A BIGFOOT group has hailed a 'credible' new sighting after a dad and son saw a mystery creature's 'hairy back and big butt cheeks.'
The pair were out fishing in the woods - when all of a sudden they 'heard rustling in a tree and a huge thud hitting the ground.'

Edward Henry and his son, 12, shared their spooky ordeal with Bigfoot Field Researchers Organization (BFRO), a group in Akron, Ohio, which investigates and publishes reported sightings.
Henry told the Bigfoot chasers that he and his boy had been out fishing in Monroe County, Michigan, on May 18, when all of a sudden they got the fright of their lives.
They had gone out to a fishing spot behind a jail, located near a quarry in an area north of Plum Creek.
My son said 'holy s**t what was that? It was as big as a bear but it looked like a gorilla'
Witness, Edward Henry
His report to
"We walked down the creek [Plum Creek] past four bridges [railroad bridges] and headed into the marsh.
"100 yards into the marsh the dog scared up something that was bedded there. Trees were shaking. We thought it was a group of deer."
Assuming nothing was amiss, they continued a further 200 yards to the creek basin in the marsh.
His report dramatically added, "All of a sudden I heard rustling in a tree to the left and a huge thud hitting the ground from the tree.

"A big heavy animal hit the ground and crouched and start moving towards me through brush.
I'm a Bigfoot hunter - the most shocking sightings I've encountered and what I believe is the beast's true origin story
"My dog fired off from the right of me toward the creature."
QUICK ESCAPE
He added, "The dog almost got to it but the creature shot off extremely fast through trees and brush.
"The dog chased the creature up the slope and over the train tracks. I then called for my dog to come back.
"My son said 'holy s**t what was that? It was as big as a bear but it looked like a gorilla!'
"We walked back, but we heard something crunching on the ground behind us. We left!"
It was a large dark furred primate that ran up a slope on two legs looking like a gorilla from behind. Yes, that would be a Bigfoot.
BFRO Investigator Matthew Moneymaker
BFRO Investigator Matthew Moneymaker said in his follow-up investigation report that he had spoken with "Edward and his son by phone, separately.
"Both are credible and freshly descriptive about what happened to them this morning."
Moneymaker said the dad, aged 47, "was born and raised in the area. He earns a good living working in the demolition trade."
Henry was grilled on how the animal reacted.
The BFRO member added, "I asked enough to discern that it was not a bear.
"It was a large dark furred primate that ran up a slope on two legs looking like a gorilla from behind. Yes, that would be a Bigfoot."
BIG BUM
Moneymaker said the animal was reported as being "roughly 10 feet up the tree when it jumped down.
"At no time was it facing the two humans.
"The point at which they got the clearest look at it was when it was ascending the embankment.
"They could see the hairy back and big butt cheeks pretty clearly for a few seconds."
HUNCHED OVER
His report said the animal had not been witnessed moving on all fours.
Instead, "it raced up the slope on two legs but hunched forward.
"In its hunched posture it was nearly six feet tall. The son said it would have been much taller if not hunched over."
Unfortunately, the incident happened so quickly that the shocked pair didn't have time to photograph the mystery creature.
The whole encounter lasted less than ten seconds from beginning to end, according to the report.
Moneymaker added, "It happened totally by surprise. No one would have gotten a photo of it in that first shock interval."
HUNGRY BEAST
He also explained there was plenty of prey for a Bigfoot to hunt - especially deer.
His report noted, "This area around the marsh for Tamarack Creek is full of deer. No hunting is allowed there. Only fishing is allowed there.
"Consequently there are herds of deer in the marsh and woods year round.
"There are lots of cattails around this marsh as well. Therefore, two things Bigfoots consume, especially in winter: cattails and deer. There are likely other food sources around this marsh as well.
"Bigfoot look for deer so they will sometimes end up in pockets of woods near towns like Monroe when there is enough plants and animals to sustain them."
More on the Bigfoot/sasquatch mystery
For more than four centuries, people have reported seeing large, hair-covered, man-like animals in the wilderness areas of North America, according to the
It adds, "Real or not, these reports are often made by people of unimpeachable character.
"For over seventy years, people have been finding, photographing, and casting sets of very large human-shaped tracks.
"Most are discovered by chance in remote areas. These tracks continue to be found to this day.
"It is a fact that the cultural histories of many Native American and First Nation peoples include stories and beliefs about non-human 'peoples' of the wild.
"Many of these descriptions bear a striking resemblance to the hairy man-like creatures reported today."
An article about the alleged sighting in
One said on social media, "Y'all, if Bigfoot did exist, no way in hell is he choosing to live in Monroe."
Another joked, "I heard Elvis was there too."
But one believer wrote, "There have been stories of Bigfoot sightings for many years, as well as other strange things in the downriver area."
And a fellow Bigfoot fan agreed, "I have long suspected this area of having Sasquatch activity.

