Bigfoot Society - It Walks the Cornfields! | Farmington, Illinois

Episode Date: December 17, 2024

Austin shares an intriguing and unsettling encounter he experienced while driving through the cornfields near Farmington, Illinois in October 2008. During his mid-tour leave from Iraq, he spotted a ta...ll, shiny, jet-black humanoid figure with long fingers walking parallel to a road. Unsure if it was a Bigfoot, an alien, or another cryptic being, Austin recounts how this sighting was corroborated by multiple people in the area. The conversation delves into theories, from interdimensional beings to unusual geological features, exploring the rich tapestry of paranormal lore and local mysteries surrounding Peoria and its environs.🔴 Subscribe to our Youtube channel and leave a comment here: https://www.youtube.com/@BigfootSociety?sub_confirmation=1Share your Bigfoot encounter with me here: bigfootsociety@gmail.comWant to call in and leave a voicemail of your encounters for the podcast - Check this out here - https://www.speakpipe.com/bigfootsociety(Use multiple voice mails if needed!)Share this video with a friend: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z5v75Od-X38Watch more episodes of the Bigfoot Society podcast here – https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL3t1vwtsKh-MGeHs0XglFJE5LwUHpmJm_&feature=sharedRecommended Playlist – New Jersey Bigfoot Encounters - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL3t1vwtsKh-Mk4032IyZtWgP6LVPU8uat✅ Help me help others share their Bigfoot Encounter by joining the community on Patreon - https://www.patreon.com/thebigfootsociety✅ Hear ad-free episodes early by joining the community on Youtube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC8Qq45W6iaTU8FE9kelxT7Q/joinLet’s connect:Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/bigfootsociety/Twitter – https://twitter.com/bigfoot_societyTiktok - https://www.tiktok.com/@bigfoot.societyAffiliate links mean I earn a commission from qualifying purchases.

All right, Bigfoot Society, you've got the privilege of talking to Austin today. Austin's an individual that reached out to me through TikTok. He had made a comment on one of my recent Illinois videos. And so I reached out to Austin about what he'd shared.
Starting point is 00:02:09 And he was good enough to reach back out. And he's got an interesting thing to share about an experience that happened in the Peoria area. But I will let him fill in the details about that. But how's it going today, Austin? Oh, pretty good, cooling off here in Florida finally. Fantastic, yeah, it sounds good to me. We're definitely cooling off up here in Iowa, but a different way. We just got snow today.
Starting point is 00:02:37 Oh, yeah, no. Still seeing all theators down here. All right, if we start to see those, then we're having issues up here. Oh, yeah, we're in trouble then. We're in trouble. But it's a pleasure to have you on this show. Can't wait to hear about all that you experienced out there in Farmont, Illinois. I'm just going to go ahead and give it right over to you, man.
Starting point is 00:02:58 So take us back to what we need to know and what you experience. And I'm not completely sure if it was a Bigfoot or something, another type of, what is that word for them? Like Cryptids? Yeah. Yeah, yeah. But so in other people in the area have actually talked about similar. One of my cousins did and a few of her friends. And even a guy I used to play darts and drink beer with.
Starting point is 00:03:24 I think he even mentioned a similar sighting. So it's been spotted by other people and myself on like the dirt backroads, because Farmington's like on the edge of the Peoria metro area. It's about a good five, ten miles away from the main city area. So it's a lot of cornfields, a lot of back roads and things like that. When you go west and southwest of Farmington for sure. So it was October 2008. I was on mid-tour leave from Iraq because I was in the army at the time.
