FAMILY STARTLED BY BIGFOOT

July 4, 2006 took a different direction when a Wysox, Pennsylvania, family returned from their outing late at night. As they walked from the car to the house, they were startled by loud screams coming from the wooded area behind the house.

Puzzled and frightened, they continued to listen to the screams. They appeared to be coming from three different places in the several hundred acres of forest before them. One scream would come and then a few moments later it would be answered by a scream from another direction. And then a third would respond with yet another scream from a third direction. This lasted for over 15 minutes before the family went inside.

The next day, the children decided to check out the woods and try to find out what or who may have been screaming in the woods. They came upon a dead deer, wedged tightly in the "y" of a small tree.  The deer appeared torn apart. They also found large human shaped footprints on the ground which led the family to speculate that a bigfoot or similar type of creature was responsible for the deer's death.  Broken trees and branches were in the area, along with several trees ripped out of the ground with the roots still intact.

The family contacted a research group who visited the location about 8 days later. They looked at the deer. It was still there, no other predators appeared to have touched it. The tracks and other evidence was also still evident. However, the weather and elements had contaminated the tracks, the deer, the tree and the rock assumed to have been the weapon used to kill the deer.

While there, the researchers heard screams like those heard on July 4. They were not able to see what made the screams or killed the deer. Circumstantial evidence pointed to the possibility of a bigfoot doing both, according to the research team.