"It's entertaining to see the comments from people who have never spoken to those who've had a life-altering encounter, never been out and found the tracks etc. Instead, they ridicule."
The alleged sighting comes several months after an eerie encounter spooked a hunter in Pennsylvania.

'When kids are home from school, the sheer volume of simultaneous streaming, gaming, and video calls puts immense pressure on shared networks, leading to noticeable slowdowns and buffering at all times of the day.

It might seem like the ideal privacy hedge but gardener warns bamboo will crack your patio & crush pipes

ADDING some extra privacy to your garden has been at the top of loads of homeowner's do-to lists this summer. But while opting for a bamboo fence can have loads of benefits , there are certain issues people often forget about.

Thanks to how fast it grows, bamboo is a popular choice in replacements of fencing. But what started out as a quick alternative to a privacy fence can quickly get out of hand and crack paving stones, crush pipes and more. Different types of bamboo can have different types of stems and roots, which can all cause damage. Advertisement READ MORE ON GARDENS In fact, it's not just your home bamboo can damage, during growing season it can block out light from other plants and even strangle them. That doesn't mean you need to steer clear of bamboo altogether though, according to Harry there a few easy ways to control it. He reccomended looking for a 'clumping' variety of bamboo, since they're stems wont cause issues to pavements and pipes. "They are a much safer option for home gardens than their running counterparts," he told Advertisement Most read in Fabulous Exclusive But if you do opt for running bamboo, the pro suggesting installing root guards to keep everything in place. "You can purchase thick sheets made of strong plastic or metal, which should be buried around two to three feet deep into the ground. 6 Reasons Bamboo May Not Be Ideal for Your British Garden "If you make sure that the ends overlap well and are sealed tightly, these sheets should form an effective barrier to stop rhizomes from finding a way to spread further into your garden and the rest of your property," he explained. And if you already have bamboo in your garden that's getting out of control, there's no time to waste when it comes to controlling it. Advertisement One simple way you can do this is by digging a trench around the area twice a year and then cut down rhizomes that cross it. You could also cut down new shoots as soon as the spring up in any undesired spots. But be warned, getting rid of bamboo altogether can be a challenge as it's more pervasive than even Japanese Knotweed. HOW TO SPOT A JAPANESE KNOTWEED HOW to spot Japanese Knotweed and what to do if you find it. GARDENING expert, Kendal Platt, who runs Adventures with Flowers, said: "Japanese knotweed shoots look similar to bamboo shoots growing 2- 3metres tall". They are hollow and coloured red in the Spring and turn green in the summer. Their leaves which appear in Spring are shield or heart-shaped with a pointed tip and grow at staggered intervals along the length of the shoots. They can grow up to 20cm long and die back in winter leaving just the brown dead looking canes above ground. The flowers appear in late summer as bunches of creamy white flowers growing in amongst the leaves. It spreads through its rhizomes (underground root system) which are dark brown on the outside and orange on the inside. They can burrow up to 3 metres under ground causing damage to buildings and break easily, so can be hard to remove completely. If you find it in your garden it's important to call in a specialist Japanese Knotweed removal company. They use a glyphosate based herbicide which when injected into the plant at the right time of year can kill it. It may take a few years of repeated application to eradicate the plant completely from your property which is why many removal companies recommend a glyphosate treatment programme over a number of years.
