Actor Rob Lowe claims he saw Bigfoot recently! An actual Sasquatch that locals of the area call the “Wood Ape.”

“A wood ape is the local vernacular for a Sasquatch or a Bigfoot,” Lowe explained.

“We had an incredible encounter with what locals call the wood ape, which is in the Ozark Mountains,” he claimed. “I’m fully aware that I sound like a crazy, Hollywood kook right now.”

 

Lowe, 53, was filming his new A&E documentary series The Lowe Files, in which he and his two sons Matthew, 23, and John Owen, 21, venture through the states seeking out mysterious phenomena.

“We hit the bullseye between true believer and skeptic in a fun way. [The locals] talk to you about the wood ape in all seriousness.” 

“If you call it a Bigfoot or a Sasquatch, they roll their eyes… as if that makes it less outrageous.”

“We’re 100 miles from the nearest town,’ he recalled. ‘We spent 45 minutes on the most rugged, brutal mountain trails. It’s one in the morning.” 

“There are a lot of serious former military men with loaded weapons, then something starts approaching our camps that is defying their orders to stop and their warnings that [they were] armed.”

Lowe didn’t disclose what happened then, but says it will be in the show, he did say he ended up on the ground scared for his life though….

The series hist A&E this August 2nd, and Lowe promises it’s all real with no “BS” or movie magic.
