Speaker 2: In July of nineteen seventy five, a man hit a
seven foot tall reddish brown creature with his car, but
the beast got up and chased him. I have never
told anyone about this because I didn't want to hear
the jokes. But it was mid July of nineteen seventy five.
I was heading toward the beach in my sports car,
top down with the music blasting. It was around eight
forty five PM, so it was still light out, but
heading towards dusk. I had my head lights on and
I was cruising at about sixty miles an hour when
I rounded a corner and there in the roads stood
this large, hairy thing. I slammed on my brakes and
swerved around it, but I must have glanced it because
it bounced over the passenger side of my car. I
slid the car around and stopped where my headlights were
about halfway on this thing. It got up and came
at me. I was about twenty five feet away from
the thing, and I could smell it. It smelled horrible.
The smell hung in the air like a wet blanket.
This thing was about seven to seven and a half
feet tall, had reddish brown, matted looking hair. Its face
was hairless, and this thing looked pissed. So I put
the car in reverse, backed up, and threw the car
and drive and took off. As I was spinning around,
I looked in the rear view mirror and it was
right on my car's rear end. I heard a loud bang,
and about that time my car caught traction and I
took off. I left the creature running down the road
after me. I have never been so scared in all
my life. After I got to my destination, I checked
my car. The passenger side of rear court panel was
dented in and it had hair on it. My rear
spoiler was shattered where he had hit the rear of
my car. I told my friend's family and police and
the insurance that I'd hit a stray cow. But it
took weeks to get that smell off the outside of
my car, and the inside still had the smell. It
was awful. It was like sewage mixed with something else.
I was twenty seven, then I'm thirty eight. Now I've
not been down that road since, and I'll drive forty
five to fifty miles out of my way to avoid
going that route. The hairy creature eating my corn. In
the summer of two thousand and nine, a deer hunter
had a sighting of a large creature while checking his
corn pile in Rose Hill, North Carolina. The hunter writes,
while checking my deer bait pile behind my home in
the woods, I walked up on a seven to eight
foot tall, stinky, hairy creature eating my corn. It was
sitting down when I first saw it, with its back
to me. It heard me, and it stood up and
faced me about twenty five yards away. I froze as
we stood there, staring at each other for a few minutes.
I was terrified, but I acted like I wasn't. It
seemed to decide that I was no threat, and it
walked away deeper into the woods. I had a pistol
with me, but I didn't feel threatened enough to kill it.
I don't believe the thirty eight that I had would
have stopped it anyway. I have a feeling if I'd
have shot it, it would have ripped me from lend
lamb Bigfoot scene near Fort Knox, a firefighter writes, I
wanted to share my experience that I had about fifteen
years ago and lived in a rural area southwest of Louisville, Kentucky.
I was a firefighter for a small volunteer department. We
got a call from the fire department at Fort Knox
Base and they told us they were fighting a fire
and it was heading our way. I was in a
four wheel drive field unit going on a dirt road
on the inside of the border. When we came around
the bend, it was smoky, but you could easily see
something standing in the middle of the road looking towards us.
We were about one hundred and fifty to two hundred
feet away when it let out a deep, and I
mean deep, bellowy grunt. Then I saw a medium sized
creature step out of the tree line with two smaller ones.
The family group of bigfoot quickly rushed north and over
the fence and out of sight. The first one was
about seven to eight feet tall with matted brown or
black hair. I couldn't tell how much it weighed. The
medium sized one was definitely a female because of the
way it acted towards the little ones. It was easily
six and a half feet tall with a slender build.
The small ones were about five to six feet tall
and skinny bigfoot drags a deer into a cave in
West Texas. I was in West Texas and I was
deer Honey. The closest city to me was Comstock. I
was sitting at a bronco and joined the view, but
across the canyon I saw this blackish brown creature dragging
a deer carcass into a cave. I grabbed a pair
of binoculars and zoomed in on the creature. I could
see that it was very dark skin and had a
flat nose, and its eyes were a bright amber color.
