Have you ever heard of Bigfoot sightings in New York City? You might be thinking that this is a typo or a mistake, but there have been recorded sightings of Bigfoot in the city that never sleeps. In this article, we will be discussing some of these strange and spooky stories from the YouTube channel Odd & Untold and their episode titled "Bigfoot Sightings in New York City | Episode 57". Before we dive into the sightings, let's first get a sense of the geography of New York City. The city consists of five boroughs: Manhattan, Bronx, Queens, Brooklyn, and Staten Island. Each borough has its own unique characteristics and landmarks. For example, Manhattan is known for its skyscrapers, Broadway, and the Statue of Liberty, while Staten Island is known as the "forgotten borough" and is often referred to as the suburbs of New York City. Now, let's get into the Bigfoot sightings. The first sighting occurred on December 7, 1974, near historic Richmond Town in Staten Island. Frank Pizzellato and Philip Vivolo were in the woods when they saw a black upright bear which roared at them. It's important to note that Staten Island doesn't have bears, and the last bear sighting in the area was in the mid-1800s. A few weeks later, on January 21, 1975, a young couple saw Bigfoot in a church car park in the early morning. Later that night, Mrs. D Daly was driving late at night and had to break to avoid a Bigfoot under six feet tall crossing the road from a church car park and heading for the rubbish dump and the swamp behind the church. These sightings all happened within two months and were clustered near Richmond Town. The Bigfoot case book by Janet and Colin Board documents these sightings. While the witnesses didn't explicitly say they saw Bigfoot, the descriptions of what they saw match the characteristics of Bigfoot. These sightings are just a few examples of the strange and spooky stories that can be found in New York City. In conclusion, while Bigfoot sightings in New York City might seem unlikely, there have been recorded sightings in the area. The next time you're in the city, keep an open mind and who knows, you might just have your own Bigfoot sighting.
