Edward Henry and his son, 12, shared their spooky ordeal with Bigfoot Field Researchers Organization (BFRO), a group in Akron, Ohio, which investigates and publishes reported sightings.
Henry told the Bigfoot chasers that he and his boy had been out fishing in Monroe County, Michigan, on May 18, when all of a sudden they got the fright of their lives.
They had gone out to a fishing spot behind a jail, located near a quarry in an area north of Plum Creek.
My son said 'holy s**t what was that? It was as big as a bear but it looked like a gorilla'
Witness, Edward Henry
His report to
"We walked down the creek [Plum Creek] past four bridges [railroad bridges] and headed into the marsh.
"100 yards into the marsh the dog scared up something that was bedded there. Trees were shaking. We thought it was a group of deer."
Assuming nothing was amiss, they continued a further 200 yards to the creek basin in the marsh.
His report dramatically added, "All of a sudden I heard rustling in a tree to the left and a huge thud hitting the ground from the tree.

"A big heavy animal hit the ground and crouched and start moving towards me through brush.
I'm a Bigfoot hunter - the most shocking sightings I've encountered and what I believe is the beast's true origin story
"My dog fired off from the right of me toward the creature."
QUICK ESCAPE
He added, "The dog almost got to it but the creature shot off extremely fast through trees and brush.
"The dog chased the creature up the slope and over the train tracks. I then called for my dog to come back.
"My son said 'holy s**t what was that? It was as big as a bear but it looked like a gorilla!'
"We walked back, but we heard something crunching on the ground behind us. We left!"
It was a large dark furred primate that ran up a slope on two legs looking like a gorilla from behind. Yes, that would be a Bigfoot.
BFRO Investigator Matthew Moneymaker
BFRO Investigator Matthew Moneymaker said in his follow-up investigation report that he had spoken with "Edward and his son by phone, separately.
"Both are credible and freshly descriptive about what happened to them this morning."
Moneymaker said the dad, aged 47, "was born and raised in the area. He earns a good living working in the demolition trade."
Henry was grilled on how the animal reacted.
The BFRO member added, "I asked enough to discern that it was not a bear.
"It was a large dark furred primate that ran up a slope on two legs looking like a gorilla from behind. Yes, that would be a Bigfoot."
BIG BUM
Moneymaker said the animal was reported as being "roughly 10 feet up the tree when it jumped down.
"At no time was it facing the two humans.
"The point at which they got the clearest look at it was when it was ascending the embankment.
"They could see the hairy back and big butt cheeks pretty clearly for a few seconds."
HUNCHED OVER
His report said the animal had not been witnessed moving on all fours.
Instead, "it raced up the slope on two legs but hunched forward.
"In its hunched posture it was nearly six feet tall. The son said it would have been much taller if not hunched over."
Unfortunately, the incident happened so quickly that the shocked pair didn't have time to photograph the mystery creature.
The whole encounter lasted less than ten seconds from beginning to end, according to the report.
Moneymaker added, "It happened totally by surprise. No one would have gotten a photo of it in that first shock interval."
HUNGRY BEAST
He also explained there was plenty of prey for a Bigfoot to hunt - especially deer.
His report noted, "This area around the marsh for Tamarack Creek is full of deer. No hunting is allowed there. Only fishing is allowed there.
"Consequently there are herds of deer in the marsh and woods year round.
"There are lots of cattails around this marsh as well. Therefore, two things Bigfoots consume, especially in winter: cattails and deer. There are likely other food sources around this marsh as well.
"Bigfoot look for deer so they will sometimes end up in pockets of woods near towns like Monroe when there is enough plants and animals to sustain them."
More on the Bigfoot/sasquatch mystery
For more than four centuries, people have reported seeing large, hair-covered, man-like animals in the wilderness areas of North America, according to the
It adds, "Real or not, these reports are often made by people of unimpeachable character.
"For over seventy years, people have been finding, photographing, and casting sets of very large human-shaped tracks.
"Most are discovered by chance in remote areas. These tracks continue to be found to this day.
"It is a fact that the cultural histories of many Native American and First Nation peoples include stories and beliefs about non-human 'peoples' of the wild.
"Many of these descriptions bear a striking resemblance to the hairy man-like creatures reported today."

One said on social media, "Y'all, if Bigfoot did exist, no way in hell is he choosing to live in Monroe."
Another joked, "I heard Elvis was there too."
But one believer wrote, "There have been stories of Bigfoot sightings for many years, as well as other strange things in the downriver area."
And a fellow Bigfoot fan agreed, "I have long suspected this area of having Sasquatch activity.

"It's entertaining to see the comments from people who have never spoken to those who've had a life-altering encounter, never been out and found the tracks etc. Instead, they ridicule."
The alleged sighting comes several months after an eerie encounter spooked a hunter in Pennsylvania.

