When I was growing up, the search for Bigfoot, or creatures like him, was a thing urban legends are made of. I, myself, was obsessed with anything relating to the search for the elusive and wandering beast.

Capturing proof of Bigfoot

Many people have looked for Bigfoot, trying to catch a glimpse of him wandering around the woods. Some have actually captured photos and videos of what they believe is a true sighting of Bigfoot or Sasquatch.

While many of the photos and videos have been proven to be fake or altered, sometimes the unexpected sightings have been simply labeled, unexplained.

Something like this happened to Jared Arnett on a recent trip to Lake Cumberland. Whatever he encountered, it was not something he ever expected to see. I'm sure he was like, WTH???? Is that a bear?

What is that on the shore?

Jared let law enforcement know that he had seen something and showed them the photos.

According to The Somerset Insider Facebook page

A Pulaski County man is happy to be safe at home after a scary incident near Lake Cumberland today. Jared Arnett spotted a Bigfoot in the woods and took these amazing photographs of the beast. “At first I thought it was a grizzly bear, but once I got a better look at it I realized it was definitely a Sasquatch.”

@jaredarnettSaw this dude by the lake ##sasquach ##foryou ##viral♬ Creepy, scary, horror, synth, tension - Sound Production Gin

 Who knows, maybe we have found an actual Sasquatch living in the Tristate, or just a really hairy guy vacationing on Lake Cumberland from the Northeast. LOL.
In all seriousness, a big thanks to @jaredarnett on Tiktok for the use of his amazing photos.

Same Bigfoot creature photos

The above is the real story of the weird encounter. But, the same photos and verbiage, with different areas and names, continue to spread like wildfire on social media.

The reason I know this, is because I corresponded with Jared after he posted about what he saw at the lake.
