A group of recent high school graduates from Houma, Louisiana, found themselves in a state of panic after allegedly encountering a creature resembling Bigfoot with "glowing eyes" during a camping trip in Kisatchie National Forest, RadarOnline.com has learned.
The chilling incident, which took place about 100 miles northwest of Baton Rouge, prompted the teens to alert the authorities at the Natchitoches Parish Sheriff’s Office.
Teens spotted the large animal shortly after setting up camp approximately a mile and a half off Back Bone Trail in Kisatchie National Forest.
According to the New York Post, the teenagers, aged 17 and 18, reported spotting the large animal shortly after setting up camp approximately a mile and a half off Back Bone Trail in southern Natchitoches Parish.
They described hearing a growl and seeing an animal standing about 5 feet tall with glowing eyes around 9:20 p.m. on June 28.
The teens claimed to have seen a creature with glowing eyes in the forest.
Upon receiving the distress call, deputies promptly responded to the scene. The officers located the frightened teens at the campsite but found no signs of the purported creature.
The teenagers were safely escorted out of the forest without any harm.
Despite conducting a thorough search, the sheriff’s office stated, "Deputies were unable to locate any suspicious activity involving a growl with glowing eyes and standing 5 feet tall."
The law enforcement officials commended the teens on their recent graduation and wished them well in their future endeavors.
Bigfoot sightings have been reported since the 19th century.
This is not the first reported Bigfoot sighting within the vast Kisatchie National Forest.
In 2019, two self-proclaimed Bigfoot researchers, known as "Tex-La" and Claude, disclosed their alleged visual and audio evidence of the cryptid's existence in the dense woods.
The researchers deployed camouflaged cameras and audio devices to capture footage and sound recordings, which included mysterious howls. They also uncovered footprints and peculiar tree limb markings believed to be associated with Bigfoot.
Tex-La emphasized, "It's something you have to approach with an open mind."
