Bigfoot sighting along Neches River?
Chill bumps rise on David Arceneaux’s arms as he looked across Block Bayou at a line of trees about 100 yards away.
“I’m not crazy. I don’t do drugs and I’m not a drinker,” Arceneaux said before telling his tale of seeing not one but two Bigfoot-like creatures huddled together one December morning.
The Nederland native visits Oak Bluff Cemetery about once a month to clean the graves of a friend and a cousin, something he has done for years without incident. But on an overcast, windless day Arceneaux got the fright of his life.
“I heard a blood curdling scream and a lady nearby asked me if I was OK. I told her it wasn’t me,” Arceneaux said as he stood, uneasily, at roughly the same spot where he saw the creatures. “We walked over to the water and looked to the left then straight ahead.”
What he saw next amazed him. Two Bigfoot-like creatures looked across at him and the unknown female. One was standing next to a tree, arms around the trunk and the other was squatted down. As the second creature rose from the crouching position Arceneaux estimated the creature was about eight-foot tall. So he snapped a photo with his phone, he said.
“All of a sudden they started walking then running through the woods,” he said of the bipedal creatures. “When they began to run, the lady said ‘I’m leaving’ and left. I stayed a few more seconds and then thought there may be a way for them to cross here so I left, scared.”
Arceneaux said he could see the face of the creature “clear as day.” There was hair from the mouth down like a man and when the creature turned he could see hair hanging down its arm.
Disturbed by what he saw, Arceneaux went home and watched an episode of “Finding Bigfoot” but had to change the channel when they played an audio recording of Bigfoot — it was too real.
“This is my first time back here since December,” he said.
Arceneaux said he spoke to a game warden, describing the situation, and was told there had been other sightings along the Neches River. Calls placed to a local game warden was not returned by Tuesday afternoon.
There are a number of organizations throughout the state that researches and documents Bigfoot sightings. Groups such as Texas Bigfoot Research Conservancy and Gulf Coast Bigfoot Research Organization. These groups strive to find evidence to scientifically prove the existence of the creature.
Jerry Hestand of Texas Bigfoot Research Conservancy said there have been reports of sightings in the Big Thicket area and he has had personal experiences at the Lance Rosier Unit in the Thicket.
Hestand said one of the creatures entered his camp and growled at one of the dogs. The dog, he said, growled back but by the time the men jumped up from their tents the creature was gone. Hestand said the group was part of an episode of a Travel Channel show called Weird Travels in which Bigfoot vocalizations were played.
“There is a sound on the Internet called the Ohio howl,” Hestand said. “That’s exactly what we heard clearly and distinctly.”
Arceneaux said he did not come forward with his story sooner because he worried about what others would think of him. He has shown this photographic evidence — which was taken at a far distance with a cell phone — to friends and family and only had one person scoff. He will continue to research Bigfoot, he said, but remains wary of returning to the spot where the encounter occurred. - PANews
The alleged Bigfoot images lightened:
As pointed out so many times in the past, what appears to be a dark and/or black area in a photo is usually only how it appeared on camera and certainly not in the real world with the naked eye.
Upon my viewing the images after the back-lighting was increased, there is no doubt that this person made up a story to go with his photo that he was able detect imaginary shapes in that others might fall for.
The lightened images show there was no Bigfoot there, thus any reference to seeing them squat, walk away, run, or doing anything else is an obvious tale concocted to hoax the reader or listener.
Other tell-tale signs came when the alleged witness said he told a woman who was with him that it wasn't him that just screamed. One must ask why he would need to say that if the woman was close to him. It wasn't like they had been separated and he was assuring her that a sound she heard in his absence was not of his making.
His mentioning the GCBRO didn't help either as it is that particular gene-pool of people who cheered MK Davis on for claiming that Green, Dahinden, a dog handler, a plane pilot, along with Roger Patterson and Bob Gimlin conspired to hide a slaughter of sub humans from the public.
The alleged witness ended his tale by saying that he waited so long before coming forward because of his concern over what others would think of his story. I'd say this guy no longers need to worry about what others think of him as I assume it will soon be apparent.
