#14 Bigfoot Encounters in the Hoosier National Forest
Since 2017, multiple Bigfoot encounters have been reported in the Hoosier National Forest, with detailed accounts cataloged by the Bigfoot Field Researchers Organization (BFRO). Notable sightings include reports from Martin County in 2018 and Washington County in 2020. In this episode, I interview Angela, who shares her chilling experience from June 2022 while driving eastbound on Interstate 64 near mile marker 88 at Turkey Fork, between Evansville and Louisville. I also speak with Bill, an Army veteran and seasoned hunter, who recalls three encounters he had between 2017 and 2019 near Shoals, Indiana. Together, their stories shed light on the mysterious and elusive creature said to roam the region. https://www.rivercitymystery.com/14 Join the River City Mystery Discord channel to meet others from the tri-state area who are into true crime and the paranormal.  https://www.rivercitymystery.com/discord If you've had an encounter in southern Indiana, southern Illinois, or western Kentucky, reach out to me at matt@rivercitymystery.com or you can share you story on my Discord server at rivercitymystery.com/discord.   Links mentioned in episode: Bill's YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@billthreet1022 Bigfoot Field Researchers Organization:  https://bfro.net/ Washington County BFRO report:  https://bfro.net/GDB/show_report.asp?id=65589 Martin County BFRO report:  https://bfro.net/GDB/show_report.asp?id=60871 Indiana Bigfoot Researchers Organization Facebook Page:  https://www.facebook.com/groups/IBROrganization/ Map of the Turkey Fork area of Interstate 64 (88 mile marker) where Angela had her encounter:  https://www.rivercitymystery.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/TurkeyFork.jpg