Warning that gardeners are risking huge £5,000 fines for mowing their lawns this weekend during certain hours
GARDENERS have been warned not to mow their lawns during certain hours this weekend to avoid paying a hefty fine. Anyone caught with a lawn mower risks forking out a whopping £5,000. Advertisement 1 Mowing the grass Credit: Getty Brits could be Many would be tempted to make the best out of the weather and tend to their gardens. Regularly giving your lawn a fresh cut helps to promote healthy growth, prevent stress on the grass, and improve air circulation. However, you have to be wary what time of the day you bring out your lawn mower out of the shed. Advertisement read more on fabulous Although there is no law stopping you from mowing your lawn during certain hours, you could get in trouble with your local council. They could issue a Noise Abatement Notice if you create noise disturbance during the prohibited hours. On weekdays, it is normally accepted to make noise between 8am and 8pm. However, on weekends, people have been advised to keep it quiet before 9am and after 7pm. Advertisement Most read in Fabulous East Coast Fencing says: 'Most people naturally opt for weekends to complete household and garden chores, including mowing the lawn. 'However, weekends are also when noise complaints tend to rise as families aim to relax or catch up on sleep. 'To prevent frustrations, pay extra attention to the timing of your mowing on Saturdays and Sundays.' I turned my bare front garden into a vibrant green lawn in DAYS thanks to a £4 buy from Asda - the grass grew like wildfire Those who don't abide by the rules could get fined for up to £5,000 for disturbance during unsociable hours. Advertisement Daniel McAfee, Head of Legal Operations at 'This is not an empty threat - these fines are real, and local authorities do enforce them.' Luckily, experts have revealed that mowing too early can cause damage to your grass by exposing it to disease and fungal infections. The spring the best time to mow your lawn is between 9 am and 11 am. Advertisement Gardening mistakes that could get you fined Gardening experts over at Toolstation have revealed the garden laws you need to be aware of not breaking. While some of these laws could land you with a fine of up to £20,000 in extreme cases, a friendly chat with your neighbours can usually resolve any issues. Tree removal and pruning : If you have a tree in your garden you want to get rid of you better think twice and do your research. The gardening experts reveal: 'If one neighbour wishes to remove or heavily prune a tree that the other neighbour values, disputes can arise over the impact on the view, shade, or privacy. " While it might cause a row, if it is in your property boundary it is ultimately your choice, unless it has a Tree Protection Order on it. 'But, some trees may be protected by a Tree Protection Order which makes it an offence to uproot, top or destroy them, the experts warn. The maximum fine for breaking this law is £20,000, so make sure you double check if it does have a TPO. You can find out by contacting your local council for a map that shows this information. Alternatively, you can ask to speak with your local tree officer. Property boundaries and fences : One of the main causes of neighbours falling out is through arguing over property boundaries and fencing. To avoid this situation, the gardening pros recommend checking the deeds of your property to determine the correct boundaries 'Most of the time, it's easy to determine who owns the fence as the fence posts will usually be on the owners side," they add. 'Additionally, the height of fences or hedges can cause disputes between neighbours if one party feels the height has exceeded the two metre guidance. "Hedges and fences should be no more than two metres high, and you could be asked by the council to take them down if a neighbour complains about the height. "Luckily, standard fence sizes are less than two metres tall so you shouldn't have a problem.' Garden structures and additions : A pergola is the perfect addition to a garden if you want somewhere to relax in the shade. But if it obstructs your neighbour's view or violates local building regulations it could cause a dispute, as can sheds and other garden structures. 'If you're not sure, have a chat with your neighbours to let them know what you're planning and, if there's an issue, get in touch with your local council who can give you more guidance," advise the gardening experts. Overhanging branches and plants : 'When branches, vines, or roots from one neighbour's tree or plant extend into the neighbouring property, it can lead to disagreements over potential damage to structures, blocked views, or the burden of maintenance," reveal the pros. However, it's important to note you can only trim overhanging branches up to the boundary of your property otherwise, it could be seen as trespassing. You can climb into the tree to carry out the work if needed, but only on your property and make sure to stay on your side of the fence if you don't have permission to enter your neighbours garden.

House where Last Supper occurred 'still standing' millennia later
Archaeologists have claimed that the house where the Last Supper is said to have occurred is still standing over 2,000 years later. The room where Jesus Christ had his supper with his 12 disciples before his crucifixion was mentioned in the book of Luke 22:11-13, which saw Jesus ask for a large, furnished upper room of a house so they could have their passover meal. The room, also known as the Cenacle on Mount Zion in Jerusalem, is a tourist attraction and prayer room — and despite it being said as the room where the famed supper occurred, there was a lack of archaeological excavation that could confirm if the room was around during Jesus' time. Archaeologists have claimed that the house where the Last Supper is said to have occurred is still standing over 2,000 years later. Pic: sedmak/Getty There have been several ancient depictions of the house, which had limestone walls and a red sloping roof, including in 1585 when a fourth century carving saw Jesus before Mary Magdalene post resurrection with a distinctive slanted roof in the background. Other illustrations depicting what appears to be proof of the house include in 1846, when a sixth century illustration found in Italy depicted Jesus entering the old city of Jerusalem on a donkey with the Cenacle visible in the background. Greek Orthodox Christians also found what was thought to be the earliest map of Jerusalem that dated back to 560 AD, with the map showcasing the Cardo Maximus and two structures at the southern end of the map that were identifiable by red roofs. The Cenacle in Mount Zion, where the Last Supper is said to have occurred. Pic: Richard T. Nowitz/Getty Images In more recent times, the Israel Antiquities Authority (IAA) underwent peeling back the modifications of the Cenacle using laser technology and photographic imaging to try and uncover what state it would have been in during the time of the Last Supper. After intense scanning of the room to create 'accurate models of the space,' features that were previously unknown were discovered, including obscure artwork such as Agnus Dei (the Lamb of God) and the Lion of Judah on the ceiling. 'The lion was the symbol of King David,' Amit Re'em of the IAA told Fox News at the time. 'According to ancient scriptures, Jesus was a descendent of King David.' Pic: minoandriani/Getty Images Despite the historical significance of the room, it still cannot be confirmed 100% if that is indeed where the Last Supper took place; with Mr Re'em saying at the time that further research is needed. 'From time to time, when we have an opportunity, we're continuing to document other parts of the holy complex,' he said. 'I hope that maybe, in the future, we will have the opportunity to conduct a small-scale classical archaeological investigation.'
