Doug Teague<\/a>, 53, from Hickory, North Carolina, is an avid researcher of both gorillas and Bigfoot. He routinely sets up game cameras to keep watch on area wildlife. He regularly posts photos of gorillas to Facebook, stating \u201cPoaching of these great apes should be considered murder.\u201d He knows that these primates are intelligent and very similar to human beings. But what about the creature said to look like an oversized gorilla, Bigfoot?<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cI believe it\u2019s a primate, a very large primate,\u201d said Doug Teague.<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

According to Teague\u2019s video post to the Facebook group, to Catawba Valley Bigfoot Research:<\/a><\/p>\n

On August 16, Teague went out to retrieve cameras from the woods in McDowell County, only to find they were stolen. On the way back, he heard knocking sounds, then saw a rock the size of a golf ball thrown down a hill. His dog, Crazy Daisy, ran off to chase the stone. Teague pulled his smartphone from his back pocket and started to film the surroundings as another stone hit the ground nearby.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cTo the right, there was loud grunts, numerous loud grunts. Definitely got my attention\u2026got Daisy\u2019s attention,\u201d said Teague.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

As he yelled for his dog to come back, he saw another rock thrown through the air. Then he spotted something in the distance.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

\u201cThe object was very black with a pretty silver sheen to it, and it just sit there and every now and then you could see it move.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

As he continued filming, he claims the creature turned its head to show its \u201cperfect profile.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cIt\u2019s awesome because it does look like a gorilla,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Afterward, Teague says his phone started to overheat several times in the 90-degree heat. As the camera misfunctioned, he says a creature that may have been seven and a half to eight feet tall stood up and moved into the woods, disappearing. Crows started to make noise in response.<\/p>\n

While he only saw one creature, a friend reviewing the film saw two other creatures in the footage.<\/p>\n

After returning home, Teague contacted the local news about his sighting, at the request of a local reporter who knew he was frequently out looking for Bigfoot.<\/p>\n

According to the Hickory Daily Record,<\/a> <\/em>Teague was excited about his latest encounter:<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cI\u2019m almost 54 years old and I was like a giddy kid,\u201d he said about his latest encounter. He\u2019s only encountered Bigfoot four times.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

So far, Bigfoot remains a creature of myth, but Teague and many others believe that one day there will be definite proof. He has taken plaster casts of footprints<\/a> found along muddy woodland paths.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cThere\u2019s probably a lot more evidence than people realize,\u201d he said. \u201cPeople hide it. They don\u2019t want people to ridicule them.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

As he probably expected, Teague received some negative feedback to his story from people online. One person asked why he didn\u2019t approach the creatures more closely, to which he responded:<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cI did some bouncing in my young days, and I went up against some big ole\u2019 fellas. And what I\u2019ve seen up there on them hills, eight-nine feet tall, I ain\u2019t\u2019 approaching it,\u201d said Teague. \u201cThe reason they throw rocks is you are close enough. That\u2019s their way of telling you you are close enough, and I\u2019m going to respect their wishes.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

If this really is a huge creature throwing rocks, can you blame anyone for keeping their distance? Fortunately, Crazy Daisy stayed clear, remaining near Teague rather than chasing the creatures.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, a real Bigfoot<\/a>\u00a0of sorts was stolen from nearby Linville North Carolina in late August. It was almost eight feet tall and weighed hundreds of pounds, but somebody stole the statue bolted the ground in front of a landscaping business. The Avery County Sheriff\u2019s Office is searching for the kidnapped Squatch. (see video below)<\/p>\n

In Mocksville, North Carolina, someone constructed a giant statue of Bigfoot with red eyes and left it beside a freeway, prompting calls to 911 earlier this year.<\/p>\n
