I grew up in Shelby county, a small town called Waldron. During the summer of 1987, I had a couple of encounters with Bigfoot.
I was walking the railroad tracks with 3 friends, heading towards Shelbyville, around 11pm. We got about a quarter mile out and heard something walking through the brush at the bottom of the embankment. We'd stop, it would stop. We'd speed up, it would speed up. We got to the railroad bridge and crossed it, figuring that whatever it was would be stopped by the creek. We stopped to decide whether to go back or continue. Since whatever was following us was on the other side of the creek, we decided to continue. Right after we started walking, got maybe 30 yards, and we hear splashing. It was coming across the creek and it was moving fast. We were so stunned, we just stood there staring back toward the bridge. About half way between us and the bridge, this thing came running up the embankment, hurdled the tracks, landed at the bottom of the embankment on the other side, ran through the brush, jumped a fence, and ran through a cow pasture until it was out of sight. It was at least 7 foot tall, covered with hair, and ran like the wind. We ran all the way back home.
A couple weeks after that encounter, we decided to go watch the stars. There's a concrete bridge right outside of town that is perfect for that, no lights, no late night traffic. Just real nice and peaceful. We sat there gazing at the stars for about an hour when we heard a low grunt coming from under the bridge. We thought it was just a cow that might have gotten loose, so didn't think anything of it. But then we heard something walking in the water, coming toward the bridge. We're around 25 feet above the water. As it approaches, we hear a few grunts under the bridge, and then a louder grunt from the creek. Another grunt and then a growl from under the bridge, and then whatever was in the water walked back downstream. About 5 minutes later, we hear splashing under the bridge. Trying not to make any noise, we started walking back home. We were just about off the bridge and I kicked a rock, the noise seemed extremely loud in the middle of the night. It got the attention of whatever was splashing around below us. We hear some growling and could tell it was coming up the hill. We took off running. The nearest house was about 200 yards away and a streetlight was about 150 yards on the opposite side of the road. We get to the house and stop, and watch towards the bridge to see if it was still following. We could make out a shadow moving against the treeline beside the road. As it approached the light, it went off. When the light came back on, the shadow was quickly moving down a side street. Again, at least 7 foot tall. I only saw it as a shadow, so I can't really say it was hairy, but, it did seem to be shaggy.
We tried telling a few people, but of course they didn't believe us.
I just moved to Shelby county from Madison county. I'd love to explore an try an find Bigfoot.
Love your encountering Bigfoot experience.
@@merica17If this is true, YOU got yourself one hell of a burger deterrent. This is a good thing.
That was beautifully written and I felt like I was right there with u...I believe u
I'm an arrowhead hunter from Southern Indiana and spend a lot of time in the woods, fields and creeks. I don't wanna say I saw one but we don't have creatures as big as what I saw, and the noise it made. Very frightening
I won't be going back to Cave River Valley anymore! I live outside of Madison Indiana and I've seen one here as a 14 year old kid in 1984. My friend and I who saw it while we were creeking that day, must of been only 50 feet away from us. His nostrils was smelling for our scent but not must of deemed us as threats cause it finished crossing the creek and carried on its way. We booked it back to Kent. We ran on water that day!
Just yesterday, someone was telling me about two sightings at Big Oaks Wildlife Refuge. These sightings are everywhere, and I’m glad people feel comfortable telling them here! My sighting was at Ogilville and I’ll certainly never forget it!
@@AdventureswithRoger you will never forget. It stays with you for life that's for sure! I don't go into the woods at night. When I'm in the woods in the daytime which is rare, I carry my gun as an adult now just Incase one is aggressive and comes at me. I'm a little spooked now as I watched the video. I've been to several of those places in the video. I went and got my gun by my bedside tonight. LoL. I live in Kent now as an adult and that creek where the sighting happened is just a few doors down from me. Extremely unlikely I'll ever see one again but what an experience it was being that close to one.
I don’t know about you, but I hope that sometime, in my lifetime, one will be caught, observed by scientists and DNA analyzed. We both know we had legitimate sightings, but that would give me closure.
@@ericmarsh7770 I live close to you just north a couple roads on chicken run. We got a clan out here seasonally. They don't seem to like when we're out at nite having bonfires but we don't do it all the time so they can get over it.
I'm a gunsmith and shoot n test guns alot so they know I'm armed most times and a former reconnaissance veteran I'm not a very fearful guy I'll stand my ground and engage with great violence. Like any good recon man would.
But im feeling a more harmonious vibe since our initial meeting. An understanding of sorts. Live n let live!
I could have killed the big guy once, I had the drop on him and was close enough to blow his head off. But his face, was so human and ive seen that look before
That I'm fu(ked look of fear . Idk I just told it go and live in the woods and we'll leave each other alone and we'll live together in peace. Mess with my family and I'll kill you.
Idk it's been peaceful since. I see one every once in a while but it's rare but no problems. Hoping it stays that way
@@AdventureswithRoger Did you feel threatened or scared or surprised? I wd love to see one. I definitely believe they’re living in the USA and other countries, too.
I love these videos and even more awesome is the fact that a lot of people will then tell their own stories in the comments which just adds to the incredible content so thank you guys for sharing your own encounters too!! I really enjoy hearing about them all!! 👍💯❤️👏👏
Yeah D..Just need fire going outdoor with coffee and share stories..
I agree. I listen to the video while reading comments.
note to self! "She luvs a good bigfoot story!"
I certainly pass these along to others. I grew up in Indiana but have been away 20 years. I have seen more of Indiana through Roger than I did my 50 years living in Indiana!
I live in Hanover and about 8 years ago a couple buddies and me were fishing late at night on a private pond out side of Madison that was tucked back in the woods, heard a lot of strange sounds that none of us (all 3 of which grew up in this area and camp,fish,and hunt all the time) have never heard followed by what sounded like very large branches being broken off of trees, then at the other end of the pond we heard the familiar kerplunk sound that is made when you throw a really heavy rock into a body of water. That put us on edge more than the other noises but being guys in their early to mid 20s we didn't want to admit we were scared then as we sat on the bank a rock about the size of a golf ball hit the ground next to me and rolled in-between us as if thrown from the wood line, that did it for us and we pack up and left in a hurry. Idk what it was but for years my two buddies became convinced that I somehow was behind it and just messing with them. Still freaked about it tbh cause I know it wasn't me and the way we were all sitting at the time I had view of them so i know they didn't do it either. Haven't been back to that pond after dark since.
I don’t blame you! I’ve heard several Bigfoot stories around the Madison area.
I live in Greenwood Indiana which is Johnson county..about 10 or so years ago my Mom, my wife and I was coming back from Belle Terra casino boat in southern Indiana along the Ohio river real close to where Ohio, Indiana and Kentucky kind of meet, anyway we were driving home around 3:30-4:00 in the morning and as I was rounding a corner something huge comes crashing out of the woods on my left hand side and crossed the hi way and up a very steep embankment..I had to slam on my brakes to keep from hitting it..it was definitely running on two legs, upright and was covered in a dark brown hair the looked dirty as hell and it was very fast but we all three saw it and was not a Bear or Deer..I won’t say it was a Bigfoot but it sure as hell wasn’t a regular animal crossing the road!
I know exactly where you’re talking about, northeast of Vevay! There and southwest of that location have had Bigfoot sightings. There are limestone caves all over the countryside too, a great habitat! Charlestown has had a bunch, you practically can’t talk about Charlestown State Park without someone bringing up a Bigfoot sighting story!
Please don't tell me there are sasquatch in my new home town of Vevay!! 🤣🤣
“The important thing is to spray your house, car and clothes with Bigfoot repellent.” 😂
@AdventureswithRoger I just hope I can out pedal them if I ever have an encounter! 😁
Unlike what people on cable tv tell us, Bigfoot sightings are incredibly rare. If you see one once in a lifetime, that would be more than most people.
My grand parents lived in Paoli, IN. As kids we were in the woods a lot with 5 dogs and 2 horses that acted more like large dogs. We did not see or hear any activity, however the horses and dogs would get spooked from time. We never went out after dark as you could not see the person next to you after you turned off the flashlight. Listening to your stories brought me back to my younger days!
I truly love this area! I haven’t published it as a segment, but last year I filmed the little park at Paoli, along the creek. I remember stopping there with my Mother and brother, to stretch our legs, before moving on. I looked at the swings and playground equipment I never used, there was never time. Now that I have time, I’m too old! Just a very sentimental experience.
Beautiful lakes
Q
There's nighttime and then there's Country Dark , The Bortle Dark-Sky Scale has a scale 1-9 that shows the level of darkness around the world . Some of the history about why humans fear the night is very interesting , mostly it was because of the predation of humans by the different man-eaters , which still happens more than people think.
Hello all, I live in Richmond, Indiana which puts me less than 3 miles West of the Indiana-Ohio line. I lived here from 1964 to 1967 and mover back from Colorado 15 years ago. I enjoy looking at Cemeteries and surrounding woods. My 3rd Great Grandfather David Hoover founded Richmond in 1806 and members of our family have lived here every since. I have heard things that I could not tell you what it was. But have never seen anything.
Are you near Union City?
The forests and hills of Southern Indiana are a solid choice for a Bigfoot to hide.
yes, i just found amazing rock formations in the little woods preserve on USI property, so i can imagine if there are such unknown amazing rock forms and caves and hollows just right next to city where thousands of people passby daily,. so i can imagine there are hundreds of these hiding places of rock hollows and ravines and caves that people have probably not ever seen before, that i would guess many places way back in the forests that sasquatch could hide and not be bothered.
I love all the Bigfoot stories from Indiana because I’m from Indiana thank you Roger I hope you got more in the works .
Lifelong Hoosier, here! I’m putting together a movie length feature, about southern Indianas silver mine legend, hope to wrap up in the next few weeks. Lots of fascinating legends and stories in this neck of the woods!
The Bigfoot video has brought more similar stories to the table. My cousin told me that just weeks ago, a heavy duty chicken coop was ripped apart, just across from the woods where I’d seen something!
I live close to the M Monroe State forest I’m also in the BFRO group for Indiana I will subscribe to your channel and keep an eye out for your new content thank you .
I’ve read many many reports from your neck of the woods!
I’m from martinsville area. Born in Indy but played in area. Live in Texas now so thanks for story.
In 1973 as a teenager I along with three others were sitting on an old bridge support at dusk south of the Monroe Reservoir dam fishing. We saw, heard and experienced "something" on the other side of the bank that roared and silenced a barking hound dog with a yelp. Whatever it was, ran up the bank. We were scared to move but too scared to stay, we got out of there fast. We convinced ourselves it must have been a bear running upright. I'm really enjoying your videos and these walks down memory lane.
Lots of odd stories in southern Indiana, I’ve covered 21 so far!
My folks grew up in Lawrence County, my Grandpa fished at Lake Monroe all the time. Wish I could go back and fish with him.
@@AdventureswithRoger I grew up in the 70's and 80's in Martinsville Indiana and We had some weird stuff for sure.
Would love to hear more!
@@user-fn3vr4mq8k Like Stipp cemetery? Been there, done that too.
That was me, drunk at Paynetown on Jack Daniels. lol
Love these stories, thank you for sharing .. Kentucky native here
My grandfather had a encounter in 1937 in Spencer County IN. He was with his 2 dogs coon hunting they took off he said it would stay just out of his kerosene light and it had red eye shine and screamed like a woman possessed with the devil the monster as he called it was very tall and followed him back to the truck throwing tree limbs at him he only had a single barrel shotgun 410.The dogs were waiting for him at the truck wanting back in there cages.That was his last night time hunting he would ever do.
He told me this story one night after I had asked him if he had ever been scared by anything out in the woods. I asked my other cousins if he ever told them this story and they all said no.I was very close to my grandfather lived next door to him for 7 years and then with him for 3 years before moving to Florida at 18.
My grandfather was a preacher and I could tell he didn't really like telling me about the encounter but I could tell he just wanted to get it off his consciousnes.
We talked about a lot of things from his child hood and he even told me about a black panther he had seen when he was a young kid.
I don't believe in bigfoot, but I do believe my grandfather and I can't explain what he saw but the tree limbs always stuck in my mind,what in hell can thow a dam tree limb at you.
I don't think it was another person out there because it was such a rural area and my grandfather did have a gun and he was raised as a country boy.He also mentioned a strong smell but what really scared him the most was how it pushed him stalked him for more than half of a mile back to his truck.
I don't think whatever it was, was trying to hurt him it just wanted him and the dogs gone.Whats also kind of strange is grandfather never liked scary movies or no kind of documentary about bigfoot.
I feel privileged to be the only grandson that he told about this encounter.
I told my cousin last year about it while we were deer hunting on his lease and it just blew him away. Like me he's a non believer but couldn't get over the tree limbs being tossed and he also knew how honest grandfather was.
He been gone since 2001 but his story lives on.
I had an encounter many decades ago, it made me a believer, though I’m still not certain what I saw. All I know is that many good, reputable people have also had sightings, and had no personal gain from telling their stories. In fact, they were more likely to be ridiculed than anything. The older generation, like your Grandfather, where bravery and manliness were the expected norm, would rarely tell a story about anything that scared them.
My personal belief is that what people are seeing is some kind of primate, be it known or just rare and “undiscovered”. There have been so many sightings reported to the DNR, that there’s a push to call them “North American apes”.
The truth is out there, I hope to see it in my lifetime.
@@AdventureswithRoger I only call myself a non believer because I have never had a encounter but with that being said I know what my grandfather saw was a full blown bigfoot he just didn't have the bigfoot name to identify it so he just keep calling it a monster when he told me about the encounter. Thanks for the reply and keep up the good work.
Man his dogs left him and were waiting back at the truck for him!? 😂😂🤦🏾♂️
@@ymgsspeedy366 Dog’s way of saying, “Stick a fork in us, we’re done!” When I was pulling this documentary together, there were many stories of dogs cowering in a corner, whimpering, and making a mess on the floor, as they were so scared. I’ve always thought that dogs have better sense than we do, and if they think it’s time to leave, it’s time to leave!
@@AdventureswithRoger I agree 100% lol
THIS IS THE BEST DOCUMENTARY ON CZcams. LOVE IT!!
All we need are trail camera pic's.
You should do more of these Bigfoot encounters, I’ve listened to this video a few times, interesting and well done 😁👍
I first heard of Sasquatch in 1998.
But had no idea that these individuals are as populous as all these sitings suggest. These stories bring to mind an experience I had at Girl Scout camp in Poland, Indiana, in the mid 1960’s when I was about 10 years old. We slept in tents on the wooden platforms and would hang around our camp units much of the time doing outdoor activities along with hikes. I recall hearing the knock knock knock off in the distance wondering what it was. The camp was remote - not much traffic, lots of farms, etc. The only man around was the camp custodian who lived on the premises - occasionally would see him driving around in his truck. I recall thinking at the time when I heard the knock knock knock off in the distance that it was Mr _ , the custodian, doing something off in the woods. Now with what I know I suspect it was a Sasquatch…
I was raised on a small farm in rural south western Indiana during the 70's. I had 2 separate encounters with 2 different Bigfeet- about 4 years apart. Without a doubt, He is in this area. I'd be happy to share my encounters with anyone interested.
I’d be interested! What were each like?
