Partial sighting in Kentucky

On a night when dogs were barking toward a hillside area cleared for pasture, the witness shined a spotlight and saw a human-like figure hunching and ducking behind knocked-down trees. The figure tried to stay hidden and then left in the dark. The witness fired shots toward the area and checked for tracks the next day.

In winter the guest walked through a cleared deer plot in the ravine area. In a muddy thawed patch he found a fresh bare footprint about four to five inches long. He reasoned no child would be barefoot there in winter and took it to suggest a family group.

Sasquatch sighting in Kentucky

The day after the garden sighting, the mother's brother thought he saw something in his front yard, stepped onto his porch, and faced a large creature about twenty feet away that gestured as if to come here. He went back inside for a firearm and it was gone. Men with dogs pursued it into the hills, lost two dogs, saw its silhouette on the mountaintop after dark, then left.

He set the food down, left, and found it gone the next day, then left food there about every two weeks and saw the figure a few times. On the last visit he saw a large black one with a younger one, the large one shaking trees and throwing things while the young one left, after which he stopped going there.

The two hikers describe finding a large partial footprint while off trail along a river about a year before the main night encounter. Only the front half with visible toes was preserved. They questioned why anyone would hoax a print so far from maintained trails.
