I have always had a interest in the unknown - at least until I found algebra. But I still like hearing the stories, the folklore and legends of my area, and surrounding areas. I will start this off, as an example of what to post.
Carter County Kentucky Bigfoot Reports
Carter County Bigfoot? Regional sightings prompt questions | News | journal-times.com
I guess my local "legend", "myth", whatever you call it, is the "bigfoot" in Carter county. Most sightings are of a 7-8 foot tall, dark haired hominid that resembles a very large primate. These sightings have been going on for many years, especially near the Grayson lake area.
I talked to a man about a year ago, and I noticed a vial of hair, and a huge plaster cast behind his shoulder, in a display case. I asked him about it, and he said that a long time ago, (1990's), he started hearing howling noises on the ridge tops near his tree stands. They were deep howls, not like the ones coyotes make, or even dogs. He went to investigate, and as he crested the hill, there was a large jet black hominid, about 7 feet tall. The description he gave, and the description of other accounts, suggests that this is not the Grayson Lake Bigfoot, but rather the "Midnight Whistler", a jet black 7 foot tall Bigfoot in central Kentucky. This bigfoot has been spotted in Central Kentucky, and even as far as Clay county West Virginia.
He then said that the bigfoot threw a large rock at him, hitting him square in the chest. It then let out a ear piercing scream, described as a high pitched whistle or shriek, and then ran off. The man said that he slowly walked back down the hill, and came back the next day. He found foot prints where it had been standing in the mud, and he got the casts. He said the hair is most likely deer hair, but he thought he had better save that too.
Tall tale? Most likely. True account? Maybe.
What's your story?
