ON THIS DAY IN WEIRD


On This Day in Weird, October 18...

1968: Seven teenage boys riding in two cars claim a dramatic encounter with Bigfoot, somewhere in Fulton County, Illinois. The reporting witness says they saw a bipedal creature about 5 feet 6 inches tall, covered in "brown hair with gray or silver ends," initially lying beside the road, then rising when their cars stopped. One of the youths tries to tackle it, believing it to be a prankster in a costume, but the creature knocks him down, hurls gravel at the other boys, then flees "as fast as a deer," leaping over a fence and vanishing into the woods.
