Quoted:
Oh crap. Here we go again... 
From a northeast Oklahoma newspaper: Tahlequah Daily Press February 23, 2006 Still searching... By Eddie Glenn, Press Staff Writer About two years ago, the Press ran a story about sightings of – who else? – Bigfoot in Cherokee County. To say that the story opened up a can of worms would be an understatement. Calls poured in. And they haven’t stopped. Sure, they let up occasionally. But every couple of months, someone (usually insisting on anonymity – and understandably so) calls to tell us about a Bigfoot encounter. In our 2004 story about the elusive – some might even argue, mythical – beast, reference was made to a sighting in 1990 in the Eldon community. In that story, Jack Goss – then an investigator with the Cherokee County Sheriff’s Office – is quoted in a 1990 Daily Press story as saying, “We kind of shook our heads when we got the call, but the lady sounded serious. She said Bigfoot was in her back yard. We thought she might have seen a bear, but she was really sure that it wasn’t. She said it was hairy and stank really bad.” Soon after our 2004 Bigfoot update ran, we received a call from a woman who lives in the Pumpkin Hollow area who said she and her relatives had been “spotlighting” Bigfoot for years in that community. She said the animals smelled of berries and urine, and once they were hit with a spotlight, moved too fast for anyone to take a shot at with a rifle. After that, most of the calls we received about Bigfoot weren’t from local residents, but from film documentarians and Bigfoot researchers wanting to talk to locals about their experiences. Then, last fall, the local sightings started up again. Evidently, Bigfoot has been seen around Lost City for many years. One woman reported that three generations of her family had seen him, and that the creature seems to have an affinity for children. The descriptions are always similar – seven to eight feet tall, covered in dark reddish-brown hair except on the face and chest, walking upright and smelling really bad. One witness said the odor smelled like a combination of berries and urine. Another said it a smell similar to “an old man in a nursing home,” (which may not be all that dissimilar to berries and urine). One witness in the Scraper community said she heard a scream that was unlike anything she’d ever heard before, looked up and saw through the woods only the lower half of a hairy animal that was walking upright. One of the more recent sightings was actually reported to the Cherokee County 911 office. “In October, we received a call at about six in the morning from a man who said ‘I know this is going to sound crazy, but it’s not a prank,’” said Darryl Maggard, 911 coordinator. “He had just seen what he believed to be Bigfoot. It was seven feet tall and hairy, and from the anatomy it appeared to be female.” Maggard said the man called from near the Welling Bridge area, and didn’t sound like he was in any way impaired. “We’ve received calls in the past that you could tell were not believable – it was just someone who’d had a few too many,” said Maggard. “But he was obviously just a guy on his way to work. I really believe he saw something – there’s no doubt in my mind. But what do you do when you see something like that? I don’t know what I’d do. He decided to report it.” If it makes anyone out there who’s seen such an animal feel any better, sightings of Bigfoot (and similar creatures that go by various names), or at least media reports of sightings, have been increasing all over the world. The Russian newspaper, Pravda, has even printed stories about sightings in Russia (which makes us here at the Daily Press feel a little better). One of the most popular areas for Bigfoot sightings is southeastern Oklahoma, where the community of Honobia held their first Bigfoot festival in October. Evidently, it was so successful, they’re planning another one this year. Several years ago, a film crew visited the community to shoot a documentary. The same crew has expressed interest in shooting a sequel of sorts in northeastern Oklahoma, but no definite plans have been set yet. In the meantime (until all the local Bigfoot sighters can tell their story for the camera) Maggard said that – even though it’s not an official Bigfoot hotline – anyone who sees something that unusual can call 911. “If they see something like that, and they feel like they could be in danger, or someone else could be in danger, by all means report it,” said Maggard. One more! But the picture and article mentioned are no longer available online! Tahlequah Daily Press, Tahlequah, Oklahoma Local Residents Insist - Bigfoot`s Really Out There? On March 2 of this year, the Press ran an article about Bigfoot sightings in Cherokee County, along with a photo of an alleged Bigfoot, standing on a rock in Pumpkin Hollow. We knew we`d get some phone calls on that one: after all, it`s not every day that Bigfoot makes the news. But it is every day, practically, that someone calls the Press, wanting more information about Bigfoot sightings in Cherokee County, or (and these are the really interesting ones) telling us where Bigfoot can be seen in the area.

Bigfoot Sighted In Harlan County, Kentucky A friend of mine, Joanna Carter, saw bigfoot in Harlan county. She was traveling on rural highway 1137 when something caught her attention on the side of the road. It appeared to be about 8 or 81/2 foot tall. Its arms hung ape-like, but it walked in a upright position like a human. The creature did not make sounds, but stared her as he crossed the road. She stopped and examined the place where she saw him, and found a patch of hair that the creature had left on a branch that he had scraped against. She has this hair sample and would be willing to let scientist examine it as proof of her sighting. If you want to contact her her e-mail is: [email protected] thank you. Name withheld pending hair analysis. This description from the witness: The color of the creature I saw was probably what you define as a brownish/greyish/yellow/reddish mix. The texture of the hair was long and nappy. I could not tell the sex of the creature, but I do remember slight facial features: the head was long and wider at the bottom and formed a stiff lock of hair at the top. The chest was quite bulky, and was significantly noticeable, as the hands were in the form of that of a humans, only covered in hair. It was running, as a human would run, and appeared to have red eyes. I saw the creature just last week (early June) while crossing a country road. When he noticed the sounds of my vehicle, he ran swiftly into a patch of berries aside the road, and then continued running through what I assumed to be the mountains/woods of Appalachia in Southeastern Kentucky. Thank you for your time and patience. Sincerely, Joann Report taken by Bobbie Short Quoted:
