    #14 Bigfoot Encounters Near the Hoosier National Forest

    #14 Bigfoot Encounters Near the Hoosier National Forest

    Multiple bigfoot encounters have been reported in the Hoosier National Forest since 2017.  The Bigfoot Field Researchers Organization (BFRO) website contains a catalog of fairly recently reported encounters from the region, including a report in 2018 from Martin County and a report in 2020 from Washington County.
    This episode includes an interview I had with Angela, who had an encounter in June, 2022, while driving eastbound on Interstate 64 between Evansville, Indiana, and Louisville, Kentucky.  The encounter occurred near mile marker 88 at Turkey Fork.  See below for link to map.
    I also interview Bill, an army veteran and avid hunter who had 3 encounters within a few miles of Shoals, Indiana, between 2017 and 2019.  
    If you've had an encounter in southern Indiana, southern Illinois, or western Kentucky, reach out to me at matt@rivercitymystery.com or you can share you story on my Discord server at rivercitymystery.com/discord.
