LEXINGTON, Ky. (WKYT) In October researchers in Dallas released new information from the Sasquatch Genome Project claiming there is now DNA evidence proving Bigfoot is indeed no longer a myth, but rather a human hybrid living among us.
During that announcement video of what researchers believe is a female sleeping near Crittenden, Ky was also released.
Whether you think the video is real or not, according to researchers there have been hundreds of sightings of the creature here in the state.
So is it fact or fiction?
WKYT's Amber Philpott hits the trail with one Kentucky man who is always searching for Bigfoot.
Along a quiet country road in Henry county there isn't much out of the ordinary, or is there?
"I heard a g-r-r-r and I just froze, crickets stopped, it was an eery silence," said Bruce Tandy.
The night of September 27th Tandy says he was pulling onto a road in Henry county leaving a friend's home.
What happened next after flipping on his headlights still has the veteran farmer and hunter spooked.
"That's when sitting right there on the road in my rear view mirror was something, and all I saw was like the mid section of a big hairy creature that had arms with fur about 3-4 inches long," said Tandy.
Tandy still can't be sure what he saw that night.
"I was scared to death, I always thought you know it would be cool to see one, not just right next to me," said Tandy.
Some will swear what Tandy encountered was Bigfoot itself.
When asked if Tandy believes he saw Bigfoot he said that was the first thing that went through his mind because he knew it wasn't a bear.
The love affair with bigfoot has been going on for decades, with countless reports and grainy sightings.
Since 1997 Charlie Raymond has headed up the Kentucky Bigfoot Research Organization and says he has 274 reports of sightings in Kentucky in his database.
"We take reports from people here in Kentucky who have seen something out of the ordinary," said Raymond.
He says Kentucky is a hotbed of activity for Bigfoot sightings with reports all across the state.
"Typically in Kentucky they are usually dark brown, little bit of red tint to it and usually stand at least seven feet tall," said Raymond.
