Kentucky Bigfoot Encounter: A Monkey in the Barn and Other Strange Events

The Initial Barn Encounter

• 💡 Josh recounts his first encounter at age 12 or 13 on his uncle's property in western Kentucky, hearing a powerful, lion-like roar.

• 🔑 He estimated the creature to be at least 8-8.5 feet tall based on its head height in the barn doorway.
• 🧠 The creature was covered in jet black fur with a grayish-black face, eyes, and a flat nose; its hands appeared hairless and grayish.