@@AdventureswithRoger Thanks for your interest ! I have talked about my encounters on other bigfoot and cryptoid channels. I'm glad we have the technology now that allows me to share my story of my encounters with so many. So, here goes -
I was raised on a small, rural farm 3 miles north of the small town of Tennyson in Warrick county. It's roughly 20-25 miles north east of Evansville, Indiana. My 1st encounter was in 1975, which would make me 12 at the time. Dad bought a new mobile home a year or so before, and set it up on some land my grandpa had given him. Dad quickly built some barns and sheds, and we had cows,beef and chickens. And multiple gardens. And we helped my grandpa, who lived beside us, with his farm. A family built a house just north of us, and I quickly became friends with the two boys that moved there. One day, the 3 of us decided to explore the creek that ran through the fields and woods- just east of our houses. Their large German Shepherd dog went with us. It was a warm summer day. We walked on a dirt road that lead to the creek. Once there, the road followed the creek. It was a very wooded area, with trees and brush on both sides of it. We walked the road for awhile, and decided to walk back. We were just slowly walking and talking. Their dog, Tinker, was just a little ways in front of us. All of a sudden, Tinker stopped, and just staired at the heavy brush to our left. The creek was to our right. We stopped, wondering why Tinker had stopped. He stood there, just looking at the brush. Then, he ran towards the brush- and jumped completely off the ground. Just as he got to the brush, a very long, reddish brown arm came out of the brush. It hit the large dog and he flew back several feet, hitting the ground. The large arm disappeared back into the brush. Tinker took off, running back to their house, which was maybe a 1/4 Mile, maybe a little less, West of us. We all 3 quickly followed him. The arm was very long. Covered in long, matted reddish brown fur. And much longer than a human arm. We did not smell anything before this happened, as is reported in alot of sightings. We were very close to the arm when it came out and threw the dog. I'm sure we would have just walked right past the creature if Tinker hadn't sensed it was in the brush.
My next encounter happened on the same creek, about a 1/2 a mile south of the 1st encounter. Around 4-5 years later. It was a very cold winter day. There was a heavy snow on the ground. My best friend from school was staying a few days with me. We had been out hiking for several hours. I was armed with a 12 guage shotgun and a 22 automatic handgun. My friend was carrying my 22 lever action rifle (After my 1st encounter, I always had a gun or 2 with me anytime I hiked the fields and woods around our place). We were walking back to my house on the rock road that went past our property. We were just north of my place and could see it. The creek was to our east- probably 100 yards or so. As we walked, we noticed a very large animal in the field, just on the other side of the creek. It was coal black and standing on all 4's. It was not moving at all. My 1st thought was maybe it was a cow. But I knew that no cows were in that field. I told my friend to shoot beside it with my 22 rifle he was carrying so maybe it would move and we could figure out what it was. So he took aim beside it and fired. The creature stood up on its back legs and walked, very quickly, into the nearby woods and disappeared from our sight. It didn't run. I've never seen any animal walk that fast. I would estimate it's height to be around 8 foot. And like I said earlier, coal black. With a very thick build. We found 100's of tracks in the snow in the field beside us. We didn't cross the creek to investigate the field the creature was standing in. We didn't want to wade through the ice cold water. And it was getting close to getting dark. The tracks were probably 12 inches long. The best way I can describe them was a circle in back with 4 toed. 3 toes and a larger toe on the outside. My Mom and Dad had just laughed off my 1st encounter, so I dug up a track and took it home to show them. I kept it in our freezer for awhile. Mom finally threw it out. She said it was probably just a person in a suit trying to scare us, and not to shoot at it again if I ever seen it anymore. I'm not for sure if she really believed that or not. I can't say for sure what it was. But I'm sure it wasn't a person in a suit.
Anyway, that is my 2 encounters. I hunted and hiked the woods and fields all around our property for several years. But I only seen the creatures two times. And only found tracks that one time. I've always thought that maybe the black one was hunting for food and was in the open for that reason. The fields had been snow covered for several days. Maybe it was so hungry it got careless. I will admit, I did actively hunt for the creature. I wanted to get one to prove it did exist and that I had seen one. Hardly anyone I told about my sightings believed me back then. I'm glad I do have witnesses to both encounters. At least they have always confirmed what I seen. I would like to add- both sighting were within less than 1/2 a mile from each other, on the creek.
Well, that is my 2 encounters. Thanks again for your interest. If you have any questions, feel free to ask.
@@shadowwolf2524 Thank-you for sharing your encounters! I believe you. My encounter was very similar to yours, in that I wasn’t pursued or threatened. What I saw was blackish to gray. A common feature to other sightings I’ve read about: near a creek, stream, other running water. A theory is that they travel along the waterways as both a source of water, but also to find smaller animals that come for a drink, or even fish. In Bartholomew and Brown Counties, the sightings appeared in the same time period, along the river, as if it was taking it west. When I’d get lost, I always looked for running water, knowing it would go somewhere: I’ve conjectured that maybe they thought like that.
For decades after my sighting, I tried to make sense out of it. “Maybe I saw a bear with mange or was so scared I thought I saw a Bigfoot?” For sure, black bears have been crossing the Ohio River to Indiana, from Kentucky, for a long while. People have caught them on trail cams for the last 10 years, over here in Floyd county. One was even hit by a car and ran off. Another sighting at Utica. They aren’t very aggressive as a rule, try to stay away from humans. Their claws are relatively short and sometimes don’t show up in tracks, including the smallest toe, making an imprint that looks like a four toed animal. If it were running in snow, a small black bear footprint could look up to 12 inches long, especially if it melted just a little in the sun. But for both of us, the faces didn’t look like a bear. I recall a flat, ugly face, but I only saw it long enough for me to run.
Like you, I hope someone captures one in my lifetime, for undeniable proof. One guy told me, as soon as his son graduates, he’s retiring and looking for Bigfoot full time, over near Crosley Fish and Wildlife area. They’ve had many sightings over there and he just wants the truth. I believe it will happen, with so many looking for solid proof.
Base camp chris loves these stories and he has a channel and email he will tell the story over a fire while camping write him subscribe to his channel
@@shadowwolf2524 😬 how did you ever leave your house again? Believe you. Don’t ever want to see one…...
I'll never forget the time 17 years ago when our family went camping in northern California. Our mother went to a lake surrounded by forest to wash, when we all heard her primal screaming and the sound of something 'grunting' very deeply. We raced to where she was to find that she was being mauled/grabbed by something approximating a bear/human hybrid. It was very, very tall and broad and looked extremely bizarre. We were all confused but thankfully mom broke free and the 'beast' went back into the safety/protection/invisibility of the woods. Needless to add that none of us were game enough to follow the 'thing'. Mom was extremely shaken, but soon settled back to her normal self. The thing never bothered us again, but we still think we encountered the mythical 'Bigfoot'
I would’ve been out of there! Can’t believe you stayed! 😧
That’s crazy, did you report it
lol
Roger, you never cease to amaze and entertain with your awesome content! Will be watching more of your work, truly appreciate your efforts. 🙏🍻
Always a pleasure to share what I find! 🙂
What a fantastic documentary,I love these kind were people tell of their incredible encounters with bigfoot or other unknown creatures.
✨I agree , we can learn much through other peoples experiences .
There’s a whole world of beings living outside our doors , side by side with us . They are peaceful nature beings and they are curious of us too!
There are Sasquatch people that live in tribal groups and cryptid communities all over the world!
For the most part they mind their own lives and live a peaceful existence.
These beings are highly intelligent and they interact with each other.
The Sasquatch are the forest people !
These cryptids are all capable of being inter dimensional beings and can disappear when they wish.
They are amazingly created to live simply without disruption to our ecosystems. They seem to respect one another and that’s why we rarely see any of them . They communicate through telepathy. I have never run into any dangerous ones.
The Sasquatch have family groups . They are highly intelligent ancient people. Who love their children .
Their existence has been documented for thousands of years !
🐕🦺😊👍🕊✨
I love in Delaware county Indiana on the missinewa river and the white river,Wabash river are within 10 to 15 miles from my house . Never seen a BF but have seen large black 🐈⬛ cats and mountain lions that stalk a huge expanse of wilderness that runs along the missinewa river for a good 20-30 miles . It's definitely a stretch of wilderness that something large and unknown could live .
