain, so we packed our things and went back home. I have gone back a few times since then, but have not noticed anything strange. So if it wasn't a bigfoot, fine I just don't really know what it was. All the experienced outdoorsmen I have talked to about the sounds say they have never heard anything like them either.

The two decided to leave the area after hearing the unsettling vocalizations and realizing that the wife’s ankle was quite possibly sprained. The wife remarked that she has not returned to the site since, nor will she ever go back in the future.

TEXAS Bigfoot sightings 

Bigfoot in the Angelina national forest.

                 🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳👣🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳

Two men doing seismic drilling in the in the Angelina national forest have a Bigfoot encounter in 1979.

The two men had been drilling seismic holes at one eighth of a mile intervals in a straight line. They had turned off the equipment and were sitting on their machines taking a break.

Untill they noticed that the forest had become unnaturally quiet. His description was this: “It became so quiet you could hear your cigarette burning.” the witness claimed.

Movement caught his eye as the creature stood up. He briefly saw its profile before it turned and moved silently off in a relaxed pace from left to right. It took four or five steps and was gone into the ravine. He was immediately struck by the way its long arms swung. In that instant he realized it was not a bear he was observing.

The body was stocky and quite muscular. It was broad shouldered with a very large chest. It did not taper at the waist but remained thick and solid with an estimated weigh of 400lbs. It was solidly covered with four or five inch, long reddish brown hair with the exception of the facial area where the hair was sparse. Its height was 6 feet or taller.

The witness had the impression that it had been watching them and was curious about the noisy machine they were running. At no time did he feel threatened or scared.

The 153,179-acre Angelina National Forest is located in Angelina, Nacogdoches, San Augustine and Jasper counties. The forest lies in the Neches River Basin and on the north and south shores of Sam Rayburn Reservoir, an 114,500-acre lake.

One of the witnesses statement..

 I was doing seismic, drilling in the Angelina National forest for several weeks. Late one afternoon, in a opening, we decided to stop and take a break, on the upper end of an open area in the thick woods. It was quiet, when I saw something, large and dark brownish, stand up and walk away from me. It was approx; 100 yards away. 

It walked 20 to 50 feet then descended into a ravine, it looked to go down on all four legs as it went into the ravine then it was gone. 

I thought it was a bear, but chances of seeing a bear in 1979, would be slim.This animal walked on two legs. This only lasted for just a few seconds,10 maybe. I turned to my coworker and asked, "Did you see that? he said yes, and what the bleep was that?" I have thought about this for several years and in my mind's eye I can still see the animal walking away from me to this day, 30 years later.

                                              Jeff Boiler's Terrifying Bigfoot Encounter

 

 

 Jeff Boiler is a former marine and later police officer in Oregon, he appeared on the scify channels "paranormal witness'"to recount his terrifying encounter..

Jeff boils bigfoot

America is a fast landscape of scenic mountains and lush forests especially our national parks.

But that beauty may be hiding a far more insidious secret.

If you are a fan of mysteries and strange disappearances then you have likely heard of the Missing 411 book series
and the many odd and possibly paranormal disappearance's 

But there are also hundreds of sightings involving cryptids ranging from bigfoot, werewolf/dogman, reptilians,
feral humans and even vampires.

Todays post is a terrifying bigfoot encounter in the pacific north west, Involving a former Marin turned deputy named Jeff Boiler.
...................................


Jeff moved to Oregon in 1997, he had  always loved nature and just decided to find a nice place away from it all.


One of his friends was the sheriff of a small town in northwest Oregon and offered him a job as a new deputy sheriff, which Jeff excepted.



A few months in,  and he was really enjoying his new life surrounded by nature.

Then one day work was slow and he got off early, so he decided to take a trip into the mountains, Jeff had a fiend that had passed away some
20 years prior and he planed on visiting the site to pay his respect.

The place he planned on visiting was an extremely remote area of the cascade mountains.

He started his trip early and took a map and compass with him, as  his planned hike was unmarked and
far off the beaten path.


After around two hours of trekking through thick undergrowth and heavy terrain he decided to take a short break.


Before his break he had found a creek and took a moment to refill his water bottle and check his map once more, but as he was looking upward and checking his compass he noticed  something looking back at him from the  edge of a slight cliff just ahead of him partially concealed by a tree and the rocky terrain.

In a moment of disbelief and confusion Jeff tilts his head to the side in a curious manner, and to his shock the  creature mimics is action and tilts its head too.

 

Then what Jeff describe as a large hairy creature about 8 feet tall and on two legs steps out from be hide the tree.

Now startled Jeff, pulls his side-arm(Gun) and the thing run's off at an incredible speed.  

Jeff then climbs up the the location he had seen this thing in search of track's or hair samples, but finding nothing significant decides to start walking off in the same direction it had fled in hopes of seeing it again to try and better understand what he had witnessed.


Jeff had been walking for an hour or so in the same direction, and hadn't seen anything odd when all of the sudden he hears a loud crack followed by what sounded like a falling tree off to his right.

Now sure that it had doubled back and was now following him, be starts to worry as the bigfoot can see him,but he can not see it.

This is the perfect opportunity for an ambush!

Not a good situation to be in!

As he starts back tracking his path back out of the forest he hears another loud crash and knows this thing is following him.

Jeff now fills that he is being hunted and begins to run, as he's running he enters a clearing, and notices a deer just standing there staring at him, then it looks behind him and runs away as fast as it can in the opposite direction.

He slowly turns to look behind him but is still unable to see where this thing is but realizes it could grab him at any moment and he need's to go Now.

He makes a frantic dash back to  where his truck is and the crash's and breaking tree limbs are getting loader and closer by the moment.

His only thought is just get to the truck, he wants some steel between him and this thing, but once he's within a  hundred yards of his truck everything just stops, he thinks to himself this is it, its right up on me and is about to attack.


But nothing. he finally gets to his truck slams the door  and leaves.


Once back in town he stops by the sheriff's office and tells him about the encounter, to his surprise the sheriff  tells him "I get reports like that up here all the time." you can file a report on it but chances are its never  going to be followed up on(investigated).


Jeffs story is a terrifying encounter with something many don't even believe to exist, but it also make's you wonder how close he was to becoming just another missing person in the wilderness?

How many people encounter these things and just never live to tell the tale.

Jeff Boiler was on a show called Paranormal Witness, if you would like to hear his first hand account just look that up, it's a great ep.
