A fascinating account of a possible Bigfoot encounter has been shared on the YouTube channel, Bigfoot Society. The witness, Brian, describes his experience in 1972, during a family trip to a small town in Illinois called Victoria. At the time, the area was dotted with strip mines, which have since been reclaimed and turned into lakes.
Brian and his friends were exploring the area when they came across a huge creature, unlike anything they had ever seen before. The creature was white and around 8-9 feet tall, and it was walking on two legs. Brian's initial reaction was to scream, which caused the creature to stop and stare directly at him. Brian's friends also saw the creature, but by the time they reached the spot where Brian had seen it, it had already disappeared.
The encounter left a lasting impression on Brian, and he spent many years trying to make sense of what he had seen. It wasn't until many years later, when he came across an article in the local paper about a white, man-like monster that had been spotted in the area, that he began to believe that he may have had a genuine Bigfoot encounter.
Brian's story is a fascinating addition to the many accounts of Bigfoot sightings from around the country. While some may be skeptical, the sheer number of reports suggests that there may be something strange and unexplained out there.
