WIBF Case Report 1
Location: Kettle Moraine State Forest near the town of Greenbush, WI.
Date of Encounter: Father's Day 2005
Observed: The witness stated that he and his wife were driving northbound on a county road south of Greenbush. The time was approximately 6 or 7pm and it was sunny out. As they rounded a bend in the road a creature stood up in the right hand side ditch and bolted across the road from right to left and quickly disappeared into the forest. The only details observed were that it was approximately 6ft tall and appeared to be a smoky greyish color. He then pointed out that whatever it was, it moved so fast across the road that it seemed blurry. When they reached the point of where they saw the animal cross, they were traveling at about 15mph. It was at this time they both felt a very unnerving feeling and ..... had the hair on his arms and neck stand up. It was also at this point he noticed a deer carcass on the side of the road where the creature may have been crouched down.
Follow up: I spoke with both witnesses and they both relayed the same exact story. The husband doesn't know exactly what it is he saw but is quite familiar with all the animals located in that part of the state as he has hunted that exact area for the last 15 years and he could not identify it as anything he has seen before. I asked him about what he felt when he crossed the path of the creature, his reply was, "felt like the fear of God was put into me." He said he punched the gas and got out of there. He also avoided hunting the area for an entire year because he felt unsafe in the area after the encounter. He stated that he wished he would have seen the creature better to put his mind at ease somewhat. Neither one of the witnesses knows much about bigfoot and are somewhat skeptical of their existence. I told them that their report shares many similarities with other encounters of people observing a bigfoot alongside a roadway.
This report was giving to me in a face to face conversation. During the initial conversation the hair was standing up on the witnesses arms as he told me his story.