It had very thick hair around the torso and legs,
but lightened up around the face, and it had large
ape like lips. The terrain in that area was rocky,
so it had to be very good at climbing and maneuvering.
I would say I observed this thing for about five minutes.
It was about two hundred yards away, but I did
see the creature going to the cave. The cave was
up on at least a five foot high ledge, and
it just stepped up there like it was climbing stairs. Now,
the deer was about the size of a smaller elk.
This was the biggest buck I'd ever seen. It was
at least five feet in length, and it was pretty wide.
I would say this creature had to be at least
seven feet tall. The shoulder length would have been about
four to five feet, very very wide shoulders. The creature's
face was very ape like and did not resemble a
human at all. The face had lots of scars, and
it looked very similar to a gorilla in the eyes,
but the jaws did not extend like the face of
a gorilla or a chimp. It looked similar to a
human in the jaw area. The teeth were that of
an eph though, and the skin was very very dark brown.
Bigfoot scene in Hardman, Oregon. The sighting occurred in the
West Reserve in the Blue Mountain Range, just south of
Highway two o seven. My background as a retired police officer,
so you must understand at the time I did not
want to be called a nut if you get my drift.
This is why I told no one about this until now.
It was about eleven thirty PM in late October or
early November of nineteen eighty, the same year that Mount
Saint Helens had erupted in the Great State of Washington.
I can still remember everything about this incident like it
was yesterday. My truck was pulling up the hill best
it could, at top speed of about twenty five to
thirty miles an hour. The bigfoot I saw was medium
brown in color. I could see all of him as
he was very close. His eyes were more of a
glowing red color, and he had shaggy long hair. He
was standing on the right side of my truck, just
off the road where you might see a warning sign
like a curve or heel up ahead. I really didn't
pay much attention until I was about fifty feet away
from him, and then he stepped up near the yellow
fog line, still on my right side. I have no
idea what he was planning to do. I couldn't tell
if he was standing there waiting to cross the road
or what. Then I finally got close enough to see
what he was, and it was too late. I tried
as best as I could, but I couldn't get the
truck to go any faster. I was petrified when I
passed the creature. I remember looking at his head movement
and thinking it was just like mine. He was looking
at me just as much as I was looking at him.
There was no movement, like any hostile actions or jumping.
We were just looking at each other. His eyes seemed
to be a reddish color. I don't know if the
red color was from the eyes or what. This thing
was about eight feet tall, maybe more, maybe less. At
that point, honestly, I didn't care. He had long but
shaggy hair, and it hung down about three to four
inches in various places all over his body. I'm not
sure if it was a male or a female. Didn't
see any boobs, but at the time I didn't see
a penis either. But for some reason, I've always called
it a hem. I still get goosebumps thinking about it.
This is the first time I've ever told my story
to anyone except to my wife. A hunter is stalked
by a bigfoot in North Dakota nineteen sixty two. Well,
coming back from a hunting trip outside of Minno, North
Dakota in April of nineteen sixty two, a friend and
I were followed when we were returning back to the
trailer park where we lived. After walking quite a distance
out of the prairie, I had the distinct feeling that
something or someone was following us. Eventually I became so
uncomfortable that I looked over my shoulder, and at a
distance of about fifty yards away, I saw what I
thought was a great ape. Our eyes met, and this
thing stood up on its hind legs when it saw
that I saw it. All I had on me was
a single shot twenty two rifles, so shooting it was
out of the question. I was able to get a
pretty good look at this thing. It had long, black shape,
oily looking hair, and I could see that it had
hair all over its body as it stood up off
of all fours onto its hind legs. There was no
hair on its face, above its nose or the palms
of its hands, and this thing had huge, long arms.
I can't overemphasize enough the malevolent look this thing had
on its face and seemed to be trying to convey
to me. As soon as this thing started moving in
our direction, we both ran as fast as we could
and never looked back. When visualizing some far flung regions
of the world that could harbor a hereto unknown species
of terrifying monkey monster, Danville, New Hampshire is not the
first place that springs to mind yet for two weeks.
