A North Georgia man discovered a bucket full of squash was taken from his porch. Since then he has been receiving 'gifts' of dead mice and other items from the local Bigfoot for over a decade.
I received the following account:
"This first started happening in 2013. The family friend (we’ll call him Joe to preserve his anonymity) lives on the outskirts of a small town in North Georgia, about five miles away from the nearest gas station. There’s quite a bit of forested area but most of it is private property. There’s a house right across the street from his, so he’s not totally isolated.
Anyway, one evening, Joe got done picking squash from his garden. He had put them in a bucket that he left on the porch and forgot about overnight. The next day, he went looking for the squash and realized that he left it outside. He went out onto the porch and the bucket was gone. He didn’t really think too much of it. He figured a raccoon had taken it. He did find it strange however that whatever it was had taken the whole bucket and that none of the squash had been spilled out. It was like something had carried it away, taking care to not spill any of it, as opposed to rummaging through it like a raccoon would.
A few days later, Joe came home from work to find a dead mouse on his doorstep wrapped in a leaf and some grass. He looked at it for a moment in curiosity. This mouse had been meticulously placed inside the leaf along with the grasses almost like a sandwich. He then began to think that maybe someone was playing a prank on him or maybe there was some witch or somebody in the woods trying to put a curse on him.
Nothing else happened for about a year until one night, Joe was sitting in his living room watching television, when he saw something out of the corner of his eye through the window, around his garden. He looked out and saw a figure hunched over and looking through his squash plants. He then went outside to confront whoever or whatever this thing was.
When he got outside, he was surprised by just how little noise the creature was making. Like it was trying to hide. He took a step on his porch, causing the wood to creak and the creature looked up at him. He couldn’t get a good look at its face, but there was a distinctive eye shine caused by it looking up towards his porch lights. It stood up on two legs and he got a good look at its body. It was very large and bulky. He estimated it must have been at least seven feet tall. It was black and hairy and manlike in its form. As soon as it saw him, it bolted away and into the woods with lightning speed, still barely making a sound. There was no doubt in his mind that it was a Bigfoot and Joe understandably had trouble falling asleep that night.
As he lay awake, he began to wonder if the creature he had just seen had any connection to the mouse he had received at his doorstep about a year ago. And he definitely believed that thing could carry off that bucket of squash.
The next morning, Joe decided to try a little bit of an experiment. He took some turkey and rolled it up a leaf and some grass, much like the mouse had been and set it on his picnic table out on the lawn and left for work. When he got back that evening, the turkey, leaves, and grass were gone. He studied the area around the picnic table but was unable to find anything. Not even the grass had been disturbed as far as he could tell.
Then, he approached his door, and on his doorstep was another mouse, this time decapitated and instead of leaves or grass, there was a small pile of berries next to it. He hasn’t seen the creature again but he believes that it’s the one he’s been swapping gifts with. It continues to the present day, where he got a whole deer antler just four months ago. He’s set up trail cameras before to try to see if he can capture the thing on video leaving presents but he never catches anything. He’s still trying and I’ll keep you posted if he catches anything. He told me he feels like it’s always watching him and will intentionally not show up when he puts up the cameras, but I don’t know if it’s intelligent enough to understand what a trail camera is and that it takes pictures."
