Follow-up investigation report by BFRO Investigator Clay Smith:

I spoke with the witness and she wasn't really able to add any more specific details to the sighting. The sighting was short with the only descriptive details being over 7ft. tall, long arms and bulky. The creature crouched down as the three witnesses got up to go into the vehicle. It was a clear night and visibility was good, they could tell it was not a person. When the headlights were turned on, it was nowhere in sight. They left the area immediately. No other incidents have occurred there, and the witness has moved from that area since.

I was able to talk to the husband that was her boyfriend with her at the time, and he basically related the same story. He did add that the bigfoot creature was by a large hole that a piece of equipment had dug. He believes it came out of the hole and had been watching them. There was a full moon out. He did not see any facial features or any eye shine from the creature. The husband did say that it was huge, and at least 6'5" regarding height because it stood upright. The creature then crouched down and when they got into the vehicle to shine the headlights on it, it was gone. The sighting lasted about three to five seconds.
