The tranquility of the Garden of the Gods in southern Illinois can quickly turn unsettling. Two hikers found that out the hard way, and their story is one to share.
I think it's safe to say everyone has experienced the sense that something unseen is watching you. Now, imagine that happening when you're alone in the woods. That's exactly what happened recently to a woman in the central part of Illinois.
A truck driver just outside of Pekin, Illinois saw something around 8 feet tall along the roadside and he's shared his full name and exact location of the encounter.
As of this date, there is no evidence that anyone has ever captured or shot a Sasquatch, Bigfoot, Mo-Mo or whatever name you prefer to call the mythical creature that many claim inhabits our woods. There's one Illinois man who says that's not true. He says he really did shoot at a Bigfoot.
If you grew up in a small rural Illinois community, you know there are some summer days when there's not a lot going on. That changed one August afternoon near Wilburn, Illinois as an eyewitness has shared the story of 2 "strange beasts" he saw in a nearby creek.
