Give as much information about the encounter as you can = I was
driving to work. I had only left my home a few minutes before. I
was going across a small cement bridge when I saw something
come up the small hill to my left. I got all the way across the bridge
and this thing was in the middle of the road. I stopped the car, it
turned and looked my way and just kept walking into the wood
line. At first I thought it was a bear but then I realized it was
walking on two feet instead of four. It scared me so bad. I
remember it was maybe 7 foot tall. It had brown fur or hair all over
its body. Not dark brown and not light brown, kind of like the color
of wet tree bark. It did not seem like it was in a hurry or afraid. It
was like it just had someplace it had to go. Its arms were very long
and it was swinging them as it walked. It only took a couple steps
and it was in the woods.

If there is any other information you would like to add please do so
here = I would like to know what this thing was because I travel
this road every day. I told a good friend of mine at work about what
happened and she ask me if I believed in bigfoot. I never did
before but I am not sure now. She told me to look for tracks in the
ground where we saw it. So after work that day I talked my
husband into stopping where we saw the thing and I got out and
after I made sure it was not there I looked to see if it left any
footprints but I did not find any. The ground is covered with pine
needles there.
My husband will not let me give our names or our physical
address and he refuses to talk about what happened.
