A 15-foot Bigfoot snuck up behind a hunter and grabbed his foot in a terrifying encounter, according to a researcher into the mythical creature.

Bigfoot creatures, also known as sasquatches, have never been proven to exist but there are countless people who claimed to have seen them – describing the monsters as huge, two-legged furry animals.

One such sighting was reported to author and researcher W.J. Sheehan (known as Bill), who recalled it on the Forest Fleur podcast.

He said a man had written to him detailing a chilling encounter where he had supposedly come face to face with one of these creatures while on a hunting expedition in a forest in Tennessee, US.

Bill claimed the experience began with a sudden eruption of hooting noises, which was supposedly the creature imitating the call of an owl through the fog in front of him.
