LA EAST BATON ROUGE 1975 ELV 53FT TR93 302702N 0910916W * Bruce Rutkoski, Ohio/Pennsylvania Bigfoot Research Group, OHPABFOOT@onelist.com, posted a 25 year old sighting. His friend, then 14, was riding horseback with friends in a rural area NE of Baton Rouge, LA. Near a fenced area of cattle they noticed two dead calves and rode closer. “...as they did they suddenly heard a loud, high pitched animal scream that seemed to come from an elevated position. They looked up in the trees above the dead calves and saw what my friend described as an ape-like creature with long, shaggy, dark reddish to auburn colored hair, standing on a branch and holding on to another branch above its head, shaking the branches and screaming at them. The horses bolted immediately, ending the sighting. My friend said that she recalled that the creature smelled horrible, “like rotting meat,” as she described it.