Starting point is 00:03:58 And I went back to Illinois to visit family and friends and hang out. And one thing I just like to do was the freedom to just drive around. It was nice to just go out at night on long drives through the cornfields and stuff. It was still like a late harvest season, I think, that year. I can't remember, but I definitely could see dry corn up and down both sides of the road at the time. So it was probably early October. not sure about the exact day. So I'm driving through Farmington,
Starting point is 00:04:27 going through the main drag, going through Main Street, I think, 116 or something. And when I go towards the backroads, there's a couple backroads that go towards like Bush and Illinois, another town over to the west, southwest, I think. And I'm driving down the cornfield,
Starting point is 00:04:46 and I got music going. I think I'm listening to No Effects at the time. and I see this like figure had been like first I thought it was like like a piece of metal waving in the wind that got stuck on a tree or something but it was definitely like humanoid shaped once I got closer it was walking parallel to the road in the cornfield but its skin was like shiny and kind of jet black it was tall jet black shiny and I I just, I couldn't believe my eyes what I was seeing. It was very strange. I was like,
Starting point is 00:05:26 it was like frail-like. I remember seeing like long fingers trailing down its side. I didn't get a good look at the head or anything. The main parts I could really see were like the elbow down to lower arm and then the legs. And I don't know if it was Bigfoot or an alien or what. I've had other people, though, say, I've seen that's the same thing. out on those backroads out that passed Farmington. And can't figure out what it is, but other people in the area have definitely mentioned it and talked about it from time to time. And I have a couple theories about what that could be, but I'm not completely sure. I'd be really curious to talk to that guy that saw the Bigfoot creature recently in the area.
Starting point is 00:06:17 Oh, the trucker guy? I'm, yeah, to see the height and just, because it was definitely probably 7 p.m. I'm thinking it was definitely dark out in October for that time. And I was driving a rental car. I can't even remember what kind of car I was driving. It would have been like just one of your basic average four-door sedans, I'm sure. And yeah, I was going down the gravel road. And it was just, what the heck?
Starting point is 00:06:48 is that. And I just kept going and I'm like, I wanted to turn around with loose gravel and dirt and I was very safety conscious. I didn't want to get in trouble with the army if I got in a car wreck while I was away on leave, that's for sure. But yeah, I looked and I remember talking to my cousin about that and she said, oh yeah, I've got friends that have seen that too. And it was crazy. Not even a week later when I'm in Illinois. It was like the end of my time. there, I was at a hotel party with some friends, and someone shows up white as a ghost. Dude, I saw this like alien bigfoot creature. Don't know what it was. It was all jet black, like jet black shiny skin. And the only place I've ever heard another story about that was from a guy in
Starting point is 00:07:38 Utah up at some place called Lightning Ridge where he had seen something with long fingers, shiny black skin as well. This is very unique. I think this is the first time I've heard of a sighting where jet black, shiny skin. When you say long fingers, could you see the actual fingers, or was it just that its arms were really low? It felt like it was looking like fingers. Like they almost, I would say like the thickness of a grown man's two fingers together and they went down to almost a point. looked like loose or something.
Starting point is 00:08:20 Like maybe it was wearing some sort of overcoat or shedding skin or something like that. I couldn't quite. It was very brief and it was very sudden and I wasn't like, what the heck was I seeing?
Starting point is 00:08:34 And I spooked me out. And I didn't really bother turning around to go back there. Yeah, I don't think. I wish I took it in more at the time. But I don't even think anybody really had a smart phone at the time. Phones took pictures. It was like 2008. People were still using the razor phone
Starting point is 00:08:52 or something. So it wasn't really, you didn't have cameras of great quality. And I wouldn't have even thought to take a picture at that time. Oh, yeah, exactly. It was, that was a different time. You had the flip phones and you're exactly right. You wouldn't really want to take pictures with those phones. It usually didn't end up being a good time. The shiny skin, the jet black, so it sounds like how about this? How much of it was covered with hair or was it not really covered with hair at all? I didn't see hair. It was tall and shiny. The head, like what I could see of the head, just looked like, came up. I wouldn't say a cone, but it was larger than a human head for sure. Almost like slightly conish, but more dome-like. I wish I could draw it out, but I'm a terrible artist. Now, you probably only saw it for a few seconds, I'm guessing, right? Yeah, and I'm guessing I was probably driving, since I was driving a rental car and it's a gravel road, I was probably going slower than normal.
Starting point is 00:10:00 I would say maybe 40 miles an hour at the very most, probably 30, 35. So I'm not going terribly fast. Could you see anything that looked like ears on it? I could not. I did not recall seeing anything that looked like ears, no. Okay. A color to its eyes at all? Didn't see the front of the face, just the back and like the side of the arms and leg.
