New Bigfoot Sighting Near Whitehall

A new bigfoot encounter report has come out of Whitehall, New York. Whitehall is a historic place for bigfoot sightings.

WHITEHALL — A driver witnessed a 6- to 6 ½-foot black creature off of Route 4 Tuesday night at around 10:10 p.m., investigator Paul Bartholomew said, which coincides with historic trends in the area.

Often phrased as Bigfoot, the mythical creature has been spotted here and there, although the recent spotting was only ½ mile away from the September 2006 sighting. Most sightings, Bartholomew said, are in the late summer and early fall.

“This is actually a very typical type of sighting,” Bartholomew explained. “It’s called a road crossing sighting.”

He said the witness, who preferred not to be named because of possible ridicule, contacted him within 18 hours and they returned to the location to do castings on the marks. The witness described the animal as a large, black outline with two legs, wide shoulders and a little to no neck. It was stepping over a guardrail.

Bigfoot, or also named sasquatch, has been iconic in Whitehall. In July, the village of Whitehall announced Bigfoot as its official animal, the Times Union reported.