I saw a very large mountain lion, northwest of New Albany, carrying a deer carcass in its mouth, in broad daylight! I know they have a huge range, often over 600 miles, so one cat can have sightings in many counties. But I know for a fact I saw one, no debate about it!
My sister in law swears she saw a black panther near Columbus.
Very well done,I really enjoyed it! No making silly calls or tree knocking ...Refreshing hearing just encounters.Hope you make more just like it.
I wanted to pull together stories from reputable people, instead of sensationalism. There are too many people making “did you hear that” kind of videos, that don’t really help the research, or potential uncovering of undeniable proof. If someone finds a new species, or proves it’s something known, I am ok with either one.
Check out Western NY Sasquatch Research. She has a lot of amazing evidence. Yes, they have a language and they are not monsters!
Very well produced, great scenery, excellent narration. Great to know I don't have to go far if I want the chance to see a Bigfoot. I'm glad most of the people in these stories had the emotional intelligence not to attempt to shoot the Bigfoot.
Emotional intelligence or incredible fear, suspending the ability to act. Credible witnesses say they never want another encounter.
I won't be going to sleep after this😳🤯😳😆😂😂 here in the deep swamp in lower middle Georgia, we have issues with these here, too. Too scared to go outside at night anymore.
My father grew up on princess Lakes and hunted around Camp Atterbury. He would tell me stories of something very large running through the woods at night behind the house smacking into trees and said it sounded like a train coming through the woods. Coil spring traps with long screw anchors pulled out of the ground and bent around trees. Even claims to have had an encounter with a friend when they were young that they ran for their lives back to the house. He said it was very large very dark and made a noise somewhat to that of a tornado siren. Definitely scared me as a kid and he always told me with a straight face. He never really showed me any signs of deception. He swears by it.
I believe it. There’s many “salt of the earth”, respectable people that have reported these unusual sightings.
Around the time i was in high school me and two other people saw one late at night in the Morgan Monroe Forrest about 97 98 I believe it was
There's a few that live on the eel river right outside of clay city Indiana. Was trying to catch a catfish. The sun went down and heard branches breaking and soon after the deepest growl I've ever heard. He made his opinion of my presence known and I made my opinion known. I immediately left. There's an occasional drifter on the Wabash river near terre haute Indiana from what I've heard. Good job I'll subscribe you do a good job keep it up.
Thank-you for your story! There are so many Indiana incidents that have not been recorded, and it’s just good to know I’m not the only one!
I often camp on the Wabash near the Mt. Vernon bridge
I live in cory, about a mile from the eel river in the country. Have heard tree knocks.
@@davidbartley9335 they are out there. Plenty of room for them to thrive. I'm considering doing some scouting maybe set some sound recorders in a tree and see if I can catch some vocalizations.
I've lived in Southern Indiana my whole life in Clark County and have been interested in Bigfoot since I was 7 years old. Thanks for this upload. It was fun seeing some of the same places I have been on here. Excellent sound and music on this production, as well. Well done.
Thank-you Sean! I had a legit encounter when I was around 11 years old, at Ogilville. After that, I did all kinds of library research before the internet was a thing, it was an obsession. Hopefully this film will lead to proof someday!
Both Clark State Forest and Crosley struck me as creepy. I didn’t have any Clark reports at the time, but used brief footage from Clark to recreate where the young man was squirrel hunting. It’s super brief, it’s where the camera looks left to right, as if he’s looking for Bigfoot. I’ve since heard some stories about Clark, would not doubt it.
I lived in Clark County, Indiana all my life until I was about 20 years old. I was married and divorced young and while married one of my husband high school friends use to visit us a lot. We lived about a mile from Marysville and he lived on Michigan Rd. At that time and this was 1973/74 Clapp Rd and Michigan Rd was gravel. Marysville Rd was paved until you got to the intersection of Clapp Rd. Anyway, there were a number of fields and some very thick woods on his way going home, this was a very rural area also. He had left our house about 11:00 p.m., and he later told us that something big had run in front of him on Marysville Rd, just after he'd gone past Clapp Rd, and down into this wooded hollow and he'd hit it and had thought it was a deer. He had stopped his car and had opened his door to get out, and he shined his flashlight where it was laying on the road, only it wasn't a deer, at first he thought it was a person, but then it started getting up and he realized it had fur all over it. He said he sat there frozen at first and then the thing stood completely up and he said he was sure it was at least 8 feet tall at the very least. He closed his door and went racing off and went home. When he came back the next morning there was nothing, and he couldn't find anything. There was however and we saw this for ourselves a big dent in his bumper where there hadn't been anything before. When he was telling us about this he was shaking like a leaf and could barely light his cigarette and thereafter he always left to go home while it was still light out. He swore this was completely true. I've heard strange sounds from across the fields before and I could not ever figure what I was hearing, we just knew it was very loud and scary sounding. I don't know if it was a bigfoot that my husbands friend hit and saw or if that was what we heard across the fields or not. But I would not be too surprised if there weren't other stories out there about seeing or hearing something strange in Clark County. Since then unfortunately this friend has since passed away from cancer. He was only 48 when he passed away.
Thank you for sharing that story! I’d heard of sightings just east of Clark, and believe they are related. I also get a sense that there have been more sightings than reports, the written ones are just the tip of the iceberg.
Oh wow, be careful. Might be an animal instead of mutated wild human.
My Sister and I along with my nephew decided to go camping at Dean’s Lake the first week that they opened on a Monday we were going to stay until Friday because we wanted to avoid large crowds and the weather was cool, we are from Clark County and we often went camping there and enjoyed our time out there but she was going through chemotherapy and had lost her long beautiful hair and wanted to be able to enjoy her time without having to cover her head and having people stare at her so we picked a spot that was isolated away from the few other campers that were there. So we got our tent set up and everything in order to be able to cook our dinner and to celebrate the beginning of our vacation we cooked up some steaks and baked potatoes and made S’mores for dessert and we were sitting around the fire after the sun went down and all of a sudden we heard the deepest guttural growl and from a distance we could hear some trees breaking as if a tornado was coming through the forest and the loudest footsteps I have ever heard and it was quickly getting closer, I have lived on farms and know the sounds of horses running on hard packed dirt and dear getting flushed out of their hiding spots but these footsteps were so loud and so hard you could tell whatever it was it was massive and mad and approaching us quickly, it was down in a small ravine behind our camp sight and getting closer by the second. It happened so fast but it felt like time slowed down but from the first scream and the first couple of footsteps my sister and I just looked at each other and grabbed our pistols and my nephew and jumped in our car and turned the headlights on and the footsteps stopped dead in their tracks, my sister was weak and I remember having to cock her 380 for her, that detail sticks in my mind I don’t know why but anyway we stayed awake in the car until sunup and packed up our tent and gear and left as soon as we could, this was the late spring of 94’. We never saw it but we didn’t need to or want to but without a doubt we knew exactly what it was.
I'm surprised there aren't more sightings from the 70s and 80s. I live in Martin/Lawrence County area, you could go backroading on a Saturday night and maybe see one car all night
There's been a couple of things that happened while I went camping at Morgan Monroe State Park. One winter, we got a warm snap that came through and for one night in early February. Warm enough to go camping. Being in my early twenties at the time. My friends would do things spontaneous because indiana could be pretty boring for kids our age.
