Big as a Buffalo! - My Bigfoot Sighting Episode 229

My Bigfoot Sighting Episode 229 presents two separate eyewitness accounts: Derin Franks in Alabama’s Bankhead National Forest and Catman Hero during a nighttime investigation in Middle Tennessee.

Publisher-sourced overview

Source overview

My Bigfoot Sighting Episode 229 contains two distinct witness accounts. Apple’s episode description says Derin Franks describes a 2017 deer-hunting encounter in the William B. Bankhead National Forest in northern Alabama after hearing a limb snap close behind him. The second account is attributed to Catman Hero, who describes an August 8, 2016 nighttime field investigation at a campsite in Middle Tennessee with two other investigators, where the group reported observing something partly concealed behind a tree branch.

What this item covers

  • Derin Franks’s account is placed in Bankhead National Forest, Alabama, on the final day of deer season in 2017.
  • The publisher says Franks heard a nearby limb snap before turning toward the reported figure.
  • Catman Hero’s separate account is dated August 8, 2016, during a nighttime field investigation in Middle Tennessee.
  • The episode therefore relates to two distinct SRO witness/event records and should not be treated as one encounter.
