Bigfoot in the Night .. (1982, Oazark Mtns.)

Yea, Bigfoot is real; doesn't matter what the naysayers say, if you ever see one, you know they're very real.

I was coming home from a jaunt to Tulsa with my Ark. hillbilly buddy, about a half hr. from Bentonville, and it was late at nite. I was leaning back, dozing, and suddenly my pal woke me up, frantic & excited, telling me to "Look At That!" I opened my eyes, still drowsy, and saw in the headlights something huge & hairy; he had put on the brights (pitch black outside), and the Bigfoot creature stopped 50-60 ft. ahead (near the lower side of the road, which was dirt cut into a high 45^o mountainous slope). It seemed frozen like a deer, and I caught a quick glance at it, and then Bam! it took off up the other side of the road, and Ran Up the Slope, like nothing I've ever seen, except something out of special effects, it took that steep grade so effortlessly & fast.

Me & my bud started jabberin', and I said, "Stop the Car", and being wiser, he sort of chuckle-smarmed me, and said, (his voice shivvering), "No; no-o! I don't think that'd be a good idea."

I looked for it as we passed (my bud, driving, had slowed to a near stop, and then sped up as Bigfoot scrambled up the hillside).

It (honest to God), was all hairy, walked (stood, too), entirely erect, was very wide in girth (not overweight, just thick-built), and had full hair on the face, which had a head shaped human-like, and it's nose was man-like, with no protruding lower-jar area like a gorilla or bear, which was what shocked me most. It appeared huge, seemingly 7 1/2 - 8 ft. tall.

Well, the windows were up, & I didn't smell anything unusual. Me & my bud (born/bred Arkansas hillbilly, from up Harrisson-way; we regularly hiked, spelunked, river-walked, or sometimes just fished, about 1-2 times a wk. (gotta get them ticks off). Anyway, I told a few people over the yrs., but it was dark night, and happened in a flash, so it's nothing you can do much with. But I know, They're Out There, Too.
