Three adult friends are walking at night in Pleasant Hills, PA when they hear strange 'feeding' noises coming from a local park. That is when they observe an 8-foot-tall Bigfoot.
"The story takes place in Pleasant Hills, Pennsylvania (Allegheny County, south of Pittsburgh). I grew up there and had a friend who lived about a mile and a half away from me. We didn't drive back then due to poor decision making so we had to walk everywhere. I'd walk down past the local borough building, cut up through the woods, and come out on the other side. It was a shortcut to bypass the huge hills we'd have to walk up. The beginning of the hill started in Pleasant Kingdom, a playground for kids that sits back off the road in the woods with tennis courts, basketball, and typical ground stuff. We used to sled ride there because the hill was pretty massive on the backside. That hill led to the opening of our shortcut.
We were walking to my house one night and we were almost clear of the woods. It was pitch black but we could see the playground lights at the bottom about 100 yards away when we heard a disgusting sound to our right. It sounded like something was eating something else and making crazy wild animal noises but with a human undertone. I could hear the tree limbs shaking but could not see anything. We bolted the last 100 yards downhill to the bottom and scratched our heads. We had no idea what it could have been but thought it might have been a bear. We weren't into Bigfoot back then so it never crossed our minds. The only light was coming from the parking lot lights. It was me and my friends Steve and Jose. Jose was good at fist-fighting, and we were basically afraid of nothing especially when we were together.
We were just about to turn the corner to walk the path behind the borough building to my street. For whatever reason we all looked over our shoulders. Steve said, "WTF is that?" We all saw it walk across the pavilion upright from left to right and hide behind a tree. It was about 100 yards approximately and up the hill in the dark, but the light from the parking lot illuminated it enough that we could all see a tall gray-colored animal/man walk across the pavilion. Its head was level with a pavilion roof, easily 8 feet tall. We stood and watched, and then it simply peeked out from behind the tree as if to get its eyes on all of us. At that moment we all turned and ran as fast as we could to my house.
We stopped short and looked at each other and asked why are we running. It's like it telepathically jumped into all of our minds and said, "Boo," and made 38-year-old men turn and run like babies without even knowing what we had just seen. None of us knew what it was but it bothered us for weeks until one day Steve said I think I know what we saw and said, "Bigfoot." It clicked immediately. I knew right there that I wasn't crazy and that we had definitely seen and heard a Sasquatch.
I would tell people my family, and friends, and nobody believed us. But it affected me enough that I would join the Pennsylvania Bigfoot Society I would go on investigations to interview witnesses of reports, take pictures, and walk the sites. I have a lot of pictures still from some of the interviews I was on.
I came to realize that Pleasant Hills is built on abandoned coal mines and to find out that they travel the mines to stay out of sight. Pleasant Hills is not a rural area. There are houses and neighborhoods everywhere. But there are large woods between the three towns that separate each other. This is the main reason people had a hard time believing my story. I know what we saw. Steve and I are both still very much into Sasquatch. Tyler"
