Located in the southwestern corner of Virginia, Grayson County is home to some of the most beautiful and highest mountains in the Blue Ridge. Mount Rogers, the tallest peak in Virginia, is located in this county and the Blue Ridge Parkway winds through there. This proud and scenic area is also well known for its music festivals which feature old-time fiddling and some of the best in mountain picking and singing.

In short, Grayson County, Va. is a lot like McDowell County.

But lately, folks in Grayson County have been talking about a large hairy upright creature that’s been spotted walking near the Parkway. They think it might be a Bigfoot.

The Grayson County Sheriff’s Department got a call at 9:30 p.m. on the night of Jan. 28 about a creature sighting. Sheriff Richard Vaughan said his office heard from a local man who said his wife, another woman and a young boy were traveling north on Route 89, according to a Web site.

The caller reported that he and the others spotted a large hairy creature while they were traveling between the Blue Ridge Parkway’s bridge and Edmonds Road in Grayson County. It was about 7 feet tall with black hair all over.

The unknown creature reportedly walked upright to the edge of the road. When it saw the car lights, the creature disappeared into some nearby pine trees.

A man looking through another type of rock says he’s now got proof that Bigfoot, the Sasquatch, really exists.

But even a so-called Bigfoot fossil isn’t likely to convince everyone.

Bigfoot is big stuff in the Pacific Northwest. There’s even a Sasquatch exhibit at the Washington State History Museum where you’ll find footprints, pictures, Indian masks of either Sasquatch or someone who saw one, and one skeptical publicist for the exhibit.

“I came in skeptical and I (was) willing to be convinced, so I’m waiting for Sasquatch believers to come in and show me their evidence,” said Kim Adams of the museum.

There are those who say they’ve seen Sasquatch. Cliff Crook says he saw one back in 1956. I asked him why I should believe him.

“I don’t know, there’s no way I can prove it other than the fact there were three boys with me and they know what we saw,” he said.

Alaska’s Creature Of Cryptozoology The Hairy Man – The Urayuli

The Urayuli or “Hairy Man” is a famous Cryptid located in Southwest Alaska. It has several other names, such as Arulataq, Bushman, Big Man, Tent Monster, Nant’ina, and Woodsman.

The Urayuli, as described, stands about 6 to 10 feet tall and is covered with shaggy, coarse hair or fur of approximately 2 to 4 inches long. It has glowing eyes and is said to look somewhat like the extinct primates. Its arms are elongated enough that the creature can reach its ankles.

The Urayuli lives in the wide tundra areas near Lake Iliamna. This quick and agile Alaskan Cryptid is oftentimes seen traveling at night and is a fast swimmer. It is often blamed for stealing fish and dogs, as well as destroying the tents of nearby campers. Many people from that particular region have their stories of encounters with the creature.

In 1956, a fisherman spotted the Urayuli as he was anchoring his fishing boat on the beach at night. A biologist from Ketchikan had later found and took a photograph of huge human-like footprints on the same beach.

In 1982, in the city of Dillingham, a hunting guide showed a picture that he had taken of the Urayuli standing on a mountain ridge. It had an approximate height of 10 feet and a weight of around 750 pounds, with long reddish brown fur.
