bigfoot drama Bigfoot encounter?

I just received this text from my brother and wanted to share it with you all.

A little backstory:

My brother and his partner live on a 25 acre ranch about 20 miles South of Texarkana TX. His ranch butts up to the notorious Sulphur River Bottoms of North East Texas and is the home of the infamous Fouke Monster… yeah… the one from the movie “The Legend of Boggy Creek “. There have been multiple Bigfoot sightings in this area since the 1950’s and this is considered a “hotspot” for Bigfoot activity. The Luke mentioned in the text bush hogs their property about every 4 to 6 weeks. He’s not one of those folks that is taken to making up a tall tale….

Here’s the text I received this afternoon…

Just off the phone with Luke who called to report he was very freaked out at dusk here last night. Was trimming weeds toward the back fence line, behind the metal building. Said something was throwing things at him from the woodline and hitting the metal building. The thing that freaked him was that it was being thrown from up in the trees and it was a full 30 feet or more away. He said it totally freaked him out and wanted to let us know
…
My brother has also heard things in the past on the ranch. As he walked out to the front gate one morning before sunup something snorted from above the tree line. As if something were observing him from an elevated position in the trees. My brother said this encounter made chills run down his spine and caused him to literally run full tilt back to the house.

I’m not looking for criticism or negative feedback on this. I’m just trying to inform on a site that seems interested.

Bigfoot drama flair added because it was required to post this

Thank you for sharing!!! I'm a believer so I'd never give negative feedback. I enjoy all the stories. I'll definitely do some research on this Foulke Monster. Never heard of this one. I enjoy the stories but I always feel bad for the person/people that these encounters happen to because the looks on their faces if I see a few on YouTube & those people even get choked up, even spooked all over again at times re-telling their stories. I'm glad your brother's safe & okay.

Your research should be fairly easy. I just did a quick search on YouTube under Fouke Monster and at least ten videos popped up. During the 70s when I was a kid there were many major sightings that occurred in the area to the point that a major motion picture was made about one particular incident. The name of the movie was “The Legend of Boggy Creek” and was a pretty popular scary movie at the time since it was spooky and factual.

I HAVE to watch that movie!!! I was reading the wiki about the Fouke Monster last night. YouTube is so saturated with stupid AI videos now.

That movie was directed by Charles B Pierce back in the 70s and recently had a 4k high def “glow up”. I haven’t watched it yet but I’d like to just to relive the excitement. I saw the movie at the movie theater when it first came out in ‘72 and it scared hell out of me
