| Another Forest Is Lost, Another Bigfoot Territory Is Destroyed |
This spring marks four years ago that a fellow member and I spent many nights sitting, listening, watching, and on some
occasions, seeing Bigfoot ! I am working on a book now of those sightings and times. We weren't the only ones seeing
Sasquatch at this particular time and place, it seemed there was hardly a week went by in those days that my phone didn't
ring and the caller telling me of a sighting.
I was saddened a few days ago when I was finally able to return to the ancient forest that I had become to know so well. It
too had been destroyed by logging. Even so there were a few signs that Bigfoot had been there at some time. I did find a
couple trees along the dirt road that appeared to have been broken, or snapped a while back. The breaks didn't look fresh.

| A single, lonely buzzard flies over the few trees that remain of a once ancient, dense, and thriving forest that once stood here |
| A Bigfoot was spotted in this creek sitting or squatting on the rock pile in the stream. We also heard what we believe was a Bigfoot in the creek one night. Was this a favorite fishing spot for the creatures? Details will be in the book. |
| Not only did Bigfoot loose its homes, but many other woodland creatures lost theirs as well |
| This was one of the 'Hot Spots' We sat in this location several times a week. A thick and very old forest surrounded us here. Bigfoot was close by as well, we heard him, and we saw them... (yes, them,,,more than one) and we saw them on several occasions! |
| Chico made a few of the trips with us at night too. |
It had been about 3 years since I had sat in this location on some more hot, sticky,
humid, summer nights. Some nights had been miserable it was so humid! There
were times I, or I had my friend to pour water over me to try and cool down. I often
wondered if it was worth the pain. (Several years earlier I had suffered a heat stroke, I
still feel the effects, I can't tolerate heat). But now thinking back, it was worth it. Even
though there were times I became sick from the heat and paid for it several days
afterwards, we saw something many people never will!

We came close to these creatures. There was one night you wouldn't believe me if I
told you just how close we came! We came so close that my heart literally almost
stopped! ... and it was a few weeks before we returned. Several weeks before I felt
able to return. I feel as if my friend and I in some way were trusted by these
creatures. I do believed they came to recognise the sound of my truck and would
come close to us as they knew, over a period of time we weren't going to harm
them.. Maybe they were as interested in us as we were in them.
I really miss not 'visiting' them...not hearing them... not knowing if they were
watching us while we watched for them. And I often wonder if they miss us?...

Bigfoot Tracks Found In Cheaha State Park
It has been a while since the trail of Bigfoot tracks were found in December of 2010 in Cheaha State park. Sightings of this creature have gone up
considerably in Alabama since that day! Mt. Cheaha is about 40 minutes from my home in East Central Alabama. I have been there numerous times
and have seen signs of Sasquatch there. The tracks were found in Clay County Alabama, according to the marked location on the map a fellow
investigator sent me. Clay County joins Randolph County, the county where I live. Although I have not had a report at Cheaha State Park, I have
investigated sightings in Clay county over the years.
I and a fellow investigator were on location one night in an area where we'd gotten a sighting report. We'd been sitting on the tailgate of my truck for
some fifteen to twenty minutes when we heard stick tapping sounds to the east of us. There would be two taps on a stick and then silence for a while.
After we heard the fourth tapping I tapped two sticks together and sounded back to who or what was tapping. This went on back and forth for several
minutes and soon we could tell the tapping we were hearing was getting closer. Although we never saw who or what was doing the tapping, it did get
very close. We estimated distance to be about 40 to 50 feet from us. Then after a while the tapping stopped. This was a couple summers ago.

There was another sightings in Clay County I've investigated. A woman on her way home from work saw a 'hairy man' cross the road in front of her
near the community of Mellow Valley. Mellow Valley is in southern Clay County. It was almost dark and the 'man' walked into the road, he turned
his head toward her, paused briefly then walked leisurely into the brushes along the roadside. The land on either side of the road was swampy.
Another sighting was made on County Line Road that borders Clay and Randolph Counties. This sighting also was around dark in the mid summer. A
truck driver hauling logs on the dirt part of the road near a creek saw a Bigfoot walk into the road from the forest undergrowth, stroll across the dirt
road, then walk off into the under brush on the far side. The creature paid no attention to the large log truck as it crossed the road.

There have been numerous sightings in Tallapoosa County as well as Randolph which are bordering counties to Clay and Cheaha State park. In this
particular area of Alabama Bigfoot or Sasquatch, who is also called Wampus or wapus by the older people have actually been seen here for many,
many years. The first booklet I wrote on the Bigfoot phenomena, 'Bigfoot Sightings of East Central Alabama', details one of these early, long ago
sightings.

A Black Panther Is reported Seen In Zana
What'S Going On In Zana?..... Or What has Gone On In Zana ?
A Black Panther was reportedly spotted along the road side in the area of the swamp in Zana on Highway 22 on Wednesday
August 17, 2011. Sighting was around 11 PM. Panther was eating what looked like a road kill near the metal guard rails. Witness
said the cat had a very long tail. And it was plain to tell it was a cat. Another black panther was sighted in this area only a few
years ago. That sighting was also at night.