That night when we got to the camp site, which is where the Boy Scouts Camp area is. We just opened up our vans in a semi-circle and started chilling. After about a half hour, we heard something that sounded like a hound dog in distress. Like it had got caught in a snare or something. He howled for about twenty minutes off and on. Being the dog guy I am, I wanted to help that dog, but my friends were like, "No way." I seriously thought that was a hound in trouble. Later that night, I had another thing happen. I went to the edge of camp to take a leak. It was pretty dark on the treeline, and you couldn't really see back too far once the firelight had dwindled at a distance. I was looking around, and in a short distance, I could see four sets of eyes close together. They were huge and had a blue tint to them. I played it off like they were four owls with big eyes sitting on a branch. My friend came up as I was finishing ( I guess he had the same idea), and I showed him the eyes. When he saw them, he immediately started back tracking, as did I back to the fire. It all happened within a minute, maybe less. But I remember those huge eyes not too far off and that blue tint. 💙 It's kind of the color of the top of that blue heart. Illumenesent almost if that makes sense.
The next morning, really early I went to that same spot to do the exact same. But there was no tree there for those owls to have been perched. Oh, there were trees, of course, but nowhere near where I had seen these eyes.
Later , I heard of a couple of encounters in that same area. And that hound dog we had heard sounded a lot like the Ohio howl.
I believe there’s many things going on, deep in the southern Indiana woods. Too many stories, unexplained sounds, and direct encounters, that cannot be ignored.
This was great! I was born and raised in Indianapolis And greatly appreciate your channel
Thank-you, Alexis!
I'm am from and live in Indianapolis as well. Cool to see someone else interested in bigfoot lol
I lived in Beech Grove for about 2 years....loved it there!!!
I grew up in Harrison county and heard many of stories from the old timers about Bigfoot. Also spent a lot of time at patoka lake in Indiana and there is a lot of history of Bigfoot in that area as well
There were so many stories that I couldn’t pack them all into this one. Lots of similarities, no matter who tells them. And it’s not a bunch of mentally ill people telling crazy stories: it’s good, respectable people that have no gain by telling what they saw.
You have a good voice for stories. You should read more Bigfoot encounters, I bet you will get more subs.thank you
Thanks Josie! I’m wrapping up a huge segment about a lost silver mine, but am considering doing one on all the Indiana cryptids: surprisingly, a lot of stories!
And I just sub
Welcome to the adventure! 🙂
Great job Roger! I’m part of the Indiana Bigfoot Research Organization, and I’ve had a lot of encounters and one actual sighting. My wife and I made a video about Crosley a few years ago, and a tree fell over, (or pushed), somewhere close to us.
Thanks, Jim! Crosley genuinely creeped me out, even though I didn’t experience a thing while I was there. Power of expectation or being watched, who knows.
My sighting was decades ago at Ogilville, from maybe 10 feet away. Incredibly terrifying for a young man! It made me a believer!
My name is Jim. I had 2 separate encounters back in the 70's. I was raised on a small farm here in south western Indiana. I'd be happy to share my encounters with you if you are interested and if it would help your research.
@@shadowwolf2524 Would love to read your account!
Glad to stumble on this, living in Southern Indiana. Very cool to find others talking about the area 👀
@@jjmccloud I saw something at Ogilville, back in the 1970’s, and I always wondered if other people in Indiana saw the same thing. Making this documentary has given me a lot of peace, as so many have provided their similar accounts.
I’ve heard Bigfoot stories since about 1975 in the southern Indiana counties of Perry, Harrison, Crawford, Orange. And many of these stories were told / corroborated by very trustworthy individuals-Individuals who have lived in rural areas all of their lives and have no reasons to be spooked by strange noises in the dark.
As others have mentioned, several have been located around Patoka lake.
Would you mind telling me about a few of the sightings you know of in Crawford? I am the leading researcher in the area and would love to add more data.
I'm looking forward to your next video.
I was 12 in 1986. My friend invited me to go on a summer retreat in WVA with his church so I did. I had terrible homesickness. I finally got better at the end of the week. Our leader(s) had us pack up from a established area. It had to be used every year, by them or others I'm not sure. We walked farther into the forrest. That afternoon us kids started setting up our tents when a rock came whizzing in. This is fun! I threw it back. Then more and more until it was like a pelting rain. We left everything and ran to a place on the hill that was established somewhat with a firepit and logs for sitting. The leaders made a huge fire and tried calming everyone. They were scared we were scared. We laid on the ground and maybe slept. The next day we went back to our tents and gear. There was a hole in the top of my tent and the fishing rod was broken. We left and that memory disappeared into adulthood until recently.
We often suppress a painful or frightening memory as a defense mechanism. Then one day, a trigger brings it back. Several people have told me they watched the Bigfoot video, and recalled some odd / unexplained experiences from their childhood. You’re definitely not alone.
Fantastic video! Thanks for sharing and can’t wait for the next one!
Thank-you! I’m hoping that lots of hikers and hunters will feel brave enough to tell some stories in the comments!
Being Native, from Saskatchewan Canada...juss gonna say, sometimes, they do make an appearance..we have an awesome valley....
Here in southern Indiana, we have literally hundreds of reports, all over the lower portion of the state. I tried to collect a few stories from well-known places, where people hike and hunt. It might be boring to some, that don’t live in this area, but I wanted to start a conversation. Many people won’t talk about their encounter, they don’t want people to call them “crazy”. But there are so many sightings that cannot be ignored, and I wanted to give people confidence to talk about it.
Many years ago, I had an encounter in southern Indiana. No one can tell me that I didn’t see it.
I live in Johnson County on 7 acres and in 2018 a roar was recorded on our Ring at 2:00 am. Something triggered our Ring but nothing could be seen. The roar sounded just like the one on Cave Valley!
I lived in Johnson County for 30 years, and heard stories about Camp Atterbury, Trafalgar and Brown County, for most of my life.
@@AdventureswithRoger My wife and I have a horse farm on Stones crossing road right before Mullinex road heading West. My family founded Greenwood in 1823. I am a lifetime member of the Club of No Return as Steve Isdahl calls it. My encounter occurred the 1st week of November 1983 in the Canadian wilderness and I will never forget it! You do great work!
I graduated from Center Grove High School in fact! That area has grown up so much, especially along 135. I was nearly in culture shock, last time I visited!
Pacific Northwest / Canadian Bigfoots are reportedly monstrously huge and bad tempered. President Teddy Roosevelt retold a story of one savagely killing a man. Supposedly, other modern stories as well.
@@AdventureswithRoger Yes, in a few years it will be all the way to Morgantown and is to Bargersville now. Center Grove H. S. Is just East of us. My wife graduated from Center Grove also. It’s a small world.
Lots of interesting Greenwood history, and your ancestors had a big part in it. When I lived on Main Street, I spoke to the farmer, with the field next to Community Church of Greenwood. He said his family had the original deed, on lamb skin, signed by (I think he said) Andrew Jackson. Really interesting stuff.
I haven’t been to the Greenwood Public Library in decades, but have wondered if there was any proof / pictures of where a young Harland Sanders lived as a boy. Greenwood has never made a big deal out of that, but it’s on the internet.
I had a sighting in neighboring Preble County,OH in 2004. Thanks for this video.
My pleasure, Jeff. Something is definitely out there: too many eyewitness seeing similar things
Very good info. Have tent camped in Brown County, Yellowwood and Morgan Monroe.
Thank-you! I tried to pull together relevant stories and film where events happened. I’m hoping that people will watch this and open up about their experiences!
Awesome!! Top-notch Roger! Thanks for the hard work.
Thank-you, Dejae! This one was a monster: two months! But, I was able to hit a lot of places that people know.
Trevlac, Indiana is an interesting, beautiful and very remote area. I was introduced to the area and some of it's few residents by a formerly reformed hippie from the 60's . We had traveled there from the Laughery Valley area of Southeast Indiana to visit some of his friends and family living in the area "commune" in the early 1980's. Interesting Fact: it is NOT a coincidence that Trevlac IS Calvert (as in Calvert Whiskey) spelled backwards......the tall green-faced giants we saw did not have brown to brownish-gray fur. Instead they were covered with sparkling white hairs but it was definitely the odor that gave proof -- his friends had captured the world 's largest "'Indiana Green Skunks"....I didn't fly up onto anything and Weasel didn't have to fly up and get me down from anywhere ! Try as we might we never did find out where brother bigfoot hung out. Gold and garnets is all we found.
