Connecticut has had more Bigfoot activity on the books this year than it has in a while. According to a CT Insider roundup, 2026 is the first year since 2022 in which more than one Connecticut report has been added to the BFRO database.
The most recent came from a Rhode Island driver who says he saw an 8-foot-plus bipedal creature cross a road in Voluntown on the night of July 5. BFRO rated it Class A, its most reliable category, and investigator Mike Young said the witness’s description came across as accurate and honest. State police and wildlife officials told the paper at the time that they had received no reports of the creature. An earlier report from April, in Kent, was rated Class B and described noises in the woods near Skiff Mountain.
The state now has 29 reports on file going back to 1953, which still places it near the bottom nationally despite its forest cover. Litchfield County accounts for 13 of them, and the town of Kent has the most with three.
