A group of teenagers were reportedly rescued after a frightening encounter with what they described as a 'glowing-eyed and growling Bigfoot' in a Louisiana forest. Natchitoches Parish Sheriff's Deputies received a distress call from the recent high school graduates from Houma, who were deep within Kisatchie National Forest late last week.
The teens, aged 17 to 18, reported an encounter with a creature resembling 'Bigfoot' with glowing eyes, according to the Natchitoches Parish Sheriff's Office (NPSO).
The group had ventured about 1.5 miles down Back Bone Trail in southern Natchitoches Parish for a camping trip following their graduation festivities.
Their adventure took a frightening turn when one of the teens heard a growling noise and saw a mysterious figure standing approximately five feet tall with glowing eyes, prompting them to call emergency services for help.
Rescued by police
Around 21:20, Deputies from the NPSO Patrol Operations Bureau responded to the call from the NATCOM 911 Center. Deputy B. Remo and Cpl. D. Halliburton carefully approached the campsite, staying alert for any potential threats.
Following the sound of a whistle from the group, the deputies located the teenagers, who were unharmed but clearly shaken. The deputies then escorted them safely out of the forest. Despite conducting a thorough investigation, authorities were unable to find evidence supporting the teens' description of the creature.
The NPSO released a statement congratulating the graduates, expressing gratitude for their visit to Natchitoches Parish and Kisatchie National Forest, and wishing them well in their future endeavors.
