Missouri Hunter Recounts 1975 Bigfoot Encounter on Horseback

Summary: This episode of Sasquatch Theory features Roger from Iron County, Missouri, recounting a Bigfoot encounter from the summer of 1975. While searching for a missing horse near Big Creek close to Annapolis, Roger and his cousin, who were riding double on horseback, came face-to-face with a towering, massive silhouette estimated at 9-10 feet tall. The creature, which resembled a large gorilla, was illuminated only by the full moon behind it. Roger's horse immediately panicked, backing up quickly and nearly throwing him before he managed to regain control. The encounter was brief, with the creature standing still and slightly turned to its left, but its sheer size left a lasting impression on Roger, who had to look up at it from atop his horse. Notably, a few nights before the sighting, a normally vicious German Shepherd staying with the group became terrified and refused to leave the tent, whining in fear. The next morning, the group returned to the area on horseback but found no tracks or other evidence. Roger, who has spent his life in the woods hunting and fishing, has no doubt about what he saw that night.
