Man recounts sighting of Bigfoot in Scotland

A man from Fife has broken a ten-year silence by revealing his encounter with a mysterious hominid.
While sightings of Bigfoot in the UK remain relatively rare, they have still been known to happen from time to time.

This week however not one but two new stories have emerged, both from witnesses who had remained silent for many years before finally deciding to come forward with what they'd seen.

The first, which took place in the 1980s, involved a woman who saw a large black creature with broad shoulders in Carmyllie.

Spurred on by her tale, a second individual, who has asked not to be named, came forward a week later to recall his encounter with something very similar on the Fife side of the Tay Road Bridge.

It was while driving home from work at around 3:20am one morning in August 2005 that he came across a tall figure standing at the side of the road near the A92 Five Roads Roundabout.
"As I approached the figure stepped out in front of my car and I naturally brought it to a halt to avoid hitting the individual," he said. "This ‘person’ was a large hairy ape-like creature which turned to look at the car as I approached."

The creature allegedly crossed the road in three large strides and disappeared in to the woods after which the witness recalled hearing it crashing its way through the undergrowth.

"There was an unpleasant odour in the air and suddenly I got a feeling I was being watched as everything went very quiet," he said. "I then continued home."

"I know unequivocally what I saw and it is still clear in my mind as if it happened yesterday."

What if Bigfoots are alien's pets? They just let them out of the UFO every once in a while traipsing around the planet. Or ... they could be in league with the Reptilians and spend most of their time in the underground tunnels. Being originally from the surface though, they need to get out and get some fresh air once in a while. This would explain a looot of things. mmm hmmm

1)Why do you say scat hasn't been found? 2)First of all I prefer the nomenclature "waste" since they are related to humans. 3)So it's not a giant unclassified ape at all. 4)and smart enough to stay away from modern man. 1) - Because none has been proven to be found. Pretty easy and clear. 2) - I prefer scat because we do not know that they are humans. 3) - You of all people should know that many reports describe it as "ape-like". 4) - "Smart". Interesting. Chooses to not build shelter. Chooses to not make tools. Chooses to not build a village. Chooses to not be different. No rebellious teens w... [More]

I have Amish where I live. They too are supposed to stay away from the other ways of life. They are taught that from the very beginning. Yet you can always find Amish teens chang... [More]

Lol those replys made me laugh You made some good points too. I also live near Old Ways Amish(PA) and they are fascinating people. They don't even let you open a door for them, smile at them, or take pictures or videos of them. Hmmm who does that remind you of????? They do try to be on their own without outside interference. But people see them and can provide proof of their existence in a short period of time. Really, I think the "teen" concept pokes a big hole in your "they are human" theory. Humans are very curious and social beings. Certainly one of the bigfoots that inhabit almost every c... [More]

Really, I think the "teen" concept pokes a big hole in your "they are human" theory. Humans are very curious and social beings. Certainly one of the bigfoots that inhabit almost every country on the planet would make contact with someone with a good camera. A lot of the sightings could be teen Sasquatch's. Especially during lean times and them having unpolished skills. They could be collecting human waste and roadkill. They are dumb enough to be s... [More]

I can't fathom how you know so much about a creature that has never been filmed, studied or sampled? You once listed BFs dietary habits but how do you know this? No one has ever seen it eat, you don't know what kind of teeth it has, no one has ever seen its leftovers and as has been pointed out countless times, we have never gotten a sample of its dung so you don't know what it eats any more than I do. How do you know how its feet look, from all the BF plaster castings people have made? Does that include the ones guys have created in their garage and then traipsed through a farmer's field? We ...

Oh, just another story. '' it was right there, you see!? ''. Ah. I've seen something too, hmm, well, it was most likely one big, fat bigfoot, eating stolen hamburgers while it was walking around local school ( it was weekend, no people around to confirm this, unfortunately ) and then, on my surprise, big shiny spaceship arrived and, just before i pressed button to take picture with my camera - the creature was, well, kinda teleported to spaceship. It started making weird noises and just before teleporting happened, something like a scream i heard, but very loud it was. My cameras battery got e... [More]

Nothing about Sasquatch is ape-like except for full body hair, which is much sparser on Sasquatch to begin with. They are reported to have human-like feet, hands, neck, body proportions, facial features, breasts, walking as well as running on two legs...the list goes on. Sasquatch, if real, is a relic human and not an ape at all. Alrighty! I believe you, i don't know what it is exactly, i presumed some sort of an ape, but hey, can be ancient humanoid too .

'Finding Bigfoot' recently did a programme on Scottish Bigfoots, trying to relate it to the Big Grey Man of Ben MacDhui. There were more than two reported sightings. http://bigfootresearch.blogspot.co.uk/2014/05/finding-bigfoot-team-heading-to-uk.html
