Fox News reported that two encounters in Indiana County and Westmoreland County involved small upright figures covered in brown and gray hair. The reports out of Southwest Pennsylvania indicate that people are seeing some odd creatures wandering around outside. These are sightings of what Fox Penn Live reports are “mini-bigfoots.”
The two separate incidents took place Tuesday, August 18, and Wednesday, August 19, and involve Bigfoot-like creatures that are no taller than five feet. The first encounter, which was reported to BFRO researcher Stan Gordon, took place on a farm in Indiana County, Pennsylvania.
The witness, Gordon reported, was wrapping up a chore at one of the farm buildings on the property when she heard what sounded like something being thrown around. As she exited the building she “noticed a figure crouching behind trees approximately 60 feet away. She then saw a second, similar figure crouched near the first.”
She claims the two figures jumped up and started running around as if they were playing. She watched them for several minutes, describing them as walking upright on two legs and standing about three and a half feet tall. Their bodies were covered with straggly, medium-length, light brown hair. Neither appeared to have a neck. Their heads seemed to rest directly on their shoulders. Their faces were darker brown than the rest of their bodies, and their eyes appeared round and dark brown.
The witness, unfortunately, didn’t have her phone with her. But she went on to describe the creatures as having slender arms reminding her of a young child’s arms and making noises that sounded like a baby cooing. The encounter came to an end when she sneezed and the two mini-bigfoot spotted her. She ran home and told her husband about it. The family dog was afraid to go outside after the incident, and she was awakened that night by a sound similar to the cooing she says she heard. Her husband heard loud knocks the day of the sighting, but didn’t witness anything himself.
The second of the encounters took place the following night around 8:00 pm in Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania. A driver along a rural road says she spotted a creature covered in hair running up a hill. The witness only saw the creature for a few seconds, but says she got a good look at it. She estimated the height to be just five feet tall. She says it moved on two legs and was covered with charcoal-gray hair.
“Its head was somewhat dome-shaped, with no apparent neck. The arms were long and swung as it moved. Its nose appeared slightly flat with flared nostrils,” Gordon noted. “The witness did not notice any ears. Its eyes were small and dark. She saw only one hair-covered leg clearly as the creature spun around and retreated down the hillside.”
