Intriguing encounters with the Appalachian giants have been reported in West Virginia's dense forests, and the latest video from West Virginia Media Lab captures these chilling stories.
The video features real accounts from witnesses who claim to have encountered the mysterious creature. One hiker in the Minga Hell National Forest heard heavy footsteps paralleling his trail and spotted a large, 7-foot tall figure covered in dark brown hair. Another pair of hunters reported seeing a pair of tall, hairy bipedal creatures standing near a creek at dusk.
Campers near Cooper's Rock State Forest heard a series of unexplained vocalizations in the dead of night, followed by movement through the brush near their tents. The witnesses described feeling a presence, but no visual confirmation was obtained.
The video also shares a recurring presence near a coal mining site in central West Virginia, which was reportedly seen on multiple occasions in the early dawn hours, especially during foggy mornings. The creature was dubbed "hairy man" by the miners.
A 10-year-old child playing in the woods behind their home encountered what they initially believed to be a bear. The creature stood on two legs, made eye contact, and walked off upright like a man. The child's parents initially dismissed the story, but later neighbors reported hearing strange cries in the same area.
Whether fact or folklore, these encounters show how deeply the legend of Bigfoot is woven into West Virginia's cultural landscape. For many, the mystery remains alive in the woods and in memory.