NOTE: Several years ago I was complying information on a book i was writing. A lady I had known all my life Mrs. Wilkins, helped me with the book.
It was my first attempt at writing. It was not for her, she had written all her life as was a well accomplished writer. She also had lived in this and the
surrounding area all her life as well. I had come across a placed called Zana and I knew nothing about it. When I asked her about the place, did she
know anything of it... her answer was yes.
According to Mrs. Wilkins at one time Zana had been a large cotton plantation. Extremely large. It was worked by poor white share croppers and
mainly slave labor. She didnt seem to want to talk a lot about it. She did tell me however that the slaves brought with them a religion called voo-doo.
It was a different, strange and scary religion to the plantation owners and the people of the area. She said black magic was practised there according
to legends and stories she'd been told as a child. Witchcraft was also supposed to be practised there. Lots of witchcraft! That there were animal
sacrifices there, or so she was told, and even rumors of human sacrifice. According to legend the area became haunted. 'But,' she said also, 'Maybe
this is just stories people made up.'
If it is true, then maybe this explains the wrecks, the ghosts, the Sasquatch, the black panthers, the UFOs, the noises, the sounds, the howls, (or
screams), and the eerie feelings you sometimes get when passing through Zana.
So if you pass through this track of land late at night... prehaps drive a little slower, if you have the nerve,,, and a strong heart. You might get a
glimpse of Zana's uncertain past that now lurks in the shadows of this ancient forest land.

| More Bigfoot Sightings Coming From Tallapoosa County |
As the summer lingers on in central Alabama, the Bigfoot reports keep piling up! This summer has brought a number of sighting to our attention
here at ABS. (Alabama Bigfoot Society). Many more than normal from a variety of witnesses.
There was a sighting on Friday July 22, 2011 just west of Daviston, Alabama along Highway 22. The witness and her son were returning to
Wadley, their home, when the woman, the driver saw a 'hair covered, man-like creature', walking along side the tree line. She said it appeared
well over 6 1/2 feet tall. She estimated she was traveling around 55 - 60 mph and only saw it for a moment. She was not looking for anything
extraordinary. Her son was a sleep at the time of the sighting.

Then, only three days later on Monday July 25, 2011, another similar sighting was reported to us. This one
being just east of Daviston on Highway 22 in an area known as Stephens Loop. Logging has been going on
there recently. And this usually gets the creatures moving around. This was reported by a man I know very
well and have known him all my life. The creature was a very deep reddish brown, had extra long hair and was
'casually' strolling along the white line on the edge of the road as the witness put it. This was around midnight. .
I have been to this location and have discovered several signs of Bigfoot. We also plan to have some of those
photos on soon.

Another Sighting In Clay County
(This is The Same County Of The Mt. Cheaha Footprints)
(This is The Same County Of The Mt. Cheaha Footprints)
Sunday Night, August 14, 2011. In a location in Clay County, not that far from Mt. Cheaha, maybe 20 minutes if you take your time getting there,
another sighting was reported to ABS. It was around 11:30 when 2 of our investigators were sitting on the tailgate of a truck. Yahoo website had a
segment that there was to be a meteor shower this week. They were watching for the shower, but were in a location where Bigfoot had been sighted
in the past. Not exactly a sighting, but stick tapping had been reported there and these same 2 investigators had heard the tappings here about a
year or so ago.
While sky gazing, the investigators heard the stick tapping sound, but only heard the tappings once. In a few minutes one of the investigators
looked down letting their neck rest. While doing so she saw a figure cross the dirt road in front of them about 40 to 50 yards away. The moon still
behind a few trees was coming out so you could see fairly well. The figure was only a black silhouette and she thought to herself, maybe my mind
and eyes are playing tricks with me.
They sat there for approximately and hour. In that time one of the investigators had noticed a large bush along side the dirt road where they sat. It
was in the shadows but you could tell it was a bush. Then.... while she stared up to the heavens watching the occasional shooting star, she looked
back down and to the bush. IT WAS GONE! It had been about 12 to 15 feet from them! Was this a Sasquatch watching them? It is possible! She
told the other investigator and they immediately decided it was time to leave.
But to add a little more to the story, when they cranked up and started down the dirt road, they heard heavy footsteps running along side the truck!
Then there was a 'ting' as if something small hit the side of the truck like a small pebble. They heard more footsteps and then sped away.

Bigfoot Sighted Along Alabama Highway 9
Between Cleburne County And Piedmont
Between Cleburne County And Piedmont
A truck driver whose route took him through a location between Cleburne County and Piedmont, Alabama, known as Nance Creek
says he had numerous Bigfoot sightings over the years he drove the route. According to an e mail we received from the witness's
grandson, the truck driver saw a Bigfoot or several different Bigfoot in this heavily wooded area from time to time. He says the
Bigfoots he encountered stood taller than stop signs and when one crossed the highway, it took only 3 to 4 steps to cross the
entire width of Highway 9! All he said were very tall, very hairy! The grandson says his grandfather never carried a gun until he
saw these creatures. Not that they tried to harm him, but if for some reason he became stranded along the road, at least he had
some type protection if need be. These sighting happened a few years ago and I believe the grandfather is not driving the route
now. This is our first sighting report from this area. Even so, it is within a short distance of Clay County where the Mt. Cheaha
footprints were found and where we have had other sighting reports.

| Noticeable Sasquatch Signs Found Again In Tallapoosa County Near New Site - Zana Community |
A few weeks ago I was contacted by a man who lives near New Site, Alabama by e mail about
sounds he was hearing that were originating in the woods near his home. Howls and tapings
during the night. He could hear them from his front porch. We have now had several phone
conversation and plan to meet in the area of his sightings in the near future. However over
the weekend another man who had a sighting in that same area contacted me. He and I met
in Alexander City, then went to the New Site-Zana area. There I found many noticeable signs
of sasquatch. I made several photos of them and will have some of them posted on here soon.

This tree was carried to this spot. I found no stump
in the surrounding area that matched. It is placed
between (woven), through limbs of four other trees!
Is it a boundary marker?... a direction marker?
Or is it a warning sign to KEEP OUT ?!
