Witness Recounts 8-Foot Bigfoot Encounter on School Playground (1979)

In a recent video from the YouTube channel Investigation Cryptoparaology, host Troy shares his personal experiences with the paranormal and unexplained phenomena in Louisiana. Growing up, Troy was surrounded by legends and lore, including the legend of the Rougarou, a shapeshifter or Skin Walker that is said to roam the woods of Louisiana. Troy recounts a time when he and his friends saw a creature that he describes as standing around 8 feet tall and watching them through the woods. He also mentions feeling like they were being watched in the backwoods of Galliano, and even having a German Shepherd chase off an unseen entity. In addition to his experiences with Bigfoot and unknown creatures, Troy also shares stories about his family's history with the supernatural. His grandparents were known as "three tours" or "treaters" in Cajun culture, meaning they were healers who used alternative methods to cure ailments. Troy's grandmother, in particular, had a set of prayer beads that were said to have powerful healing properties. She would use these beads to pray over sick family members, and Troy claims that they always seemed to get better. Troy's mother inherited these prayer beads and passed them down to Troy's sister. However, Troy recently discovered that these beads are actually a type of wicked goddess prayer bead, used in witchcraft. Troy's mother was also rumored to be involved in witchcraft, and Troy recounts experiences of feeling uneasy and scared in her presence. The video also touches on the topic of demonology and the dangers of playing with Ouija boards. Troy's brother had an experience with a Ouija board that seemed to follow him, even after he burned it. The board would reappear in the attic, and Troy's brother and his friends would hear strange noises and feel like they were being watched. This video is a fascinating glimpse into the world of the paranormal and unexplained phenomena in Louisiana.
