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 [email protected] or you can share you story on my Discord server at rivercitymystery.com/discord.   Links mentioned in episode: Bill's YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@billthreet1022 Bigfoot Field Researchers Organization:  https://bfro.net/ Washington County BFRO report:  https://bfro.net/GDB/show_report.asp?id=65589 Martin County BFRO report:  https://bfro.net/GDB/show_report.asp?id=60871 Indiana Bigfoot Researchers Organization Facebook Page:  https://www.facebook.com/groups/IBROrganization/ Map of the Turkey Fork area of Interstate 64 (88 mile marker) where Angela had her encounter:  https://www.rivercitymystery.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/TurkeyFork.jpg
