Daylight Sighting: Researcher Spots Two Bigfoot Creatures 30 Feet Away

If you've been craving a solid witness encounter story, this one from the Creek Devil channel is going to hit the spot. Host William Jevnik, a two-time witness and field researcher with over four decades of experience, sits down with two researchers who have been putting in serious work in their respective areas.
The first guest, Mike from the Northeast Maryland region, has been investigating reports since 2017 after a connection through his brother's boss's son who worked with the Department of Natural Resources. Footprints were turning up in his area, and the DNR agent didn't know where to turn. Since then, Mike has been hitting the woods with a small trusted team, collecting hair samples, making casts (so many he stopped casting), and documenting everything in notebooks like any good field researcher would.
But the encounter he came on to talk about happened about a year ago in the spring. Mike had gotten off work early and was doing his regular route through an area where he's made numerous footprint casts. There's a shooting range nearby, so gunshots are normal background noise. What wasn't normal was the yelling that followed. Deep, projected, impossible to understand. Like someone yelling at their kids or their dog, but wrong. The sound kept getting closer, and Mike just stood there listening, trying to figure out what he was hearing.
Then everything changed in an instant.
Out of his left peripheral, at a three-way trail crossing where he's found prints time and time again, something broke the tree line. Mike turned his head just in time to see a black and grayish speckled creature moving on all fours across an eight-foot gap. And right behind it, tucked behind the first one's right hip, was a second creature, identical in size and movement, but with a champagne or almost orange coloration. They crossed the trail in milliseconds. No ears visible. No tails. Not loping like deer or dogs. Just moving in a way that doesn't match any known animal.
They broke the other tree line and stopped. Everything went silent. Mike decided to stomp toward them to see what would happen, and the response was immediate and intimidating. Crashing, smashing, booming sounds as whatever these two creatures were made it clear they didn't want to be followed. Mike did a U-turn and sprinted for his car, thinking he could head them off at a nearby street. But by the time he got there, nothing. Gone.
The size comparison is where things get really interesting. Mike had one of his partners, a guy standing around 6'2" or 6'3", get down on all fours right where the sighting happened. The comparison hit Mike hard. Chills. Fear. These creatures on all fours were about as tall as a horizontally-stored propane tank, somewhere around four to four and a half feet at the back. That's a substantial animal on all fours, which means the standing height would be considerably taller.
One of the other panelists made a good point. Mike was alone, no flashers on his vehicle, 30 feet from these creatures, and they chose to bolt rather than engage. The fact that they made such intimidating noise getting away suggests they wanted distance, not confrontation. Mike himself admitted he's glad his instinct to chase kicked in after the fact rather than during the sighting, because in the moment, these things were moving so fast and so quiet that 30 feet of distance evaporated without him hearing a single footfall.
The second guest, Chad, represents JRG Michigan Bigfoot, a research group that takes reports seriously and follows up on every single one. They've already received several reports this month and are working through them systematically. If you're in Michigan and have had an experience, their Facebook page is the place to connect.
What makes Mike's account stand out is the combination of factors. Daylight sighting. 30 feet of distance. Two creatures moving in tandem. The vocalizations beforehand that drew his attention to the right spot at the right time. The fact that he's been documenting this area for years and knows the normal sounds and movements. And the size comparison done on-site with a human reference point.
The full conversation goes deeper into the details, and Creek Devil does a great job letting the witness tell the story while the panel asks the right questions. Definitely worth checking out if you're into well-documented witness encounters from researchers who are putting in the fieldwork.
