Whitehall, New York – Police Saw Bigfoot and Couldn’t Pull the Trigger

Based on true events.   In August of 1976, three teenagers driving an isolated road outside Whitehall, New York came face to face with a seven-foot creature with glowing red eyes. They did what no one in a monster story is supposed to do — they went straight to the police. And within days, the police saw it too. Trained officers. State troopers. Spotlights. Official reports. What happened on Abair Road turned a tiny Adirondack village into the Bigfoot Capital of the Northeast — a town that eventually passed a law making it illegal to harm the creature. But not everyone who met the Beast of Whitehall drove away with a story. Locals still speak of the ones the woods kept — and of a rifle found leaning against a tree, unfired. Join Carman Carrion for the true story of the Abair Road incident, the police officer who couldn't pull the trigger, and the town that chose to protect its monster.   #Whitehall #NewYork #Bigfoot #Sasquatch #AbairRoad #DestinationTerror #Cryptid #BigfootSighting #Adirondacks #BigfootCapital #BeastOfWhitehall #CryptidEncounters #TrueHorror #RealTerror #ParanormalPodcast #HorrorPodcast #DarkHistory #UnexplainedMysteries #CreepyHistory #Eeriecast #CarmanCarrion #TrueStories #Unexplained #MonsterSighting #PoliceReport #SasquatchFestival #HauntedNewYork #Folklore #ListenNow #Spooky   EXPLORE MORE SPINE-CHILLING CONTENT: Freaky Folklore: https://www.eeriecast.com/podcasts/freaky-folklore Carman's Crypt (Original Horror): https://www.carman-carrion.com/ Deadly Intent (True Crime): https://www.carman-carrion.com/ Destination Terror: https://www.eeriecast.com/podcasts/destination-terror SUPPORT THE SHOW: Patreon (Ad-Free + Bonus Content): https://www.patreon.com/c/CarmanCarrion Buy Me a Coffee: https://buymeacoffee.com/carmancarrion CONNECT WITH CARMAN: Website: https://www.carman-carrion.com/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@CarmanCarrion Twitter/X: https://x.com/CarmanCarrion Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/carmancarrion/ SUBSCRIBE & REVIEW: Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0uiX155WEJnN7QVRfo3aQY iTunes: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/freaky-folklore/id1550361184 Your support helps bring you more terrifying tales.
