Ep.58: Bigfoot In The Blink Of An Eye: The Leap That Stunned Me


Listen Later

A nighttime scream from the kitchen window of an Arkansas farmhouse would forever change Steve's understanding of our world. As a 19-year-old soldier stationed at Fort Polk in 1975, he found himself face-to-face with something science told him couldn't exist – a massive, bipedal creature that cleared a five-foot fence with ease and ran across open pasture "like a track star." 

Standing just 25 feet away in the bright moonlight, Steve observed what would haunt him for decades: an eight-foot-tall, 700-pound being with a humanlike profile but clearly not human. The encounter culminated with the creature shattering through solid oak boards and unleashing a roar unlike anything Steve had ever heard in his extensive outdoor experience.

For 45 years, this decorated military veteran and retired law enforcement officer kept his encounter locked inside, fearing the ridicule that would follow. Only recently has he broken his silence, discovering his story resonates with thousands who've had similar experiences but lacked the courage to come forward.

Steve's testimony gains additional weight through corroborating incidents, including a massive military operation at Fort Polk where an entire battalion reportedly encountered a similar creature, resulting in a base-wide search that discovered a military transport truck mysteriously crushed and overturned.

Through sharing his experience, Steve has become an advocate for others harboring similar encounters, particularly fellow military and law enforcement personnel who fear professional repercussions from speaking out. His thoughtful reflections on what these creatures might be – intelligent beings with both human and animal characteristics – offers compelling insights into why they've remained so elusive despite countless sightings across North America.

Have you been keeping an encounter to yourself? Perhaps it's time to share your story and discover you're not alone in what you've experienced.
