Bigfoot News From Pine Ridge
Posted by: Loren Coleman on July 5th, 2009
Photographs taken of large footprints in April 2009, on the Pine Ridge, South Dakota’s Lakota reservation allegedly belong to Bigfoot. The footprints were found on land belonging to Charles Waters.

According to Gloria Yellow Boy, there was a disturbance outside of her home after dark on April 14. “The dog barked and barked that night,” she said. “Bigfoot” screams sound real strange. The sound “gives you chills,” she said.
She lives near Wolf Creek Community building east of Pine Ridge. “I don’t know what it looks like because I have never seen it, but I think it may have killed our dogs in the past. Once we had a dog named Angus and we found him with his head twisted around. Whatever killed him tore his throat out. There were also wounds on his stomach.”
“We live on a flat area of the prairie. I hear the Bigfoot like to hang around trees, maybe they have a trail that runs near our place,” she said. “One time the Bigfoot was right outside the house, my daughter looked out the window and saw it standing next to the van. She said it had red eyes.”
Due to the quiet, closed nature of the community, a contact from there just forwarded me this info.
About Loren Coleman
Loren Coleman is one of the world’s leading cryptozoologists, some say “the” leading living cryptozoologist. Certainly, he is acknowledged as the current living American researcher and writer who has most popularized cryptozoology in the late 20th and early 21st centuries.
Starting his fieldwork and investigations in 1960, after traveling and trekking extensively in pursuit of cryptozoological mysteries, Coleman began writing to share his experiences in 1969. An honorary member of Ivan T. Sanderson’s Society for the Investigation of the Unexplained in the 1970s, Coleman has been bestowed with similar honorary memberships of the North Idaho College Cryptozoology Club in 1983, and in subsequent years, that of the British Columbia Scientific Cryptozoology Club, CryptoSafari International, and other international organizations. He was also a Life Member and Benefactor of the International Society of Cryptozoology (now-defunct).
Loren Coleman’s daily blog, as a member of the Cryptomundo Team, served as an ongoing avenue of communication for the ever-growing body of cryptozoo news from 2005 through 2013. He returned as an infrequent contributor beginning Halloween week of 2015.
Coleman is the founder in 2003, and current director of the International Cryptozoology Museum in Portland, Maine.
The Lakota say when the Big Man shows up it is a sign of troubles to come, a warning.
Everything in her description was pretty textbook, nothing really intriguing there. The footprint is interesting, though of course no one thought to put another object next to it to compare its size.
I guess I see markings at the end of the print that sort of suggest toes, but the shape and outline look like a big shoe to me.
Of course, from the photo you can’t get a real close look at things…
The photo looks like some of the prints we’ve found around the Pollock Pines CA area off of US 50 near the Sly Park exit. It appears to have to have been taken in very hard soil which isn’t going to give much of a clear print. It does appear to have the characteristic double ball.
I don’t see evidence of any type of shoe or boot pattern and I wonder if it could be a place where people go barefoot. As stated it needed something next to it to indicate size.
Yeah, the soil appears too hard to give a clear print – but I find the detail about the dead dogs interesting. Evidence, perhaps, of Sasquatch’s omnivorous nature?
I seem to remember reading that Sasquatch have always had it out for dogs. Sasquatch/human encounters are likely to be peaceful, unless you have a dog, in which case the ape may become aggressive.
This report would seem consistent with that claim.
I’ve always heard that Saquatch is omnivorous, Scott C..
So I agree with you. Does not surprise me.
I remember reading an eyewitness report once of Sasquatch killing a dog by hitting it ONCE in the head with a stone. Their strength was such that all it took was one blow. So yep, Ole Hairy seems to “have it in” for Fido.
Well, it’s not even like we should be shocked that dog is on the menu – after all, even humans have been known to eat dog in certain parts of the world.
I’d not only like to see a size referent but a bigger photo. Can we get that?
