Bigfoot in N.C.
Today’s Asheville Citizen-Times reports on the recent Bigfoot sightings in Madison County. Apparently, Sasquatch himself has appeared around the mountain town of Hot Springs. This is exciting news indeed, but I was most impressed to learn that this is not Bigfoot’s first visit to our state. The Bigfoot Field Researchers Organization has an excellent website documenting all known sightings, which are arranged by state. The North Carolina page lists 42 Bigfoot sightings in the Tar Heel state. Predictably, he has shown up most often in the mountain regions of North Carolina, but has popped up a few times in other parts of the state, including Mocksville in Davie County and at Camp Lejeune in Onslow County.

I’m betting that Bigfoot was merely passing through Madison County heading for a winter home in Avery, Mitchell, or Yancey. We don’t know exactly where he’ll settle in for the cold months. But surely it will be in that tri-county area, where the Toe, North Toe, and South Toe rivers will provide him convenient good water sources.

Trust me, Bigfoot is real. As we were returning from Glynco, Ga, me and my buddy brian almost hit him on on i-26. We just had hit the NC line and at 75 mph we nearly slammed him head on. I know in my heart this creature exiists. Both me and my buddy agree a furry creature walking upright and very fast is not an everyday occurrence on the interstate.

As a small chaild I remember a tall hairy creature looking in through a old door that my family was caming in at High Rock Lake in NC. A few years later a friend and I was riding 4 wheelers on the lake bed and seen several foot prints in the road. The prints were a third larger than my size 10 fox riding boots. Also, this was in the middle of the winter. The ground was froze.

While camping out at Mountian Island at the French Broad River in Madison Co. I had an iteresting night. At the time I new nothing of bigfoot, I got intreaged about the subject after visiting a website an playing the recordings. What got my attention was the tree knocking. I have heard this on numerous occations while on that section of river and vagely wondered who was up on the side of the mountain banging on a tree. I thought maybe someone was setting up a deerstand or something. Anyway just after sunset I hear loud splashes in the river, thought it might be big beavers or something ,the splashes were huge! Later on something kept walking around my campsite never did see anything and wasnt to worried as Iwas heavly armed. This island is very remote and surrounded by whitewater on both sides. About 3am a ground shaking thud woke me up, I got out of the tent and looked around but it was pitch black out there. I got spooked then. I thought maybe a rock fell of the small cliff back where Iwas camped out. Just befor daylight I heard what sounded like a tree being twisted apart, I got out of the tent and emptied a thirty round clip in the air,never heard anything else or saw any body except for other boaters the rest of the weekend
