There is little doubt that the state of Kentucky is one of the strangest places in the country. The “dark and bloody ground” of the Native Americans has given birth to accounts of UFO’s, flying creatures, Lizard Men and even werewolves. But one monster stands out above the rest - Bigfoot! There are so many sightings of these hairy giants in the Bluegrass State that it has come to be ranked as one of the most active for Bigfoot sightings east of the Mississippi River!

We're not exactly sure what all the stories the Finding Bigfoot team will be investigating tonight, but we do know that the town hall meeting was held in Renfro Valley.

Here are some stories that were told at the meeting:

About sixty people came to the town meeting. Even me. I’m not convinced we have swarms of Squatches roaming around here. But Mason is intrigued by such possibilities. He’s usually pretty rational, except when it comes to ghosts, aliens and yes, Yeti. So, like a supportive wife, I tagged along.

We didn’t have our own stories to tell although years ago, as a reporter in Owensboro, another journalist and I camped out on the roof of someone’s home, watching for a Sasquatch that had been spotted nearby. Squatches are nocturnal, so the best time to catch a peek is at night. But he didn’t show. And I wasn’t curious enough to return another night in hopes he might pass by.

The twenty people who recounted their close calls with Bigfoot agreed that he was a shaggy cross between a man and gorilla, ranged from seven to nine feet tall and weighed about 500 pounds, with glowing red eyes. He’s able to leap five foot fences and outrun hunting dogs. He doesn’t really walk; he glides like he’s on cross country skis. He could also use a can of deodorant to mask his “wet dog” or “rotten egg” smell.

One “ear” witness said Bigfoot bellowed at him, like an angry bull. Others described eerie howling, screaming and roaring. Pretty disturbing sounds. Especially coming from something you can’t identify. The TV guys try to communicate with Bigfoot by rapping on a tree or other object. Supposedly that’s how Sasquatches talk to each other. But they haven’t answered the Bigfoot hunters yet.

Cliff, from the TV show, doesn’t think Squatches are dangerous, despite their size and the ferocious noises they make. But a guard at a secluded Hazard strip mine isn’t so sure. He told about a Squatch banging on the door of his security shack one rainy night, howling to get in. Bigfoot eventually left, with the rain erasing any footprints proving he was ever there.

The Squatch either has an evil streak or a mean one, because a Louisville boy said he was at Taylorsville Lake one time when a Squatch threw rocks at people. Bigfoot could have been practicing for a baseball game – or maybe he just likes using people as targets.

Cliff says Squatches know more about us than we know about them. That’s because they watch us. We’re easier to see since we aren’t blending with the scenery. Still, they take advantage of what they learn from their surveillance. Cliff says there have been reports of Squatches raiding a freezer on an outdoor porch and making off with deer meat plus a country ham hanging from the ceiling.

There’s more proof that they’re evolving. One person swore he heard hammering near his home and when he went to investigate, he found a Squatch using makeshift tools to dig. That was decades ago. They’re probably working with power tools by now.

The alleged "Bigfoot tooth" photo above is from the Kentucky Bigfoot Research Group. In 2006, a man claimed to have found it near an ancient burial ground (click here to read full story):

Longtime bigfoot witness, M. F. holds what he believes to be an actual tooth from one of the creatures that he found at the foot of an ancient Cherokee burial mound in Hebbardsville, Ky. This alleged bigfoot tooth resembles a human canine, only much larger. Throughout the 19th and early parts of the 20th centuries many many sources cite the discovery of giant human-like skeletal remains in the Bluegrass state, the vast majority having been found buried in Native American Indian burial grounds or mounds. The witness' mother related to him before her death that she had personally witnissed the excavation of one such grave In Beals, Ky., between Spottsville and Reed, back in the 1920's. It was discovered during the process of building a bridge over a large creek. The bones were measured and found to be nearly 12 ft. tall! The giants remains passed into private ownership and their whereabouts went unrecorded.

Below is a local news broadcast from Lexington, Kentucky (LEX 18) special about the Bluegrass Bigfoot. One Bigfoot Hunter says the truth about Bigfoot is near, and soon the world is going to witness the most important discovery of all time.