In September two thousand and one, this small New England
hamlet was the scene of several scary encounters with a
giant baboon like beast that has since become known as
the devil Monkey of Danville. Tales of this terrifying primeate
have been around since the nineteen thirties, and sporadic reports
seemed to pepper diverse locations along with both East and
West coasts of the United States and Canada. But what
is the zoological significance of such sightings and do their
gelata like proportions indicate a baboon like escapee or perhaps
even that a small feral population of these aggressive primates
has become established in parts of the United States and Canada.
What's in a name? Coined by Mark A. Hall also
known as giant monkey and nalusaphala monstrous measurements bipedal and quadrupedal,
resembling a large baboon or dog three to eight feet tall,
covered in light brown to black hair, sometimes has a
patch of white fur extending from its neck to its belly.
Twenty ears, baboon like or dog like muzzle, large canines
and strong chest, short fore legs with claws, muscular, almost
kangaroo like hind legs, large feet, has a long bushy
tail that sometimes hairless. Terrifying tracks three toad tracks toes
appear to be rounded twelve to fifteen inches in length.
Beastly behaviors, very aggressive to humans and dogs. Walks bipedally
and quadrupedally can leap up to twenty feet in a
single bound. Very vocal, possibly territorial, emitting a range of barks, cries,
and screams often heard echoing through the Appalachian Mountain regions
and that bear a resemblance to territorial calls of other
known primate species. Strong jaws, long canines, and razor sharp claws,
which it uses to bring down its prey, often attacking
its torso, face and other vulnerable areas. Deadly diet said
to kill livestock, pets, and small game. Hairy habitat British
Columbia Appalachian Mountain region of the United States. Devil monkey
sidings are also reported in Kentucky, New Mexico, Utah, and
Colorado Scary sightings nineteen thirties. Kentucky is reputed to have
experienced a rash of devil monkey sidings as far back
as the nineteen thirties. Nineteen thirty four, several eye witnesses
describe seeing a mysterious beast that could leap across fields
with lightning speed. In South Petersburg, Tennessee, nineteen fifty nine,
the Boyd family were driving through the mountains near their
home in Saltville, Virginia, when their vehicle was attacked by
a monkey like creature that rushed at the car, grabbing
at it with its front paws. The Boyd's daughter, Pauline,
described the terrifying attacker, which left three clawlike scratches on
their car, saying it had light taffy colored hair with
a white blaze down its neck and underbelly. It stood
on two large, well muscled back legs and had shorter
front legs and arms. She went on to tell another
similar story that occurred shortly after in the same region,
saying several days after this incident, two nurses from the
Saltville area were driving home from work one morning when
they were attacked by an unknown creature who ripped the
convertible top from their car. Nineteen seventy three, a devil
monkey was thought to be responsible for the slaughter of
several cattle in Aubany, Kentucky. Nineteen seventy nine, several devil
monkey encounters occurred in rural Georgia, with one female eyewitness
describing it as quote the ugliest thing I've ever seen.
It had a tail like a beaver's, but it's bushy
and a face like a dog end a quote, nineteen
ninety seven. On June twenty sixth, nineteen ninety seven, Debbie
Cross saw a three to four foot hairy animal with
long arms and a short tail outside her rural home
near Duncansville, Ohio. It walked on its knuckles as it
moved away from her. Two thousand and one, nine locals
reported seeing a strange primate, while others reported hearing its
eerie cries. Near Danville, New Hampshire. A local fire chief
who spotted the ape like animal in the pre dawn
hours one night and said Timbers, said, quote, it jumped
out of the trees as soon as it hit the ground.
He took a giant leap and went back where it
came from. The first thought I had was, that's nothing
that's native to hear. End quote. He described the creature
as being like a primate with a reddish brown coat,
razor sharp claws, and a dog like muzzle. Over the
following two weeks, parents kept their children at home after sunset.
