The eyewitness, an ex-US Army intelligence vet, describes his sighting of a Bigfoot near his home in Bath, New York. He mentions how it seemed to 'glide' as it paced back and forth.
The following account was forwarded to me:
“On or about mid-November 2012 I had a very unusual experience that at first kept me very mixed up but it always stayed in my mind until I started doing research. It was about 2:00 to 3:00 AM in the morning. I woke to go outside and have a smoke. The area of the town of Bath, New York is semi-rugged with hundreds of huge foothills. There's a vast amount of forests, lakes, ponds, wildlife, and several state parks. Much of the land is posted, 'No Hunting.' The hills are super steep, so climbing or hiking is difficult.
We rented the full basement apartment of a home. Our entryway was at the back of the home semi-underground. There was a deck over our entryway. I'm an ex-US Army Intel special-tasking veteran who served in Central America and the Middle East. I'm telling you this because I'm a trained observer and weigh out everything I see. I am super aware of my surroundings.
That morning I went outside and lit up a cigarette. It was dark that night and cool. Deer would constantly wander through and many times I would try not to spook them. As I lit up my smoke, some movement caught my attention about 140 yards directly in front of me. To the east, a cinnamon-brownish-colored figure was pacing back and forth over and over. On each side of this clearcut, there are a couple of homes. This thing was at the far end of the next tree line pacing back and forth, moving towards the last home and back again, moving approximately north to south then back the other way. It was moving erratically, pacing back and forth like it was confused or undecided if it wanted to go closer to the home. As I looked at first I thought it was a drunk person. But in all the years I lived there I've never seen anyone out there.
As I watched what really caught my attention was it looked like it was floating across the ground as there was absolutely no head bob at all. The ground rose between myself and this entity and went back down on its side, so I could not see the lower legs well. It kept on pacing back and forth for about 3 minutes at the position. I was under the deck in the shadows. I was not observed by this creature. I'm not afraid of too much but for some reason, the hair stood off up on the back of my neck and I got into what I call 'combat mode.' I wanted to bellow out at this entity but something said not to do that.
After around 3 to 4 minutes of this pacing, I turned my head for a second and it was gone. I got a fearful sense of where this thing went and had a feeling it may try to flank me around the two homes, so I went into the house, woke up my wife, and said, 'There's something weird out there!' I didn't think Bigfoot right away because it's not the Patty-type I have seen in the Patterson/Gimlin film. I always thought that they were in the Northwest, not here in New York State. It was, I believe, 6 to 7 ft tall, had a slimmer build, wide on top, and slimmer than Patty, more like a fine-tuned athlete than a bodybuilder with long arms and an awfully long shaggy head of hair that stood out to me weird. The only reason I saw it was because there was a light on in that home that lit it up in some of the area.
Upon seeing it, after the fact, I realized there was a hedge running parallel to it, and a large ravine behind that ran into the woods. Across from this property was a road with a couple of mobile homes, then a very steep wooded foothill, and a small mountain. For years this baffled me and I could not get it out of my mind until I found six reports entirely around my area in November of 2019. I heard two huge body-shaking screams from the ridgeline very close to my new home in Bath, close to the same area. It was very loud, and not any animal I know of here. I know now what I saw and I know what I heard." A