Starting point is 00:10:29 Okay. Anything weird? But it was way too tall to be a person. Gotcha. And remind me what you would estimate the height to be of it again? Oh, like eight to nine feet. It was definitely above what, there was. was dead corn. I remember on both sides of the road, and it was standing up above that.
Starting point is 00:10:54 That's like from a distance, I thought it was like a piece of metal from like a barn or something that got loose in a storm, like hanging from a tree nearby or something. I couldn't quite make out what I was looking at from a distance once I got close up, whoa, who is what is that? Okay, but you're actually seeing it move, though, correct? Yeah, I was walking like at a slow, like just general steady pace. Yeah. Anything weird about the legs? Oh, those feel like they're backwards or the way that they're put together just was weird to me. Anything I thought? Not that I can recall. I think the most, like the parts that stood out the most were like the long fingers, wide fingers. And I don't think they were five. It was like almost like I could see maybe three in like a thumb appendage type thing. but it was definitely like the fingers
Starting point is 00:11:48 and when I say jet black I would say the skin now that I think about it more the skin kind of had a texture to like elephant skin but it was jet black and shiny if you can picture that it's really weird
Starting point is 00:12:00 did you experience anything that made you think oh that it's like a dog did it have a tail or anything no it didn't give me any animal I really thought it was like either, one, a hallucination, two, an alien, three, like a form of Bigfoot or Sasquatch or something.
Starting point is 00:12:25 But I just, I didn't really, I didn't really draw the line to Bigfoot until I saw your TikTok video about that other guy that saw something near there. Huh. There's a few paranormal abnormalities that do happen in that area. There's a little bridge on one of the back roads between Farmington and Canton called Crybaby Bridge. And it's, you know, people will go out there at night and they'll hear voices and there's no one there. Stuff like that. And when I took down some notes of thoughts I had, you remember those UFO hearings recently about the UAPs where they're talking about interdimensional beings, that keyword interdimensional? Absolutely.
Starting point is 00:13:03 See, that's one thing I was thinking of is perhaps there's some sort of hiccup where alternate realities overlap with ours. And maybe they're only viewable by certain people. It makes sense why they're so rare. You'd think more people would see these things as urbanized and as spread out as people are all over these days compared to 100 years ago and whatnot. And something that has lately is there are certain areas of the country that seem to have just more strangeness than others. You've got areas in Utah. Maybe there's an area like this in this area in Illinois, too. Like a hot spot, like laylines or something or some type.
Starting point is 00:13:50 I was thinking maybe had something to do with maybe the Earth's magnetism or mineral deposits and things. Because when you look at Western Illinois specifically from Farmington to Canton to Macomb to Navu, Carthage, Quincy, those kind of sections of Illinois, there's a lot of like tributaries that flow into Illinois or Mississippi River out there. There's a little more like branches of forest and woods and such. Like the Spoon River is a pretty popular one I can think of in Fulton County. You've got the Kickapoo Creek that runs through Peoria County. And then I remember the Copperas Creek also runs a little bit south of Peoria down towards Mapleton and Banner and it empties out into the Illinois River.
Starting point is 00:14:37 and you know these are i'd say i think it's old glacial deposits from the last ice age in some parts too because if you look around farmington if you ever look on a satellite map you'll see a lot of coal like strip coal mines from like the old days that's not the type of coal that's useful to us anymore so they don't really mine it these days but a lot of these towns like hannah city Peoria and a lot of those towns near Farmington were founded on coal originally. So I'm curious if there's some type of electromagnetic mineral something that might trigger these type of events, especially when you think about Bigfoot in the Rocky Mountains, you have a lot of iron deposits in the Rockies. Whereas Illinois, it's a different, you got a lot of limestone. I've heard of
Starting point is 00:15:29 people finding mammoth teeth in a lot of the tributaries and creeks around peak in Peoria areas for sure. Do you have any pink granite in that area? You know what? That's actually, I think, I don't know if it's pink granite, but there, so there's a cemetery called the Smithville Cemetery nearby, and they have a monument in there. On the north side, called like the, it says McNaughton, and there's a little placard on it saying it was found on the McNaughton farm outside of Hanna City and some year. in the 1800s.
