Kentucky Cryptid Enigma: The Silver-Gray 'Barilla' Creature & Local Sightings

A new video has surfaced on YouTube that has piqued the interest of Bigfoot enthusiasts and researchers alike. The video, titled "The Bear Cross Gorilla Is Alive | Bearilla | Mythology Documentary | Boogeymen | S2E06" and posted by the channel The Unexplained Universe, explores the legend of the Barilla, a creature said to roam the forests of Kentucky. The video features interviews with locals who claim to have had encounters with the Barilla, describing it as a bipedal creature with werewolf-like features. One witness, Jason Caldwell, recounts his experience seeing the creature while camping with friends in 1999. He describes the Barilla as being over 7 feet tall with a long muzzle and grayish-silver fur. Another witness, Jeff Caldwell, Jason's father, shares his own encounter with a similar creature while driving home from a hunting competition in 1996. He describes the creature as being around 6-7 feet tall with pointed ears and a muzzle, and moving in a way that was not human or animal-like. The video also features commentary from Ron Coffey, a cryptozoologist and founder of the Gateway Paranormal Society. Coffey has been researching the Barilla for over 40 years and believes it to be a separate species, distinct from Bigfoot or Sasquatch. He describes the Barilla as being more aggressive than other cryptids and having a unique call that has been described as a "screech-howl" sound. The video serves as a reminder of the many mysterious and unexplained creatures that are said to inhabit the forests and wilderness areas of the United States. It is a fascinating look into the legend of the Barilla and the ongoing search for evidence of its existence.