Bigfoot stories are so intriguing to us. The Bigfoot Expedition has made several trips to Kentucky.
When I was a kid, I honestly thought I saw one in my Grandparents woods (Ogilville): that sent me running to the house, in a hurry! I studied everything I could get my hands on after that, and wondered if I’d ever meet up with one again.
This is the longest documentary I’ve done for CZcams, to date, and it took several months to assemble. Just so much information to digest, and places I wanted to film to make it authentic. I also had to do some special effects I’d never done before. But, glad to get it out!
We appreciate your hard work.
Im in hazard Kentucky
Fountain County near small town Independence I saw a 10 foot sasquatch, also watched it go invisible right before my eyes. These creatures are elusive because they have abilities not yet understood.
I saw one video that appeared to show the disappearing act, that you’re speaking of, but it could have been made with simple special effects. I keep hoping someone will catch undeniable proof, and show the world we’re not crazy to believe!
@@AdventureswithRoger could you link me that footage of a bigfoot disappearing please?
What would you call undeniable proof?
I didn’t copy the link after I saw it, but will try to find it again.
What’s my definition of “undeniable proof of Bigfoot”? A Bigfoot body, dead or alive, where scientists can analyze DNA, bone structures, and other factors, to determine that it’s conclusively different than anything else. I’m not suggesting anyone kill one, don’t get me wrong, but if it’s a living organism, it’s going to eventually die.
@@AdventureswithRoger I somewhat agree. As far as footage goes todd standings is the best so far imo. Still so many questions though.
What if they are smart enough to hide/burry their dead? And who's to say "they" haven't already studied a body? You think they would honestly announce it if they did? Dr myera mayor found s species of chimp eDNA on expedition bigfoot and its never been mention again or published anywhere?! There's an active cover up surrounding this subject, I doubt there will ever be s body publicly announced.
@@AdventureswithRoger oh, and thank you very much. I would love to see that clip. I know what it's like, you must watch so many like me! Lol. There's also one a hunter captured from his blind, if a beautiful chestnut coloured BF clearly coming out of some cliffs and il be damned if I could find it anywhere now!
Awesome video Roger, always enjoy the longer videos. Good to see you blowing up buddy, great job!
Thanks James! Really surprised by this video
I live on the Michigan /Indiana border. I really like your videos. ❤️
Thank-you, Nancy!
I have been binge watching your videos! I grew up in Southern Indiana and now live in rural Clinton County Indiana. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. If you are researching Miami Indians, I am pretty sure there were some close by.
I was in your neck of the woods, earlier this year, doing a segment about Indians. I learned a great deal I didn’t know!

We have bigfoot here in east central Indiana! Seen a juvenile back in 1985 in our backyard scratching at the leftovers that was cooked on the brick grill. It had red eyes and stood about 6'. My brother in law shot his pistol at it, but missed because it was dark when this all happened. It also tried to get in our trailer 3times! It would jiggle the back doorknob to our back porch at night for about 15mins. Then give up. Good thing we kept it locked! This happened close to Mt. Summit State Park. We lived the next county road over off of road 36. There was also another bigfoot report on the BFO website that happened less than a mile from our house. So yes, they're even in east central Indiana! We have heard moans and herd a tree pushed over just a few summer's ago! The moan was herd in Mt. Summit while walking the trails at night. And the tree being pushed over happened in Hillsboro reservation late at night walking the bike trail.
My sighting was around 1979, at Ogilville. Also not more than 6 foot tall. I too think it was a juvenile as it was not what I would consider huge. It also wasn’t a bulky-looking costume like some hoaxes I’ve seen on film. Almost wiry muscular like a very large chimpanzee. Face was ugly and had big eyes. It looked at me from above a tree, and cocked its head, like a dog does when it’s sizing you up. I ran like the wind to get out of there!
Could it not pull a door off
My theory: it could’ve broken the door down and killed everyone inside. But, the intent was to intimidate.
Well done, Roger! Great research and it was awesome to actually see the sites that you were talking about.
Thanks! Did the best I could with no actual Bigfoot footage. I’m hoping that people will see the places, hear stories, and feel comfortable telling their own. 🙂
Love your style of video btw. Spent half my life nwi but moved back to Texas about 9 years ago haven't been able to go home for a visit since. I miss that place. I miss all the green lush forests and hills etc. Nice to be able to see these places visually....
Thanks, Amber! I fell in love with Southern Indiana, at an early age, and I’m still exploring! It’s always a pleasure, to hear that these films bring back good memories!
I live in crown point 😊 I moved here 16 years ago it's gotten much better and the housing prices are sky rocketing....it snowed yesterday and today I'm sure you don't miss that..
@@soxplayer3907 I once toured historic Crown Point with a guy that grew up there. “This is the courthouse. This is the old jail. This is where my great uncle was gunned down by the mafia.” I wish CZcams was around and I’d had some way to film it. He was a wealth of information.
I live in Indiana and im just seeing this i love videos about these subjects
My Uncle lived in the Morgan Monroe State forest. Or just on the outskirts. He was hunting in his woods and came across a Bigfoot, it scared him really bad. He encountered this thing a couple of times, it once did some damage to his truck. He was on Monster Quest, about it, he was given a lie detector test, and past. He is no longer with us now, but I remember his stories about it.
That’s a high report area over there, much like Yellow Wood.
Your Videos are class , excellent help for my journey in recovery , cant get enough , take care , be safe , from Glasgow in Scotland 👍🏴
Hope you get to feeling better soon! 🙂
@@AdventureswithRoger thankyou very much , aslong as im listening to your stories , it wont be long in me getting better such a great help 😃👍🏴
My dad once seen monster in Gibson County, it left scratches and indentions on his car. My grandma first told me the story and how scared he was.
Excellent information!!! SO interesting. Thank you for sharing.
My pleasure, Tom!
Indiana native here. Everyone i know has had an experience or knows someone who has.
I like your narration style, it's very captivating.
This was a GREAT video! We’ve been watching many of your other videos after this one, and had to subscribe! My husband is from Southern Indiana, and had a terrifying Bigfoot experience near Yankeetown when he was in high school. So this brought him back a lot of memories- and now he wants to move back!!
Southern Indiana is great for so many reasons! I regularly get messages from people that grew up here, saying the videos bring back childhood memories. It makes me feel good to help people reminisce, especially if they can’t come back, due to work or health reasons. At the same time, I like encouraging the younger people to see the obscure, hidden places and take that selfie! 🙂
I live in Eureka Indiana about 8-10 miles from Yankeetown. And the area between us is some of the roughest country known anywhere. Large Swamps triple canopy forest underground mines and caves. I’ve heard stories but haven’t seen anything myself, BUT I’m not going in there to see.
I went to some pretty creepy places to show where the reports happened. I did not want to stay long at night!
Stay away from them. They are demonic. Stay away
@@AdventureswithRoger i can take you to place in Hoosier NF. Deep in the woods are several bigfoot shelters, i have pictures too. This is 2 1/2 miles south of Story.
Great one again showcasin my home state! Thanks for pointing out some great spots I’ve never been💫
Lots and lots of cool places in southern Indiana! 🙂
Nice of you to collect & share these stories...
What motivated me was my own encounter when I was a kid. I’d heard rumors of other Indiana sightings, but had never seen a movie about ones in Indiana, and decided to pull together what stories were out there. I found numerous credible accounts, even confirmation that others had seen something in the same vicinity in the same year that I did. What I hoped to get, after publishing this, were more credible accounts: I was not disappointed!
