Georgia Bigfoot
The Georgia Bigfoot website is the place to go for information about Bigfoot tracking in this forested southern state. Does Georgia seem like an unlikely place for a Bigfoot sighting?
Consider this:
Back in the 1990s a man living in a mobile home in Georgia was disturbed by something (or someone) walking around his home and pounding on the walls. Worse, the thing killed some of his dogs and stole lots of dogfood. His frequent calls to the Sheriff’s department were considered a nuisance. The result of this disturbance is the Elkins Creek footprint, cast by Deputy James Akin of the local Sheriff’s department. This footprint cast was studied by Dr. Grover Krantz and Jimmy Chilcutt and declared to be real. This is a sighting story worth reading and the site includes footprint cast photographs. On a separate page you can see Jimmy Chilcutt’s dermal ridge analysis of the Elkins Creek print.
Articles on this site include the practical matters of Basic Track Casting and Processing and Investigating Potential Sasquatch Evidence. The Photo Gallery has images from trail cams, tracks and casts, and wilderness scenes showing what the terrain in Georgia is like.
I looked over the entire site before moving on to the blog, which has quite a few valuable articles though it is no longer being maintained since the site was passed on to new owners at the end of 2007. What’s there is worth a read! It starts with Game Camera Survey Phase One, published March 2, 2006 by Samuel Rich. If you’re planning to use trail cams, this is a good primer. Or if you’d like to read about a wood-knocking, howling adventure, check out Mike2K1′s story, Serendepity…How we got from Point A to B. Part I and Part II. I also appreciated Red circles, shadows and the Blob agenda. I will come back to this blog to read the rest of the postings.
All this leaves one question unanswered… Do Bigfoot enjoy eating Georgia peaches?
Probably so…

I am fascinated at the posibility of a bigfoot here in Georgia. Do you ever organize weekend hunts for him/her? I am a professional photogragher, Eagle Scout, and a pretty good shot if necessary.I live in Fayette County, home of giant hogs. Haven’t seen any yet on the Flint River, but I believe they exist.

Sorry to say – I don’t live in Georgia, and just realized that site is now offline. I hope someone from Georgia Bigfoot will drop by and comment! What happened to the site?
Maybe it will come back… I hope so!

Hi Greg… too bad this site went offline, but they did have some Georgia sightings to report. Now when I google “Georgia Bigfoot” mostly I get just news reports of the hoax there. Really, such a sad thing that it gets more attention than the real Bigfoot sightings in your state.
Don’t give up… surely there are Bigfoot researchers – legitimate ones – you could contact. I know there are some in Florida.

If anyone would like to see a Bigfoot creature, then my property offers an extremely good chance of seeing one. I live in rural Carroll county Gerorgia and there has been one hanging around my property for a couple of months now. My husband has seen it, we’ve heard it many times, and have many footpprints of it on film. This thing has been eating my cats and dog’s food for a while now and doesn’t want to leave the area.
I’m NOT kidding about this-if you’d like to comment-please feel free-
Thanks,
Lori

Mrs. Bossert -
Just wondering if the creature was still hanging out around your property? I have always been curious about them. I subsequently met someone who told me about an encounter they had as an early teen, and that really put a hook in me about them.

Lori, I’m about 40 minutes from you and an amatuer bigfoot hunter, can you provide contact info?

Tony, with your permission I’ll send her your email address. If you get to investigate, please send me a report to post on this site!

My brother and I saw what can only be described as a bigfoot,back in1989 in bibb county. We were going to hang a deer stand and using the railroad tracks to get in there,and this thing walked up on the tracks in front of us about 200 yards away. We watched it several seconds until it walked off the other side out in waste deep water,and we left and have never went back.

Hello everyone, I just wanted to add something to the sightings that Lori and her husband had in Carroll county, Michael in Lexington county, and Greg in Wayne county if y’all look on your maps you will see that y’all are with in five to ten miles of a river and also with in ten to twenty mile of a national Forrest of a nature reserve. Why is this a important factor in why you are seeing them go to this link and read and you will find out for yourself why those area’s are a hot bed for activity.http://robertlindsay.wordpress.com/2011/06/27/new-erickson-project-news-bigfoot-dna-project-using-two-dead-bigfoot-bodies-for-samples/

In order for you to understand why national Forrest and wild life refuge is the reason for your sightings,one side of the game refuge, part of this is thread that I posted, is coming form a man with the call sign BH as in bear hunter who is a bear hunter trapper and also a taxidermist there was this one road in a canyon leading into and out of the refuge. Bigfoot were apparently using the game refuge, since they are safe from hunters there.

I was just inspired by a north Ga Bigfoot program. The evidence was compelling enough for me to question an incident that occurred during our stay at a cabin in Cherry Log. One of the nights we were in the cabin, we never heard anything and the dogs never alerted us to the fact that our trash can was moved straight up a 6 foot retaining wall and moved 10 to fifteen yards up a hill to the tree line. We found it the following morning when we woke up and the can was “gone”. Bigfoot crossed my mind, but I did not want to be scared so I dismissed it as a bear. Now I’m not so sure. Can a bear do that to a trash can? Would it be smart enough to move it away from the cabin to not disturb us?
Comment by Todd — July 4, 2011 @ 7:30 pm
I don’t think a bear could do that! I would suspect either a Bigfoot, or a human. Great story!!! First I heard of trash-can lifting!
Comment by Linda Martin — July 4, 2011 @ 8:46 pm
now once a month me and so friends from church go big foot hunting all over georgia and we search at night and this will help so much
Comment by jonathan — July 31, 2011 @ 5:39 pm
this is a response to Todd the cabin renter. I live in Blue Ridge which is very close to Cherry Log. I can attest that bears will definitely carry off garbage-filled cans!! They can climb up walls, deck posts etc. very easily. It was probably a bear that attacked your garbage cans.

My uncle used to show me pictures of a large apelike creature that he and some others killed in Rabun County Ga. back in 1943. They buried it somewhere called the plum orchard in the same county after showing it around town and taking the pictures of it. You can still go there and see its grave, drive all the way to the end. The locals will assist you if you ask them to.
Sadly the pictures were destroyed in a house fire in the early 70′s, along with my uncle. But I remember the detail of the creature even today.
It had long matted hair all over and a large eye(which they shot out) right in the middle of its long pointed head. The most astonishing features of the beast was the size of his nuts. Looked like 2 volleyballs in a sack, had caluses on them that looked like oaktree bark from dragging them on the ground all the time.
We always called it the Old Nutdragger, but Im sure that it was a Sasquatch, same creature.
Ole nutdragging basterd, thats for sure.
