Big Foot Hunting near Seneca, SCBig Foot hunters near Seneca, South Carolina - by South Carolina photographer Sean Rayford - Jan. 2014

A few weeks back I took a trip into the woods near Clemson, SC on assignment for Columbia's alt-weekly, The Free Times covering a story about bigfoot hunters in the South Carolina upstate. Rumored to be a distant cousin of the Aiken County Slurtoth and the Lee County Lizard Man, this particular sighting describes the humanoid as appearing much like an Ewok.

"When it looked at me I couldn't go after it anymore. And It had human eyes - I think they're more human than people believe," Cari George says about her encounter with bigfoot in the woods of Oconee County, SC. Here are some photos that didn't run in the story and video from our wanderings in the woods. You can read the story by Eva Moore here: Carolina Bigfoot - Searching for Sasquatch in the Upstate.
