BIGFOOT IN FROG MOUNTAIN?

Strange occurrences in Frog Mountain were nothing new to the earlier settlers there.  According to stories handed down one would think they had landed in the twilight zone with everything from headless men who grew and shrank at will to floating lights.

In the 1970's a new epidemic of strange and unexplained sightings began.  Strange lights were being reported seen in and around the area.  These were not the lights that were seen in earlier years, but what people and news media was questioning as ufo's.  Radio stations as far as 50 miles away were reporting these in other rural areas as well.

   Then, there was the giant foot prints,  Bigfoot prints, found on Frog Mountain.  Were they Bigfoot prints?  It was reported, all the way down one side of the mountain a series of prints were tracked with numerous broken branches and small trees broken along the way.
Twenty miles away near the Talladega National Forest a man reported a big hairy creature, Bigfoot, crossing the road in front of him early one morning a few months before.  Some laughed, while others were skeptical, but in every one's mind, is there Bigfoot creatures, and do we possibly really have one or more living in our area.

In every area of the world whether it is bizarre happenings or--Sasquach, Himalayan Beast, Great Bear, Kikomba, Raksha, Meh-teh, Yowie, Yeti, or the Abominable Snowman, there are yet unsolved mysteries.  Because of recent questions and findings in our area along with the  regular happenings we will be posting some local stories of these occurrence and our findings in the coming weeks.

Also to be published in the coming weeks, for those who are curious about this place called Frog Mountain, Frog Mountain Memories, a memoir of yesteryear in Frog Mountain, and what it was like growing up in this rural community.