I live in Indianapolis and a couple of years ago I was sitting on my porch and looked up and saw a buck with antlers standing in the road near the alley. I got my daughters attention and she said she saw it too. It ran back down the alley towards EllenBerger Park and I just sat there thanking God that I saw that. Well, the other night I watched this and got to thinking about the buck and that maybe since it probably followed the creek then what other things could come on up. Then I took my dog out and it was dark and every shadowy nook was spooking me out.
You can definitely spook yourself! I went out about 4am or so, to recreate some of these night scenes. Bear in mind, this area has had some reported Bigfoot experiences. So I’m out there at the edge of the woods, pitch black, just me and a camera. Then, I heard something in woods, slowly moving toward me. All of a sudden, a huge deer shot across the road, and my heart dropped to my ankles! I caught my breath, got the footage I needed, and got out of there. 😀
Very informative and well put together 👍
Thank-you, Lee!
Fantastic stories! Greetings from Linz Austria 🇦🇹 Europe!
A big Hoosier welcome, from across the pond! 🙂
Your voice is so relaxing.
Very well produced program - thanks. I believe I heard a BF in either March or April 1977 in Brown County State Park.
Thank-you! Lots of people say they hear things around Brown County on a regular basis. The irony was that I filmed over at Yellowwood, to recreate one story, expected nothing, heard nothing. I got home, uploaded the days filming, and heard an unusual howl that I didn’t notice while I was there! I’m not sure how I didn’t hear it when I was at Yellowwood.
@@AdventureswithRoger This was in either late March or early April - I used to like to get up early and take my girl or a buddy to Lake Lemon - a man-made lake deep in Brown County State Park - we'd hike around, just enjoy the woods. On this day I was alone - I arrived at the lake right at sunrise. I parked my vehicle and started walking across the earthen dam that creates the lake. Halfway across over my left shoulder there was a roar - LOUD and strange - almost a cross between a scream and a growl. Whatever it was sounded big. I stopped, startled and stood there for a couple minutes. You know your mind plays tricks on you sometimes in the forest, alone - so I thought to myself "Did I really hear that?" I looked to where I thought it had come from - but in the early dawn - nothing. I started walking again but immediately there it was again - closer and incredibly disturbing. It was obvious that the second roar was made in response to my movement - this time I was petrified and I stood there for 10 minutes deciding what to do. Finally I set off again, walked across the dam and up the ridge to the trail that circles Lake Lemon. I never saw anything - just those two roars. The strange thing was that on the trails around the lake that morning it was utterly silent - no birdsong, no squirrels, no deer - which you would almost always see. The woods was quiet as a tomb. I'm not claiming I saw a Bigfoot because I didn't see anything - but that roar was unbelievably frightening.
I’ve heard mention of Lake Lemon in Bigfoot sightings. Seems like I remember a pastor hunting alone and had an encounter there. On all these encounters, everyone says the forest animals quiet down immediately before the encounter. That must’ve been an extremely scary experience!
Been there many times myself when I lived in Bloomington. I’d frequently drive around in yellow wood, Morgan Monroe & brown county in general at night, by myself in my jeep and thankfully never encountered anything…but these smelly fellas could’ve easily been very nearby.
I had an encounter when I was a kid: would never want to see one again. I’m glad I published this: lots of stories proving it wasn’t just me
Love your videos! You should cover some Martin county history! There are a lot of great stories from Martin County History!
Coming up! I’ve been filming all over Martin County to do a story about the silver mine legend. It is a very cool story!
Really for Martin County? Thanks right up my alley. I see your Bruner is spelled the same as mine. What part of Indiana do you live?
@@messingaroundwithstephebru8608 Martin County born and raised. I know almost every inch of the Martin county sticks.
@@Mr94Deadhead wish you stumble over my 3rd great grandfathers grave. He went poof. 😄 His son was an early postmaster there. I have his purse with receipts but have no idea who they are.
Great job on this, I’ve listened to it several times 👍😁
Southern Indiana 1995/Ohio borderline. At 4Am while fishing up high on a steep steep ridge. I walked up on a juvenile Sasquatch. That looked so wild and scary. It drank from the lake we were fishing. And in it's left hand it held a baby deer down by the throat. Blessed And Cursed at Barnes And Noble. Jeff Lilly check it out.
Thanks for this Roger. I enjoyed it very much. Stay safe y'all
My pleasure, Donal!
I was chased out of a woods in Knox county. By something that knocking trees down. It was at night so I couldn't see what it was. But it was paralleling me from behind. And had to be huge. This was near Ragsdale Indiana, about 10 miles from Vincennes.
I found the below report for Knox County. It sounds like there is definitely something going on there, and many people have came forth.

Excellent collection of stories. Kind of makes you leery to go out into the woods.
I’ve hiked Indiana for over 40 years. I’ve both heard and seen strange things, and continue to gather stories from others. But I still get out there! With a sidearm. 🙂
Another good one!!! Thank you so much for your great work!!!
My pleasure! Still cranking them out from this summer. 🙂
Very informative movie. I live in north Vernon im a few miles from crosleys and I will definitely say I will never go back In that park ever again. I felt that awful creepy feeling like someone was watching me. And now I know what it was.
I felt strange at Crosley, and didn’t know if I was just psyching myself out, or intuition was telling me to leave. My intuition rarely fails me.
This vido was worth the wait, one of your best yet. I live in Harrison county Indiana and was afraid you were going to say one was spotted on the Indian Creek walking trails 👣 were I frequent.
Thanks! I used to talk to a guy that grew up at Leavenworth, and he said there were all kinds of Bigfoot stories in Harrison County. Many people just don’t want to talk about it
I seen one closeup close to there. Wrote a book about it true story Blessed And Cursed True Encounter Stories. By Jeffrey Lilly
@Joe James I hope it is Bigfoot free.😁
I'm close to that area
Yes, this is it. The monster of 'Millrace Park'. I remember all the hoopla. It was a blast, to see you do a bit on it.
This was excellent!... I need more!
Absolutely love your work, Roger! Keep it up
Thank-you, Allen! Lots of interesting, odd places in southern Indiana! 🙂
I ve hunted and shoot at crosleys often.
Never seen anything thier myself. But here at home I have.
Also believe I seen them at camp atturburry at nite deep in the woods on night reconnaissance
I’ve heard this several times. I wondered if people were seeing soldiers / hunters in ghillie suits, or the noise and commotion disturbed a Bigfoot.
A common theory is that they move from place to place along creeks. You see one at a place today, they won’t be there tomorrow. But scan the internet for reports, and if you’re lucky, you’ll see an incident miles away, even counties away, but along a similar waterway from where you had a sighting.
Used to go to Crosley alot. Had some first time experiences there, but never saw Bigfoot.
Angry Indian here for the first time and I'm a how to hunt family member since day one I'm also a northern Indiana resident currently and most of my life!!! Listen folks I'm from south bend Indiana and I can positively say there here as well!! Don't believe it?? Personally wouldn't care if you did or not!! Yup I'm that snippet about it, and to be clear I've also hunted in these woods as well!!

I had a sighting in southern Indiana, many decades ago. I made the documentary to compile stories down here, and see if anyone else had similar experiences: they have. I also tried to provide known theories to get people thinking, but also encourage discussions. So many people want to write-off sightings and ridicule people that have seen something. The video has succeeded in creating many discussions and maybe make at least some naysayers think that there could be “a rational explanation”, and there really are bigfoots. I hope undeniable evidence comes in my lifetime, but I know what I saw.
Respect bro from Wayne county Ohio I Rome through the woods into the hood all the time man I never seen bigfoot bet bet your ass I believe in them god bless
Cryptozology is my favorite topic of discussion! I live about 30 minutes from Churubusco. I grew up hearing about "The Beast of Busco"! Great film!
Thanks, Ruby! I’ve studied cryptids since I was in middle school, fascinated that extinct or unknown animals, could be very much alive. Deep sea researchers keep finding new and often frightening life, in the ocean, places where we never looked before. With southern Indiana having such deep and nearly inaccessible places, it stirs my imagination. Just a few years ago, researchers found an entirely new spider (fortunately tiny) at a cave down here.
