      Heard it scream and saw these same kinda tracks out there exploring. I can strongly sense and feel They're presence out there.
      They have them here in Mississippi not far from Honey Island where I live. And YES I've encountered them. I rather people leave them be. Enjoy learning and talking about em. As long as people don't try to kill em'.

      @@southernfoods7302 the old Cajuns told me a long time ago that East Texas and Arkansas and Mississippi and Louisiana share the same creatures! The old Cajuns believe that there are a tribe that travels the water ways back and forth between the 4 states and they are different than the northern sasquatch the southern Bigfoot seems to be a lot more lean and athletically built and they seem to have a more Ape look compared to its northern cousins! I live in Metairie Louisiana and I grew up hunting and fishing Louisiana and had my only sighting at 8 years old duck hunting with my father! I'm 57 years old now and I do my own research on the creatures! I totally agree with you that they should not be killed for the evidence needed to get them on the books! Hopefully we find a body on something! Peace out!

    I have hunted in Honey Island swamp along the west pearl river since the 1970's. There are several cryptids living there. The 3 toed track cast that she shows in this video in not from the sasquatch that Harlin Ford caught on video. It is from a creature about 4 foot tall with appendages that look like wings, are often in trees and are very shy. Most hunters never see them because they run off when they hear a hunter approaching. I only saw these creatures 3 times in Honey Isl;and Swamp. I did see the 3 toed tracks on several occasions and always near the river. The Sasquatch is there too, about 7 to 8 foot tall and covered in hair with a face that looks very human. Often at sundown, I would hear it roaring. When it was close to us, it would make my stomach organs seem to vibrate while it yelled. Most of the time it was very far away when it yelled. The sound will give you goose bumps when you hear it.

    When I was a kid my dad and my uncle used to run slat traps in the Ponds off of interstate 59 in the honey hole in the honey Island swap for catfish and one day when they were running their slat trap boxes for catfish there was something moving the trees and pulling trees down ,that was not human like, they mentioned it to me when I was a kid and I remember that distinctly it never scared me ,it intrigued me actually and now when I bring it up to my uncle and my dad they don’t remember seeing it strange occurrences maybe telepathic maybe not

      I bet your family was picked by the Shymen of the Forest to be given a "Great Gift". I believe that your family was allowed to be "Generational Helpers". They're the ones who can get to see and come close to knowing the crytpid's history. This just isn't possible for many of us.

    Like you said, "you can tell if someone is not telling the truth", The ones that have seen them and talk to you about the exp. They almost always, flash back, They may have been armed but you can see fear in thier eyes because it's not just another animal. It's an entity that is real and when they say it can reason: It is hunting you. It's like another Person and they are hunting you and thier entire body is designed for the hunt and thier way of hunting is in a pack. Where is the one that you can't see as you looking at the one that is trying to make you look only at them. It is real and can be Life & death not just trying to scare you off. Even here in Nebraska we have found trees that have been uprooted snapped and pile driven into the ground with the root ball stretching outward 5 to 10 ft wide root ball of the tree is up almost 15 ft in the air. and these trees you can, just only, put your arms around are stuck about 4 feet in the ground. when the crops are high these things can be anywhere close to homes and after harvest to early summer they will stick to the creek & river tree lines until it gets dark out.

Like people make them out to be, scary darn things , truly a heart stopper , if he jumped you. But they need a certain environment , they have needs just like any other species , but they aren't everywhere . Not by a long shot . Peace .

    Hi, the only thing strange is creature has 3 toes, very unusual. Most Big Foots have similar human like toes. So maybe yours is a different species. I’m pretty much a non-believer but I’m open to the possibilities. Your story sounded realistic. More than most.

      William Ole School Arendt Yes, well, truth is I know all too well about these haters... You see, Dana is my cousin, Harlan, my Grandfather, and to take it one step further, the “Angie and Perry” Dana spoke of in the video... my Mom and Dad.... so I guess I felt like I wanted this person to tell me more about these “shoes” they speak of.. and even more so, about this big TORNADO.... because in my entire life I don’t remember anything of the sort.... hurricanes... yes... many... but no tornado that blew through town disrupting “hoax” items that were hidden somewhere... Although it MIGHT have been cool to be the ones to land a house on the “wicked swamp monster of the south”... however I don’t think we would have seen a big celebration like they threw for Dorothy, as no one that I’ve ever heard of wants to hurt this beast. That INCLUDES my Grandfather AND my Mom and Dad! For the record, I get that some people will be skeptical, there will always be those... but making up total lies just rips my britches!! Bottom line, like Dana, I believed the accounts I was told by my family, just the same as dozens of others that have come forward and told eerily similar tales of the ones I grew up knowing!! Besides, to know my Pap, you would know that at any given time he had numerous things he enjoyed doing... I just don’t see him having the time or inclination to care about some monster that was make believe...!!!! But ALAS... haters go on and hate... we don’t mind. It gives us something to talk about!!!

      When he originally saw it and told people of it, they made fun of him. Then supposedly he "found" the prints and made castings of them to get people to believe him. I think eventually he admitted they were fake. When he passed, his family found the 8mm movie he made of it. Why he didn't show off the video when he made it confuses me still.