After several search parties failed to find the animal, the
sighting stopped and the creature was not seen again. It
was generally assumed that this was an escaped animal that
had likely been recovered by its owner. Two thousand and six,
an anonymous witness claimed that he returned to his Chicago
home with his family one evening to find a devil
like creature violently attacking his six year old labrador dog,
and stated that the animal was an unusual combination of
a monkey, wolf, and devil, with long fangs and a
monkey like tail and extremely bright glowing eyes. The man
who snapped a photo of the beast, which apparently was
fright by the flash bulb of the camera, sprang to
its hind legs and ran escaping through the open door
behind them. He also claimed that numerous pets had gone
missing from the neighborhood leading up to the siding that
another individual had seen an identical beast hanging from a
local tree by its tail. Beastly evidence Derrider roadkill in
nineteen ninety six, Barbara Mullins was driving down a hot
and dusty asphalt Louisiana highway called Highway twelve when she
noticed a strange creature dead on the side of the road.
Pulling over to get a closer look at the animal,
she was astonished to see a recently deceased animal about
the size of an adult Saint Bernard and covered in
thick brown hair. Curiously, she noticed that what she had
first taken to be a dog possessed ape like feet
that extended from its bulky body. It had small, pointed
ears and a very Semian like appearance. Luckily, she was
equipped with a camera and she took a picture of
the bizarre beast. On September fifth, the de Quincy News
published a story about barbars strek range find, speculating that
it could be a chupocabra or even a devil monkey.
The Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries later examined the photos,
stating that they believed that it was a deceased small
breed of domestic dog called a Pomeranian. Many were quick
to point out the size differentiation between this breed and
a Saint Bernard. Although the photo is seemingly lacking anything
apart from the patche clumps of grass surrounding the animal,
which could provide a reliable object for scale, which sadly
does nothing to aid us in ascertaining the size of
this alleged cryptid carcass beastly theories. The term napes, an
abbreviation of North American apes, was first coined by the
cryptozoologist Lorne Coleman in nineteen sixty two, inspired by a
curious track he discovered and cast in a dry creek
bed of Stephens Creek near Decatur, Illinois. This assumed American
ape is tail us and thought to belong to a
yet unclassified genus that may include cryptids like the Florida
skunk ape and the yetti. However, the descriptions of the
devil monkey, with its baboon like muzzle and tail, do
not match the ape like physiology of the nape or
any known ape species, and it's far too large to
be any known species of monkey. Therapithecus oswalde. Could an
extant species related to Therapithecus oswalde be roaming the Appalachian Mountains,
it seems unlikely, besides the ancient date of their demise,
likely brought about by human conflict and predation. This fossil gulated.
Despite its widespread distribution in Southern East and North Africa, Spain, Italy,
and India, is not known to have existed in the
New World feral monkey colonies. Many people believe that the
Danville devil monkey in particular, was an escape primate, most
likely a baboon. Certainly, the numerous public encounters with this
beast followed by its sudden disappearance, seem indicative of an
escaped pet running a mug for a few weeks before
being quietly recovered by its owner. Several eye witnesses remain
unwavering in their convictions that the animal that they encounter
does not correspond with any known primate species. There have
been examples of escape monkeys forming feral colonies in parts
of the US. Indeed, Florida, the unofficial invasive species capital
of the world, provides more extreme examples of this phenomenon,
with its established colonies of squirrel monkeys, reeseius monkeys, and
even troops of Capucha monkeys, which have become endemic in
the state within the last few decades. Who's to say
whether small groups or other species like baboons or even
the odd mandrel might have escaped and are perhaps a
living undetected in other parts of the United States. Killer kangaroos.
It has been suggested that escaped kangaroos could be responsible
for the devil monkey encounters, and that there may be
feral populations living in several US states. Kangaroos are great
escape artists, their powerful hind legs and feet giving them
the ability to jump high or to cover twenty five
feet in a single leap. Phantom kangaroo who have been
reported quite regularly in the United States since the nineteen thirties,
and the steady stream of escapees could certainly explain several
purported devil monkey encounters and
