The first time I saw it was when I came in from work one night about 1:30am when it jumped off the hill in front of my car. It heard my stereo and tilted his head about a second. Then it jumped about 35 to 40 feet over my creek to where I had to drive over going up to my home. I was a little worried getting out of my car until my German shepherd came off my porch!

It looked like about 6 feet tall with long arms and had big hands with long fingers. It was dark reddish to brownish color, just like a big orangutan.

My second encounter was one night when it screamed through my dining room windows like a woman being attacked. It was loud and scary my dog got after it. It went to the tree tops jumping tree to tree like Tarzan.

The third time I was outside painting and about 30 feet away it jumped off the hill and stood there watching me. My two granddaughters looked out the door and seen it too and told me to get in house cause Bigfoot was going to get me! She was s locking the doors and made me get in!

Late summer we seen it the most it and it never has tried to attack us when it was close enough too. We don’t bother it. He comes and goes as he wants.
