BIGFOOT SIGHTINGS IN PITTSBURGH

My hometown is Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and while Pittsburgh does not have the dense forests of the Northwest, there are some beautiful forests here. Those forests and areas still have had their share of Bigfoot sightings through the years...

                   

July 9, 2011 at 10:30 am in the Chartiers Creek near Boyce Rd in the South Hills of Pittsburgh:

A couple was canoeing down the creek when they claim they heard a loud growl/scream about 50 to 100 yards further down stream from them. They decided to return to their car and leave the area. They stopped to rest at a rocky bank of the creek and the woman stated she heard a grunt. They found footprint impressions in the soft muddy creek bank that measured around 15 inches long.

August 15, 2009 Sewickly Heights early morning hours:

Witness contacts Eric Altman by phone claiming he discovered large muddy footprints measuring over 21 inches long and 9 inches wide on a paved road in Sewickely Township in Allegheny County while out on a morning jog. He followed the prints and they led off the road and into the woods. Witness was called twice to meet with him and did not reply to messages left.


January 28, 2006 Allison Park Allegheny County PA:

Two men taking a break at the family business watch a tall hair covered creature run down a hillside and cross the creek. They are only 200 feet away from the creature. They describe the animal as tall, covered in brown hair, massive build and extremely fast. The animal disappears from sight in a matter of minutes. While investigating the area for Evidence, Dr. Paul Johnson is approached by a third witness. The witness tells Dr. Johnson, he is a hospital physician at the local area hospital. He was on his way home for lunch, driving by the hillside, when he saw a large dark colored, hair covered creature running up the hillside Into a wooded area. The Doctor goes on to tell Dr. Johnson that he continues to drive the same road home to and from work every day in Hopes of catching another glimpse of the creature. The three witnesses never heard of, nor believed in Bigfoot before the sightings.


August 15, 2004 near McCandless, PA:

While on a leisurely walk through the woods four witnesses when my cousin, Michael saw a hair covered creature laying on the ground about 60ft away from them. The creature was not very large, maybe 4 to 5ft tall with reddish-brown fur over all of its body. No ears could be plainly seen on it. No further information was provided in the report.


Spring of 1990 near Shaler:

Young boys discovered what they believed to be two deer killed by a Bigfoot at the top of a steep ravine. Two very fresh deer carcasses were poorly stowed up under some undergrowth. The adult doe had three broken legs, one of the rear legs almost completely twisted off. The fawn had an obvious broken back. At the time we never thought of a Bigfoot related deer kill. Years later (about 3 years ago) one of the witnesses stumbled across an article on Bigfoot and deer kills. Before seeing the photos we knew that what we found that day matched exactly what the article described. The boys did go back (shortly after-- possibly same day) to the "scene of the crime" to come up with a better explanation but the carcasses were gone - no drag marks, blood, etc.. Aside from the broken bones, there were no evident wounds on either deer; definitely not a dog-kill...
