A
young couple called 911 recently and informed the police that their campsite had been disrupted by a pair of armed Bigfoot hunters. Brad Ginn and Madelyn Durand were camping near Mammoth Cave in Kentucky when their sleep was disrupted by two men who were running from the elusive monster:
The couple had been sleeping in a tent early Sunday morning when Durand, 22, woke up Ginn, 24, to tell him that a man and his young son were approaching. When they got to the tent, the man said that is own campsite and tent had been destroyed and that they were in "Bigfoot country."
Then he showed them a gun in his back pocket and told them to "run if we hear shots," Ginn said. The man and his son then left. "A few minutes later we see their lights approaching again," Ginn said, "and as they get closer we hear the man yell something like 'oh my God! Do you see that? There it is!'" Looking out from their tent, Durand and Ginn watched as the man "shot his gun into the darkness." Durand and Ginn said they then ran from their tent to the man to see what was happening.
The man "says he saw Sasquatch emerge from the brush near our tent and start approaching him,' Ginn recounted. "We're like, 'Are you serious?'" Ginn said And the man said he was, they said. The man and his son then left, Ginn said, and the couple called 911 and hiked 5 miles back to their car.
The Courier Journal confirms that law enforcement did indeed respond to a park incident involving an individual with a firearm early in the morning on July 28th, but nobody was injured. The incident was still be investigated.
