Bigfoot In The Trees
On Sunday December 5th of 2010 I interviewed Tami Mercer on the phone for 45 minutes from her residence in Kentucky, Tami at one time lived in Lawrenceburg Kentucky in Anderson County. In the interview I took details of three incidents in her life that had a long term impact on her and still does today. As of 2010 Tami still does not like to go to windows at night and she does not like to go outside at night in the dark alone or even with someone. As she told me and relived these events I could hear her fear and I could even tell she was shaking after all these years later..
With Bigfoot the main character in two of the events and what might have been a Bigfoot in the third story with her step grandfather involved.
In the late 1970;s Tami Mercer and several of her friends were playing outside at a trailer park on the east side of Lawrenceburg Kentucky. They were just messing around playing as kids play. Tami glanced over to the east in a large field and near the tree line she thought she saw a strange looking tree. It was cold and in the winter time.
Jokingly she said "that tree is coming for us" or something of that nature and they all laughed but as they looked something happened. The strange looking tree moved. It not only moved but it moved in their direction. This large hairy creature came across the field and at the children who started to panic and run.
This creature fits the description of the creature Bigfoot. One unusual aspect of this sighting was the color. Tami stated it was a gray color and noticeably gray. Tami stated that several times before on foggy morning she would see something walking in the same area where the creature walked out of the woods.
Tami ran inside and hid in her trailer as she was convinced whatever this thing was , it was coming for them.
This sighting was on U.S. 62 on the eastern side of Lawrenceburg Kentucky and occurred in the afternoon and the sighting occurred in late November or early December of the late 1970's. A more detailed description was not possible other than large and hairy and a grayish color with long hair.
Chased By Bigfoot
In the early 1980's, possible 82 or 83, Tami and a friend were out in the area of the Wildcat Road in Anderson County Kentucky. Young teen aged girls just wandering around and walking along on frozen creeks and talking and shooting a 22 caliber rifle they had with them. As they came up to an area where they had hillsides on both sides Tami and her friend started to cross a barbed wire fence and Tami went over the fence first and as she turned to help her friend she heard what she said was a "heavy" sound on the hillside. The hillside was typical of Kentucky hillsides with a mixture of Dirt and rock. As both girls looked up what their eyes saw froze them.
Tami said it was like she was trying to think what she was seeing but what she was seeing was not something that made sense to her brain. In her mind she was thinking is that a man or is that a bear but she knew it was neither. Standing on the side of the hill was a huge bi-pedal creature with long hair. According to Tami the reason they looked up to the area where the creature was standing was because it was doing something and making noise. She was not able to tell what it was doing but was certain it was involved in some kind of activity and when Tami said " Oh Sh**!, What is that? " the creature turned and looked at them. When it did the girls ran as fast as they could. The creature then pursued them. The girls could hear the creature coming through the woods behind them and Tami stated that somehow it was gaining on them and it must have been very fast as they were fast and running as hard as they could and how this huge creature could not only run this far but start to catch them, she just doesn't understand.
She could hear branches breaking and crunching sounds as it seemed to be gaining on two girls who were very fast runners. Tami said she never looked back she just ran as fast and hard as she could.
As the terrified girls ran they came out of the woods and into a clearing (open field) and when they did the creature stopped and did not pursue them any further.
Tami said the creature was dark in color and had long hair that was not matted but looked unusual. It was huge and bi-pedal. This sighting occurred in the winter and in the afternoon. Tami stated she thinks this event took place in 1982 or 83..
It seems that whatever the creature was doing occupied it to a level that someone shooting a gun or talking and laughing had no impact.
Strange Creature in the Night
In the mid 1980;s Tami was visiting with her step grandparents who lived near the Mercer and Anderson County Line. Things had had been happening at night that kept upsetting her grandfathers dogs. One night while she was visiting she heard something at the window and looked around and thought it was her grandfather outside messing around and trying to scare her.
She walked over to the window where she heard the noise and through the curtains back expecting to see her grandfather. But it was not her grandfather she saw. What she saw was a huge hairy creature looking in the window and it had no nose nor mouth. She panicked and ran.
From the information she later gathered her step Grandfather was outside and something happened to him that involved a light. When her Grandfather came back into the house he was mumbling and dazed.
He was not able to remember anything that happened outside and he also apparently had memory loss for that time period as this happened very near Christmas and he could never even remember Christmas of that year and time.
All she knows after that is when he grandfather went outside there was some kind of light and something happened to her grandfather and when he came back in he had no memory of what happened. Tami stated his entire life he never could remember what happened when he went outside but he knows something did happen..
Tami stated the creature looking in the window as huge and did look like the other two Sasquatch she had seen but this creatures hair was somehow different even though it was covered with hair. Tami also said the face had no hair nor did it have a nose for certain, and maybe no mouth but she could see the eyes clearly.
Tami often thinks about why she is someone who had these events on her life and she also told me that she thinks over and over what that creature was doing on that hillside and what would have happened if it had caught them. These events and sightings have caused a deep impact on her and causes her to reflect on these events often
All three of these events happened in the winter time in Ky..and Tami thinks they were between November and January.
More information is being gathered and further information will soon be posted..
Stay Tuned.
