A large portion of that land was heavily wooded private property used for pulpwood and timber farming. While there, Terry would often have odd \u201cexperiences&#8221; as he walked alone exploring in the woods &#8211; almost always feeling as if he was being watched or \u201ckept track of\u201d. Eventually this led to a definitive experience that left him wondering just exactly who or what was in the woods with him when he would go walking each time. All this, coupled with seeing \u201cThe Legend of Boggy Creek\u201d when it was first released, started him on his personal journey of discovery to learn as much about the subject as possible.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">&nbsp; Terry\u2019s research has taken him all over the Southeast as well as to Oklahoma. He\u2019s been actively investigating Bigfoot in the field with various groups since 2013. In 2022 Terry branched off with his own solo project called Rock Hill Bigfoot \u2013 a space where he can document his continuing journey of exploration and learning. Over all this time, Terry has had several close encounters with the Forest People &#8211; including getting poked through his tent wall by one on a particularly dark night in the woods of North Georgia.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">&nbsp; Terry is a &#8220;No Kill&#8221; supporter and keeps an open mind when researching and when talking with others about the subject, but leans toward the approach of learning through in-the-field observation, documentation, and personal experience. Terry isn\u2019t out to prove to anyone that Bigfoot exists. He already KNOWS Bigfoot exists due to his field experiences. Rather, he is on a personal journey to learn all he can about these elusive and mysterious beings while gladly sharing his knowledge and experiences along the way with anyone who asks.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">&nbsp; Terry&#8217;s specialties are documentary interviews, field videography, and video editing and production\u2026all of which fit right in with his Bigfoot research. In fact, he\u2019s been interested in cameras even longer than in Bigfoot! Terry also realizes that there are almost as many opinions as to exactly what Bigfoot might be as there are people looking for Bigfoot, and is always willing to listen to all opinions as long as they are thoughtfully and respectfully presented.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">&nbsp; The biggest thing Terry has learned so far is that when you start out looking for Bigfoot, you often end up learning much more about yourself along the way\u2026<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">&nbsp; Currently Terry\u2019s favorite Bigfoot movies are \u201cThe Legend of Boggy Creek\u201d and \u201cLetters from the Big Man\u201d. His favorite book to date is \u201cThe Quantum Bigfoot\u201d by Ron Morehead.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">&nbsp; Terry is firm believer that when dealing with the Forest People, respect is key\u2026and as long as there\u2019s respect between us, there\u2019ll be no problems.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d09163d e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-child\" data-id=\"d09163d\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d5c246d e-transform elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"d5c246d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_transform_scaleX_effect&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]},&quot;_transform_scaleX_effect_tablet&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]},&quot;_transform_scaleX_effect_mobile&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]},&quot;_transform_scaleY_effect&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]},&quot;_transform_scaleY_effect_tablet&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]},&quot;_transform_scaleY_effect_mobile&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]}}\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2>Where I&#8217;ll Be In 2026<\/h2>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-831e1fb e-grid e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"831e1fb\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1b85aac elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"1b85aac\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.scbigfootfestival.com\" target=\"_blank\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"157\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/rockhillbigfoot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/South-Calorina-Bigfoot-Festival-Logo.png?fit=300%2C157&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium wp-image-392\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/rockhillbigfoot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/South-Calorina-Bigfoot-Festival-Logo.png?w=1177&amp;ssl=1 1177w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/rockhillbigfoot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/South-Calorina-Bigfoot-Festival-Logo.png?resize=300%2C157&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/rockhillbigfoot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/South-Calorina-Bigfoot-Festival-Logo.png?resize=1024%2C537&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/rockhillbigfoot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/South-Calorina-Bigfoot-Festival-Logo.png?resize=768%2C403&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-042d813 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"042d813\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><strong>South Carolina Bigfoot Festival<\/strong><\/p><p><em>Do you BELIEVE?<\/em><br \/>Come join us for all things Bigfoot in our small upstate town of Westminster, SC.
