Summary: 7 FT TALL WILD BOY, BF COMES ON ROAD BEHIND TRUCK

Sighting Text:
TR 66 APR 97 * Also from Chuck Fuhrman. In 1963-4, his ex-wife as a girl, had gone with her boyfriend's family to a lake in Montana, which he didn't know the name of. At the time there were stories of an escaped teen-age boy that was lost in the wilderness, the "Wild Boy," that had grown up hairy and over 7 foot tall. There were also UFO's reported at the lake that same summer, so he thinks there might be a connection. She and her boyfriend and some local guys went out searching for the Wild boy, armed with guns, on local roads. She was in the back of the pickup truck with a powerful light, and looking backwards. After they passed him, a Bigfoot came out onto the road, and froze for a few seconds in the powerful light beam. It had long arms and legs, she said. They banged on top of the cab to stop, and the truck went back to the site. The boys followed the creature in the dark with the light, leaving her scared and alone in the truck. They didn't give her the keys, lest she panic and leave without them, and there was also no light. Joy is a teacher now, remarried, at a Portland school. Info passed to Peter Byrne for follow-up.

TR 56 APR 96 * Betty's husband, Eugene Fields, Another story, this time told by a logger friend in Montana about 10-15 years ago, but he doesn't know where. His grandmother was tent camping and picking berries. Going to bed that night, after dark a noise was heard outside of the tent. Peeking out she saw a male, female, and an adolescent Bigfoot snooping around The male reached into the dead campfire, dug his hand through the ashes of the dead fire pit, picked up a handful of cold ashes, smelled them, then threw them away. She was scared and didn't know what to do, so climbed back in her sleeping bag until dawn when the creatures were gone.

Sighting Text:
MT TR17* . Fred Mahoney, his twin brother and a friend, Char1ie, went horse packing in 1951. They left from the town of Wisdom, on the Big Hole River, Montana, travelling east into the Beaverhead Nat. Fst. They had gone in about ten miles on their camping trip when they saw something big run down the trail ahead of them and lose itself in the woods. Fred said they turned the horses and went the other way so the horses wouldn't spook, and he noticed there were bare human footprints that seemed about 14 inches long on the trail. The thing was about half a mile away when they saw it run, but Fred guessed it was about 6 1/2 to 7 feet tall, and had long brown hair, but not shaggy like a dog.

Sighting Text:
TR 49 JULY 95 * Dave Byrd listened to the Art Bell "Dreamland" rerun show (original June 18th) on 1190 KEX Radio, July 23rd, 7 PM - 10 PM. The guest speaker was Linda Moulton Howe (animal mutilations specialist), and she commented about a hunter (no date) in Cascade County, Montana, that came across an 8 foot, reddish brown hair, creature with glowing red eyes. The rancher shot at the creature and it disappeared in a flash of light. A couple of witnesses, Steven Ungleman and Peter Dekora, were named (Reese Mikel input) And that's the way it was officially recorded in the Cascade County files. So, the question is what is it that could disappear in a flash of light? Linda referred to a "shape shifter," (apparently a being that can change its shape, or "wink-out" into another dimension). Call 1-800-971-4278 for a tape of the program. We had this happen before in Pennsylvania, I recall, where the creature on the porch had its hands up in a position of surrender. The lady shot anyway, and the creature winked-out of existence (In TR Spl #1, $2.50 postpaid, NUFOG presentation on the BF/UFO connection). Linda said the sheriff's office of Cascade County was at the time flooded with calls on animal mutilations and reports of moving lights and disks in the sky. Just today 7/24, had a call from Neil Brandt of Novato, CA, concerning the same kind of events happening. He did an extensive report in "WBS Alien Report," number 8 ($2.50 postpaid) concerning an event he had in 1957. Give him a call if you want some eye-opening information (415) 898-9077. It was Bell's 50th birthday and he said he was writing a book.

MT GALLATIN 1993 TR#76 * From the Internet, posted by Ron Schaffner. Daniel Lakatos was in western Montana hiking on June 3rd, 1993. He and two friends were backpacking the Gallatin Divide, and while hiking towards their car at Portal Creek Access late in the day near sunset, were met with a nasty storm front; heavy wind and rain and hail almost covered the noise of something else in the howl. Across a clearing, cut about ten years previously, at the older tree line, there was a spine tingling howl, and something massive and dark, about 60 yards off, running on two legs went through the brush and disappeared in the forest. They heard the howl again from far off, and hurriedly left the area. “I’ve read about sightings in the Anaconda/Pintier region as well as the Helena area but as far as I can tell I’m the only one to report a sighting in this area.” One is tempted to speculate on the creature howling in anger at the storm, and again as the storm abated.

Summary: BONES OF LARGE MAN IN CAVE, INHUMAN LOOKING SKULL

Sighting Text:
MT TR24 Scott Sebring, (blonde, but says he is half Blackfoot) dressed in traditional Indian garb, was the main speaker, covering numerous topics concerning Native American lore and his own experiences with Bigfoot. While visiting his great-grandfathers remains at the Blackfoot Reservation in Montana, Scott learned of an upcoming pow-wow dedicated to the "hairy man." Scott says, once every one, two, or three years, it is said that, "when the buffalo, the deer, and the coyote come together, then the hairy man appears." Scott brought along a highly ornate copy of a "rattle" that represented those three animals (see drawing of buffalo rib bead-work with deer-hoof rattles, and a tuft of coyote hair). During the pow-wow dance, a man dressed in a hair-suit dances out and entertains the young ones...and the elders also. Scott has left the beaded and leather wrapped rattle for our display case. The Blackfeet think that the "Bigfeet" are just another "type of people," and want to just leave them alone. Scott says his relative is interred in a lava tube/cave that has been enlarged. One of the other things he says he saw in the cave were the bones of a very large man, 8 1/2 feet tall, that had a strange, unhuman looking skull. The burial area and pow-wow are open only to Native Americans
