A chilling account of Bigfoot encounters in Iowa and Georgia has been shared on the YouTube channel, Bigfoot Encounters Narrated. The video, titled "BIGFOOT REPORTS IOWA AND GEORGIA," features a first-hand account of a paperboy's encounters with Bigfoot in Eldridge, Scott County, Iowa in 1981.
The witness describes feeling watched and followed in the weeks leading up to his first encounter. One morning, while delivering newspapers, he noticed large footprints in the snow. The prints were about 6 to 8 inches wide and 24 inches long, with five toes on each foot, just like a human footprint, only much larger. The witness followed the tracks and discovered that they came from the northeast side of the woods, cut through people's backyards, and exited the southwest side of town.
The witness was understandably scared, but his encounters with Bigfoot were far from over. A few days later, he followed the tracks to a 4-foot high fence on the other side of a small park called Elmer Green Park. To his shock, the creature had stepped over the fence as if it wasn't even there. The witness followed the tracks all the way back to the city of Eldridge sewer treatment ponds, where he usually hunted rabbits. The tracks followed Hickory Creek around behind the treatment ponds, and the witness stopped following them out of fear.
A few weeks later, the witness had a terrifying encounter while delivering newspapers with his father. They heard a horrifying scream, and the witness knew that it was Bigfoot. He ran as fast as he could back to the car, and his father, who didn't hear the scream, was startled by his son's sudden appearance.
The witness's encounters with Bigfoot didn't end in Iowa. In 1986, he had another encounter while driving down a gravel road in the southern Rocky Mountains of southern New Mexico. This time, his girlfriend saw the creature too.
The video also features a Bigfoot sighting in Buchanan County, Iowa, in 2006, where a farmer heard a horrifying scream while checking on his cattle. The scream gave him the "Willies," and he left the area as fast as he could.
I find these accounts fascinating and chilling. It's always exciting to hear first-hand accounts of Bigfoot sightings and encounters.
