North Carolina Man Details Multiple Sasquatch Sightings on Rural Property

There's something fascinating happening in the South Mountains of North Carolina, and a recent interview on The Cryptid Profiler channel dives deep into it. A man named Jerry, who lives on a dead-end road surrounded by thick woods and pastures, has been documenting encounters with what he firmly believes is a Sasquatch — and his story is one of the most compelling I've come across in a while.
Jerry grew up in the country, spending his childhood in the woods just like many of us who grew up rural. His interest kicked off after watching *Legend of Boggy Creek* as a kid with his grandfather, and it only deepened when he learned about a wave of sightings in the South Mountains area back in the late 1970s. According to his research, there were at least 36 documented sightings in and around that region between the spring of 1978 and midsummer of 1979. For those unfamiliar, the South Mountains are a rugged, heavily forested range in western North Carolina — the kind of terrain that Sasquatch researchers often point to as ideal habitat. Dense cover, steep ridges, plenty of water sources, and minimal human disturbance in the deeper sections.
After moving back to the country in 2013, Jerry started spending serious time in the woods — we're talking 8 to 10 hours at a time. That's when he began finding tree breaks. Not just one or two, but dozens of them. He reached out to Lyle Blackburn, author of *The Bigfoot Casebook* (which, by the way, is an absolute must-have for any serious researcher), and Blackburn confirmed that what Jerry was finding looked like authentic Bigfoot tree breaks. Tree breaks are those distinctive snapped or twisted saplings that researchers believe Sasquatch use as a form of communication or territorial marking — bending and breaking smaller trees in patterns that don't match typical bear or human activity.
Jerry's first visual encounter came in August 2017. He and his wife were turning onto their road when his headlights swept across a cornfield, and there, just outside the corn, stood a massive figure. He describes it as the quintessential Sasquatch silhouette — not just tall, but incredibly broad at the shoulders with thick thighs. It was a split-second sighting, but detailed enough that he knew exactly what he was looking at. The creature stepped back into the fully mature corn, and remarkably, didn't leave a swath of broken stalks — it weaved through them. That detail alone rules out a bear in his mind, and honestly, it makes sense. Bears crash through vegetation. Whatever this was moved with intention.
Over the next year and a half, the activity ramped up. Jerry started hearing vocalizations — tree knocks, whoops, strange grunting, growls, and something he describes as sounding like an inner tube being cut and releasing all its air at once, followed by a loud noise. He's also heard what he calls a "creepy howl" — only a handful of times in all his years out there, but it's the one that really gets under his skin. For context, Sasquatch researchers have cataloged numerous vocalization types over the years, from the famous "woo-ahoos" to wood knocks, and Jerry's descriptions align with what's been reported in other regions.
Then came two more sightings. One was a juvenile, around five feet tall, with reddish-brown hair that had a kind of poofed-out, almost nappy texture. The ears appeared to sit a bit high on the sides of the head. The third was in December 2019 — another full-grown adult standing in his pasture, just as massive as the first one. Each time, he had a witness with him, which adds serious credibility to his account.
What really caught my attention is the title of this episode — "The White Booger of North Carolina." White or light-colored Sasquatch reports aren't unheard of. There have been accounts from various regions describing cream, gray, or even white-furred individuals, and some researchers theorize these could be older males, albino individuals, or possibly even regional variations. The fact that Jerry has captured video, audio, and photographs that he's shared with the host makes this episode worth checking out for anyone interested in ongoing research in the Blue Ridge region.
Jerry also mentions his dogs' reactions throughout — particularly a redbone hound that went absolutely ballistic one night, running up and down the fence line barking at the bottom of a steep pasture that borders thick woods. Dog reactions are consistently one of the most reliable indicators researchers point to, since canines have senses we don't and often detect things long before we do.
If you're into North Carolina cryptid reports, vocalization analysis, or just love hearing from someone who's been putting in the boots-on-the-ground work for over a decade, this episode is definitely worth your time. Jerry comes across as level-headed, methodical, and genuinely passionate about documenting what's happening on his property. That's the kind of witness and researcher this field needs more of.
