[snip] A North Carolina-based wife and mother has home brewed a spray that she says can attract any Bigfoot within a mile and a half.
Sold at $7 per bottle, the “environmentally friendly” Bigfoot Juice also doubles as a bug spray, says creator Allie Megan Webb, who runs Happy Body Care out of Marion.
“How do you know it works?” asks Webb, laughing. “That’s a tough question. I guess I could ask how do you know it doesn’t work?”
There is anecdotal proof her spray does, in fact, attract a Bigfoot.
Field tests have been done, she says, and they include a recent outing by the research group Bigfoot 911, in which a Bigfoot sighting was reported. It happened the first week of August, in the woods of McDowell County. The report made national news.

There was a time when I didn’t doubt the existence of a Bigfoot. But now days there are too many cameras so there should be thousand of clear photos.
What, you know what color bigfoots are?
I had a Summer job with a guy that also worked at an activities program for kids. When SkyLab was in the process of deorbiting, they sprayed themselves with "Lab-Away", and none of them got hit by the space station when it finally came down.
So ..... lets think this through for a moment.
Lets say the spray works. Considering most animal “attractants” work by either making the target smell like food or like they want sex.
I am pretty sure that I do no want either a hungry big foot or a horny big foot interested in me.
Just saying .....
My thoughts as well on all these researchers like Finding Bigfoot. What happens if one actually exists, shows up and is highly pissed? What are you going to do then? It would be considered a wild and dangerous animal, not the gentle forest giants these unicorn chasers think is out there.
If you take the reports and read them many are just total crap but some have credibility and in many cases these creatures fall on the violent side, do you really want to be in the middle of the woods provoking such an animal if it exits?
A shirtless, bearded Robin Williams looks more like Bigfoot than that guy does.
No, but I know what color raccoons are. And the guy in the suit claimed he was wearing a raccoon suit.
To me, it looks more like a cheap version of Messin’ with Sasquatch from the Jack Link’s jerky commercials.
“Your wife’s a Bigfoot, Gus.”
While I think most Big Foot, Sasquatch, Yeti or what have you sightings are either overexcited people imagining things or outright hoaxes, I don’t think it’s ridiculous that there may be a reclusive large, hairy hominid that we don’t know about, since practically every people on every continent have legends of them and a name for them. One of the more chilling accounts I’ve heard involved several college age young men atop Mt. LeConte in the Smokies, in a ranger cabin on a snowy night during a search and rescue for a missing person.
This isn’t something your offspring mix up in their spare time is it?
Not that they’ve mentioned to me. They probably smell like Sasquatch pheromones after a week at camp.
Well, it was in your (semi) neck of the woods. Maybe one or more of your camperpersons has a licensing agreement with this lady to market the self-generated Sasquatch pheromone?
I have heard of that event. LeConte is up there a ways and during a snow storm why would someone be outside going crazy? Hard events to explain.
I live out in the boonies, you have to make an effort to get to our place even off the main road and have one neighbor, my mother in law and after dark she is inside unless in her car coming and going. About ten years ago my in early June my wife and I were outside sitting on our front porch enjoying the evening and listening to the sounds in the woods. We have bears in the area and I always sat out there with a pistol in my lap while we were in our rocking chairs. It was around 10:30 at night and our small kids were in bed sleeping and we were just listening and enjoying the woods.
Funny thing I had noticed the last couple of evenings is when I would go out the woods were pretty active with sounds, you could hear deer and other four legged critters making their way around the wood line, owls and whippoorwills and such, and the normal smells of the mountains in early summer. Except when my wife would come out after doing some thing in the house and getting the kids in bed.
For those two days whenever she would come outside within minutes the woods would get increasingly quite and then a just nasty, garbage decaying, something dead smell would permeate the air. By the third night when this happened I commented to her, honey whenever you come out things start stinking like road kill. She was like ha-ha! But then admitted, yeah I smell it now as well.
On this third night she had been outside with me rocking on the front of our wrap around porch about twenty minutes and the woods grew increasingly quite with just the sound of leaves being stepped on from time to time on the three sides of the house we could hear, we couldn’t hear the back of course. We have a street light on a pole in the front yard that casts light in yard but not off into the wood line.
After about thirty minutes we were sitting there talking and noted the woods had become very still and on the back right side of the porch we hear and feel heavy solid whacks either against the house or porch post, about ten in a row, very hard. We stopped and she looked at me bugged eyed and says what was that! I said you tell me your family has lived on this land for twenty years. I have no clue she said. I got up with my .357 magnum pistol and told her step in the house and get my M1 Carbine out of the front closet and bring too me around the porch. I headed down the porch and reached the corner where I could hear but not see anything in the back where the sound came from and there was all sorts of footfalls in the backyard, which has about 50 yards from the house before you hit the wood line.
I yelled I don’t know who you are but you are about to get your asses shot off messing around my house in the middle of the night. I heard more commotion and raised my pistol and fired a round into the ground, more movement resulted. At that point my wife was there with the carbine and I put the .357 in my belt and told her go inside and flip the back porch lights on. I got back there before she got to the lights and heard all sorts of commotion, but not a single word and I yelled a warning again. I chambered a round and pointed into the ground and ripped off about 5-6 rounds and then I hear silence in the back yard and only the sound of something that sounded like a freight train going through the woods about 50 yards into the woods paralleling our house and my mother in laws and heading into deep mountain terrain. I found no evidence of anything in the yard.
We have had other strange things happen such as on the Fourth of July at dusk my wife and I were sitting in the driveway with the kids shooting bottle rockets and sparklers for the two smaller kids and we are just having fun and we suddenly hear what sounds like kids jabbering in the woods and we stop and hear it a minute or two and it stops. We resume our fun and in a few minutes we hear it again even louder and we stop and I step to the side of the house and holler are you lost? We live several miles from the national park so we are assuming a kid could possibly be lost, but its never happened before they would get to our place that far out.
Nothing in response and finally we start to shoot fireworks again and my wife is standing on the side and yells stop I hear kids jabbering again but can’t understand them and it sounds like it is from the back yard. By now it is about dark and she says I am going to walk down the yard a little and holler for them, a lost child would come to me more than you a strange man.
Me and the kids were in the back near the house and my wife was hollering for them to come to the sound of her voice and asking if they were lost. We heard the jabbering briefly again but it was heading toward a very mountainous area. We were uneasy but went on in the house. The next day we listened to see if there was any reports of lost kids, nothing. Very strange.
I’ve had the woods go dead silent surrounding me before when hiking up in the mountains, usually accompanied by a strong sense of being watched. Very unsettling. I’ve always assumed it was due to a large predator of some kind. Legends of a large hairy human-like creature go back quite a ways to the colonial frontier era and before with the Cherokee. As I’ve said before, it doesn’t seem too much of a stretch to me, for there to be a reclusive, unknown species in existence, particularly when such things have a name among practically every people on every continent. It’s entered into lore and pop culture though, so there will likely always be more hoaxes and people imagining things than any sort of credible report. I’ve seen a few that weren’t pleasant and the people didn’t seem anything but frightened out of their wits, not particularly enthused over the notoriety.
