In the world of Bigfoot sightings and encounters, there are those that leave you questioning what you believe to be true. A video posted on the YouTube channel Wild Discovery titled "Bigfoot Attacks Man And Takes His WIFE Caught On Camera!" is one such account.
The video tells the story of Steve Wells and his wife Cynthia, who in 1973, decided to take a camping trip deep into the wilderness of the Appalachian Mountains in Northern Georgia. Steve, a passionate hobbyist photographer, was eager to capture the beauty of nature with his brand new color camera. The couple stopped at a local store at the base of the mountain to grab some lunch and directions to an abandoned railroad system known for its remote and picturesque setting.
The man behind the counter gave them specific instructions on how to reach the old railroad tracks, along with a warning that those Hills were home to something not quite human. Despite the warning, Steve and Cynthia were excited to begin their adventure.
As Steve wandered along the tracks with his camera, he began to feel uneasy. The forest, though stunning, felt strangely silent, and Steve couldn't shake off the feeling of being watched. He noticed movement in the distance and saw something large, too large to be a bear, moving through the trees. Steve quickly took a few photos before making his way back to Cynthia.
As he approached their campsite, Steve heard heavy footsteps following him. Panic set in, and he began to run. The footsteps behind him quickened, and Steve was knocked to the ground by a massive shadowy figure. The creature was covered in thick hair and easily stood over 8 ft tall. Steve's mind raced, wondering if this was the Bigfoot the storekeeper had warned them about.
Cynthia, hearing the commotion, ran towards the sound armed with nothing but a flashlight and a hunting knife. She yelled and waved the flashlight, trying to scare the creature off. To her surprise, the creature turned and fled into the trees, disappearing as quickly as it had come.
Steve and Cynthia survived their encounter but decided to leave the mountains immediately. They kept their story quiet for years, unwilling to face the ridicule or disbelief that often follows such encounters. However, before they passed away, they expressed a desire for their story to be told to warn others of the dangers lurking in those remote Woods.
The video, though shocking, serves as a reminder of the dangers that can come with exploring the wilderness. While no one can say for sure what it was that attacked Steve, the local legend of Bigfoot in those Hills became all too real for him and Cynthia.
