Truck Driver Observes 

Sasquatch East of Effingham

Mike J. writes RMSO

 Hi, I have had 2 encounters with Sasquatch. One vocalization that was absolutely incredible and a visual encounter. The visual was in Illinois and the vocalization was in Ohio. Just wondering if you would be interested in hearing about them. Thanks.

RMSO responds

 Hi Mike, please email us with the audio of the vocalization & all of the details of your visual encounter.

Mike continues

 I don't have an audio of the vocalization. I wish I did. My visual encounter happened in Illinois off of I 70 east of Effingham.  It was February of 2013. I am a truck driver and was going east around 7:00 am. I noticed something black in the field near the woodline. It was about 200 yards away. At first I thought it was a bear but then I thought there are no bears in this part of Illinois.

  

 I kept watching as I got closer. It was huge. It was black and it was squatted with it's back toward me. It's head was bent down toward the ground. It's shoulders were I estimate approximately 4 ft wide. Just before I passed it, it stood up on two legs, turned away from me and took 1 step in the opposite direction. This thing was massive in size. I just turned 58 yrs old. I have hunted since I was like 13 yrs old. I have never seen anything like that in my life. It looked like a huge gorilla only stood and moved like a person. I reported it to the ILLINOIS BFRO. My sighting is on the site.

 My vocalization was in NW Ohio. I was parked at the shippers building overnight because I got there too late to get loaded. I went to sleep around 9:30 pm. About 11:30 pm I woke up and saw some deer across the road. The place I was at was on a dead end street. Across the road where the deer were at is a nature preserve. I watched the deer until about midnight when they disappeared back into the woods. So I laid back down in my sleeper.

 As soon as I laid down, right beside my sleeper outside began a vocalization.  It started off low and deep. Then went to a higher howl then back to a low deep howl before stopping. I can't even explain to you how loud this was! It was so close and so loud that my chest was vibrating!. It lasted about 20 seconds. I was in so much shock from it I literally could not move. After it stopped  I jumped up to look outside of the truck but did not see anything I looked up howls on the internet until I found exactly what I had heard. It was the Ohio Howl that I heard. This was April of 2015 and I still remember every second of that vocalization like it was yesterday. Thanks for letting me tell you about this.

The Bigfoot 

"scared the crap out of him once he realized what it was!"

South Illinois Close Encounter with Sasquatch 

The creature was taller than cab of the truck

Ellen writes RMSO

 Approximately 25 + years ago my husband was driving on state route 127 north near Washington county lake Illinois. He had been visiting his parents in Marion Illinois. 

  He said today it wasn’t quite dark yet, just around dusk and not many cars on the road. He was not drinking! He saw a very tall what he thought was a man standing by a tree on the side of the highway. He slowed down and when he got closer he could tell this creature had no clothes on and covered in dark long hair. He said the sight of it scared him and he sped off. He never talked about it for years. 

 Then we heard about another sighting that is documented at the Washington county lake state park by a fisherman. There was another sighting near the lake area by a woman on her property. I think it was in the 1970s. Those other sightings in the same area made us think he might have seen a Sasquatch.   

 Southern Illinois is also the area of many sightings of the Big Muddy Monster down in the hills by the Mississippi. The stories are very intriguing to me. Thanks.

RMSO responds

Hi Ellen, was he able to estimate how tall or wide the creature was in relation to how far it came to your husband sitting in the cab of his truck? Did he see it well enough to describe the face or eyes?

Ellen continues

 It was bent slightly over. He said it was taller than the cab of the truck he’s not sure how wide but big built. Face was covered with hair except around the eyes with a He slowed down to about 10 miles an hour. He said it came up to the edge of the road once he saw it he said it wasn’t a bear or a man   It was swinging it’s arms as it walked to cross the road. It did not have shoes on and it’s feet were hairy on top and large.   He said he doesn’t like to talk about it. It scared the crap out of him once he realized what it was!

RMSO continues

Appreciate the additional details. Wow that is a giant. Must be an adult male.

Ellen adds

And my husband is 6’7” so it truly was a tall one !  The fact that there were additional documentation of at least 2 other sightings in that area gives more credibility to his experience as well.
