10 jul 1946 año - Illinois Police Encounter

Descripción:

Tom Griffin, an Illinois police officer was fishing early in the morning. While he was eating the cheese sandwich he made for his lunch, he heard some very violent splashing coming from a few hundred yards away, down river. Thinking maybe a bear or maybe some deer were crossing the river, he continued on with his lunch. When the splashing got closer, Griffin became more alarmed. If not for his safety, then for the integrity of his fishing lines. He stood up and walked a little way down stream, keeping an eye on his belongings. He heard a low muttering growl, then saw an eight foot tall monster splashing around in the middle of the river. Griffin turned right around and ran out of the woods. A few hours later he returned with a few other policemen to gather up his fishing rods and cooler. He never told anyone about the bathing Bigfoot, though he did write it down in the front of his family bible. The story was found after Griffin’s death by his daughter, who has no reason to discount her father, since he was a very honest man.
