Backpackers spot Australian Bigfoot

Two European backpackers travelling across Australia got quite a shock last week when they were confronted by Australia’s Bigfoot, known as the Yowie.

23 year old Ingrid Schoen from Germany and her travelling companion 22 year old Adi Hassan from France were trekking across the bush during the night in Katoomba, New South Wales when they heard branches snap and heavy footsteps heading towards them. Ingrid shone her torch ahead of them to see where the sounds were coming from and both women claim they saw a large hairy beast run off into the night.

“Admittedly we did not get a close look but we think what we saw looked like the American Bigfoot, basically covered in fur and about two meters tall. It definitely had no clothes on and was not human.” Ingrid reported. “We were petrified and almost lost our way back in our nervous state” she continued.

Katoomba is the chief town of the Blue Mountains region of New South Wales and tales of the mysterious Yowie have been passed down for generations by the aboriginal people who inhabit the area. There have also been plenty of recent sightings, including a supposed video of the creature from 2006.
