Retired U.S. Army Sergeant Recalls Bigfoot Sighting That ‘Changed Entire Course’ of His Life 

Do you believe in Bigfoot? It’s one of those topics that is always sure to start a fun discussion. Some people are diehard believers, especially if they claim to have seen something at one point.

A retired U.S. Army sergeant named Todd Niess recently appeared on FOX News and claimed that back in 1993, he had a Bigfoot sighting that changed his life.

According to Neiss, he was conducting a military exercise in Oregon when he and some other soldiers saw three Bigfoot creatures.

Say what you will about his claims but he seems very much in earnest. He clearly believes it.

From FOX News:

A retired U.S. Army sergeant is recalling his face-to-face encounter with alleged nine-foot-tall creatures during a military exercise, warning that the massive beings are lurking in the American heartland as new sightings emerge in Ohio.

Todd Neiss, a longtime skeptic who used to dismiss Bigfoot as an urban legend, is now the head of the American Primate Conservancy. He joined “Fox & Friends First” to discuss the encounter that shattered his skepticism and changed the course of his life.

“All that changed for me in 1993 while conducting a military exercise in the Oregon Coast Range,” Neiss said Tuesday. “Those 25 seconds changed the entire course of my life.”

He explained that he and three other soldiers were conducting an exercise involving high explosives when they came upon three of the alleged creatures, which he said were observing their movements.

“Their silhouette was completely disproportionate in terms of the arm length and even the length of the legs as it pertains to a human torso,” Neiss said.

“The ones I saw range between seven to nine feet in height. They do tend to have a more human-like face, but obviously just hair-covered, very large, very athletic,” he added.

Oklahoma Bigfoot Bounty Balloons to $3 Million for First to Capture Sasquatch

The Oklahoma lawmaker who created a controversial cash prize for the first person to capture a living Sasquatch in the state announced that the proverbial Bigfoot bounty has been increased to a staggering $3 million. State Representative J.J. Humphrey made the declaration during a session of the Oklahoma legislature on Wednesday as he was providing his colleagues with an update on the audacious idea which he first suggested as a Bigfoot hunting season back in January. “Who knew that that would go international and that we would gain so much attention,” he marveled at the worldwide headlines that followed his initial proposal.

Since that time, the concept has transformed into a plan wherein applicants could get ‘tracking licenses’ from the state’s tourism department with the express knowledge that they are not to kill Bigfoot, but can capture it alive and, if they do, they win the enormous cash prize. “We have started what may be the biggest promotion in the state of Oklahoma ever,” Humphrey proclaimed to the legislature, “this is turning out to be huge.” The lawmaker also noted that the attention surrounding the state’s strange embrace of Bigfoot has already brought dividends as a documentary crew had journeyed to Oklahoma to film a series on the famed cryptid.

Bigfoot Researcher in Alabama Arrested for Attempted Murder

In a troubling story out of Alabama, a Bigfoot researcher has been arrested for attempted murder after allegedly shooting at a sleeping man. The unsettling incident reportedly occurred earlier this month when, authorities say, Gwendolyn Michelle Jones “shot a Ruger LCP .380 handgun multiple times” at an unnamed individual while he was asleep in his bed. According to court records, “once the victim awoke, he witnessed Jones standing across the room holding the pistol. She then fired additional rounds while standing in the hallway.” Fortunately, it would appear that the man escaped the situation unscathed as Jones was subsequently arrested by police and charged with attempted murder, attempted first-degree domestic violence, and first-degree criminal trespassing.
