Witness Observation
I have grown up around here nearly all of my life. While I was living in Bradford, a town north of Searcy, I had an encounter with a bigfoot. I thought I could tell you this story and maybe you could help me to some conclusions. I think I was 11 or 12 years old. At this time I was living with my Grandparents in Bradford. When I say in Bradford that simply means we had a Bradford zip code. We had a farm about 6 miles west on 87. Lots of pasture land and woods to nearly every direction, close to some hilly areas. It happened around 9-930am one summer morning.
I woke up and was lying in bed. I could hear my Grandmother and my Mom talking in the dining room. I got a feeling somebody was watching me. So I turned to look out the window, and there he/she was looking at me. He/she was very tall – more of a slim muscular build, and a reddish-brown hair. It was very peaceful, I never felt scared or threatened by what I was seeing. As this creature stared at me I simply stared back. My curiosity was getting the best of me. I wanted to look at more of it. As I tried to get out of bed gently I put my foot down on the rug that lay on top of a wood floor, I lost my footing and fell to my knees. He/she stared at me still and seemed to have a look of confusion.
We just looked at each other, still I never felt scared. Being that I was so intrigued by this creature I wanted to see him/her or touch him/her or something. When I tried to make a move toward the door, just as my shoulder turned he/she took off running to the west. I took off running through the house toward the kitchen and out to the back porch so I could try to see him. I saw him running away toward my neighbor’s barn. As I watched him run I noticed how odd it ran in comparison to a human. It ran with its hands flat, palms back and very long strides.
One thing that I didn’t notice until many years later, the window he/she was looking at me through is very high. I am 6’5″ tall and I can only look through the bottom pane and it was looking through the top. This is something that has been on my mind for years. I have done some research on bigfoot and sasquatch. It has me asking more questions. Thank you for letting me share this moment with you.

What the hell ! Who on earth thinks myself and the majority of the population has any clue as to where Bradford is ? or Searcy for Christ Sakes. How about a State or Province. That would give us some idea if it were here in the U.S. or Canada. The guy could be from Australia, New Zealand, or Timbuktoo, who knows?

Wes, you have to get our new bigfoot hero on. Les Stroud who though a skeptic I thought was very objective in his quest to find Bigfoot. He even casted a print! Loved the show and I wanna think he has more coming. We all would love to hear from our neighbor from the north.

Here ya go ..
Searcy, Arkansas is approximately 53 miles north east of Little Rock, Arkansas on interstate 67. Bradford, Arkansas is approximately 23 miles further up interstate 67. Interstate 87 runs north west out of Bradford.

@ Rick F… Arkansas
That’s interesting…that hypnotic staring thing BF do…until the concentration breaks… I’ve read that several times before… Nice story
Rick F
Thanks Diana. …….. I had no clue

I didn’t know there is another Rick F on this site! You would think that when signing on this site they would make someone trying to sign up with the same name use some other combination. The Rick F that made the first comment isn’t the Rick F that’s been here from the beginning. I’m going to have to get on touch with Wes somehow to straighten this out.
Rick F
Oh yes I have been here since the beginning. There can only be one Rick F ! How about you becoming Rick “G”

LOL

This must be your first post, I’m on this site daily & this is the first time seeing someone else with my handle. I signed up 28 nov 14, made many posts on the old forum. Never seen one post from you.

Uh oh,sounds like we’ve got a Highlander situation going down between the Rick Fs. You know the rules guys, ” there can only be one!”
Rick F
Nope, Not my first. I travel a lot for my work so I cant be on here daily. Not sure when I signed up but it was around the very beginning when this site went up. I post occasionally but not everyday. Like I said. I have to travel a lot for my work so I cant be on hear daily.
Rick F
Don’t stress to much over it.

The type of run he describes is spot on with the way the creature in the giant sequohas runs. Very odd like

Hi .. This is a good story. . I’m sure he could do better on details if questioned. .. but seems this woods monster wasn’t of the pissedoff variety… mostly just a watcher… wonder if he’s had more in counters. ..
