A series of reports have suggested something big may be lurking in the backwoods of Chatham.
One resident was alerted to a mysterious discovery in her garden beneath an apple tree, an abnormally large five-toed footprint. A police officer was called in to investigate, he reported examining the print which was 18 inches long and 8 inches wide.
There’s something amiss in the backwoods of Chatham, something potentially big. Lately there’s been talk around certain areas of town of an unusual howling and screeching sound as well as evidence of some very large footprints.

As to a body, I have a question for everyone. I'm going to put you in a situation, then I want you to tell me as honestly as possible what you would do if you were in this situation yourself. Your driving on an interstate highway, and you see a human form on the opposite sides emergency lane. You think, "omg, someone got ran over or shot and dumped on the highway last night". As you get nearer you notice a stream of what looks like blood course from the head and pool about 2 feet from the head which by now you realize is face down. Then you notice that what your looking at is covered in reddis... [More]

I've got a cast of a large footprint that I saw in the woods.

No takers. That's because you'd do like I did and everyone else did. You didn't want to take the risk of becoming involved in a murder investigation, so we all drove on by. How did it end? It layed there for 5 days (maybe more), then FINALLY I saw a state trooper behind it, I thought "it's about time they got whatever or whoever that is off the side of the highway".

And as with UFOs, the government is hiding the truth from us.

Take photos, stand back, call animal services, tell them an endangered animal is dying in the middle of the road on a dangerous stretch. Call papers. Wait. Well back in the 70's I was in my late teens, early twenties. No cell phones, no internet, no quickly accessable information to cross reference, not much public awareness or info on BF either. Knowing what I know now, I would have went straight to the local newspaper and got a reporter out there. Unfortunately at the time, what I saw lying dead in the emergency lane did nothing but cause a mental train wreck because I no point of reference ... [More]

Concerning the photos of the footprints I consider them suspicious and possibly a hoax. On the one print it shows 6 toes and the biggest one seems to have a claw mark indicating a claw extending from the toe. The claw, at least to me would not be indicative of a hominid but some kind of animal.

If fact, what I saw didn't exactly match up with the descrpitions of BF either (except for the covered in hair part but the red... [More]
