A man driving through wooded roads in Connecticut believes he saw Bigfoot run across the street in front of him.
Reported to the Bigfoot Field Researchers Organization, Kevin Klimas said he had just left a cabin off Beach Pond in Voluntown on July 5 at 1:45 a.m. when he crossed a small bridge at the intersection of Wylies School Road and Forge Hill Road.
“This area is the middle of the woods. Super dark. I’d guess I went no more than 200 yds like this when I witnessed something jump into the road from my right heading to the woods on my left. I had to hit my brakes to avoid a collision with this thing. Upon doing so I witnessed a bipedal,8-8½ foot tall creature swiftly crossing the road. It had coarse, matted, and greasy looking long brown hair covering every part of its body I could see. Its legs were shorter than its torso and its arms literally hung down to right around knee height. Must have had an 8 – 9ft “wing span” if it fully outstretched its arms. Extremely broad in the shoulders (4+feet easy) Thick with what I can only assume is muscle, and moving like on a mission. It never stopped nor did it turn to look at me. I was only able to see a side profile of its head and face,” Klimas reported.
Klimas said the top of the head seemed to “cone up slightly” and it had a “jawline any pugilist would kill for.” He said it had minimal hair on its face and that it stepped onto the road, took another step then a third which put it back into the woods.
“Walked more like a human than any other animal. I was (and remain) dumbstruck. Took me a minimum of 60-90 seconds to regain control of my faculties and get my car moving again. Make no mistake. This was not a bear. This was a cryptid. Im no longer a skeptic. Im certain of that,” Klimas reported.
Bigfoot Field Researchers Organization Investigator Mike Young interviewed Klimas two days later at the location of the sighting.
“The woods around Voluntown have had significant Bigfoot activity. The BFRO conducted a private expedition nearby at Hopeville Pond State Park during the COVID outbreak,” Young said.
Another investigator from the organization, Matt Moneymaker, also spoke with Klimas.
“The witness is credible. He’s not lying about what he saw. I could tell from the conversation,” Moneymaker said. “It was raining around Beach Pond on July 4th and into the wee hours of July 5th, and then a few more big storms in between the 5th and 8th. All that rain would have made it useless to look around for footprint impressions near the road.
“I would bet the sasquatch was attracted to Beach Pond that evening because of the 4th of July fireworks. The sasquatch may have been a few miles deep into Pachuag State Forest but would have heard the explosions of the fireworks around Beach Pond, which may have sounded like gun shots in the distance. We know of a handful of incidents across the country where people deep in the woods were approached at night while setting off bottle rockets,” Moneymaker said. “Why would a bigfoot be attracted to those sounds? It may sound like hunters shooting. During deer season the sound of gunfire will sometimes indicate where a deer has been shot and eventually gutted.”
It is the gut piles (and particularly the liver) that a sasquatch want from a killed deer.”
According to the Bigfoot Field Researchers Organization, there are three posted reports from the same county in Connecticut. There are 22 unvetted reported from the same area in its internal database. The area close by in Rhode Island also has three posted reports and 20 unvetted reports in the database.
