TERRAIN:
Wetlands thick woods
OBSERVED:
I am writing this as described to me by local
resident XXXXX XXXXXXX. I have always been fascinated with bigfoot but
found it very hard to believe that no bodies have ever been discovered
or one has never been shot and killed to be examined. The topic came up
one day while talking about strange experiences that we could recall.
I told my story of strange objects in the sky that I would classify as
unidentified. After my story my friend XXXXX lost color in his face
as he recalled an incident in the woods behind afore mentioned campground,
XXXXX and a buddy of his were in the woods hunting small game both had
12 gauge shotguns and were avid hunters as they were coming to the clearing
leading to the power lines heading home both gentlemen heard as described
by them thunderous crashing in the woods around them limbs were actually
being snapped as whatever it was charged toward them. remember both
men are armed with shotguns but the noise was so fierce and aggressive
the men darted out into the clearing for fear for there lives. After sprinting
full bore for a good hundred yards XXXXX recalls looking back to see what
was chasing them. He described it as an upright creature with very dark
hair standing upright at the location they exited the woods 8-9 ft. in
height weighing well over 400lbs its arms as described by XXXXX were very
long and body width very wide with shorter thick legs. The gentlemen have
never returned to the location because of the absolute fear of the incident.
I as I said am a skeptic but the look in my childhood friend as he recalled
the incident sent chills through my body his hair on his arm stand on end
as he described the encounter to me and he actually has to pause several
times as the terror of that day still overwhelms him. My family owns that
afore said Campground and in the time frame of that incident I camped out
very often to attend to the daily chores of running the establishment,
mowing grooming and Maintenance. I often recall nights sitting by the campfire
with a distinct feeling of being watched. Upon hearing his story and his
emotion of that day I know I was!
Activities of Witness:
dusk after a evening of small game hunting
in very dense woods.
Description of Creature:
8-9ft. in height very wide body long arms that hung past the knees and
shorter but very stout legs.
Other Notes:
I firmly believe the encounter actually happened
and am disturbed that something could exist the could provoke that much
fear into two armed men.
Other (Informational or Encounter
History in the General Area) Notes:
I have heard of one second hand story very
similar to XXXXXs as described by another friend the details were very
close in description.
