Three young friends hung out at a regular spot along the Little Pipe Creek in Indiana during the summer. That is until they had an encounter with a supposed Bigfoot that chased them away.
I received the following account:
“This happened when I was 15 years old back in 1979. It doesn't matter how long ago an incident like this occurs because once it does, the trauma burns into your brain. I was at Little Pipe Creek in the small town of Flora, Indiana where I grew up. It was just a mile or so from where the creek empties into the Wabash River. My friends and I hung out there every day during the summer.
It was late afternoon and we had just arrived at our spot. As we approached the creek I looked up at a tree about 100 feet away and there is a figure in it. It had long brown hair and it was swinging from limb to limb, but it was straight up and down, about 6 feet tall. I'm there with my 2 other friends. When I noticed the figure I say, "What is that?" It's not a monkey but it's swinging like a monkey, but it's not a human either. Back then we didn't know what Bigfoot was and this sighting lasted a good 5 minutes.
We're sitting there watching it. I had no fear in me at all. Then, all of a sudden, I just had the most fear I've ever felt in my life and I told my friends, "We gotta go! We have to go right now!" I think the Bigfoot or whatever, somehow put that sense of fear in me. The sensation was so sudden and strong.
So we take off up the nearby hill and head home. I'm going faster than my friends. I'm up in the weeds and I'm scared and then my friend said, "Go! Go! Go! A man is chasing us! A man is chasing us!" I thought he was joking. I looked around at his face and I've never seen such a look of fear on his face before.
We lived about half a mile away and when we got home, I go, "A guy was chasing us?" He goes, "Well, it looked like a man but it was big and hairy."
We were scared to return to the spot, but a few weeks later we gathered our courage and walked back to the creek. When we got there, it looked like a bomb had gone off! Several of the small and medium-sized trees were uprooted and tossed into the creek. But the first thing we noticed as we approached was the unmistakable odor of decay and death.
We looked at the destruction as we stood several yards away from the creek. That is when we noticed the source of the stench. There were at least 3 deer carcasses and several small dead animals strewn throughout the site.
We were getting ready to leave after only a few minutes. Then I started to again feel a strong and sudden urge to run from the area. That's when we heard a horrific scream coming from the surrounding woods. We instinctively ran toward home. That was the last time that I ever went back to the location.
Several years later, after I had moved away, I ran into one of my friends who had experienced the incident with me. He stayed in Flora, got married, and built a house. He told me that the 'big hairy man' had been seen and reported along Little Pipe Creek by other witnesses.
Was it a Bigfoot? I believe so.” S
