Bigfoot Sighting in Hillburn, NY: A Former 11-Year-Old's Blockhead Encounter

While perusing YouTube, I came across an intriguing video from the Cryptid Creatures Podcast titled "Don't Look it in the Eyes!" in episode 135. The guest on this episode, Blandy, shares his peculiar encounter with a creature while mowing his parents' backyard in Hillburn, New York. As Blandy sets the scene, he describes his hometown and his experiences growing up there. On this particular day, he was tasked with mowing the lawn before his mother got home from work. The weather was hot and humid, making the chore even more unbearable. However, Blandy's attention was soon drawn to something unusual happening in the woods adjacent to their yard. While mowing, Blandy noticed that acorns and branches were falling from the trees, even though there were no squirrels in sight. He assumed the squirrels were particularly active that day. The family dog, Buzz, who was typically fearless, began barking and growling at the lawnmower, which was odd behavior for him. Blandy eventually noticed that Buzz had crawled into his doghouse and gone silent. As Blandy continued mowing, he felt an odd sensation that something wasn't quite right. He describes it as a feeling of being watched, although not in a traditional sense. He stopped mowing and looked towards the woods, where he saw a large, square-shaped creature with a blockhead, similar to a gorilla but with a square jawline. Blandy emphasizes that this creature was not a bear, as it did not have a snout or the typical body shape of a bear. Blandy goes on to describe the creature's behavior, explaining that it was watching him intently. He was frozen in place, unable to move or look away. The creature eventually turned and walked away, disappearing into the thick woods. Blandy shares his belief that this creature was a Bigfoot, given its size, shape, and behavior. The Cryptid Creatures Podcast does an excellent job of engaging with Blandy and exploring his encounter in detail. If you're interested in learning more about Blandy's experience, I highly recommend watching the video on YouTube. It's a fascinating account that leaves you questioning the mysteries that lie within our forests.