Starting point is 00:16:05 And it looks like a granite stone. It's like an orangeish pinkish color. Oh, that's cool. Okay. Interesting. And it's a large boulder. I'd say it's at least up to my, between my knees and my waist, and I'm about six foot even.
Starting point is 00:16:20 You don't see a whole lot of boulders and rocks out there, but you'll definitely see a few like in the deeper cuts on the edges of hillsides and tributaries and such here and there. Yeah, I just interviewed a rock climber. and it's not out yet, but he was sharing how, what he's found is that in areas with pink granite, there would usually be a lot of potential sightings of Bigfoot and other things. And if I'm not mistaken, sometimes I think granite might contain traces of like uranium or other radioactive materials, if I'm not mistaken, something like that. Another, let's say theory is, have you ever seen?
Starting point is 00:17:03 seen have you ever seen pictures of animals when they have mange yeah they lose all their hair and how different they look yeah yeah i wonder if that ever happens with let's say if bigfoot is a physical creature if they ever have the same thing that happened where if they were to lose all their hair what would they look like oh yeah lose their hair maybe get sick injuries because oh have you oh yeah you know what have you ever seen those pictures of the bears
Starting point is 00:17:39 that are like victims of wildfires when I really think about that it's almost like that but we don't have black bears in Illinois we've had some vagrant ones spotted here and there
Starting point is 00:17:49 but they're in like way north tip of Illinois that have passed through from Wisconsin once or twice and it was way too tall and thin to be a bear for sure but yeah
Starting point is 00:18:01 but I can't think that I never really smelled any smoke or any signs of wildfire or nothing. Sometimes there'll be a big grass brush fire, but usually in my experience in western Illinois, that was always in the spring. When people and farmers are burning off dead grass
Starting point is 00:18:16 on the edges of their cornfields, things like that for pastures and such. Now, you said that you knew an individual that played darts that also had a sighting of this too? Yeah, there's this one older man. There was a bar in Farmington, and the bar doesn't even exist anymore. I can't remember the name.
Starting point is 00:18:35 name of it. But yeah, I'd played darts of this older gentleman every now and then. And I can't think of his name. It's been probably since I haven't talked to them since 2012. But yeah, I remember him telling me he's seen a lot of either a bigfoot creature or an alien or something north of Farmington. So I'm thinking there's got to be something going on that could be looked into a little more between the Farmington and Canton area, because Farmington's only five or six miles just north of Canton. If there was a paved trail, I could walk to Canton almost. There's so many, just people don't realize they think all the Bigfoot are out there in Washington and Oregon. And there's a lot of them out there, but there's also weird stuff that happens in the Midwest.
Starting point is 00:19:27 There's your Illinois stuff, but like even though right now there's all these reports coming out about how there's been all sightings in the middle of Omaha, Nebraska for the last 20 years, and they're just now being released to the public. And it's as long as they have a food source and water near by, what would be the food source in this area? Are there a lot of deer in the area? I mean, there's definitely a lot of deer. One time I was driving the backroads between Canton and I'd say from Canton to Hannah City, in between there, I probably, probably counted like 30 deer once, jumping out of a cornfield at least. A lot of people will tell their kids and teenagers to slow down driving on those
Starting point is 00:20:13 back roads because deer can, they could just pop right out in front of you any second. So it's definitely something you've got to be more careful and cognizant of, depending on the time of year as well. But yeah, I would say deer if they feed on that. There's definitely squirrels, raccoons, possums, plenty of possums. I see possums everywhere on the back roads. And definitely every now and then livestock definitely get out and have gone missing, I think. I haven't heard of any exact reports, but I knew of somebody that had a pig farm and their pigs were always getting loose.
Starting point is 00:20:55 What's the, is it Peoria County that Farmington's in? No, it's actually right on the edge of Peoria and Fulton County. So it's on the northeast corner of Fulton County. Okay. Like part of the city, I think, extends into Peoria County. Maybe the school or a couple businesses or something. Farmington Proper is in Fulton County. Interesting.
Starting point is 00:21:21 There's another fun website, and if you've never looked into it, you really should. Not a lot of people, I think, know about it, but Stan, there used to be, there's, I think he's still around. There's an investigator named Stan Courtney for Illinois. So if you go to Stan Courtney. You can really see a ton of, and there's a ton of reports for Fulton County from the BFRO, Bigfoot and counters. GCBRO is another good one. So there's definitely over the years been some solid activity in. And you said you're from Iowa, right?