I’ve watched a lot of your videos and am intrigued to research more on some of these topics. Funny thing, I also went to CGHS. Love the quality of your videos, great work.
Thank-you! I’m probably doing these videos today, as a result of Mr McNaught, Center Grove Middle School. He had one of the first bulky video camera systems, and recruited me to both write and direct silly videos for his class. A while later, my Grandmother bought a similar system and I did skits that we’d play at family Christmas and Thanksgiving get togethers. Fast forward nearly 40 years, and I notice one of my friends gets a Facebook reply by none other than Mr McNaught! He’d quit teaching to do corporate consulting, but remembered the silly stuff we’d done.
Small world!
@@AdventureswithRoger I have been drawing my own connections and your videos helped illuminate some things I suspected regarding the areas of Bloomington, Bedford, and even Shoals. My best friend is from Shoals and has a large family farm there. One interesting tidbit, he said on a few occasions over the years he was out in those woods and somehow lost a few hours of time. Almost like an alien experience.
I’ve filmed at Shoals more than anyplace else in the last 6 years, working on this huge documentary about the Indian Silver Mine. Lots of deep history and legends. There’s some speculation that local Indians came into possession of a solid gold idol, possibly of Mayan origin, but it’s never been found. For a fact, there’s a large burial ground above McBrides Bluff, and the former land owner found arrowheads and other artifacts every time he tilled his garden. He gave me some of them!
Well that was excellent..and unnerving. I have travelled all over your circled hot spot area, mostly at night, and never gave a thought to bigfoot! I have seen things I definitely did not expect, like wolves and what were probably coywolves, based on the size, but nothing bipedal. I think heading back to Bloomington from visiting family in Jackson County will happen before dark more often in the future. Thanks for that new irrational fear! :)
I’m a sucker for crazy stories, and there are lots of them! But, like I was telling someone else: years often pass between sightings. 🙂
Bet you will be more aware on your travels now. Mybe even see more than you normally would.
Out of sight, out of mind eh?
Loving this already & just started watching
I just stumbled across your channel and I’m looking forward to binge watching.
Digging the background music. TYSM for all the work
My pleasure! I think music adds a great deal, some people absolutely hate it. It’s a tender balance, because some places really are awesome because they’re quiet. 🙂
@@AdventureswithRoger I like the background. We can’t plz everyone Which I’m sure you know 😁
Thank you..I enjoyed this .
My pleasure, Lisa!
I know they are real. Back in the 70's one of these animals took my yellow labrador. I ran out into the little patch of woods looking for my dog but she was nowhere to be found. I believe dogs are part of their menu. I will never forget the sound my dog made when she was taken.
That had to be heart wrenching beyond comprehension! I can't even imagine.
You might be right about them liking dogs. In east tennessee campers dogs will try to get in tents and hide when bigfoot gets close.
I live around the Monrovia/Martinsville area and these are pretty interesting claims !!!! Great video my friend !!!!
Collected stories. I cannot verify anything other than what I see with my own eyes.
@@AdventureswithRoger Totally agree !!!
They are on the E SE part of the county.
Back in the 70s i camped and would hike Yellowoood & Morgan Monroe & had a very protective dog that would refuse to go into some areas.
I would also get an icky feeling. Also most always there was a nasty smell in those areas and would hear the knocks. Now i know why.
Thank you I love southern Indiana my parents are from Grantsburg near English and Marengo. Yes the one with the csve.you do an excellent job. Thanks
Thank-you, Jerel!
Really loved this and subscribed ...
i've seen one in western indiana park,county
Your videos are insanely good!
That's right boss. As a matter of fact the 1970 R. Dean Taylor hit "Indiana Wants Me" is really about bigfoot!
Excellent vlog, if this is truely the countryside where the big fellows live, then not only is it great to see, but its easy to see how they can stay hidden and we only see them when we catch them unawares. Its pure arrogance on mans' behalf to presume we know it all, when we obviously actually know so little. Its reckoned that twenty new species are discovered every month they ( Bigfoot ) are just one of the ones yet to be proven. Every legend carries an element of truth, thats how they come about. Great show.
Thank-you for your kind words! I know I don’t know it all, and what used to be fables and myths are now cataloged species.
Live near Lake Monroe. Heard a log being hit against a tree in my woods and my neighbor's visitors heard a monstrous growl, unlike anything.
I’m definitely a believer. Too many credible witnesses, with nothing to gain, telling similar stories.
Awesome video! I was born in raised in North East Indiana and encountered a bigfoot "tribe" in southern Indiana... in the Hoosier forest. Definitely something to Indiana... of course, many of the tribal people that lived in Indiana centuries ago left records of a bigfoot tribe that interacted with them and helped them evolve many of their traditions.
Someone told me about an odd encampment they ran across, deep in the Hoosier National Forest. Someone else told me about a “feral family” of inbred people, on the southern edge of the Hoosier National, that attacked a rental house whenever people would move in. They couldn’t keep renters.
@@AdventureswithRoger I believe that there are feral people out there for sure!
The story from near Tunnelton Road in Lawrence County in 1981 was actually about my dad. I remember him telling it to me multiple times over the years up until his death but he told it a bit differently than how it was reported on bfro. He was actually trying to get lucky with a woman a few years before he met my mom and had his truck parked on the side of the road when she noticed someone watching them while he was trying to round every base and hit a home run. From what he said she was so freaked out and yelling at him to get back in the truck when he went to investigate that she refused to ever go back out with him. My dad “Derek” said that he could never forget the nasty smell and the fact that when he got to where it ran off the road that no man alive could have ran that fast through the briar bushes it ran through without getting stuck and hurt. Probably happened for a reason because if things worked out with the woman he had in the truck with him then me and my brothers and sister wouldn’t have been here. I miss both mom and dad but at least I know they are happy together with my older brother Ronnie.
Thank-you Norman, that’s a lot of great detail that I didn’t have! I didn’t mention it in the film, but that’s also down from where they found the ancient Indian settlement, in the field. IU has studied it for many years, there’s actually a few videos about it on CZcams. I don’t know if there’s any connection between that and the sighting your Dad had, but I found it peculiar.
I go to Medora and Tunnelton alot. I live in Madison. I almost bought the big fancy house when it was for sale years ago. Beautiful house. I've been to the train tunnel which is rumored to have ghosts but I'm glad to make out that story of yours about Bigfoot. They seem to be everywhere. My sighting was just down the road from my house just outside of Madison.
@@ericmarsh7770 Lots of strange happenings, in and around Madison, especially up toward Jefferson Proving Ground.
I've heard so many times of that group changing people's encounters. Why would they do that!
Good job on this show. Well done 👍 Thank you
Thank-you, Jon!
Hey man.. I just came across your channel today. Subscribed immediately! Awesome brother! Coming to you from Alabama. Roll Tide!!
Welcome to the adventure, Thomas!
I have walked bout 1k worth of Indiana trails !! I have seen and heard something's that would make your hair stand up some. Specially in the forest deep finding caves!! Love your content!!
Thanks Daniel! I’ve lived in Indiana my entire life, truly love this place.
I’ve hiked a fair piece of it, and know there’s way more hidden places than most people realize, especially in Southern Indiana’s more rugged places. I’ll go out on a limb and say there’s some remote places, so inhospitably rugged, that they’ve never been explored. I believe that’s why people hiking in the deeper places, pushing themselves, people like yourself that look for caves, experience more unusual sounds and sights. I’ve had people tell me they’ve seen odd stuff deep in Hoosier National Forest, from brief sightings of what they think is a Bigfoot, to what looks like primitive structures and tools near caves. “Send me pictures, please!” 🙂 I believe we’re only limited by how deep we can explore, and how brave we can be.
Great video thanks for posting 👍😁
My pleasure! Thanks for watching!
