North Georgia Enthusiast Recalls His BIGFOOT EXPERIENCES

A Phantoms & Monsters Radio listener and Bigfoot enthusiast recalls two unusual experiences that he had while camping in north Georgia. Feel free to forward your experiences.

I received the following account:

"Hey, Lon. I've listened to you since Sean, Butch and you teamed up on Arcane Radio. I would say I’m a Bigfoot enthusiast who has read a ton of books on the topic. I have seen every documentary, listened to many Sasquatch podcasts and backpacked into what I consider a very active area. Haven’t seen a creature but I had 2 unbelievable experiences in 2017.

The first experience happened at a campground. I was awakened around 4 a.m. by howling coyotes. About 3 seconds after the coyotes started howling, there was an erupting roar that sounded like it was coming from all sides and completely drowned out the coyotes. It was so loud and powerful that I could feel the vibrations coming up through the ground through my sleeping bag; clearly nothing I’ve ever heard before. I’ve heard others describe hearing a roaring sound from these creatures coupled with the fact that I have studied this mystery for so long I knew right away that it had to be Bigfoot. This roar was so loud that the creature couldn’t have been more than a hundred yards from me which is quite strange in itself because one side of the campground is a pretty busy road, but nonetheless the area in general of this campground is surrounded by forest.

The second experience happened 30 days later. It was not far from where the first experience occurred. This time I stayed at a second campground that was much more secluded and deeper in the forest It was around 6 p.m., and I and other campers were standing together talking about the hiking we had done earlier that day. Other people were out and about getting campfires started. Also there was a campground host who walked around introducing himself with a clipboard making sure people had paid and joined in the conversation. It was at this time that all of a sudden roughly 50 yd uphill on a ridge overlooking the campground a tree came crashing down. Moments after the tree hit the ground I and all the others standing around talking heard what can only be described as a loud guttural grunt. This is the kind of grunt you would hear from a silverback gorilla. All of us were startled, and asked each other what the heck fell that tree and made that deep guttural grunt sound. One of the other campers even mentioned it was probably Bigfoot. The other campers laughed but I didn’t think it was too funny. This is because if one of those creatures was nearby, we might face a very dangerous situation. Thankfully nothing happened after that but here is where the story gets really weird.

At the back of this campground is a dirt road. This road can be used for hiking or traveling during the hunting season. One of my favorite things to do when backpacking or camping is wake up early, get a fire started, and have a delicious hot cup of coffee. I got up that morning around 6am, got my fire started and fresh coffee made. As I’m sipping coffee out of the dirt road at the back of the campground comes this white SUV completely blacked out. It has a huge sticker of a “Patty” silhouette stuck to the back window. Me being the believer in the existence of these creatures, I have a few similar stickers on my back window So I took what I saw as a friendly visit from a fellow Bigfoot enthusiast. I casually walked up and said hello and saw if there was anything we could discuss regarding creature activity in the area.

As I approached the SUV driver rolled his window down about halfway and I immediately noticed something odd. First there were two guys in the SUV and they were both dressed in full tact gear. They had 2 AR-15’s on a gun rack at the back of the interior with both gentlemen wearing military style boots, pistols at the ankles, black beanies & sunglasses. I mean these guys were completely decked out like law enforcement officer would be, but there was no badge, just complete tact dress from head to toe. I then playfully asked “are you guys looking for Bigfoot?” The driver of the SUV then said to me “why do you ask?” I replied “I see the Bigfoot sticker at the back of your vehicle, I have a couple of those on the back window of my car also.” The reply I received is very strange, the driver just looked at me without saying anything and then the passenger guy in a very stuttering kind of manner said “it’s just a practical joke sticker from my girlfriend.” After that response the driver then stepped on the gas and out of the campground they went.

I just find it odd that there is a perfectly healthy tree being pushed over by a gorilla like grunt. Then these two tact/possible military guys show up the next morning out of nowhere driving a blacked out SUV with an oversized Sasquatch sticker on the back window. Very odd in my opinion. And that’s it!" DM

Welcome to Phantoms & Monsters 'Personal Reports' - cryptid & unexplained accounts directly from the archives of Phantoms & Monsters, and the Phantoms & Monster Fortean Research team. Narrated by Lon Strickler. Join us in the chat, discuss, and ask me questions about the accounts.

Featured in this edition:

The Hat Man is a phenomenon in which witnesses report seeing a shadow-like entity dressed in a trench coat and a hat of some kind, usually a fedora.

The Hat Man acts like a ghost, and is usually visible standing up. Many people report "bumping into" this entity, which does absolutely nothing for seconds or even minutes, then moves around a bit and vanishes.

Unlike a ghost, who might have visible facial features, the Hat Man is a shadow with no identifiable features. This entity has substance and many paranormal researchers believe it studies and observes.

So, I ask. HAVE YOU SEEN 'THE HAT MAN?'

In this episode, I will describe the reports and incidents in detail and answer all questions from the chat room.
