Man recalls being followed by Bigfoot-like creature in Pennsylvania

A raccoon hunter got more than he bargained for when he ventured into remote woodland last month.
The terrifying incident, which was later reported to the Bigfoot Field Researchers Organization, took place over multiple days beginning on February 1st when he had traveled to the west end of Gamelands 333 in Pennsylvania's Center County to hunt for raccoons.

According to the man's story, on this occasion he had parked his truck at the head of Spring Creek Canyon Trail and had hiked into the woods so that he could set up his equipment.

Things took a rather unusual turn, however, when he became overwhelmed with the uneasy feeling of being watched and could hear strange sounds coming from the direction of a creek nearby.

Upon packing up with the intention of returning to his vehicle, he shone his light in the direction of the creek and caught sight of a strange, humanoid-shaped silhouette which disappeared after a brief moment.

He didn't think much of it at the time, but things would get a lot worse on his next trip.

On February 19th, he returned again, only this time he quickly found himself being followed by someone or something that was shadowing his movements.
At one point, while walking along the trail, he heard a loud knock against a tree nearby, followed by the sound of something slowly but surely moving through the foliage next to him as he walked along.

Then, after scanning the immediate vicinity with his spotlight, his beam caught the face of a large creature.

He described it as resembling the face of "King Kong" from the most recent movie, but with a nose that was "sharper" and "not as flared". Its skin was grey with wispy light-grey hair and it had a pronounced brow ridge like an ape, with a "non-human" jaw that was "roundish" and "blocky".

He estimated that the creature stood around 7ft tall and it was extremely muscular.

The entire encounter lasted mere seconds, with the creature quickly retreating back into the darkness.

Terrified, the man managed to make it back to his truck without further incident.

Exactly what it was he encountered that night, however, remains a total mystery.

It usually is. Very peaceful, especially in Idaho and Montana. The only negative really is humping the gear in and out. But that's really it.

I really enjoyed Mt. Rainer and the backwoods areas outside the confines of the park for the same reason. Humping gear into a location makes the experience rewarding, I’m certain you don’t really mind, I never did.

Rainier, St. Helens and Adams were all great areas to explore. My personal favorite though was Olympus and the surrounding rainforest. Absolutely magical there.

Yea, the Pacific Northwest is certainly the place to live if you enjoy hiking and camping. Another place few people see, the backside of the Yakima training area. Most don’t know that the training area actually backs up to the Columbia River. During a training exercise where we were testing communications we used that location and it was obvious it wasn’t used very often. The fighting positions on the hill tops had M14 and M1 Grand blank rounds in them, I didn’t find a M16 blank round anywhere it was actually pretty cool.

They are just inquisitive, they like a good jump scare, should of turned around and thrown a rock, or did some tree knocking to say, 'Hi' They are more interested if you show no fear, don't forget ur bouncy balls, they love them.

Straight off the bat I’d be embarrassed to call myself a ‘raccoon’ hunter

Explains the Patty Diaper Butt theory anyway.
