OBSERVED: I saw bigfoot twice in Chance, Alabama and my mom seen him also. He's been living down here far over thirty years. I'm forty seven years old and I remember riding my bicycle through there and hearing all the noise in the woods. I thought it was a big deer going through the woods until I got older. Now I know what it was if you want to see him let me know he's been there from 1980's when I was hearing him and I saw him in 1992 and 2002. One of our cousins said he thinks it was attracted to one of his horses in 2010. I know he's still there.

Follow-up investigation report by BFRO Investigator Michael Brumfield :
The witness has spotted a large biped twice in a ten year period at the same bridge. His mother and brother also admitted seeing the same biped over the years. Its always been seen in the same area. Dark in color, always seen at dusk. About 9 ft. tall, with very wide shoulders about 4-5 ft. across. It appears to have a large stride as it crossed the road in about 3 steps. They state that the stories go back 30 years or more. The witness reports that he and others have heard strange vocalizations on many occasions.
I have found possible tracks in this same area five years ago. The first hand stories go back as many as 150 years. The area is very remote with very few people living there. The witness is willing to show us the area, any time but night time. I have been working on finding more information about a work crew in the area having large, heavy equipment moved around that affected their job.
