REPORT DETAIL

Description of event: Hi my name is Brian Smithpeters. My bigfoot sighting happened in my yard. At the time this happened I was 12 years old. From the area where I live no one believes my story. My parents don't even believe me and they were in the house the night this happened.

I was laying in bed around 10:00 or so. I was getting hot so I got up to turn my fan on. My fan sat on a dresser next to my window. So as I got up to the window to turn my fan on something caught my eye. I looked out my window and at first I was shocked and I remember I couldn't really move. It was like I was frozen. I looked out my window and it was a bigfoot. My neighbors across the street had a street light so i did have decent light to see in the dark. I clearly remember it walking upright on two legs and I remember I could see all of it's body covered in dark brown hair. It was walking just as any bigfoot would. Just exactly like the Patterson,Gimlin Bigfoot film. I remember it's body size being so thick also. It had those long swinging arms and the slight hunched over walk it has. I can really only guess how tall it was because my window was about 10 to 12 feet off of the ground. If I had to I would say it was 8 feet tall or so. I do remmeber I was a little higher than it though.

After about 15 seconds or so of seeing this I snapped out of my frozen state and backed away from my window. I just remember standing there trying to figure out if what just happened really did happen. Afer that I decided to go tell my parents in the next room. They kind of laughed and my dad looked out the window for me but didn't see anything. I also told my neighboorhood friends the next day and they all laughed at me to. No one except my brother believes me. I'd say almost everyday I relive this encounter in my head and realize how fortunate I was to see this no matter who doesn't believe me.

Thanks Brian
