What is Bigfoot? A ghost? An alien? A new, as-yet-unidentified species? I don’t expect we’ll learn the truth any time soon, but below you’ll find a number of sightings, reports, and tidbits regarding Bigfoot that pop up throughout 2019.

6. Bigfoot Prints Mystify Argentina

March 2019 – Two strange incidents occurred in Argentina, each involving the appearance of mysterious human-like footprints.

El Tribuno featured the story on March 26, 2019 (translated). The footprints were located on a farm in Ovando, and reportedly measured 15cm (about 6 inches) wide and 25cm (about 10 inches) long.

Adding to the mystery, the prints were found after an incident the previous night on the farm. The farm owner’s dogs, usually calm as can be, inexplicably began to panic and even cry at something that had appeared on the farm. The farm owner, Nelson Colque, ran out and fired some shots into the air to scare whatever might have been out there. “The odd thing is that when there are people, the dogs usually bark, they do not cry,” Colque recalled.

A few weeks prior, another massive footprint was found at another area in Argentina, over 500 miles away. As impossible as it would seem, some think the two sets of prints may be related.

Some locals believe the prints may have been left by the legendary Ucumar, Agentina’s version of Bigfoot.

5. Another Bigfoot Sighting in Utah Raises Questions

March 2019 – Only three months after a sighting in Provo, Utah rocked the Bigfoot scene (featured farther down in this post), the cryptid seemingly appeared again, this time at Lone Peak, an area southeast of Salt Lake City, Utah, and just north of Provo.

Yet again, the sighting arrives alongside a video, courtesy the Rocky Mountain Sasquatch Organization, along with some lengthy analysis. The actual submitted footage of the Bigfoot encounter can be seen at about 3:09.

The sighting occured on March 23, 2019. The witness, a man named Tanner Hargis, contacted RMSO, and provided details of the curious encounter.

It happened “at around 10:30 AM,” he wrote, “Up on Wasatch Range, near Loan Peak. It was high up to where I don’t think any man will hike up it.” Hargis was standing in his own backyard at the time, filming the shadowy figure with the high zoom of his spotting scope.

He thought the potential Bigfoot, which he guessed looked about 8 feet tall, may have been “about 8600 feet in elevation” while walking along the peak.

That makes two rather high-profile Bigfoot sightings in Utah so far this year. Will there be more? advertisement

4. Possible Bigfoot Prints Found in Washington

March 2019 – In early March, Steven Meacham was out for a drive in Medical Lake, Washington when he and his wife spotted some rather massive footprints in the snow. Upon closer inspection, the prints measured 24 inches long, and were spaced 30 inches apart.

Meacham later shared images of the prints on Facebook, and the story was picked up by local media.

Were they made by Bigfoot? “It’s a possibility,” Meacham told KHQ Local News, “I can’t say I’m 100 percent sure, but I hope so.”

The size and stride of the footprints have left many wondering just what, if not Bigfoot, may have created them. While they could very well be the result of a man-made hoax, the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife speculate that they may just be ordinary human prints that have become “distorted” by the melting snow.

Others, however, are prone to believe that they are, indeed, Sasquatch prints.

3. Yowie Hair Found on Fence in Australia?

February 2019 – Australian cryptid chaser David Taylor claims to have found possible evidence of the Yowie, a legendary Bigfoot-like creature of the Outback.

The evidence came in the form of a clump of strange hair, which he found clinging to a barbed wire fence north of Mackay in Queensland. It looked like something huge got snagged, the fence itself appearing “snapped and twisted.” Meanwhile, the hair smelled absolutely awful, says Taylor, like “rotten meat crossed with urine.”

The Daily Mail provides images of both the hair and fence, as well as information on Taylor’s previous Yowie sighting. The hair is very thick and long, while the fence appears twisted up, as if something got caught in it.

The mysterious hair is now being examined by experts to determine what animal it may belong to, though Taylor expects the analysis to be inconclusive.

2. A Bigfoot Mystery in Provo, Utah

On January 2, 2019, the year got off to an interesting start when a video appeared of a possible Bigfoot stomping about in the snowy mountains of Provo, Utah.

“I’m just gonna get more footage of the Sasquatch,” the man behind the camera says, rather nonchalantly, as he films a large, dark figure in the distance. “He’s just chillin’.” Everyone in the video seems in awe of the figure’s size. Even at a fair distance, it appears “huge.”

The video originated on Facebook, and was later shared by a friend on Reddit. “I’m bugged that he started filming with the video in vertical mode,” the friend wrote, “Everybody in his comments is telling him to hike up and check out the footprints.”

One commenter in the Reddit thread coincidentally mentions the existence of a “Bigfoot family” that is said to live “around Cascade Saddle.” Bigfoot activity is commonly reported in the area, with broken trees and the occasional discovery of “massive tree structures.”

1. Bigfoot’s Glowing Eyes in North Carolina

January 2019 – Not everything out in the woods is as it seems, and not everything is so unusual, either. In January, numerous sightings of glowing red eyes led to an official response from a local animal shelter in Davie County, North Carolina.

Residents reported witnessing the glowing eyes while driving down Pine Ridge Rd. in Mocksville. The Davie County Animal Shelter found itself inundated with calls about the seemingly spectral phenomenon, with people reporting possible Bigfoot sightings. Turns out it was Bigfoot, from a certain point of view.

That is, the glowing red eyes were the result of reflections from a statue. A statue of Bigfoot.

“If you see this phenomenon,” the animal shelter posted to Facebook on January 11, “You do not need to call animal control to report seeing Bigfoot, Sasquatch, or any other large creature.” They also included a picture of the statue, taken in daylight. It’s a large, dark figure holding a stick, staring out at the road.
