The new high school graduates told Natchitoches Parish Sheriff’s Deputies that they saw a figure matching Bigfoot ’s description walking towards them.
After embarking on a 1.5-mile hike in the Kisatchie National Forest, the teens set up camp off of Back Bone Trail.
However, around 9 pm, the group of 17-18 year olds heard a startling sound.
“They reportedly heard a growl and saw what appeared to be an animal that had glowing eyes and stood about 5-feet tall,” the Natchitoches Parish Sheriff's Department posted on Facebook.

Two deputies arrived at the scene after the teens called.
The deputies reportedly spent some time searching the campsite for any suspicious activity and found the teens unharmed.
No traces of Bigfoot, or any other large animals, were found.
“We congratulate the…graduates, thank you for visiting Natchitoches Parish, Kisatchie National Forest and good luck in your future,” the department wrote.

The sheriff’s post drew big attention from Facebook users.
Bigfoot, the legendary character believed to be roaming North America, is said to be around 8 feet tall, not 5 feet like the teens said.
“Those who claim to have seen Bigfoot have described everything from a large, upright ape to an actual hairy human, sometimes standing over eight feet tall and described as powerfully built,” the Washington State Military Department wrote.
Facebook users deemed the creature the teens allegedly saw as “Baby Big Foot.”
“If it was five feet tall could it have really had a 'bigfoot,'” one user wrote.
Others claimed the trail the students were on has a reputation for being home to dangerous animals.
“When I was a child, I remember my Daddy calling this trail ‘The Devil’s Backbone Trail,’” one woman wrote.
“Idk if that was him being funny or what but that’s what I always thought it was and it scared me!”
“Most likely a hog or a bear. I’ve seen plenty of hogs in this area and some are pretty big,” another Back Bone Trail regular wrote.
Above all, many wondered if the teens were in a sober state of mind when they claimed to have seen the Bigfoot creature.
