ALSO NOTICED: We never saw the Bigfoot, but heard vocals behind us in the woods while we had the fire going that night. It kinda sounded like grunts, or something breathing somewhat heavy. Every time we turned around to see what was making the sound, it would stop. This would go on for about an hour or so. We could also hear a footstep once in a while, and limbs snapping/breaking. I remember it was cold that night, and when me and my dad decided to go inside the house after tending to the fire, we thought we heard whatever was in the woods behind us come out into the opening and get near what was left of the fire we had going.

OTHER WITNESSES: 2 witnesses including myself. We were burning brush we had cleared near the back of the property.

OTHER STORIES: No

TIME AND CONDITIONS: 9pm to 12am, cloudy night

ENVIRONMENT: Pine forest, and thick undergrowth. Opens to a clearing next to an old tobacco barn and a few other buildings on the property.
