John from the Radio Show

Last night 6/6/07, on the Bigfoot Live Radio Show, a guest in the chat room told me he had an encounter with a creature back in 1982. I asked him to send me the story so I could post it on this web site. The following is the story as I recieved it.

As is so often the case, John was not always willing to share this story because he feared the ridicule of his friends. I must applaud him for sharing it with us today! How many more people out there have had similar encounters and are afraid to talk about them?

Hello JavaBob ,

Here is a copy of my sighting report like you asked for. I live in Virginia, but the sighting was in North Carolina. YEAR: 1982 SEASON: Fall MONTH: October STATE: North Carolina COUNTY: Pasquatank County LOCATION DETAILS: Pasquatank County NC and the property was on/near the Pasquatank River, near Elizabeth City and the Great Dismal Swamp. NEAREST TOWN: Elizabeth City TIME AND CONDITIONS: About 9 am ENVIRONMENT: Semi rural area. The area is woodlands, along with some swamps. Deer and other various types of wildlife frequent these areas. The Atlantic Ocean is only a few miles away. OBSERVED: I wanted to let you know about a sighting of Bigfoot I had in North Carolina. It happened in 1982, I was about 18 at the time of the sighting. It was in the fall, in October.

First of all, I should start by letting you know I am what you would call a city boy. Scared and out of place in the woods. A friend of mine invited me to go Deer hunting with his father and him on a large parcel of private property they owned in North Carolina. I'm willing to try anything, so I went. This Property was set back away from the closest road about a 1/2 mile on foot, before you even got to the cabins they owned. These cabins were on stilts, like a beach house about 10 feet high, with stairs. For what reason, I have no idea, although we were next to a small inland waterway.

At about 5am in the morning we proceeded to go hunting, we walked about a half hour with my friends taking me to my deer stand and moving on to theirs. This deer stand was about 10 feet high in a tree with camouflaged covering. I did see many deer and a black bear that day, but I didn't have the heart to shoot them.

I guess at about 9 am My sighting began with a bad smell. It smelled worse than a dog that had been playing in a sewer. Then I heard it before I saw it, snapping twigs or branches as it walked, at first I thought it was my friend and his dad, come to rescue me from this ordeal. I only saw it from the waist up, from a distance of about 50 yards. And if It knew I was there, It didn't care. It stood in one spot for a good 5 minutes eating leaves or berries, so I got a good look at it. Having seen a bear earlier that day there is ABSOLUTELY NO WAY this could be a case of mistaken identity. This creature had hands like a human, that plucked the berries it was eating and it looked very fussy about the ones it wanted. The hands looked dark in color and relatively hairless except the back of the hand was hairy. It looked to be about 8 foot tall, and just unbelievably massive in the chest and shoulder areas. Its fur was very dark black in color. I only caught a glimpse of its face, as its back was to me, and it looked hairy except around the eyes. The neck was short and stubby with a kind of furry ridge that ran up the back of the neck, to the top of what looked like a slightly pointed head that sloped down to the forehead, like a gorilla I saw in the DC zoo.

When I lost sight of it I could still hear it crunch sticks and leaves as it walked on its way for about 5 more minutes. Needless to say I was so scared I almost Pee’d my self waiting quietly for my friends to come save me. When they arrived, I told them the story, and of course they thought it was a bear. I haven't told this story to many people, because of the ridicule I received from them.

Thank you,

John
