Bigfoot reported twice in SC so far in 2022? Here’s where the Sasquatch has been ‘seen’

The legendary, mythical creature generally called Bigfoot has been reported twice in South Carolina this year, according to the Bigfoot Field Researchers Organization.

The urban legend, also called a Sasquatch, was “seen” as recently as Aug. 7, the organization’s website claims. Most mainstream scientists dismiss the existence of the creature.

The report states that the Class A sighting was during the day in Hunting Island State Park on the Lighthouse exit road. The organization classifies an incident as a Class A sighting if it is seen “in circumstances where misinterpretations or misidentification of other animals can be ruled out with greater confidence,” the organization’s website states.

The August report notes that there were three witnesses to the incident.

“The creature was walking upright, taking strides quickly to our left, and disappeared into the bush on the left side of the road directly in front of us,” the report states. “We only witnessed the lower torso of the creature as its head and shoulders were hidden behind a pine tree and a palmetto stump on the left side of the road.”

The witnesses made their report to the Hunting Island State Park office.

An earlier report on Bigfoot this year was made on July 5 in York County. The report states that the Class B sighting was made during the day by a professional forester who identified “wood knocks.”

In the report, the forester states that he was walking along the tree line toward the west along the south edge of a power line cut near Daimler Blvd. and noticed an area where a large animal had bedded down and a very intense smell.

He also reported hearing “loud knocking sounds come from (both sides of cut),” the report states. “It didn’t sound mechanical but like wood on wood. Each time I heard one I would then hear another as if in response.”

The two Bigfoot reports are among dozens made from South Carolina since 1997, the organization’s website shows. Lee County has the most at eight reports.

Founded in 1995, Bigfoot Field Researchers Organization is now the oldest and largest organization of its kind, the organization’s website states. It uses volunteers to conclude that a report is credible, noting that, “none of the modern reports in the BFRO’s online database are made public without some kind of investigation.”
