More Sangamon County, Illinois Sightings

Recently received the following note on the 31st January 2021:

Hi Stan,

– possible Bigfoot sighting this morning around 11am, just north of Auburn, Illinois. My son in law saw a very large dark upright thing walking down the railroad tracks behind his home, headed towards a wooded area that is next to the tracks at the back of his property. It was snowing, and the tracks are quite aways from his home. He saw it from his kitchen and stepped outside for better look. He said it must have been quite large and was dark in color. He saw it for about 30 to 45 seconds or so and said it looked like it had long arms. Longer than a human.

Things that make you go “hmm”, pt.6

The area along the Sangamon River in Menard County, Illinois has always had reports of possible sasquatch activity including sightings.

On the 11th of November, 2020 I got the following text message from a friend of mine who lives in this area.

Hey Stan,

Our neighbor 3 houses down heard a woman yelling help this morning and a man’s voice. He drove a mile in all directions asking people if it was them and nobody did it and he had my uncle asking too. It was so loud he drove quite a way around. Have you heard of them yelling help as sound mimics?

Spoon River Valley Incident

Stan – I recently received the following email concerning a possible sighting in March of 2011 in Fulton County, Illinois.

My husband, my daughter and I had traveled to Macomb Illinois about 8 yrs ago. We were traveling east bound on County Highway 95 and we were close to the Spoon River Valley. It was March or April and still cold outside. We are following a snow plow, who was not plowing but just driving East and we were followed by a Illinois state police officer. We were coming up on the Spoon River Valley and it was around 2 or 3 pm. We saw what appeared to be a very tall man on the left side of the road and he was walking toward the road. As we got closer we noticed that this “man” was extremely tall and dressed all in beige from head to toe. The snow plow in front of us slammed on his brakes as the “man” began walking into the path of traffic. This “man” we realized was not wearing beige clothing but seemed to be covered in fur that was the color of wheat or even deer in the spring. He never looked up, he didn’t seem to notice a bright orange snow plow coming right at him. The plow actually passed him and he walked right in between our car and the snow plow and he still never looked up. He walked right passed us (about 10 feet away) and dropped down into a copse of trees and a deep ravine and disappeared. The cop and the snow plow driver pulled over to speak to each other. The snow plow driver got out of his truck and yelled at us “did you just see that” but the cop told us to keep driving and would not let us stop. He told us to move along and he stayed with the plow driver. And we’ll that’s it. This could only be one thing and I did not believe in Bigfoot, he was never of interest to me and our family. I and my family were as close as 10 feet from this thing and it was covered in silky looking dirty blond hair. He never once looked at anyone but looked straight ahead at the wooded ravine like he didn’t hear or notice us. My ex husband is 6’5 and this guy was bigger than that with wide shoulders. I saw no clothing or shoes and only saw the face in profile, and the face was also covered in hair. And that’s it. That’s my story. I still have no idea what we saw but I will always wonder.

Stan – I recently received the following message from Rolo Tumasi, who lives in Southern Illinois (Alexander County).  We have squatched together in the past and I know his integrity.  see Southern Illinois Giant.   Other researchers have experienced unusual encounters with Sasquatch and this sighting and encounter, although unusual is not unique.

From Rolo Tumasi:

“i was riding my atv, when i noticed a white bipedal figure moving through the trees, as i started to follow, i rolled my atv while climbing up a ditch bank. i ended up underneath my atv, face down in knee deep water with a gravel/sand bottom. the atv weighs over 400lbs, I’m 50 years old and have COPD. basically i know they sometimes travel in pairs or groups of three and while you’re occupied with one, the other watches you. the way i was pinned, facedown in knee deep water with the atv on my back, i don’t believe i had the strength to get it off of me. i would’ve had to do a pushup in knee deep water with a sand and gravel creek bottom, with 400+ pounds on my back.

all i saw was the one before my wreck, i didn’t see, hear, or find evidence of any others, not even a track of the one i did see. i doubt in my present condition that I was able to save myself. i could’ve possibly pushed it off of myself 10years ago, but even with adrenaline, i don’t believe i could now. what are the odds that a second bipedal could’ve reached down into the ditch and pulled that atv off of me, and if so why?

they terrify me. and if one did pull that atv off me, it conflicts with my long time impressions of the species. i was nearly to the point having the woods clear cut and using brush fires to cleanse my land of their presence. as a former firefighter i know from work experiences that by all rights, i should have drowned. so this has really messed with my head to the point that i haven’t been in the woods by myself since.”

Whole lotta shakin’ goin’ on

Word comes from the Mechanicsburg area near Springfield, Illinois of a young man who lives in a trailer in the woods. Recently his trailer was shaken violently, when the witness looked out the window he thought he saw something large running away. He and his friends have had things thrown at them…. he’s heard some “screaming”
