Police Officers' Unforgettable Bigfoot Encounters in New York, Louisiana, and Texas

In the latest episode of the Paranormal Mysteries Podcast, host Nick Ryan delves into the fascinating world of Bigfoot and Sasquatch sightings, with a particular focus on encounters reported by law enforcement officers. These accounts are especially intriguing because they come from trained professionals who are not typically looking for strange or mysterious creatures. One well-known Bigfoot report by a police officer occurred in August 1976 in Whitehall, New York. Officer Brian Gosling was driving along a rural road when he saw a massive, hairy, man-like creature with red eyes. Gosling described it as standing seven or eight feet tall and weighing at least 400 pounds. He was so alarmed that he got out of his patrol car and trained his spotlight and firearm on the creature, but found himself unable to shoot. The creature let out an unearthly shriek and disappeared into the trees, leaving behind giant footprints in a nearby field. In February 1982, another police officer in the area, Dan Gordon, and his partner had their own encounter. They were patrolling on Route 22 when an eight-foot-tall ape-like creature ran across the road and climbed up a steep embankment. Gordon described it as being different from a typical Bigfoot, with long, lanky arms and narrow shoulders. He and his partner tried to pursue the creature, but it was already gone. Gordon insisted on the veracity of what he saw right up to his death in 2014. These accounts are just a few of the many reports of Bigfoot sightings by law enforcement officers. They serve as a reminder that the world is full of mysteries and unexplained phenomena, and that sometimes, even the most trained professionals can encounter something that they can't explain. In addition to these fascinating accounts, the episode also touches on the topic of the importance of preserving the environment for these elusive creatures. Bigfoot and Sasquatch are often associated with wild, remote areas, and their presence can serve as an indicator of the health of those ecosystems. By protecting the habitats of these mysterious creatures, we are also protecting the diversity of life on our planet.