Starting point is 00:22:02 Yes, I'm from central Iowa, just a little bit. Okay, yeah. Because there's a, I'm sure you've heard of the band Slipknot. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Corey Taylor, I haven't read the book yet, but he has a book where he talks about his
Starting point is 00:22:18 encounters with the paranormal and the unusual. Really? I can't remember the name. Yeah, I think it's called like a funny thing happened on the way to heaven or something like that. He talks about his like spiritual and paranormal encounters. And he definitely asserts that there's something out there. Okay.
Starting point is 00:22:36 with all these things, but he's a pretty vocal, like, atheist, non-religious type of person, but there's still an element of things that we do not understand out there yet. That science can't yet explain. So I just made a note to check into that. Yeah, thank you. I've never really checked into Corey Taylor. I know who he is, but, uh... Yeah, so the band Mudvane, if you've heard of them as well, they're from Peoria.
Starting point is 00:23:01 My mom went to high school with the guitar player, Greg Tribut, from the, band. Okay. She remembered him as, he was just a normal guy, but, and she had friends and I had a cousin, I think that was good friends with members of that band and stuff. I remember, like, friends and I, we'd drive around Farmington looking for ghosts and things. The Bigfoot thing really reignited with that recent sighting that made media. And it's crazy. You're not the only person that I have been talking to from that area. I just interviewed a older couple from Yeah, I can't even really say specific. It's around that area, I pretty much have to say.
Starting point is 00:23:45 But there's just some people where they do not, they don't even want to have their exact area. They're just okay with generalalities. But it's that area, the central Illinois, I think there's more to it. But if you had to think about what you saw and in retrospect, how would you classify it? Would you say Bigfoot or would you maybe say something else? I kind of, there's, so there is one area I can, I'll hint at to you, but I don't like to talk about it because I think it's very bad juju, very bad luck. And it goes back to some Native American legends about things that can run as fast as you.
Starting point is 00:24:28 Run or run as fast as a car and they can take the form of animals. I don't say the word of them because I don't like to. invoke anything strange because I told someone about it when I was in Iraq, and I kid you not, within an hour, everybody on my base got sick as heck. Like we were all projectile vomiting and just ill. We all just came down with the sickness. Yeah, I'm not going to mess with that, but I would say there may be some old legends and Laura worth looking into that may hint at something. specifically, I think the Laura that I'm alluding to takes place in southern Utah, northern Arizona areas. But I don't know of any legends and things in the Midwest that maybe Native Americans may have stories and lore about.
Starting point is 00:25:16 You know what? I want to bring something to your attention that I just found on that site. it seems that in July of 67, just west of Farmington, there's an account you can read, and it's a link to bigfooten counters.com where someone had seen a large creature that they say it was just a black mass in the mass of tan-colored reeds by the side of a lake. Yeah, there's a lot of strip mine lakes out by Farmington. That, yeah, that's a good description. That's, yeah, massive black, and that's all I saw at first. I don't know. I feel like there might be, I think you sharing what you experienced in 2008 might be the start to,
Starting point is 00:26:08 who knows what might come out about this, this Farmington area. I'm just glad that you came on. I mean, it's a small town, I think, of 3,000 people. I haven't really been there in years. I went to, like, high school there for six months, and then I moved to Utah as a teenager. And I'd come back and visit because I got cousins and stuff out there and nieces and nephews and whatnot. I've been all over the world, really. I actually even lived in Oregon for a while.
Starting point is 00:26:37 And I lived up in the mountains where you definitely heard things and you're like, it's not a coyote. That's not a mountain lion. I don't know what I just heard, but I'm going to go back inside. Austin, thank you for coming on the show and for sharing. Yeah, you're welcome. It's an experience that or an encounter that is very, I'm not sure. how to classify it myself and be interesting to see where this conversation leads with people

Yeah, maybe you'll get more callers or something down the line here from this interview. Maybe someone's, oh yeah, I used to live there too and I saw this. You never know. I think so.
