NEAREST ROAD: HWY 15 & HWY 33

OBSERVED: WAS ON HWY 15 NORTH JUST APROACHING HWY 33 UNDERNEATH A HIGHWAY LIGHT AND YARD LIGHTS OF FARM HOUSE. WAS APPROACHING AND SOMETHING OR SOMEONE CAME OUT OF THE DITCH ON MY SIDE AND WITH 1 STRIDE CAME RIGHT UP TO MY CAR AND STARED RIGHT AT ME AS WENT BY. AS I SLOWED DOWN FOR THE STOP SIGN I LOOKED IN THE REARVIEW MIRROR AND IT WAS STANDING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD LOOKING AT ME. SORRY, DIDN'T STOP. CALLED MY FIANCE AT THE TIME (NOW MY HUBBY) AND WAS HISTERICAL. HE CALLED THE STATE PATROL AND THE DISPATCH SAID...THIS ISN'T THE FIRST TIME WE HAD A BIGFOOT REPORT. THIS THING WAS AT LEAST 6 TO 7 FEET TALL AND DARK. ALL I SAW WAS EYES ON TOP OF THIS MASSIVE BODY. SCARED THE HECK OUT OF ME. JUST ASK MY HUBBY.

ALSO NOTICED: GLOWING EYES BUT NO SMELL...WINDOWS WERE UP DUE TO COLD WEATHER.

OTHER WITNESSES: JUST ME

OTHER STORIES: NEAR BY BUT NOT THERE.

TIME AND CONDITIONS: ABOUT 10 P.M. DARK BUT COMING UP TO A FARM HOUSE WITH OUTDOOR LIGHTS. CLEAR WEATHER.

ENVIRONMENT: THERE WAS A FARM HOUSE WITH YARD LIGHTS AND A STREET LIGHT AT THE CORNER OF HWY 15 AND 33. THERE WAS A TREE WITH A FALLEN BRANCH BUT THAT IS NOT WHAT I SAW WALK UP TO MY CAR.

Follow-up investigation report by BFRO Investigator Mitch S.:

I spoke with the witness at length and found her story to be credible. She stated over and over that the animal looked directly into her eyes through her side window and was not a man in a suit. The gait of the animal coming out of the ditch was also extraordinary and would be difficult if not impossible for a human to duplicate.

Unfortunately the sighting was brief and she was unable to provide more detail.
