I am a country boy and was raised on a farm all my life inherited from my dads side of the family from slavery. We have over 10 acres of land that we have and my uncles and other family members’ land is connected to our land which equals over 50 acres or more. Most of the family members who land there live out in other counties or out of state so the land is rarely touched or unless someone hunts on the land.
Well 5 years ago, it was in July 2015 and I had stayed at my mom’s house because me and my ex gf at the time had an argument so I left the house to get away. My dog stays on the farm, she is a German shepherd which I had trained for security reasons. Around 10:15 am I heard my dog barking but I didn’t take it seriously because she would bark at squirrels or any small animals around her. What was strange is that she didn’t stop barking for 5 minutes straight and the barking got louder so I got up and walked outside. I had shorts and a tank top on walking towards my dog thinking she was hungry but when I looked in the direction she was barking about 100 yards away.
I saw a large tall human/ape like figure. My first reaction is thinking it was a hunter but I remembered my dad banned all hunting on the land before he passed and I looked to see no gun. The creature was about 7ft tall 3 ft wide chest and broad shoulders. It was brown tan color so I thought it was a carhartt outfit but I thought it’s 90 degrees outside so this is not a human.
It was walking from the right side of the woods crossing the driveway to the left side of the woods. It stopped mid way walking in the driveway and looked in my direction. That’s when my heart dropped and fear/shock hit me when I realized this was not a human but an ape like creature. It looked at me for maybe 2 seconds and turned and continued to walk to the woods. I noticed his arms were extremely long, very muscular, strong hands were almost close to his knees. He had a weird walk and with every step his arms would swing in a strange walking style. I stood there in shock and disbelief.
I ran in the house, got my gun and jumped in my truck to drive to the middle of the driveway. He was gone and it being so many leaves and grass in the woods it was hard for me to get any foot tracks. He walked through the woods like a deer would, he didn’t stop or move to avoid a branch, or anything that would make you stop or bend over to pass through the woods. That day I told my mom and family members they laughed at me.
Till this day I never forgot this encounter and I had a mixture of all types of emotions. I know what I saw and I’ll forever believe in BIGFOOT because I saw him with my own eyes, too bad we didn’t have any cameras on the farm but now we do.
