Pennsylvania Fly Fisherman Recalls BIGFOOT Experience in Potter County

A Pennsylvania fly fisherman recalls a Bigfoot experience that he had while camping in Potter County along the Sinnemahoning Creek. He repressed the event for many years.

"This took place back in the early 90s. My buddy would work until 9 to 10 p.m. on a Friday, get home, pack his fly fishing gear and essentials, and then rack for four or five hours. He would then drive an hour to my place and we'd load all the camping gear into his truck and take off before first light. This particular trip took three hours to get to the Sinnemahoning Creek in Potter County, Pennsylvania.

We got there early, set up camp, grabbed a brew and sandwich, and finished until dark. We turned in early because of the long day. I woke and could see moonlight peek through the hemlock canopy as I tried to decide how badly I had to go to relieve myself. I decided to get up when I heard something very heavy approaching the tent. I thought, "Great, a freaking bear." It came within four or five feet of the tent and I could see a partial shadow silhouette against the tent its breath was a deep guttural grunt and it just stood there for almost a minute. I almost crapped myself thinking it was going to attack the tent so I quietly unzip the sleeping bag while trying to will the boogeyman away. As if by magic it left heavy footfalls trailing off into the night. I decided I didn't have to go after all and started to drift off to sleep when I realized it walked away on two legs.

I instantly knew what it was and lay awake processing everything. I finally fell back to sleep after convincing myself it wouldn't return.

In the morning I was careful not to mention anything to my buddy as I inspected the campsite for footprints. Nothing, zip, nada. The hard-packed earth and surrounding stones prevented any footprints. The weird thing is I kind of blocked out this event for years before acknowledging it to my buddy after he saw a Bigfoot in Lycoming County. Why I buried that event in my memory beats the hell out of me. For fear of ridicule? I don't know, but I can't help but wonder how many other folks have done the same." L

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 'Not Deer' was first described as a phenomenon from Appalachia. But there have been similar sightings reported in other areas over recent years. So what is the 'Not Deer?' Is it just a freak of nature or is it a legitimate cryptid? Some say it manifests as a victim of Zombie Deer Syndrome or a wasting disease. That may be true in some instances. But generally, witnesses report an animal with the body of a deer, but characteristics that parallel either human behavior & physical attributes. There are also a few instances where these creatures are said to shapeshift into other animals. So, sit back & listen to the presentation, & decide for yourself.

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