A group of recent high school graduates from Houma, Louisiana, had a chilling encounter in Kisatchie National Forest last week when they claimed to have come face-to-face with a creature resembling Bigfoot. The teenagers, aged 17 to 18, who were camping to celebrate their graduation, called in distress to the Natchitoches Parish Sheriff’s Office.
According to the NPSO, one of the teens became panicked after hearing a growling sound and spotting a figure standing about 5 feet tall with glowing eyes. They immediately called emergency services for rescue. Deputies from the NPSO Patrol Operations Bureau responded to the call and cautiously approached the campsite.

After locating the group using their whistle, the deputies ensured their safety and escorted them out of the forest. Despite investigating the claims, authorities could not find any evidence to support the group’s description of the creature. The NPSO, in concluding their statement, congratulated the graduates, thanked them for visiting the area, and wished them success in their future endeavors.
Skepticism greeted the encounter on social media, with many doubting the teenagers’ account. Some suggested that the glowing eyes might have been a reflection from a flashlight, potentially from local wildlife such as a black bear or wild hog. Others applauded the teens for their decision to seek assistance rather than navigate the forest alone while frightened. Some users jokingly speculated that the group must have taken a substance or drug that led them to see imaginary creatures.

Interestingly, this encounter follows previous reports of Bigfoot activity in Kisatchie National Forest. In 2019, two researchers known as Tex-La and Claude conducted a nighttime expedition where they exchanged howls with a supposed Bigfoot. According to Tex-La, they used audio devices and cameras camouflaged among the trees to gather evidence. These researchers believe that twisted tree limbs and mysterious markers could indicate Bigfoot’s presence, but acknowledged that people are often hesitant to come forward due to intimidation.

A not invited to the party fellow graduate pulling a prank.
A brown bear just as scared as the city kids were!!!
A distinct possibility as is someone who was aware of the planned trip wanting to prank the group . A daylight search might produce foot prints or other evidence
Two city kids buy dope go on weekend camping trip. First time ever in the woods after dark. Used dope and saw big foot!!!
Big foot was most likely a brown bear and most likely these were really stupid city kids!!!
Why was Hillary even there?
Burying some bodies.

Once again, a giant figure reported and no photos or videos despite everyone having a smartphone with just such capabilities.
The BS flag is up on this one.
Most likely a prank. I mean no evidence of any creature having been present?
People so starved for attention is so sad.
Parents, please pay attention to your kids.
Sounds Like There May have Been Some Drugs Involved?-Mushrooms?-L.S.D.?
